  1. ...that isn't a backstory. That's an explanation of why he didn't know anything and still doesn't.
  2. If it's determined that a player transferred for athletic reasons, they are ineligible for one season. This happened with the Weatherford qb (committed to Vanderbilt) who transferred from Azle.
  3. There are brief moments when I'm reading something like that and I think, "Is there something I'm missing? Have I invested so much in fandom that I've lost sight of what happened? Could it be that A&M made a surge?" And then I remembered they went fucking 8-5 four years in a row and it hits me that those people have willfully chosen to create their own dimension of lunacy in which life isn't quite as miserable for them. But even in that fabricated reality they're still the cuckhold to their Bama/LSU counterparts.
  4. The Boys was way better than any of the Marvel TV shows. I don't really binge watch TV anymore and I finished it in two days. Can't wait for season 2. Took me half an episode to realize Homelander was Banshee dude.
  5. Read The First Law Trilogy recently. It's one of my favorite fantasy series I've ever read. I probably enjoyed it more than Thrones or Kingkiller. Abercrombie is coming out with a new book in the same universe in September. I think it will be another trilogy.
  6. I don't know if they'll be much worse than last year. Riley kind of has the benefit of the doubt. The good news is that we don't need then to be much worse because we beat them last year and I think this year's team will be better. No one else in the conference really impressed me so I fully expect to play them twice.
  7. *checks for Bowman updates then slowly backs out of thread
  8. Maybe Orlando is just crossing his fingers that Jackson and Hullaby end up linebackers so he doesn't have to recruit. Worked for Drayton last year.
  9. I get this, but most of those schools are also just the best programs in college football. If a kid is considering tOSU, Clemson, Alabama and Georgia it doesn't necessarily mean their dirty. It could legitimately mean they want to go to the NFL. Clemson has won two national championships recently and puts a ton of guys into the first round. It isn't insane to want to go there.
  10. Cliff Booth is instantly a top Tarantino character. I'm not sure where I rank this but I'm distubred that everyone who has mentioned their top Tarantino films has left Inglourious Basterds out. That's my second behind Pulp Fiction... Maybe first actually.
  11. Bijan has the best rb film in the country but I don't know how much of that is due to the level of competition. I've wanted him more than Evans ever since I saw his film and Evans started opening his mouth.
  12. There is film of him playing TE. Everman plays an old school I-formation offense and lines him up with a hand on the ground plenty.
  13. Apparently he might play qb for Everman this year. He's played it a little bit the past two years but I think they need him their full time now because they need the ball in his hands. Also I'm pretty sure he goes by "Duke" and not Juan.
  14. Watched this kid live a couple times the past two years. Their passing game just consists of throwing jump balls up to him and letting him out-man dudes, even when he was a freshman. Feel like he's pretty raw because they don't do anything sophisticated, but he has ball skills.
  15. I think our defense will be more comfortable with their scheme than LSU's offense will be with theirs.
  16. No one is doubting that. We're discussion going from 250-320 and we're discussing Orlando's claims that Texas can put on 30 lbs in two months.
  17. A lot of high schools lift programs are superset, full body workouts. They'll target five different muscle groups rapidly in a 30-45 minute period. It's good for conditioning but I don't think it's good for building muscle. So most guys are "beginners" when they get to college. A beginner can expect to grow muscle more rapidly than the average person. Having said all that, human beings cannot add more than a few pounds of muscle per month. 3 lbs of muscle in one month would be a lot. Which leaves several options. 1. Guys like Sweat weren't measured accurately before showing up on campus. 2. Guys are adding a lot of fat and water weight in addition to the muscle gains. 3. Guys are using performance enhancing drugs (even then it wouldn't account for 30 lbs in two months) All of those could be true, but #2 has to be true. When you see that guys put on that much weight, most of it is not muscle.
  18. So most likely "best 11" as Orlando says... DL - Roach, Coburn, Graham LB - McCulloch, Ossai DB - Green, Foster, Jones, Sterns, Thompson, Cook With the potential for Overshown and Jamison to move in to that top 11 depending on how Thompson looks. The tackling ability of Jones and Foster helps you to be less worried about what a running team could do against 6 dbs used even more than last year.
  19. I can't see a dude who plans on being in college for 3 years worrying too much about the class that likely won't play until he's gone.
  20. I went on my first cruise. Royal Caribbean. There was an 18+ game night with a lot of nudity. I figured Surly would universally appreciate that, so maybe that isn't typical.
  21. The amount of random Card hate on this board was surprising. I like Jackson a lot for Herm's scheme, but I think Card has a better chance to throw 30+ TDs in a season than any guy Texas has had in a decade.
