I have zero concerns going forward [OP is a Fucking Liar]

Whatever it is, stop the play action where he turns away from the offense and start running misdirection so we aren't always facing 3rd and long after 2 runs up the middle. -
One of our corners probably grabs that and takes it 100 yards the other way.

Almost 9 minute opening drive..... This will be a trend all season. This defense can't get off the field forcing the offense to be ultra efficient but also have to play at a pace which hides the defense. If the offense has a bad day, you can pretty much forget about it. The Giants may be one of the few teams they could win with a crappy offensive day. Let's see.

Yeah, my boxing fan buddies and I talked about this fight for months. Everyone agreed: *Bud is the better, faster technical boxer, but won't be able to hurt Canelo enough to stop him. *Canelo is bigger/stronger, but won't be able to get Bud into a phone booth brawl, so he'll have to land a combo to hurt Bud. *Canelo isn't typically a 4/5-punch combo type guy, so he's going to have to catch Bud, who never gets caught. *Bud has the reach on Canelo, so he'll be able to jab Canelo at distance whenever Canelo wants to bring his combo bombs. *Canelo will have to take damage to get in range, while hoping Bud stands there to deliver more damage and becomes willing to brawl. There is no world where Bud will consider this, even if Canelo is clearly hurt and ready to go out. High risk, low reward. Then they bet on Canelo for some reason.

I’d say you’re pretty happy with the second option.

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
mdmost replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
I'd like you to view the post of the professor who faced death threats from his followers after Charlie Kirk targeted her with his platform. I've seen a lot of people talk about how great he was because he did these college tours, which yes were good to have, but completely leave out all the other bad shit he said and environment he also helped to foment. The right has got to stop acting like the left are the only ones saying bad shit about people and creating a dangerous environment. -
I am really beginning to wonder what our teams will be at the end of the season once conference play starts.

Well, how bout all 3 at the same time lol

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

Not that anyone cares, but I think that long post above is my big ADIOS to posting on Surly. -- Been thinking about this for a quite a while. -- I have nothing else to add to my collective 715 posts. I am sure I have had zero effect on anyone. -- Kinda like all my projects over the years. So hard to have any impact amid all the mental clutter of life and social media. Y'all are always hilarious, sometimes profound, and occasionally annoying. The football boards are a riot after UT loses a game. Nevertheless, for those here who graduated from UT-Austin (regardless of era), we all share a common bond. -- We attended a hell of a great university. -- I absolutely loved my time in Austin -- the learning, the profs, the friends, the experiences, the Tex-Mex, the music, the bars, the hot chicks (mostly artsy-fartsy in my circles). Oh those brainy smart Texas gals! I will keep creating and writing in my career, as best I can to have a positive impact on the world, even if it is near zero. No grudges, no hate, no anger for any of you. Wish all y'all the best in these dark, dark times. HOOK-EM! -
It's perfectly natural to have mixed thoughts on DP. I would make sure you have the right partners and are in a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. Good points. What I saw yesterday was a guy who could run pretty well but not complete a pass to save his life. I think he got a little looser during Q4 when he probably realized he couldn't lose the game. But even that TD pass that was "perfectly thrown" was barely catchable. He has to complete passes or he'll kill the rest of the team. A moderately serviceable QB with the team would have had them at 52-7 yesterday.

Dante Moore is on the right track. He had to play immediately which is always tough, and did so on a medicore UCLA team, but he seems to be off and running at Oregon. Need to see him play higher level competiton of course. The rest of them, I mean, woof.

NYG #55 seems very very dumb and wants to be cut

That's my assumption. I don't think Sark would take an OL this early, do you?

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Gatorubet replied to UTPhil2006's topic in Business and Markets
???? My first thought is, who cares? You are spot-on in needing to get advice and think about it. One idea might be to sit down and assign a value of the various competing interests 1) you apparently don’t want the estate to pay closing costs. ( It seems like if you bought it, you would save your dad mortgage and property taxes on the property in the next few years, which would cancel that expense out) 2) you want your sister to get half of the pre-improved assessed value of your dad‘s property and not cheat her 3) you don’t want to inherit the house with your sister, because you’ll be doing all the work to increase its value when you eventually sell it for more $ 4) Closing costs again - if you don’t buy it before your dad passes and you buy your sister out after it is left to you both in probate, she or you will have to pay closing cost on that sale, no? 5) you want your dad to be happy with whatever you do - - because he has to be happy because he controls the whole thing because it’s his house I can only assume that each of those goals does not have equal value. Number five has the most value because nothing happens unless your dad agrees. So you have to assign other values to the other interests involved. is it more important to get her the money before he passes or after he passes? is it more important to you to get the house now free of your sister having an interest - or after he passes? You are going to have to decide if the relatively modest closing costs are a reason to not immediately own property you admit you might be able to make a couple extra hundred thousand on. The buyer can always contract to pay the closing cost to prevent an estate expense. So if your dad is giving you half a house, say “thank you”, and pay the closing costs with your sister - to be deducted from the amount she is gifted by your dad so you both get the same thing (if for some reason she can’t afford to pay half of closing costs at the time of the sale)? Maybe? The only thing I can leave you with is that selling it now is the only thing with close to absolute certainty. If you leave it in the estate to pass by his will, there is always some risk that accompanies every person who passes with wealth and a will: He could change his mind and change the will, which would be his absolute right. Someone could challenge the will. Some unknown-to-you half sibling could show up to claim estate assets. Some stupid fight could arise between you and your sister before or after his death that changes her position on selling it to you after his passing. Or she gets bad advice from friends or husband or whatever that you are taking advantage of her. Why? Because she doesn’t understand everything, but is aware that you plan to make more money off the house than her. NEVER underestimate the influence of non-lawyer friends and family giving absolutely incorrect bad advice to people who for bizarre reasons adopts that as their position. The thing is, every state law reporter is filled with hundreds or even thousands of cases where the most amazingly stupid stuff arises in probate and estate fights that nobody envisioned at the time of the will draft or later probate. Even if you evaluate that risk as negligible now, it is still a risk. So why take that risk? Like I say, they are all competing negatives and positives, and there is no one answer that solves it all. And it’s not my money, but you and your sister sharing closing costs on a free half of a house seems like the least of your problems. Look, I don’t practice that type of law and I have no idea what Texas law is at all. I have no idea how large your dad‘s estate is and what that means from a tax standpoint. I’m not trying to say any of your ideas are wrong, I’m just trying to do what lawyers do - which is “issue spot” to bring up things you might not have thought about to discuss with the actual Texas estate attorney who knows what the hell they are doing. Oh. I don’t know what you mean when you say Why would you be on the hook personally for your dad’s estate assets? Or are you talking about your role as executor paying estate expenses and you don’t want to add closing costs to the pile? Best of luck in any event. -

I would lobby for a subgenre of Westerns and would nominate Shane (1953) starring Alan Ladd in the Lone *Anti-Hero category with Unforgiven (1992) as a modern contender in that subgenre as well. It's a tricky category within Westerns as there have been quite a few solo lead movies in Westerns both before and after the George Steven's directed the highly nominated film that debuted in the 50's but I think it is well known enough among cinephiles to hold the lead in that category. *I went with anti-hero as I am rather fond of morally gray characters. This wasn't the Lone Ranger.
