    The article mentions everything but where baseball will be on radio.

    Baseball is #2 to football in my interest, and IDGAF if basketball is on the radio at all if it pushes baseball out of the way.

    I hope Texas Baseball isn't relegated to a 400-foot temporary road-games transmitter for home games.  

    And definitely, effectively ending Texas Baseball radio (since they didn't care to explicitly mention what happens to it, which causes people to wonder) isn't going to work as some Crystal-ploy to force more home attendance at the Disch.

    Yes, IHR has many stations in the Austin area, but they all have their own music audiences that will revolt if their 96.7 grooves/etc. get interrupted for Texas Baseball, so where do Texas Baseball radio games go? I wonder if the answer to that is Nowhere.  /rant

    They will likely simulcast baseball on 102.3.

    that's pretty much every golf cart in port a though right? 

    i don't know how much longer i can keep saying how much i love this state but have to explain away its trumpiness. it used to be the people and the attitude that supposedly made this state so unique. 

    maybe i was wrong about that all along fuck i dunno

    Believe it or not, I don't see a whole lot of that when I'm in Port A.  Maybe I'm just lucky.

    i don't really know, but i think it's waterloo for 102.7. 

    Doubtful that revenue UT sports will be on 102.7.  Should be 98.1/1300, and I would expect another FM frequency for non-rev UT sports, similar to 105.3.

    All the bad shit. So why do we continue to allows embeds from that hellsite?

    Because the journey to become the equivalent to Parler and TruthSocial is likely a longer one.  How long did the majority of citizens hold on to their land lines and cable TV?  Abandonment cornerstone tech platforms doesn't happen overnight.  In some cases, like AOL or MySpace, it happens fairly quickly, certainly not instantly.

    You are investing in a bad argument.  Sell, Mortimer, sell.

    The place was a better discussion forum before tweet embedding was introduced. 

     

    If you want to take another angle to it though, according to the observations of many here and elsewhere, twitter has been turned into a hot bed of misinformation, racism, white nationalism, fascism, authoritarianism, etc. All the bad shit. So why do we continue to allows embeds from that hellsite?

    You think Twitter is something that can be partitioned, via embeds, into “good” and “bad” shit?  That’s not how it works.

    You just turn off the tweet embed function. It's maybe at least a few clicks I would guess. If you assessed the disinformation and misinformation content of posts across this board, I'd wager a lot of money that there is a significant correlation between disinfo content and posts with embedded tweets. 

    Pretty sure that has to be done at site level and not at the board level.

    So, you want people posting and clicking links instead of embedding?  What about for sports, recruiting embeds?  Might as well shut the whole fucking thing down.

    Or you could just not read this shit if it bothers you that much.

    Yeah, this does nothing to disprove my “flash in the pan” theory. The # of new sign-ups will go into freefall in a week or two simply due to mathematics. Once the novelty wears off it’s not going to attract new people. More importantly, it isnt attracting any young people. Let me know when a recruit posts his commitment on threads. Twitter is an ingrained cultural stable that isn’t going anywhere. 

    Players and recruits are already flocking to Threads precisely because it's the "new, hot thing".  All of the recruiting services are already there this morning because......that's where the recruits are going.

    You stupid fuck.

    I was fucking appalled at the omelette Sydney made. No cheese? No ham, mushrooms, bacon, anything? 

    Dude.  Boursin is cheese.

    Edit: Party_Taco addressed it.  Also, omelettes without anything are chock full of protein.  I like omelettes with "stuff", but cheese omelettes are also fantastic.
