2023 Houston Texans Offseason - A Huge #2
horn4life replied to The Earl of Texas's topic in Football
I think that as fucked up as the Texans are why NOT get Bijan? Just to excite a fan base that assumes a big #2 is what is to be expected. At least you could sell some tickets and merch, and know you are gonna have a player that the KIDS are gonna want to watch. I don't know why I am even considering or much less hoping the Texans will draft Bijan. Fucking Dallas will draft him and for once in about 3 decades Jerry will have made a really smart decision, and our suffering will continue. I guess I can pretend there is hope... like an Aggie in September.... -

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

I think the only conclusion I have regarding Tesla ownership as they proliferate Austin. Apparently owning a Tesla is code for, you don't know how to fucking drive! -
Definitely changes in laws and credits have hurt production in Texas. Still a fair amount around the state, but Austin area would be busy as fuck if the folks that ran our fair state focused on something that could actually be productive and revenue generating without a lot of investment nor negative side effects... but I know... Trans kids, own the libs.. Back on Topic- hell Baldwin was always overcharged from the get go, because criminality was going to be hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.... really hard. There are civil avenues that are/will be exercised. Better to underpromise and overdeliver. The charges made that an impossibility given the facts.

Good music tonight on SoCo in two of my fave venues. The Woggles at C-Boys. They are old as dirt but still put on a hell of a show, or did a couple years ago. As well as Southern Culture on the Skids. Who also put on a hell of a show. I'm not going to either, but damn SoCo gonna be bumping tonight. I think there are a couple shots to see either band as they are part of the Lone Star Round Up Hot rod show. So probably a lot of cool rigs on SoCo as well!

Seems like today the only certainly about Fox News watchers is when it comes to Republicans, the clearly most likely scenario must be questioned. And when it comes to Democrats the most unlikely is presented as possible fact. I looked on Fox News website for news of the biggest fucking settlement in media history... and way down the page there was an lie saying the Judge said both sets of Lawyers performed admirably... and no mention of a dollar amount. Fox News hasn't been anything more that anti-American propaganda for a while. But it will get you death threats for poll workers from... real Patriots...

India - Burgeoning Global Superpower -- Friend & Foe?
horn4life replied to HamsterHookah's topic in Cloak Room
Former Friend - TBD? -
Yeah I think a bout how much scheming the opposing defensive coordinator spends contemplating the Quinn Ewers running threat. About as long as it takes to reply to, You want fries with that? And mutherfucker, it has nothing at all to do with a guys skin color. So an extra fuck you for that. Maalik is larger and would be more of a worry for defenses. To be unable to admit that is well, what I would expect of somebody who equates skin color with speed, and probably a lot of other ignorant as fuck opinions.
-
The stats are actually interesting to me in that honestly I would have thought a guy with his size would have more than 82 rushing yards against nearly 3000 yards of passing. To me that means he isn't looking to run unless he is forced to. Or he took a shit ton of sack yardage to offset rushing gains, but with his size that would surprise me. The main thing to me is that the kid simply hasn't been healthy. But he has been learning the playbook. One strike against Maalik, I'm sure in Sarks mind is how difficult it can be for any new starting QB to adjust to the speed of the game. In his closest simulation he looked pretty good though, and Sark's praise seemed heartfelt. One thing I hope that Sark does this year, is get Maalik some live on field experience asap.
-
It's been a very long tradition at Texas to love the second string QB. I don't think Arch will make it into the rotation this year. IF he does we are fucked.
-
Looking at that HUDL you see how effortlessly he tosses the deep ball. I think the fact he doesn't need to give it 90+ percent effort to get the ball deep helps him control the air underneath the passes more consistently. At 2:34 he jakes a couple of scrambles. Not fast like a gazelle, but serviceable speed able to get first downs if necessary physically. Again Glad he's here!
-
Can't we all just be friends... 😉 Look I revived this thread is that if you watched the scrimmage you had to at least contemplate that the kids might be the real deal after a couple years with Sark, and HOPEFULLY being and staying healthy. The fucking film tells you that. Now is that enough to push Quinn out of the role of starter? If the starting game was tomorrow, no way. But the one thing about college football is shit happens. And right now you have to feel a lot better about our prospects should "shit happen." But can Maalik TAKE the job away from Quinn? Right now I don't think so. And I think that's fine. But I also think right now that if this kid is actually truly healthy and this is the first time we have seen him healthy? And actually watched the scrimmage objectively? I would not be surprised to see this kid take advantage of an opportunity when it arises. And yeah, I think he is potentially a lot more formidable in scheming defensively against, than Ewers because of his size scrambling. But he is also unproven under the big lights. Not saying kick Quinn to the curb or anything like that. But if you don't think this kid is capable of leading this team after Saturday, I would say you weren't really paying attention. Glad he is here, showing a high level of capability, and clearly pushing Quinn. I personally was impressed, that's why I bumped the thread.

For a QB coming out of the backfield at 6'5" 235 lbs I think he has decent speed from the movement we saw today when he is apparently healthy. I think he would have enough "speed" to make plenty of 1st downs in what might otherwise be a coverage sack. How fast do you need a QB who can scare the fuck out of DB's with his deep ball to cover 8-10 yards and make a 1st down with half the defense 20 yards downfield? I would say unequivocally fast enough. 😉
-
I wonder what would happen if Sark... "Let Malik be Malik." He thew far and away the best deep balls today. And the deep balls are to get DB's on their heels a hair. Throw in the size and speed of Murphy as a way to break good coverage with a scramble? Who would scare you more if you were on defense, Quinn or Malik? Not trying to talk down Quinn just amazed at Murphy's performance and potential to change games with his feet and cannon of an arm.

The official 2024 GOP Presidential Candidate Clown Car thread!
horn4life replied to horn4life's topic in Cloak Room
Tim Scott is apparently kicking the tires, and trying out how comfy the seats might be. I guess the exploratory committee is to see if anyone will give him money? I guess I understand it since the GOP wants him to be the face of the party anytime they want to drift away from the republican's largely racist base for television rebuttals of Biden speeches. I have to tip my hat to Senator Tim Scott... as the first Black Republican elected to the Senate since.... hold your breath here.... since 1881... So if young people are watching the GOP really is as diverse as they have ever been in a century and a half... 😉 https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/12/tim-scott-presidential-exploratory-committee-00091597 -
You can get it real thin by using the backs of your wrists to lift and spin the dough slightly. The singing Mama Mia, Papa Pia may or may not have something to do with it. 😉 Basically I would use the weight of the dough on the edges to slowly do most of the stretching. I used the back of my wrists to slowly spin and later to toss just because I didn't tear the dough as much using the rounder larger than fingers back side of my wrists. I also found that the thinner the crust the more important it was that I brushed the dough with some oil to seal it before putting on the sauce and ingredients. We also would often pre-cook mushrooms for example to get rid of some of the liquid. I would often cook sausage links on the grill and poke a few holes in the casings at the end to remove some of the moisture there as well. Removing some of the juice/grease with the holes helped keep the pizza from getting runny, and after it was refrigerated you could cut thinking and consistently to get the thickness we desired. We were cooking mostly on a stone in our smaller top oven on our range. Usually at 450 degrees after a good long preheat. Not as good as some of the new blistering hot pizza ovens, but worked fine. Our cheat was to brush the crust edges with an egg wash to make it more similar to a hotter oven finish. While we always used corn meal to keep the dough from sticking the last homemade pizza I did last fall I used a new "cheat" instead of using corn starch. I realized that parchment paper had a flash point of 450 degrees. So we dropped the temp to 445 degrees and I put the pie together on a sheet of parchment paper on my pizza spatula. After it was put together I trimmed the edges of the parchment paper to the edge of the pizza crust and in she went. Again this is NOT in a super hot 800 degree oven, but a 445 degree oven. Pizza came out great and was super easy in and out of the oven with less mess to clean up from using the parchment paper as the base. I wish I had realized the parchment paper trick years ago, when a lot of our Friday nights were pizza with the kids.
-
From my years of experience from when my kids were young the most important part of pizza making is learning to toss the dough in the air while singing, "Mama mia, Papa pia, na, nana, nana na..."

All we really need to do is get funding for a shit ton of billboards simply saying: "Please vote Young People! Save Us from Rural Racist Republican Rule!" Young new voters are the only chance we have. The districts are so gerrymandered that nearly every slice of a city is diluted to where the rural (usually racist) vote can usurp the votes of the city dwellers. All the while Abbott and company praise the growth of the very areas they do not want self determination for. The reason that young people are the only way forward is fairly simple. There is no longer any accountability at all from Republicans regarding elected politicians. And because there is no accountability to can elect and re-elect an Attorney General under felony indictment avoiding his day in court for years upon years. So young people are the only hope.

Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: It's Miller Time
horn4life replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Here's the deal to me. Do some of these kids not watch their fucking film? Especially when it comes to playing time. Do they have the drive and quite frankly anger it takes to outwork and usurp a talented starter to get your minutes. Hunter got more and more minutes as he improved over the course of the season, but he could have gotten more minutes a lot earlier with a higher level of play. Look at Marcus Carr this year vs the year before. He simply did not live up to the billing year one, but he worked hard and became the player that everyone expected him to be. Mitchell simply could not consistently play at a high enough level to push other more experienced players out of the way. And why was that? Usually... it's less than stellar defense, and an unwillingness to work hard to further develop your talent. Defense is the one really unselfish part of basketball. You need EVERYONE to play good defense. If you don't play good defense you are letting everyone else on the court down, as you are the weakest link. Basketball is the one sport where a reasonably talented player can cash a pretty decent paycheck if they have talent (even if their defense is weak) as there are so many international leagues out there you can make some pretty good coin for a couple years. I think because of the team size, the portal and NIL it will become more and more rare to actually build teams over time. It's gonna be attrition and replacement over, and over, and over. And in a way, that may actually not be a good for Terry as some coaches. As I truly believe he values his relationships and building them. And that may be hard to do with the disrupter that is the portal (combined with NIL). I will also say that with Terry's desire for defense nearly any talented player could benefit from improving their defense, and in turn their NBA prospects. Because of these uncertainties, that is why I say we will find out soon if Terry can recruit. I know he has recruited well in the past, but the portal and the NIL have changed the game dramatically. But like I said we are going to get a report card very soon, as players are now able to start signing on the dotted line up until May 17th. Hopefully we can get a signing to build some momentum shortly. We are in the mix for some good names, now we just need to close one or two to start defining the team for the remaining players out there. And we need more NIL money, (ask Miami). -
Basically I am saying that as the Head Coach at UT we will find out how well he can use his new position as a recruiter. History is exactly that, history. Right now he has a lot of kids that left, many sort of expected. So we will see. Terry was always a hire that was a damned if you do and damned if you don't. For me there are simply not enough data points to make an educated guess one way or the other. But we will know soon as the portal will determine all. Terry could flop. But he earned the job and there simply was not a coach with a big enough splash to wash out the negatives of not giving Terry a chance. Doesn't mean the Basketball office would not like some good press rather than just exiting player articles.
-
So worst case scenario is 3-4 years of Shaka... 🤪 With all the moving parts in the Portal you can't tell what's what until the dust settles. Like I said a while back, we are gonna find out pretty fast if Terry can recruit or not. And right now some folks are feeling like their date to the prom just told you that they are going with somebody else and you are scrambling to find a date... any date! Right now things a looking a lot more tenuous than they were. And anxiety is rising. Let's hope and pray that Terry can indeed fill the slots in the portal. I know that Terry and everyone in the BBall office is hoping to hear something, anything positive.

I am just trying to figure out what a dick storm is... But it doesn't sound good. -
So how big is the market for Gnome and Fairy housing? 😉
