  1. I mean this is straight up because of Columbia and a bunch of shitheads on other campuses and an overreaction to keep that from happening. It’s not a nothingburger and it was completely fucked in its handling and Hartzel lost control of the university and what is important about this kind of thing. He allowed the university to become a political plaything.
  2. I think it’s obvious what happened here and a clear overreaction on all fronts. Pro Palestine demonstrations have been a thing in Austin for a while now since the conflict started. The UT student body overreacted and jumped on a hype cycle because of the Columbia/USC/<insert other academic institution here> thing, many of which turned campuses into shitholes and are actually a problem. this isn’t up for debate. Tent camps and shanty towns aren’t safe for anyone and shouldn’t be allowed on campus under the guise of protest. the UT leadership should have worked with the protest group to help them amplify their voices the best with help from the university and law enforcement to make sure things went well and according to plan. Instead they overreacted to the hype cycle and assumed that tent camps were going to happen, because it was more likely than it was 2 weeks ago for that to the the case. the cops overreacted by being literal shitbags and not just letting the protest happen all day and keeping people from setting up camp or long term occupation. Arresting people is absolutely insane. Hartzel fucked up and is in the middle of a political shitstorm. He underreacted and was too slow to act. He should have gone to the organizer in person on campus and talked to them in front of everyone to say what was and wasn’t gonna happen and if they didn’t listen he was going to have to call authorities. Instead he sat in his ivory tower and fucked the entire thing. His campus was militarized and there was more violence caused by the police than the students. His statement after was completely inappropriate and clearly not in the best interest for the student, faculty or institutional population.
  3. This can honestly just merge into the general abbot thread.
  4. Being pro Palestine is not being anti Israel. I do think that this was a poor judgement on all fronts. Columbia getting on the news for the wrong things is not good for all the other protests. It’s like BLM riots vs BLM protests. It all turned bad once the riots happened one place because inevitably everyone thinks it devolves to riot. UT students after getting not approved should have worked to get approval or put the shit on blast and do a PR campaign for free speech. Texas Admin fucked up for not approving a protest that seemed fine. State fucked up by sending in literally riot police. Texas president fucked up because he did nothing when he was supposed to be leading.
  5. If you know AA there’s neighborhoods that are close to the elementary school that you get dropped off in. Off the main arteries and in a black car they will do that. In an Uber you are correct.
  6. You'll be fine. They don't drop off miles away lol.
  7. I'm in the AT&T Conference center attending SDC 2024 and they just announced that the Texas national guard has been mobilized to neutralize a riot near the convention, but by the time the conference is over they should be gone, but not to go "north on campus or just north of campus" LOL
  8. VW and Mercedes not being mentioned by convenience of US based is nice. They are doing really really good work.
  9. His time is worth more than that. I don’t think they would do that for pretty simple reasons that with the fine they could levy they could hire 10 people to do that hour of work.
  10. Why would he liquidate. He will leverage them. It’s the play.
  11. If he goes to jail he’s not gonna fundraise shit. I think some of you have failed to realize how tapped out his base is. They have been grifted completely. DJT is the latest thing that may work against him. Now people feel like they are going to win when he wins - why just donate when you can buy DJT shares. Huge miscalculation.
  12. The judge is going to hold him in contempt. He did this on purpose since the judge didn’t come down hard today on it. I think he’s playing a game of fuck around and find out with someone who isn’t fucking around.
  13. Alabama doesn’t have a huge fan base and isn’t a huge brand, they also have shit got message boards or online media in general.
  14. The reason it works is because we only care about Texas football. The business is just around exactly what you said. We don’t want to help anyone else do it, cuz no other fan base is really like the Texas one. I think we often forget that Texas is the biggest brand in college athletics, especially football. There’s a handful of others that are in the same echelon, but only like 5 schools. The rest are just more about the college football aggregate than a standalone thing. I need to see if I can just make the widget open in new tab for you. That would probably be better.
  15. This thread getting to crypto as its final form is hilarious.
