  1. The endowment of the UT system pays for that. UT Austin does not, it has nothing to do with athletics.
  2. The first part I agree. Though last season it was 15% of your games showing 0 not 30%. The second part your discounting your own argument you listed in the first part. Last season ISU was on FOX OTA 3 times and Kentucky was on ABC OTA once. ISU was on ESPN 2 times and UK was on it 4 times. ISU had 5 other rated games and 2 unrated, UK had 1 other rated games and 6 unrated. 50% of Kentucky games were unrated, while ISU was only 15%. I agree with you that I personally would rather watch ISU football over Kentucky, but that’s not pat yourself on the back too hard. You can’t say your unrated games are punishing you and then brag about stats over other schools that have even more games unrated.
  3. They are NOT supposed to be able to use MLS, that’s why they got sued. We’re a non disclosure state. Scrapping MLS data via Zillow/Redfin was/is a violation. https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2019/05/reporters-notebook-game-of-homes/
  4. Vandy is on the SECN a lot. Last season they played in the SECN 8 times, on SEC+(streaming only) once, ACCN once, CBSSN once. Their only rated games last season was against UGA on CBS (which I think was contractually required to pick every team at least once).

  6. So this proves my point. 31% too much Support for Israel 25% think this is the right amount 24% too little 20% who the fuck knows At least 49% prefer the status quo or more. So the current government in power is going to make 31% happy that are already in their camp. We know the other side has generally less than 50% of the vote so a good portion of that “right amount” are likely swing voters that could decide the election. That is my only point here.
  7. That’s great and I can even agree with much of what you are saying, however as this is an election year this is not the best time for this. As a moderate who does not want “he who shall not be named” reelected, not supporting Israel will rally his base and alienate many in the middle who do not agree with these protests/protesters. I’m firmly in the camp of sit down and shut up for the next few months and don’t give the opposition any ammunition. You can have which ever opinion you wish, but caving to the childish antics of those so far extreme that even liberal Saturday night live is making fun of…doesn’t bode well for November. We’re past the primaries, where the candidates historically are supposed to be pivoting to the middle. Keeping the status quo would be the middle. Increasing shipments of weapons would lean too far right, restricting shipments leans too far left and thus they are handing “red meat” to the opposition who will use it like a cudgel during this election cycle to sway those in the middle. It’s highly likely that anyone supporting Palestine is already in your camp. So while you can celebrate this as a short term win for that cause, this may be one of the things that could hand the election of your the opposition. And if they win, what do you think the ramifications will be to the Palestinian cause? Win the battle but lose the war. That’s as close to a CR from me as you’re bound to get.
  8. Just serving up red meat for the opposition by appeasing the extremists.
  9. They haven’t designed which game will be on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday yet.
  10. I’m pretty sure it will almost work out that way except Highlander rules: FSU/Clemson/UNC/UVA/Miami/ND will leave and the Big 12 will take the best of the rest. Boston College and Wake Forest need not apply.
  11. Cheer on the Pokes and if they pull off one more (and we take care of Tech tomorrow) we win outright.
