Maybe, but holy poo if they weren't FLOCKING to CO in the '07-'10 range. Felt like every third person you met had just moved there from Michigan.

I'm allergic to heat.

The sunbelt is blowing up as far as people moving in. The real driver of a lot of this moving is from places with crippling cost of living to places of considerably lower cost of living. hepcat and I both fit that mold. There feels like there's a practical invasion of Long Islanders in this area currently for precisely that reason. Colorado felt under invasion by Californians for years for the same reason.

"Commanders" was always pretty awful. I just don't see anyone getting behind it. And since it's so wildly unpopular anyway, seems like a fitting start for new ownership to just get a completely fresh new start and change the name.

Anybody else think we are putting to much on Bryce's plate?
LinvilleGorge replied to DennisM1's topic in Carolina Panthers
I don't think any of us have any clue what we're going to put on Bryce's plate just yet and we won't until we get into the season. Talk is talk. We'll have to see what we do. I do think we went out and signed a legit vet FA RB to take some of the pressure off of Bryce and be able to establish the run to setup the pass when need be. -
I'm honestly kinda shocked by the Austin boom. The city itself is cool. Lots to offer for people looking for cool city stuff. But like you mentioned, no mountains or beach or really basically just nothing of note for hours in any direction. Like where do you go for a day trip or weekend getaway from Austin? I gotta think that you almost develop a landlocked form of island fever. There are just very limited cool quick getaways. I mean, if you're gonna pay damn near Boulder prices you might as well just go to Boulder and get the same type of vibe and have a lot more cool poo nearby.

The brisket was a big hit. I usually smoke them at 250 for as long as it takes to get them to 200 with a Texas crutch when it stalls (usually around 170 in my experience). But one of my childhood best friends who is career military is in town and really wanted a good smoked brisket. His wife is from Texas and he was stationed there for years. He's tied up this weekend with family stuff though so it had to happen during the week so I had to go off script. I cooked it in a 155 degree sous vide for 36 hours then threw it on the smoker for five hours coming home at lunch to fire up the smoker. Smoked the beans and mac and cheese for an hour then finished them off for about 15 minutes in the oven at 350. Honestly, I think the brisket turned out just as good as usual flavor wise. Presentation wise it didn't develop the smoke ring I usually get but honestly I don't really care. Is it really good to eat? Yes. Okay, winning. When I have the time to man the smoker all day I'll probably still do a straight smoke, but that's also why I usually only do a couple briskets a year. The sous vide cheat will allow for making it more often. Probably gonna try a pork butt with the sous vide to smoker cheat next.

Is Bojangles bad now or is it just me
LinvilleGorge replied to Sean Payton's Vicodin's topic in Huddle Lounge
I wouldn't say it's bad but I do think the quality has slipped. They've backed off on the spice IMO for one. The spicy chicken filet used to have a real kick to it. -
This is not a game y'all. Puttin' it DOWN today. Also, a new contender for the thread emerges. This is good stuff. A little heavy on the celery salt but other than that it's about perfect for a store bought sauce.

Things change when you're getting paid and are potentially easily replaceable. People have made this argument against kids sitting out meaningless bowl games but I've never seen any evidence of that decision negatively impacting draft stock or the mentality carrying over to the NFL.
-
Kinda ridiculous to be mad at a college kid protecting his potential pro career. It ain't basketball or soccer. Every time those kids take the field they legitimately risk an injury that could derail any chance of a pro career.
-
I don't watch enough App games to know but is that a product of his lack of ability in that area or more a product of their offensive system? Some teams just don't really throw to RBs much. I meant just think back to Mike Shula. RBs were basically just treated as extra blockers in his offense. Hell, we all begged for screens until we were blue in the face when Cam was getting teed off on by teams blitzing us.
-
Dude was a beast in college no doubt. Definitely curious to see how he looks in the NFL. I definitely think there's an opportunity for someone outside the box to make a splash and make this roster at RB.
-
I definitely don't feel bad for Mariota. Imagine being a major disappointment in your profession and still banking nearly $65M.

How much should Bryce play in the preseason?
LinvilleGorge replied to t96's topic in Carolina Panthers
Honestly, the QB snap management this off-season and preseason should be completely about the development of Bryce Young. The trade we made to get him says everything about what we think about Matt Corral. Signing Andy Dalton as a vet mentor and backup says a lot too. Corral is an afterthought. Not a single snap should be taken from Bryce solely to allow for the evaluation of Corral. We've cast our lot. We've hooked the franchise to Bryce Young. -
We didn't lose the game because of Kasay, but damn it was definitely an egregious error from a great kicker.

How much should Bryce play in the preseason?
LinvilleGorge replied to t96's topic in Carolina Panthers
As much as the staff deems necessary. It's nice to actually have a staff that I trust to handle this. I honestly didn't trust any previous staff to develop a rookie QB. Without Cam's tremendous physical talents I'm not sure that situation plays out like it did. -
I'm just fine with not being one of the medias preseason darlings as an emerging contender. Seems like they flop more often than not. Or maybe that's just because it always seems like it's the Cowboys.
-
It was all about the Benjamins, per usual. Which is fine. It is business for them after all. But don't go whining and crying about the QBs you've played with talking about wanting to play with an elite QB and then sign up to play with the Titans.
-
It's possible but on the wrong side of 70 I'm just not sure.

Bingo.
