    He does. But they've established that Jayson can and will fly off the handle, especially when it comes to Eryn. I mean, he knew about her cheating, and as far as we can tell, he didn't do anything to her and still worships her.
  3. like what are we talking about here...

    I think contriving to have a second season is what could lead to a letdown of a finale. This is a story that should be told completely in this season. As for Perry and Jayson, I look at it as Perry having a sort of mental fugue from the accidental killing of Eryn, and the narration of the beating plus seeing in person how unhinged Jayson can be, coupled with his comments about her being his Northstar or some much, has made clear in Perry's mind the danger that he is in.

    RIP D'Angelo

    they are risk factors for, but that comment was taking quite a leap here. gotta say, the somewhat anecdotal increase of GI cancers in Black people, and Black men especially is troubling. D'Angelo was one of one. this aging business sucks.

    That's what I think, and I wonder if what we didn't see was some sort of deal he cut with Freddy. Otherwise it's one man against how many bikers?
  7. deserves its own thread. It can't be over-emphasized enough, especially in these times, not to take law enforcement's word at face value

    I get that they've presented it so far that these aren't career criminals or particularly smart criminals, but surely Robbie's plan for the fentanyl cannot be what it looks like on the surface.
  9. Hi!
  10. let me toot my own horn
  11. if Dan Lanning didn't want to go to Alabama, why would he want to come to Texas. please don't say NIL
  12. am I crazy, or does it seem like the other teams in Texas took one look at the landscape of college football, and decided to really get serious about their rosters, while we kinda just sat pat? too much of the Mack Brown, We're Texas era of player acquisition vibes this offseason. I mean, don't look, but Tech just got a commitment from the #1 rated DL for 2027.
  13. he kinda stepped into a couple of sacks today by holding on too long
  14. he does still call almost all the plays, but has come out and said he allows Kubiak to do so as well.
  15. Shanahan has an OC. So do McVay, Ben Johnson, Andy Reid. you can make arguments in each case how much each OC does, but it is telling that each understand the need to be the HC, and not get stuck on the pride of being a brilliant play caller and somehow know how to embed their DNA into the team so much that they can have it called by someone else, or even just have someone to converse with during the game and pay attention, not stuck in the minutiae of relaying the next play
  16. Agree with this, though elite players continue to think the other player is the problem, not the offensive guru. I think having QB #1 recruit drafted in the late, late rounds, and failing to develop one of the most famous QBs as the consecutive coach/playercaller would begin to stick, but who knows.
  17. It's a bit or mental derangement with him. He will post how everyone is a pussy and stupid, claim Texas will beat X team. Then after a loss, try to shame anyone who expresses concern about the team, rinse and repeat. If you don't seal your lips to the pipe and inhale all the burnt orange smoke available, you're an infidel. Anyways, to the topic at hand, I think the OU game tells the story. A bit of a cop-out, but if Arch can just improve on more than a few things, the team comes out understanding that they are underdogs now and the butt of many jokes, and plays with some spine, it's doable. The 1st quarter will tell the tale of that one. I have less faith in the coaches
  18. he says it, but nothing about him exudes that. compare with another person thought of as an offensive genius, who really shows it in Shanahan.
  19. His uncles played at the same HS. Was the competition better then? I don't think you can just narrow it like that. Do I think his rating was warranted? No. But I don't think he is a 2-star/3-star as quoted above. Low 4-star is about accurate.
  20. There are people who can learn multiple things at in a compressed time-frame (multi-processing is a mirage though), my feeling is that Arch might not be one of those. What I mean, is that behind a decent OL, he might have just had to focus on timing, going through his reads and so on. But now you add to that, getting a better sense of a broken pocket, sliding to avoid the rush, learning when to throw away and when to take a sack, and when the sack is lethal.. etc. It might be a bit much for him. Again my only hope is that this an immersive type learning year for him.
  21. There is no way Arch is a 2-star or 3-star QB who got boosted to 5-star simply because of his name. All the premier programs didn't want him just because of his name. Sometimes 5-stars don't make it. It happens. His story isn't done yet. And I'm a critic
  22. Dak Prescott is getting run on The Athletic for MVP.... I'm not sure what the attempted point to be made was in bringing him up in this thread.
  23. It's not happening, and it shouldn't happen.
