  1. $130,545 is top 20% for US household income ($71,100 media) I’d say one needs to be at that level or higher to live comfortably in California. Sister lives in Santa Monica less than a mile from the beach. I’d live there in a heartbeat if I could afford it, I think most would. The outdoor environment and experience is incredible
  2. Not her or a very thin version of her caused by a medical condition? (was already skinny) If there was a real story Megan would be all over it.
  3. No explosive device found after reports of suspicious package in Downtown Austin https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/austin-police-presence-downtown-sxsw-6th-street/269-423bc2c3-ff9d-4fd0-bb64-2fb3e1e37e0d
  4. The previous season had an average attendance average of 9,779 per home game. In 21, at the Drum, in Beard's first season, attendance rose 26.8 % to 12,398 per game.
  5. The article posted was from 2021. The last home sellout before that was in 2016 vs #1 Kansas. So after the second sellout in 2021, Near had doubled the number of home sellouts over the past 5 years. Lmao
  6. When it comes to student attendance, Chris Beard is slowly but surely changing Texas basketball culture – The Daily Texan Finance senior Spencer Van Gelder was one of the students denied entry. Saturday’s game was the first time that he was turned away from the Frank Erwin Center. “We went to the student section entrance,” Van Gelder said. “At that gate, they told us that they weren’t letting any more students in.” For Texas, a full student section is almost unheard of. The last time a men’s basketball game sold out was in 2016, when Texas hosted No. 1 Kansas. After Saturday’s 52-51 win over Tennessee, Beard thanked the fans that sold out the Drum for affecting the outcome of the game. “Today’s crowd was the best in college basketball,” Beard said. “There might have been one as good, but there wasn’t one better and they helped us win the game.” Beard has gone out of his way to incentivize students to show up to games and build a home-court advantage. The head coach visited multiple fraternity houses in the preseason, hosted a party at the UT tower for the student body in November and hosted an event on campus called “Coach Beard and Coach Beard,” interviewing actor Brendan Hunt from the popular TV show Ted Lasso. The program also continues to provide freebies for students that show up to games. Free breakfast tacos were given out to the first 500 students that showed up to the Jan. 22 game against Oklahoma State, which had 13,203 people in attendance. The Erwin Center’s total capacity is 16,540. Beard is slowly but surely building up a basketball culture at Texas that aims to compare to blue blood programs like Kansas and Kentucky. He and his team have already experienced the environment of a “basketball school” — loud and sold-out student sections. Texas’ game against Gonzaga was a “tent city” game for the Bulldogs with students camping out days in advance of the game to secure their seats inside the arena.
  7. I get confused, do we give all of the credit to RT for last season, or are we still calling him a first year coach?
  8. This team has two high level offensive players, the rest are unreliable at best, inept at worst. Abmas looks bad some games because we can’t punish teams offensively for over playing him. He is successful in spite of the roster. Disu is basically the same, and when he goes out Max is 5 on 1 offensively. And RT fucked up putting Horton back in the starting 5. Our best chance for high level wins is to surround Disu and Max with our three best defenders and Brock.
