  1. Meet one of the AVPs that works for in my group to go on a sales call yesterday. Immediately after shaking my hand upon first seeing him he proceeds to tell me that he thinks he is getting sick.

    Fucker. Now I feel like I am catching something. WTF.

    Isn't Starkel the one who TURNED DOWN YALE to go to College Station?

    I said it at the time (if he's the one) that he was a total fucking idiot for doing that, because being a QB at Yale would change the trajectory of the rest of his life, but sitting on the bench in College Station wouldn't do anything for him.

    Maybe he can get into Yale's School of Forestry and play a couple of years... but I don't know if that Forestry Degree will get him in with the same Alumni Network.

    Would he be able to transfer any credits from sheep school to Yale?

    Well, now, wait a minute. Who is more responsible the manufacture engaged in a fraudulent marketing campaign or the individual prescribers?  Certainly there were individual prescribers who put money ahead of  patient welfare, but the problem is really much more widespread than that.

    I think entire supply chain is. Purdue pharma, their shill doctors, the regular doctors and pharmacists who completely overprescribed the pills etc

    hindsight is 20/20.  there’s probably an element of greed but the shit was made for cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers.  they didn’t huddle up and say “how can we destroy lives while getting filthy rich in the process?”

    They absolutely did this. They turned a full blown marketing engine on in and skewed results around addiction, paid off doctors etc to drive the hell out of sales.

    This group of people, the doctors and pharmacists who CLEARLY were over prescribing pills etc etc should all see jail time.

  5. I’m a sucker for cooking shows. Netflix has one called “The final table”

    premise is 12 two person teams that each week cook a specific country’s national dish as picked out by a guest panel from that country which typically include a top flight food critic. 

    The bottom three teams each week cook for one of the top chefs from that country (Top 50 restaurants in world type chefs) with losing team being eliminated  

    In the finals the last two teams then break up and each of the four remaining chefs cook against one another. 

    There’s no cash prize or trophy just a bunch of really talented chefs trying to beat each other.

    Not sure what you've been reading. I haven't see too many people pounding their chests about where we are and that we're going to win the NC in 2019.

    I'd say we are a solid top 15 team right now, with an opportunity to become a solid top 10 or even top 5 team this year. Our recruiting has been good but still with room to improve moving forward. Our toughness has greatly increased since the boys whimpered off the field in Lawrence in 2016.

    Where we are reminds me of maybe 2002 under Mack. We've moved ourselves into the neighborhood again, now it's time to take the next step. I wouldn't go so far as to say "We're back!," but it's nice to have a QB who is a leader of men and who has confidence in himself and his teammates. That's the culture that Herman has been trying to build, and it seems like a pretty strong foundation to me.

    We are in violent agreement that there’s a solid foundation and that team is moving in right direction. Get to 10+ wins 2 yrs in a row, best LSU and OU this upcoming season and win NY6 bowl I think team can say they’re back.

    Look at the 2018 class.  Herman was able to RS both QBs, all the OL and (I think) 2 DL.  The true frosh DL that played in the Sugar made some solid contributions.  Ossai was a monster.  Coburn was more than solid.  Ojomo got some quality snaps to spell the big guys inside.  Outside the lines, freshmen made big marks at RB and DB.  2017 class produced a number of good players despite the unusually low ranking and small class size (17).  That gave us Sam, Cosmi, Kerstetter, Ta'Quon Graham, Gary Johnson and Josh Thompson as well as Brewer and Leitao - one of which will likely start at TE next year.  Pretty good hit rate (40%) from class that wasn't ranked high.  Talent identification, recruiting and development are not really on my list of concerns.

    The staff embarrassed a solid UGa staff that had more talent to work with.  The same could be said for OU also.  It would be difficult for me to call that a weak staff.

    I guess I’m looking at losses at major RB recruits, losses at OL\DL. Leitao hasn’t shown anything to date (hope he does). 

    I’m just saying Texas isn’t at what I would call “back” level yet. Also I think the Texas staff has a lot of “minus” recruiters to make up for. Also losing to WVU,OSU lots of 4th qtr collapses isn’t “back”

    moving in right direction I just think people are potentially over-stating where Texas is today.

    Only time will tell whether Monday night was a mutual watershed event like the 2010 BCS Rose Bowl.    Who could have seen that coming?  Texas was two Shipley catches away from tying up that game, whereas Bama was moidalized by Clemson.

    Bama may bounce right back.  Or not.  It's taken until this season, but Texas is definitely back.  

    Based on the last three games' seive defense and the exodus of coaches and players since, the Alabama mojo has taken a big hit.  Well, bad shit happens when you lose after being outplayed, outprepared and outcoached.  

    We'll know about six or eight games into the fall if the downhill flow has been checked.  I'm just going to enjoy watching the pageantry and crazy bullshit of another season and not worry.  If Bama never wins another title with Nick, so be it.  I wouldn't bet against it.  

    BTW, this is a fine board and you are all sick snd twisted little monkeys.

    I don’t know that I agree Texas is back. Recruiting is as uncertain as ever with significant misses on DL/OL and regular hard recruiting battles vs Bama just reload etc. 

    i think coaching staff is still weak (Meh/Ware) and that while Texas gets up for big games, consecutive losses to Maryland still indicate potential issues. 

    The Georgia win is great and I hope that it is a great springboard to being back but I’m not sure Texas truly is yet.
