  1. Averages sound good when discussing statistics, but so does mentioning that they played South Alabama and Missouri State early on. Did you account for that? How about the fact that they only put up 17 on Tech and 12 on Kansas State, and already have a game against Kansas to factor into their statistics?
  2. Not super-optimistic, but I do realize it's a viable game-plan. If you're scared to ask him to be a playmaker on Saturday, then put the ball in the hands of your 3 proven playmakers and let them work. CJ and Lil' J on the outside and Keontay inside. Shit, that's what Sterlin Gilbert used to free up room for D'Onta to run for 2,000, it just took us 3 and a half quarters to use it against Baylor's defense.
  3. I wish this was true. But the closest one to me is off Airport Blvd in Austin, and I never recommend that one. I still go there routinely, but I don't recommend it, it's just not quality. My favorites are usually in the nearest small town. The closer to Corpus the better.
  4. 82-0. We want the Warriors. I don't know what to make of this team yet, I don't know how we're going to find defense with the talent we have, but I'll be watching.
  5. I noticed that windfall too. I don't remember ever really paying attention to the fact that the clock keeps running (until we really, really needed it to Saturday).
  6. I just turned the corner to basketball season last week too. I was starting to get excited at the thought of DJM getting better, getting to witness the star that is DeMar, and just overall committing to this new Spurs team, but that injury is just a kick in the balls. Sports can be a real punk ass bitch sometimes. The silver lining is seeing Derrick White get his shot (and possibly even alleviate the talk of this team being a shit 3-point shooting team this year), but I think we all know this could be bad on the defensive end this year. I'll watch, but I'm not giddy about this season starting like I was last week.
  7. And none of this is to mention all the lines Conor crossed during build up. All the lines he could cross with Mayweather before they shared champagne (and/or blow) on the private jet before they flew to the next press tour stop. I'd pay a PPV fee just to hear/understand/translate what Khabib was saying to Conor when he was beating the shit out of him on the ground. That was some possessed/determined shit.
  8. He's not nearly as bad as Tristan Nickelson, or Shack last year, or Rodriguez at tackle last year, so our floor is definitely higher as an o-line, and that's important.
  9. I haven't been in this thread much because fuck Jones and Garrett and our refusal to help our secondary and our refusal to surround Dak with weapons that sorely needs............... but I'm quoting this bc I've never in my years of watching the Cowboys seen a QB throw to so many covered receivers in my life. I had just finished hearing that all of Dak's interceptions this year were apparently off of the hands of his receivers, when he threw ANOTHER one to a Texan that was also batted (and may have hit the hands of his receiver). But even if it did, it hit hands because he's consistently thrown into coverage this year. I know the receivers are bad, and it's true that the reasoning is partially because they can't fucking separate, but his decision making is not helping them out. You can't throw to a covered receiver who is below league average as it is. And wtf is up with these lines? Houston's O line has looked like dog shit all damn year, getting Deshaun beat up out there, and now they look like the Cowboys from 3 years ago giving him time to throw darts all across the damn field. Fucking ridiculous. I think I'm mentally done for this year too. I'll watch most of the games probably (ok maybe), but I'm done giving a shit.
  10. Lincoln Riley does curls in the squat rack.
  11. I hate that shit! Just go tf home already!
  12. Went to Micklethwait a few weeks ago on a rainy sunday (so no line). I was wondering if the rain would do anything to the wood/smoke or if it's generally not a good idea to go on a bad weather day, but that brisket/tex-czch sausage/pulled lamb plate was great. I've lived within a mile from it for about 3 years now and finally pulled the trigger to try it out. I'm a fan. Sausage was the least impressive (but still above average).
  13. I almost agreed with you but on second look the 2-toned fideo (brown & tan pieces) seems to be legit. Spaghetti only has tan.
  14. Yeah this doesn't hold up. First of all it's only drawing attention because it's funny. That taunting shit we did last year v. Missouri was way more embarrassing imo (which I still loved bc fuck 'em that's why). The big man (your 1-tech) makes a play and rubs his belly and it's funny and he deserves to, why would I as a Texas Ex get all high n mighty about it and start spouting off "we're Texas"?
  15. Are these tickets any more secure than the UT season tickets? There's people posting the barcodes all willy-nilly online on Craigslist and it makes me hesitant to make an offer. I've sold single-game tickets from my own seats and all you need on stubhub is the barcode. Could they be registered or something? Am I right to be hesitant?
  16. I felt it watching the highlights from the game. I watched the starting five and the bench, and waited to see one of "our" guys, and I saw Patty and that was cool, but then I just kept looking at whatever five were on the floor and thinking "these aren't THE guys".... No Manu, no Tony, not even a Danny. Dejounte is a great young prospect but I still don't consider him a "SPUR spur" yet. Not until he earns those wings (hell even Patty has). This is really LaMarcus' team now and it feels weird.
  17. I'm just on episode 3 and I'm already frustrated, but it's still entertaining. All the mixed reviews here are just about right... What's her hillbilly face extorting that old man for his business was pretty silly, as was his reaction, like they really needed to build that up for a 3 minute-shot climax. The FBI agent is also annoying as hell, what a trope. Just copy/paste scenes with the FBI dude from 'The Shape of Water' and call it a day, we already know his character.
  18. The last two really hit hard. I didn't expect the second to last episode. A cartoon horse really had me feeling tense as shit watching him go through his choking thing on set, that's how I know it's great writing. I honestly didn't know whether I should be feeling bad for him at that moment but I did, bc he was f'ing everything up finally. I liked how they wrapped everything up this season. Not everybody got a nice little bow on their story (i.e. Mr PB), but everybody did get themselves into something or out of something to finish the season.
  19. That Jan Levinson is a real firecracker.
  20. I've been re-watching over the past few months and finally got to the seasons where Michael moves away and Andy becomes manager. What a terrible decision. Andy was always wack as shit and they decided to make him a focal point. Right about the time they decided to make Kevin a joke. He was always a bit slower but was still cool, then they turned him into a drooling idiot around the time Andy took over. Seasons 1-6 are still great overall. Creed is a very underrated character, he says some outlandish shit. And on 2nd watch Erin (receptionist after Pam) is pretty damn funny too, everything she does as a character is humorous.
  21. What an aggy.
  22. They gave Mr. Peanut Butter a little depth! I had always noticed how they kinda skated over the fact he has so many ex-wives, but to give that some screen time was interesting. I love me some Mr. PB. Funny guy.
  23. I just finished a rec league basketball season at NW rec. You don't remember what scenes they filmed around there?
  24. This is fucking great dude, thanks. I feel like a genius when I saw our guys line up with 6 guys on the line and Patterson trotted out 5 in the box and I'm screaming "PLEASE run the ball, we have them outmanned" and we ran inside zone one out of two times I saw it, and it was for a decent gain. This blows that shit out of the water. If you're seeing this shit live I'm assuming you've done some serious studying on the issues.
