So there are people being sometimes celebrated who made it out of crazy childhoods where they may have turned to crime to support themselves bc that’s all they knew but have now made millions of dollars from the music industry but their past came back to haunt them?

Yeah f those guys, man.

Yeah, sorry I’m not supporting criminals regardless of circumstances. You’d feel different if your family got shot in an armed robbery by one of these fools. Clown.

Every Halloween we put our Nightmare Before Christmas tree. We also have a UT tree that we usually decorate with our old ticket stubs and other items, this year we added our Third Saturday Cigars.View attachment 518943

I dont know how hot one of those heaters get, and it is an artificial tree, but maybe move it out just in case..

That would absolutely suck. Pearce should have saw the field more this year. He will be a huge piece for our pass rush next year. We need to keep him by any means necessary.

Should have seen the field more? Based on your practice observations I assume? Based on your observations in the meeting room? What you mean is he was a really talented incoming freshman and so if he is going to get upset about a lack of playing time then we should just give him some playing time so he is less upset. That is basically the argument. Obviously he did not earn it. And you can't say he is just being held back because he is young. A freshman that is very similar and plays the same position got quite a bit of playing time this season. One of them earned it with their work and performance in practice and games. The good news is that a talented player can still become a productive player even if it doesn't happen for them right away. But if they want to use the portal to do that somewhere else then that is the world we are in now. You don't just play guys to keep them from going in the portal.

This guy played a large part in my being a diehard cowboys fan to a now cowboys hater.

I don’t have a true nfl team anymore. Just root for whoever is playing Dallas.

Jason Garrett and Jerry Jones are mostly why.

Absolutely NOT what I'm saying nor my argument.

My statement was based on what I saw on the field. Pearce flashed in every game he played, same for Jospehs and West. Obviously most of his playing time were against backups but it's not like we were dominate rushing the passer this year. We struggled with our pass rush without blitzing and I think he could have helped in that regard. Our team leader in sacks is BY with 5. Pearce is tied at 4th with 2.

Just highlighting how much a single game impacted the entire outlook of our defense.

South Carolina was the anomaly game this year.

For the quality of opponent that might be somewhat true. But this is a defense that’s let up huge numbers that’ll have to get corrected vs teams with a pulse. Only good game from them in that category was at LSU. Can’t let Anthony Richardson look like John Elway. All I’m saying.

The biggest difference is Bama AND Florida both didn't start putting up their passing numbers until they were playing catchup. South Carolina got up early on us and never let up.

But we all know the defense has to get better, we're undefeated if they play as motivated and well as they did against Vandy and Kentucky in every game.

You mean they make music about their lives and consumers choose to spend their hard earned money on it? That’s called America, bub.

Perhaps you’d be more comfortable in a theocratic state instead of the Land of the Free?

I come here for the football commentary, but this is cracking me up. Some people are out of their depth but just can’t stop swimming to deeper waters. However, as a proud member of Gen X, I appreciate the unintentional irony in his posts.
