  1. My largest customer has the Rivian truck, we were just talking about it yesterday and he loves it. Not just the electric part of it. He thinks it is well thought out and done well. This is a guy that has a wide variety of vehicles (from a 991 gt3 to big MB suv) to choose from each morning that are all pretty cool. I always see him in the rivian.
  2. ConfidentAg is going to lose his AgTag for accurate and rational posting.
  3. As bernorange says, both have a full 1oz of gold, the eagles have an additional 3% silver and 5% copper. So the eagles are actually heavier than buffalos. You have to be a little more careful with the buffalos, they ding pretty easily and should keep them in individual containers, where the eagles you can stack in tubes. Both are super liquid, up till about a year ago, buffalos actually had a bit of a premium over the eagles when buying, but that seems to have evened out. If you live in the US, which i'm sure most of us do, there is no issues with either when time to sell. If you live somewhere else, lots of countries have taxes on 22k gold vs 24k - so eagles may not be the best choice if you are going to sell in England for example. There are tax advantages in the US for the eagles and buffalos. Mainly, if you sell over 25oz of coins, there is no requirement for the coin shop to fill out a 1099 on the transaction. However, if you had 25 1oz Canadian maple leafs for example, the IRS would know and you would have capital gains tax stuff to deal with. EDIT: i guess i should add, if you sell the 25 eagles/buffalos you still have a capital gains tax event, you are just left on your own to fill out all the paperwork on the honor system.
  4. It's almost as if Sark put Arch behind the freshman Oline, and didn't give him cook vs a walk-on on purpose. Hmmm.
  5. The only time i worry too much about the price is if i am buying more than my monthly plan. Say on a 15% dip Of course most of my gold was lost in an unfortunate boating accident, so i barely have any now. Edit: Not to say i dont care about price, i just mean that if i am just buying one 1oz Gold Eagle, searching all over Houston to save 20 bucks is not a major factor.
  6. Aren't you guys tired of shitty games in Austin? And yes SECx3 will help, but i'm tired of looking at the scheduled and thinking, "there isnt a game i care about". Outside of general Texas football interest. With a 12 team playoff, this is no reason NOT to play marquee games. You can lose a close game to USC/ohio st at the beginning of the year and still make the playoffs. And if you lose that game and then 3 more conference games, then you aren't good enough to win it all anyway, so at least you got a great game in September.
  7. A random Tuesday afternoon brewery tour followed by a bit of gold buying is a fun day.
  8. I didn't know we had a gold thread, i have been stacking an oz or 2 a month for a bit. Amergold.com in austin has legit better pricing than SDbullion (usually about 50 bucks per AGE). Plus you can pay in cash. Just keep it under 10k at a time. Texmetals.com in shiner is good as well, but they only let you buy 10k in cash a year. their pricing is a bit higher than amergold, but usually a bit cheaper than SD. Plus SD has been taking weeks to get orders out.
  9. Jesus fuck people, there is a whole thread on that chick in IPIHB.
  10. Aggy had the opportunity to change their name to Texas State University for years and years and do like Florida State, LSU, okie state, ohio state etc etc. But of course, they wanted to remain true to the tradition, and didn't make the change. Now they are stuck, and try to change their branding all the while screaming about how great the name is. My guess is they didn't want to be confused with Texas southern for you know, reasons.
  11. If Bisontits is starting at a tackle spot, they are more fucked than i thought.
  12. The biggest thing to me in that rugby ball clip, outside of the silliness of it, is just how lethargic and slow they were running the drill. No energy, no attempt to do it at even 70% game speed.
  13. Awful music opinion thread is 3 steps ——-> that way.
  14. Trying to figure out which one hit too close to home. Aggy suburb of cypress or Your taste in décor.
  15. We should just claim the 4. But if anyone brings it up be able to drop "well if we did it like you aggy, we would have 9, but we don't do it that way because that's pathetic" You get to have the number 9 out there and also be arrogant. #onbrand.
  16. The Venn diagram with cypress texas, aggy and "people who have little stupid sayings as art" must just look like one circle.
  17. Watching the press conference, that’s a dude that is pissed that anyone is questioning him or his offense, and that includes his bosses/BMA. This is going to be awesome.
  18. Quantity over quality is their raison de vivre. And of course they will never understand this but: Fuck Kansas glad they lost; fuck Baylor glad they lost; fuck TCU glad they lost. And west Virginia and Iowa state, i dont really think about you at all. Good job Kansas St i guess, but fuck you too.
  19. Uh oh, tarp is becoming self-aware. Luckily no one will listen to him.
  20. They were and still are upset because it is another reminder of who they are. A middling to good team that will always be passed over for someone like ND. That's why they desperately wanted to ride SEC coattails. Thus their "the conference didn't do anything for us in 2020" narrative.
  21. Mills deserves a chance with a real coaching staff to at least see if he is a viable back up. He has shown some promise, and its hard to know how good or bad he might be considering the coaches he has had for the last two years. I like all the moves so far, it seems like we might actually have adults running the place now.
  22. The idea that Slive wouldn't have welcomed UT into the conference might be my favorite little article of faith they believe and hold onto so tightly. Blocking Texas as commissioner would be grounds for dismissal. It's not 1955 anymore aggy. I know that upsets you in any number of ways (conference congeniality, water fountains, school demographics etc etc).
  23. What is the alternative coach? If it is just "fire Terry and find a new guy", then he probably has the job more or less baring a collapse this weekend. Tell me who CDC has on his phone and i can make a better call.
