  1. Fuck him. When I look at batting averages and the IL and just generally observing, I’m amazed our record is what it is. Pitching is obviously this team’s bread and butter, but we can be and should be, and IMO will be, way better, and hopefully that coincides with the playoffs starting. This team is unreal. Conforto should’ve hopped on in the hopes he got a chance to be a part of the magic. What a donkey
  2. We’re 19th in Strength of Schedule. Jags may get better under new leadership, but I don’t think the Colts necessarily took any big steps forward. Running game looks much better, and if we can run and play good D, no reason not to have a sliver of optimism.
  3. OK here’s the plan: 1. Hire Bob Stoops 2. Bring Hall back to roster with zero punishment but just tell people he was punished. 3. ???? 4. Zero questions asked or accountability required. Starts Game 1.
  4. Vegas has O/U on season wins at 4.5. I don’t think we’ll blow by that number or anything but I think we’ll surprise some people. We’re going to be pretty good on defense, I think. Often that is enough to move from ‘total suck’ to ‘mediocrity.’
  5. Frost not coming through reminds me of Randolph and Mortimer Duke.
  6. Still better than anything Futureman does
  7. EDIT: Casey was out for one play, only. Thought he might’ve been hurt or something. Came right back in after one play (first play of drive) and nearly threw a pick.
  8. Yes, boosters were calling all the plays and resetting depth charts. The boosters brought in a bunch of their own recruits to watch. They even switched us over to orange water coolers and orange Gatorade.
  9. I heard Ewers had put on 20 pounds. That’s a lot of NIL in bills, and a lesser amount if coins.
  10. The 9.95ers do not ‘cover sports’. They’re not journalists. They are in the business of selling subscriptions, and ‘we have turbulent QB news’ sells more subscriptions than ‘no need for insider news because all is going as expected.’ Stop sweating over them lying or doing other stupid shit to sell subscriptions.
  11. So if I’m reading the room right, and I think I am, things could not be going better. Ill order the champagne for the Bama game.
  12. A white guy named Dusty from Oklahoma who has sworn off the N-word has a very Las Vegas shotgun-wedding vibe to it.
  13. I’m no recruiting expert, but I know enough to say this is not how that works.
  14. Today is the day Yordan Corleone settles all family business.
  15. Fuck. Best of luck, dude, that’s brutal. He’s a baller, I thought that was a really good pick for what we needed and what we want to do on O.
  16. If that was a ‘sellout’ crowd I’ll eat my fucking hat.
  17. Did it with Urquidy->Martinez->Maton for nearly 8 which is far from our optimal rollout. Doubleheader wore us down a bit. Wait until they see our final form… Props to Urquidy, pitched his ass off.
  18. Someone hurry to Costco so we can secure that Kirkland Signature.
  19. I think we should have them deal drugs. Holding, but getting away with it, is key.
  20. Jumbo’s history of living by the rules and establishing a culture around him that enforces an upstanding lifestyle will have their recruiting efforts hindered by this clear occurrence of meddling by the secret Longhorn-Saban cabal. Saban’s wife is a known Austin real estate mogul.
