  1. Appreciate the post but I refuse to listen to anything that comes out of that face.
  2. David really didn't deserve him. lol, fuck that. That's insane. Glad we didn't match, that would be ridiculous. You actually pay by the pound, so you've got this backwards. Bobby and Gerry have said that he is being recruited as a linebacker and expressly not being recruited as an edge. I think the plan is for him to play OLB who can come in on pass rush packages, similar to the role currently played by Moore. Although the term "edge" has become extremely confusing to me, so it's hard to know exactly what Bobby and Gerry meant. But Bobby said he is not being recruited as an edge.
  3. SWEET RELEASE, WE FINALLY GOT ONE
  4. Most of you will be familiar with this annual publication authored by @Scipio. I buy the hard copy every year and give it to my dad, who collects all the other annual publications. After I read it of course. Hard copy is here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG88KY48 E-version: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1801762
  5. Fucking Florida https://247sports.com/college/florida/article/florida-football-gators-recruiting-commitment-four-star-defensive-lineman-kendall-guervil-251440835/
  6. I assumed it was either this or the fact that there's only one pot of money, whether you push it to NIL or to revenue sharing. If there's $30 million in the pot, but $20 million into rev share and $10 million into NIL. Maintaining the current roster has eaten up a lot of money that would have otherwise gone to high school recruits. But I'm not sure that can be right. Can't the school now kick in money? If we were all donor supported before, we should have an extra $20 million from the AD's budget to play with. My "one pot" idea only makes sense if the AD isn't kicking in any money and it's still all donor supported, while other schools are using donors and AD money. I'm probably not explaining this very well - and I certainly don't know what I'm talking about - but the gist is that I am also confused and trying to figure out what the problem is.
  7. 0) Long form analysis of David Lynch's oeuvre with a focus on Twin Peaks
  8. Tua is concussion prone and Zach Wilson fucking sucks. There is no way they're cutting Quinn.
  9. Kid's highschool mascot is The Longhorns and school colors are black and burnt orange. Put him in the calculator.
  10. It's Suchomel. No one here is going to take it all that seriously. The "South Austin's Mom" jokes are pretty tired, but this was a good one. Clever, novel, delightfully non-sequitur.
  11. I interviewed Peri Gilpin (Roz from Frasier) for the O. Henry newspaper when I was in 7th grade. She was also very nice.
  12. Fat and/or ugly chicks need love too, dude
  13. Dude is absolutely fucking roasting those sheep fuckers on twitter.
  14. The game is "Is she hot?," not "Would you do her?" - those are two completely separate questions. I would obviously fuck prime Susan Sarandon. I have done far, far worse. But I just don't see why people consider her to be some sort of beauty. She's got...saggy eyes? Not sure how to describe it. Same thing with Betty Davis and Elizabeth Moss. Who I would also fuck but do not consider to be beauties by any means. I'm still in trust the corches mode. I hope we don't blow our bank matching Florida for Geurvil. We already have several DTs in the boat. I know there is a premium on DL from high school because it's extremely difficult to pull good ones from the portal, but I think that money could be put to better use. Let's circle back on some of our misses at other positions and see what happens when we up our offer. But whatever the staff decides to do, I've got faith.
  15. She is 54 in that picture. I think her ass has held up pretty good. Susan Sarandon. Even her prime, I just cannot see what people are talking about. Nice tits though.
  16. He's a troll. It's a bit. You know how he is literally always wrong? The only way to give the wrong answer that consistently is to know the right answer and say the opposite.
  17. I hate to admit this and will probably regret saying it, but I am very much in "trust the corches" mode. The staff has given us every reason to be confident that they will close on the guys they need and will pull most of the guys they want. Until they show us otherwise, I'm not sweating a thing.
  18. It’s actually a low-end sports bar and restaurant, a knock off of Hooters. I’m surprised you don’t know this
  19. I talked to a couple of BYU fans about the Retzlaff situation. They said if the school thinks he's guilt of sexual assault, they will axe him without question. Whether you think it's because they believe in their honor code or just cynically trying to protect their image, they have zero tolerance for even a hint of that sort of thing. But if the school is inclined to believe his defense, they expected something less than expulsion but more than a slap on the wrist. What's interesting is that they said the school would be more lenient with him about premarital sex because he's not a Mormon. If dude was LDS, his punishment would still be expulsion. But because he's Jewish, the school will view it as more of a breach of contract than a sin. Like, that BYU's admin wants non-LDS students and understands that their shit is a bit kooky to outsiders. I will say, these fans thought it would be a three game suspension and that Retzlaff would just miss the non-con. So I'm not sure what to think about a 7-game suspension.
  20. Getting myself back on track - I was listening to the most recent OTF livestream and Bobby kept saying that Calicut had committed to Texas but that it was a "private commitment" that didn't go public. So I'm guessing Calicut was one of Gerry's "hi" comments and it hasn't panned out. So now we're down to two silents who have yet to announce, am I remembering that correctly? It's also frustrating that silent commitments still aren't worth shit, even with NIL deals on the table.
  21. You're a real fucking poet, Sydney. There's a lot of theories, but I'm of the opinion that Dougie Jones would have the best chance of winning. He is Cooper's good heart and childlike wonder distilled into a person, without any of the anger, arrogance, or vengefulness that Cooper occasionally displayed. Remember the scene in season 1 where Cooper has has Hawk and Harry help him use the "Tibetan method" to find clues - basically throwing rocks at bottles while he thinks about people? That's an example of Cooper trying to be like Dougie (even though Dougie didn't exist yet). Dougie is like a divining rod for fate and the forces that control the universe. So if any human from the Twin Peaks universe has a chance at beating Muad'Dib, it's Dougie. But if Dougie won, it would only be because that's what the universe wants to happen - Dougie has no will of his own. He's just vibing, going along with the flow, as a conduit for the forces of good. Tulpa Cooper is the opposite of this - he's all the bad things from Cooper distilled into a person. All the bad impulses without any of the restraint. He's more sophisticated than Dougie - smarter, driven, capable, forcing things to follow his will. But he's at odds with the universe, and for that reason is always fated to fail. That's why, to me, Cooper is such a compelling character. He has the forces of good and evil within him, but is aware of himself and those forces. By acknowledging them, he is able to act thoughtfully and choose which side of himself he'll allow to win. And he consistently chooses the side of good, even when it hurts him or forces him to forgo something he wants. This stands in stark contrast with many of the other characters, most notably Laura Palmer, who is an excellent foil for Cooper. She has immense good and evil within her, but he doesn't know herself and consistently indulges those evil instincts. Which allows her to fall under Bob's sway. That's also why she's such a prize to an entity like Bob - she has so much good in her, which makes her suffering and self loathing when she's evil that much greater. To Bob, that's the best form of sustenance (i.e., garmonbozia).
