  1. That valuation obviously includes the celebrity status of the owners and the TV show. If they sold the team and were no longer personally promoting the team how much the value would fall!?
  2. Consumer spending outpaced gov't purchases in today's GDP report by 3.2 percentage points - that's the best number since Q2 '22, which was also the last time gov't purchases declined is that bad?
  3. 💯 Butler gets three free throws and Alpi gets nothing on the end of game possessions. Stars get the better treatment in the playoffs and sadly it matters.
  4. Commercials. dropped my Youtube viewing by at least 50%. They can fuck off with their premium subscription. Going to be some hard times for some streamers who quit their jobs
  5. I don't disagree, but they shouldn't have any questions when they realize the popularity of College basketball has now peaked. The tournament is a separate entity, but the loyalty of the alumni will continue to decline for the regular season. Same for the NBA but for different reasons. When college sports further detaches from the Universities the interest will follow. No minor sports leagues ever make it (I think the newest pro football league is also in trouble) because the interest is not there. College Sports (basically minor league) have a built in loyal fan base that drove ratings and huge TV contracts. Personally, I only watch TX and the tourney now when I grew up loving all college basketball and watching many teams etc to follow the great players and their development. This built in fan base is also a big reason that woman's college basketball has higher ratings than the WNBA, the college affiliation etc. I'd still watch Texas sports even if it was pure amateurism with some scrubs (assuming competition does likewise)
  6. I’ve tried these and the cheesesteak ones. Both a bit underwhelming
  7. Regardless of playoff performance it is a VERY attractive contract for a 22 year old with his upside.
  8. Jabari needs to start over Brooks in game 5; Ime not adjusting at the half saw the starters get worked in both the first and third quarters. Some of this is on the coach
  9. Don’t think D Mitchell is going anywhere (he was the perfect fit IMO). Any chance Indy deals Hailliburton?
  10. Giannis and Alpi would be an odd parrIng. Im afraid Alpi goes if Giannis comes in
  11. HDMI cables can go bad. IF the input and wires correct but no picture, make sure the picture output isn't on something like 480p etc.
  12. Good luck out there SB. ‘Not acceptable.' Not a single home building permit finalized in Altadena following Eaton Fire It’s been three months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires scorched Southern California towns. Zero building permit finalized in Altadena following Eaton Fire – NBC Los Angeles
  13. Sucks, hope he has a full recovery
  14. Their D has completely negated our offensive system. Amen has been neutered on the offensive end. Green can’t get to the rim, and Alpi is having to work too hard for everything.
  15. OKC closes out game 4 on 4/26 (same bight Rockets played game 3) and the Rockets won’t even play game 4 until tonight. Just more NBA bullshit
  16. As good as the picture looks on the 4k DVD the real winner is the sound track. ALL streamed movies compress the audio tracks (streaming service or purchase/apple/amazon). You get the extra 20% of sound from the discs. (And closer to 40% for the below 30Hz content) Had my eye on the Top Gun /Maverick double disc on Amazon
  17. Well the hitting coach should have been fired in the offseason, but at least start vetting replacements
  18. Fire the hitting coach today, because you can’t fire the players right now. Espada’s head next on the chopping block. Got to make a change.
  19. Tim Boyle and Skylar Thompson are not good enough to start for Texas in 2025.
  20. Tyler Huntley 5 games Skylar Thompson 3 games Tim Boyle 2 games Odds are high he plays a snap if he survives camp Chad Pennington played for 11 years and couldn’t throw the ball more than 35 yards
  21. Amen playing scared out there. Zero confidence
  22. Fuck the haters. Go prove em wrong Quinn. Family reaction shot was a gut punch. Great spot to land.
  23. Marantz + Sony works great. I am able to use the Sony TV remote for all devices. Input switching, volume, pause/play/jump etc. Apple TV, PS5. One simple remote not designed for toddler hands.
