  1. Past hour
  2. Horns will have a lot of opt-outs. I anticipated that these would be two completely new teams, back when the matchup was announced.
  3. First, the 09 defense was better than the 08 one. I feel like some of you guys are young so let us olds regale you with tales of Muschamp's prowess as a defensive coach. Lamar Houston was a slow RB/LB from Colorado when he came to Texas. We tried him off the edge but when Boom came he recognized his power, put a lil weight on him and slid him inside to 3 tech where he would be a disruptor. Henry Melton came to Texas as a 240lb goal line RB and we used him as such until Boom came and flipped him to his side of the ball and got him to the league as a big DE who could slide inside. Sergio Kindle was a 5 star LB who couldn't play traditional LB because he was stupid. Boom put him at Jack end where he would go on to decapitate many a QB in his career. Earl Thomas was a undersized 3 star recruit from Orange Texas who was never supposed to play here. He had decent speed but was undersized at 5'9-10. Boom got him and turned him into the best safety in the country, and next to Thomas was Michael Taafe..I mean Blake Gideon, the Michael Taafe before Michael Taafe. People see the finished product with all these NFL players and don't realize that it was Boom's eye for talent that created that roster. They weren't all bunch of 5 stars. Guys were lost with no real role on the team. You had some real dummies like Chykie and Sergio.
  4. the "25" number is unconfirmed, the number traveling is unknown, the only hard data is 22 are out of eligibility https://www.reddit.com/r/MichiganWolverines/comments/1pub3dh/removed_by_moderator/ https://www.si.com/college/michigan/michigan-football-could-have-massive-amount-of-opt-outs-for-citrus-bowl
  5. Im not quibbling over a few percentage points. The broader AI market - which is critical to a discussion of a AI bubble brings total GPU spend down by over 50%. That’s not insignificant. There are key differences with the dot com bubble too, the companies spending heavily on AI are the big tech companies that are already profitable, allowing them to make absurd investments for long term market capture. that alone is a massive difference. in the dot com bubble anyone with a “.com” was automatically seen as inherently valuable. The value in these AI platforms is far beyond a farce. Further, those “.com” companies were largely unprofitable. While there are new comers that will fail in the AI race there are hundreds of companies currently monetizing AI in their tech stack providing real value for revenue. there will be a shakeout of companies that can’t compete but I don’t see a bubble in the same sense. i do see a zombie economy though and as soon as AI has a pull back, I do think there will be pain. so for all intents and purposes - except picking long term winners and losers - it may all be the same.
  6. Anyway, better advice than Slutcon is: try to become an acquaintance or friend of a woman you are not sexually attracted to. Go in with the intention of getting to know a woman you don’t think you’d ever want to fuck, and don’t act like you want to fuck her. Don’t even think about it. - Maybe you’ll make a friend. Awesome! She will also likely help you meet more women. Use your new social skills there. - Maybe she won’t want to get to know you. Maybe she won’t like being around you. Maybe your problem is just “people.” Time to reassess. Tweak your game. Try again champ! - Maybe this is a meet cute and over time you will fall for each other. This won’t happen but it could. But don’t try to make it happen. If you do that you’re doing it wrong! Back to step one— DO NOT TRY TO SLEEP WITH HER. - Maybe she will mistake friendly interest for romantic interest and you will need to grapple with that. Look at you- putting someone in the “friend zone.” Are you a bad or cruel person? Is it your fault that she couldn’t accept what you felt and were offering? No? Many life lessons to ponder here.
  7. Is this your way of bragging you have 3 pensions?
  8. glad I went ahead with curing yesterday. lolol
  9. Seem to remember a line from Tombstone that would be fitting here. Johnny Ringo said it im thinking.
  10. At what point would it be appropriate for them to voice their love of step-sibling porn into the conversation at church? Asking for a friend.
  11. The five-minute Trojan Horse sequence that played at the IMAX before Avatar was awesome.
  12. Stone's job should be on the line at the trade deadline. His off-season outside of Durant has been atrocious.
  13. To continually ridicule you for it.
  14. That Waco location seems pretty hit and miss to me. I was pretty disappointed the last time we stopped through there, but this tray looks outstanding!
  15. I don’t know how many times I need to tell you that I was wrong but AGAIN, I was wrong. I saw him in the Vegas airport in June and he said hello. I wished him well. There is a big difference between the kid I knew and the adult that makes decisions only in his interests. What else do you want?
  16. Holy shit, that is a lot of whiffs by the 9.99ers.
  17. He was also a freshman. A lot of average defenders struggle as freshmen because they have never had a true position. They play SS for their high school team but 2B, 3B, and OF for their travel teams. They never consistently play the same position until college. I bet he is much improved defensively this year. That doesn't mean he will ever be great defensively though.
  18. What kind of cell plan are you on dude? TracFone?
  19. I mostly agree with this but for the incels and weirdos who go to Slutcon I think it still won’t work and they’ll need training wheels. Church is for sure a place where a slightly inexperienced, or dorky awkward guy can meet women with a support network of people cheering for them. Works well for our generation. I don’t think we appreciate how nuked this generation of weirdos are. They are not going to be able to: - Politely feign interest in the sermon or Bible study she wants to talk or ask about - Spend a few minutes jawboning with the dads there about a game or camping or how business is going - Slap on a pair of khakis and a button-down and get a haircut that looks like the married men there (signaling that they are in the mix for that future). - Get acquainted with a church girl, accept that this particular church girl isn’t interested, and then show up next Sunday and be polite and genuinely friendly, and demonstrate that maybe you’re OK for some other church girl even if the first didn’t work out. - Making friends with a church girl THEY are not interested in or even—gasp— with another man there so they can practice doing things like “talking to people” or “compromising on an activity” or “grabbing a burger just to hang out. These guys are FRIED man. They can’t interact with women without either explicitly trying to fuck them, getting angry that they don’t want to fuck, or treating them like non-entities because they aren’t fuckable. They don’t make friends, they just look for other dudes who validate their women hate. They don’t have normal or non-off putting interests and can’t pretend they do. A lot of these skills they can’t or don’t want to learn and they didn’t learn them in youth group or wherever. My folks are in leadership in a church and have talked to me about 1-2 burnouts— 18-20 with no job or prospects— who actually where part of the church with their families. They failed to develop and they’ve had to be talked to (and their parents) about how church is for everyone, and that means these dudes can’t creep on girls and act wounded when girls don’t reciprocate.

  21. Yes. I was surprised to see he's a high school coach nowadays.
