  1. Hunter is really great. Too bad he's affiliated w/ Deion. Kinda like it is difficult to appreciate guys like Lamb, Broyles, Westbrook, etc. while they are affiilated w/ OU
  2. Daddy ball now confirmed. Immersed in greatness.
  3. https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/08/espns-comprehensive-college-football-coverage-kicks-off-with-dynamic-commentator-lineup-chris-fowler-kirk-herbstreit-and-holly-rowe-return-as-abc-espns-top-team/ Additional ESPN college football commentators returning this fall include rules analysts Bill LeMonnier (Saturday Night Football) and Matt Austin (all ESPN platforms, including SEC games), as well as play-by-play commentators James Westling, Jason Ross, Jr., Drew Carter, Roxy Bernstein, Richard Cross, Shawn Kenney, Beth Mowins, Doug Sherman and Ted Emrich, analysts Charlie Strong, Barrett Brooks, Charles Arbuckle, Tyoka Jackson, Forrest Conoly, and reporters Sherree Burruss, Marilyn Payne, Tori Petry and Ashley Stroehlein, among others.
  4. It will only get better with the addition of Charlie Strong. Just wait.
  5. And he feels comfortable with the ball in #2's hands. Esp. against this NFL defense.
  6. Wow - a good HC call - FG attempt.
  7. This is a Shed audition for the NFL. The 10-20 yard out, ad nauseum, on this drive. Could run for 1st down - pass.
  8. Deion's most relevant coaching experience is in TAPPS, where most of the dads (and some of the moms) have more inertia and OL capability than their kids
  9. Funny. If Deion had been remotely humble in 2023 and 2024 (we are rebuilding, young team, respect criticism), we'd all be cheering for them. Now, we want just enough success to survive an not enough failure for him to get shit-canned. We want him in eternal purgatory.
  10. Awesome. They do not even trust a Sanders-spawn to run for 1/3 yard
  11. Deion was interesting/compelling last year. Now, we all know he's a douche daddy-baller with thin skin. Not sure I know what I want a an outcome. Just good enough for him to survive. Just bad enough to support my anti-Prime academy bias. Lord, hear my prayer.
  12. Pre-Texas/OU SEC (Vandy notwithstanding) are a confederacy of dunces. Texas/OU additions will help, but not enough. And frankly, OU folks are clearly in the top-25%. Sports conference affiliation is no longer about status, intellect, research, geographies, etc. It's about dollars to the athletics departments. The fans we will encounter going forward will be more akin to NFL fans.
  13. Yup. None of the 3/2 ranches in NW austin selling for $500k are garnering $5k/mo rents (using the fairly common 1% rent rule).
  14. It was 59. In fact, some affectionately refer to 59 yards of offense as "1 Watson" in homage to the brilliance of OC Shawn Watson. I was self-loathing enough to go back and remind myself of the game. Texas's only scoring drive was a 44 yard drive that finished with a 9 yard TD run by Swoopes. Even with that run, Swoopes ended the game with -32 yards on 5 rushes. His overall offensive net was 25 yards though, given his 57 passing yards on 13-25 passing (1 INT). If you want to punish yourself further, here's the box score. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Texas_Bowl
  15. As a father with kids, I can assure you that my own kids crying was quite uncomfortable to me, as I knew something was up with the kid. When I am flying and hear kids crying, I immediately sympathize with the parents. It really sucks for them and moreso for the kid. I also thank God for inventing noise canceling headphones. That fucking guy could have saved himself the trauma (ha ha) and the public embarrassment by just planning - buy some cheap noise canceling headphones and no longer allow yourself to be "triggered." What an asshat.
  16. More details on Tan leaving the board are now leaking... https://www.reuters.com/technology/intel-board-member-quit-after-differences-over-chipmakers-revival-plan-2024-08-27/ The former CEO of chip-software company Cadence Design joined Intel’s board two years ago as part of a plan to restore Intel’s place as the leading global chipmaker. The board expanded Tan’s responsibilities in October 2023, authorizing him to oversee manufacturing operations. Over time, Tan grew frustrated by the company’s large workforce, its approach to contract manufacturing and Intel’s risk-averse and bureaucratic culture, according to the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly.
  17. I am having what appears to be a drain/vent problem in a home that was built in 1930s. In calling a plumber, they are requesting a Hold Harmless agreement in order to do the investigative work. Given the age of the house and the unknown scope, it seems reasonable. However, it also seems it allows for shoddy work. Presumably, I should get another plumber. However, it is weird that they are requesting this. Thoughts?
  18. Here's a release from KHOU https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/missing/missing-woman-austin-colorado-astros-pitcher/285-11d3c0a7-3583-4be8-8edb-7070dc65d879 Police in Klamath Falls, Oregon, said the two were driving through the town when officers identified the vehicle as stolen and pulled them around 12:37 a.m. Tuesday. Officers arrested Guidry on his outstanding warrant. They said Brenna showed no signs of injury or trauma. Before Tuesday, Austin police said Brenna, 29, had last been seen at 10:20 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 22, at Poodies Hilltop Bar in Spicewood, Texas. Police said she was with Guidry.
