  1. The notion that the price of a barrel of oil has any affect on a coaches buyout is completely absurd to me. Sure, the average oil field worker will go buy a new jacked up F250 when the oil is flowing, but the guy that runs the company that has built his business over time doesn’t blow tens of millions on a losing football coach just because oil prices spikes for a bit.
  2. And just like that, Jimbo’s buyout was found….. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/state/2023/11/09/new-texas-emergency-operations-facility-set-to-be-built-in-austin/71515760007/
  3. Why don't y'all take that topic to its own thread or PM's?
  4. That is exactly my point. If candidates are going to get re-elected simply because they are "harmless" or "benign", then the cycle of shitty candidates and incumbents will never end. Austin continues to do this over and over and over and over and can't figure out why nothing ever changes.
  5. What exactly did he do in his first term that you considered positive? Sure, the second term was 100% grift, but nothing came from the first term that warranted re-election.
  6. I don't think a win vs. ACU counts toward bowl eligibility, does it? If they lose to MSU and it comes down to the LSU game for eligibility, would Jimbo throw the game so he could take a longer winter vacation? It's not like it would be difficult to disguise throwing the game with his previous evidence of playcalling/in-game decisions.
  7. The great news is that they haven't figured out that as long as John Sharp is pulling the strings, the outcome will be similar/the same.
  8. I just saw the other day that the entire football expenses for 2022 was like $41M. If they have to dedicate $8M per year, for the next seven years, to pay a coach to NOT coach, that is a huge hit to their annual budget. It can be done, but the effects would be devastating. And there is no way they are going to get donors to 100% fund the full $100M needed to fire the current regime and bring in a new regime.
  9. I think the SEC is done kowtowing to the aggies. And there's that whole issue of actual bowl eligibility that still hasn't worked itself out yet.
  10. Maybe if the city stopped re-electing the exact same people over and over things would change?
  11. Because he’s legit injured or because Jimbo shoved him in the back in national tv?
  12. Billy will do whatever Sharp tells him to do.
  13. You can’t hide that road record. A single game doesn’t change that.
  14. He’s so fucked that he’s gonna get $80M to retire
  15. Would he have a good bond with the Collie that is also a General?
  16. Anyone betting a&m in this game has obviously not consulted the calendar. Today is the last day of October and we all know what happens on the roller coaster after today.
  17. There is a TABC law that states that the owner of the establishment can never be intoxicated in premises. That seems like the low hanging fruit.
  18. When Weigman leaves, that opens the door for the next tens years of us hearing “we woulda won it all in ‘24 if Wiggy hadn’t left”
  19. I’m flying home from Vancouver tomorrow (there is internet here) and it appears that it will be colder when I step off the plane in Austin than when I get on the plane in Vancouver. Wasn’t expecting that when I left Austin.
  20. As it turns out, this team is tied for the lead in this conference and likely holds its own destiny to the playoffs. But you’re still bitter. That’s on you and not this team.
