  1. Its hard to deny Pierce is a solid coach. Thats what the results clearly indicate. I just think I've seen enough to know hes not an elite coach, and we will have to have one in order to win a championship. I really hope we move on so I can get excited about the future.
  2. Anecdotal, but I know two people from Texas that went to Oregon for college on what felt like to me, a lark. It sounds like it’s pretty breathtaking up there in terms of the natural beauty and they both said how “different” it feels up there. Combine that with how strong Oregons brand is and they just seem to have a great pitch for young people that are really looking for a change of scenery. Both came back to finish college in Texas. One after a year, the other after two. I’m not saying anything one way or another about Bowens because I couldn’t know less about him or his situation. I do wonder though how many players need to leave their region to go experience something they’re looking for, and once they’ve scratched that itch, want to come home and actually get to work.
  3. This whole deal felt like Sark being aggressive to me. OU lured him into the portal but they had to sweat it and overpay because Sark went hard in the paint. This deal doesn't project strength for OU. They are limited and I think Sark is well aware.
  4. I got sent to the office in elementary school for calling them the Dicky Licks. My principal had just paddled me the week before. He looked at the write up and was confused. When I told him it was a play on the Dixie chicks he paused for a long time and said “Ok, you can go.”
  5. I'm team Alberto but I kind of want to get one of those FG tools and just do it inside before going out.
  6. That's really poor form. And yea there needs to be lots of parents out there helping. Are y'all on an email list? I'd just politely ask for more help. Like Kent Murphy says- "You ain't doin right by these kids!"
  7. We are having a great season. Im coaching my 5 year olds coach pitch team and having a blast. The kids are always so fired up. So fun. My first grader is playing midget out at SBSMA. He works his tail off. He's all in and cant get enough baseball, which was my only goal for him (to get the bug). He's batting .680 but most of his outs were in the first two games. They've moved him up to the first batter right after the second graders and he has a boat load of RBIs. Curious to get y'all's thoughts. I got them a rope bat last week and I really think Ive seen a quick change in their swings. It's been tough to get them to get their hips through and now they're swinging hard and getting a full twist. Anyone else used it?
  8. Really fighting my shitty fan urge to hope we crater all the way and flush Pierce out.
  9. I asked a former player who is still involved with the program what he thinks about the Pierce situation. He rattled off about a dozen talking points as if he had been waiting for someone to ask him. Most notable ones for me were that his players don't like him and his coaches really don't like him. He said everyone knew the score once Williams and Tulo were gone. This guy said he didn't know anything about plans to make a change but that he wouldn't be surprised just because so many people around the program dislike him.
  10. If they're in our system it still counts as a win for us?
  11. Glad the ribs popped for you too. They knocked my socks off. Just by your picture I can tell your brisket is far superior to what I was served. Probably just got some from a bad brisket.
  12. Btw the Reuben that Roegel's does on Thursdays is phenomenal. It's huge though. Good to split with someone.
  13. I wanted to. I bet if I would've taken a gummy beforehand I would've made the call, but I was too curious about how they stacked up to the other spots I really like.
  14. Brisket and sausage were mediocre. Those ribs make me happy just thinking about them.
