  1. I guess and you and @InkaUtexas can speak better to this that the IDEA is to let the people decide? Not saying that something in the ether comes to fruition but that the concept was to let them decide if they want Machado? Also not saying it’s feasible. The army around Marduro was largely Cuban? That’s what I’m getting from articles I’m reading (loosely translated to English) so they were not that loyal to him? I’m guessing is why he didn’t make it to the panic room they’d have to blow torch into to get him. That he never made it to tha part of the house?
  2. I do think it’s more than a “wag the dog 🐕” deal and we know Congress will do their thing. Meaning Dems will want hearings impeachment etc…but Rubio has wanted this for a long time imo based on what I’ve read. But since it’s done and the genie can’t be put back in the bottle I would assume Machado will be installed bc why allow the VP there to stay? Still no word on the Chinese delegation but maybe they sent Chinese Monks with blow torches? Not ninjas? (Plot of a movie that no one has probably seen but me…if anyone knows what I’m referring to.)
  3. Yeah I get the Cuba domino that was the inspiration for Rubio’s plan. This is a huge linchpin though so it has massive effect around the world. I love Machado so I would like for her to be able to lead the country but I don’t know if that’s what will happen. It’s hard to know at this point if it will have the ripple effect Rubio believes it will or if it will be a tsunami of shit in the opposite direction what we just did.
  4. @atomheartbevo is your feeling on this that this was sort of Rubio’s brainchild? I read a ton of different sources (true crime habit) and that seems to be the consensus. Do we then install the Nobel Peace Prize winner Machado? Also what happened to the Chinese delegation that was there? I assume China and Russia aren’t down with any of this. Was the idea to capture the oil to gain leverage over Russia? In negotiations? Because everything I’m reading says this was Rubio’s idea?
  5. So I live in Williamson County and early this morning (3-4 am) get series of texts and calls saying to shelter in place. Then 7 am another flurry of texts and calls saying situation is resolved. I still have zero idea what the incident was. Anyway I don’t have glasses on so I also get a text saying we have captured Marduro and I was half awake going “he was in Williamson County?” 😂 that’s all I have to contribute. Carry on. Love to hear @atomheartbevo take on Marduro’s capture as he’s kept this thread going a couple of years.
  6. That’s something that baffles me. Out of anyone coming from the Saban tree. If Cig can do it (albeit with some older players but ones who ain’t 4 and 5 stars) I fail to understand how penalties cannot be cleaned up if a HC is doing his job. Penalties are killers even as much as a bad kick or two are. Damn.
  7. It’s stunning to me SMU beat Miami. sMU is a good team. Great HC too. I will still believe Tech’s defense played damn well for basically 3 quarters with zero help on offense and had they had a QB that game would have been close imo.
  8. No injuries. Glad that player from Rice in the earlier game is ok and moving all extremities. I know people are burnt out on Bowls and with the expanded playoffs they seem to be dying off in the current format but players can still audition for the NFL and keeping a spot on their current team and so on. Good luck to both teams. Stay healthy!
  9. No doubt. They are Grown ups in a process run by adults that know how to coach. And emphasize that hard work and a process a regular practices yield results. One of the greatest strengths of a HC is being able to manage his hand picked staff. Cig also has an innate ability to spot talent. Something he did well under Saban. Something he’s done in his short tenure so far as a HC both at JMU and at Indiana. What he’s doing is sustainable. It’s not exactly what TCU did but he’s building strength year over year in a division in flux. Hats off to him 🤠 🤘🏼 in one year he has beaten two HC’s that Sark still hasn’t been able to beat. With all the money and resources in the world. Truth. Cig isn’t trying to scheme the defense or the offense. He manages the entire team and entire staff. Thats a HC to me. I am not sure if the below list is accurate as far as HCs trying to be a coordinator also but it stands to reason that a HC should not be both a HC and a coordinator,
  10. 🥺😢😭🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
  11. I’m sad about Parker. A lot. He’s the type of player who would have been a fan favorite. Arch is too obviously per his instagram. I felt Parker showed a ton of potential and tremendous promise as a freshman. And he will only develop into a beast at the position. I know he will be missed. I would have loved for him to stay. There are plenty of people I’d like to chuck in the portal but Parker wasn’t one of them and that includes our coaching staff.

    IIRC a few pressers back Sark said he wasn’t concerned about our culture. Is this an unusual amount of players hitting the portal? The other day Sark was talking to the press about unreasonable “agents” (not easy to deal with types players have that have no agent experience.) Our Cheez-It win should be a pretty good recruiting tool for us. It’s not like we don’t have the money. If we make smart portal decisions (ahem look at Cig) we should be able to build a team around what we still have and Arch. I don’t keep up with recruiting nor the portal but is the consensus here something is WRONG and that we are losing players bc of it? Or is the amount we are losing no different from any other team? Is it on the level of Bama or Aggy attribution when DeBoer and Elko were hired? don’t know what to do with my very sweet Parker Livingston/stone jersey from someone I love dearly. Damn. not trying to stir up shit…just don’t know what people make of this. I realize there are a lot of wait and see types but is this amount of players leaving normal for a coach entering his 6th season or is it abnormal? Confused.
