Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I realize it’s folly to rely on high school recruiting evals for a player in year four, but I’d really like to know what upside Stroh is offering over Neto. It would seem like experience would at least teach the more senior player to at least execute the blocking scheme.

Media/$9.95-er postgame analysis articles (Week 3)
I think it’s obvious they really would have liked another year with Williams but that doesn’t explain weak shit interior play for three years running. If it was released that DJ Campbell was actually deaf and couldn’t hear snap counts it would help explain a lot. Those Bama lines that got Sark and Flood the Texas jobs were mostly recruited under Brent Key, who’s clearly a badass.

The Democratic Party
Slight correction-Talarico falsely believed that VOTERS want to elect someone who, morally speaking, is “good”. And it’s not totally unfounded, but it’s at odds with a GOP that has the high ground on “good” with older low information voters and the MAGA/MAHA/young low information voters have been fed a diet almost purely of empty, showbiz and social media calories for so long that they can’t tell sincerity from bullshit, expertise from idiocy, and lies from truth.

who lives in District 10 and wants McCaul gone?
Sarah Eckhardt should run for the seat.

If Framber was being paid by Seattle and Texas to throw games it would look a lot like his performance the last month.

The Long Walk (in development}
The reviews have hailed it as devastating and a superb adaptation of the book-kind of like The Road, for me once was enough.

Texas vs UTEP - 3:15pm on SECN
I’ve been focusing on him all game and that’s the fourth play I’ve tracked on which he blocked air.

Eh, I don’t think the Texas Senate primary is going to better reward a “clear the field” candidate. More the merrier. Plus Talarico has zero sex appeal. Maybe a little of Beto’s energy will rub off on him.

2024-2025 Houston Rockets thread - Prepare for Liftoff 🚀 [Now Featuring Kevin Durant]
If Durant would take more three’s that would be a big help. He shouldn’t be taking half as many as Curry.

I thought that was a deliberate reference to white nationalist iconography, no? Who is this admin will fire him for that?

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
He hit fine in the first half, particularly in July; I think some of it is fatigue. I feel like Fangraphs or someone on the Crawfish boxes wrote an article a few years back about Altuve adjustments (basically pulls everything, trading BA for power but that it worked for him despite diminishing bat speed). I think it's clear that he needs to go back to the laboratory over the offseason because he's an out machine right now.

The Democratic Party
I'm sure this isn't a novel thought, particularly here, but the filibuster should have been abandoned in 2022. At this point, there's no reckoning to come for the party that abandons it first.

The Democratic Party
I posted the text version and summary earlier in the thread. He thinks the Dems should use a shutdown as leverage to restore cuts to Medicaid or to enforce corruption hearings. I’m on team shut-down and don’t really see that the Dems have anything to lose. The right will blame them for the shut down, they will blame them for funding cuts they fought against, they will blame them for Trump’s miscellaneous failures of character, etc. We can’t keep pretending there’s a way to reason with today’s GOP that results in a compromise. I’m going to start sounding like @Brisketexan, but it’s win the public or go ahead and be a collaborator like Vichy France. Step one is proving to Dem voters that their representatives are willing to do more than make public statements and enjoy the big shot treatment from Congressional staff.

Houston Astros 2025 Season Thread
I think he's more lead by example. The dawning reality is that the team lacks the horses and was very lucky in the first half. They also don't appear to have any of that 2020 magic in which you could keep faith they might get hot and turn it around. If you start digging into the team stats it's more surprising they aren't in third. Arizona actually has a better run differential and they are a game below .500. I'll leave it to @Wulaw Horn or @Snake Diggity to research the best targets, but they need to an outfield version of Isaac Paredes who will grind out at bats and get on base.

Alien TV series. Hawley. FX.
This was probably the weakest episode for me and relies on too many of the characters acting in inexplicably dumb ways to table set the xenomorphs going bananas.

I'm a little impressed that someone has the fine motor skills to write all that on a bullet casing.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
I’ve long held the hope that the typical summer buying cycle might be disrupted if rates fall into attractive territory, but I will share something with the board that’s the benefit of having 40 years of experience either in the industry or growing up under someone in it. Forget about interest rates, affordability, what the Fed might do, etc. Nothing compares to employment uncertainty when it comes pulling buyers off the market.

You think Crane gives a shit about who says mean things about him in the Chronicle and sports radio to their hundreds of listeners?

That's the TexAgs I'm talking about! Now do SEC Rant!

Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
I’ve been going back and forth on this-I think the fact he appears to have only taken the single shot might argue against military training. Most Marines (non-sniper variety) would have had drilled in to put two in the chest before trying for a head shot.

USMC used to rifle qual at 500 with iron sights. If the shooter has a good scope that's zero'd in it shouldn't be too hard a shot for someone with experience.

Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
You need only visit TexAgs, Tiger Droppings or SEC Rant to see ample evidence that any just rewards haltingly celebrated here is far, far less common than the gleeful rejoicing at every "Libtard" tear, every indignity complained of by a person of color, or sexual/gender orientation, every boiled over frustration at the hypocrisy of the right. And those, presumably, are the educated ones. I'm not sure why we should hate getting burned but the arsonist is off limits.

Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
She wouldn’t be running against Trump. Paxton, for example, ain’t got that kind of rizz.. That’s old school thinking and not learning the lessons from the victors. You don’t make friends with Rogan, you antagonize him relentlessly. You can be friendly with Theo Vonn and others in that same demographic group, but if you want clout you need a villain.

I don’t see how that’s good for mortgage rates.

Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
Devil’s Advocate-Talarico (or candidate X) may need the experience and network building opportunity of running in a higher profile race in order to have a better chance of winning something less high profile (Texas AG or comptroller or Ag Commissioner). I do think the future of the party in the state is running younger candidates without the imprimatur of Ivy League education that veil themselves in being business friendly.
