  1. We checked our Valor a few years back and it looked pretty awesome. If we weren’t already in the best elementary in RRISD I’d send our kids there. If I was in AISD and not in one of the language immersion campuses I’d far prefer it.
  2. Fwiw, I hear that Auburn was runner-up, not Georgia.
  3. I, too, would like to conduct myself in a manor.
  4. You know you’ve died and ended up in hell when Phelan’s speakership is the straw you have to grasp in the hopes that the Ledge isn’t full on moron. Long live speaker Briscoe Cain!
  5. I’m going to be wildly presumptive on this, but Nahlin has a type and he gets real excited about these Houston suburban kids with Dads who will talk to him. He was pushing Golden hard as a recruit (unofficial mouthpiece for family, imo) and Texas only half-heatedly came with a late offer after missing on some others (if I recall correctly, WR recruiting was kind of a mess that year). Anyway, that kind of red-ass usually seems to lend itself to an exaggerated sense of self-importance on the field and Golden doesn’t play like that AT ALL, particularly in a position group typically filled with prima donnas. I wonder if his parents are a little over protective of what they think their kid deserves, and he by comparison just wants to get after it on the field.
  6. Let’s be frank, I don’t think anyone is going to feel guilty taking a wait and see approach for yet another white kid from Westlake or Lake Travis. Don’t blame the messenger, blame Greg, Mack, and Squints.
  7. Some of that might be system oriented. It helps he’s had the same coach for the last four seasons, for example, and that Kwiatkowski a great coordinator without having the Manny Diaz like inconsistency that comes from trying to manage around inexperience (NIL are transfers are also to credit). That said, he’s gotten better every season and hasn’t dropped a fucking gimme interception against Tech.
  8. If you’ve not been, what’s incredible about December in that part of NYC is that is thousands of people, body to body, herding from one thing to another. Lots of groping and getting groped. Apparently @Bozo_Casanova is there NOT shooting UHC executives.
  9. I can’t tell if your post is tongue in cheek, but anyone with infantry training would have automatically put two in the chest, one in the head. That shit is on autopilot.
  10. I feel like he’s got to be intentionally fucking around for headshots to look like that, but then I see that all his photos are weird.
  11. I heard he was told “Alto o disparo!”
  12. Are you the poster that keeps repeating this, and thereby implying Kern is going to be Dicko 2.0? I don’t think we should be playing ANY freshman punter, ideally.
  13. I’m on the other side-if you want to beat up teams with strong defense you’ve got to pair that with a reliable punter. Particularly with the offense poised to be more inconsistent next season with the new lineman and TE.
  14. I think there’s a misunderstanding of how GOP politics tends to operate. They aren’t trying to use vouchers to improve education. At least in Texas, it’s an intermediate step on the way to use public funds for private religious schools and the proof that you only need a couple of committed west Texas billionaires to run a state.
  15. I think the economics of this are changing and it’s not settled. If Sydir Mitchell, for example, requires $250k annually to retain and doesn’t contribute until his fourth in the program, that’s basically $1m for a stud DT in the portal (presuming that’s available). I know it’s not that simple and there’s very much an appeal to bird in hand, I just don’t think we can predict with any confidence the best practice yet. Worse, each position is likely different (for example, I think pulling offensive lineman from the portal is clearly inferior to developing them, yet that’s because there’s so much continuity required in that position group).
  16. Yeah, I don’t know why that poster says it likes it’s a bad thing. Add to that the Kwiatkowski defense has a long history of using a LB/big safety hybrid effectively.
  17. Backlash from whom? Have you seen the voting patterns in Austin? My neighborhood went something like 75%-80% for Harris. The GOP gave up on earning votes from here 20 years ago. Even prior to that, Austin was “the people’s republic” for the majority of voters.
  18. If he ends up being that good at baseball it’ll be because he’s focusing on it at the detriment to football training, in which case he’s likely buried on the depth chart anyway. it does look like early playing time at LB will be a selling point for the ‘26 class.
  19. Eh, I will be shocked if Jonah Williams doesn’t end up at LB.
  20. I feel the same-I’m pro-Michigan to the extent that it’s not hindering excellence at The University and fucks over those couch terrorists in Ohio.
  21. @Crayon1973 is going to kill you in your sleep.
  22. I know the aesthetic here is kind of Hayes Fawcett’s thing, but Elko looks like he just came down from the mountains with severe frostburn and the kid’s as orange as an Oompa Loompa.
  23. This is why I only very reluctantly make referrals to insurers. When they are non communicative and a borrower complains to me about it I feel like Crash Davis shouting after the batter “I give you a gift and you stand here showing up my pitcher? Run, dummy!”
  24. I would love to switch out of Farmers because somehow we got signed up with some agent in Missouri City that we have zero connection with, but it’s just been cheaper than everyone else and we’ve been shopping for the last two years. We’ve got 1% wind/hail deductibles on our houses and that seems to be unavailable on new policies, too.
