  1. Just something I found helpful/comforting via Rebecca Solnit: They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving. You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward. A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones. People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it's sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.

  8. lol… he has probably made $50mm+ since 2009. If they keep paying me and I like what I do, I’m going to keep doing it.

  10. Well, my mom made it two months to the day of this post. She passed away on Friday, 9.20.24. We will miss your more than you know, but are happy you are no longer in pain and no longer suffering. While there is some relief of stress for the family and my dad. We have got to keep an eye on him, as taking care of her was his main focus the last 16-months or so. We have him coming into Austin next weekend to go to the Miss St. game with us. Kinda numbing, and now on to deal with planning the funeral and coordinate with extended family and friends. Keep fighting the good fight y'all. I know its tough, and sucks a much of the time, but for every case like my mom's someone else is beating this thing. So keep fighting! Fuck Cancer!

  16. I mean I agree to an extent... I guess I was just pushing back on these guys being the 01 Ravens or some shit. 3 potential 1st round picks on the DL can mask a lot of other deficiencies. I just feel like if those guys don't absolutely destroy our OL (which is very experienced and has at least one 1st rounder as well) then we have the significantly better athletes and football players nearly everywhere else when talking O vs D. QE has normally balled out in games like this, and if he is dropping dimes then I just don't see how we aren't scoring, and more snaps should equal better results for the offense as Michigan's D wears down (assuming their O doesn't come alive.)
  17. Am I taking crazy pills? Better athletes than 2022 Alabama? You guys are fucking cooking this morning. If I’m Michigan I maintain a high shell and run a variety of zone pressures which have historically given our OL trouble and try to force Texas to put together drives to be you. We won’t be able to run on their interior and with zone pressure all eyes will be in the backfield to attack horizontal plays, etc. Helm, Niblack, Wingo will all be useful due to their size/speed combos this weekend if that is the way Michigan wants to roll. if Quinn and the OL are adequate with identifying and picking up the multiple pressure looks, I just don’t see how we don’t move the ball consistently.
  18. Umm didn’t Ewers light them up prior to get pile driven into the ground and going out of the game? I’m not going going into the game thinking we will put up 40, but what exactly about this years Michigan defense is warranting the title of best Ewers will have ever played. They have a first round CB and two very good DTs. What about the other 8 guys? What about their linebackers and safeties in space? We aren’t going to line up and run it down there throat anyway. We are going to spread them out, make them run horizontal and then try to hit them over the top, or just let our guys work in space. The challenge on offense will be if we can identify and protect their multiple blitz schemes. If we can do that most of the time, we will move the ball.
  19. Did he just use a clip of a successful Fresno completion against Michigan to illustrate the dangers of throwing the same route combo against the same coverage with a significantly better QB and WR core?
  20. Aren’t like 7 of the defensive starters new this year?
  21. 45-17 Texas 283 yards for the WR rooms
  22. Just got mom out of the hospital back into the house for hospice. She has had two ostomies due to blockages that were tumor related and her oncologist says she too weak/frail for another round of chemo. Been about 14 months since stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis. She was on a regular colonoscopy schedule and was actually schedule for one two days before her diagnosis. It’s been a tough year and half, and going to be tough through the end. Fuck cancer.
