  1. Or get a second job in one of the many slaughterhouses and meat processing plants that are about to see a 75% decrease in workers once Miller convinces Trump and Elmo to send ICE agents their way. Those hard workin', back bone of 'murica, honest day's work for an honest day's pay types are gonna love trying to make their $80K truck's note on an extra $7/hour.
  2. From my home office in Cedar Park while I curse the asshole who scheduled a 90 minute project review on the Friday before the holidays... FIGHT!
  3. Same here. After 30+ years in corporate America I was downsized because 50-something middle managers w/ pensions are easy targets for elimination. I've been working for the COA for almost 18 mos and been promoted from supervisor to manager in that time. I'm re-energized, enjoying new challenges, and am enjoying the process of teaching my direct reports how to work with a different mindset while developing their leadership skills. Corporate or government. Makes no difference. Bureaucracy exists in both arenas.
  4. One week until Christmas eve. I'm guessing you travelers will be hitting the roads and airports en masse this weekend. Be safe out there.
  5. The I [emoji3590] sushi decal on the bottom left is a nice touch.
  6. 7AM every Saturday at HEB curbside. I'm home by 7:15 with the groceries & on my 2nd cup of coffee before my wife gets up most days.
  7. And another one.
  8. DPI on 4th and 15. This game, man.
  9. Huge false start not called on 4th down against the Rams.
  10. This Rams v Bills game is a blast.
  11. Nabers just did a face plant running right down the field. Can the Giants get into FG range to tie this?
  12. Darnold's having a day in MN. Two touchdowns apiece to Jefferson and Addison.
  13. Dec 21st, 3PM for Texas v Clemson.
  14. Texas at #5!!!!
  15. $1.2 million on the line.
  16. Saban drops another one. "I think they're both bullshitting us!"
  17. They seemed to acknowledge the small crowds at the start by saying they're expecting the numbers to grow throughout the broadcast. That's the other big disadvantage about not being on a campus where students can party all night then queue up: the convention center probably only opened up an hour before broadcast. Maybe people will continue to trickle in.
  18. Dez thinks the solution to fights caused by flag planting or players posing in the endzone is leaving it up to the stadiums to employ enough police & security to stop it. What the ever loving fuck? He wants $12/hour security guards running out to stop college football players? Or trigger happy cops to start reaching for their sidearms when they feel threatened?
  19. Saban on the flag planting issue. "I think fining these schools $100K for this is like worrying about mouse manure when you're up to your ears in elephant shit."
  20. No idea. Where else would they put it at MB Stadium? It's not like the parking lot of an NFL stadium is an inspiring backdrop.
  21. Wow, this GameDay inside of a convention hall is...lifeless.
  22. Yeah, can't see what he'd bring to the table at this point in his career. Gundy's in no man's land now. Will he really want to coach again once the Pokes get rid of him? Or does he take a studio job?
  23. So this all reads like the oSu admin really, REALLY wants to move on from MG. But they sure as fuck don't want to pay him a Jimbo-lite severance on the way out. Now they're trying to force him to take a hometown discount while keeping their boosters lathered up with the promise of spending the money on NIL. Plus Gundy's gonna have to agree to input from others (read: we're hiring your staff) for the vacant coordinator positions. And likely been told he has to make a bowl game in '25 or he's gone. -- the preceding opinion was not brought to you by a mother. Of children.
