  1. LETS GOOOOO VERRDEEEESSSS
  2. Anybody got a decent stream? No FS1 here, only espn. Can't find it on the tube on CW or Univision.
  3. Time to go buy some more pringles for my Giroud, Balotelli and Ozil jerseys.
  4. A french-speaking player to join Olivier Giroud on his way to Austin?
  5. Damn I think casa de tacos has been there forever. The only place my family frequents these days is El Dorado, because they got the carne guisada down and the flour tortillas are homemade and nice & dusty. Only been to Kingsville once in the past 5 years or so though, to lay an uncle to rest. It'll all be memories soon.
  6. Colombian-style chicharrones changed my world a bit. There's a little truck off East 6th (artessano) I ordered from regularly pre-covid.
  7. I was about to say, you can't make a list like that and not have El Pato on there. I still dream about that Chicken Guisada taco (and an order of nachos I think) during the year I lived in Edinburg in 2011. I'm one of those damn Tejanos everybody from other countries seems to misunderstand. Parents from South Texas, an abuela born in Shiner and another in Kingsville. We make up those words because we're only kinda Mexican, and (to some others) only kinda American. As I've grown older I think my dad's growing fascination with Mexico (Kingsville graduate, he served in AF during Vietnam) has rubbed off on me. Not til his 40s/50s did he really start to show an interest in Mexican music, soccer, novelas, w/e. Now I find myself an adult appreciating Mexico and other Latin countries a lot more for how we exist in the U.S. (at least for those of us not afraid of claiming it).
  8. Definitely seen this. He'll also see someone streaking down the side, look them off for other options, and then pass to them after the defense has caught up to them. It's so frustrating, but I'm pretty sure I've seen multiple players do this. It slows down the entire attack and is frustrating. We look most dangerous counter-attacking using speed down the sides, but Poche doesn't seem to value that option.
  9. The last run from Cecilio in the box (coming down the left flank) reminded me that there's a reason he started the season there. He and Manneh actually challenged defenders one on one out wide. I like Stroud and Gallagher, but they don't seem to add more than running really hard out wide. They don't have the confidence to challenge a defender head-on. I also said a few weeks ago Cecilio is better at doing what we are trying to get Pochettino to do, but I'm not sure who would play up top if you drop him to the midfield. That's the conundrum Wolff is in. If you send Cecilio back out wide we got nobody worth a shit to play 9, if you move him back then we still got nobody to play 9.
  10. Paid as a top 3 player on this team and doesn't play like one of our best 7 or 8.
  11. You can find them on SeatGeek's app. But if you join the group, you can get them for face value if anybody is selling through their Slack, so I've heard. The cheapest ticket for Sunday is $115 on SeatGeek, in the supporter's section.
  12. We look like SWAC hitters when they reach the regional tournament. This is garbage.
  13. Fuck this god-damned catcher for framing every fucking pitch, and fuck this shit ass ump for falling for it like a bitch.
  14. I was in 234 and loved how the Verdes sounded all game. The chants in person around town have sounded ok, but at the game it was like a heartbeat for the action. It was great. We moved over there for the last 15 minutes to meet some friends. Nobody checking tickets or anything.
  15. Another great day for NOVN. 21+% on the day. 110+% over a week. According to twitter the new PTs that came out last week are starting at $28, then $40, and Friday a $90 dropped. Somebody should run tell Reddit....
  16. My bad, maybe it was Conor fanboys during their 2 fights. "I coulda swore..."
  17. I know this board hates Nate Diaz, but fuck it, that's exactly why he's the fan favorite. He isn't the best boxer, isn't fast enough or even have enough pop, but he knows his game and is decent enough at boxing timing, and will just try to wear the person in front of him out until the technical aspects are no longer a factor. He had Leon cross-eyed for about 7 seconds there and just pointed at him and laughed instead of rushing to finish him off. I don't understand it, but I kinda do.
  18. Bring that dang kid home already Sark. He looks like a Longhorn in that burnt orange and has 75% less derp than his (uncles?) Eli and Peyton.
  19. Part of me wanted to say that the "cauldron" thing is a joke, it's 5 degrees cooler than in Austin, and 10% less humidity..... but then again they haven't trained in Austin during the summer yet, and have spent months on the road already so it's not like they're here much.... but anyway, they shouldn't be the ones faltering due to weather in this league for long.
  20. It's embarrassing to watch.
  21. BEGGING for another DP this summer. We need somebody with balls.
  22. Wow. Incredible. The man is a beast.
  23. STUUUUUVVVVERRRRRRRR ..... What a great move to show the open legs then cross them at the last second. Sounds like me trying to get laid after a night on East 6th.
  24. First 10 minutes were one-sided, we're coming on a bit. Ball is flowing a bit more during the counters....
