    As a final to my original post, I did upgrade my receiver after all. I got a denon AVR-X2400H for $399 from Frys. More 4K HDMI inputs than I’ll ever need, WiFi and Bluetooth and a very easy to use interface.  The Audessy auto adjustment was easy to run  it came with a mic with a cable long enough to reach the couch.  

     

    If anyone wants my pioneer VSX-1020k, I’ll get it to you for $50.  

     

    If you're around atown I might take you up on it.

    The lethargy (read: arrogance) that Herman has approached staff deficiencies with is certainly disturbing and makes me think that his narcissism/stubbornness are going to cause him to be way too slow to fix mistakes. Beck hire sucked when it was made, it still sucks one year after, and it's going to suck two years after, as well.  We'll likely win 2-3 less games this year than we otherwise could with an above average OC. Herman can't afford that kind of setback, yet he's walking right into it with confidence.  

     

    So what you're saying is, is that Tom Herman is the Wile. E. Coyote of Texas Football?

    You’ve got to be able to hold multiple premises in the balance and not feel conflicted, otherwise I should be put on ignore. I can simultaneously cheer for the program to win, for Herman to get his shit together and still view his staff and his behaviors with the staff in utter disdain. I can view the recruiting landscape with disgust and still follow it religiously. It doesn’t need to fit into a box  

    Having recruiting insights and history means sometimes all of the data points don’t add and some things conflict. It is a roller coaster. 

    That said, I largely avoided the weekends of drama regarding Leal and then Wilson. Those rides you were in the middle of? Yeah, man, I sat back and watched. You’ve chosen to take every twist and turn with eyes wide open, so be an adult about the vacillating journey that it is. 

    You're either a CEO, a writer, an attorney, or autistic.  In any case, I like the cut of your jib.

    Not sure if y'all saw this. Pretty scathing.

     

    Read excerpts this morning and there's something I'd point out.  Ozil obviously doesnt have the defensive talent around him that he does when he plays in the national team.  Mustafi is on it in some sense but runs with the 3's.  Also, the other midfielders on the team make it damn near impossible to play the style Ozil likes to play.  I'm mean for fucks sake Xhaka has no business in the starting 11.  Ramsey is good, wilsher is okay, but neither of them possess the quality that Germany has.  

    Ozil played numerous balls into the middle against atleti that damn near any striker with some sense of spatial awareness would have banged in, but Welbeck and Lacazette arent those guys.  It's glaringly obvious we need to gut the middle of the team.  Now that Kosc's is hurt and probably done, we need two CB's and a replacement for Xhaka, and if reports are correct, $50mm is going to get it done.

    He bought her new pillows, failed to notice she never used them, apparently forgot he bought them, and bought her two more. I'm going with "that's on him."

    Nope.

    I did have to laugh at my son today.  I started in the M&A world in December and closed on my first deal today. I picked him and our 2 yo dtr up from school.

    Me to T'Boo Jr: Hey pal, today I closed the big deal I was working on over the last few months.

    T'Boo Jr to Me: Dad we are talking about pirates right now.

     

    Pirates it is my man.  

     

    T'Boo II is a savage.

    Also, welcome to the wild and wooly world of M&A.   Glad I'm finally not alone around here.
