  1. Idk if you're in East Austin but there's a shitload of them all in the neighborhood. They used to freak me out a bit because I occasionally run through the neighborhood, and a little doubt would cross my mind that they'd stop to let me cross or get too close to me to pass me if I'm on the road, but they've been fine. Still kinda freak me out because they park behind the cemetery that's across MLK from Disch-Falk and just wait there often. On 14th st.
  2. Vassell in his 5th year seems like he won't reach the player Fox is now, and Fox only just turned 27. I'm on board. I've been hoping he would become a true #2 option for Wemby, but fuck 5 years is a long sample size to prove it and he just isn't there. Honestly I wouldn't even be too mad to see Castle go either. The chances he develops into an all-star and/or NBA leader in steals? Can't be that high. I know he has tons of potential, but it's going to take more than that for him to become the #2 that Fox can be for us right now. If they still leave us room to build with our picks, go get him FO.
  3. The "private workforce situation" that just gobbled up our government, is absolutely salivating at the idea of workers leaving stable Government jobs. No reason in particular. They just really need the help! I'm sure everyone will be paid handsomely and the benefits will remain lucrative and bountiful! The corporations make money, and it trickles down to the employees! Like water from Oregon to California! I, personally, cannot wait for our new capitalistic overlords to share their wealth!
  4. Just sitting here listening to AOC's last IG post to talk about week 1 of the new admin and what's going on. Clearly/explicitly, in laymen's terms, and discussing what the implications for these EO's are and what we should do. Explaining how the oligarchy is upon us and who is involved. But we live in a country that doesn't want to listen to an educated woman. Especially a 30-something Latina from a working-class background. Because it makes them feel insecure that they aren't nearly as intelligent as her. They want to listen to billionaires who have spent their entire lives enriching themselves, like their daddies before them did, and convince themselves that they are on the people's side. I'm not sure where I'm going with this other than realizing that some people are saying things, but they might seem "maddeningly" silent because they are being silenced. The media is complicit. This is aside from the fact that people were told BEFORE the election exactly what would happen, and frankly, too many people didn't give one shit. What is more noise going to do? The tree is falling in the forest.
  5. I just thought of this. I don't work in financial aid but a student just told me yesterday she just got her financial aid cleared and she was hoping it would get disbursed before tomorrow's tuition deadline. I told her to contact the accounting office/accounts payable to tell them that FinAid is coming, and most likely it will be fine.................................. That answer just got a bit more complicated if she relies on a Pell Grant.
  6. Nobody gives a shit, in part because it's bleak af and easy to take the pessimistic view that whats going to happen is going to happen. I think I'm there. But also, because what hill are they supposed to stand on to get that message out, exactly? Tweet it? Appear on another political talk show? The media is done for, they're complicit, the strings for Dems to pull to utilize media are quickly disappearing. They're as divided as the people are, the message rings hollow because of it.
  7. This right here is the bullshit some of us have a problem with. To adorn your King with credit like he wasn't surrounded by NFL talent that we hadn't seen in the 15 years prior. We were in the fucking desert, that's the constant. A constant lack of elite talent recruited or developed. Between 2012 (the first year after our NC loss) and Quinn's first year, we had 5 players taken in Rounds 1 or 2 of the NFL draft. In a fucking decade. Quinn's junior year had 5 go in the top 2 rounds. It appears that this year we'll have another 3-4. We were in the fucking desert. Sark is the constant. Talent is the constant.
  8. Sochan with 9 boards in 18 minutes certainly helped one of this team's glaring weaknesses. He and Wemby looked like they missed tf out of each other.
  9. He's monotone as fuck, which makes the mix come out weird as hell, he's not quite riding the beat either. He sounds like he's done it before, but not very good and not very long. He'd be a run of the mill performer at a typical SXSW open mic hip hop night, but, they don't have the brand he does. So I'm sure he'll get plenty of streams.
  10. "inability to adjust well" is such coded nonsense. He's been there two weeks, he has hardly gotten started adjusting. If it's something personal and not football related, just say he's stepping away. Then again these twitter accounts aren't actual reporters, so they can say whatever tf they want I guess. Technically Johntay also suffered from "an inability to adjust well" after 48 hours in Seattle. That's one way to frame it.
  11. I'm back on the bus. Took a year off out of frustration of watching Wolff, stars that seem like they don't care, a lot of lackadaisical play.... But if the FO cares enough to spend this much, I'll be back in.
  12. Jimmy Carter did what? Helped the poors? Kiss my ass, did he raise shareholder value and ensure corporate profits? Who gives a shit. Raise the flags for Dear Leader.
  13. Fucking thank you. The results of Sark's program turnaround can be studied on other threads on this board. You know, the ones where we discuss how many NFL players were going to have drafted over the past 2 years compared to the dearth of NFL talent we had with the last 2 coaches. But Quinn's fans are trying hard to write his legacy in stone. "The one who led us back to national prominence." Carried us. Willed us....... Nah. He'll be placed right where he belongs to me. Not close to VY or Colt, but battling somewhere between the 2nd tier of "Good" Longhorn quarterbacks. Not great.
  14. Just my 2 cents to throw into the void and hopefully never think about this game again: Sark blew our chances with that call. Absolutely. The offense pissed down its leg for an entire half once again, this defense carried the team all fucking night. Until..... 2 plays. The fucking screen, and the fucking 2-yard 4th down conversion. The pitch left will always be remembered by fans, but I'm not sure I'll ever forget 4th and 2 and Pete rolling with ONE defensive tackle, and WIDE OPEN A gap at the C/RG and only Morice Blackwell to protect it against a C, G and 230-lb Will Howard for about 10 yards of space. I have rarely seen that (NASCAR?) package all season, and as they trotted it out my head starting spinning immediately before the ball was snapped. You go three linemen when they only need 2 yards, and only one DT. From my vantage point in the corner of that endzone, the gap next to Broughton was fucking humongous, I couldn't believe it as the play started. Obviously they converted easily and should have had a touchdown. Maybe one of you knowledgable posters will do a deep dive and make me feel stupid for not understanding the package and intent, but at 4th and 2 I don't understand why you're not crowding the line of scrimmage and daring them to beat you deep. Give up a safety and go cover 1, but why tf would you not sell out on run and press the WRs? Take your chances with Howard beating you deep with pressure in his face. I just didn't understand it. Simmons was 1-on-1 with a guard and completely useless, Blackwell go swallowed up (Gbenda wasn't having enough of a game to be in I guess), Chip Kelly must have been salivating when he saw it. Obviously the toss is 10/10 on the WTF scale, but Pete's call there is 9/10. It came at an absolutely crucial time as we had all the momentum in the 2nd half and that's a fucking back-breaker if we stop them on 4th down there and FINALLY take the lead.
  15. Left an hour later than I wanted to buy I'm past Waco and ETA to tailgate is 2:45. Stress free drive and excited as shit. Roads are moving great.
  16. So he made a West Texas, 2024 "Killers of the Flower Moon". That would be hilarious if he rips that off.
  17. You mean Billy Bob's "oldest friend?" The one who a couple episodes ago was verbally raping him on the phone reminding him "who the boss is". Now that he's had a heart attack, they are actually truly buds in a chaotic west Texas setting. /s And why tf would the boyfriend say that to the girl he just banged. And how does he not know who the girl's mother is? Stupid ass shit. This show is so stupid................. yeah I'll be back next week. I got one more in me, fuck it.
  18. Castle has looked eerily similar to Pre-2024 Keldon for the past couple weeks. His shooting is abysmal and his drives seem only initiated to draw contact, with no real plan once he's in the paint. He started the year off much better but seems in a slump.
  19. Jokic ate Zach Collins alive last night. Save maybe 2 trips where Collins threw a punch back and scored using some nimbleness. I'm not scared of Jokic if Wemby is on him. I remember him blocking Jokic a few times last year too, and judging by that shitshow of a last shot, so does Joker. Wemby makes extraordinary players look mostly ordinary. While also hitting side-step threes and catching alleys off the backboard. It's just still insane and doesn't get tiring to marvel at.
  20. He's Peyton Hillis, but shorter and with a lot more visible CTE on the sidelines before he even gets into the league.
  21. He needed more urgency about getting 5-8 more yards there. Even giving up those 2 yards so Quinn could relocate the ball was stupid. That was not enough, and that "kicker range" line is fucking stupid if you've been watching this team and kicker all year.
  22. As soon as that play went play action I was PRAYING he didn't throw it deep. Throw a nice 7 yard route that you can. You've already under thrown 2 bad deep balls this game, WHY throw another? 3rd time's a charm.
  23. ESPN had a top 50 list of players in the playoffs last week. There were 6 QBs on it, and Quinn was not one of them. I'm not convinced on a couple of the guys like Allar, but Klubnik was definitely on it, and definitely played like he is who they say he is. And did it against the best defense in the country. What a long way from betting favorite to win the Heisman.
