  1. Shouldn't the promo code be "hisouthaustin'smom"?
  2. Yeah, I'm in commercial real estate and negotiate commercial leases pretty much daily. And enforce them as well when necessary. In fact, dealing with a similar situation where we anticipate a breach by a very large retail tenant. They have vacated and while they continue to pay rent, they were recently acquired by a large VC firm who is notorious for defaulting and litigating. They have offered a pitiful termination offer (roughly $030 on the dollar). Their rent is way above market. We've told them to get fucked. Well I have specifically. They have threatened to declare bankruptcy which would allow them to reject the lease outright, but their financial profile doesn't really allow for that. So we are prepared to go to battle on this. And we should prevail. In this case, UCLA has absolutely no real grounds to terminate. While we would have an obligation to mitigate by finding a replacement tenant, thereby reducing the tenant's obligation, the Rose Bowl really doesn't have that option. There are no potential replacement tenants. I see no way UCLA prevails. And there very likely is an attorneys' fees clause which would require the prevailing party to be reimbursed for it out of pocket costs to enforce.
  3. Oh hell yeah! That's a great feeling. I definitely teared up when I did that.
  4. It's incredible. They just live in an alternate reality.
  5. This series has popped up in my feed regularly. Amazing how people rationalize his lies, or just choose to ignore the blatant fallacies https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPuT7CukoxG/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
  6. Is there like a FB Marketplace or something I'm not aware of?
  7. Who is this rancid piece of shit (whorley that is, of course)?
  8. My son just got his second co-op (kind of like a paid internship) at a company the specializes in "circular RNA" therapeutics (I can't begin to explain it, but it's rooted in mRNA delivery technology). It is some groundbreaking stuff, but you wonder if it will come under scrutiny by HHS for being in the same universe as "the jab", despite it being scientifically sound.
  9. It's all pretty immaterial. No way the Rose Bowl take less than $0.95 on the dollar for the remaining lease obligation. UCLA can't prevail in litigation. They're stuck at the Rose Bowl, like it or not (I like it).
  10. The whole country is enshittifying, so yes, might as well keep up the trend. Exactly. And those 13 miles on the 405 are like the Bataan Death March.
  11. I don't know what the gameday environment is at Carter Stadium for TCU games, but imagine moving their home games to Jerryworld? I've been there, and the gameday experience sucks. I mean, the outcome was great though...
  12. It would be a huge mistake. I've been to SoFi several times, and while it's fine for NFL games, it has absolutely no soul, and would create a terrible college atmosphere. I went to a couple of LA Bowl games, and while that isn't a great benchmark for what a regular season game would look like, I would bet fewer people would show to SoFi than the Rose Bowl. And while it's closer to campus, that 405 commute is absolute death. And if people think traffic leaving the Rose Bowl is bad, Downtown Inglewood is a million times worse. A bad idea all around. But we're full of bad ideas.
  13. Pulling for you. Best of luck.
  14. Could go in the NFL Goons thread…
  15. We need everyone to go Olgilvy and lean into it and take the HBP.
  16. Did I look like one at Fenway? If Yoshi can somehow get the win Friday, absolutely EVERYONE is available Saturday.
  17. Yes, I had a delicious one last night. Something about a grilled dog at the ballgame that is pure perfection.
  18. Should be tied. That was ball 4 to Muncy. Wrapped to get through the stall.
  19. I don’t care for this.
  20. And who would order that abomination anyway? Just give me a Dodger Dog and I'm fine.
  21. Diego's mom looks decidedly rude.
