  1. I don't know why people were assuming this injury could just be brushed off. The guy couldn't run and couldn't throw at all in the second half last Saturday. He's dealt with several injuries and never been a guy that has those freakish fast recoveries. One week is just a really quick turnaround for a sprained ankle, especially when you go out there and keep playing on it for two+ quarters after it happens (good call Sark jfc). I feel bad for him, he'd been playing better in November and I think the way he was playing would have been enough to feel very good about the A&M matchup. Not so much if he's anywhere near as limited as he was last week. If Sark trots out an injured Ewers - and it seems like that's the plan - Texas will be very easy to defend and lose the game.
  2. It's not that much harder. You'll probably pay a rate premium, all things equal, and for conventional/FHA the HOA needs to meet some financial requirements (ones you should be looking at in your own DD anyway). I don't think that's been a back and forth with presidential administrations thing, more a GSE's managing risk thing. Don't forget easing of the rental supply wave removing downward pressure on rents. Sale prices can stay static and if rents start growing again the math looks different.
  3. He almost certainly will. The question is "big for which team?" Thus is the essence of the Silas Bolden ExperienceTM
  4. This thread is offseason level.
  5. The math on jumping from renting to buying in Austin is just really tough right now. Rents are down quite a bit too. You almost have to justify buying for lifestyle and/or long game reasons. Fair or not, people don't really view condos like that. When you can rent a comparable apartment for cheaper, buying a condo doesn't feel very attractive. With a house, at least you're paying more for a SFH. Also millennials/Gen Z are a lot less amenable to HOA bullshit. However I will say I have seen a similar trend of seemingly attractive condo product lingering on the market at pretty good prices in our market (Seattle metro). Can get an entry level unit that's at least decent on both sides of the location/unit quality scale as low as the mid 300s. Wasn't really on my radar but if this trend continues into Q2 when we start looking for a more permanent arrangement that could be intriguing.
  6. The major, broad tariffs on Mexico and Canada in the face of his own treaty is so phenomenally stupid and harmful to the American economy that I have to think the Trump team, rest of the GOP, donors, etc. get him to never implement it. The supposed justification is another migrant caravan bit, they probably just make up another story and say it dissolved in fear of gigachad Trump border control or something.
  7. This is unintentionally hilarious. Just... chef's kiss
  8. Look on the bright side. Through energy policy, this new administration will move the date by which you can grow avocados locally in Western WA up by a significant margin.
  9. Be that is it may, there is absolutely nothing that hypes up lilly white frat boys from the exurbs of DFW and Houston quite the same way.
  10. Infuriating, but not a bug. A feature.
  11. He was a S&C project coming in and ended up dropping a bunch of weight to play in the 6 OL package last year. He's not on the two deep this year. Even with Texas replacing 3-5 OL next season I don't see a clear path to starting for him and wouldn't be surprised if he transfers, but if he stays there's at least a path for him to be on the two deep.
  12. Most analytics would have it at 7-10 when adjusting for home field. Add in the shiny rivalry factor and the Ewers injury and that isn't surprising at all.
  13. Ironically, very texaggy post
  14. Care to expand? I'm in affordable housing by trade; not familiar with him and not really sure what to make of it. I figure time spent working with a large multifamily builder might signal some understanding of the development process and willingness to take action at HUD to encourage streamlining of development processes around the country, which would legitimately be welcomed. Of course, he has two years with a fluffy, bullshit, do-nothing title so that could also just take the shape of handouts to large developers and lack of enforcement on bad actor Section 8 landlords and the like. And the rest of his resume - TX House member, other bullshit "chief vision officer" type jobs tells me it's just a place to stick someone whose political profile they want to raise, which is unfortunately what HUD has been for a while.
  15. I just don't see how you can pick this one without knowing the unknowable - what's the Quinn Ewers ankle injury going to look like? The guy couldn't move or throw the ball in the second half on Saturday. If he's anywhere near that impacted this week it's gonna be a bad time. If he can tape it up, take some ibuprofen, and be more or less fine then I actually like the matchup for the most part.
  16. Hm. I've been feeling the same but if Ketch and Looch agree then clearly I'm missing something and Hill does not actually deserve consideration.
  17. It's giving no name ISU OL that called out Sweat/Murphy
  18. He is perhaps quicker/shiftier but not faster than Taylan Green and he is no more elusive in a phone booth than Pavia. I'm not saying this to denigrate him. He's played well for a freshman. I think A&M hit on him and he'll be a good QB for them the next three years. We're not talking about the second coming of Michael Vick though, and again I don't think he's bringing anything the defense hasn't shown to be capable of handling. Which, by the way, props to PK, Nansen, and staff on that. Mobile QBs have been a pin in the ass for Texas for the past few years and they clearly worked to address that.
  19. Lmao what no it still is. Even if you have the tin foil hat on and think it's Arch from here on, Arch could use the reps and you're never more than one play from having to go back to Ewers, so you don't exactly want him out there at higher risk of further injury.
  20. We talkin' 'bout CyFair.
  21. Unless, you know, he gets the ever-loving fuck knocked out of him on a missed block or something because because he has the mobility of a drunken, overweight 50 year old in the stands and, say, breaks some ribs. There was just no upside to leaving him in and it was coaching malpractice.
  22. Klien was arguably the MVP of the K State game for Texas last year. Without him calling that game there's a real chance Texas doesn't go to the CFP. I don't see anything to worry about there.
  23. Probably top 3-4 but that's more about Texas having played some hilariously bad QBs. I don't think he presents anything the defense hasn't seen between Van Buren, Hawkins, Beck, Pavia, or Green.
  24. Not going to happen. We're 11 games in. The team is what it is, for better and worse. That goes for both sides. This game will go as Ewers, the Texas OL, and the Texas LBs go. I don't think there's much A&M can do if Texas plays well and I don't think there's much Texas can do if Ewers is still gimpy and Sark leaves him out there.
