THUJONE

Just had a Maribeth chicken biscuit at Hypnotic Donuts, so we gettin' errbody.

I would if there was something to click on that wasn't gobbledy-gook.

Big, if true.

I can't believe we're all excited over that bemulletted John Daly looking motherfucker. I mean, he's great. But still.

I gotta say re: Sark. I really think he got hypnotized during August ball. It's tough to know how good you really are when it's your 1s vs 1s. They might bash each other's brains out but there's no objective measure for how good they actually are. The hits are just as hard, there's just as many standout plays as August camp at Bama. But it's fools gold because all your players are at a lower level than those at Bama. I think just as Charlie realized the Mack roster was woefully under skilled when games started being played, so did Sark. There was one game where the camera's caught Sark doing a Torbush ("Wow") on the sideline after we got our dicks punched for the umpteenth time. I truly don't think the coaches realized how bad we were. And that became a vicious cycle: The coaches thought we were fine going into the season and that carried over to the players attitudes and effort. Everyone was miscalibrated for the realities of the team they were. It's not an excuse. That's on everybody. But it is fixable once you see it. And by all measure, it's very clear to Sark now what the reality is. Apparently it's been reported that in team meetings he's told them that this offseason is going to be an absolute beating. That tells me he didn't come in and lay down the law so to speak, when he first arrived. Again, on him--but a mitigating factor is that I think he assumed (wrongly) that this roster was full of football players who wanted to play football and not *play* football players for six days a week, then phone it in on Saturdays. He doesn't strike me as a guy who won't change ala Chuck and Herman. I think Sark is smarter than them and it is showing during this offseason with the moves he's putting down. Even though he isn't in Mensa.

So we're getting errbody. Got it.

Holy shit.

Just say his name, dickhead.

Nahlin explicitly said Watts was a late development and NOT the guy they were talking about coming through the portal.

Was it foster who did the filming? Also - I really had high hopes for Adimora. Damn.

Extremely fake. not sure if serious.

Lucky's in Dallas as well as All Good Cafe have tremendous CFC.

How DARE you. It was obviously Surly's CFS v CFC debate that is bringing Ewers home so why don't you shut your fucking whore mouth.

I'm getting a very strong big-fish-qb-out-of-the-portal vibe from both IT and roach.

Hey you guys-- here's a link to my next novel. Sort of Hitchhiker's meets Red Dwarf meets a butt plug. Tor.com just did the cover reveal and it has links to pre-order. If you are in the buying mood, I suggest the print version. There is some fun formatting that plays best on paper. https://www.tor.com/2021/12/07/cover-reveals-stringers-by-chris-panatier/

Boom time.

ALL CASH NO BRAKES

How do we not get every elite o-lineman now? 50 fucking thousand? Fuckin baller!

Relevant to Ewers because now maybe if he comes here he won't die.

Holy shit new O-lineman NIL. Tax deductible for donations. $50k a year for every lineman. To start.

IT has a pretty nice bit of positive news on Ewers from a "high profile recruit".

Do we not get Arkansas at home?

Yes and it goes to show just how dumb they are. There was already an uneven playing field with us on the downslope side. It was just a dark money, illegal playing field. They were fine with that so long as it wasn't "uneven" out in the open. Fuck them. Now it's legal and the NCAA can fuck right off if the see-saw flips.

@closetojumping said eventually it's a $300 million thing

Obvi wouldn't work like that. They'd receive the money. Theirs forever. Yearly deal. If you're not on the team, you're not renewed. Pretty simple.
