Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Handjob Helobious Is the Man!
PTINS replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I might be smarter now than I was this morning. I’m old, and I spent my career in O&G, and I only heard of one definition of glory hole until just now. I’m familiar with the “rat hole” in conventional drilling, and I know something about onshore and offshore GOM and North Sea exploration and production, but not in the arctic. Perhaps the migration of aggies to the O&G industry has imparted their behaviors into ways they we have not realized. Not sure where Jerrah was exposed to arctic drilling; must of got his influences else where. Now that might be my new most favorite thing I’ve read here. Maybe anywhere. I read it, so it must be true. It is especially comforting in the context that Hero’s recruiting was not NIL driven due to the fact he is not from the US. I agree. I grew up in Austin in the late 60’s, was a senior with Earl in ‘77, and enjoyed VY’s greatness since his sophomore year, in HS. The vibe in Austin is somewhat muted by the million people that came here and never left. But to Texas fans, the vibe now is very similar to those past periods of unbridled burnt orange Kool-Aid. Similar, but different. This won’t change by one player leaving. A lot of data points that keep coming. Even from a $9.95’er. One I like, is All-American DB, Michael Taaffe, coming back for his senior year, to finish. That’s a leader. Hook’em! Kudo’s to Helobious! His posts earned him a place as the chosen one, he embraced it, and by gawd damn if he didn’t deliver for us. This was worse than Billy Sims or Marcus Dupree. I will never forget the shit with Kelee Ringo. Sark getting ready to steal their lunch money in recruiting. -

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

Matthews, Munchak, Steinkulher and Dawson all played for the Oilers/Texans. M&M played together ~ 10 years and were some road grading MF'ers. Elkins HS is in Fort Bend ISD, in Missouri City, SW of Houston. A number of Oiler players lived down that way. Matthews looked at the coaching at Texas, ... and sent his kids to A&M. -

I agree, 250 lb is probably better for a goalie. Akeem's transition to American sports turned out okay. -

Yeah, I would be extremely cautious about correlating pictures of fireballs to damages to the refinery itself. Sending a ship to the bottom of the sea is much easier to conform than discreet damages to an intricate maze of hundreds of pipelines and manifolds, process units, storage vessels, heaters &coolers, etc. First, damn near everything in an oil refinery is flammable, and will make big fireballs. From the pictures and video’s taken at night it is impossible to tell what is burning. Big difference between process towers rupturing and burning as compared to a storage tank or pipeline. A world class refinery may have 30-50 different process units located across a 2-4 square mile area. Hitting the biggest one may take out the majority of the processing capacity, while hitting a smaller one may have a negligible effect. Without a very clear understanding of what was hit and is burning, it is extremely difficult to tell from a picture. Full disclosure, I am a gas processing/natural gas liquids SME, not a refining guy. If one had a detailed plot plan overlaid with the explosions and fires, it would be easier to tell what was damaged. I don’t think I have seen any posting or discussion with that level of detail. I don’t doubt that information exists, but it isn’t in the public domain. However, like body blows to a boxer, the cumulative effects of multiple attacks and explosions and fires decreases the overall capacity and efficiency of the facility. Chicks dig the long ball everybody likes explosions and fireballs.

That's a serious man throwing up a serious Hook 'em! -
Great to see you guys again!!! Going days without new info has been an unpleasant withdrawal. I’m liking the more frequent strikes on the refineries, air bases, oil depots, and weapons plants. The cumulative impact of these random strikes over the years has to be getting to the point that repairs/replacement of the facilities, along with sanctions on materials, are making those repairs less frequent and less effective. Still, too little, too late. Maybe. No CR, but anything said by anybody 3 years ago has no bearing on what happens tomorrow. I’m choosing to read the tea leaves I like. Rubio was only a mouthpiece, but I really liked the way he delivered the US intelligence briefings leading up to the invasion. I’m betting he has as good an understanding on Ukraine and Russia as anybody, and his understanding has influence within the new administration. A few things that have transpired since Trump 1.0. Russia went from the 2nd Army of the world with a thumb on the scale to a sawed off thug with a bunch of natural resources, and nukes. And the Tech companies went from the scourge of society to the choice seats at the inauguration of Trump 2.0. Trump has the company of the really smart guys, and they may be a bunch of dickheads, but they are really smart. They also make, and have, a lot of money, which drives the economy. That train keeps moving down the tracks until a bigger shooting war derails it. We’ve seen more pictures of more nations with war ships than any time in my life. There’s a lot of shit bubbling up in every corner of the globe. A fucking Russian spy ship cruising in the English Channel, with a sneak and peak from a UK nuclear submarine? The EU stated they would pay the US for the US weapons Ukraine needs. That’s a big win-win. The US doesn’t need “Drill, baby drill”, but Europe certainly does. That works too. Reaching out to the Saudi’s is out of the Reagan playbook. All gas, Fuck them brakes. Most people acknowledge that Trump 1.0 was right; Europe needs to be able to take care of themselves. Don’t pull the chair out from under them. Deposit their checks and give them the “Made in America” things they want. Coupling a ramped up defense industry and a boost to the O&G sector with an already strong economy would appear to be a no brainer. Right now the world is waiting to see what the US (Trump 2.0) does. Crawling back to our little sand box doesn’t look like the right choice. Here’s to hoping he chooses wisely.
