Lol at people here bemoaning the loss of Brooks. If he'd stayed, we'd have been bitching about him all season. Hell, the motherfucker got torched much of last season and was routinely bailed out by WRs not catching passes that hit their wide open hands.
I'm not going to sit here and exonerate Joseph or even Gideon. They're obvious weak links on the defensive staff. Joseph isn't going to develop shit, particularly at CB over Safety. Fine. Brooks has been on campus 3 years, and he's plateaued or regressed. I have little faith that he would have turned it around with another year of coaching from Joseph. I'll roll the dice that Mack or Black are the next Manny Muhammed, dogs that come in and are self-disciplined and will get better on their own with more reps. We know what Brooks is, at this point, under Joseph.

considering his penchant for banging porn stars I'd bet it's more likely than not that he has at least one illegitimate child
I mean, come on. Porn Stars probably have a pretty extensive understanding on birth control applications.
It's much more likely that an out of wedlock child came from some poor soul he raped. Like some illegal that worked on one of his estates.- 3

If Arch Manning plays one year, wins a Heisman, a national title, and has impeccable statistics he's going to leave.

This thread getting to crypto as its final form is hilarious.
Every Bernorange thread ends in crypto, financial gloablist conspiracy, or both. Usually both.

That's not going to sit well with a certain redass mom
She doesn’t give a fuck. Her son didn’t go to Texas. Game over as far as she’s concerned. Of course it was also game over for her son’s track career.

Going to Jonathan's The Rub (I-10) tonight for a combo of my wife's bday and her parents' anniversary very early dinner. Very early because I'll have my 1 and 3 year olds in tow.
Is anything a must-get, or is it generic high end steakhouse fare?
I haven't been enough times to know what is a must get, but everything we've had has been good. I definitely wouldn't consider it high end steakhouse, because the menu is so fucking massive.
It's like if the Cheesecake Factory churned out high end cuisine.- 1

There’s some good news for people who want to follow the Trump trial in detail, but can’t make it to the courthouse. The New York state court system has just agreed to publish a transcript of each day’s proceeding by the end of the following day on its website. You can find the daily transcripts here.

Yeah, we still expect your paste updates in real time. You're not getting off the hook that easily.

I’ve added to my guilty pleasure of reading Sooner sites. I also listened to a couple of podcasts. This is what they claim, and I’m curious as to other opinions of their accuracy.
1. They are frustrated with the modern state of the game. “It’s out of control. Something must be done”.
2. NIL seems to be a problem for them. They say that OU can get the money, but Brent wants to build a program on “relationships”, rather than “transactions”.
3. They say OU can get the money; it struggles in organizing the collectives and making the “ask”.
4. They want the NCAA to step in and regulate this. They think NIL really should just be compensation for promotions, and not pay for play. They also allow that there are probably a couple of key players on each team that deserve significant high six figure pay (you figure that one out).5. They are bringing guys like Curtis Loftin and Mark Clayton in to work personnel staff “GM” and recruiting coordinator positions.
My thoughts:Are you kidding me? The NCAA? Do they really think that’s still a thing? Hell, they started the dumping of the NCAA in football, with UGA, in the ‘80s.
Then, I figured it out. They may never have been real supporters of the NCAA, but it filled a real function for them, for decades. The NCAA had rules, and their key rivals, UT and NU, followed them. This was a huge part of their success. If Texas had bid for players against Switzer, he would never have won a single MNC. But Texas didn’t, and OU could pay a key recruit $150k to sign, no $30k per year, and Boomer Sooner.
Now, Texas’ boosters are funding NIL, and OU is struggling to keep up. They want the NCAA to step in, and regulate Texas, so they can get back to the good old ways.I'm sorry, did you just say that Nebraska followed the rules? Sure, this post is from late Februrary, but still...

This is getting Andrew Tateish.
That's probably becuase the latest flurry of discussion stemmed from a link posted by the latest sock of GRUHorn, and was from an esteemed publication literally owned by the fucking Mormon Church. LITERALLY owned by the Mormon Church. I can't imagine a more neutral source to the topic of female empowerment and a woman's right to choose whether or not she wants to have children.

I don't understand how salary caps would even work. Who enforces it? The NCAA sends a letter to Lamborghini of Austin that they can't sign a guy up as a brand ambassador because he's already made too much money from his other sponsorships? The player is disqualified once his reported income from outside business deals hits a certain level?
Should the NFL be doing that with Mahomes's State Farm contract?
18 minutes ago, BurntOrange&White said:IMO Salary caps only work for what the school could pay...not the actual NIL deals.
Yes, the idea would be to eliminate collectives in some vein. Of course, our collective was designed specifically to work on the same model as typical NIL endorsement deals, so then how do they restrict us? Good luck.

This nil bs needs to come to its ultimate conclusion where athletic departments pay players directly and there are salary caps and shit.8 hours ago, Bevo said:Then it is back to the old days.
No shit. Then Texas boosters go back to playing by the rules and all the other fuckheads start cheating again.
why would you bemoan when we now have a competitive advantage?

You keep talking about the evil GQP, but the statement that I took issue with was "This state is getting MORE racist and misogynist, not less."
I simply don't believe that is much evidence for that assertion.The state GOP owns this state. It’s implementing highly unpopular laws, racist laws, laws that relegate women to second class citizens without body autonomy, and they’re winning elections. They are the state of Texas and they are implementing racist and misogynistic laws, and they’re getting re elected. Given that, how is the state NOT getting more racist and misogynistic?

Effort into the hiring process seems like it’s going higher and higher, but retainment by decent salary increases doesn’t seem to match. My last interviewing was 30 minutes each with 3 peer level, then hiring manager, then a skip level. And it still felt like a lot for the job level.
If they just keep getting better at the hiring process they’ll be able to find those employees willing to work more hours, for way less pay and benefits and zero consideration for their own mental health and work life balance.
