  1. To do that with Laphroaig is the most offensive thing I’ve ever heard on this board. I was just at the distillery a few months ago and if the people there heard that they would ban your friend from the island.
  2. Fuck Señor Brock. He’s purposely doing this anti-Texas schtick and it’s tiresome.
  3. Oh thanks. Posting the same thing twice now makes me believe it. Awesome.
  4. Not sure I believe this.
  5. I’m curious as to why Muschamp just wasn’t a good head coach. Usually guys that smart and motivated should be able to succeed. I realize guys like PK were meant to be coordinators, but Muschamp was/is different.
  6. I stop in on an episode here and there. I can’t believe no one mentioned that Glaser used the word “like” about 500 times. Unlistenable garbage.
  7. Playing really well while also being had in the pass game is a pretty good trick.
  8. He did, but that was when the entire Texas recruiting machine was a broken disaster.
  9. After having a day to reflect on the DC change, I'm pretty excited to see how the new defense helps the offense. While the PK defense was very good, it's bend not break philosophy produced fewer possessions for the Texas offense, and less time on the clock. The Muschamp defense should produce more three and outs and quickly stalled drives, although they will give up more big plays. All of those things put the ball back into the hands of the offense more often. We have a ton of offensive talent, and if teams want to try and get into a scoring fest, bring it on. Sark will figure out his OL and RB issues, and by fixing those the WR's, who are still very good, will look much better. I'm good with this change, even if one of the reasons for it was PK getting tired of Sark's shit and wanting to go back west.
  10. So we ordered some tamales for Christmas, but they don't ship any sauce to go with them. In year's past, we always just put Wolf brand chili on top or eat them plain or with salsa. Does anyone have a good recipe to top the tamales?
  11. I’ve watched many friends get new knees, new hips, new wives, and lose interest in their careers, among other things.
  12. Not to generalize, because every man is different, but I noticed pretty big changes in men physically and mentally between the ages of 55 and 60. I do think it makes a difference often.
  13. How is this guy a three star with that offer list. I know an offer isn’t necessarily an offer, but it’s a long list.
  14. Correct. The rest of them never got caught.
  15. Yes. I remember Saban saying it. So maybe this all works out ok. And Muschamp was Sark’s first choice when he was hired. I much prefer more man coverage, and LB’s that wreak havoc anyway.
  16. I’m just going to assume PL was leaving and Sark had no choice. Fits the rumors.
  17. Was thinking about that. Texas under Sark have had a nasty habit of starting slow, playing catchup, then trying to hold off teams late. There’s been no killer instinct. And part of that is because PK defenses sit back and keep the ball in front of them to reduce big plays and force other teams to work their way downfield. For the most part, the Texas defenses have been very very good. But when they ran into aggressive teams, they struggled more. Maybe Muschamp does bring a little more edge to the D and they make more big defensive plays, and the team overall is more aggressive.
  18. Sark was so desperate to figure out why his offense sucks he hired the guy that kept stuffing it in hopes of learning something.
  19. So, Texas is going all in next year to try and win it all, and they think a brand new defensive scheme will be a fine component of that plan? Ok.
  20. Quite the surprise, or it isn’t. This board discussed a few months ago the rumors that PK was fed up with the Sark behavior issues. I don’t know if they were true, but this certainly raises questions.
  21. My friends with the boutique firms use me as a sounding board for evaluating their advisors. None have them have really done anything outside of typical asset allocation models, except for a few that have actually gone a bit rogue, and wrongly. So I’m very skeptical of the .6-1% charging crowd. But some people just aren’t comfortable doing it themselves so I guess it makes sense for them.
  22. I talked to a guy in the $10m club and his advisor had moved him pretty aggressively into gold and silver. He’s by no means in the elite wealth club, but it got me wondering whether some financial advisors like Morgan Stanley are doing a better job of asset allocation because they have a huge research organization behind them. When I asked several friends who use small boutique financial advisors, not one of them was told to diversify into metals. I manage my own money because I have a pretty strong investment background, so I didn’t have an adviser to ask. But it made me pause and wonder whether tying into a large firm with huge research resources could pay off financially.
  23. I think the world environment today has become much more negative with much more bullying, fighting, lying, etc. That’s due to social media, disinformation, and politicians, among other things. I used to think Surly/Shaggy was special because it was such a rough board, with people get hammered by posters. It was funny. Refreshing. Exciting. But, I think given the environment we have today as a country, which has turned so negatively, I’ve evolved my thinking. I feel we all need to take a step to be a little more kind to others. And that includes me. I used to flame posters pretty harshly and probably still do more than I should. But at least now I think more about being kinder to people.
  24. That’s exactly what Rex would say!
