I would move out of the DFW suburbs to the country in a heartbeat if I didn’t have to commute to work a few days a week. Less companies are allowing employees to work from home now which makes it even more difficult. So you will likely take a pay cut finding a job if you try to move further out or spend most of your life commuting. If my kids were out of school I’d take the pay cut and be done with all the traffic and a-hole foreigners.
He has received his taking points from his Chinese overlords. They would love nothing more than to see AI regulation in the US while they continue to refine their processes unchecked. I’m sure Chinese developed AI would be very benevolent to western societies.

This team was always going to go as far as our OL would take us. LK brought some new players to try and shore things up on the OL but it’s hard to find SEC quality O linemen in the portal. Seaton was a great add and cost some big NIL money. He had to rebuild the QB room, WR room, and depth at RB. That along with some quality players on defense used up most of the NIL funds.

Our guards and RT are not SEC quality and our RT has improved since last year. The biggest challenge he still has is rebuilding the OL which is tough using the portal.
We would have to beat TX and Tenner the way we beat down AU. Even then it depends on what the committee wants. Does the hate for LK outweigh the entertainment factor he will bring for TV ratings? Who knows what they will do.
One of the first things she said last Wed was that the state of TX would no longer cooperate with ICE. I assume some individual cities may buck that but she will likely find a way to force their hand. Glad everyone was so pissed about Paxton running that they elected a globalist to run the state of TX.
I’ve never really thought much of him and that goes back to when he was the coach at Washington. He’s kind of a weird dude in general but he has proven to field winning teams. I don’t think he will win a natty at Bama but apparently he’s plenty capable of kicking our arse on the regular.

In 2019 most of our TD’s came from outside the red zone. We could use some more explosive plays but this team really struggles with going vertical.
You don’t go out and party after an arse kicking like that. If you win, sure. But after a big L, go home and drink with your GF or buddies. He has nothing to celebrate tonight.
Well the dems won’t be able to deliver on two of those promises right off the bat. Maybe they can get out of any foreign entanglements but they’ve never figured out how to lower prices and the Epstein files are a dog whistle. If these politicians were smart they’d shut up about Epstein. As many hands that have touched those files, I doubt there is any evidence to bring forward at this point.

He’s getting on the train now that he knows the playing field has been leveled. WW is a good coach and we can pay players just like Kansas and the blue bloods. LSU is going to make some deep runs in the tournament the next few years.

Her definition of win in this context means one party rule. If the changes she outlines take place dems wouldn’t lose another presidential election in our lifetimes.
You are spot on. I remember graduating from LSU in the mid 90’s. Not a lot of jobs out there at that time and a lot of us had trouble just finding something. I ended up starting a job that paid 21k per year.

Guess what? I didn’t have money to go buy a new car and I rented for several years. I couldn’t afford a house until my income caught up with home prices. I didn’t go to Vegas with my buddies every year and when I went out I drank natty lite. I always tell my kids, you bust your arse at work and get by with what you have. Life isn’t easy.

Hell of a play to stand in there. Was that tipped too?
Years ago an older guy I worked with said, “on your tombstone they ain’t gonna write, he never took a day off from company X”. I think about that sometimes when I schedule some PTO. Your kids and family are much more important and you want them to remember the time you spent with them.
Here is the difference between the dems and GOP. The moderate dems may disagree on some issues with their new DSA overlords but they will still get behind them and vote for them. And they definitely won’t trash them in the media.

The GOP however will cannibalize their own so much as to publicly state they are voting for a DSA candidate. Big difference imo.
Our OL is the weakest group on the team. They don’t give the QB much time, hence all the short to intermediate passes we see. Weis basically has to scheme around our OL play and has really done a pretty good considering.
The offense has to come out on fire and execute. You can’t wait to get the offense going until the end of the half or beginning of the second half when you are on the road. We know Baker is likely going to struggle containing this QB so the offense needs to strike fast and keep their foot on the pedal. No stupid arse penalties or TO’s.
If this means we rush 4 or 5 with a QB spy then I could get behind that. Baker likes to rush 3 and drop 8 which will get us killed by that AU QB. He did this yesterday too but once they get to our 30 or 35 yd line he would switch to man and bring a little pressure. It worked against a first time starter yesterday but it didn’t work against Chambliss or Minchey.

I don’t mind playing some zone defense against a mobile QB but you have to bring at least 4 and spy the QB.

And that’s why you man up in the red zone.
The local msm here in TX loves them some Talafreako. I don’t see him getting a fair shot in a televised debate locally, so it’s probably better that he doesn’t. If it was Trump or even Cruz vs Talafreako it wouldn’t matter but I don’t see Paxton being able to overcome moderator bias. He isn’t that skilled of an orator.

As long as you have a spy for a running QB I agree. These kids grow up playing man to man and they just don’t have enough time to teach more complex zone concepts in college. There are always break downs passing guys off in Baker’s zone defense.
