  1. What do you mean "we?"
  2. This. The guy made the biggest mistake in college football history and....he's a sought after individual? What am I missing here? Is tOSU run by waterheads? Their program will spiral. They let A&M off the hook. I was waiting for his firing after the Jimbo debacle, but my thinking was, "They can't fire him. If they do they will have to admit that they made the biggest mistake in history and that they are a laughingstock. They never have, never will and simply cannot do that."
  3. You said rape twice.
  4. I also think how "good" a RB is depends a lot on how good the OL is. The all time rushing leader in NFL history, Emmitt Smith, benefitted hugely from having the best OL in the league year in and year out. I don't think he was the best pure running back to ever play. If you have a good run blocking OL you could put just about anyone back there and they could average 4 ypc.
  5. The RB's averaged 7.1 and 6.6 ypc in the bowl game. They didn't get a ton of carries because we were passing a lot.
  6. Based on gained experience, young guys slotting in and transfers, here is how I see the position groups comparing '23 to '24: QB - better; Ewers should benefit from another year in the system. Manning > Murphy as backup. RB - same; Brooks was better than expected, but Baxter and Blue looked good when he went down. No dropoff. WR - same; I thought losing Worthy and Mitchell would be the biggest hit along with DL, but now with Golden and Bond I see virtually no dropoff. OL - better; should be the strength of the team with much experience returning. TE - worse; losing JT hurts and no one clearly able to pick up his touches. Might be better as a run-blocking group though. DL - worse; losing Sweat and Murphy hurts. They were the strength of the team this year. Hard to replace two NFL guys. LB - worse; Ford was really good. Hard to replace. DE - same; Sorrell was really good, but I like the guys we have to replace him. DB - same; lots of attrition here, but also the ability to reload. We looked to be very thin at safety until we landed Mukuba. Barron coming back is huge. Overall, our offense should be the same or better. Our defense probably worse, especially at stopping the run. We will make the playoff and should do some damage. We have a team that is good enough to give us a chance to win it all if the cards fall right. Agree? Disagree? I'm a dumbfuck?
  7. Places not to put your dick.
  8. I try so hard not to be that dad. I hate clutter and storing junk. My grandfather lived through the depression and he saved fucking EVERYTHING. He would cut a hole out of 2 liter soda bottles and use them as containers for other bits of junk and shit he'd save. It was excessive and drove me crazy. My dad does the same thing, but to a lesser degree. I do agree it feels good to pull the exact right thing you need out of your junk stash, but the juice ain't worth the squeeze IMO. So I just have a little bit of the most useful junk saved.
  9. I've been trying to figure out the endgame of conference expansion. Eventually, will the SEC and Big Ten have all Power 5 teams in them? Would they usurp all power over the highest level of college football and replace the NCAA and College Football Playoff? All the money that currently goes to those entities and any other conference would go to them. Eventually, those two would merge to create a single entity controlling all of college football. It would be an evolution that would take years, but eventually they would have to legislate the two biggest things affecting college football right now - NIL and the transfer portal. It has to strike some balance between the players being compensated, having some freedom to move around, and some level of control over the money and movement at an institutional level so it's not the wild west and rampant with abuse. If I was suddenly appointed the czar of college football and could do whatever I wanted, I would institute pretty much exactly what Chip Kelly said. I think it gets there eventually on its own, albeit slowly. The reason it won't happen quickly is that you have all these different entities with power and money flowing to them who are resisting giving up that power and money. The bowls, the conferences, the individual universities. They are resisting change to what makes sense for everyone because it means they have to give up power and money.
  10. I worked at a car wash during high school and in a structural iron fab shop the summer after my senior year. The fab shop job wasn't that bad - learned a lot of cool shit. It was hard though. Convinced me of the value of a college education, that's for sure. The worst jobs I ever heard of personally were a turkey masturbator and a guy who was on a moving crew who worked as general labor. We were moving offices and I was there helping and directing traffic. We struck up a conversation and I asked him what was the worst assignment he ever got. He said the worst assignment ever was to excavate a broken sewer line that was coming out of a hospital. The city crews wouldn't do it. The turkey masturbator story was probably the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. It was on a turkey farm and they had to get sperm to inseminate the female turkeys.
  11. Is it possible to OD on aggy misery? Asking for a friend.
  12. Haha. They had a xenomorph butt plug. Awesome.
  13. Someone explain this to me. The bill is going to come due at some point, right?
  14. This is the correct answer.
  15. We officially have too much time on our hands.
  16. Agua Dulce, Yorktown and Kenedy too. Maybe Karnes City.
  17. I think I might get a job as a vendor at NRG and then just quiet quit before kickoff and watch the game.
  18. 1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. Texas 4. Alabama Four best teams.
  19. I'm not a clean freak, but I do much prefer cleanliness and order, for practical reasons. Filth is unhealthy and unsightly; clutter is also unsightly and makes it hard to find shit when you need it. Any space that I control - my closet, my workbench, the countertop in my bathroom - all well organized, clean and free of clutter. My wife, OTOH, is....not like me in this way. She doesn't mind clutter. Every space she controls is packed to the brim with trash and bullshit. Her countertop in the bathroom looks like a CVS after a tornado. Unfortunately, she also controls the kids' spaces so all of their shit is FUBAR. We have a mud room and each of the three of our kids have a cabinet, ostensibly for their essential school shit. You can't even open the fucking doors without papers and shit falling out. My wife's car looks like a homeless person stole it and lived in it for weeks. Bits of food and crumbs completely covering the floorboards, wrappers and trash literally everywhere. Glove box, console, cup holders all full of detritus among a few actually useful things that you'd never be able to find. My wife knows that all of this shit makes me ragey. I have tried telling her nicely that it really bothers me. I have tried telling her that her life would actually be better if she was more organized and cleaned shit up. I have tried being an asshole about it. I have brought it up in therapy. She does nothing. By this point, I am mostly resigned. I told my wife about a month ago that I wanted to get rid of a bunch of shit in anticipation of Christmas. The kids are going to get a bunch of new shit and there is hardly anywhere left to put anything because of my wife's lack of organizational skills. We went through all of their clothes a couple of weeks ago and filled up two garbage bags of stuff to give away. We put the bags in the hallway. I told her that I wanted to take them to Goodwill, like right then. She told me that she wanted to "go through it first." WTF? Didn't we just do that? Apparently there were some items she thought she could sell on FB marketplace or whatever. Fine, just please do it sooner rather than later. I also made it clear that over the Thanksgiving long weekend I wanted to clear some stuff out of the garage, including larger kids toys that I wanted to give away. She has a bunch of shit from her car - shopping bags, floor mats, mats that go under car seats we don't use anymore, yoga mats, - draped all over the toys the kids don't use anymore that I want to give away. I asked her to do something with that shit so that I could get the toys out. It was clearly a Step 1, Step 2 situation. Pan to Sunday, last day of the long weekend. The two garbage bags of clothes are still in the hallway, untouched. All of the shit in the garage - untouched. I did some things with the kids and then a few small projects around the house in the morning. Then I laid on the couch and watched some of the Texans' game and scrolled on my phone. It's late afternoon. My goal of having this shit gone by the end of the weekend has not been met. I waited long enough; I gave her plenty of time to do what she needed to do. So I told her that I was taking the clothes to Goodwill, throwing away all of the unused mats and shit in the garage and taking all of the toys to a friend who has a grandchild who can use them. Of course, she gets all pissed off at me for "being an asshole." She tells me she can't be comfortable or "feel safe" or "be herself" in our house. She also accused me of being "unproductive" because I laid on the couch for a couple of hours. She whirlwinded angrily for 15 minutes or so, put the bags of clothes by the front door that someone came and got and threw away all of the shit in the garage (including some actual useful shit that I fished out of the trash can). We haven't spoken since.
  20. Don't trade him. Get his value for next season while the window is more open than it will be the season after that. He will walk. It will hurt. Some dumb team is going to way overpay him. That won't be the Astros.
  21. Except current rankings, but point taken. Washington beating Oregon would not be chalk.
  22. True. I don't look at the lines because those are not dictated by the logic of who is favored to win, but by the movement of money bet on one team or the other.
