  1. Nahlin was pretty adamant this morning that he will declare. Source off!
  2. Playing devil‘s advocate, all the way back to the hornfans days we all complained that Akina couldn’t coach zone to save his life. Plus, at the end he was pretty much on his own program instead of trying to mesh the backs with what the front seven was doing. Which, of course, sounds a lot like our current complaints.
  3. That rumor sounded far-fetched to me, anyway. You’d have to have enormous balls to trade away Framber AND Peña and I’ve seen nothing from Brown that suggests he’s a risk-taker (or, maybe a less critical reading would be that I’ve seen nothing to suggest he’s empowered to take risks).
  4. Also, great soundtrack. Chris Evans’ performance is one of MY favorite performances in film history (I’m not holding it up there as a marvelous display of “ACTING!”, but he’s wonderful and it was unlike anything I’d seen from him previously). The other thing is that fucking cast, man, it’s just an all-star team of some of the best scene stealers from around the world. I would have loved to watch Boyle and his casting director just mixing and matching those parts during the auditions with the casted actors.
  5. I don’t know what a DB recruiting witch looks like (I would have said Corey Raymond but then Florida happened) but it appears Joseph has gotten commitments from our top CB picks. Is there some blue chip he missed out on that would indicate weakness there?
  6. I always thought he was a complementary offer to entice Bryce Anderson, anyway, and if he was a good program guy he’d be useful depth. Otherwise he’s kind of a UTSA level athlete.
  7. The money is going to be there for Davis; if he’s gone it’s for a promotion or a change of scenery. That said, I’d probably kick the tires on someone like Chris Rumph rather than Franklin Okam or Rod Wright who have done okay but haven’t apprenticed under a defensive mastermind/sociopath like Saban (I don’t think Rhule counts even if he started his coaching career on defense).
  8. This-two nights, three max if you’re going to get out of the quarter. I infrequently make the mistake of staying an extra day just because a great reservation becomes available and it never ends up worth it. I’m always pretty sick of eating and drinking by then and there’s only so much antebellum house porn I can stand. I’d make the same claim about Charleston but that would need to go on the recruiting thread…
  9. No way a team competing for a championship with a 4th year Heisman candidate QB is going to run out a WR grouping that is Golden and four dudes that are green sophomores or true freshman. They are going to add someone and/or go portal shopping.
  10. As much fun as it is grabbing a prospect that Aggie really likes, Tennessee already has Staes on their roster and that presumption would make a switch all the more satisfying. Also, their color of orange sucks.
  11. That was my first impression-that this kid would actually satisfy the academic progress requirements is either a testament to his perseverance or an indictment on the academic rigor of A&M and LSU.
  12. The fact they have dropped back this many times with zero holding calls is either terrific luck or bad officiating.
  13. I think both parties align with fuck Ted Cruz.
  14. I’ve probably written on this more extensively on the other thread but we use Zillow to find tenants. That said, it’s going to be hard if you’re out state. If it were me I’d probably ask my agent or maybe @UTPhil2006 for a Houston referral (if you didn’t use an agent previously) for someone who would be willing to show the house upon request for a fixed amount. If you have a good tenant they may be willing to do that for you but it won’t maximize your chances of finding a good tenant (tenants renting SFR want to meet the owner). Another fee arrangement might be to have them handle showings for half a months rent (that’s always seemed steep to me and might be a reason to try to negotiate the compensation based on lease length-if they sign a 24 month or longer lease that half month in rent doesn’t feel so onerous). On the bright side, most agents right now are currently starving to death so you might be able to pay them in beer and Best Buy coupons. Also, I said this on the other thread but spend whatever it takes to get great photos. Probably 40%-50% of the Zillow listings have cell phone photos and it’s just not the same. Another thought-our property in Houston (Memorial) hasn’t appreciated anywhere close to what our Austin properties have-I know that interest rate is terrific and I’d feel similarly disinclined to let it go, but I think another question you need to be asking yourself is to try to forecast the likely rate of appreciation (I like to use the Texas A&M real estate center data). Make it a math problem.
  15. That sucks, thanks for sharing. He was on absolute fire in that film and also a terrifically fun Benjamin Franklin. I've never had the courage to watch In the Bedroom--after watching Michael Clayton I knew Wilkinson's performance of anguish could easily break my heart.
  16. Everything I’ve had there tastes wonderful when the weather is nice.
  17. Along those same lines, it’s on in the headquarters building or lobby area of pretty much every US military base or VA facility in which I’ve visited (the exception was Balboa Naval Hospital which had on CNN). Maybe hard or not worth the trouble of enforcing it, but that could be changed with an executive order. There was a long article in The Atlantic recently about our exaggerated faith in the military to corral a President‘s worst impulses and how close Trump came to installing supporters at the top of the DOD. They suggested a present absence of civics education also makes service members far more susceptible to the misinformation on Fox News.

    Italian

    Piling on, I think the original food truck is underwhelming, too. Everything was greasy and had all of the subtlety of a Papa John’s. I’ve never understood the appeal except for the novelty of eating Italian out of a truck.
  19. When he was really awful was in the spring before any purported injury. I’m not seeing anything in the statcast data that supports a reduction in bat speed different from June when his bat woke up. Anyway, I’m not trying to make a hill to die on; I supported the signing at the time and I still think it was the best call in hindsight.
  20. You’re presuming Abreu would make that third year negotiable. The Astros can’t just insist he sign a contract with their preferred terms. Abreu appeared to be the best possible signing at the time and pretty much every other available free agent 1B underperformed. I’m also a little suspicious of the “he was hurt” story. Sounds too much like “I spoke with Strom and I was tipping pitches” that comes out whoever someone gets lit up.
  21. They didn’t explain that and I hope they never do. There’s this modern fixation with telling prequel stories and over explaining everything that flies in the face of 3000 years of story telling tradition.
  22. I wanted to rebut the OP but @TwiceHornalready hit the main points-it’s hard to take valid claims of “CR loonacy” without citations.
  23. Ah, thanks for the reminder for those halcyon days when board posters would proclaim Jackson a generational QB talent second only to Tebow.
  24. Interesting how much they stepped up the intensity of the violence.
