Wife had to work today, and is working very early tomorrow, so we aren't doing much.  Probably takeout from the Local Italian place.  But I am off tomorrow, so the highlight of the weekend will be going to see two of my oldest friend tomorrow for a liquid lunch.  Haven't seen them since the pandemic started.

That will make the weekend worth it.  If nothing else, the last 15 months have taught people time is precious. 

I had to run to the store earlier, and I saw two gentlemen talking.  One was up in years, the other my age or maybe a bit older.  I ran into the younger one as we were checking out.  He said the guy he was talking to was the teacher who tried to teach him math 49 years earlier.  He recognized him by his walk.

I told him if I ran into the teacher who tried to teach me math 49 years ago, she would probably sit me in the corner!

The ribs have hit halftime.  From here, they get drenched in apple cider vinegar, wrapped in foil, and go back in the smoker for two more hours.  Then the get unwrapped, sauced, and smoked for another hour.

3-2-1. I would encourage you to look into the 3-1-1.

I might try that on ribs that have more fat on them.  The wild boar ribs were so lean they probably needed most if not all of the 2 hour steaming period.  That made them fall-of-the-bone tender, and in fact one of the bones slid out when I was putting them back in the smoker for the sauce.

I wound up using pecan wood.  I had reservations about using apple cider vinegar to baste them, but it worked well and my wife like the taste a lot.

I might say I would do the wild boar ribs again, but I have to as I have two more slabs in the freezer.  The other catch is smoking ribs this time of year is a rite of passage around here.

Meanwhile, after halftime of this project we basted ourselves with some Gunpowder gin and tonic.

15 YEARS AGO, TWO FORUMS MET UP AND PLAYED FOOTBALL AT TTAINING CAMP. BRING THAT BACK

15 years ago MGP distilled a rye whiskey that was sold to Whistlepig, who finished that rye on casks made from oak trees grown on their Vermont estate. This whiskey would become Whistlepig 15.

Today, after somewhere more than halfway through that bottle, you made an all caps, misspelled post of moderate coherence.

I salute you, sir.

    • TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL
    • Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)  
    • Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
