  1. Will be interested to see what this contract looks like but I like it in theory
  2. It would be a surprise announcement if somebody pops today right? I didn’t think we had anyone notable with a scheduled commitment until tomorrow.
  3. This has nothing to do with anything really, but he can also fuck right off for giving us a 5th seed in his hypothetical 12 team 2008 playoff.
  4. Swoopes ended up being an NFL TE so if we hadn’t wasted everyone’s time pretending he could be a college QB he probably would have ended up being a pretty damn good athlete take as well.
  5. Ah, fair enough, I was looking at his weighted On3 average. On3 is just a Sip propaganda site though, so it doesn’t count.
  6. Uh, which service has him as a top 25 overall player exactly?
  7. Idk, Love Gun makes a pretty solid point. Why didn’t we have any OL drafted last year? I mean sure, we are returning every starter. But are we sure Flood is good?
  8. It’s rattling around my head somewhere but I can’t remember. Who was the original Texas destructive back? Rufus something?
  9. I have to say, this thread is about as fun as a discussion of 5 people dying a horrific death can get. Let’s do it again, same time next year?
  10. Possibly. Maybe you could squeeze in the best QB of his generation in between Fehoko and Jack Smith
  11. I’ve been thinking a lot about McMurtry over the last few days. Lost them both within about two years of each other. Their prose was so different from one another even when to subjects somewhat overlapped. Neither seemed to have much time or patience for the NY literary scene though. I believe they both skipped their Pulitzer ceremony.
  12. Is a large part of an artist’s legacy whether their art can be considered “helpful”? What does helpful art look like? I’d argue that the kind of person that picks up and gets through a McCarthy novel is a relatively thoughtful person that gets a lot out of his unique depictions of violence and morality, whether it aligns with their worldview or not. Your are editorializing calling it “gratuitous”, especially never having read anything he wrote. I totally get it if you personally don’t like art that focuses on the themes that his books focus on, but to assume they must be a net negative to society at large because you don’t get anything out of it seems pretty reductive.
  13. He never really lost his fastball either, I thought the Passenger was really good. There are passages in a few of his books that I think about constantly and have marked in my paperbacks so I can go back to them quickly. Damn. RIP to a legend.
  14. Aaron Rodgers, Purdy, and Cousins all led their schools to the most successful seasons at their respective schools in recent memory. I think they would be considered big winners relative to the colleges they attended.
  15. “You can say Lane has beaten A&M two years in a row” - Looch Yeah…I guess you could say that. What a concession. Can’t call him a homer, he really just calls it like he sees it.
  16. Damn. I just saw him in RRR and didn’t even recognize it was him until after the movie. Seemed like he aged a lot in the last 5 years or so.
  17. I’ve got a friend who seriously hates Ryan Fitzpatrick to this day because he says he had an offer to go play qb at Harvard until Fitz swooped in and took his spot. He ended up playing for Claremont McKenna. CSB postscript, his little brother is famous 5-star bust Max Browne.
  18. The Ags have been in the SEC for a decade, and UT still has more wins over Georgia in that span
  19. Assuming we’re talking about Sean Weatherspoon, his college fb career ended 14 years ago. Christ, why does ever single thing have to remind me that I’m old.
  20. That or he’s putting together a very competitive Mountain West squad.
  21. Yeah, this idea has been what the show was about since the very beginning. It’s literalized in the opening credits for fucks sake. Ted Lasso (the show) is a lot of things, but subtle has never been one of them. That said, the balance has been off for a while now. I don’t think season one is quite the magical diamond of a tv season that Derka does, but it was much more effective than the last two seasons IMO.
