  1. CDC has said UT wants to expand its 266 scholarships to 466 once the House settlement is resolved. Now, an average is a grotesquely inadequate calculation, but $20.5M annual that's an "average" of $44K annual per athlete. Obviously a few superstars will bank far more than that but I find it unlikely that they'll chew up $10M or more for a half dozen kids. Maybe they will and the rest will just be told to suck it, but I think it's going to change things, and drastically. Quite possibly for the better, because this shit is getting out of control.
  2. Not many schools (even private) can do that. Harvard is reportedly risking $9B in federal funding. Their endowment is just over $50B, and even so they would be restricted in how they use it. This will lead to serious program cuts.
  3. I mostly knew him from Dazed & Confused, but he was fantastic in that role.
  4. He was Haitian?
  5. I don't think he played much point before late in the season.
  6. Sure. My other thoughts are (a) they wouldn't need propane, they could be all-electric and (b) if they were truly a month out from occupancy, why would the propane tank have already been filled? We had ours installed and filled on the day we moved in.
  7. . . . with the Arky and Texas series on the road for them.
  8. You do realize a very common residential propane tank has 500 gallon capacity? Leak all that into a house and it's definitely a large bomb.
  9. Not BBQ, but their chicken fried steak didn't suck, at least 20 years ago.
  10. I assume that SEC standard holds. This is just coming from a UGA insider, who knows?
  11. Ice cold schooners of beer don't suck. The food was always very "eh" at best.
  12. It's way too early to speculate, but that's never stopped me before. I would expect a considerable number of lawsuits will be filed against the contractor. The homeowners were apparently a month out from moving in, so I would assume they had not yet received a certificate of occupancy.
  13. Vols rumored to be going after UGA bench warmer Jaden Rashada. I'm pretty sure he never to a snap for the 'dawgs. Played 3 games for Arizona State in 2023.
  14. They beat us last year. Different Texas team to be sure.
  15. It's pretty muted over there. I think our #1 ranking has taken the wind out of their sails.
  16. That graphic is wrong, I don't see Texas A&M.
  17. Last year's SEC national seeds and their conference records: 1. Tennessee (22-8) 2. Kentucky (22-8) 3. Texas A&M (19-11) 5. Arkansas (20-10) 7. Georgia (17-13) 22-8 is outstanding and a lock for a top 8 seed.
  18. Nah, Ethan's currently hitting 0.363
  19. You're thinking of anapsychosis.
  20. I wasn't trying to be contrary, I thought you were referring to our remaining conference schedule.
  21. Rankings are going to change, but as of now we're on the road to 1 Arky and 19 Okie. We have 11 Auburn, NR A&M (lol) and NR Florida at home.
  22. I didn't mind the way they played so much as the way they acted. The leaning into pitches gets old, but I like the agression on the basepaths. Their coach is a douchebag and the team takes their cues from him. Fuck you, cats.
