  1. Perfect Game moving to Cedar Park. Boost for area baseball. (excerpts) A baseball and softball scouting organization, Perfect Game, is moving its national headquarters to Cedar Park as part of an economic deal that will bring the city more than $20 million in revenue over 10 years, an official said. The revenue will come from rent the company will pay for city-owned land as well as hotel taxes and sales taxes generated when visitors come to the youth baseball tournaments that Perfect Game hosts, said Ben White, the city's economic development director. "Teams from around the nation will come to Perfect Game’s complex for tournaments, resulting in 60,000-plus room nights in the first year and around 150,000 room nights by year 10," the city said. Perfect Game also will allow the city use of the ballfields for the community, local nonprofits and government entities for a minimum of 25 days per year with no cost to the city. "This project will benefit the community through the large local economic impact Perfect Game delivers by hosting best-in-class tournaments and related activities that attract hundreds of thousands of families from across the United States,” Perfect Game President Jerry Ford said in the release. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/10/04/baseball-scouting-companys-move-cedar-park-bring-20-million-city/5845573001/

    TEXAS QB TALK

    You are correct ! Sark just stated in press conf Card will play this year. Dicker preferred another holder (Zach Edwards). (note to self, don't overreact to Statesman)

    TEXAS QB TALK

    Not sure if posted. Sarkisian is clearly all-in with Thompson. Backup Hudson Card was taken off field goal holding duties against TCU. Card has played in four games, the maximum allowed to preserve an athlete’s redshirt status. Officially, Card would still have four years of eligibility remaining if he redshirts. The 2020 season was wiped off the board, from an eligibility standpoint, because of the pandemic. The NCAA allowed all athletes to freeze their eligibility. Thus, Card could technically still be classified as a redshirt freshman in 2022. https://www.hookem.com/story/sports/football/2021/10/03/texas-football-sarkisian-looks-like-hes-all-casey-thompson/5934847001/

  6. Just saw below article on a newsfeed. Would this apply to your order ? Ford is offering a $2,000 discount to customers who forgo a custom order and buy an in-stock vehicle instead. According to a letter sent to dealers, Ford says the latest offer is in place "understanding that some customers may not be able to wait to take delivery of a 22MY vehicle." While that sounds reasonable, it runs somewhat contrary to a push this past summer to get buyers to wait with a $1,000 custom order discount. The latest deal replaces the order bonus and will run alongside a new incentive extending discounts to most 2022-model-year vehicles. Ford's program bulletin says the in-stock discount is available through November 1st to customers with a "verified unscheduled 21MY Retail Order." Most models are eligible with the exception of the new Ford Bronco, Maverick, F-150 Tremor, F-150 Lightning, and upcoming E-Transit Having said that, the so-called "21MY In-Stock Customer Satisfaction Private Offer" isn't like most Ford incentives and rebates. As a private offer, you won't see it advertised. Therefore, your ability to actually take advantage of the offer could be limited based on whether or not you have an order and its current status. It's unclear if the deal will encourage buyers to trade-up, trade-down, or simply choose a configuration they didn't intend to buy from the start. For now, this appears to be yet another example of Ford creating a way to keep buyers from jumping ship to a competitor during an unprecedented situation with no end in sight. But is a $2,000 discount really that good of a deal if there aren't a ton of cars to choose from? For example, we're tempted to praise a $2,000 discount on the Mustang Mach-E, a model with basically no factory rebates. However, strong demand has resulted in up to a 28-week wait time on new Mach-E orders. If you happen to be eligible for Ford's new offer, getting the chance to save an extra $2,000 during a period of high car prices could seem like a good deal. However, odds are you may be limited by the choices near you. As a result, we recommend considering your options carefully before making a decision. https://www.carsdirect.com/deals-articles/ford-paying-customers-2-000-to-buy-in-stock-cars
  7. Per @petscii above, we play San Jac, 24 Oct. Reviewing the archives, in 2019 we played McClennan and San Jac and 3 Fall World Series games. That schedule was released 9/26 so perhaps schedule will be released next week. https://www.njcaa.org/sports/bsb/2021-22/div1/schedule?teamId=dk6xuncvnirvfu7x https://texassports.com/news/2019/9/26/baseball-announces-2019-fall-schedule.aspx
  8. If Weigman enrolls in Jan he would not be eligible for the MLB draft. Also, the MLB draft is not as appealing with reduced rounds and bonuses (unless you are a top prospect). Weigman may choose to play both and later make his career decision. If you are not familiar with Brauninger, he is an aggy recruiting analyst who provides baseball news.
  9. Originally, were you satisfied with their explanation of "joint ownership", or do they know something you don't ? Difficult situation when dealing with Family. Good luck my friend in making the best decision !
  10. Your motive on this thread is evident to all.
  11. Thanks for the reply. PK may have to come down to the field vs upstairs. If Butch Jones and Ark St beat Washington Saturday, Lake may be available to help his friend.
  12. Could you breakdown the below series after we scored beginning at 1:03:33 ? Failed corner blitz, check the defensive formation on the run at 1:04:20. Terrible. Don't buy Sark's explanation of being worn down.
  13. https://pages.ebay.com/cl/en-us/coverage/BuyerProtectionForBuyers.html Had a similar experience but with a less costly item (running shoes). Check the above link if you have not seen. Were you able to contact the seller ? Go thru the process of online contact. iirc, I was able to contact by phone (or may have been Paypal) Google around for avenues. May take time, but should be able to get it resolved with full refund.
  14. Alabama vs. Arkansas - Team Statistics - December 12, 2020 - ESPN 227 passing, 216 rushing, 2020 https://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup?gameId=401110831 280 passing, 179 rushing, 2019 ESPN made the point 179 was below average, who cares if you win 48-7 and have 459 total.
  15. Good points ! Other than talent, should S&C be questioned for the OL ? Read that Becton has different philosophy/techniques ?
  16. Obvious he can't handle both punting and field goals - mentally.
  17. Fall Practice has started, don't know when. As mentioned above, apparently there is a Fall schedule. May want to follow twitter for updates. Support staff needs to improve communication to the fan base. https://twitter.com/TexasBaseball?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author Melendez working out at 1B.
  18. https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=631461 Chase Sowell is an excellent baseball player - plays the amateur elite level in Summer circuit. Not sure how he is being recruited for baseball, MLB draft projections behind paywall, doubt if he is high at this point. Add some weight, reminiscent of Ken Griffey. Jr. from the right side.
  19. Special teams - punt return team, not sure about others.
  20. Michigan defeated Ohio 9-1 in the Great Lakes Regional. Ohio made the LLWS as runnerup. Should be a great game.
  21. Not exactly sure, will check. Thanks for the info !
  22. Upshur County - low producing. Awhile back, I dm'd you about the future of that area. Thanks again for your replies.
  23. Did you all see this article ? Any merit ? My interest is being royalty owner. (excerpts) Oil prices could be setting up for a major rally, one strategist says. Though the energy sector has cooled off in recent months, U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude’s price chart just flashed a rare signal, Miller Tabak’s Matt Maley told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Wednesday. “Crude oil has seen what’s called a golden cross on its weekly chart,” the firm’s chief market strategist said. A golden cross occurs when an asset’s shorter-term moving average crosses above its longer-term moving average and is broadly seen as a signal of further upside. In oil’s case, “that’s only happened three times since the beginning of this century and each of those three times has been followed by a very strong further rally in crude oil, anywhere from 20%-50%,” Maley said. “If oil continues to rally here, energy stocks should continue to bounce as well and I think that’s a group where I think people can do really well for the last third of the year.” Investors should consider adding some downside protection to their portfolios as the market enters the seasonally difficult September-December trading period, BK Asset Management’s Boris Schlossberg said in the same interview. “I’d call this the Terminator market. It’s always coming back. It refuses to die,” Schlossberg said. “But ... I think there is certainly some potential for danger here.” With bond yields creeping up as inflationary pressures persist, the odds of a correction in high-valuation stocks are also rising, said Schlossberg, his firm’s managing director of FX strategy. “I think the single best bet here for downside protection is to simply buy the 380-360 QQQ put spread because that’ll give you protection to the downside on Nasdaq, which is the most volatile of the indices,” he said. That represents a bet that Invesco’s QQQ ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq, will stay below $380 a share through the trade’s November expiry. For the trade to generate its maximum profit, QQQ would have to fall below $360 a share. QQQ was trading around $373 midday Thursday. “If it works, it’s going to give you a very decent protection, at least about 5% to the downside,” Schlossberg said. “The higher those bond yields creep up, the more likely the Nasdaq is going to correct because the Nasdaq is basically operating on the assumption of free money,” he said. “The moment that money becomes even a tiny bit more expensive, valuations are going to start to contract. So, to me, that’s probably the single biggest catalyst to the downside as we go into the fall season.” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/26/oil-has-only-done-this-twice-in-20-years-it-could-mean-a-50-percent-rally.html
