    SIAP

    but I think the Jags’s owners son has something to do with the consistent media attention, especially from barstool. He’s been on pardon my take several times and barstool isn’t letting up. Wondering if he’s feeding them info and trying to make it worse. He now hold a position as director of analytics so I’m sure there’s a power struggle with Urban.

    It's definitely coming from Tony. The story about the locker room to the SI writer came directly from khan 

  2. If he gets boat raced by the Titans this weekend then I think they pull the trigger and fire him. I will laugh all the way to an 0-17 record with Charlie Strong as the head coach. They probably promote Darrel Bevell instead. 

  3. I just saw this on Reddit. I know it's an old joke that Porsche and Audi are always interested in joining Formula 1 but never do. I assume this means they are going to join as an engine supplier rather than a full racing team

  4. I mean it's not just COTA, people are predicting Miami 2022 to be about the same price. I am prepared to spend $900-1000 on 3-day GA tickets for me and the wife. I have a buddy who is also going. He plays on the European Tour and his management company represents Mark Weber and Damon Hill. We are hoping to get some upgraded tickets through the agency but they aren't sure what they can do because interest is already high. It has to be all of the Drive to Survive people wanting to see a race for the first time.

    I was high on the PK bandwagon.  Then Arky happened and that was one of the worst game plans from a DC I’ve seen at Texas.   Soooo…. I’m going to see how he does against teams that aren’t sunbelt teams before I give him any more praise. 

    It gave me BYU 2013 flashbacks thats for sure.

  6. I don't get this line: "The Americans seem to have lost interest in their multi-billion dollar toy." Formula 1 is exploding in the American market. Viewership is up almost 50% and ESPN is promoting races and stories pretty heavily. Seems like an odd take unless he is referring to Liberty not spending time and money to grow the sport in Asia.

    Ferrari doesn’t control that seat anymore, and Mick is almost definitely staying at Haas. It really sounds like RBR are working to get Albon in either the Williams or Alfa seat. 
     

     

     

    Oh wow i missed the financial support piece. That would be big for either of those teams.

    He’s also supposed to be an extremely feedback driver in the sim because he’s consistent, so I could see Ferrari having him do both. 
     

    It doesn’t really make sense to keep him in an F1 seat. He’s 28 and hasn’t shown signs of being anymore than slightly below average. 

    I agree. He rarely outperforms his car in qualifying and while he is typically strong on the first lap his race pace isn't fantastic. As cool as it would be to see Albon get that second seat I could see ferrari push Mick to the second Alfa seat (or keep him there to help fund Haas) or Robert Schwartzman gets placed in Alfa because he is the Ferrari Driver. 

    Alex probably has a better future in indy car at this point

    Well a lot of you parents on here have kids in the greek system at UT.  Encourage them to get together informally and work as a team to make sure some of the more attractive elements of our student body make their way over to those edges of those sections above the recruit patios.  If the frat guys are real gentlemen, they'll run over and reserve those areas and then everybody else can fill in accordingly.  Let's use the Greek System for good this time!

    This is what pledges are for.

  10. I am surprised no one is talking about this story out of Italy: https://www.formu1a.uno/opinione-ferrari-cauta-coraggiosa-ma-la-sf21-e-un-ottimo-passo-avanti/

    It seems like Ferrari were the ones sandbagging things. Picking up ~40 horsepower during the offseason is massive. I get that most F1 teams don't really care about pure hp numbers, but to bring back that straight line speed gives them a chance to steal more podiums than they did last year.  I really think they are going to make the battle for third place more interesting than it was last year.

    We still don’t know where their tokens were spent.

    James Allison said it would be clear in due time, and they said this on a comment on their YouTube video today.....

    c66fcb3c28eb85589734f6a0c1e8cc64.png

    I’m guessing they will have some new stuff for the first race.

    someone on reddit was saying they may have adjusted their gearbox mounting a bit and used both tokens doing that. Who knows though. It would make no sense for them to have sandbagged testing with what little time they had. I really think they have a correlation issue between their wind tunnel and the track. Clearly something on the rear of that car isn't behaving like they expected. Because it's Mercedes they will certainly fix it in a few weeks. Maybe for Imola? That team is too stacked to just let this persist.

  12. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.data-suggests-ferrari-have-recovered-quite-a-lot-of-speeds-on-the-straights.7htBRyAQYpcUnPXQbzwqqz.html

     

    It will be interesting to see how much of this was true. I remember last year during testing they were saying everyone should be prepared for Ferrari to struggle and everyone just thought it was them sand bagging. Turns out he was telling the truth. I have to feel he is doing the same. He doesn't come out saying they will be world beaters but it certainly feels like they will compete with mclaren, racing point, and maybe even redbull on certain tracks.

    Interesting that there aren't many photos from the rear of the car. I wonder if they found something with the diffuser or rear suspension and don't want to give it away just yet. Also that floor board looks really simple.

    Ah, the Other98. I dunno, I assume he’s bankrupt and working as a low level insurance analyst. @closetojumping might know, they vetted his firm for some contract work, but I don’t think they got the bid. If memory served Hamm showed up to the meeting and handed out homemade business cards that said “Recruiting Jesus” with Jimbo Fisher’s picture on it and then stole a bunch of Keurig coffee cups from the break room. 

    I sat for a second trying to determine if this was a real story or not. I came to the conclusion that I don't care. I would rather live in a world where I believe it's true.

    LJ goes to the fucking aggiest of aggy high schools, I’m surprised he was in the convo this late... 

    I went to high school there for a few years before moving and even the fucking colors are aggy. This was in the early 2000s and the coaches were pimping aggy over the horns.

    Yes, but most fans here did not approve.

    Yeah that's true - he is a rape enabling piece of shit. The important thing is there is will at the administration level and the booster level to bring people in that the coach deems necessary to win. I think you and I can both agree there is a difference between what Horny brings to the table and Pruitt. We will find out soon enough what all Pruitt did but if it's not show-cause worthy I think the administration will just weather the short term storm from average fans.

    I just want to know if the average Texas fans is willing to forgive Pruitt of his sins and receive that prodigal son?  Dude is a legit DC.  Why do I get the feeling that Sark is not clear that Texas does not operate on the level of the SEC in terms of how "things" are done.  On the one hand i'm glad but on the other hand its a very new position for the average Texas fan to be in.  The thought of hiring an investigated Pruitt in and of itself will be a new one for the fanbase.  If he is on Sarks list ultimately I can see framing this as his redemption tour under Texas' tight control  but as you throw in Banks I sense the collective set of eyebrows on the scale of judgement start to rise.  Interesting times.

    counterpoint, have you ever been to Jacksonville?

    Have you ever been to Jacksonville? Outside of shitty bbq, there is nothing particularly bad about it. Great weather, and golf. Above average beaches.
