    sigh
    tried to use the new TxTag website

    have to update my account login

    it says no account is associated with my email address

    alternative login via account # and pin....got no clue what my TxTag account # is

    If you can go back to an old statement email and follow the link it’ll land you on a page that will let you create “new” credentials…was the only way I figured out my new account number.

    You have Oklahoma to take shots at instead of Kansas, you bastards!

     

  2. Yeah, we can keep up to 2, they cost you $5 more than previous year's cost, but guys that you pick up as free agents are $15.  My team was mediocre last year and unlikely to make a run, so on the last bye week (when roster spots get less valuable), I burned a good chunk of my FAAB on Barkley.  I have him under reasonable cost control until he's 30 now.  I just threw Zeke back this year, he went WAY too cheap his suspension year, and I just kept riding him up $5 at a time...he finally got too expensive.

     

  3. Bengals UNDER 6.5 -110: I actually don't think they're going to be THAT bad but the schedule is brutal...hard division + AFC West.

    Dolphins UNDER 9.5 -116: I make Miami slightly better with Fitz, which sounds crazy b/c they were 7-3 under Tua....so I had to dig into why.  Post QB switch, if you throw out the week 17 game (I know, I know but stay with me they were desperate fighting for the playoffs and abandoned the game plan), they were +9 in the other 9 Tua starts which would have been good for THIRD for the whole season.  That TO luck is unsustainable.  If you prefer more sophistication than a random dude on the internet, PFF graded him 31st.

    I'm looking at two more unders, one of which would be oppo @closetohumping (Bills) and I like Titans if I can get 9.5 at a good price, but it's currently not juicy enough.

    Alright, so football is back and I'm getting the itch. Was there a consensus for a good alternative similar to 5dimes? BetOnline? MyBookie? 

    I liked all their alternative lines they would give out/buy up to that sites like Bovada wouldn't do. Also was a fan of their pleasers and teasers for entertainment plays. 

    BetOnline is a pretty good option.

    yeah, so uh, to all of the people who got all upset and offended at the trade offers i sent you, go ahead and look at today's trade that was just accepted and see why i send those types of offers. Bo Bichette for two crappy closers. LOL. 

    You think that exchange was OTHER people getting upset?

  6. Annual Disclaimer: Nobody beats the NFL.  I don't beat it, and you don't beat it.  We know this.  We are all going to lose money in this thread.  With that said, the NFL is pretty awesome and pretty fun to gamble on, so let's lose our 10 cents of vig together.

    Steelers OVER 8.5 +130

    Good Lord some of you need a geography lesson. Dallas is 30 miles from Fort Worth. Austin is 80 miles from San Antonio. And the amount of people that live between each city is not that comparable. Arlington, Irving, Grand Prairie, Grapevine, Euless etc. are all much more developed than Buda/Kyle/SanMo/NB.

    Plus, you know, it's the Cowboys. The biggest sports brand in the world. 

    This is a pretty big deal if you're talking about an MLB team drawing from some location in San Marcos on a Tuesday night...it's a pretty insignificant difference for 8 home games.

    Splitting the cities isn't a good idea either way, but with an NFL team it's at least logistically feasible.

    Sounds like something a sooner would say.

    Oh, I don't like it.

    Random UT Friend: "Yeah, when I was on the 40 acres you only had to be top 10% in your class to get in...it's a little harder now.  What was it like at Kansas?"

    Me: "On, you know, top ***COUGH***100%***COUGH*** of your class."

    Still not seeing second infections at a significant rate which is odd since supposedly the vaccine gives better immunity.  Just anecdotal experience but our outpatient trends tend to preceded and reflect the official numbers.

    So far it seems like the vaccine gives a stronger biological response, but it doesn't (yet) seem like that translates into much difference in reinfection vs vaccine breakthrough.  Best guess is that higher measureables isn't predictive, but I don't know why.  It smells a little bit like how we thought of surface transmission in the early days before we knew how strongly viral load tied to infection.

    200. At the bottom of your pitchers there should be a little note that says "view game maximums" and it will show you your current starts and projected pace. I do it on mobile, so not quite sure if it's the same on the app

    I've never been able to find it on the iPhone app, but I set my lineup in a web browser (usually) and it is there.

    This is Texas State level of admission requirements.

    It has since changed (a little), but when I went to KU the general study in-state entrance requirements were that you'd graduated high school.

    That's it.  That's the whole list.
