This happens EVERY F'N time...Talarico is gonna get curb stomped again...

Guess what Cruz - Beto was right before the election...Toss Up
Guardian Sept 2018
Won by over 200k

Cook moves Cruz - Allred to lean republican
The Hill
Won by 8%

Talarico is going to get crushed once Trump releases the $400 Million for Paxton...I mean this is the fakest POS ever to run in Texas and we had Beto.

I could think of better options than Abbott these days but he'll win handedly again.

Lane Kiffin system vs players

Love you see all the "media" and anonymous SEC coaches talking up how good Chambliss and Simmons are as QBs and it had more to do with them as players than Lane.

I don't wish harm on the dudes but I hope they are mediocre this year so we don't have to hear this garbage anymore. Chambliss is being touted as a heisman favorite and the #1 QB in the SEC (Pate and others)...I just don't see how a guy who loses a OC and HC, who is an offensive genius can stay as good as he was.
Starship did a lot better on the landing than the booster.

Based on that booster going on that hard, they might be throwing them in the gulf 2-3 more times before catching.
Deliver...Yes
On-Time....Hell No

I've been in this one for a few years and its my best performer by quite a bit.

I got over that last year. Guaranteed Houston doesn't see nearly the home insurance claims that Florida does...but for the one time in a decade or more I have to make one...I'm not paying 150% what I'm now paying at Allstate.

Really just wish Texas would turn up the deportations more or at least start getting the illegals out of cars and off the street. Talked to a Harris County sheriff after getting rear ended and he said that's one of the top 2 reasons for insurances hikes in Texas...uninsured motorist. Thankfully I drive with a trailer hitch in...tore his front end up and I have 2 small scratches on my plastic bumper.
GOT Damn

Serious no-bs unicorn status IMO.

Called proper development...hitting on a few transfers maybe...and getting hot at the right time...i.e. Little Rock and Milwaukee.
I was fixing to start a thread when I turned on squeeze play...So 5 - #1seeds were knocked out of their regional? Felt like it was more.

Personally I'm on the Little Rock train right now for Omaha.

ETA: Auburn and WV looking at possibly getting bounced also. Oh can't forget ATM
I just signed up for a standby battery from Base Power that also has a generator plug in for long term outages. Ran the 15-20 year cost curve and it blows a gas generator out of the water since I need a propane tank on my property for it anyway...we don't have NG.

If he couldn't get opportunities when Pearson was hurt and we were looking for literally anyone to pick up a glove and stand at 3rd base, I have a hard time believe he feels like his future is here.



Ya that's why I have incoming freshman listed next to him...we have some stout HS short stops coming.

They were essentially the only two good players on the field for LSU. Losing Brown hurt them and Cerna. Johnson has a major rebuild for next year.



I don't understand why you think we are in a major rebuild...a lot of the replacements for these guys had decent playing time this year. They just need to pan out. You really just need to find a 2B whether on roster or not, and another OF.

C - Cade/Serna
1B - Serna/Braun
2B - Clauss or best incoming SS Freshman
SS - Ruckert
3B - Pearson or another incoming Freshman
RF - Harden/Braun
CF - Patrick
LF - Harden/Freshman

Harden is the only one that didn't get "alot" of reps this year but looked like it could be there. The problem with next year without a few hits on transfers is depth. The current team is upper classmen heavy.

It'll be a Paxton / Roy vote for me. Mayes' SB 854 proved he's either too dense to be an AG or just a pure dumbass...either one I'm not a fan of.

I want a bulldog for AG cause Texas needs someone with a spine to go after the issues in Texas. Paxton got soft after his impeachment even though it failed miserably. He got his appeals judges in to go after voter fraud and hasn't done anything with it. We have a serious H1B issue that an AG can you go after business for fraud, but nothing has happened there cause Abbott is too involved. We need a separation of Governor/AG if Patrick and Roy go closer we could root a lot of issues out like H1B, illegals and everything that goes with them, voter fraud in Houston, Dallas, etc.

With the amount of talent we've produced at pitcher...one bad year and thats it huh.
Considering we won the NC last year in Baseball, I will say Football which hasn't done shite in 7 years.
Chip is talking about SB 854. It was a bill Middleton authored that restricted zoning and regulatory laws over mutli-family housing on religious organization owned land. Mayes has been otherwise outspoken against Islamification and Sharia Law. He's a rep of Brazoria/Harris/Galveston counties so no direct affiliation with what is going on in Dallas and EPIC City as far as I know.

SB854 was meant to be something for all religions but since Christian/Jewish organizations in Texas don't build a lot of multi-family complexes on their land...this was portrayed as Islam-sensitive because of the huge problem Texas has with it.

He was pretty stupid IMO for bringing this to the floor at this time. I HIGHLY doubt any christian/jewish organizations came to him pushing this as this is not the big of an issue in Texas...or he is so dense that he didn't think about what something like SB854 would portray with an obvious Islam issue in North Texas.

Whoever is gonna break the H1B Visa scams and get rid of the massive amount of illegal Indians and Latin American's is getting my vote.
I think he takes a big step back in portal acquisitions...contrary to what the sky-screamers in other threads think...him and Yeskie can develop kids. I think they changed a lot of coaching from previous years assuming these kids had the talent and understanding that they didn't need to focus on development so much. I think with NIL, he will focus more on high level HS kids that are coming in and getting them to stay for a few years at LSU.

I think Tanks and Skenes might have spoiled him and us for a bit because we all thought this was normal-ish...hitting on transfers.

I think he gets back into his West Coast baseball roots as well and stops looking for kids with HR totals and more OBP.

I don't think Pitching philosphy and recruiting changes...we always look for hard throwing, strike throwers....I think some of these trasnfer pitchers again didn't pan out.

I also think this team has straight up given up on the season. I can see how a bunch of high self-value, NIL queens would give up after knowing this is not a deep postseason team.
Didn't hit on transfers...i'm finding the transfer game in baseball can be a crap shoot unless your signing from within the SEC. Even Carroway didn't pan out coming from the PAC. We had a diamond with Tommy White but who else really has panned out. Stanfield came from within conference and has been good...thats my example of intra conference transfer. I think SEC is too dominant and is hard to compare to other conferences.
Cade Arambide as the #1 HS catcher in the country and Omar Serna as the #4 catcher in the country isn't good evaluation.

I don't know with some of y'all.

Jay is 2-4 IN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS at LSU, not making the SEC Tournament, not making the NCAA tournament, not even making Omaha. National F'N Champions.

These kids are paid more than minor leaguers...they can be thrown under the bus at this point if they suck one year to the next.
I'll be interested in checking one out when it hits BassPro or one of the local gunshops. I had a VP9SK but it was too big and sharp to carry. I recently picked up a G43x that is a lot easier to carry, but I'm looking to get something to have a dedicated truck gun and something to carry. Plus HK makes very nice stuff. I enjoyed shooting the VP9SK and the fit and finish is top of the line in my opinion cause I hate sig products...personally.
