  1. The only thing frustrating about silent commits is that people still talk about them. They have always meant and will always mean exactly fuck all.
  2. Gary Robinson runs the pro shop at Highland lanes and those guys know their shit. He’s got several dudes trained up really well. Tony or Ramon also do a great job if Gary isn’t working, but Gary is there much more often than not.
  3. Special is too strong of a word. I should have put boutique exclusive in quotes, as I think it’s probably just a slight derivation from what’s widely available through any AD retail shop. But it gives them something they can claim is unique. It has a forest green dial that I had a hard time capturing with my iPhone camera. Here’s their image: It also came with the green rubberized strap and then they threw in the calf strap that is in my original picture. It’s a standard Luminor at the end of the day. I know the movement isn’t done in house and Panerai tends to be shit on by the elite watch enthusiasts, but I’ve always loved the ID and I’m happy to have it as a more casual option.
  4. Picked this up today. Boutique exclusive in Barcelona.
  5. Michael Williams anyone? While not on the level of most mentioned so far, his HS tape was reel after reel of hit sticks. I was positive he was destined for greatness.
  6. Call me crazy, but I prefer my Basketball Recruiting thread to have more updates on.....recruiting.
  7. 1924 and KoK taste nothing alike. I am frankly befuddled by the love for 1924. I got one of the first batch of bottles and thought it was absolutely nothing to write home about. Isn't it essentially just a rebranded Early Times?
  8. That makes more sense then. For me, it's a bit apples and oranges to compare the experience at Willet and the experiences at BBC. And different people will come away with different thoughts about which one is better based on their own preferences. The main takeaway is that you should do them both.
  9. Tell me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company without telling me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company. The bar at Willet is excellent, but you're doing it all wrong if you aren't making time for BBC. The restaurant and the whiskey library tasting experience should not be missed.
  10. Are our pets’ heads falling off or not?
  11. He was good, but ultimately not good enough. An important player in changing the trend line of the program, and he left it all out on field. Hook 'Em Quinn.
  12. You're being a massive cunt.
  13. I've been vocally critical of Quinn since he came back from the injury, but a lot of the these comments are fucking pathetic. Quinn was the reason we were even in that game. That was a really good D and they won a healthy majority of the 1 on 1 battles. You hang this loss around Sark's neck for going completely brain dead at the 1. Quinn was a flawed player but he left everything on the field tonight.
  14. And that’s on Sark, so we’re clear. That 2nd down call was an all time terrible call. Just atrocious.
  15. And that’s how it ends. Tragic.
  16. Game on the line Quinn has entered the chat.
  17. That third down throw sailed because they managed to get pressure despite rushing 3. I think Cam got beat inside and there was no way to step into it.
  18. Good job seeing the pressure and knowing he had to go hot. He’s been far from perfect, but we’re in the fight despite the fact that we’re generally doing a shit job of beating the guy across from us on most plays.
  19. Time to give up on that idea. Arch hasn’t seen meaningful live action in 3 months. It’s not going to happen here.
  20. I know nothing about our basketball NIL but I can't imagine the money wouldn't be there if/when needed. But the people providing it want to feel like the ROI will be there, and I don't think RT inspires confidence that it will be.
  21. You are trivializing that season to suit your narrative by focusing on how it ended. Terry took over before conference play, held the team together, won the Big 12 tourney (emphatically), and had the deepest tourney run we'd had in 15 years. And every player on that team stumped for him to get the job, iirc. For the record, I had real reservations that he would be able to sustain that performance, as did many others. There was no home run option out there, which meant that every possible hire carried a level of risk.
  22. It's a virtuous cycle. Better players want to feel confident that they are going to be developed and prepared for the next level. That takes a great coach. You can get a few mercenaries if you're willing to pay stupid money, but that's not a recipe for sustained success.
  23. Show you work. CDC makes the coaching hires, last I checked. I could infer that you are suggesting there was a mandate made (presumably by Hartzell), but I seriously doubt he'd take such a strong stance. More likely it was a decision that the two of them arrived at together. My experience with people at the C-level of any organization is that they try really hard not to tell their leadership team who to hire/fire. That sort of thing would make our AD job a hell of a lot less attractive.
  24. I'm a decade younger than CDC and could easily retire if I wanted to. But I'd be bored and I like making money. You said "Decisions made out of fear are rarely good ones" (among other things), which I could only assume was pointed at CDC's decision to hire Rodney Terry due to the optics of making a different decision. Go ahead and tell me what I got wrong there and then I'll give some thought to fucking off.
