  1. Georgia, Michigan, Clemson, Ohio St.
  2. JFC this. A bunch of over the hill white dads trying to hype up the football team (all of whom were born after 2000) with played out arena rock. I mean why not just let Army Brat decide so the team can run out to Elvis or some doo wop song.
  3. Love the The Strangers, and 29 year old Liv Tyler can act however she wants in my book.
  4. Eataly is across town from me, and their instacart service is really great (we can usually place an order and have it delivered within an hour). All kinds of (overpriced) stuff I can’t find in normal stores, and I’m too lazy to walk to the local Italian specialty shops.
  5. Those ribs fuck for sure. I suck at food photography, but this was really tasty. Cooked down a bunch of peak season sungolds and heirlooms with basil, wild boar sausage, shallots and garlic. Finish with a knob of butter, pasta water and ricotta, topped with parm. Ugly but delicious.
  6. Lorenzo Joe, Jeremy Hills and Ben Wells. A real who’s who of Longhorn greats.
  7. Fly tbh. I think Amtrak is like 7.5 hours vs a 1 hour flight. The car ride is over 5 hours.
  8. Right. His first two real classes had high end talent at every position except Edge and interior defensive line, and the 24 class now has the #1 ranked Edge and is probably about to have a commitment from a 5 star interior defensive lineman. I’m as bearish on Sark as anyone, but his talent accumulation has been super impressive.
  9. If you watched the Oklahoma St and TCU games last year and thought, this head coach is doing well in all aspects of head coaching, I’m not sure what to say. But he’s done an incredible job of accumulating talent, no doubt about that.
  10. Brat has probably sent his grandkids like 25 emails this year alone with a subject line “FWD FWD FWD FWD FWD FWD FWD FWD:” about some combination of Hunter’s laptop, Hillary’s emails, Obama’s birth certificate and/or tan suit, or whatever else they are currently spoon feeding the masses. Probably not asking the right guy.
  11. It’s certainly hot in Texas, but I doubt weather will be a significant factor.
  12. The poster you quoted never said we are going to suck. That’s just a stupid football board straw man. Pointing out legitimate areas of concern while 90% of this board does their usual August swim in an ocean of practice report koolaid does not equate to “sucking”.
  13. There is a decent discussion about our football team and its possible flaws amidst the usual sea of “gained 20 pounds of muscle” and “the light finally came on”. That’s not a bad thing. If you prefer, just head on over to 9.95 to see some commitment tweets from recruits who never visited our campus while we wait for McKinley on 9/1.
  14. I’m somewhat with you. My biggest question mark for the year is Sark, but otherwise I would say it’s the below three things. I’m very hopeful on 1 and 2. Overall, this staff has done an incredible job of infusing talent all over this roster. 1. Ewers - can he make the necessary leap. Obviously supremely talented. He has an A+ play caller, A+ tackles, and A+ receivers; there is no excuse. I don’t love his overall vibe for a quarterback, but that could all be bullshit. I’m hopeful. 2. Interior Offensive Line - the woes are well documented. Bijan made a lot of chicken salad out of chicken shit last year. DJ Campbell obviously has NFL talent and in theory should be an improvement at RG, but a true sophomore is still pretty young on the offensive line. 3. Pass Rush - I’ll be surprised if we have anything better than a tepid pass rush (can Collin Simmons pull a Ewers and enroll now?). Fortunately our secondary should be very good if Catalon can stay healthy. This team should be able to out talent every team on our schedule other than Bama, but I’m from Missouri with Sark.
  15. It’s a little trendy/high end so Im not sure about a 10 year old, but abcv is awesome. Or just any Indian place.
  16. Williams would only play at Guard if Jones couldn’t slide to Guard. Williams is absolutely a better college tackle. I also feel like I remember Kent Perkins being much better than Hayden Connor, but I’ve tried to block that period out so I could be wrong. Otherwise, yikes that 2015 roster is ugly. The secondary in particular is holy shit bad.
  17. If we go worse than 9-3 with this talent and this schedule, buckle up for a nice run of mediocrity
  18. I assume the former, but I became a reader post-college, which was after the News acquisition.
  19. As an avid reader of the WSJ, I can confirm that their opinion section is suited for people with 2 digit IQs. It’s basically the Tyler Morning Telegraph opinion section with mass distribution. About once a year I accidentally read something so mind-numbingly stupid that I cancel my sub. They always get me back with some silly promo a few days later.
  20. Posted in the Vegas thread, but caught a nice little heater on Saturday at the Bellagio while flying high on mushrooms with four buddies. One of my friends was rolling. The rest of the table was going crazy, and could not understand why we were supremely more chill than they were. Each of us cashed out doubled up. Of course got wiped out the night before, so it was much needed.
  21. I remember thinking our line in 2018 being pretty decent with Anderson and Cosmi at tackles.
  22. I’m not really a Vegas guy, but was convinced to go with a couple guys this past weekend. Friday night was a typical shit show, but Saturday was a really fun day. 7:50 tee time at Paiute with incredible 70 degree weather. Took mushrooms around 2pm and played craps for a few hours at the Bellagio. After getting wiped on Friday night, all four of us doubled up at a great table and finished slightly up for the weekend. Went to some dim sum place to come down and relive the day. Flight back to the east coast was rough on Sunday. I’m getting too old for this shit.
