  3. Here's the thing I have been hypothesizing about regarding NIL versus the bag game for years - once there is an open market for a good or service to be consumed, the black market for that same good or service becomes rapidly perverted by adverse selection. We're seeing it here. The worst kind of mercenary shitheels will be the remaining participants in the black market, on both the buyer and seller side, while everyone else magnetizes towards regulated transparency without underlying threat. In short, I said there would remain a bag game because black markets don't simply cease to exist when they'll continue to serve a purpose. There's a reason moonshine is still bootlegged in part of this country. There will always be the shortsighted, greedy uncle in the recruiting game. Those guys are also dumber than a sack of hammers. Everyone else sees that the size of the NIL opportunity is far larger in both options and money involved. Texas ATM is the college sports version of the General Lee. Jimbo Fisher is Midget Bo Duke. The rest of the world is moving quickly by them and they're whistling Dixie and trying to beat the sheriff across the county line with a trunk full of white lightning. I hope they continue to be this stupid. It's fueled by their deep-seated insecurities at both the institutional and personal levels, so it has a chance to remain a major problem for them. This spring and summer, I think I have mentioned this too, Fisher and crew were mocking the notion of NIL versus the immediacy of their bags. They thought they were playing the winning hand. God. It's fucking hilarious and gratifying at the same time to witness this shit.

  4. hey buddy if you don't want to be alarmist, you should be more specific and not vague so that you don't feed into the braindead rhetoric about how "both sides are the same because election lawsuit" Fetterman is suing to ensure that every lawfully cast mail-in ballot is counted, even if they forgot to fill in the date, or put the wrong date. Fetterman argues in the lawsuit that not counting the votes on the grounds of an issue with the date violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which states that election officials cannot deny someone the right to vote based on an error on the ballot that is β€œnot material” to determining whether the individual is qualified to vote under state election law. That's a far cry to what trumpco did with their election lawsuits. You're employing a disinformation tactic of false equivalency. Fuck you, fascist.

  10. Liucci: Jimbo Fisher's extension will be another 'bargain' for Texas A&M By Billy Liucci September 1, 2021 97 15,543 Tweet Share Jump to Discussion Key notes from Billy Liucci interview You're going to see this contract be 10 years, starting from now, with an average right around $9 million per year. You're starting the existing deal over with a significant raise to make him the second-highest paid coach in the SEC behind Nick Saban and one of the highest-paid in college football. This is a great deal. We're going to look at it again as a great bargain. We've been talking about it for the last three years and how wrong people were the first time. Now they're doing it again. People don't seem to understand the no-buyout thing, and that makes me laugh. The buyout is $9 million a year, $90 million guaranteed. Nick Saban doesn't look like he's going to retire anytime soon, but say Alabama comes after Jimbo Fisher in three years when Saban is done. That's the only school that could take Fisher with the money that Texas A&M is paying. If Alabama does that, it means the next three years have been really good in Aggieland. A buyout does nothing. When was the last time a school didn't hire a coach they wanted because of a buyout? Do you think a one-year buyout, another $9 million, would keep A&M from going to get a coach? The buyout is $90 million. It also keeps the coach here. It's like the SEC not having a grant of rights. The SEC basically says, "You want to leave? Go." I don't think there is any danger of Fisher leaving. The danger is losing money. If it doesn't work, you lose money. Everyone is making a big deal about it, but it's like me and Olin living in the same neighborhood. If I saw him driving a Maserati, that's Olin's business. Not mine. The way the media is acting would be like me walking around the neighborhood calling Olin an idiot for spending that money on a car. Who's the idiot in that scenario? A&M is three years into this, and they have a pretty good idea of what they're investing in. People are saying it's only one good year, but it's not. It's one great year and three years of progress. Jimbo's first year was a nice, strong season. They finished ranked and won a bowl game, playing great football at the end of the year. His third year was a top-five finish, an Orange Bowl championship and a legitimate argument to be in the playoff. In 12 years as a coach, Fisher has a national title, a playoff berth and another top-five finish. He probably has five top-ten finishes in 12 years to go along with that. At what point do you look at that resume and say that Fisher is an elite head coach in this game? He is. It's not debatable. Texas A&M has a coach that is among the very best, the top five, in this game. If you look at what Fisher is doing in recruiting and don't feel extremely confident in your investment, I don't know what to tell you. Regarding the timing, coaches don't like negotiating during the season. What if Texas A&M reached the playoff this year and LSU spiraled? I think Texas A&M did the right thing. We got our guy, and he's locked up for as long as he wants to coach. This guy won a national title. He won 27 of 28 games with Jameis Winston in 2013 and 2014. People want to say it was all Winston, but you can't take away a guy's best player. If you take away Vince Young, what did Mack Brown do? Take away Joe Burrow, Ed O doesn’t win a championship. I know what Dan Mullen has done, and I know what Jim Harbaugh has done. What in the hell have they done that Jimbo hasn't done? Mullen won a New Year's Six game, and Florida caught some criticism for that extension. The blowback shows how big the spotlight is on Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher. For the people that say A&M isn't relevant, you're hearing most of that from Texas, Oklahoma and some from LSU. They're whining fake tough guys. If you say a negative thing about Oklahoma, the Sooners go insane. Somebody asked me if I'd rather have Lincoln Riley or Jimbo at Texas A&M, at the answer is Jimbo. Riley is a good coach, but he coaches in a league where he has five times the talent as anybody he plays. They're both good coaches, but it's apples to oranges. Jimbo Fisher is a great fit at Texas A&M. Texas might be the most delusional fanbase in American sports. They're loud on Twitter. They get these talking points, and no matter how bad their team is or how good things are going in College Station, they cannot come off their talking points. How much money did they pay to fire Herman and hire Steve Sarkisian? We know what Sark has done. You want to boil it down to Fisher not winning a title in three years? You spent $75 million to hire Sarkisian. LSU is just scared. They had that great year and smoked the Aggies in 2019, but they've lost two of three to Texas A&M. Jimbo Fisher is the guy they've tried to hire twice. Ed Orgeron is a trainwreck of a coach, and they know it. They were hoping they could possibly hire Fisher at some point, and the Aggies just put up a wall around College Station. A day ago, what was the big cry coming out of Austin, Baton Rouge and Norman? That Fisher would be in Baton Rouge in a year. That was the battle cry from those three fanbases, and they wouldn't shut up about it. Today, 10 years and $90 million later, A&M is stupid for paying it? It's a constantly moving target.

  11. Local news. The far right nutjobs who took over dfw area school district boards in 2020 were soundly defeated in Round Rock ISD. They funded candidate s for all 5 open seats and lost all 5 races. After touting their 11 races, 11 wins accomplishment in 2020, I am pleasantly surprised.

  19. Good thing that asshole released the data about Abbott's phone calls during the mass shooting the MORNING OF ELECTION DAY. Probably wouldn't have made a difference, but still worthless. Seriously, I'm done with Texas. If we can't get rid of a governor that oversaw hundreds of texans freezing to death, little kids getting massacred and doing nothing about it, and wasting all of our taxpayer money at the border for imaginary reasons, this state deserves nothing.

  21. I missed the 2017 parade because my wife wanted to book a trip to Disney world during the world series and harbored that ever since then and it, up until yesterday, was a sore topic for us. A dream of mine was to attend a world series parade for the Astros with my dad and brothers. That was before I thought about getting married and having kids, you know the good old days. Well, yesterday my dream came true and was able to do just that. Easily a top 5 day in my life, actually these last few days have been amazing. The highest of highs and super thankful and appreciative of all that's happened. Rides like this don't come along often, at least to teams that I typically root for and I wanted to make sure I was around as much as possible for them. Game 6 - check Parade - check Astros dynasty - check Some pics from yesterday, half of yall know me anyway so nothing to hide. My dad and Chita, lol.
