I had never noticed this until late last year. What the fuck even is this, what’s the point, why do people like it? Why is this a thing?

What the actual fuck? “None of that talent made it to the NFL?” Toward the end of that decade there were more NFL players from Texas than any other school. Texas also had the best W% among all power conference schools during that decade. So - the most NFL players, the best W/L record, but the recruiting classes were completely and intentionally overrated. Got it.

People say the same about David McWilliams. People don’t say the same about Mackovic or Herman, because they were pricks. Terry has been around Texas for a while and has apparently treated people well. Let’s not make this anything more than that.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
What if I told you that that injuries to (1) a guy who has thrown more than 128 innings exactly once in his 10-year career and (2) a guy north of 40 years old should have been considered neither surprising nor particularly “unlucky”?- Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

I’m going to try to apply this logic with my insurance company - “sure my wife rear-ended someone each of the last two years, so you should drop my 2025 rates because because there’s no way it’ll happen again.”- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
The most likely outcome is obviously somewhere in between these scenarios and something like 85-90 wins. There are probably 4 or 5 AL teams that should also be in that range.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread

That would make me want him even less.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Robert has played 68, 98, 145 and 100 games the last 4 years (he probably won’t be healthier as he gets older). He’s good and has the ability to be great, but I wouldn’t make that bet.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
I wonder if there is a Larry Walker Jr or Moises Alou Jr or Wil Cordero Jr or Archi Cianfraco Jr or Rondell White Jr. (Still irritating that the ‘94 strike more or less ended baseball in Montreal.)- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
All of them are awful, MLB should stop trying to be like the NBA where every team has every color combo and multiple logos, get off my goddamned lawn.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
I think there’s a reasonable chance he does. He basically needs to be worth about 4-5 war / year (though that contract makes it somewhat difficult to assess performance value, given the options and deferred money). So if he produces, say, 5, 4, and 3 war seasons in ‘25-‘27, the Red Sox are probably happy. That doesn’t seem terribly unlikely.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

I don’t know anything about the kid other than what I’ve seen on this board. Hopefully he’s just making dumb decisions and will grow up. Hopefully these aren’t the first signs of bipolar or schizophrenia (which are typically diagnosed after adolescence/ in early adulthood). Have a close friend who is bipolar and decided to self medicate (mostly pot after getting off his prescribed meds) and then set everything in his life ablaze (family, career, etc) and became homeless, delusions of grandeur, the whole 9. They become the most frustrating, unlovable people and there generally aren’t a lot of good endings.- Rodney Terry has been fired
I admittedly didn’t follow all of it that closely, but wouldn’t the reason to not “do a little PR” be that he maintained publicly that he did nothing wrong, and agreeing to do anger management and some sort of rehab would undermine that claim?- Super Bowl LIX: Chiefs vs. Eagles
