  1. I had a lot of friends in Hidden Forest in high school. It is a good area, but I would imagine any house there needs at least 40-50k worth of work.


    We spent around $30K and that was after the owners before us did a few things before it hit the market. A full flip just sold on our street so hopefully that’s the neighborhood future.
  2. We made the move back in June from the DWF area. We drew a “v” from downtown to 1604 / 281. We looked north of 1604 but the plan was to stay inside it.

    We settled in Hidden Forest which is across from the SilverHorn Golf course down at 281 / Bitters. We had to do a shit ton of remodeling, but we love the area. Everything is so close and a $15-20 Uber Ride to the Pearl.

    I work just north of downtown and takes me 20 minutes in the morning and 30 in the afternoon.

  3. For breakfast stop at the Las Palapas at 1604 and 281. The kids will love their huge pancakes and you and the Mrs can get breakfast tacos or huevos rancheros....and a Bloody Mary.


    Stopped at Las Palapas for the first time this morning. Pretty damn good.

  4. Staying up north off of 1604 near 281 for a couple of nights...appreciate any restaurant recommendations in that area, kid friendly unfortunately.  Tex Mex recs, whatever..hell, I'd be fine with a good beer restaurant/tap room with food.  I think Freetail is out that way...

  6.  So 8 players may have failed tests for weed?  No way gooners keep players out of CFP for ganja...  
    Funny how RJ Young posts:  "I'd chill on this for the time being."
    Hmmm...  Early Signing Day just a little  over 30hrs away!! 


    If it’s an NCAA test then yes, they will sit. Unless it’s changed the NCAA will randomly select a small portion of the team for testing at the start and end of every season. Typically it’s around 10 guys or so.

    This is how those Texas guys got popped at the Cotton Bowl that one year.
  7. What could have been...

    What could have been awesome is that Beck took the remaining staff with him and left TH on the sidelines for the bowl game all by himself.


    That’s basically what has happened all year.
  8. Urban does seem to make the most sense, but I'd need someone to convince me he wouldn't step out in an unexpected stress/medical reason.  


    We don’t need him to stay 10 years. Get it turned around, win a NC in year 2-3 and then he can walk away. There are no other good options out there this year.
  9. I'll just start this by saying I don't expect anything to get fixed, because if the coaches were going to fix the same issues we've seen pop up week after week, then they already would have. If Herman fired Orlando right now and gave the interim DC (probably Ash) two weeks to install a new, simplified scheme, then our defense could take a massive step forward to below average for the rest of the season, but he probably won't.
    On offense, I've been talking about this since the offseason, but playing basically 100% 11 personnel is just stupid. We're seeing the same thing with McVay in the NFL. When you're too tied to a single personnel grouping, you can't exploit a defenses weaknesses week to week and it's too easy to figure you out.  Hell, even McVay has mixed up his personnel quite a bit more in response and their offense is improving . I was hopeful when we heard stuff about the 2 back sets in the offseason that Herman would do this, but he hasn't and we're basically just relying on Sam to be super human each week, which is a completely unfair standard to require of him.  Herman needs to spend all bye week and next offseason studying guys like Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur. You don't have to run a ton of different concepts. If you run the same concepts out of a bunch of different looks, then it gives the illusoin of complexity while keeping things simple for your offensive personnel. 
    On both offense and defense, teams have our systems figured out. They know our keys/reads and how we'll react and are exploiting both sides of the ball accordingly. The lack of response from both sides of the ball is pretty unbelievable actually. I knew Herman was stubborn, but to see the complete absence of any kind of response to teams figuring us out is still pretty shocking to me. 
    Special Teams has been absolutely pathetic. Calling fair catch and actually catching it would probably have us net about an extra 300 yards on the season. I have no clue how any ST unit, even with terrible coaching, could be this bad. Shit is fucked, and ST is probably the most obvious sign of how terribly coached this entire team is. I still can't believe how far this team has fallen in such a short amount of time. It doesn't even seem possible.
    The only real fixes for either side will come with a new DC, and possibly OC (if Herman were to let that OC have any meaningful say in the offense), or at least Herman spending all offseason making real changes to his offense. We'll have the personnel to run 21, 11, 12, and plenty of other variations next season, so there will be absolutely no excuse to come out and run all 11 personnel next year, but that's what I'm expecting until the coaching staff can show otherwise.


    I’d co-sign that email
    • Texas State hires Kendal Briles as HFC
    • Houston promotes Randy Clement to OC from Run Game Coordinator / OLINE
    • This opens up OLINE job at UH which Warehime takes at the request of Herman
    • This opens up TE job at Texas for Beaty with a Assoc Head Coach / Recruiting Title (for more pay)
    • Casey Horney gets a position coaching position on Briles staff at Texas State.
