He's going to get passed up by the 2019 kids quickly
Spin down candidate? I think Leon is screwed regardless. Not twitchy, stiff hips, and slow. Nice high school player that was routinely exposed against good competition.
Normally I'd wish a Cy- kid well, but i hope Leon is out of football sooner rather than later.

After Larceny, I think I'm going to go Baby Saz in the barrel next then Elijah Craig. It should be a nice little experiment, a wheater, a rye, and bourbon named after a Baptist minister.

Gbenda is the kid you slow play and then regret it later in the cycle when he was there for the taking. I’m good with the take if it is him.
I'm basically there. I want to see senior film first. Keep him warm, close quickly if the film is good.

So a Texas mod that's a SMU grad that's really a NYU sock? Did I get this right?

SO EJ is an Aggy-Surly troll/ Deep SMU State Plant or a legitimate Texas Recruiting Analyst? It's certainly debatable at this point.

This must be from Tarp article about none of the incoming freshman making any kind of early impact.
The title of said article : "A&M freshmen aren't making big impact, and that's a good thing"
One of the more Tarpish articles I've read in a long time. It's 7 paragraphs of circular logic. Basically the freshmen aren't better than the upperclassmen, but the upperclassmen are laying the foundation for a championship team. And I'm cross eyed.

What is everyone's thoughts on Gbenda? His hudl looke pretty impressive IMO. Looks good sideline-to-sideline and plays good agains inside runs. Yeah he needs to add weight to his 212 lb. frame.
Based on his size, he's your cliche TCU LB. If he were a better athlete, this would be a really easy take.

It's gotta be Wilson. Amirite?

Have we done a poll ranking your favorite bourbons under $30? 750 ml. say ten or less. rank them please. bourbons only - no ryes, sour mashes, moonshines, extra staves, port or sherry finish bullshit. here's mine:
buffalo trace
weller 12 (yeah, I know you cant get it for this, but technically it's an under $30 bottle)
knob creek
makers mark
Elijah craig
er10
four roses (small batch)
bulleit
woodford
larceny
Not a great list without Weller Antique, I hope it was an oversight. A prerequiste, I'm very Sazerac/Buffalo Trace biased. I just love the company, and they almost never go wrong. They understand their market.
1) Weller Antique
2) Weller 12
3) Eagle Rare 10
4) Buffalo Trace
5) Elijah Craig
6) Woodford (call it an affinity based on desperation. Woodford is the best bottle in far, far too many restaurants, but it's still pretty decent.)
7) Larceny
8.) Four Roses (the Single Barrel is really good, and would be no. 4 on this list if included.)
9) Knob Creek
10) Bulleit
11) Maker's Mark (honestly I think the hype is based completely on the packaging. )

Yes. That’s a good bottle
Overpriced or fair?
Plenty of complaints about WhistlePig price gauging.

Fascinating article on Buffalo Trace and their current/future plans, scroll down to the part about "Warehouse P":
Very, very cool stuff.

No, because Giles is actually a good coach. The Marine sucks at both.
This.

Hire a recruiting ace to "coach DEs" and let Giles do his thing when they get on campus.
He's a great coach, poor recruiter. None of this new. Herman can either get Giles some help, or replace him. Surely if we understand this, Herman does as well.

Do we have any idea on Owens' position? I'm cool with him as a defensive athlete take. I'm not sold on him at safety.

Could be Tyler Owens or the RB from Georgia. Probably not the RB though, given that he hasn't visited, to my knowledge.
Or a 2020, like Mookie Cooper
I'm praying it's Mookie.

Thanks fellas.
What do y'all recommend for an entry level WhistlePig? I'm thinking this is a pretty good start: https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/american-whiskey/rye-whiskey/whistlepig-10-yr-private-barrel-select/p/177225750?s=516&igrules=true

Some of those "possibilities" are so ridiculous, I can't even...

Such an easy drinker.
That basically sums it up.
Has anybody had the Eagle Rare 17? I've read disappointing reviews.

An A- and a B+ rye. The difference is at least $100.

Just “barreled” a handle of Larceny. I’ll open it again after Texas-Maryland kicks.

I'll probably do a Poor Man's Pappy soon, so it can sit for a month before USC.
The most intriguing experiment is Stagg Jr. I've thought about about opening it up, barreling it, or decanting it.
