  1. The price in most bars/restaurants isn't much better. $7-8 easy around Austin, might've had it at one place for $5, maybe Liberty on the east side. Indeed a great beer however.
  2. I wonder what the nit-pick would've been if he had single-handedly cancelled all NBA games the day after the shooting. Y'all would probably say he's an idiot because he reacted quickly without a plan. Or that he did it in front of a camera (with his huge visibility) so he's really just doing it for himself and "needs to be the face" and should step back. There's a built in complaint for any action he takes, or could've taken, and damn y'all will find the fuck out of it.
  3. And while we're at it (talking about how good The Leftovers is), Watchmen was pretty damn good itself. I'm in for this, maybe tonight.
  4. Ready for the impossible tonight. Want Deni. We got a 1 and 2 to roll with for the next 3-4 years at least. Deni can play 3, and "active on defense" sounds lightyears better than what DeMar gives us at the 2/3, so I'm ready. My body is ready.
  5. I'm not sure that it's about Kerstetter being better at Tackle than Center, I would guess that it's about tackle being more important to shore up than Center. You absolutely need a center to deliver the ball and hopefully set the line before each play (make calls), but it's for naught if you can't set and protect the edge. If Majors can snap well and at least hold his own at C, and Kerstetter is that much better at RT than Okafor (who has had 5 seasons to develop into a starting RT), then I trust Hand to make that call. Majors will have two extremely smart tackles and a returning Angilau to help him set the line and make calls. But at the same time, FCB, probably not happening.
  6. Finish off the #1 QB, RB and WR in the state for 2022 and let Carrington drop the #WRTS to start the Texas-bred revolution we've been waiting for.
  7. A'deoyle rules!!
  8. Hayden's highlight clips really baffle me. Not for him, but because I can't tell for the life of me why Foster would be ranked so much higher than him. One shows a nasty streak, and a want to actually get off the ball and hit people, the other shows a classic "I'm fat so I can grab this guy and fling him" OL mold. How?
  9. With all respect to Mr. Washington, nobody is going to make his son leave Austin if he's not playing football this fall. He has a full scholarship to the University of Texas, not to Tom Herman's locker room. I didn't necessarily grow up in the "war zone" that is St. Louis, but I am pretty fucking sure that living the broke college student life is 10x better than it. Not sure why these parents would "make" their kids come home when they have a world-class university they could be attending instead.
  10. Need a star indeed. We have tons of pieces, but a go-to guy in the 4th is most important. White is the only young guy that has the makeup, but I'm not sure that he's that guy. He can create for himself, but not as easily as DD. He creates for others better than DeRozan does, and obvs is better off the ball, but we need a guy that can go get that last shot. I'm also not sold on Jakob. He's ok at the 5, but will either need another big to help him out down low (a 4), or will need to be a matchup/bench player. He works hard, but in the bubble he's appeared pretty weak in the paint at both rebounding and obviously also finishing at the rim. He refuses to be aggressive in his finishing and it literally partially cost us a game last week. We have 4 young guys that have shown no reluctance to take the ball to the rim, and we'll be missing a lot of points if we don't get them a guy that can finish in traffic when they collapse defenses. We've already seen it.
  11. Watch, somehow, with our luck, on February 22nd, the 1st day of practice before our Spring season, "Jordan Whittington has been held out of full practice today as a limited participant. He is still recovering from his 3 hamstring surgeries but is hoping to be cleared to resume full practice next week".
  12. Now there's UT assistant coaches and parents tweeting this nonsense like UT is kicking them off campus if they aren't playing football. Nobody said anything about "making" them go home to their situations. If they want to be on campus they can be on campus as a student. Obviously if fall football is canceled the team will still be working out a few times a week, they can hit the weight room with their teammates.
  13. They can't prevent the players from being young men. I Uber'd a veteran skill player to a Riverside apartment complex 2 weeks ago. He was meeting up a girl. I have 0 confidence that these young men are disciplined enough to keep themselves away from parties and/or young women for 4 months. I just hope enough of them do that we get football, because I'm selfish and it's my favorite time of the year.
  14. I knew Embiid was good but hadn't seen him at his best. He's at his best tonight. Reminds me of Hakeem. So smooth with the footwork at that height.
  15. This isn't the content I log onto Surly for, but it is the content I can't get enough of.
  16. Back to Back but no LMA to worry about his old man knees or being winded and whatnot. If Marco stays his old ass on the bench I think we'll be alright. Now matching up with Philly is another problem....
  17. Keldon looks very good. Athletes are a dime a dozen, athletes that play defense and dish out assists (and hoooopefully can hit a 3?)..... not so much. We might have a few on this team.
  18. He only played 60 regular-season games with the Toronto championship team. He was under "load management" the entire year, so I would think that's the new normal for him.
  19. Damn, I'm excited to watch another season! Surprised they didn't give us any hints of the drama yet. There's always plenty.
  20. He's literally right there next to Coffey. He deleted his comment.
  21. This is the part that I don't understand. Have only read this page of the thread, I'm sure it's been brought up before, but what exactly are they supposed to be doing there? CBP are going to war with gangs? I fucking doubt it. You think DHS or whoever is running this has a plan that the local PD (and FBI and whoever else) hasn't already tried? Trump's DHS? And as you said, that's assuming they actually want to "fix" the crime/drug problem (they don't). They'll arrest whatever young people they want, label them antifa because they're protesting, and then fat fuck will hit the airwaves and tell everyone he's cleaning up the inner-cities. (ir)Regardless of what is actually happening. Optics, baby.
  22. A teddy "bear" out of a hare carcass. She was one of the few that was seriously losing it. Just finished the season today. I was really impressed with the skills these people had. Fishing skills. Bow-hunting skills. Trapping skills. Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills! The last two were serious, forgot Jordan did mention he lived in Siberia for a while though. He was very prepared.
  23. I was thinking about this too. Students are being sold their normal season tickets, so yes they will be at games, but I'm wondering how many students overall are opting to go fully online this fall. It will be a significant portion, which means a significant amount of students won't be living in/around campus.
  24. Just venting: These cock suckers really waged 3 and a half years of a misinformation campaign and are now wallowing in their own shit storm so have just thrown up their hands and said fuck it, whatever happens with Covid happens. 130k already dead and tens of thousands more to come (if not more). Maybe if 40% of the country didn't believe it was a "democratic hoax" for months we wouldn't be here. I'm sure the dots have been connected many times on this 500+ page thread, but fuck even my sister, the RGV RN was retweeting shit about this being a democratic hoax in March. "It's just a ploy to take attention away from the BEST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND". Three months later and the RGV is hit with fucking mortars. Even her team of L&D nurses in Harlingen is hit with 3 cases, all of them showing physical symptoms, one severe. Now my nephew has it. And she's preaching all over facebook to wear a mask. Maybe if you (and the other followers) didn't waste months believing in that dumbshit's misinformation we would've had a chance to be prepared for this shit. But here we fucking are. [/rant]
  25. This looks like they're watching from TopGolf.
