  1. We used to see porcupines fairly regularly at our old deer lease just outside of Brady, but we lost it 7 or 8 years ago.  Haven't seen any at the new one.  I can't remember the last time I saw a ringtail. I remember seeing them all the time while hunting when I was a kid.

  2. One of the stores was the HEB Plus in Bastrop.  I wouldn't be so cocky, I expect it's gonna be like this everywhere sooner or later.  The briskets still have the fat cap intact, but when they remove the deckle it looks like they take a much bigger hunk than necessary out of the point. 

  3. So does HEB not sell untrimmed packers anymore?  I've been to 2 different ones in the last week and they both had either super trimmed or a new creation called deckle trimmed brisket that is 5 or 10 bucks more expensive and very mangled looking on the point end.  They do a shitty job of removing the deckle. Thanks a lot you assholes.

    I wouldn’t take me as literally as you did here. I was just spitballing an excuse and probably chose too low key of one, for these guys, frankly. 

    Let me be perfectly clear about Shepherd. If Texas somehow winds up with him, I’ll be out in front rationalizing why I am excited to see what they can do with him. I’ll be fucking shocked if that happens though. 

    Turning up in College Station instead of Austin seems like something they would do.

  5. Does the pastrami brine penetrate all the way through the center of the brisket in 3.5 days?  Most of the recipes have seen take a week to make sure the brisket is cured all the way through.

  6. Heaven forbid we talk about recruits on the recruiting board.  Some of us have been following this stuff for 20 years at this point.  You start to get a pretty good idea about physical development after awhile.

  7. Yep, looks at Colt's shoulders and legs in high school.  Very different than Card.  Also, Card has been in an excellent strength program since middle school.  He's not a guy who's been on the school lunch program his entire life while barely touching weights.  Card looks a lot more like Case than Colt.

  8. If you look back at the guys we've had who have put on a lot of weight, they all had traits that Card doesn't have.  If someone is going to put on 40 or 50 pounds of weight, there has to be to places to put it.  That starts with big thighs and wide shoulders.  Card has narrow shoulders and skinny legs.  He's also extremely cut already which is not a good thing when someone needs to add a lot of weight.  Look at pictures of Omenihu or Orakpo in high school   They looked a little soft.  They didn't have a twelve pack and wiry arms and legs.  Guys who are over 6' and well south of 200lbs with his frame, don't end up at 220.
