  1. OK - and this is extremely important - lean or moist?
  2. Yeah it missed you by a few years ... still ongoing as we speak. That's a lotta got damn money.
  3. Nah, man. I've had my ass in the grass. Can't say I liked it much. Lots of bugs and too dangerous. As it happens, my present duties keep me where I belong ... in the rear, with the gear.
  4. So, yeah ... where is @Randolph Duke , anyway?
  5. Yeah so does my STi. Filled up at $3.37 yesterday at the Exxon at Slaughter & Manchaca. I save more than $8.00 on that tank vs a place 1/2 mile closer to my house. Hope that helps. Crazy how much variance there is thse days.
  6. Eh ... I filled up yesterday for $2.99. That's up $0.50 since I filled up like 10 days ago. I know Turkey Day is coming up, but got damn.
  7. Since we're talking about replacements & shit, & the Freshwater chicken has been fucked to death, I really like a guy like Cignetti, who clearly knows how to get the most of the talent he has on hand. Now, there's a decent chance that I'm a moron. Exhibit A: I post here. But if I'm wrong (or right) about Cignetti, I'd love to hear the reasons why, and I'm sure there are numerous people here that know much more about him than I do. Also, IIRC he just re-upped recently, so he might be a hard get even if we wanted to go that direction, so who are some other guys that might have similar attributes?
  8. It kinda blows my mind how literally some people take these kinds of statements. In these kinds of situations, parties on both sides are told to say all kinds of things by their agents/lawyers/etc because they need to check boxes x, y, and z for contractual / legal reasons. Then the dumbasses freak out. "Did you hear that?! Corch says he ain't goin' nowhere" and "AD says he's a hunnert per cent committed to Corch!!1! That's it. He's stayin'" And yeah, E Hogan is a fucking unlistenable beating. He's one of the reasons I stopped listening to sports talk radio years and years ago. They don't know shit, and their shit's all regarded.
  9. I bet you're kinda familiar with Abbott's MERP shenanigans + $500,000,000 to COTA (so far) then, amiright?
  10. Over/under on how long it takes Trump to ask what idiot appointed him, call him a moron, and denounce him as a traitor?
  11. Yep, but I would think there are still a lot around who have been smart enough not to wear their hearts on their sleeves and get shitcanned. But who knows ...
  12. With this post, first you need to look at the avatar. Then read the post. Then back to the avatar. It's amazing. I'll be in me bunk.
  13. I not only have that hope, I'm actually confident of it. The typical high-ranking military officer is very well educated (unlike Trump), with multiple master's degrees, and is steeped in military history, international affairs, and all manner of other leadership, ethics, legal, philosophical, strategy & tactics, and other training. They're serious professionals who take their oaths seriously. Of course there are always exceptions, but I believe this to be true of the overwhelming majority.
  14. I know it sounds crazy, but I, too, have had this same thought.
  15. Correct.
  16. Yep, and it goes the other way, too. His OC duties are detracting from his HC big-picture duties. IOW, he's sucking at both jobs because he's not focused on either of them.
  17. ... which is nice.
  18. It's just a "Reading Comprehension Knighthood". Kinda like a participation ribbon. NBD.
  19. It's a question as old as sports, and it's how I evaluate coaches in any sport: Does the coach try to force players into the coach's system or does the coach adapt to the strengths and weaknesses of the players on the team at a given time. Adaptability to the talent on hand is far and away the most important attribute of a good coach imho. The ability to adapt gameplans, to find ways to highlight the players' strengths while diminishing their weaknesses is the surest sign of coaching prowess imho, and it is rare indeed.
  20. I mean, I fucked in that facility too, once upon a time back in the day ... but I wasn't the HFC.
