  1. I actually would be in for treefiddy. I'm not sure what I really bring to the table so I will be submitting proxy votes in line with whatever @alphahorn says to do, should he join. @Randolph Duke has given me Dr. Michael Burry vibes from the Tell Me About A&M thread. Just instead of plowing through hundreds of thousands of underlying mortgages to make a fortune, he's sorting through mountains of paper to expose aggie since we the people of the great state of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.
  2. Guys we might have a much darker NowThis situation...
  3. If this is a troll, bravo for irritating the living shit out of me. Go on the surly podcast and tell us why your half-ass pity fund is deserving of our charity. I’m doubtful your reasoning (uhhhh it will help me out?) will change my mind, but I’ll at least toss you some bucks for actually putting in that minimal amount of effort.
  4. PDF-to-Excel'ed a few of these and put them together for anyone who wants it. @Randolph Duke if you already have a big excel file with all the data (historicals too), I'd love to get my hands on that. Things that stuck out to me (and I only looked at 2020 so wouldn't be shocked if some of these are going to just be pandemic anomalies): UT's recruiting budget is only at $1.7M which feels low. A&M at $2.6M, LSU at $2.8M, Bama at $3.4M. We are closer to Tech who is at $1.6M. UT blows same schools out of water in our "fund raising, marketing and promotion" expense line item at $6.5M. Next closest is Alabama at $3.7M, aggie at $230k (maybe a categorization issue). Bama's "Medical Expense and Insurance" line item at $3.0M which is significantly higher than anyone else. UT at $1.6M, aggie at $1.0M, LSU at $1.25M, Tech at $1.7M. Random noise or are they doing something different (HGH)? Something seems off to me that LSU is only showing $4.3M in royalties, licensing and advertisement revenue. UT and aggie dwarf that figure at $39M and $17.9M. Surprisingly, somehow Tech comes in higher than Bama here at $14.5M and $13.0M respectively. Some kind of categorization issue? NCAA Financials - University Comparison.xlsx
  5. Still gave you a 'fuck you' but will acknowledge I almost laughed.
  6. I have no personal connection to Jake. My desire to know would be purely to satiate the (natural) curiosity. But Jake is not some anonymous figure and the facts were going to come out. I think this board (by its standards) showed a lot of restraint and respect in the wake of the news. If things that aren't true are being circulated here, than fuck us. But I do not think that is the case and I don't understand the desire to just not talk about it and act like the COD is irrelevant. Does the COD alter Jake's legacy or make what happened any less tragic? Absolutely fucking not and I haven't seen a single post that suggests that. I do not have kids but you really don't sound like you do either. Do you know that athletes are the most influential people to a lot of kids? How is it a stretch to think that a parent from this board being able to talk to their kid (also presumably a longhorn fan) about what happened to Jake would have far more impact than the typical/canned, don't-do-drugs sit down. Like it or not, what happened to Jake as an example carries far more weight than some statistic around anonymous casualties from some random news article.
  7. Agreed on Relatively Easy. I'd put Live Oak up there in the underrated category. It's a little different than most of his other writing in that (I've read) it's an allegory about his recovery from addiction that drops the listener into the life of an outlaw in a different time. He's talked in interviews of how he was afraid of getting sober because how much drinking was engrained in who he had become / his lifestyle. I read this song as his fear that with sobriety, he'd lose a (the) piece of him that made him liked / attractive to the people around him before he got clean. Well you couldn't stay a loner On the plains before the war My neighbors had been slightin' me I had to ask what for Rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town Soon she'd heard about the boys I used to hang around We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter Killed a couple men or more And I told her her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword All the things that she'd suspected I'd expected her to fear Was the truth that drew her to me when I landed here
  8. It got dusty the first time I heard this Isbell line after Roy Halladay's passing. Still can't hear it without thinking of him. Christmas time when folks go off the deep end His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin Enough to kill a man of twice his size Not for me to understand Remember him when he was still a proud man? A vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand Nothing but the blue sky in his eye
  9. I this this is pretty accurate. McMurtry is my favorite song writer. In large part because he can so easily lull you in with the sharp, chuckle inducing lines just to fuck you up with some truth in the same song. Isbell is more likely to leave me speechless but fuck, can McMurtry tell a story. Some of my favorites: Ruby and Carlos: From: "Down below the mason dumb ass line the food gets worse I can't go back to Tennessee That Nascar country's not for me" To: "And holding back the flood Just don't do no good. You can't unclench your teeth, To howl the way you should. So you curl your lips around The taste of tears and the hollow sound That no one owns but you. No one owns but you" Copper Canteen: From: "Honey, don't you be yelling at me when I'm cleaning my gun I'll wash the blood off the tailgate when deer season's done We got one more weekend to go And I'd like to kill one more doe" To: "We grew up hard and our children don't know what that means We turned into our parents before we were out of our teens" Some other favorites: All of State of the Union and of course, Choctaw Bingo. You Got to Me: "The paper boy wants a smoke Leans his bike against a tree And he's tired and cold and broke And he don't know what to make of me Standing here in my three piece suit Standing here just like I am With my vest unbuttoned and my necktie loose Impervious to all abuse" Carlisle's Haul: "Hear them crabbers cuss the weather And they cuss the government too 'Cause nowadays crabbin' and fishin' Hangin' on to a pot to piss in Is just about the best a man can do It's hard not to cry and cuss When this old world is just bigger than us And all we got is pride and trust in our kind"
  10. Fuck. Just a kid. Most of us probably only really knew him as Sam's little brother. Looking forward to more tributes like Overshown's to shed light on who he was as his own person. I too have spent a good chunk of the evening fighting back tears. Wish we could take away some of the pain from this poor family. What more can you say. Fuck this.
  11. Onus is on him to prove with pics whether his wife does or does not have a penis.
  12. @Serak The Preparer@Dahobbs Thanks guys- both of these get the job job and I'm going to roll with it. It's annoying to me because it seems like it should be easier than it is. I think about the way you can use an index(match,match) function to find a value across both an array with both row and column conditions... seems like you should easily be able to use that same functionality to include a sumif / maxif/ averageif/ whatever function over an array selected by said condition but.... I'm stumped and cannot find an example of doing that anywhere. Anyways, thanks again for taking a look and helping me get what I needed.
  13. When you nut and she keeps sucking
  14. Correct that here are ~200 columns of different statistics. But not trying to identify the statistic that is the largest in a given city / year. Trying to find the largest value in the specific statistic column that is defined in a dropdown assumption (cell C5 in the example) for that city in those years. So cell C6 is the answer I would be looking for, I just don't know how to write that formula. Hopefully that makes sense? Thanks for taking a look.
  15. Calling on the wizards. I'm usually able to find solutions with a google search but am running into a wall. Below is a simple example of what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a large set of data (200 columns, 25,000 rows) and I am trying to write a formula that will return the max value given the criteria of 1) time period, 2) city, and 3) statistic (column), which will all be selected from a dropdown; goal is for the formula to dynamically calculate based off these inputs and refresh to correct answer when assumptions change. . I was able to figure out how to do this for the sum and average but am stumped here. formula example.xlsx
  16. Just finally tried out Tony C's. Good draft beer selection (to me) and pretty good happy hour deals. Had the Primo and it was alright. It'd be hard for me to put the pizza close to Pinthouse, Home Slice and Buffalina. Cool space though.
  17. I'm super late to the game here but going to PM you.
  18. Comparing the response/resulting statistics of a state who's largest city is 100K to Texas or California or any state with highly concentrated metro centers isn't at all apples to apples. If LA or NYC didn't implement the "ineffective mitigation mandates" you really believe the resulting increase in deaths would be less than what they'll now be left with at the hands of suicides and substance abuse? Yeah right.
  19. Kids name is even Walker. They fucked with the wrong guy. Apparently Spencer Jones spent two years at Liberty before transferring to OU. No wonder he obviously had no experience in bar fights.
  20. Hoping all of your homes warm up like the DKR visitor locker room at halftime.
  21. Shit. I'm 78757- just on the other side of Mopac. Been good all day...
  22. I'm further up Burnet in North Shoal Creek neighborhood and we haven't lost power. Not sure what our link would be.
