  1. We come up with $5 mil for every five star and they can't even come up with like $90 mil to fire their coach? What are they? Poor?
  2. You told the same lame joke as the guy 4 posts above you, but somehow it was even worse. Impressive.
  3. After this year they've got 17 DL and 5 LBs. That's some Tom Herman roster mismanagement right there. That's fucking criminal. Holy fuck....
  4. That single piece of toast is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
  5. I hate Creed just as much as the next guy. But if, hypothetically, I get stuck drinking a cosmo at a craps table and I start to go on a heater, I'm gonna keep ordering cosmos. You just don't fuck with lady luck.
  6. I mean, if he wants to start learning math and making money, selling drugs would be far more lucrative. And it would make him very popular in school. Set him up with a grip of xannys and addys and it'll be a rocket ship to success!
  7. For the Rangers or in all of baseball? It's happened 3 times in the last 4 years. Rangers this year. Astros last year. Braves in 2020. And before that Royals in 2014 and Rockies in '07. But before that it didn't happen very often. Edit: I only know this because I just read an article on it.... But you totally should have known, you dumbass.
  8. what were y'all saying about Jung's defense?
  9. Outro music was Paranoid and first commercial after break had Crazy Train. Ozzy getting paid.
  10. well, it did. so I'm not gonna worry about something that didn't happen. get some fucking runs goddamnit!
  11. At least we're starting to get some calls that are slightly out of the strike zone.
  12. We can't expect to keep winning if our bats go completely silent once we go up three runs. It's like we think the other team is going to stop trying. We've gotten away with it so far, but it's gonna come back and bite us in the ass at some point. Hope this isn't it.
  13. I wonder if the next coach's agent will use Jimbo's contract as precedent and expect similar and ridiculous long-term high-dollar guarantees. "We know what the job pays. We expect the same thing."
  14. Never forget that Rivals had Bryce Foster as the number 15 overall player in his class.
  15. Brooks is a great college running back who isn’t elite in any single category. He’s not gonna get drafted before day 3. He may decide he wants a shot at making a roster and leaves early. It I would bet he comes back next year. He didn't elaborate. But X, JW, AD (could come back), and Neyor are gone, which leaves a lot to fill. Then again, WRs are not hard to find in the portal so I'm not concerned. AD is showing up on more 1st round mock drafts than X now. Both will be drafted in the first two rounds and maybe even both in the 1st. They’re gone after this year.
  16. That's because we have elite and/or entrenched senior starters already on the roster in Worthy, Mitchell, and Whittington. He's not gonna pull targets away from any of those dudes. And they're all gone after this year. So it will be Cook and bunch of unproven but talented dudes next year. There's opportunity for a true freshman to come in and make the kind of impact Worthy did a few seasons ago. You're right that we might be fine with a portal guy. But I never like a strategy of "it's fine to lose out on this elite player this year because we'll just get two elite players next year". I'd like to add an elite WR this year but probably not gonna happen if we don't get Wingo.
  17. It’s like none of you motherfuckers watched Breaking Bad
  18. I wanted to reimburse Felix for any vet bills he incurred clearing her and he said someone else covered it. You generous liar! But seriously, Felix is a great dude with a great family. They took this sweet girl in and cared for her when she needed it most. They gave her the love that she needed, spent money on a dog they knew wouldn’t be a permanent member of their family, and we were lucky to be the first people to respond to their post. Foster families embody the kind of “community above everything” spirit that, if we were all to embrace, would make the world a much better place. Good on you man. Happy to have met you under these great circumstances. Felix’s family named her Penny and it stuck. Penny is pooped. She is snoozing in Rocco’s bed. She will be moved to the crate here in a minute when I go to bed.
  19. Now that’s my kind of fusion. Love it. I made a burger.
  20. It’s a goddamn madhouse in here! Maximum play time
  21. Looks like he got processed out of the Oregon class and ended up signing with Texas Tech. He has one tackle in two years. So yeah, he hasn't done shit.
  22. She's coming home, y'all! My family was in the market for a lab puppy already. We have a 4 year old black lab named Rocco that we got through the Heart of Texas Lab Rescue (HIGHLY recommended, btw), and had already setup an appointment for early November to meet some black or yellow lab puppies with them. I clicked on the banner ad today and saw that a fellow poster who lived 15 minutes away had a yellow lab puppy that needed a home. That felt like a sign. We're in the market for a yellow lab puppy, and there's a poster down the street who needs to find a home for one. It's all coming together. We brought the family and Rocco down to meet this sweet girl and after a few short minutes of trepidation, she happily sought out and accepted pets from each of the four humans in the family. Brought Rocco out of the car to meet his soon-to-be new sister and they got along great. Rocco is typically a VERY enthusiastic play partner, so I was a little concerned about him being too high-energy for a somewhat skittish girl. But he calibrated his energy levels so well with her that it all just felt like a great fit. Thanks so much to @Felix and his lovely wife for taking this sweet girl in, caring for her, and finding her a new home. Which will be our home. She's gonna miss the acre of land to run around on and will have to adjust to our much smaller backyard. But she will be loved. She comes home tomorrow and I will update with pictures. Unless the wimmens in Felix's family decide they can't part with her, which would be understandable.
  23. Also, is this a conversation pit for ants? Looks like a set for a Wes Anderson stop-motion film featuring anthropomorphic squirrels, mice, moles and other small rodents.
