  1. Past hour
  2. This could be the shot at Fort Sumter.
  3. Klatt is better than this So because players can be paid, they can participate in sports betting? Even if it was a joke, CFB players need to understand optics. A lawyer can't send a cheeky, joking Venmo payment to a friend with the description "BRIBE FOR A JUDGE" the day before a hearing. That would 100% warrant an investigation. Sports betting for collegiate players is still 100% against the rules Joel, so yes, it warranted an investigation. Sports betting/gambling is very far removed and unaffiliated with players being paid and the transfer portal. That is why it is still not allowed. MLB, NBA, NFL have huge contracts and free agency and they still aren't allowed to bet on games within their sports.
  4. I acknowledged that, if not specifically. But yeah, Tech players are paid. Tech is not a bad place to got to school, regardless of what you say. The premium is because they don't have the program/ other talent/ NFL factory status of other schools. We don't have the same discussions in basketball circles, do we? No. The funny piece in that aspect is how the big dogs keep yelping about said market. If Tech sucks so bad, then why even acknowledge it? Your great locale and program will give you a built in discount.
  5. Used to live in Denver. I found it to be pricier tha. Any Texas city by far. Also look at pricing per square foot for housing. Houston is far cheaper.
  6. We need to use modern technology to get the quality of these videos upgraded to HD somehow. I probably settle down and watch VY highlights once or twice a year, and I'm always struck by how bad the quality is for most of the videos. As in, I swear it didn't look that dark and grainy watching it live back in 04 and 05. Or on my DVR of the Rose Bowl I kept around for years.
  7. I worked for the team in the 90s under Mackovic and before the games we would get a copy of the opposing teams media guide. The Tech media guide was catchy and had us saying it the rest of the season. It still stuck with me 30 some odd years later
  8. Bobby knows exactly what he’s doing.
  9. And it’s fucking beautiful. One of the healthiest states with the lowest level of obesity. I love Colorado. Maybe it’s time to start planning the escape
  10. Bomani Jones approves of this. Can't believe Will Cain graduated from UT
  11. The Tech boards suck. There wouldn't even be anyone to pick on you.
  12. Wordle 1,516 4/6 ⬛🟨🟨⬛🟨 ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟩 🟨🟩⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  13. The future being run by megalomaniac oligarchs seems accurate.
  14. ONDS already closed on the public offering. I’m back in again at much less than what I dumped it for yesterday.
  15. So - you can take the length, can’t take the length take the length, can’t take the length take the length, etc. Annoying. Hang in there, buddy.
  16. I did the math for our family living in Colorado versus Texas, and we'd save about $7k a year. We're pretty fortunate income and asset wise, so I re-did the math using a hypothetical $100K household income and the median value house in Denver and it's a savings of $6K living in Colorado. That's $500 a month, or a car you wouldn't have otherwise, or the prorated deductible on a high deductible insurance plan for a family. It's a really nice vacation, maybe two, or after school care for kids so a family can manage their household. It's a quality of life upgrade for most and all the good people of Colorado had to do is get it is not vote for incompetence and corruption.
  17. Fond is the right word. I’ve got a soft spot for both of those guys (for different reasons) and it makes me less of objective.
  18. https://www.advocate.com/politics/federal-pornography-ban-advances Republican Sen. Mike Lee's pornography ban is moving forward in the Senate A Republican bill that would ban all pornography federally is advancing within the Senate. Utah Senator Mike Lee's Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA) has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for review. If approved, it will go to the U.S. Senate for voting. The law would alter the Miller Test, which was established in the 1973 Miller v. California Supreme Court decision that determined "obscene" speech is not protected by the First Amendment. The test defines obscenity as material that "appeal to prurient interests as judged by the average person; depict sexual conduct in a patently offensive manner; and lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." The IODA would remove the “community standards” benchmark for determining obscenity, and would remove the provision clarifying that sexual conduct must be depicted in a “patently offensive” manner to be considered obscene — labeling all phonographic content as obscenity and rendering it illegal nationally. The bill instead defines obscenity as material that “taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion; depicts, describes, or represents actual or simulated sexual acts with the objective intent to arouse, titillate, or gratify the sexual desires of a person; and taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.” The plan to outlaw pornography is outlined in Project 2025, the 900-page document created by the conservative extremist Heritage Foundation that provided Trump with a blueprint for his second term. The first page of the document equates transgender people and drag queens to pornography, and the fifth page calls for a nationwide ban. "Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare," it states. "It has no claim to First Amendment protection." "Pornography should be outlawed," the paragraph continues. "The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered."
  19. Except after a Longhorns loss.
  20. I was definitely in the NO CRUISE camp up until this year. Did a Royal Caribbean cruise to Mexico a few months back, and it's changed my opinion. I'm still not planning on anything Carnival, especially out of Florida. But there's something for everyone on board, and with the kids, it's a great alternative to dragging ass around Walt's torture park.
  21. The racially ambiguous Californians are in!
  22. Damn straight. Here in Texas, ain’t no raping. No, sir! I jest, because I see a weird flex in your post.
  23. Again, the bar is pretty low for some of you....
  24. There really are two problem posters here - well for purposes of this discussion - and to be clear there are all kinds of other problems but the trolling behavior is a problem, is Stassney one maybe I don’t care to evaluate and rarely engage him because what the fuck do I know? But the other problem IS the drive by rage poster. i have a lot at stake here, and i don’t drive by rage post very often. It’s 100% useless. You THINK it helps but it’s actually quite harmful. First no one listens. I can’t tell you how many of the reputable posters I flat out scroll past when I see their name because I assume it’s a drive by rage post. But more importantly, rage posting releases the endorphins for you and makes you feel like something good happened, but guess what, nothing happened, not one fucking thing. you mad? Volunteer, protest, donate money, run for office, vote, go to public hearings, go to council meetings, talk to your kids, do something besides fucking rage post. rage posting is a complete and utter waste of time and resources. /rage post end
  25. There will definitely be no middle ground regarding Sir Parker Livingstone of House Lovejoy
