  1. Apparently it takes 5 Texas defenders to tackle their RBs
  2. 2 minute drill may be just what we need to wake up offense
  3. He's actually very good setting the edge. Pass rush hasn't been as advertised. He does things that don't necessarily show up in the stats
  4. One issue is whether D will wear down in 2nd half or if our depth will show through
  5. Simmons partial redemption
  6. Simmons fails to set edge
  7. Tackling atrocious so far
  8. These are the types of plays that lead to upsets -- fumbles at the opponent's 20 & dropped sure TD's
  9. Sleepwalking, this team is
  10. I see you have a problem with truth
  11. Terrible by Blue. Hesitates when he should be blasting north/south, and then he fumbles.
  12. Amazing turnaround by the Royals -- making the playoffs one season after recording 106 losses. Tip of the cap to KC.
  13. Although it does make it even more baffling, but whatev. My guess is that Haver got hurt in practice this week. He wasn't listed on the initial injury report, which suggests he got hurt just recently.
  14. He's the backup DS. So cross your fingers that the #1 (Lance St. Louis) doesn't get hurt before or during the game.
  15. I'm pretty sure Wisner would play if Texas was playing OU or Georgia this weekend. He might play Saturday but I wouldn't be surprised if Sark rests him against Miss St to give his hamstring another week to get right for OU and Georgia. Fingers crossed that none of the three players you mentioned gets hurt on Saturday.
  16. TMI
  17. I would think early October would be fine -- more tree color, that's for sure. You might get snow, sleet, cold temps, etc., esp. at higher elevations, so keep an eye on the weather forecast. Also, the lodging in the Many Glacier area basically closes down in September. And I believe that area is also undergoing a lot of road construction that is supposed to last at least into 2025. So the bottom line is that going to the Many Glacier area of the park in October will be a problem, esp. if the construction is still going on as of 10/25.
  18. I am now officially triggered.
  19. I don't disagree.
  20. I've come to the realization that the primary reason I have a pet peeve about the word "natty" is probably because 99% of those moronic douchebags use it regularly. Some even capitalize it.
  21. Yep, September is a good time to go. Crowds are down and the snows typically haven't hit yet. We did something similar when we visited in September of '19 -- Airbnb cabin near Tally Lake about an hour's drive from the west entrance. We didn't mind the distance because, like you said, the drives are worth it due to the amazing scenery.
  22. I have that same knife (also in black) but with a regular blade (flat grind) instead of combo. I also replaced the toothpick with a small fire steel. My version (non-serrated) was discontinued several years ago -- not sure why. Agree with your assessment about opening this blade -- the hole works but it takes some effort. It's a Leatherman competitor with the biggest drawback (IMO) being that it doesn't have pliers. But like all Victorinox products, it's engineered and made very well.
