  1. It's not possible to simulate big game environments with a hostile opponent, on the road, in practice. Casey has maturity and composure, stuff that doesn't show up as well in practice. Card's just not there yet. Kinda like going from the driving range to the golf course. I hit it so well on the range...what the fuck happened?
  2. I watched the Midland Legacy vs Amarillo Tascosa game. I couldn't figure out why Tascosa didn't use Everhart more. Every time he touched the ball he looked like he could score. He had 4 rushes for 80 yards and 5 receptions for 92 yards, with 1 receiving and 1 rushing TD. Pretty efficient.
  3. Glad to be wrong on this one. Bad read. I thought there was some frustration coming from his side when there were a lot of picks coming in for Texas.
  4. I mean, isn't this a pretty big give away. Unless he's trolling, which he doesn't seem like the type.
  5. I don't know what the deal is with Collins but I hope he plays more this season. His lack of playing time was the biggest head scratcher for me, assuming there isn't something going on with him that hasn't been released. Jett was having a tough time holding the edge and was being handled fairly easily by whomever was blocking him.
  6. Tree has a good setter. Our middles are confused and consistently late on the block.
  7. Struggling in the first with tree…can’t pass. Surprise!
  8. The ultimate for the beer snob/craft beer types to show up and flex. In a crowded, hot stadium I'm going to the shortest line for cooold beer.
  9. It makes sense to me that NIL is somehow perceived as a threat to fundraising at Belmont. I mean I get more request for donations from every aspect of the University than the guy standing on the corner holding his "will work for food" sign. Phone calls, mailings, emails, you name it. If feels like the University of Texas Soup Kitchen at times.
  10. I don't know much about Flood's coaching history other than he coached at Rutgers and at the Atlanta Falcons. Was he developing and getting lineman drafted at Rutgers? I know he is highly thought of and has a great reputation. But, he did have some very high quality talent to work with at Bama which can make you look pretty good. His and our other offensive coaching staff's rep is our best selling point to OL prospects at this point (oh, and SEC).
  11. Are you playing golf there? Pretty nice and fun course, just bring lots of golf balls.
  12. Agreed, too much over dramatization. They Cloak Roomed it up and took away from the basis for the series. Totally different feel to this season IMO.
  13. Anyone with Abilene roots probably either knew or knew of Merle Greathouse. He owned a drilling company, Wes-Tex Drilling, until his passing. I'm not sure how he is portrayed in the movie, but he was a really nice man. Csb...
  14. What a tragedy. Gosh, just can’t imagine what that family is going through... Prayers to the Ehlinger family.
  15. If Texas keeps playing this level of D and Jhenna can continue to spread the ball around we ain’t losing.
  16. Ahh yes, the deafening sound of whistles as you walk in the building of big club tournaments, especially Lonestar.
  17. I'm looking for the J&J in Midland County, which are very hard to find. This weeks allotment shows 1,100 J&J doses going to the Midland DSHS. So I call over there to inquire, but they act like they have no idea what I'm talking about. Best I got out of out of it was they are just a distribution center, but they don't know where the vaccines are going nor do they have them yet. Maybe they are distributing to the prisons in the area.
  18. They are overplaying the passing lane. Fuckin back door cut!
  19. I've read that people that have had COVID tend to have a strong reaction to the vaccine, even the first one. Some have said they felt as sick as when they contracted COVID but it just didn't last as long. I had COVID in mid-December so I am waiting until the end of March to think about getting vaccinated. Hopefully there will be more information about some of this stuff by then. I am seriously considering just getting one shot, depending on how I react to the first one.
  20. Yeah, high school coaches as a whole are a pretty flaky bunch. You talk to 50 of them and you can find any story you want to fit your narrative, or at least to give your readers some bullshit juicy tidbit. It sounds like for the most part they thought Herman was an asshat. As far as the rest of it regarding their opinions, fan fiction.
