  1. does anyone remember Eric McMahon? He was the strongest guy in the Clear Lake team Mim's era. I think he played DL.
  2. Rodney Mims was a friend of mine and he was blazing fast but he didn't quit because of settlement money, he came down with a strange condition his senior year that caused his body to have massive muscle spasms. McKinney played OL - maybe he was 2 ways.
  3. This. My lord people want something to bitch about. Who knows if Drayton was responsible for us getting Watson who has been nothing short of a pleasant surprise for me. Watson has shown the ability to get those 3.2 yards through tiny cracks and his hands are awesome. Keontay has not appeared to be 100% all season.
  4. He knows what a pissed off dad looks like. Doubt he wants to spend Daddy time like that.
  5. The cynic in me sees the Ewok's size causing an accidental helmet to helmet that gets Hager kicked out of game.
  6. My first, and post invoking, thought was that if he weren't lazy he could have lost 30 from February until now. Cam Ridley went from 315 - 280 in one offseason if we're to believe the press.
  7. Crystal Meth is Bad. Toothless Gooner Sooner Lad. Your Bro is Your Dad.
  8. To complicate this may I suggest another approach? If community integrity is the goal and differentiation from $9.95's is the unique value prop for Surly, have you considered modeling your financial goals on The Slicing Pie model? Slicing Pie would have you take the costs you incur at a 4X valuation and your risk (that is your market value for the time it takes to do the work) at a 2X valuation and derive at the number you should aim for. In this instance it would be $4K for the costs (because it's easier to save money than to spend it, it has a higher valuation) + whatever your market value is (for whatever job you could be doing other than this) X 2 - then divide that by the number of Users and then either try to raise that amount by a monthly fee or by donation. This way the community integrity remains intact - you're charging a fair price and getting value at the same time - and won't have to resort to the methods which introduce variables that dilute the community integrity. By the by, I'm all for you making money, and if that's the goal then you should charge as much as you can while maintaining a paying user base.
