Finally saw this on Apple+ last night. I’m glad I watched it and know this piece of history. However, I can’t imagine ever watching it again. It’s just too long to watch in a single sitting and there is no real suspense to the movie.

Can the starters go deeper if we went with a 6 man rotation?

There's a myriad of other ways that you can tell that traffic is higher that involves property. You as another South Texas ranch owner are probably familiar with that.
What are you seeing? Historically normal stuff?
My place is off the beaten path and I have about 1 incident per year under each of the last 2 administrations.
Also, I’ve only had vehicle issues and have never had any problems with break-ins, etc.

Where have you seen population adjusted numbers? I am skeptical.
You will say anecdotal, but I've lived or had direct family members living in one of the highest traffic sectors for about 40 years. Both apprehended illegals and not (passing by on game cameras) numbers are substantially higher. Also, incidents involving property damage and calling BP much higher. Just telling you what Texans on the ground are seeing.
With respect to the property damage comment, how much of the damage is caused by poorly thought out pursuits by law enforcement?
It’s my impression that most of the property damages to ranches occurs due to high-speed chases with law enforcement. I don’t know the answer to this, but a lot of the complaints may disappear if we didn’t have fences damaged due to the multiple car chases everyday.
This is coming from a ranch-owner in South Texas.

This is a vast exaggeration. OJ put most of his wealth in real estate - the house where he lives somewhere in Florida. No matter how much your house is worth it is exempt from seizure in Florida. So whether you’re trying to collect 133 million or $133, you can’t sell a persons home in Florida - no matter how expensive - to pay off the judgment. And no matter how rich you are, or how much you have in ERISA 401k retirement accounts, no creditors, other than the IRS, can normally seize an ERISA account. Those protections apply to everyone no matter how much money they have.
Now, you can do creative things using trust accounts if you are rich that poor people cannot do. They can move a ton of money from savings accounts and investment accounts to a trust - and then they no longer own that money. Because they do longer on the money you can’t seize it. Timing and intent determine if you can get away with it. My lawyer knowledge is bankruptcy light, so somebody else feel free to explain it far better than I did.

Can't y'all just move a manhole cover on her street or something? If she fell in, the neighborhood would probably decline to report it.

Well that makes a little more sense and I applaud Coach Davis for getting the Cajuns to give him a raise and coach his son.

Why are we losing a coach to LSU for a lateral move/300k in pay?
This makes no fucking sense.

If someone really had the secret to getting wealthy, why would they sell it to random people for pennies on the dollar via books and/or seminars?

I am probably too stupid to understand any of the politics, but assuming it was legal to be open 24/7, what's stopping them from closing at 9 and on Sundays for profit reasons? That's how other businesses operate.
Their concern is that once 1 chain opens on Sundays they will have to follow suit. Effectively the law protects them from a moron competitor to the detriment of the consumer.

I think he's a piece of shit, belongs in jail, single handedly dog whistled people to come out and hate my people and my brothers and sisters we are marginalized for other reasons (all th isms and phobias), and threatened our way of life as a free people, so my disdain for him could not be stronger. but a blind squirrel can find an acorn and a stopped clock is right twice a day. so that's it. fact remains, he was the first president to deviate from the make China our friend and they will see the light foreign policy that probably dates back to Nixon's visit. a fundamentally disastrous policy in hindsight.
Trump was correct on China. However, as always, his and his team’s incompetence removes any credit for this. If we want to make any progress on China, it will take the US and Europe jointly working this and punishing China for their behavior. Trump decided to piss off the world before actually doing anything on China which removed any opportunity for real success.
The Trump tariffs on China which Biden has chosen to continue are mostly being borne through higher prices on US consumers and have likely cost American jobs on a net basis. Additionally, the American taxpayer went on the hook for billions in additional farm subsidies when American farmers cried about the retaliatory Chinese tariffs. It’s a dumbass policy straight out of the 1700s.

Would that Ewers was that guy. I just don't think he is and that actually may be one of the problems with this team.
As I keep saying, I think this team is a little bit mindfucked still and I think a fiery leader (who himself is not mindfucked) might have helped us move past that.
I’m really interested to see how Ewers responds. After his first year at UT, I never would have guessed that he would get his body in shape for the past season. He clearly put in a lot of work last offseason. Maybe he can lead the team into putting in that kind of effort?

2023 was a great season. Time for the coaches to grind in the portal and address some needs. The team needs to put in the work during the off-season and continue to improve. 2 fumbles and drive-killing offensive penalties were the difference last night against a great offense.
Quinn needs to take a page from the greatest:
”Whoever wants to beat Michigan in 2024, offseason workouts start…”

Still can’t believe Washington didn’t take a knee on that third down.

Why didn’t the Republicans when they controlled all 3 branches in 2016-2018?
Abbott is absolutely wasting Texas taxpayer money for trying to score political points for his team. Additionally, with his provision of free transportation has actually encouraged more migration.
