Craziest value in that chart is 2.36M for TCU/KSU at 4:00pm ET on Fox. Totally doesn't match the rest of TCU's numbers. They're basically a ratings killer for every game except that one. Did they have a huge game before them and after them that day or something?
This is 2020, right? I would guess those numbers are fucked up for that game. Texas/OU was that day and went into quadruple overtime on FOX. I don't remember, but I'm guessing we bled into their timeslot, and whatever data is being used on the chart isn't sophisticated enough to know their game wasn't the one being shown when data was being collected.

And on top of the above, based on viewers numbers that were posted everywhere yesterday, Texas and OU were basically half the TV eyeballs of the whole conference. If the remaining 8 add two more schools who are roughly equal to their average TV value (easily possible) to keep the inventory the same in terms of number of games then they could try to negotiate only a 37.5% loss in TV contract value.
That's not good but would only be a $7.5M per year loss. And TV contacts aren't the entire AD budget. That might mean only a 10% total revenue loss. Not fun but not a program and conference killer.
They can wait it out or at least negotiate as if they're willing to wait it out. On the other hand that would require strong conference leadership so good luck to them.
I'd imagine too that they could throw their 3rd tier rights in (I think they're all currently individually sold out to either fox or ESPN). Theoretically it's a zero sum game, but that might help the perception of the casual observer.

I like how he made an admission telling us what we already knew from the first post he made.
I like how it took him "all day" to get there.

He's saying even aggy isn't stupid enough to be the lone desenter. They'll either ultimately vote with everyone else, or abstain in the most petulant manner possible.Maybe it was already explained, but if that's the case, why wouldn't aggy just vote "no" to kill it? Obviously not an option, otherwise even aggy would know they could kill it with one "no" vote and wouldn't be tripping over their own dicks like they are. Maybe I just haven't had enough coffee yet, but...Does. Not. Compute.

That fourth bullet point - in the context of ctj's NLI podcast contributions - makes me think that there's been talk within the conference of limiting or scaling NIL to be "fairer," to the other schools, and that UT and OU felt like there was at least a possibility the conference might keep them from doing what they wanted at the level they wanted in the interest of "fairness."
That would explain Texas' flat footed rollout. I'm not the biggest CDC fan, but if there's anything the man can do it's organize money in the direction it's needed, even if he's not directly benefited by it.

It's fractions of what it was 20 years ago, but it's still $350 million (and decresing) annually, plus the AUF, plus the PUF. It shouldn't be dismissed as a non-factor because it's smaller than it once was.This. Highly underrated is the funding cuts from the state ledge. Believe it or not, my wife brought this up. "They keep cutting their funding anyway so why should the schools be driven by what they say?"
Never thought about that but most excellent point.

The general idea is that baylor, tech, and tcu get all their grad-reps together and threaten to fuck with UT's funding if they leave their schools high and dry.Can someone give cliffs notes about this lege bullshittery that could be pulled? I’m confused how they’d have a say
For the record, I think it happens unless they feel really good about their landing spots, it's whether UT calls the bluff or not that's the bigger question.

Just wanted to cosign in case you're looking for a second opinion. I've had two on top of a rav 4 with no issues up and down 35 and 71 more times than I could count with no issues.Don’t use ratchets, they can misform/break the plastic on the boats. The cam buckle straps are more than enough. Just buy some quality ones. Make sure to run some safety lines to the front and rear if you are worried about it. Honestly, I’ve had mine without them on the top out on 130 coming back from running the San Marcos a hundred times going 85 with no issues. I’ve paddled all over the state, and as long as you have them secure, and check them when you stop you will be great.
And now that I recall, you have a cruiser, so you should be fine with two boats straight on the bars unless you have just really wide boats.

Yeah, absolutely. They're all delicious other than hard heads (they look like catfish - throw them back). Just know what you're catching and what the size limit is.He’s 12 and has done a few lakes around here, mostly Lake Austin.
I was dreading buying a huge pole and some pvc but it sounds like we could leave his brother at base camp and drive around looking for birds.
I’m assuming most of the fish you listed would be good grilled up with some butter, lemon, salt and pepper?
Yeah, just wade in until he can cast at the birds, then real it back in slow, or use a popping cork with bait: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/betts-billy-boy-popping-floats?ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=Shop%7CCAB%7CTopPerformers%7CFishing&gclid=Cj0KCQjws-OEBhCkARIsAPhOkIbFP0XC-bBXhlTg-lBU3JCMyLnRZXudz9514-6rGsyu8cC2TsCgoY8aAgEsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Was probably in the back of the truck taking a siesta.
What do people fish for on the beach?
How big a rod/weight line do you need?
How far do you need to cast?
Oldest son is big into fishing but hates the beach so he's torn on weather or not he's going to come down next time.
It's easy to surf fish without much more than what he'd have for bass. 10 lb test with a spoon on a medium spinning reel will take you pretty far. Not sure how old your son is, but the trick with surf fishing - in my experience - is to drive around until you see birds, then wade in. You can catch all kinds of shit without necessarily targeting any one species. Reds, trout, smacks, whitefish. Hardheads if you're unlucky, but I'll fight 6 pound hardheads all day long. Better than not fishing.
Shore fishing would typically require a big ass rod and staying put (may be better for camping). You have to chunk it a ways, or even run the line out in a kayak to get it really far out.
Not sure how old your son is though. It's a completely different answer depending on if he's 6 or 16.

The ascend h12 is sharp. I'd be wary of the 10 due to weight limit and tracking issues though. You'll appreciate having more length and carrying capacity.I think I've caught the kayak bug. A year late, but the way the market seems to be!
I've got some canoe experience, but am thinking of buying a kayak that I can do some day and overnight trips with. So not so heavy I can't manhandle things, but big enough to carry my backpacking gear and sundries. I have a square stern discovery if I want to take the kiddos out. This would be for me. I've been on some sit on top kayaks. Just smaller ones, paddling around the lake. I don't mind getting wet. I've done a fair bit of wilderness canoeing. A couple of trips to the Yukon, Big Salmon. Took my wife down the Upper Missourri before the kiddos. Recently did the west branch penobscot in maine. So I like canoes, although I've also had some strenuous days fighting the wind, so a kayak is sort of appealing. At this point tentatively leaning toward the hybrids. Maybe a discovery 119, but also looking at ultimate 12, and ascend h10/h12. Whatever pops up on Craigslist or FB msrketplace. Anyone have any thoughts? Ideal craft would be good for the kind of shallows and pool & drop we have in Texas. Enough capacity for a 225 lb dude and 60 pounds of gear. I'm thinking that means a capacity of 350, but ideally more like 400, using the 80% rule of thumb. Likely use would be Colorado from FM 190 to the lake; Upper Guad; Nueces/Frio/Medina; maybe something farther afield like the Buffalo or Current.
I think what you're looking for and the boats you're looking at make sense. I also think - depending on the trip - you can get under 60 pounds of gear pretty easily. Also, obviously the more you load, the more the boat will track differently, but there's few places better than Central texas rivers to deal with that. Typically it's only the wind that causes any issues.
I've never kayaked 190 to Buchanan. I'd love to make that trip sometime. Colorado Bend SP and the narrows are all I've seen north of the lakes.

As long as we're voting, my thought is to get an update from immamac on when expects it to go both ways. If it's soon, just leave it as is. The surly to discord quoting sucks, but I'm the opposite of chickenSandwich discord >>> this board, because 1) no F5, and 2) far superior search functionality.

On the banner at the top of the Surly page, select Store -> Subscriptions and pay your tree fiddy. Then click on the "Join My Server" button on the Discord gif. You should probably join Discord using the same email address as you use for Surly before clicking on the join button. profit!
See above.What's the Discord discussion?

I'm still open to an option that works for everybody without requiring people to sign up for Treefiddy.
Also I'm a net negative on decisions since going to the discord. Not that it has anything to do with the conversation there, but it might have protected you from my picks lol
I love me some discord. I always have it up regardless, so it's great for me. did Immamac ever say what the timeline was for dual directionality or whatever the term is?

Yeah, just got up to 5 again, and I'm out. I figure if nothing else I can get back in next week if it tanks.
