  1. I keep seeing this thread pop up and think he must be doing something to help Kerrville: a fundraiser, activating that famous Aggie network, or a least a tweet of acknowledgement. Nope, nothing. I guess between his golf schedule and whatever bender cycle he’s on there is just no time to engage with tragedy in the town he played HS football
  2. Did that fucking prick really use the word “disaster” to describe a fucking press conference
  3. It’s my older daughter’s birthday today. She’s 8, right about the same age as the girls in the Bubble Inn cabin at Camp Mystic. It’s got me all kinds of fucked up. Last night she was happily singing Taylor Swift and bouncing around the house and I kind of lost it and had to leave the room. I’m honestly not sure why I’m posting this. People all over this state are hurting bad today, including in my community. I’m going to celebrate my little girl and try to appreciate every second but it’s killing me thinking about what those other families are going through.
  4. Not for nothing, but it’s fine for you to just not post anything when you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.
  5. Yeah. More guaranteed money for Kyrie as he comes of an injury and opens up some money to play with in the short term for the Mavs
  6. Howell is right, they’ll do just fine in-state. If the recruiting class was a regular season record, think of it like, I don’t know, an 8-4 season.
  7. Don’t downplay it, they beat out several middle of the road Big12 programs for him
  8. I like the guy who is implying that Texas football being preseason #1 is actually bad for us and using Aggie Baseball as the example. That’s the galaxy brain ag shit that keeps me coming back
  9. Weird considering he gave up 1 touchdown and just over 200 yards for the entire year. I'm sure you're right, though.
  10. I mean, this is just wrong. He graded out at 90.3 with PFF, 3rd highest for a CB (Jahdae was first at 90.9). Tied for 9th in passer rating allowed, 4th for INTs. Passed the eye test with some awesome plays and did it all while basically only coming off of the field for special teams. Colorado and Deion are annoying but Hunter was pretty great on both sides of the ball.
  11. Neil Diamond in the red shirt. Neil Young in the white next to Joni.
  12. I'm honestly trying to follow what you are saying here, but I'm at a loss. What about this music/performance is hitting you as limp and passive exactly? You may think it sucks or isn't what you respond to in music, but that just feels like a bizarre way to describe it.
  13. He's the one Who likes all our pretty songs And he likes to sing along And he likes to shoot his gun But he don't know what it means You're right I didn't, I was like 7 when Kurt died. I've seen Modest Mouse live lots of times though and I wouldn't consider them limp, passive, or wimpy either. I'm not a Nirvana hater by any means, I was just using G650's framing. It seems like he was identifying when popular rock bands started being more openly disaffected and vulnerable. If that shift did happen, it had to have started when Nirvana was the biggest band in the world in the early 90s, well before the time period he was identifying.
  14. I'm trying not to take the bait with the generational culture war part of this post, but taking your premise at face value, wouldn't Nirvana be the first big band that was "arresting in their wimpiness"?
  15. Take it FWIW, but as a data point for who has the “biggest song” and more relevance to the current landscape, the Killers most played song on Spotify has over 1 billion more streams than the Foo’s. And over 6 million more monthly listeners.
  16. I’m just waiting for someone to respond to him: “Asian? I thought you were Indian”
  17. Hahahahahahahaha
  18. This seems to be the consensus I’m reading. I read somebody call him the most “complete prospect” in a generation, because his offensive game is much more refined at this point than Wemby’s and he’s a good defender, especially as a help side guy. Wemby has a higher ceiling, mainly because he has a higher ceiling than everyone. Another thing to consider with Flagg is he just turned 18, he reclassified to go to Duke a year early. Which makes him holding his own last summer in workouts with the men’s national team even more impressive, he was a 17 year old kid.
  19. Yeah, that would make sense for everyone
  20. Not sure if that logic tracks, if he opts in he rehabs for most of next season making $44 million dollars. How many franchises are going to pay a 33 year old guard anywhere near that to not play next season? I understand opting out gives him the opportunity to get those guaranteed years on the back end at a big number, but I just don’t think the market is going to be there for him to turn down the $44 mil. Probably makes more sense to opt in, take his time with his rehab, and be healthy enough to secure one last big contract with his play next year once he returns
  21. They can’t contend right now without some kind of creator until Kyrie gets back, assuming we even see him next year and he’s the same. Front court is pretty loaded now though so there is certainly a move or two to be made
