Forget the 65’s and ask why Pat Mahommes is lifting with the team.

Yeah. During last football season. But not recently. He’s probably just a larda**, but there’s a chance he’s trying to reduce his rotundity.

Might be one of those cats who fasts all day and has a small window to eat his heart out. I worked with a guy who’d lost 50 lbs by fasting until 11am, eating anything he wanted until 2pm and then fasting until the same time the next day. We went to lunch one day, had a lot of TexMex and I was considering taking a bit of siesta when we got back to the hotel when he piped up about the next restaurant he wanted to go to. I would call his eating process akin to Cookie Monster at a Cumbl buffet, but he was dropping weight.

Still carrying about 10 more LBs than I’d like, but I’m working on it.

I dunno, kids might flock to him rolling to practice on a burnt orange Rascal. I’m not worried as much about that as seeing how his man proclivities lines up with tendency to play cover three match to near exclusion.

I don’t know if it’s the best or most unexpected, but I always enjoy the Bing Crosby/ David Bowie collaboration of Peace On Earth/ Little Drummer Boy around Christmas. Don’t know why. Has the right feels.

I liked that new near side armed delivery by Duplantier. That could be nasty if he really grows into it.

Oh, I’ve had to modify my diet and hydration greatly. Things are better, but it’s a biological deficiency of mine. I was passing one in HS and they did an X-ray to see if I had any more. There were 20 on deck. 11 on one side and 9 on the other. Lithotripsied them all. Lotta pain there afterwards. Now they use lasers and play Asteroids until the rocks are gone, but it’s still nightmare fuel. But I’m down to passing a small one every 5-6 years now that we know what’s up.

Sounds like the difference between a gratifying post retirement pursuit and working for a living.

Chuck Norris puts the martial art into artesian. It is to be expected that his brand of water kicks a**. Actually, I have kidney stone issues which pretty much limit me to water and lemonade. Sprite is ok too. Beer, tea ( I really miss my sweet tea), coffee and most colas are generally off limits. I’ll give his Walker Texas Rain Water a try.

Water. I live on that s***.

Lake Jackson. Went to school in Louisiana, lived there for 6 years, ran into some trouble, married her and drug her back to Texas. In Keller for 21 years, but looking to move to the fringes of the metroplex to get some more elbow room.

There’s no Gnews like Good Gnews with Hero Kanu.

I just wanted to say that the new and improved Annual Swim Suit Calendar featuring Jeff Howe and Gerry Hamilton is going to be sent out to all OG’s when the podcast hits 100k subscribers. ManCanduary, Manscaped March, Mayo, Jerky June and Joy Mode July are leaders in the clubhouse for the featured months. Guest appearances by the fabled Mobile Commando Unit and Gerry’s girlfriends in the bonus month of Chicks Fil A are also expected. Welcome aboard Jeff!!!

I’m not taking it for granted that we’ll be able to. Im a bit leery about the spring window because that is usually guys who waited to see how spring ball would shake out to jump, or decide if they like a new staff. That may or may not be the real dudes needed at DT and WR.

My only worry is that you’re at the mercy of the portal. I trust this staff to pick the best options to round out the roster, but it could be that the options presented only allow you to hit a double when you need a homerun. I am at least comforted that we won’t foul tip strike two into our crotch and then whiff on strike three in the portal like FSU.

You misspelled “commando.”

It was a terrible, terrible call whose cost benefit analysis made no sense. Getting stuffed and losing a yard to the 2 would have been far more preferable, and I was just sure as could be that some kind of PA to the flat was coming. Sark may have been fighting his own demons with the failure to punch it in against OU last year on his mind. Looking at the numbers, the fact that running outside on OSU has proven to be near impossible all year and that their safeties wouldn't have to back up an inch with coverage responsibilities makes the decision to get wide with Tre even more ignominious. Having said that…I kinda get it. Maybe hoping they sell out in the middle and we catch them with the toss. You’d think Blue would be the obvious choice with that in mind, but perhaps that would have tipped intentions. Or maybe it was Tre’s turn in the rotation and they called it anyway. A weakness in this staff imoho is a penchant to make situationally inappropriate calls based on personnel, situation or opponent. We saw two terrible ones at the Cotton Bowl that was the difference in the game. Such are the margins. I also understand that we were playing with our backups at all skill positions save TE at that point in the game so options against a legit defense are limited. And Arch was probably dinged from the uncalled targeting on his lone carry. Still, that’s kinda when you want us to display Sark’s X/O acumen with alignment, motion or personnel to try and get that yard. Whether that was an extreme unbalanced alignment, jumbo TE PA pass to Agbo for example, two DT leading Juan Davis on the inside carry or just attempting a tush push with Helm rushing up to take the snap would have been fine. We all knew we were going to struggle running inside as soon as Baxter went down, and it’s a credit to the staff that they reimagined their rushing attack into OZ given what we had been emphasizing since last season up to that point and what Sark’s preferred run play is to set up his offense. We all just kinda expected something better considered than a basic toss play on the goal line against that defense.

I wish folks would tap the brakes on penciling in Baxter as “back.” Maybe. Hopefully. I’d be really pleased if he could be a full go at Fall practice and healthy and trusting enough of his knee to impact the second half of the season. Anything before that is a bonus. But otherwise we’ve got Tre running OZ, Gibson for IZ and a lot of frosh who haven’t done anything yet.

That’s the worst helicopter I’ve ever seen, but it’s a pretty sweet lid.

It’ll be neck and neck if both teams play well. We have a good chance of winning if we play reasonably well and Will Howard does Will Howard things. They will win convincingly if Howard stays hot and we bring Peach Bowl UT to Dallas. I expect an L, but it’s all house money for the next 4-8 quarters of football. The nice thing is they won’t have spent the last 4 weeks prepping for us, and I wouldn’t expect them to attempt the Boise State bowl game theatrics that ASU pulled off. I do expect Ryan Day to panic, overindulge in his preferred beard dye mixture of used motor oil and Guinness, and end up with a shade of facial hair approximating a black hole.

The SEC will let you get away with WWE takedowns between the guards, but you better not so much as get a fingernail outside of the framework from the tackles on out. An understandable compromise that keeps the game watchable all things considered. Can you imagine how unpleasant the B1G viewing experience would be if they called some semblance of holding on those teams playing snowman football in October and November on the outskirts of Southern Canadia? It’s true that it effected UT more because we have a very good pass rush, but that’s not how that game was called, and all I can ask is that the officials be equally good, bad or, in this case, criminally indifferent for both sides and they were.

3 offenses with dual threat QB’s and a system that uses one. Sark doesn’t run that offense, and other than a few one off plays you don’t install it for a single opponent. Arch’s legs will open up that possibility next year, but I wouldn’t expect it to be anything other than an occasional silver bullet for a defense disregarding the pull completely. No unlike how Quinn closed out Arkansas.

It’s never called. I’m pretty sure we’ve had a TD scored this year in the same manner where one of our OL slung Wisner maybe into the endzone for a TD. Also, they weren’t calling anything other than presnap procedure penalties and tackling WRs mid route. And they were consistent about it. I think you devalue the game when you call it that loosely, but they favored no one with it. It was a clinic in how to fairly not officiate the game unless forced to.

Kinda reminds me of the OSU RB in the BigXII title game Ollie something or other. I’ll be curious to see how good of a college QB Leavitt without a rushing attack. Or better yet, playing from behind where the run game is a constraint instead of a feature.
