  1. A lot of wrong information about the Greathouse recruitment. I’m friends with a father of one of his hs teammates. Greathouse wanted to come to Texas, but early in the recruiting season Texas had him rated behind a few other guys. By the time Texas circled back around to him as a priority he was already locked into ND and Texas could not flip him.
  2. Wow, I can’t believe the Rangers got Bregman for less than the Astros offer. …JK
  3. Well of course. Look where he had to live.
  4. One bored Sunday I went back thru all the 4 and 5 star stats over many years and 4* was a 50/50 hit rate. 5* was 75%.
  5. Well I think this very simple description addresses all of the open questions floating around on this thread. Bring on the aliens. https://www.sciencealert.com/physicist-may-have-solved-the-grandfather-of-all-time-travel-paradoxes#
  6. I have small concerns about Flood. That OL in 2024 should have been much stronger in the run game. With that said, Campbell, Major, and Conner were all a little undersized. As I’ve posted elsewhere, I think there is a bit of a missing attitude on the whole offensive staff, including Sark, about imposing your attitude on the defense with the run game. They try to finesse the run game too much with misdirection and off-tackle, when they should also learn to execute basic off-guard quick hit plays better. Are there any Feb 5 surprises out there?
  7. This is not a joke. My last wishes include taking a Folgers can of my ashes and tossing them into the sea in Hawaii.
  8. In year’s past I was pretty negative on the techniques displayed by our CB’s. As a result I assumed Joseph was a B quality coach or worse. However, the defense this year was unbelievably good. I have a hard time making a change there given the results on the field this year. And they’ve secured just enough good CB recruits to hang in there as well. I guess if Sark knew of a clearly superior CB coach then maybe you make a move.
  9. Jeez, it’s like you all didn’t realize Kris was just acting out a scene from Seinfeld where Elaine shoves Jerry because she’s so happy and excited.
  10. Because I’m left-handed and I’m sick of the world ignoring my needs, so if I have to suffer we all have to suffer.
  11. Ate dinner out at a new restaurant, and ordered shrimp. It came in a thick, messy sauce with the shell and tails on. What the hell am I supposed to do with that? Any extra flavor from cooking in the shell is offset by the annoyance of having to spend ten minutes peeling shrimp and making a mess. Eff that.
  12. Recognizing we still need to make it thru the spring, the retention so far has been fantastic. While several of those guys on the list provide good depth, the only one on that list that really had the potential to break into a starting spot eventually and be a strong contributor is maybe Gullette. Maybe Mitchell but he hadn't shown it so far. Well done.
  13. What an incredibly insightful comment. Thank you for that.
  14. Jesus! If I project that to 2031, the end of his contract, they will be 1,326th in the country!
  15. Boots are given away. Thanks.
  16. This has got to be Kelly Mckenzie. Congrats on getting your life on track. Nice curveball at the end to try to throw us off.
  17. Legally it would be difficult for your former employer to go after you unless you signed an NDA that had a solicitation clause. However, with that said a former employer can make things very uncomfortable for you personally. Just because they won’t win in court doesn’t mean they won’t file a lawsuit anyway and force you to burn up a lot of legal expenses defending it. if you only take a few and stop, or space them out over time, you won’t get them worried about decimating their org and they likely won’t react.
  18. agreed, when we went to single basin we said never again to two sink. I don't know what farmhouse vs single basin demand is.
  19. I'm not sure. Some people still want the hardwood and I haven't been able to figure out yet how much of a deal that is for some buyers. However, I have LVP in my own house ($600-700k value) and I LOVE it. It's durable, looks good, and affordable. But some people will always opt for the perception value of hardwood. edit: what's the cost difference?
  20. After seeing your rough price points for the listing, I would only go Thor if the total additional cost impact is less than $3-4k. Rationale being that’s the most of a premium you’ll get in the price for the nicer look and feel that would come from Thor appliances. One note on the hood. Having a venting hood these days is a massive massive requirement. Why? Indians moving to the U.S. cook very spicy foods and almost all must have a venting hood. Otherwise, it smells up the house too much. A larger cooktop would also be appreciated by many as long as the cost isn’t too much more. On the farmhouse sink, I am amazed how passionate women get about their sink choices. It ends up being a major decision criteria for many. Spending a few bucks for one can have a very positive impact, although there will still be a few that like the old two sink setup.
  21. Stars always give up goals right after scoring.
  22. Just as long as this guy is back, nothing else matters.
  23. The right thing to do is not pull for either OSU or ND, not watch the game, not read about the result, and not give it any brain cycles at all. The pain from the semifinal is still too fresh.
  24. Can someone explain those classic car auctions you see on tv, like MavTV? They auction 1970’s muscle cars, like Camaros, Chevelle’s Pontiac’s, etc for ~$25-45k. Are these cars drivable? Can you get parts? What’s the downside of having one? I realize they don’t have safety features, etc.
