  1. If Dana White goes to jail, who is going to turn all those letters for Pat Sajak?
  2. ESPN doesn’t get the SEC’s tier one rights until 2024. Texas and Oklahoma’s first big time SEC games will get major ratings (Think about when we played Alabama, LSU, or Georgia) and if those games occurred in 2023 CBS would own those. 2024 was always the most likely date for those move just due to the way these contracts were laid out.
  3. CBS has been expanding their coverage they now have deals for the service academies and the MWC, but you are right historically, outside of 1-2 Saturdays a year they don’t carry a game in Prime Time. With NBC getting exclusive rights to the prime time Big Ten the PAC is hoping they still want a few 7pm kickoffs and will play ball. Since it’s sounds like FOX/ESPN won’t pay, getting a combo deal with CBS for a few prime time games, and possibly NBC for a few 230 kicks when they do NOT have a Notre Dame home game to broadcast (even if it’s just to get a token contract to get ND@Stanford every other year) might get them enough visibility to pull off an Amazon streaming deal. But all in all this isn’t going to go well for the Arizona schools. Utah is good enough to get some visibility, and Colorado with their new coach might get some novelty attention. But I would be shocked if Arizona or ASU somehow end up benefiting from this arrangement.
  4. Summary for those of us not able to follow this year?
  5. To be seen, it been purposely kept vague. Allows them to save face like they are doing something. It’s being talked about as permanent but they are setting the value based on what the PAC12’s TV deal will be versus the Big Ten’s. Logic says this is just to satisfy and tamp down the anger around the move for the next 5 years or so and then it will disappear once cooler heads prevail. This opens a can of worms since all the other UC schools could demand similar tax to help their mental wellness budgets for their basketball teams and end up having Cal/UCLA subsidize Irvine/Riverside/SanDiego/SantaBarbara/Davis.
  6. Fuck the refs Fuck Nebraska Fucking a ladies, Hook’em!!! So proud of this team.
  7. The buyout would be $0 because the GOR ends after 2024, but the EXIT FEE (2 seasons of our conference payout) would still apply though when the 4 new teams join the exit fee will decrease some as our payout will be decreasing some. To leave early we’d have to pay the exit fee (which could be negotiated down), and get ESPN/FOX and the Big12 to release us from the GOR. To leave after 2024 it’s just the exit fee. ESPN and the Big 12 sound like they want us to move in 2024, but FOX would lose any access to UT/OU so trading OOC games is the only chip we can offer to give them makeup games in the future. ESPN could trade some of their Big 12 tier one inventory to make FOX play ball, but that assumes they’d come to an agreement on value of UT/OU versus the remaining B12. Since historically the vast majority of tier one Big 12 games are for UT/OU, would ESPN have to give up 50% of their 2024 t1 B12 inventory or would FOX demand 100% or more that would stretch into 2025+? As soon as FOX agrees to a value this whole thing will get wrapped up.
  8. No CR so I’ll skip the second one (but at least I understand what it means), but wtf does Jimbo 2023 mean? Is he running for Mayor or something?
  9. I just won a MetaQuest2 at my company’s Christmas party. Everyone still a fan? It comes with BeatSaber and ResidentEvil4. Any other games/apps considered a must have?
  10. First: use https://12ft.io Second: yes different but still same, they’ve been trying to get money even before we switched conferences Third: Fuck’em (join a real system if they want system money)
  11. Yes, not impossible by any means just unlikely. We pulled Calvin Anderson from Rice on the OL and picked up DB Ryan Watts from Ohio State, I think those will just be more rare than offensive skills players which are more plug/play. Look at 5 star BJ Foster, went from starting at Texas to Sam Houston. I think it’s a bigger risk in other positions to transfer out than offensive skill players, that was the only point I was making.
  12. Offensive skill players and kickers will always be in high demand. I think Oline and defense is where it might be more difficult (still not impossible) to find a plug a play athlete due to scheme and fit.
  13. Penny our basset and Copper our beagle both passed in 2020, and we’ve been doing a major remodel that’s about done so we decided it was time for a new dog. The wife found a 3 month old stray being fostered Dallas through ASPCA that we drove up last week to get. No idea on the breed, vets best guess is Lab/Beagle/Pit/Leopard dog mix. The mom approved names were Lady or Roux the kids ‘picked’ Roux (and yep I know there is another poster on here with a dog with that name). She loves to play fetch and is great with the kids. So far she’s been a pretty good girl.
  14. I voted for Watson because it seemed like he at least has some idea on how to actually address key issues for the city while Celia seemed like just talk and less action. Nothing specific about your post, but I find it amusing that people keep saying stuff like this without a real solution. The City and Mayor have virtually no control on I35. Austin can’t really expand anymore around I35 downtown/central corridor so the Katy Freeway sprawl argument (fallacy aside) doesn’t apply, and TXDOT has spent hundreds of billions expanding I35 from Dallas to San Antonio. Austin never had a choice to stop it. The only solution was making 130 a bypass but CTRMA fucked that up years ago, ever since then expanding 35 was a foregone conclusion.
  15. I don’t they they allow women to use the glory holes…tradition and all.
  16. I have one of these. The fan motors that pushes the air through the vents is busted. Electrician didn’t want to fuck with it, so now it’s on my todo list.
  17. Bought mine before the leveling feet came out. Can’t justify getting another just for that reason. Still, the ladder is legit.
  18. So he hit her with his truck and then killed her?
  19. We’re hiring new kids of out college with no experience at $70k/year just for having any type of technical degree. 20 years ago it was $35k/year. Many around here can afford the extra $75k. It’s the teachers, nurses, first responders and the like that we’d need to find solutions for.
