  1. No, I mean, I get all of what you're saying. I'm simply looking at it through the prism of what I think that salary and household income is going to get someone in the next 10-20 years with the cost of skyrocketing things like homes, cars, even food. To me what you're describing is people getting second jobs to make ends meat. I get where you're coming from, I just think what you're describing in another 15 years will be closer to where you came from than where it exists currently.
  2. I mean, does he have reason to be modest? Doesn't that imply he has praiseworthy traits?. Remember, this is all about HIM.
  3. Between these two posts, I'm curious Brisket, what do you consider "secure life to provide for my family" money these days?
  4. Good on you for having high aspirations. You'll never be smart, handsome, or have good takes, but hey, you're not a quitter. So you get back out there and butcher the english language with gusto!
  5. I don’t get bunting there.
  6. He muffed all those fielding plays? He personally iced all our bats?
  7. This the same crew that was dying we don’t bring her in for salmon?
  8. Mike White fucked up this fielding too.
  9. He made your watch while your wife went ass to mouth on him, didn’t he? I think you’re so angry because you liked it.
  10. I’ve been told with authority by an internet poster that isn’t at all unhinged that softball pitchers have unlimited bullets. Fatigue isn’t a thing.
  11. I think Mike White fucked Great Hornsby’s wife, and then fucked Great Hornsby.
  12. Thats stupid. tk was shaky in the first inning last night. Most guys are shaky when they get in. Mac was tonight. I don’t want to bring in a new pitcher with the bases fucking loaded.
  13. Fuck this bitch. Plunk her.
  14. Delayed to 750 due to weather
  15. I don’t follow mlb. But I wanted to punch his face on her IG. I’m sure that wasn’t jealousy, however.
  16. "This girl isn't Livvy Dunne" - SydneyCarton in his original post "Hey, that girl isn't close to Livvy Dunne." - Helobious, ever the fucking idiot. We're all glad you felt the need to type all that out in agreement, although now the fact you agree with me haunts me. If you had read my post, you'd see me compare her to former UT player Lauren Burke, who demonstrably had a fuck ton of corporate sponsorships while playing Softball for Texas in Austin. The post is as much about the availability of corporate money in Austin for attractive softball players. It has nothing to do with Livvy Dunne, other than saying "she's not livvy dunne" in the first part of the post, you fucking stupid non-reading fuck. I'm glad you had to look her up, despite me literally including a picture in the post. Are you fucking blind too?
  17. Yes you are. It's the illustration. First off, you're completely mistaken at the idea that "funds are separate from football." Texas One Fund handles a ton of NIL for all the different sports, while football is certainly prioritized, guess what, unless that money is designated to a specific sport, it's going to football first and foremost. Additionally, the funds come from Boosters. Period. A guy who gave his maximum amount for the year has given his maximum amount. The "Just ask someone else" Fallacy is just that, because OU is already going around whining about how fucking poor they are, and how they can't compete. Period. It's not because they're sitting on a ton of funds and the athletic department just hasn't asked for more money the right way. But you're really missing the actual point. You can speculate their booster and NIL funds all you want, and you can apply whatever logic you want to the situation, but that is completely IMMATERIAL to the perception that recruits have...which is "You found million dollars for a softball player, but you won't find market value for my son?" It doesn't matter the circumstances, the reality, just like it doesn't matter that our football NIL roster didn't cost 45 million dollars...Kirk Bohls said it, and now the perception is the reality, and we have to deal with it. And that narrative would be a problem for OU.
  18. You're deliberately not acknowledging the point.
  19. Let me illustrate even easier for JS1: "You paid a softball player 1 million dollars, but you're telling me you can't pay a million dollars for my 5 star QB kid? Well ok." And we should be cheering for it to happen. That being said it's apparently all for 'naught.
  20. Pickens can come to Texas and earn half a million on fucking instagram endorsements. She's not Livvy Dunne, but she's fucking smoking hot. I bet she could easily make Lauren Burke money, and she had a fucking assload of sponsorships while at UT. She had an athleisure company paying her, an energy drink company paying her, and apparently Qualcomm technologies. H&R Block. Lifesum. Listen, I'm just scrolling through her instagram at this point, for you guys, because it was extremely painful to learn that Lauren Burke is now married to some chode and pregnant. I make this sacrifice for you, surly. Anyway, the point is, Pickens is hot enough to get a good fucking chunk of corporate money in Austin. More than pretty much any other city, I'd wager.
  21. Who is this HuttNuts character stanning for Satya in your rep?
  22. Funny. I had complete certainty that no one was going to step up on the UT side. Honestly I'm surprised that Clark Field Collective and some others also showed up. Sort of.
