Dak should be the #1 fantasy QB this year. Since our running game is going to average 2.5 ypc, he’ll be forced to throw it 50 times a game.

Baton Rouge is a 3rd world shithole but I’m pretty sure even they have video recording and playback technology.

Damn that's kind of sad actually. Pretty clear that TCU told him to GTFO because he couldn't keep his weight to something even remotely reasonable. Forget football, hope the dude can get it under control for his health.

Fucking hell, I figured there was no way the HISD takeover thing was real, but it is, and was easy to find: Fuuuuck that noise

There is a 100% chance that the $9.95ers will keep blowing smoke up our ass about Jamie Ffrench for the next couple of months. Then someone will post his commitment to tOSU tweet out of the blue on an otherwise slow Tuesday and we'll all be super shocked and mad at the $9.95ers for several days. We're good for at least one of those every cycle.

I don't think it's a "tremendous" leap at all. I think #1 overall is definitely projecting some growth for him in 2024, but IMO you don't have to squint your eyes too hard to see it. I think you're underrating him a bit as a Texas fan because we've watched every minute of the growing pains so far. Consider all the following data points: His arm talent is elite and always has been. He's young. This season will be essentially his true junior year. He turns 22 just a couple weeks before the 2025 draft. By the time of the draft, he will have 30+ starts against high level competition. Sark and Milwee have a documented history of developing QBs. He more than held his own against top competition as a true sophomore last year. Quinn's 2023 COMP%, Y/A, and QBR (69.0, 8.8, 158.6) are a close match to Michael Penix's (65.4, 8.8, 157.1). As you know, Penix was just drafted 8th overall, has a very concerning injury history, and is 45 years old. A QB has gone first overall in 7 out of the last 10 drafts. The only years they haven't are in major down years for QBs and an elite talent at EDGE goes #1: 2014: Blake Bortles 3rd overall, Jadeveon Clowney 1st 2017: Mitchell Trubisky 2nd, Myles Garrett 1st 2022: Kenny Pickett 20th, Travon Walker 1st Modest growth over his 2023 performance would put his numbers right in line with recent top picks at QB. If he does that, stays healthy, plays well in some big games, and has a good pro day, he'll absolutely be right there in the conversation for 1.1. As we sit right now in April 2024, I'd probably handicap the odds like 1. Beck, 2. Ewers, 3. everyone else.

Honestly I don't know if it's worth their time, especially if they're going to be in a touristy area. A lot of what you see in Mexico is the typical Herradura, Jimador, Patron, etc stuff that you can get anywhere here. Similar prices, too. Maybe if they were going to Jalisco or something I could see it. I just passed through the Cancun airport recently. It has a giant "duty free" area with a big selection, but again it's mostly just common stuff at mediocre prices with pushy salesmen. The most interesting thing they had was 2x 1L bottles of Ocho reposado for $135. If you do the math that's a pretty good price per mL, but not smoking hot or anything. The guys there pushed me toward two different things they said were "only sold in Mexico" - 1921 and Revolucion. Revolucion in particular seems like it might be interesting, given its NOM (1123), which makes a lot of high quality stuff. The NOM for 1921 is less interesting, it looks like a contract distillery that just makes a bunch of random unremarkable stuff. I don't remember the exact prices but they didn't seem like a bargain compared to the price for quality stuff here.

Terry Bussey as a "generational talent" is a new one for me. Nice prospect, sure. Guy I'd be happy to have on our roster, sure. But by that logic the state of Texas is producing like 5 "generational talents" per year, which feels like it doesn't quite add up.

Maybe it's $3mm annually but prorated to 1 day so he can retire as a Cowboy. Jerry wrote him a check for $8k and Zeke's agent ran with "$3 million contract!".

There were a ton of RBs taken between their 3rd and 5th round picks. Guessing they liked one or more of those guys and when they were taken they just said fuck it. I remain skeptical of the claim that you can just grab practice squad-level bodies and cobble together a decent running game. The Cowboys seem determined to test that theory for a second year in a row and I expect the same results.

9: Ewers, Blue, Bond, Banks, Sorrell, Collins, Moore, Barron, Mukuba No idea on Savea. I could see Campbell and/or Williams having a good year and going early. Suppose it’s possible that Moore returns (he’s won’t be a high pick even if productive because of size). I’ll set the O/U at 10.5 and take the under.

They are counting Rink as a head to head win. I think we would have taken Jonte Newman’s commitment right now. Those are the only two they have that we had any connection to.

Would love for AD to go for about 1200 yards next year. Fuck the haters.

His tape is good. He’s a mean motherfucker.

DBs with a pulse?

“My fault I was trippin” is pretty funny tbh

Is Tacario Davis even in the portal? Just some quick Googling brings up articles about him still being with Arizona this spring.

No they're going to use Connor Stroh like Keilan.

Disney will kidnap those motherfuckers and chain them to their desks if necessary. There’s no way they’ll let it end without wringing every last penny out first.

Had that thought, too. We could either do full length like your picture or even just little short ones (might look weird? Question for the wife.). With a 13 foot span I'd probably have to support them in the middle. Other thought I had was some sort of hanging (fake?) plant situation. Also, the little hand in your screenshot is fucking me up. I was like why won't my mouse move??

We have an outdoor patio. This picture is facing approximately west, so we get a couple hours in the afternoon/evening when the sun is blazing between the roof and the fence. Would like to buy some shades. I was thinking the roll type, but I’m having trouble sourcing some wide enough. The distance between posts is about 13 feet. Only need them to be about 2-3 feet long. What other options are there that I should look at?

What's the website that will run comps, etc for you for a fixed fee. I hate asking my realtor friends to do me a favor. I know someone has posted it here before.

We'll be in a very interesting position for 2026 if Arch plays well and leaves after '25. The options would be inexperienced RS-SO Owens, RS-FR Lacey, and a true freshman. Wouldn't surprise me to see us go out and get a 1-year portal rental for that year unless Owens or Lacey are well ahead of schedule. A program like Texas will be expected to reload every year in the NIL/portal era. Sark isn't going to waste a year with an underdeveloped QB throwing to the likes of Ryan Wingo and (fingers crossed) Dakorien Moore. I don't think Owens will or should worry Lacey. That's about as clear a path as he'll get at any major program.

I think Charley Crockett is fucking great, and I'm not really a country music aficionado. Related? I dunno. I don't see how anyone could listen to Just a Clown and not get a smile on their face. He writes some great songs, IMO. I do agree that he kind of comes across as playing a character and it can occasionally veer towards inauthenticity (is that a word?). Playing it up too much about being related to Davey Crockett, etc.
