    Alreqdy have JellyFiah installed. However, the RGB setting of 91, 87, 0 is producing more of a yellowish light than burnt orange. Anyone tweaked the settings to get a good Longhorn Burnt Orange?

    What I have come up with as the most "Texas" orange is actually RGB  191, 87, 0.    It's not perfect but the wife and kids all agree it is the closest we could get.

    My daughter is going to go with a cousin.  I'm going to walk them to the gate, go sit in a bar, and stagger back to pick them up, then they will carry me back to the Hotel.

    Anyhow, I don't where the Friday tickets on Stubhub and SeatGeek are coming from because it doesn't appear that you can upload these to the sites.  These tickets have the moving bar code.

    I sold tickets to the Eras Tour show at Jerryworld last year.  YMMV, but I never uploaded tickets to Stubhub.  I listed the tickets and input the section row and seat numbers in that process.  When they sold, Stubhub gave me the email address for the buyer and said I needed to go to the original ticket sellers portal (Seatgeek was the exclusive ticket seller for Jerryworld events, whereas Ticketmaster infamously handled most tickets to the Eras tour) and transfer the tickets to the purchaser.  I made the transfer in the Seatgeek app and got a notice at somepoint that my ticket transfer had been accepted / received by the buyer.  A week or so after the show Stubhub paid me.

    Good luck!!

  3. I understand that Ticketmaster is not allowing resale, but is there a reason you can't just sell them on Stubhub instead?

    Once the sale is made, you can transfer in your ticketmaster app based on the buyer's info provided to you by Stubhub.

     

    Also, PSA my daughter had her ticketmaster account hacked and 4 tickets stolen the week of a show recently (she received an email from Ticketmaster informing her that her transfer had been accepted).  Long story short, she got her original tickets reinstated the morning of the show, but it was a stressful week working through the process with TM's "stellar" customer service department.  Moral of the story, change your TM password.

    First of all, no US military troops need be be engaged on the ground in Iran.  All Israel needs to do is decapitate the leadership and destroy the nuke plants and military targets.  Their military is likely as feckless is the Iraqi military during Desert Storm.  Those people want to be in the first world (as opposed to the crazy Arabs).  The will rise up with US and Israeli intel support.

    NFL roster limited would prevent any team from drafting a high school player. An NFL team simply can't afford to throw away valuable roster and even practice squad spots on developmental prospects that will take years to ever contribute. And given free agency, by the time a team finishes developing any such player, their contract would be up and all that money would have been spent training someone else's player. 

    Umm...

    Is there another sport that has as big a jump from high school to pros as the NFL?  Maybe golf?  Track and field?

    In a weird way, gymnastics and tennis.  It's strange because sometimes a 16 or 18 year old might be amongst the best in the world and become pros as teenagers while the "really good" ones go to college and almost never become "pro".

    Who is the GM at Texas? Is there one per sport, or one for men and one for women?

     

    Also, for someone who is not already on the team, either a high schooler or someone in the portal, what is the process supposed to look like?  I know NIL is not legal for or supposed to be used as an inducement to go to a school, it is merely a benefit of having made the decision to enroll as a student athlete and actually being on the team. 

    I'm assuming the "proposed / acceptable" steps and order of steps are:

    1. Decide to matriculate at State U. (signs scholarship deal with school)

    2. Collective or individual brands reach out at some point to say congratulations and we would like to tell you about the NIL opportunities that are available to them as a student athlete at this institution of higher learning.

    3. Discussions / Negotiations take place between student athlete and the Collective or Brand

    4. Contract with collective or brand is signed

    5. Student athlete attends classes, plays sport and makes appearances

    6. Collective or Brand provides the promised benefit.

     

    I suspect that the real order is something like:

    1. Recruitment is open (High school or portal entry)

    2. Collective or individual brands reach out based on someone's (coach / school, etc.?) suggestion to tell them about the NIL opportunities that are available to them if they come to State U.

    3. Discussions / Negotiations take place between student athlete and the Collective or Brand.

    4. Agreement is reached (verball, handshake, wink and nod, etc.)

    5. Student signs scholarship agreement with school.

    6. Contract with collective or brand is signed

    7. Student athlete attends classes, plays sport and makes appearances

    8. Collective or Brand provides the promised benefit.

    As many have said, the legalities vs the practicalities of the situation lead to misunderstandings and the ridiculousness we are seeing play out in front of us.  What is the student athletes recourse if they sign a scholarship agreement / enroll and then the agreed-upon deal with the collective or brand does not materialize?

    If another spot is better for this discussion feel free to move it.

    No. Because outside of doing a direct subsidy a la Kuwait (which wouldnt pass), politicians dont have the direct ability to effect a change of that magnitude for that duration.

    LHN was fucking great.  Every baseball game  and most home games for many other sports.  Hard to beat that.  One game , sometimes 2 for Football on tier 3 was fine.  I guess SEC+ is PPV, LHN not perfect but better than PPV IMO.

     

    I'm not sure that is correct.  I think if you have a TV package that has SEC network, then you can access SECN+ for free through the ESPN website, Smart TV ESPN app or Phone app.  I could be wrong though.

  10. My concern with Michigan's O vs. our D is if they are able to pick us apart in the shallow middle (5-15 yards downfield ) similar to what I recall from OU and UH last year.  Maybe I am not remembering correctly but it seemed like in both of those games we gave up play after play over the "shallow" middle and then couldn't tackle.  I'm hopeful their QB play doesn't allow for them to do it consistently.
