  1. There are sunshine photos...There are no sunshine photos Where does "completely and totally lit by fluorescent lights and has never been outside" rank on the sunshine to no sunshine scale? Does the fact he may also be a 35 y/o undercover cop with a wife and four kids change anything?
  2. I really need to give kagi a go. Keep seeing it get wildly positive reviews over at HN
  3. I really like Gasly. Dude seems really likeable off the track
  4. Oh my god it literally went to Spez and the COO. 238m total Fuck Spez
  5. it's incredible that they lose that much despite getting MILLIONS per year in free labor from moderators.
  6. if it makes you feel any better i'm just under the g1 tier break
  7. anyone want to do a fantasy F1 thing this year?
  8. both are internal promotions, as were all of these changes announced a couple of weeks ago: Gleeson played football at Baylor as well Mitchell is also an internal promotion: this should answer the "will any of the folks who were not retained at Bama have soft landings at Texas" questions.
  9. 04 FER won 16/18 races, and in the 2 they didn't win they had a driver finish 3rd - Schumacher won 13 of the 17 he finished. Barrichello won 2. 14 Mercedes won 16 of 19 and had a top 2 driver in 18 of 19 races which is incredible. the one they didn't have a top 2 they finished 3rd and 4th 16 Mercedes won 19 of 21 between Rosberg and Hamilton. technically they won 19 of the 20 races where both drivers finished. the one they didn't win ROS finished 3rd and Lewis had a DNF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_driver_records 23 was wild as hell, and Max set a ton of record, but the guy led 75% of the laps run for the season - which is incredible. if someone wants to dig further into it, i think this is probably the years to look at
  10. how was it? any good?
  11. i realize my book written above may make it seem like i really care a ton about it and hate the hire - that's not the case. in general i am with you. he can absolutely be a plus hire without having to turn into tashard choice. i'm glad NFL folks and trainers rave about the guy but how many of them are willing to put their names on it? that's what i hate about the whole thing. it's wild as hell we are almost 3 weeks in and we don't have some rando quote from the actual DL coach he worked under last year, or anyone on that staff, using their own name to say he is a hard worker and rising star. either way - i have faith that if he can't cut it a change will be made at the position and that's all i honestly really care about. i hope he turns into a monster at developing talent, leave Texas in 3 years to go be an actual DC somewhere and is a head coach somewhere in 5 years.
  12. the answer seems to be "we swung big and missed on all of our tier 1 targets (henderson, wright, etc) and ended up hiring a guy that we liked, and maybe had as a tier 2 hire who was also get-able" no one, and i mean NO one has any idea who or what this guy is. i spent a ton of time looking for articles about him at prior jobs and they are basically zilch - even at places like fan blogs and twitter. the guy is a total and complete unknown to basically everyone who writes about the program, everyone who covers the program, national CFB writers, NFL dudes, scouting dudes, etc. it's the position coach Texas has hired with the least written about him in the last decade and change and it's not even close. he may absolutely kill it - and obviously we all hope he does - but he may also get fired before the spring term ends. we're 3 weeks in and we still don't know shit about his salary, which would be a huge giveaway on what the team thinks about him. for comparison last year Milwee made $425k base, Gideon made $475k base and Chris Jackson made $550k base. if he makes $425k he would have been the #30 highest paid DL coach in the country Texas hired Baker somewhere around 2/1 and as of last Wed (2/14) Gerry said he had spent 4 days on the road recruiting. at this point the only thing that makes sense is they swung and missed on a TON of people due to timing, and ended up with a guy they could actually hire who was a good bit further down their list. his coaching profile doesn't match up with anyone Sark has hired at Texas historically or the process they have followed with his position coach hires. it's wild as hell we are almost 3 weeks in and the only comments we have about the guy are basically all sourced stuff or Sark saying that everyone they talked to (generic) raved about him if he worked closely with Pete Jenkins (he didn't) wouldn't you at least be able to get the retired 80 something year old on the record saying *ANYTHING* about the guy?
  13. that West A bracket is *loaded* of course Faison gets a bracket with easily the worst #2 and worst #3 probably in the tournament. excited to see the show back, it's probably my favorite cooking competition show on TV right now
  14. remember when Elon just closed a datacenter to save money and unplugged a lot of shit - just a reminder how dumb that was https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/11/elon-musk-moved-twitter-servers-himself-in-the-night-new-biography-details-his-maniacal-sense-of-urgency.html
  15. odds are that he is still pretty close. USA today for last year: https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/football/coach
