Good thing he's playing BYU this week, they're all Mike Taafes

I think that would have come across like he was whining about it, but I agree he should have been more forceful about it. "You've got a commissioner not wanting to give us the championship this year so we are going to take it."

Flaming hot take. He literally changed the whole trajectory of the aggies. They said the football foundation raised an extra 200 or 300 million than ever before after his freshman season. He was a great college qb who didn't have the tangible needs to make it in the NFL and more importantly the work ethic, but to say he wasn't a great college qb is a wild take. He's like Tim Tebow, but completely different brains.

Fair point, but their realism doesn't kick in until conference play and ours comes 1st or 2nd series of game one. If you aren't drinking the burnt orange kool-aid from Febuary-Fall Camp how can you even enjoy Texas Football.

It's better to have expected greatness and lost it than to have never expected it at all.

Exactly. Bulls are faster than humans and Matadors have been making them look pretty dumb for a long time. There isn't a great option but that's got to be better than your chances with a bear or a lion

I'm sure you've seen it, but About Time is a fantastic time travel romcom / father-son relationship movie. And for those of you macho men that would be turned off by the sound of that just do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

Cluthpoints says it would take 4th, 20th, Jabari, KPJ, Jae'Sean, and 2 future 1sts to land him. Hard pass

I've read reports that Harden has really changed his ways and attitude and only wants to come back to Houston because he thinks they're championship ready

Just catching up on the all the Paris threads. My wife and I are heading to Paris at the end of May for the first time in 15 years and mainly curious on restaurants and which areas to explore in our open times. @PenelopeWitherspoon seems to be the resident professional, but curious for any and all to pitch in. I have a tendency to cram pack a schedule which I'm trying to make sure I don't do here, but here's a rough layout of what I have so far. We've got 4 days in Paris and 3 days in Nice and are staying in the Latin Quarter so most dinners / breakfasts will be around there. Day 1 - Arrive to hotel around 930AM, check out Notre Dame / Saint Chappelle area then either head to Sacre Coure or Champs area depending on how we are feeling after travel day Day 2 Versailles in the morning open in the afternoon Day 3 10AM Eiffel Tower Summit, Sienne River Cruise open in the afternoon Day 4 Open in the morning 11PM Moulin Rouge show (I've heard Pink Mamma is a good trendy restaurant close to this) Day 5 train to Nice relax in afternoon Day 6 Explore Monte Carlo Day 7 Explore Cannes Day 8 Fly back home Thank you for taking a look!

I don't think it affects draft picks in the 3rd+ rounds, but it's definitely does in the 1st and maybe some in the 2nd. RBs are the least expensive in the league along with safeties and LBs I think. With the latest WR deals those are up there now as well. QB, Edge, WR, CB, LT would be my guess.

It's more about salary cap than anything else. The 12th pick in the draft will make around 5M per year for the next 4 years. Maybe in 2 years Bijan is Joe Mixon good who makes 10M a year. Or say we pick Van Ness or JSN who could be Christian Kirk or Arik Amstead good in 2 years who make 18M a year. With the salary savings of going WR or Edge at 12 you could get a Ryan Jensen quality OLineman. Biggest problem with the number 2 pick being a non QB is we are going to be stuck in mediocre purgatory with no chance of getting a decent QB on a value contract

When I feel sad about the state of the Texans I just remember it could be so much worse if one of you goobers saying to draft Anderson or Bijan were running the organization.

“It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living. I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.”

After the Black Vaquero resolution, I thought Comanche Moon was very average. Couldn't agree more on Lonesome Dove though.

The roster is very talented, but we've always had guys who we expected to come in and be great that just hasn't panned out. The glaring problem with our program is that we've gone 15 years without a great QB. Ehlinger had 1.5 good years here, but outside of that it hasn't been great. It's the most important position in all of sports for a reason. If Quinn gets it figured out then we should be a 10+ win team. If not we will win 8ish. I think it's really that simple.

We are definitely trending in the right direction with the roster, but we've heard the same spring football shit since the Florida Five days.

Yea, hopefully we won't be drafting this high again and if there's a chance to take an all pro (eventually) QB at #2 then you have to do it. Use best available after that for all the holes on this team. If you get a talented roster with no QB ready to take the helm, then you're typically stuck in purgatory. We've got 9 top 3 round picks over the next 2 years to continue building this roster.

Trying to get my 7yo son into some star wars and don't think he's quite ready for the movies yet. What's the kid age range for this show?

I think Texans have to take a QB. If not, you build a roster good enough to be stuck in 8-9 purgatory and then keep running through available FA QBs. Take the QB now and pray he is a top tier QB while you continue to build the roster over the next couple of years when he is primed to compete. Ala Cincinati Bengals

I think he said the opposite of this. I believe when Sark came in he referenced the scholarship numbers being way off and the fact we had too many receivers.

Watched White Noise and it's far too strange for me. Best parts were in the trailer.
