  1. Mount! Dayum!!
  2. LOL. That's awesome...
  3. C'mon, it'll be weeks/months/years before they understand how much of a game changer this is...
  4. RIP Sir Frank.
  5. WHEN??????!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Nothing. Nothing different would have happened. The top drivers are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want with zero repercussions. This particular instance was Max.
  7. This right here. When a 4* or 5* gets to Austin, they seem to think they've made it. There's nothing left to prove. "I'm a bad ass, and now I play football at Texas, which proves I'm a bad ass." When we do get one that is hungry and wants to WIN, they stand out (I'm looking at you, Worthy). I hope our recruiting process (and however we fund it) is focused on getting bad-ass-motherfucker-wallet-bearing dudes who want to prove something ONCE they get here, and not highly-skilled dudes who think just getting here has proved anything.
  8. I did just see that our next opponent is hapless Norwich (my other team)...so *I* could probably start as a striker and at least keep us in that one...
  9. Didn't get to watch...any updates/thoughts on those injuries?
  10. FIFY
  11. Burnt Ends!!!
  12. Let me start by saying that game was an abomination, and I'm not happy with it in any sense...I'm just looking for something to keep me from crawling in a bourbon bottle every Saturday this fall... Assuming Casey continues to show his game-time skills, there are some positive outcomes: - we have no QB controversy. - we have Casey starting, who seems to have a better grasp of how to handle things then the bullets start flying (as someone described it above). - we have Card as second string, and everyone (Card, players, boosters, fans) knows he isn't ready yet. So we get to keep both QBs, get to start the one who gives us a better chance now, and get to keep the one who has the higher ceiling for later.
  13. First half was not pretty. Saul seemed to be taking some time to acclimate to the team/tactics/league/something. The result was that we didn't seem to have any control of the middle of the pitch. Saul came off for the second half, and the game turned beautiful. Lukaku's two goals were fantastic in different ways - the first to make the defender sail by with a fake shot turn, the second with a stunning, unstoppable shot to the top left. Kovacic stole an ugly back pass and slotted it in for his in between. Mendy was fantastic, and was bailed out by the defenders when he was once out of position...
  14. That. Was. Beautiful. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. In season 1, I looked forward to the next episode because I knew a great episode was coming out. In season 2, I look forward to Friday because I hope a great episode is coming out. I still like this show (and love the Roy character)...but it has lost some consistency, IMO.
  16. I have no issues with the knife...but the cutting board *is* damn annoying...
  17. This right here. They both seemed more concerned about saying something "clever", rather than actually calling the game.
  18. Brisket (1 part salt, 2 parts pepper...225...wrap & rest when probes ready)...done *way* too early, today, so had to wrap & keep warmed for ~5 hours. Still came out pretty good...
  19. I'm so in. TAKE MY MONEY!!
  20. Happy to get away with a point after that shit. Also, i didn't see a replay of the last scuffle that got Mendy a yellow...anyone happen to catch it?
  21. To steal the ancient Surly wisdom: The cut of your jib. I like it.
  22. *shrug* That's probably fair. I wasn't whining in the sense that I thought this was the greatest stacking in history, or that I was scared of them...more a bit of jealousy and a reflection of the "damnit, why didn't we get Haaland" situation. If we could get half the attacking results, that those 3 may get this year...
