    Not I. A buddy of mine went in to hunt and found a Shenks, but I don’t know the guy that got the Willet or the RR13.

    What's the over/under on games played here? 4.5? I'll be rooting like hell for the over, as he would be step function improvement to our play in the back end of our defense.

    Their Origin products should hit TX in the coming weeks, and those are all priced in the $50 range. I’m looking forward to trying expressions that are 100% Bardstown distillate.

    Not particularly. Weller Full Proof is sorta in the ballpark, and runs $250-$350 secondary.

    Yep. And I have zero qualms recommending it at that price point.

    Anyone here tried the Bardstown x West Virginia Barrel company collab? It’s a blend of MGP and Canadian ryes finished in infrared toasted barrels. It’s probably one of the best Bardstown collabs I have had in the last 3 years, if not ever. It’s flying under the radar, but it’s a head turner.

    Maybe one day people will stop assuming that a program’s historical prestige is the sole factor in the attractiveness of any given HC job. Program prestige isn’t unimportant, but Maslow’s hierarchy of needs tells us that prestige alone isn’t the end all be all for a lot of coaches.

    I could not disagree more. As I've tasted more and more things, Booker's only gets elevated in my mind. I've got no problem paying $90-$100 for the good batches. I had the 2022-03 on NYE and was a big fan.

    I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but I’ll just say that I love the product and abhor so much about how the process to get some of it has evolved. And I absolutely believe every asshole that got in line at any point before the store was open is to blame for a big part of that. The collecting, hoarding, and gloating is cringe worthy. I’ve been guilty of it myself in the past but I’m done with that shit.

    He definitely played better tonight than he played in any game post OU. He hit on 66% of his 47 passes and didn’t turn it over. That could have been 70%+ with another TD if X played anywhere near as great as he thinks he is. I was also happy to see him show a little more poise in the pocket, though he still has a tendency to bail on plays a beat too quick at times. Right now, Quinn is not good enough to overcome our lack of talent and inconsistency at WR, but there is reason to believe his ceiling is well north of where he’s at today. His football IQ is a big question mark, and could be something that prevents him from reaching the potential that everyone saw in HS. Sark needs to spend a lot of time with him in the film room and working on his footwork in the off season. He’s a work in progress, which is to be expected for any college QB with single digit starts under their belt.

    Casey Cain outplaying X was not a square that I expected to cover on my Alamo Bowl bingo card.

    So fucking pathetic. I don’t understand people that place that little value on their own time.

    I love bourbon. I hate bourbon fan culture. It’s almost exactly like collecting baseball cards was in the early 90’s, but with way more douchebags. The thought of getting in any line to buy whiskey is just ludicrous in my view. I haven’t bought a single bottle for my personal collection this year. I’ve pitched in on a number of bottles that we share as a group of 10, and frankly that’s going to continue to be my MO for a vast majority of releases.

    If you had visibility to the monkey’s NIL deal you wouldn’t be concerned.

    Well we know it’s not Arch. Any predictions for who it’ll be?

    Honey holes are extinct. At least in our general region (i.e., TX and surrounding states). You can’t convince me otherwise. People are too wise about how crazy people are for rare whiskey.

    So we’re probably in really good shape, but we might not be. That’s some top notch 9.95’ing right there.

    Since when did those have anything to do with what gets discussed in any given thread? I bet there are 100+ posts pertaining to cheese in here, none of which pertain to monkeys, strippers, or 5 stars.

    Why do we care? I’ve never understood the angst over the number of stars someone is rated. The offer list says a lot more about the quality of the prospect, assuming those offers are all committable. Is it a matter of believing that our class rating says something about the equity of our brand? FWIW, I suspect it’s a function of him being a quiet kid that doesn’t provide as many sound bites. I’m not saying that’s the only reason, but it’s happened before where kids that keep things quiet don’t get a lot of love from the services that live and die by clicks and subscriptions.

    My lotto ticket take was rooted in the “don’t worry about the numbers” mindset. If we’re dealing with a finite number of portal takes, you don’t take Catalon at the expense of a quality player with much greater odds of playing 10-12 games next year.
  25. RichUT
    Taking Catalon as a lotto ticket would be understandable, provided that’s not plan A to address our lack of depth at Safety. I’m super skeptical that he’ll play meaningful snaps again, but maybe the stars align for a final hurrah.
