  1. I nominate you for new college football commissioner. I like it.
  2. Agreed, but no one here seems to give him much “credit”, they just b$tch about his last 2 years whenever he comes up. One of which he played for a conference championship. And there’s the 10 years of 9+ winning seasons I guess. I’m grateful for him taking us out of the late 80s early 90s slump.
  3. We are talking about next year QBs. Focus. Because someone says another QB will be considered a top QB for 2025, they are an enemy? Doesn’t correlate, buddy. And Sam Leavitt was a freshman and first year starter, we are predicting trajectory here, he had way better first year stats than Quinn if you’re measuring. Again, Quinn is gone, and we are talking 2025, so not measuring.
  4. Sam Leavitt might need to be mentioned in the top 3. Klatt has always liked Texas.
  5. Make sure you only use Traeger brand pellets. Any other pellets don’t work. Think that’s by design. After getting it started, keep it open for 10 minutes on smoke setting first before you set it to the temp you are going to cook your meat. Also, you might have too much soot or ash in the hopper. Make sure (when the grill is cool of course) that you clean out the granules and soot from your hopper, then refill with full pellets. If you’ve already tried all this, I would return it, because it should smoke.
  6. I have the XXL big green egg. I use lump charcoal and some wood and occasionally some lump charcoal logs my wife bought online from Japan (those last days, don’t know what is in them). Also have an Argentinian grill with a box below and mechanism I can hang meat and lower it to the coals. Also a Traeger at the RV, and kettle Weber. Pizza oven and a table top balckstone. Whew! 😅. You asked. Right now I use the BGE the most, I start a nice fire then get it to coals and you can do most anything. For the Traeger chicken on the bone (about 40 min 300) and pork tenderloins (45/50 min 350) , pork chops (less time just watch these depending on thickness 300) come out nice. You can do a brisket for sure because you can keep such a consistent heat with the Traeger (it’s cheating but who cares), make sure your brisket is about 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick with consistent thickness to the point. Trim excess fat to 1/4 inch or less. Olive oil salt and pepper brisket (kosher salt and cracked peeper best, a lot of it. You can add some coffee grounds and paprika if you want to get fancy. Cook on 275 for 4/5 hours just on the grates, spray with water or apple cider vinager q1 hour, cover with butcher paper after 4 hours and cook 8/9 more hours check internal temp with probe at end last hour to get brisket to 190/200 temp then cut off. You want brisket at 204 temp at the end after rest. So know it will still cook after you take it off and rest. Eat it soon and you will be golden.
  7. What we usually do well, we didn’t. Getting early favorable pitching counts, and laying off bad pitches to get into good hitting counts. It’s annoying it was against the hogs. They are insufferable. With all the pig yelling.
  8. What a butt kicking this weekend. It was way better being competitive in losses. Oh well, hope we get it together for the next series.
  9. Is anyone else having trouble with videos cutting off by themselves when you enter them from the OTC site? Wondering if it is just something with my phone, or if something with the site.
  10. Well of course, but competitive losses are better than the alternative. (Getting your butt kicked)
  11. And pitching wise behind in more counts lately to be fair. However, overall we’ve been good.
  12. Yes, gird your loins, and hold onto Weiner.
  13. Will be much harder with the injuries, hope we aren’t saying what if, but one of the strengths of the team has to be untouchable by injuries, Max Weiner. We have held most teams, and all of the top teams to under their scoring percentage for the year. The pitching transformation is unbelievable. We are getting a lot of pitches in the zone early and getting ahead of batters . This is also true of the at bats (Tulo) , our batters have nice patience and don’t swing at a lot of balls that they shouldn’t. This discipline will certainly play in our favor for the long haul of the season.
  14. You know what’s even crazier about this 37-5 team? Three of the five losses were extra innings losses and the 5-3 loss to Texas State I believe we left runners on base in the 9th with a chance to win. Only the LSU loss (which we won the series) was a decisive win for the bad guys . Great team!
