  1. Locker room janitor for the Cowboys is an “NFL job.”
  2. It would allow me to get more drinking done on the way to and from Longhorn games.
  3. Which of the policies have people the most riled up, besides that the Trump administration came up with them? I can see people not agreeing with elimination of DEI, supporting trans sports, or wanting more foreign students and "anti-conservative" content in classrooms, but I don't see any as turning higher education into a "wasteland." This thread is 98% bitching about Texas accepting or rejecting it and not much discussing the compact itself and how it will turn Texas into a joke of a university unable to educate students. It seems these universities could take the money, interpret and enforce the terms as they want, and the worst case is the Trump team doesn't like it and pulls the preferential funding status which the universities lose anyway by not accepting. Eliminate DEI in hiring and admissions and make them based on merit 5 year tuition freeze, and make STEM education tuition-free for "non-wealthy" students Cap foreign student enrollment to save more spots for American students Limit sports participation to biological sex While professors can voice their "anti-conservative" views off the clock, keep it out of classroom curriculum Prevent protests intended to disrupt classroom and study areas Receive preferential status in federal grant funding
  4. I hope you wore your Scott Hatteberg jersey.
  5. If we end up in draft position to get a good QB, would someone give us 3 first rounders for CJ? How is this season any different? They keep signing washed busts and burning midround picks on OL. It's been this way since Caserio got here.
  6. ["you never played the game/position" card]: A lot of keyboard warriors treat football like it's a Madden game. There is a psychological and physical toll of taking a beating that doesn't show up in the video game. Arch has missed badly on a several open receivers when he appeared to have time. When more often then not he does not have time and is going to take a hit, he's probably assuming he's about to get crushed on every throw while his head, arms, and legs are getting beat down as the game goes on. The OL playing better is necessary for its obvious purpose, but it also gives the QB confidence to see open receivers, step in and make a good pass. Our OL gets no push on run plays and is typically a sieve on pass blocking.
  7. No shit. On any given play, it seems 2-3 OL don’t block. We never blow people off the ball on run plays. Arch expects to get hit every time he drops back.
  8. Maybe they can use AI to give every possible alternate ending, including one where the Night King wins and turns Cersei and Daenerys into his zombie concubines.
  9. Mateer’s going to play?
  10. A real MAGA movement would be to eliminate the middle men in major industries such as healthcare, real estate, autos, student loans, etc. that siphon money for "services" that could be eliminated or replaced.
  11. Yeah, PA doesn't work when you can't effectively run the ball.
  12. Hopefully he doesn't adopt the Belichick strategies.
  13. Have we been able to consistently run between the tackles since Mackovic and Ricky Williams? We've had a lot of 4/5 star backs and several made it to the NFL, but it seems like a 25 year theme of soft ass zone blocking and hoping the RB can find a crease and make a play on his own. Greg Davis, Shawn Watson, Tim Beck, Sark... The years when we had dynamic running threats at QB (VY, Colt, Sam), it was enough to keep defenses off balance and the RBs were able to find more of those creases.
  14. I’m somewhat chuckling about this. 10 years ago we were misled by the developers that all of Mueller was zoned to Maplewood elementary and McCallum hs. We figured out that we were just east of a dividing line after plunking down a big deposit so we just rolled with it. There was such hypocrisy of people preaching to “east Muellerites” to happily send their kids to Blanton and Reagan/NE, while being uppity about their kids’ schools (or if they had money, sending their kids to private schools). Maplewood (and maybe McCallum) were too full to accept transfers so we were stuck. We ended up bailing to the burbs when our kids started school. Now the west muellerites can practice what they preached.
  15. No idea. FLA went out of bounds and it was 2nd and short, clock stopped. I thought it could’ve been a clever play to jump offsides intentionally to give them the first down and rob them of at least one play. After the penalty but before the snap on 1st and 10, they wound the clock. Seemed incorrect and cost us 35 seconds.
  16. No, but only if you think he's going to keep hitting that way. I stopped expecting it a long time ago, especially when players have outlier statistical years about the time they are up for a contract extension. * Also, Jake Meyers hit 0.300 this year. Is he untradeable and expected to maintain that next season?
  17. I think some dumbass rich team would give good value for Yordan as a splash move where they can boast about his hitting and good contract. If good value is offered, I’d take it in a second and thank Yordan for his 2022 postseason bat. Peña’s trade value is likely at its all time peak this offseason. I don’t know if I’d do it, but we do have Paredes or Cam that could play 3B and slide Correa back to SS.
  18. I’ve seen a lot of speculation on punishments to the Clippers (fines, loss of draft picks, salary cap holds, owner suspension and/or forced to sell). All I’ve heard about the player is the contract will be voided. WTF? He clearly knew what they were doing. At a minimum he should be fined the amount of the fake NIL payments and/or suspended. Voiding his contract makes him a free agent and theoretically rewards him. NBA needs to send a message to players as well that might try that shit in the future.
  19. He usually rotates those kids at 1B, SS, P every inning (so none of the other kids get reps learning those positions). It manifests into the kids can never throw to 3B, home, or the 2B as a cutoff man. It's madness.
  20. We're approaching mutiny on our 7u fall rec ball team. It seems the head coach thinks (starting before the first game) the only way we can win the final championship game (assuming we make it) is a strategy of leaning on 3 kids, one of which is his son who he plays at SS. He scolds the other 9 players for making the correct baseball play, like throwing the ball in front of the lead runner, or 3B throwing to 2B for a force out, because "they are too risky for 6 and 7 year olds" and insists that if any other player fields a ball, they must throw it to one of the 3 "good" players no matter the situation or where those players are in the field. In practices, he assigned kids to a permanent "A", "B", and "C" group that run different drills based on how he wants to play in the game. The irony is that we could beat the top two teams by season's end if most of the roster got development and were allowed to attempt the correct plays, make mistakes, and improve. It sucks when you're 3 or 4 games into a season and you already have to write it off because most of the kids (including mine) aren't getting the right reps in practice and are being instructed to make incorrect plays in games. Now that my older son and his friends moved to select, I'm going to have to come out of retirement to coach the younger crew.
  21. Usually if it’s a drop dead stop time mid-inning and the home team is losing, you revert to the score before the last inning started. It would be weird to give the visitors an extra at-bat then call ball game.
  22. I’d have traded Framber by the deadline since he was at highest value, didn’t want a reasonable extension, and (in my perception) had a shitty attitude. I’d definitely shop Yordan. We know he’s an injury factory, but he still gets a lot of national hype and it would be considered a blockbuster trade for whoever gets him so hopefully the return would be good. DFA LMJ because he’s had bad juju for the team since his 2022 WS implosion. The Jose Abreu and Montero contracts are off the books this offseason, right? If Peña and Scott Boras are eyeing some mega extension based on one great season out of his four, I’d listen to trade offers for him too (Paredes 3B, Correa SS?). Same for Jake Meyers whose average this year should yield the best return we’d ever get for him. Reload AAA, see who’s ready to move up from AAAA, find value FA’s to fill in the gaps.
