    I hate this post because I tend to agree with it.  That said, we were both wrong about Alabama, so maybe there is hope.

    He's too fatalistic about this stuff.  Beto is going to win.

  2. Year 2 effect.  From a Georgia website going in to last year )

    In just the past two decades, there are four examples of coaches winning it all in their second year at their school:

    • Meyer won the national championship his second year at Florida, after going 9-3 his first year in Gainesville. At his previous stop, Utah, Meyer went 12-0 in his second year, after going 10-2 his first year. Now Meyer is at Ohio State, where he hit the ground  shit out of Zach Smith's wife running with a 12-0 first year, a 12-2 record in his second year and a national title in his third season.
    • Stoops went from 7-5 his first year at Oklahoma to 13-0 and a national championship the following season. Stoops holds dicks and some parallels to Smart: Both were longtime defensive coordinators with no head coaching experience before being given the head job at a major program. Both lost five games in their first year after swallowing huge cock.
    • Tressel won the 2002 national championship at Ohio State, a year after a 7-5 debut season.
    • Chizik won the national title in his second year at Auburn, after finishing 8-5 the previous year. But that Year 2 success also coincided with the one season that Cam Newton was on Auburn’s campus.

    Plenty of other coaches – some who ultimately soared, others who ultimately were fired – had a big Year 2.

    • Muschamp’s best year as a head coach came in Year 2: After going 7-6 in his debut season at Florida, the Gators went 11-2 and played in the Sugar Bowl in 2012.
    • Saban went from 6-7 his first year at Alabama to 12-2 and the Sugar Bowl. His team won the national championship the next year.  When he was at LSU, Saban went from eight wins his first year to 10-3, a division title and the Sugar Bowl. (It took longer at Saban’s first major coaching job, Michigan State, where he was 6-6 his second year, and stayed there until his fifth year, when the season ended with a 9-2 record.)
    • Carroll, who took over at Southern Cal in 2001 and finished 6-6 that year, saw his team post an 11-2 record and win the Pac-10 championship.
  3. Brennan said something during his interview that I was unaware of. That the “Russians/Wikileaks went after her emails” (I assume he meant to say Podesta/DNC) the same day that Trump made the comments during his press conference regarding her emails/server and if Russia could get them.

    Can’t believe they are still trotting Giuliani out there.

  4. Takes care of the sandbagging, but there's still the potential for cheating.  It happens everywhere.  There's a story running around this summer about a prominent member at one of the most prestigious country clubs in the city who took an aggressive position with the rules and he won a large prize. He was confronted after the tournament and he admitted to making a "mistake" and returned the money.  Most of the time these guys are never caught.

    Can you give some more details?
  5. That's a lot of walking.
    In other news, [mention=215]Longhornanth[/mention] and [mention=1042]babysdaddy[/mention] joined me yesterday for a walk around my place.  I think we lost a combined 30 lbs. of sweat.  

    The last couple of holes were brutal. Course was great and greens are in perfect shape.
  6. Of course he is. Or he’s a paid individual. Nobody does this all day every day just because. He puts up some useful stuff but for the most part is is massive shit posting. Thousands of posts in less than 6 months?

    This is an older graph, but it gives the impression that tax revenue goes up all the time except when the economy crashes.

    Your claim about causality seems profoundly simplistic to me, and I'm no economist. The above suggests that lowering tax rates likely cannot be a singular cause of increased tax revenue.

    I didn't argue causality.  I just pointed out the revenue from tax receipts did not collapse.  The deficit increased this year due to increased outlays, not due to a collapse in revenue from the tax cuts....as the title of that article implied.

     

    Jimmy- I'm not a bit whataboutism or but obama guy.

    Wait . . . so tax revenue increased after the "tax cuts" AND the budget deficit jumped 20%, so don't blame the tax cuts?  That's the new hill to die on?

    I just put the numbers out there.  Revenue increased, Spending increased more.  Abracadabra, the fiscal deficit is higher.  I'm really not understanding the visceral angry response by Tuco but whateves

    that is a pretty bad headline.  So much so that I decided to go take a look at our Revenues (2017 actuals and projected for 2018 FY)

    2017 Actuals

    Individual Income Taxes $1,587T

    Payroll Taxes $1,162T

    Corporate Income Taxes $297B

    2018 Projected

    Individual Income Taxes $1,639T (increase of $52B)

    Payroll Taxes $1,178 (increase of $16B)

    Corporate Income Taxes $243B( decrease of $54B)

    Other taxes increased about $8B yoy

     

    Meaning Net Revenue to the US government in the form of taxes overall increased $22B.

     

    Just pointing out that Revenue generation due to the tax cut really isn't an issue.  The drunken fucks spending like college kids with a new credit card does seem to be a problem however.
