  1. I would punt
  2. I don't think that tax revenue would be much. Even if 1000 athletes in the state were paid 100k/year (wildly high number), the state tax of about 7-8% would amount to 7-8 million, which is a pittance. I think the bigger issues are the loss of the concept of all players in the team being equal (a few are relatively rich now), transfer portal becoming a year-long player trading place (players looking at what bids are coming in for them to make a jump), big donors of smaller schools essentially treating the school team as their own private team (buying the roster, getting couple of stars for ticket sales), etc. As is typical with professional sports, a few will make lot of money, and the many will just be shuttling between teams for little payments. The question is whether your second-third stringers who provide needed depth will value the UT/UM/UW degree or do they value 10k/year over 4 years from ATM/MSU/WSU.
  3. It is quite funny to me that he has a username that means death and destruction.
  4. Mahomes is in a zone.
  5. Mahomes is so good, from moving in the pocket and scanning the field to quick and accurate throws across the whole range.
  6. Wake just settled for FG there. They were driving well.
  7. he may be fast but he is not shifty like Murray. He needs a few steps to gain speed.
  8. he had the deep crossing route
  9. Replace farmer Brown with OU.
  10. that was not a defensive TD?
  11. I would have at least have the QB throw downfield. That would have taken 5 seconds off.
  12. Mack wants to punt one more time?
  13. they should have rolled out the QB for a pass/rush option
  14. The difference in the game is the two QBs. That int was expected.
  15. two drives starting inside their 5 yard line
  16. That QB is throwing nice rainbows.
  17. SECSECSEC anti-bodies kicking in?
  18. Another nice catch through traffic
  19. that's a top 10 of the year type of catch
  20. that looks incomplete
  21. I think this is the unfortunate side effect of narrowly defining our roles, which very conveniently absolves us from taking a moral stance, even on actions that directly have a high degree of good/evil outcome. An ICE agent, a torturer, an occupying soldier all get to suspend personal moral responsibility under the guise of "carrying out their duty". Take the CEOs and other business leaders you mention; they will take a position only when the public opinion is already decided and the benefit is overwhelming. A good example is corporations standing for LGBTQ rights, so much so that it has become a marketing ploy. Otherwise, they are going to play very safely and would rather bear the known cost of worst case scenario than face the unknown cost of being a thought leader. Another example is what is happening in India. The ruling BJP government has openly declared war on Muslims and other lower castes (but mostly Muslims), with daily lynchings by mobs where the police and judiciary openly support the murderers, not to mention the political leaders themselves. NPR likens the situation to the post-Civil War situation in US where blacks were killed, which the majority tacitly approved. https://www.npr.org/2019/08/21/751541321/this-is-it-im-going-to-die-indias-minorities-are-targeted-in-lynchings India has lots of business leaders, educated intellectuals, very famous entertainers and sportspersons, etc. but everyone is either silent or supportive of the extremely toxic Hindutva regime, because they don't want to take the burden of standing for what is right.
  22. He needs VY's length to do that
  23. yard short!
  24. Can the announcers be any more captain obvious saying one more 1st down ices the game?
