  1. After I graduated from my venerable Benjamin 347 pump I picked up a Beeman R7 spring piston rifle at McBrides. The spring piston is superior in just about every way - noticeably because there's no pumping (#yourmom) or bleed off of compressed air over time. I toted that Beeman for the better part of a decade as a "yute" and killed everything Texas has to offer short of deer/pigs. Ducks, quail, rabbits, snakes, lizards, doves, skunks, turtles, frogs, etc. It was smooth and dependable and I never had any issues with the recoil at all. Now that you mention it, I can't remember any recoil issues at all? Maybe the new ones are different, but my dad still has it up in WA state to this day almost 40 years later to thwart the random squirrel/rabbit messing with his garden. Same gun. Zero mods. Four decades later. He's older, so cocking the barrel down is more of a chore, but he's also 80+.
  2. I'm still waiting on my flying car.... We'll see massive initial leaps in efficiency. Paper pushers. Compilers. Researchers. Analysts. Reporting. Forms and filings. All that shit becomes instantaneous. At the end of the day, you're either on the credit or debit side of the balance sheet. And for most that are on the debit side, what real value or savings is being realized by your work? For many it's substantial, but not all.
  3. Depending upon the velocities, they are every bit as accurate as a .22lr up to 100yds. Just get the ones < 1,000fps or physics comes into play (exceeding the sound barrier - noise, etc.)
  4. I'm old enough to remember the "internet" hysteria. It was going to end tens of millions of jobs. Conversely it created hundreds of millions over the decades. Altman is correct in that many jobs are duplicative and unnecessary. AI is going to end some of these. I'm sure there were thousands of farriers that were not super happy with the advent of the automobile. I remember as a kid the "Britannica" guy who sold us our first set. Overall, it's transformative process. Not outright elimination.
  5. It is when you have no other real football traditions.
  6. It worked so well because Sark kept him in the pocket, trying to facilitate long-developing pass plays. Then on designed runs, they seemed to be delayed draws up the middle and into the teeth of the Dline.
  7. Hey, they did invent class rings and a vehement no grass walking policies...
  8. Look at the aggy/AR game. AR line would break down, and their QB would flush the pocket over and over. Keeping Arch in the pocket behind this shittastic line is criminal in it's own right. He also plays better when improvising. He doesn't need to gain 10+yds every carry. But 4-5 at a clip moves the chains and keeps the defense honest.
  9. Just bring in the NFL refs for playoffs and conference games, then trickle down into the regular season and phase these conference cunts out completely. They're captured by big money conference shenanigans. Funny how the fuckery only goes one way - to support and prop up higher ranked teams trying to get a payoff spot. there's too much money at stake for conferences not to put their thumb on games.
  10. They almost all are. HC's are like CEO's and think they know best - hence their paycheck and station at top schools.
  11. Do cookies count?
  12. If they wanted to get it to stop, they'd make Elko walk up a flight of stairs with no assistance....
  13. Bum jizz
  14. He wanted Hitler to invade?
  15. If you have the cheddar, but no seems a solution in search of a problem.
  16. Or get Arch out of the pocket and let him "Sam" things up and get 4-5 yards. These designed runs up the middle with a line that CAN'T FUCKING BLOCK is as maddening at the Ewers self-sacks (which it basically is)
  17. Sark's admittedly stated over and over his offense is predicated on the ability to run the ball and execute the PA pass. Fine. But he can't run the damn ball, the PA is worthless, so it's all on Arch to try and make things happen. Vince in his real year at the reigns had almost 3,600 yds on the ground to help (much of it him) Colt had 2100 and then 2700 yds on the ground to take pressure off him his first two years The only real comparison is the shitty 2017 season with young Sam who only had 1800 rushing yards & 1900 passing and the team went 7-6. Difference is attempts. 500+ to half that and we're more than halfway through the season and facing the meat of the schedule.
  18. 2004: Vince 1,800+ passing yards, Benson 1,800 rushing yards/Vince 1070 - 615 total attempts (3590 total rushing yds) 2006: Colt 2,500 passing yards, Charles 830 rushing yards - 483 attempts (2114 total) 2007: Colt 3300 passing yds, Charles 1600 rushing yards - 539 attempts (2700 total) 2017: Sam 1900 passing yards and 385 rushing - 507 attempts (1800 total) 2018: Sam 3200 passing yards, Watson 780 rushing - 569 attempts (2100) 2019: Sam 3600 passing yards, Ingram 850 rushing - 480 attempts (2300) 2020: Sam 2500 passing, Bijan 700 rushing - 370 attempts (1950) So far this year: Arch: 1440 passing, Wisner 222 rushing (Arch 193) - total of 255 rushing attempts (1046)
  19. He needs a running game more than anything else to take some of the pressure off him. I'm no apologist, but he's throwing the ball so damn much because they are no other options.
