I’d like to believe Flood is on the chopping block as that post implies but I don’t have a lot of faith in DT’s reliability as a source for this kind of thing.

we finally get to the point where everyone- even those who hate us- has to admit that we’re the best team in europe, and it still doesn’t matter- we’ll just go ahead and lose half of our squad to non contact, soft tissue injuries as if that’s the goal. FUCK.

Jasmine Crockett (Texas Representative)
Bozo_Casanova replied to atomheartbevo's topic in Cloak Room
I’m glad she’s running. Primaries are good. If Talarico can beat her he’ll be in a much stronger position against whoever. -
Jasmine Crockett (Texas Representative)
Bozo_Casanova replied to atomheartbevo's topic in Cloak Room
Interesting- apparently the NRSC ran a bunch of push polls and robocalls to push Crockett into the race. Smart. -
yeah I doubt he was “completely shit faced” while playing. he may be a drunk, though. and drunks lie about fucking everything.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
pearlandhorn replied to RaysBoomBoomRoom's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Not going to name and named…but Chris Jackson is leaving. -
Honestly, it's rape the brand for any and all value. Drive football and any other sports brand equity as high as possible, lots and lots of "remote" learning, get rid of any and all expensive employees that don't deliver additional revenue directly or aren't marketable, then when it's dry, sell it back to the state or let it fold. Expect to see University of Utah remote learning adds during games, lots of roster turn over, and coaching changes as deemed necessary.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Bozo_Casanova replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
Pure fantasy. The truth is far sadder but also boring: Austin isn’t corrupt. It’s just dumb, because the people don’t care. -

Bozo_Casanova replied to crash_davis's topic in Daily Texan
Agree Strongly disagree. That’s not a strawman. But, by “you people” do you mean people who know what they are talking about? Dude, Austin has all kinds of problems, but is no more administratively “wasteful” than any complex, comparably sized enterprise. The policy side is a big problem, but that’s because nobody good runs for office and in general our citizen are indifferent about it. -

Game Week Thread Citrus Bowl, Dec 31st - Texas vs Michigan.

Even if you only seen Reed play the two times he has lost against Texas, do you honestly believe someone could watch that kid throw and become so enamored they just have to play with that guy? I’m pretty sure he went to A&M because of the large sum of money they were offering. -
what do you think the medical school application essays for aspiring proctologists are like? ”my dear grandparents and i were very close. when i was a young child, they became terminally ill from having lodged large foreign objects up their rectums. it then became my mission in life to restore people’s anal health and function, and save lives like theirs”

this makes sense for a private university like SMU but for public universities especially in a state like Iowa or Arizona that only have 3 public universities or Nebraska that has 2 large ones plus a very small one or Wyoming with a single public university it is impossible for those schools to keep out most state students especially in favor of out of state students and in face one can look at the UC System and even the Cal State system and see that it is not football that is driving enrollment at a lot of those universities it is the academics that make them desirable.....in a state that has something like 30 public universities they have the ability to have high admissions standards for in state students all the more so when they have some really good schools available for students with lower freshman metrics they still do a shitty overall job serving their population at the top schools, but it is not because football is making them popular it is because they would rather keep the academics up and let students end up out of state this is an argument that uH, north Texas state and Texas Tech fans cannot grasp.....they think football being good will make them popular and thus attract better students and better students will make improve the reputation of the university.....but the reality is with guaranteed admissions that are extremely low, campus enrollments that are straining the total that gets you to "economies of scale" and is moving towards lack of economies of scale (something that Texas still deals with and has for decades) the only way to make a university more DESIRABLE (popular) AND to raise the academics is to raise enrollment standards and then raise your academic reputation off of that thinking that a very large (or a massive one) can become better academically by enrolling more warm bodies (or good ags WHOOP!) and using sports to help drive that (and in the case of aggy all types of alternate admissions that are very easy to meet and that game the freshman metrics) is the john not-so-sharp plan to fuck over a university, drive their enrollment through the roof, enroll a lot of "going through the motions" types, and to actually take a cut in state funding on a per student basis because a lot of those warm bodies are enrolling in majors that are not funded at a high level by the stare formulas......and it fucks your endowment dollars to student ratio also.....all of which is bad for the overall academic reputation and desirability especially for top students with a lot of options

CD?! I'm pretty sure I got that cassette for christmas as a stocking stuffer to go along with a stereo to play it on. I would not have picked that album at the time but I absolutely wore that tape out. I think the first cassette I remember purchasing with my own money was Thomas Dolby, don't remember the name of the album or any of the other music on it but I still hear him saying Science! when anyone else says the word. You should have seen them play that live in Miami... It was a good time. RIP Perry Farrell's brain

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Full Roster Weaponization
Gidnik replied to closetojumping's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Conner stroh might have been the worst starter at any position that texas has ever put on the field. dont wish him bad or anything but my god he was terrible. -
I don’t know what you want me to say about ASU being in the negative as well. There’s only a select few schools turning a profit. I don’t think that’s news to anyone here. I think I already said more schools are going to do this. If ASU folded up the entire athletic program it wouldn’t have any tangible effect on me. It’s just entertainment. I don’t base my life around the football team or athletic program. And it’s pretty easy there “champ” to talk about Utah doing this when they should just drop football if they are taking PE money to field a team.

https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/104151 it is hard to talk shit about Utah being broke with that going on bad news champ....ASU subsidizes their athletics with $19 million+ in academic side funds over the last 20 years the academic side subsidy for ASU has been at least $10 million per year with the exception of two years when it was $8 and $9 million and for the last 10 years it has not been less than $10 million and in 2022 it was $75 million (da covids)

Nice strawman. You fucking people. -
unpopular answer......Texas already has a "PE deal" with The Moody Center no matter how anyone terms that deal it is a PE deal.....Texas got a facility built (it was stated it was for free, but the Moody Foundation gave a lot of money) and it was a private entity that built it, it is a private entity that manages it, it is a private entity that takes a share of the profits and then shares some with UT (though they do not take that share from the UT sporting events) and in the end they paid up front money to build the facility, take a portion of the profits for a number of years, and then the deal ends worse yet as I have stated in the past Texas used to manage 100% of The Drum (and get the profits), but now they do not have to do that......but somehow I doubt a single person that was on staff (or at least a single position) that was responsible for managing that venue was let go, assigned to the new managing company for Moody, or placed into a different position that was actually a needed job......they are probably just the same people pushing around paperwork that looks a bit different because it is on corporate letterhead and not UT letterhead and they just "read and approve it for UT) with the Utah deal there are out clauses and there is an end point to the deal where Utah gets all of their "stuff' back........I was surprised that it was a shorter period of time than I thought......there is also the odd "see shares to large donors" aspect to it that I find stupid......either large donors are looking for a tax break on a most likely failed investment that gives no return and might go to zero or there are some dumb people out there with a lot of money
