  1. That's a pretty sick edit. We just announced our first player signing this morning - Ivan Melendez. The football guys have been harder to get ahold of, though I see that Bijan has an email in his insta profile now so I'll reach out. I don't really consider other NFT projects as competition (more on that below) so good for him. This is the slide from our proposal to players/agents that we use to explain NFTs. It's simplified but that's the gist of it. This is the NFT video explanation and blockchain video I link in there. We're developing on Dapper Labs's blockchain, Flow, because NoName is right when he says it's way ahead of the pack. They have Top Shot with the NBA and just announced a new partnership with La Liga to create a similar project. We're having to build our app from scratch but I think it will be worth it. I don't want to get too technical, but Flow is just the best blockchain option for NFTs. If you want to buy a $20 Bijan card from Candy, you could end up paying a $30+ blockchain fee to do so and then wait a couple hours for it to appear in your wallet. Once we get up and running (in about a month hopefully), you'll be able to buy packs for $5-20, all taxes and fees included, and it should be processed quickly. That's why I don't consider other NFTs as competition. We'll have a scalable platform for all Texas players, not just the stars. Our royalty % for players is 2-3X what leagues like the NFL and NBA get for licensing deals (and will rise once we can build some capital). Our license is non-exclusive, so guys like Bijan are free to sign other NFT deals that might have higher price points like Candy. I consider those products to be more analogous to signed jerseys whereas ours are more like traditional trading cards - affordable, scalable, and inclusive. And we have plans for gamification so that you actually interact with your NFTs and they have value beyond sitting in your collection. I haven't reached out to him yet but this type of NFT content is something we have discussed

BREAKING: Delta Airlines announces that it has permanently banned over 1,600 people for not wearing masks, sent the names of over 600 banned passengers to the Federal Aviation Administration, and is now asking other airlines to share their “no-fly” lists. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/23/business/delta-no-fly-list.html

  10. I'm taking the optimistic view of that article because there is common ground to be had in there. For example: Don't go to the hospital. Try whatever the fuck home remedy you want that you found on Facebook. Make Jesus your copilot and Darwin your PCP. Can't wait to see the results.

  14. Yep, our players get a signing bonus, royalties on primary sales, and royalties on re-sales. Unfortunately, NIL contracts have to expire when players leave the program. We're exploring workarounds so that guys can still benefit after leaving campus. ETA: I don't mean to clog up this thread but I trust y'all will tell me to stfu when the time comes.

  20. And with that strat, my original vision for an “American classics” collection is complete. From left to right, ‘61 ES-335, ‘58 Les Paul, ‘63 Telecaster, ‘60 Strat. They are custom shop reissues and not the real thing of course, but they are all superb guitars that sound like their targets and are as close as I’ll ever get to real vintage guitars from that era.

  21. I have to stop eating beans with dinner. Wife woke me up this morning as she left for work and said, “Hey, you farted on my leg last night. It’s started out with small drops then, it just got louder and more rough. I literally thought you were taking a shit on my knee.” Did it sm… “Yes, it smelled.” 😁

  26. I'm not sure if we'll win given we've been incredibly inconsistent, however if we lose the Sarkisian honeymoon period will 100% be over. There are a lot of reasons you could rationalize the Arkansas loss: perfect environment for them at home for their super bowl, card not playing well in his first true road start, coordinators still tinkering with what we can/can't execute well in our second noncon game, etc. Lose this game at home to tech after seeing and having time to coach around our obvious deficiencies, and it will become clear we're in for a real rough time in conference this year. It will also cast serious doubt on whether this staff has improved the team over where Herman left us. I don't particularly care about beating tech, but I care about beating tech as a signal that we've improved from game 2 to game 4 and have a chance to compete with the better teams in conference.

  27. What we really want is a dedicated tik-tok house filled with influencers, because no matter how many times someone tries to explain that concept I won’t understand the value of it either. Therefore, it must be important.

  28. This is all super general. Im giving examples that are sporting card ish adjacent. Same concept works for artwork NFTs though. Basically this is a trading card (Non fungible token) that lives on the block chain instead of in your hands. You "own" it, it lives in a crypto wallet you control and only X are minted of each one. You can sell them, hold on to them or lose access to your account and lose them lol Some are more rare than others, in this case the Bijan has a 1920? commons, 100 rare and 1 epic. Bitski/Candy is significantly behind Dapper Labs/Top Shot when it comes to basically anything from the actual NFTs to marketplace to fully baked concept. This is basically just some digital moving shit With his signature vs TS which is a specific play from the season with the actual footage of said play. It's not like I'm planning on passing this down to my grandkids but it's a cool thing to have.

  33. The original cartoon dick NFT has got to be worth at least $350,000 on the open market. I bet Liucci will bid on it and then do a copyright claim on the gif, but he may have to win an auction against user BStoops6969.
