  1. Well, I’m in.
  2. If I have read the right stuff, there’s a big difference between the situations surrounding Remington and Colt over the past 12 months. When Remington went bankrupt in 2014 or whenever and sold to the PE group that just bankrupted them for the second go around, they were losing money on each round they made. Think about that. Crazy inefficiency. In their latest bankruptcy, it is my understanding that the PE group essentially sucked all the cash out of the business and made enough money in that way to declare the bankruptcy and sell at a practical loss, and still come out financially ahead. It is very possible that Colt has been operating under Remington’s original problematic circumstance. If you lose money on every item you sell, and the market picks up and you start selling a lot, it actually accelerates your loss in a market where you should be making a ton of money. No idea if that is the case but it does bottle the mind a little bit to think that they went broke in this market.
  3. ammoplanet.com has stock, just FYI. I bought 9 and 5.56 from them on Tuesday and it showed up today. Shit weather so haven’t tested it out yet but all appears good.
  4. Good for JJ. Hope he gets a ring. Good dude, can join Dre in the Hall of Fame in Texans gear.
  5. My time on the 40 Acres saw Texas/USC for it all, a Final Four, and two baseball national titles. Fuckin A
  6. Fine offensive quarter for sure, but return to much better D. Jimmy Buckets just willing them on at the end there. He’s impressive. Love the Heats unis and court.
  7. Was on the first train to leave the “Hire Urban” station and would’ve been pumped to hire him, but you do it knowing it comes with guaranteed headaches.
  8. He’s not canon... yet.
  9. Wow. Airball. My apathy has never been so high.
  10. Is it just me or does anyone else not give a fuck what happened under previous coaches? I’m excited for all returners under competent management, Sterns especially, I think.
  11. Yes. Already above the average career of an NFL player and appears to be positioned to continue playing.
  12. Not his first go around with substance abuse. Very sad, he had such immense opportunity provided him in his life. But fuck him, please let these kids make very full recoveries.
  13. Yes, but you suggested CDC was behind Anwar’s tweet. What led you to that conclusion?
  14. What led you to the CDC connect
  15. We had some pretty solid defense cooking for a few games in a row during that streak, but it has not been there the last two nights. Really thought they were building towards something, hope that wasn’t a mirage.
  16. Wow. Hope there’s more to it than it appears, for Anwar’s sake...
  17. And I jinxed Dipo
  18. And they lost Dort in Q2! Just was not our night.
  19. I hope we can continue to play good ball, especially once we get some tougher schedule stretches, and Vic O’ La Deep decides to sign with us. Love his game, and feel like the structure of our team as is right now benefits from his game and attitude.
  20. CTJ - You get WAY too mad about internet shit. You should probably just relax. Your targeting of people and directing unreasonable anger at them and then lambasting anyone who disagrees, is weird and kinda sad. Aren’t you a grown man..?
  21. The CDC hate coming from the cult of CTJ/Syd makes the whole thing make way more sense.
  22. The fact that people bomb on CDC so often and in such numbers is silly. He made a huge mistake in extending Herman when he didn’t need to, but he’s cleaned that up now and then some. Most other hires have been great, and he’s doing a really good job in general.
  23. Good thread erryone, peace out
  24. I will never understand Dallas sports fans obsession with all things Houston. Weird.
  25. This franchise is trying super hard to fuck every choice up.
