  1. This. Civillians have had 3 weeks to get out of the war zone. It seems like the terrorists are now in the FAFO phase. Good riddance to all those that shot women and children point blank. Hope they get them all.
  2. LOL. Look, I'm a BBQ snob in Dallas b/c we have a pretty garbage BBQ scene outside of a handful of places. But if I could pack a cooler of Shiner and drive 30 mins to eat average BBQ and drink in the Hill country I would do it at least 2X/year. Y'all are spoiled.
  3. I didn't even know there was a round rock location but good point.
  4. This. I have literally never taken an out of towner to Salt Lick and not gotten rave reviews. It's the entire experience including getting out of the city. Not everyone fucking lives in Austin/Hill Country.
  5. I don't care what anyone says, a perfect fall Saturday is long drinking lunch at Matt's + afternoon Tailgate + DKR a night. Haven't been able to do it once this year but that is the plan for Tech.
  6. Love it. More of that.
  7. Well it's your lucky week you are playing our defense who, without looking at a single stat to back up my assumption, seems to do decent at stopping 3rd and short. But we love to give up 3rd and long (at least we did last week). As for food recs, Matt's El Rancho is still my favorite in Austin when I come in for a game although I'm sure locals may have different opinions. BBQ - I'll let others chime in that know the current state of play better than I do but hard to go wrong in Austin.
  8. Not sure. Maybe I'm just used to paying pro sports prices. Because lower 20YL seats going for like $80 with seatgeak fees is insane to me. I've been traveling all week for work or I would be there. Was planning to sell my 4 and potentially use that to justify splurging for WS game 2 tomorrow (knowing I'll be paying out the ass for game 6 if it comes to that (fucking wife's brothers wedding for game 7). But as it stands now, may end up seeing if I have the energy to drive in with my son tomorrow and enjoying the extra space
  9. This. I'm absolutely disgusted with what is going on right now in this country. Especially after sitting with a jewish client and listening to his personal experiences in New York. I'll stop it there because otherwise will probably get too Cloak Roomy but it's really disappointing that there isn't more backlash. How the fuck did tacitly supporting fucking terrorists become "PC"?
  10. I don't think I ever came back and posted on this thread but I was (as a lawyer, albeit a finance attorney) selected as a juror on a family felony violence trial this summer. It was a pretty fascinating experience. Nobody wanted to be there obviously, but once seated, everyone took it seriously. The guilt/innocence phase was easy and we found him guilty in about 5 minutes. But sentencing phase was tough. We deliberated about 3.5 hours the first afternoon and again another 2 hours the next morning. Extremely diverse jury group with all different experiences that led to strong opinions but everyone was very respectful and listened to each others viewpoint. Actually a pretty refreshing experience in this era of polarization how people from all walks of life can be reasonable and change initial opinions if they just sit and respectfully discuss something. And more importantly it was pretty clear everyone took it home with them after we were deadlocked the first night, thought through counter arguments, and we found a compromise where I don't think anyone thought there would be one the day before. I was one of those that were swayed by strong arguments from others that the more I thought about it I agreed with. It sucked from a work standpoint and I was busy at night catching up on what I would have otherwise been doing during the day, but would honestly recommend it to anyone. It was also great talking to the prosecutors and defense attorneys after.
  11. I mean I hear you. But it wasn't long ago we were celebrating being fucking bowl eligible. Having relevant games in late October hasn't exactly been common over the last 13 years. The entitlement and fair weather nature of our fan base is and always has been ridiculous. Just surprised there isn't more support as large as Austin has become with no other sports in town.
  12. I'm pretty shocked how little buzz there is for this game and what a weak ticket market is for a top 10 Texas team (and I say that as someone with great seats listed on this board below face and not a single inquiry). Pretty amazing. Are we that fair weather that a hurt QB and a closer than expected game against Houston makes people lose interest? Our fans have always sucked but jeez. You would think we are stuck in the middle of a 5 win Charlie Strong season.
  13. Ever visited Texags.com?
  14. They are bombing terrorist military targets in response to a targeted killing of Israeli civilians. Hamas uses civilians as human shields because they are subhuman fucks. But you go ahead and keep sympathizing with them.
  15. Even if that were the case, at least they aren't actively targeting and shooting women and children for sport like the terrorists they are fighting. You guys can "both sides" this all you want but I have absolutely zero fucking problem with their response to date given what occurred.
  16. Give me a break. You probably believe the hospital hoax as well. If they didn't care about civilians, Israel would turn the entire strip into rubble. But when terrorists strategically place rocket launchers next to preschools, collateral damage happens.
  17. Huh? You mean like the one that just led to the death of a high ranking Hamas POS? Looks to me like they are targeting terrorists.
  18. It's all going to be pretty interesting to see how the market shakes out over the next couple of cycles. I have a friend on the staff of another top 10 NIL program. He told me they basically shot their load last year due to a unique circumstance with a single booster and they are desperate for more to help out. Preaching to the choir on this board but Texas really has an opportunity to build a solid foundation and lead the pack if more people would step up. How many monthly donors are we at for football now? I bet it's still an embarrassingly low number.
  19. There was a good athletic article discussing how rampant "legal" sign stealing is including an interview with an anonymous sign stealer at another program. Essentially that if you put in the work and teams don't consistently switch it up, your signs will get stolen (while also acknowledging what Michigan did would make his job infinitely easier and was crossing the line). He also said when they think someone has their signs they move to wristbands with play calls which negates the advantage. Takes me back to that TCU game last year. Doesn't it seem like they had our signs? They shut our offense down to a level nobody else came close to. I always assumed Jared Wiley likely helped them and reading that article reminded me of that game. Of course, it that did happen, it's really on Sark for not being prepared for it.
  20. I had dinner with a client from NY this week that is orthodox and bought illegal bear mase to carry around in NY because of all the shit they are dealing with. So like I said, Fuck those "protestors". Anyone that crosses any line should be arrested for a hate crime.
  21. If anyone wants our seats tonight (123 row J) without paying fees will take $170 for the pair. Currently listed getting that after deducting fees on TM. Just send me a PM.
  22. Targeting Jewish students in a fucking library to "protest". Fuck that. And fuck them.
  23. Yeah, now that I read the article, getting access to computer drives had to stem from that. But I don't know enough about that investigation to know who would have engaged a third party law firm if not the NCAA.
  24. Nah - this screams Ohio State to me. And I despise Ohio State and always root for Michigan in that rivalry. But if Ohio St and/or boosters spearheaded this I am absolutely here for it.
  25. But I'll add my suspicion regarding the lack of sophistication among coaches generally makes me think there is a paper trail if on this if they are able to look in the like places. I see sophisticated clients and law firm partners put stupid shit in emails all the time. Can only imagine the text conversations college coaches have if those could get turned over.
