  1. I'm a passive follower of recruiting. Most of my info comes from this board. I guess I don't understand the hand wringing around this Tyler Harrell kid. 1. His profile says he's from Miami. 2. The Aggy 9.95ers pretty much told their audience that most of the money available for players would be used on retaining the 2022 class. That should indicate whatever they get in the portal is done with a large of amount of finger crossing. JAGs that you hope the best for. Especially if you plan on filling out the roster since they lost 1/3 of it due to graduation and the portal. Not sure how that changes next year, unless they make more money available for players. They'll need a large class. Or a lot of incoming transfers. And the 2022 class is still expecting money, and they may up their requirements to stay on a train to nowhere if they go 7-5. The complete mismanagement of the roster and lack of organization on actual NIL is fascinating to watch.
  2. I never planned to start on Jan 1, so I'm not counting that. Jan 3 was my start date, and I'm 16-2. Old friend came in town last weekend, and I had a few on sat and sun. Didn't overdo it at all, which I was proud of
  3. This is our first year trying it. We usually back in Jan, but never tried to go totally dry. The workweek wasn't hard. Busy days and we were both tired all week. We went out to dinner last night and it really wasn't an issue sticking to water. Today has been the hardest. I got a ton of errands done, worked around the house, played soccer with the kids, got in a run/bike combo, and now it's getting dark, football is on, and I feel like relaxing with a fucking beer.
  4. Have you never had a dog? It took mine about 3 different types of food when he was a puppy to find one he would eat. To this day there are some treats he won't touch. But he goes ape shit whenever we cook chicken or turkey. Or salmon. He LOVES salmon skin. Yes, he loves eating deer poop in the yard, but he's also a lover of the finer things.

    USMNT 2023

    True, but Greg threw Gio under the bus at a speaking engagement and tried to claim he thought it was "off the record." I find it a little funny Mrs. Reyna said she thought her conversation was a private one. Revenge is a dish best served cold...by a helicopter parent.
  6. Btw, my cousin's son was a walk-on at Aggy somewhat recently and still has a bunch of friends around the program. Saw him at Christmas with the extended family today, and he wasn't exactly bullish about the future. "Total shitshow" was the phrase uttered at least 3 times. Talked about the pot smoking in Bright Complex by Denver Harris and the other guys. Talked about how when it was drug testing days they knew well in advance and a guy would hand them their cup and then leave. People commonly brought in urine to use. He said the guys that were with Jimbo at FSU said the culture was actually worse at FSU. He had been working for a company involved in NIL and said a big package was ready for Demas, literally ready to be signed, and then he beat up his girlfriend. And the University hearing about the incident was every bit as bad as the articles. He has since gotten into coaching at his old high school, and he has interest in being a GA at the college level, specifically at Aggy. "But I'm ot anywhere near than shitshow."
  7. They have no good solution other than blowing the whole thing up, but they won't do that. They spent so much money on the 2022 class that they can't let them walk. Plus, from a talent perspective that's their best chance of fielding a team that is halfway competitive. The bad news they are a bunch of mercenaries that will require a LOT of funding every year, at least the ones worth a shit. But due to shittastic roster management, they have a LOT of scholarships to fill, and need to do so via the portal. Oops, no money for that, with the exception of the guys nobody wants. Because teams with proper raster management will take a rifle approach and put resources behind a few key players rather than the shotgun approach Jimbo has fucked them with. Well, about that money...there probably is money to fill a foster, but the guys with the money are withholding it due to "creative differences" with the offense and need Jimbo to change what he's doing on that side of the ball. That's a great plan when the coach you are trying to strong-arm has 100% of the leverage due to a joke of a contract that an 8 year old would laugh at. Classic cutting off your nose to spite your face. So Mr. "A dig is a dig" is going to hire an OC-in-name-only to run the same tired offense and for once I completely agree with Aggies everywhere...I can't fucking wait until next year.
  8. I don't enjoy watching bad football on TV. And there's plenty of stuff to do when it's 20 degrees outside. There were less than 40 points to scored by teams with a combined 13-11 record entering the game. There was nothing fun about that game unless you had money on it. Participation trophies for all! Mediocre directional schools playing small private or commuter schools in what amounts to cripple fights isn't much of a build up. But point made...to each there own. The more I think about it, the more I think these games exist for the gambling community.

    Shit My Kid Says

    We've had a bunch of treats delivered by neighbors, co-workers, etc. We offer the kids some Godiva chocolate truffles after lunch, but we tell the 6 year old he has to finish his meal first. He's the slowest eater ever, so like 20 min later he pushes the plate forward and says "now can I have some of that vagina chocolate?"

    Shit My Kid Says

    No son. Jesus wasn't born in Austin. He only played football here from 2003-2005.
  11. They sure as hell didn't come down for the game this week. I don't have LHN so couldn't see how many butts were in seats.
  12. My memories of the Independence Bowl is a fairly well attended bowl featuring a couple of 8-4 or 7-5 type teams. Weather can be iffy, but the game is usually entertaining. W.T.F. These teams are shit. There's a team from Lousiana and Houston, which isn't that far away, and there may be 5,000 people there. The teams are 6-6 and 7-5, and only because they play in dogs shit conferences. Just terrible football. We really need to cut the number of bowl games in half.
  13. Because if there is one thing that goes through my mind watching a Mike Leach (RIP) offense vs. Jimbo, it's "yep, those are the same."
  14. We've made other plans. I'm not going down there just to be turned around because I need to pay $60 per ticket for a shitty weeknight game over the holidays. If you end up going, please report back what the scalping situation looks like.
  15. Interested, but i need to find another 3 together. My family of 5 is trying to go, and we can split up 2/3 if needed.
  16. What are the odds I could find 3 seats together for a reasonable price down at the arena before the game? I have a family of 5, and we could split up 2 and 3 if needed. Someone is selling a pair in the For Sale forum, so if I bought those I still need 3 together. Cheapest I could find on StubHub is $82 per ticket for 3 together. That's a little steep for a mid week game against a directional Lousiana school.
  17. This is really surreal. They were on Cloud 9 with unfounded hopes of a playoff birth and all the hype around their recruiting class just a few short months ago. Fast forward to today, and every day I wake up and it's like Nope. It's real.
  18. And what he really means is "time to just raise other people's money"
