Random Season News

I didn't take it as a direct response to IDEs question. I thought he was just laughing at the exchange between Sabre and IDE.
Who knows?? (Joe does)
All I know is.....
It must be the dreaded offseason at Hornsfans..
We've got 4th and 5th parties commenting now on comments commenting on comments regarding someone's comment and whose to blame. Now I'm a %, too, dog gone it...
We need news...and quick.
...Lest we go all Lord of the Flies on each other.
I don't know why Sabre said what he said about Epps, and I dont know why IDE cares enough to cuss. I don't know why Joe was laughing, and I don't know why you felt compelled to chime in on Joe...and I know even less why I stupidly am jumping in now. (That's not really true, you know?).
All I know is the title of the thread is Random Offseason News.
...Must have been a slow couple news days, so we are left with just Random, I guess.

Read this post as if you are Professor Harold Hill - The Music Man, and it's waay better.

Thank you. Yes, according to Gil Brandt and Tex Schram, sitting in Brandt's office on Central Expressway while he was handing over game tickets to take my kids to see the Cowboys vs Steelers. It was part of a longer story explaining how and why the Cowboys chose a TE. FWIW, that was the same meeting at which Mr Brandt gifted me one of his very limited edition Parker pens.

I never insinuated or in anyway inferred Epps was "an *******". I don't know the kid. I do know that the last TE we had worth a damn could be really nasty when he needed to be, which for me is further proof of Brandt & Schram's findings.
 
i asked if the kid was an *******? How the **** can that be construed any way but as a simple question, unless the poster replying is looking to start some ****, and we have some on here who do nothing else. I normally choose to ignore those.

Background adds context.
 
I knew Sabre Horn had a background story. Man doesn’t call people names. He just has a lot of stories! Sit back and wait, he’ll splain it!

I recall saying patience Horn Fans! About a week ago.
:bevo:

Yes, I saw the original response as an example of cognitive dissonance. Made me laugh. It was like one poster said,"good morning" and the other one responded "you are an idiot for living in Midland."
Had no idea one "lol" would turn into what it turned into

And readers should probably also know by now there is often a good story behind Sabre's posts

Good answer! And pretty much true. I took it another way, but your statement makes more sense. On the field, guys playing on the line have to have an "*******" mentality to drive the opponent into the dirt.

In my experience, he loves doing that. He has great institutional memory. Also has a lot of small town Texas memories.

Maybe so, but it does not help help others understand one word posts.

Of course if one really has a point, one word is never sufficient. Even 140 characters fails grandly for anyone with an attention span exceeding 15 seconds.

Johnson likely backing up LT

Maybe RT too, along with Moore and Hookfin
Angilau should be alright, he probably was not quite ready last season.
Kerstetter is a solid RT option. I liked him at C better than Shackelford.
Okafor is a 5th year -- I always thought he would be an OT with those Stretch Armstrong like long arms - but Strong did him no favor making him play so early
Plus we might get another GT
Replacing 2 guys won’t be simple, but we have options (we recruited pretty well in 2018-19). And, in our bowl, we did pound out out 231 rush yards against the nation's #1 rush defense, which had held 10 opponents under 70 yards. And this will be the 3rd year together with Hand

So Hand was not the problem last year, it was scheme? Baylor, TCU and OU games still bother me, though.
