Re: Garrett Gilbert…Mack was pissed because VY got screwed out of a Heisman in ‘05, Colt in ‘08, and the ‘08 team got screwed out of the BCS championship game, so in ‘09 he decided to leave Colt in games for style points. Gilbert could’ve played much more and seemed somewhat competent against Alabama and maybe not have been ruined for the rest of his time as a Longhorn. Keeping QB1 in rhythm is a valid point. Unconventional idea that will be deemed stupid: Let Arch play the opening drive of games, then hand it over to Ewers for the rest of the game until it is decided, then Arch can come back in to finish it out. Better idea: blow people the fuck out so Arch can play most of the second half of games.

“November 26, 1999”

Y’all have trained meta ai well. I asked it for “disappointed aggy” and got this:

We dominated while using 4 different kids at every position and a different batting order every night. Looking forward to the double jump to 8U-AAA next season. The league says they are enforcing a rule of 3 players max per team on the All-Star team. I’ve got 8 kids who would be the best player on any other team. Pretty sure an “all star” team comprised of players from the other AA squads would still get beat by my regular roster. I don’t know what argument to make would get them to bend their policy, but they clearly won’t be fielding the best team by blocking 5 kids who hit 0.750+ with good gloves in favor of kids from bottom feeders that strikeout half the time in coach pitch.

I was trying to recreate Vincent Valdez storming the aggy section with the goalpost, and it told me it couldn’t do violence or graphic content and then basically stopped making images for me after that.

Thigh or smoove beav?

Caserio gets benefit of the doubt until trouble shows up on the field, but there have been a head scratching moves especially in hindsight. - Trade back with Minnesota got good Jimmy Johnson draft chart point value, but at #23 they could’ve had a starting WR with Worthy, Pearsall, or Mitchel (#3 now, maybe #2 next year if Nico walks). Or got a consensus starting CB in Terion Arnold (or they could’ve moved up a couple spots to get Quinyon Mitchell). - I know what Caserio said his logic was for reducing Diggs’s contract length and extending Mixon, but I don’t agree with either. Diggs was under a team-friendly non-guaranteed contract. If you thought there’s a good chance he becomes a cancer, you shouldn’t trade for him. You traded the 2025 Vikings 2nd (likely somewhere in the #35-45 range) for a one year rental of Diggs, who you already acknowledge could turn into a problem? Joe Money Mixon…the Bengals know him the best and felt he wasn’t worth the base money left on his deal. Texans could’ve let it play out with Mixon in a contract year to get the best effort and production from him. Instead, they gave him more money and less motivation, extending him into an age where most RBs start to fall off. - Sitting at #42, after the run on OT’s, they misread the room on Sweat’s value, and waited too long while “first round talent” DBs Koolaid and DeJean were taken at #40 and 41. They missed an anchor DT (position of need) or better DB and took a slow CB. - CJ was advocating for Hall Jr. and I guess they may have thought he’d be there at #59, but they thought wrong. - Burning a 4th that was part of their other trade just to move up 8 spots in the late 3rd round to take a skinny safety who struggles against the run and played on a bad defense is questionable. They could’ve taken JT Sanders there, or stayed at #86 and taken him while keeping #123. Oh they didn’t need to draft a TE? They took Stover who seems like a project with their next pick. I’m not going to criticize later round picks since they are practically scratch off lotto tickets with low hit rates. At least they didn’t take a former aggy 12th man, I guess. If they’d come away with Dejean/Koolaid, OT or S at #59, and JT Sanders it would look a lot better on paper and to fans, and likely better odds at on field production in the short term when we’re trying to win during CJ’s rookie contract.

Depending on the free fall, the two 4ths could’ve been turned into a third for JT Sanders or the edge from HBU. They must really like Bullock to think someone was going to jump them in the 8 picks before to steal a safety built like a corner who played on a bad USC defense.

Did they really need to give up their better fourth rounder to move up 8 spots to get him?

Would you rather have: Bryce Young, or Caleb Williams + DJ Moore + OT Darnell Wright + CB Tyrique Stevenson + 2024 2nd and 4th rounders? I’m going to go back and look at every mega trade for a first round QB to see what percent of them worked out vs busted

Texans should trade Diggs to KC for #32 and take Mitchell.

CTJ says both LSU receivers suck, so yay that Brian Thomas went to Jags? Extending Mixon and reducing Diggs’s contract both seem like poor decisions

Good odds he’ll go mid 2nd round

The 2025 second rounder from Minnesota already got sent to Buffalo for Diggs? 🤷

They need that red jersey in case they play at Jacksonville or Miami in September and the home team opts for white, since the other two jerseys are damn near black now.

Let it go, Indiana. It’s been 18 years. The Texans get no credit for rejecting 100% of pundits and talking heads by not taking Reggie Bush. They said exactly what they were thinking: they’d be in a division with Peyton Manning for several more years, and saw Mario Williams as a possible Bruce Smith type DE to cause Indy trouble. I love VY and wish they’d picked him. It’s possible things may have turned out better for him, but there’s no way to know that. You can’t put his NFL shortcomings, poor work ethic, bungling of jobs at UT, drinking and more recent issues, etc. all on the Texans.

Yes, but it’s not an either/or. They could have bad ass uniforms AND win. I think the home and road uniforms are an improvement (but far short of an H-town Blue jersey). The font is still stupid, why can’t they go with classic block font like most classic teams (Cowboys, Giants, 49ers, Chiefs, Raiders, Patriots, Packers, Bills, Browns, Colts, Saints, Dolphins)? Learn lessons from previous fails like several recent Falcons jerseys, the terrible Browns jerseys of 2010’s, Commanders, “new” Rams. Who would you like to be grouped with in the NFL world?

WTF NFL why do you give a fuck about Amy Adams Seaskunk and the Nashville fanbase (who has no emotional tie to the Oilers but to troll Houston) over doing what everyone else in the football universe knows to be right and just? HTown Blue is not Columbia Blue. The trademark was Columbia + white + red. I’m no lawyer, but you’d think the addition of navy as a fourth color would make it novel, or that it is a different shade of blue. Grow some sack, Cal and Roger Goodell.

If the target fan market is people who put stickers of their family name in old English font on the back window of their truck, then this H logo nailed it.

No comments 24 hours after the third to final episode probably sums up where this show it. I love Dave Filoni, but I also love to criticize his abundance of filler episodes in seasons with fewer episodes. If Clones Wars and Rebels have 20 episodes, sure burn 2 or 3 with side capers or suspenseful (slow developing) plot development. I’d summarize episode 313 like this and there’d be no reason someone who have to watch it: “Omega is still trapped in the basement of Tantiss base with other force sensitive kids and explores a droid shaft as a possible escape route. She doesn’t escape. Bad Batch dress Rampart in Impirial officer clothes, sneak onto a launch station above Coruscant to find the coordinates to Tantiss. They fail, so they latch onto a science ship headed there instead.” This all could’ve been act 1 of an episode instead of the entire episode. Two episodes left to resolve their fate, the M-count cloning program, and if the brought Ventress back for anything other than a cameo.

What’s that different from 2007 to today? Smartphones? 2% of cars being fully electric? Gender pronouns?

Go Bulls on Friday against Miami.
