This was your main take away?
If you want my real takeaway it's this: at some 4th rate college in the UK with 3000 students and that has only been a university for 6 years, a staffer in the journalism school sent out a memo saying don't use ALL CAPs in your messages to students. The professors and students both laughed off this suggestion. Yet some idiot decided this was still worthy of a new thread. Great job.

What the fuck is a "university lecturer"?

Is everyone in this thread a millionaire yet?

Looking forward to her being grilled on CSPAN for 8 hours over this.

1 Right now we don't deserve and much less need to be in the playoffs.
But for sake of conversation, the playoffs would love a resurgent Texas in the playoffs. That's a lot of eyes added to the playoffs.
I wonder what would happen if we finished off the rest of the season in dominant fashion.
Clemson wins its conference.
tOSU losses Michigan in a close one but wins the rest of the day
Michigan wins the conference but it's a game they are completely flat.
ND wins out.
Georgia struggles in a couple of wins down the stretch but beats alabamq by 10.
I would be fun to watch ESPN lobby a second SEC 1 loss Alabama over a lossless ND, 1 loss Michigan, and a dominant Texas that hasn't lost since week one.
Honestly Alabama could lose 2 or 3 and still be in at this point.

He played a great game today. Still a little inaccurate on his throws but he played smart and good enough to win
Fuck that "good enough to win". They won despite giving up 45 points. He played a nearly flawless game.

Not pretty but a win is a win. On to Cincinnati.

Seems like he made the right choice. If he hadn't transferred he would have been put in the game today and lose his last year of eligibility.

So Sumlin turned them in or did I misread that? Please let that be the case that he was the one.
Yes, that's the best part. Transfers need to give some kind of "mitigating circumstances" to get a waiver to play right away. These aren't reported to the NCAA but to the new school. So it was Sumlin that decided to leak this to the press.
Info from here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2018/08/21/texas-am-faces-ncaa-scrutiny-former-player-eligibility-jimbo-fisher/1052434002/
QuoteIt’s quite possible Marchiol’s account might otherwise not have come to light. He did not contact the NCAA. He included the allegations as part of a statement he sent to the compliance office at Arizona, where Sumlin is the coach and Marchiol is enrolled and practicing with the football team, in his request for an NCAA waiver that would allow him to play instead of sitting out the upcoming season.

So much for that safe Red district.
95% chance of Hunter win per 538 (before this story of course).

It's being reported as a straight guilty plea with no cooperation language in the plea with 3-5 years in prison..... So let's assume he's not cooperating. Implications? Obviously, Cohen's been told he'll be pardoned but what's in it for the Mueller team? Just a skin on the wall?
Cohen charges aren't being brought by Mueller. They handed off the current set of Cohen crimes to NY because it isn't directly related to the Russia investigation.

Following up, this is my new favorite comedy. I'm just sad it took me so long to hear about it. More people need to be watching this.

Looking at 2019 recruiting, how is UCLA ranked 84th on 247? Shouldn't Chip Kelly + UCLA be a recruiting powerhouse? They are 10th in the Pac12 somehow.

The model should be more premium seats and better value for fans. No one wants to pay money to sit on shitty end zone bleachers like aggy has. Not in the era where everyone has a flat screen and every game is televised.
Agreed. The "biggest stadium" era is over now that the in-home experience is so good. Improving the quality of the fan experience at the game is much more important than stadium size.

I avoid the target date funds personally but for most people make sense. The .15 ER is 4 times higher than .04 for the all-market Vanguard, but that is misleading since .11 is already such a small amount. What that buys you compared to building the same allocation yourself is the automatic rebalancing. Not everyone wants to set a reminder to rebalance constantly. I do it, but for most people the target date fund lets you set it and forget it for a relatively low price.

If you came across 500k of unexpected cash and were pretty convinced a crash was right around the corner, what Vanguard funds would you be eyeing?
If you are convinced there is a crash coming, cash or VGLT (long-maturity treasuries).

If you follow the statements of Trump's top immigration advisors, the focus was always going to be on legal immigrants. They see an Asian CEO in Silicon Valley as more of a problem than an undocumented Mexican farmworker.

My head says to cheer for OU since we already beat them on a neutral field, and it wasn't nearly as close as the final score says, while we lost to WVU at home. But I just can't do it, too satisfying for OU to be sitting at home watching the Big XII championship between two teams they lost to.
