  1. I'm not getting at a political reference (they're obviously intertwined), I'm talking about the idea that long term rates can be shrugged off. They index most of the industry.
  2. Arch is probably going to make some absurd plays and head scratching mistakes in pursuit of a few more. I'm excited to see what the offense looks like with a credible vertical threat. But really next season's result is directly correlated to how well we shore up the interior lines in the wake of major talent/experience departures on both sides of the ball. The next seven months are going to be lots of circular discussion that ultimately lands there.
  3. This is a hell of a take in the... *checks notes* Real estate thread.
  4. He referred to Biden as the President. Trump is another cuck that admits Biden won in 2020.
  5. Y'all are getting sucked in by the political futureman and that's on you at this point.
  6. What the Texags did I just read?
  7. I'm glad the Walmart family doesn't care about college football.
  8. Going beyond any value judgment on the larger policy, the idea that POTUS can simply hand wave away appropriations passed through the legislative process and already awarded to various projects around the country is obviously very bad on just a basic, functioning society level. Welcome to the clown show boys.
  9. And Michigan State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech off the top of my head. That post is a bit of a stretch lol.
  10. Eh. We're their opener too. He and Knowles have played one another several times so I don't know that either team will be catching the other fully off guard, but of course there's no tendencies with a new team and QB. Ohio State will no doubt be loaded but we'll also be the more experienced team (though breaking in new talent at critical positions too). Neither outcome would surprise me but I'm certainly not willing to concede it as a L. The fun thing about the expanded playoff is that you can just enjoy a competitive early season nonconference game for what it is and not worry that your chances for a championship have tanked before you play a down of football in conference.
  11. Just because aggy has never been in this position doesn't mean they wouldn't be worse.
  12. So is Penn State +1500 or is it a multiplier where they're +562500?
  13. There's a reason "tech bro discovers" is a meme.
  14. Collin Klein lost KSU that game last year much more so than anything Will Howard did. Howard torched us and the vast majority of it came over 2.5 quarters once Klein thought "gee maybe I shouldn't run right at Sweat and Murphy." Klein calls a competent game from the start and KSU dog walks Texas at home. Perhaps the worst opposing coordinator performance I've ever seen against Texas. I'm thrilled he's in College Station.
  15. Joe Biden was the right man for the moment in 2020 and was on track to easily be the best president of my lifetime for the first half of his term. He may still be at least domestically, we're going to have to see what the Republicans do to his platform over the next couple of years and what the long term impact of the surviving pieces is (I think a surprising amount of the IRA is going to remain intact). Things pretty clearly came off the rails in 2023 though, and between that and his age he was absolutely the wrong man for the moment in 2024. His handling of the war in Gaza and lack of coherent immigration policy that ultimately led to a capitulation to Trumpist policy, both of which came to a head in the final year and change, is a stain on his legacy and on our country. Do I think Democrats would have won if he stepped aside earlier? I honestly don't know. Post-COVID inflation has taken out an impressive volume of political incumbents. But had he announced his intention to step aside after a strong showing in the midterms the entire race would, or at least could have been reframed in a way Harris just never had a chance to accomplish given the hand she was dealt. The combo of his age and the stresses of the presidency has obviously been rough on him. Hearing him speak now vs the 2020 election, the difference is stark. I wish him a happy and healthy retirement surrounded by family, but I fear we're going to be wondering what could have been for a long time.
  16. That's a bit. Has to be. The English is way too good.
  17. They'd still have to score.
  18. I've held the opinion that Detroit would be a good place for Quinn Ewers to land. Good team and staff, sit behind Goff a couple of years as he plays out his contract, step into a chance to compete for the job on an offense with guys like Gibbs, Williams, and Sewell in their prime when they don't want to pay Goff anymore. Goff may get run out of town if they let Washington score 50 because of turnovers though. Also think the LA Rams would be a good landing spot in that same vein. Learn under Stafford and McVay and hit the weights for a couple years.
  19. Uh, social spending, including significant cash payments to the poor and pensioners. That and being on the receiving end of the nearshoring trend after COVID turbofucked supply chains.
  20. You're telling me we could have just traded for a QB the whole time?
  21. We have a third quarter with Arch against MSU where we fumbled on the first play we ran; Arch botching a 4th and short throw (to be fair I didn't love the play call, he was asked to make a very Ewers-esque throw in terms of touch and ball placement); MSU getting inside the Texas 40 down 14-6 before a penalty killed their drive; at least two OL procedural penalties; and Texas taking three plays to score on the worst defense they played all year from 1st and goal at the 1. We also went long stretches without scoring on UTSA or ULM in the third quarter with Arch at QB. I'm not going to scrutinize those too much because they're scrimmages, but they're another data point that inserting Arch does not magically fix the third quarter.
  22. To me the NFL is a much better gig at this point but I suppose that's personal preference. I actually don't think Sark would be a particularly good NFL HC. Much of his success here has simply been an effect of the roster he's built; which of course he gets a ton of credit for as a college coach, but it would not work like that in the NFL. His track record in games where the other side has something approaching a similar talent level isn't great and he was a mediocre NFL OC. I'm not real worried about him leaving because he seems like a pretty self aware guy and probably knows that. And he's put so much into Texas and is now so close, with Arch fucking Manning about to take the keys, I have a hard time seeing him walk away from that. Especially to work for NFL aggy lol.
  23. In terms of natural, pure pass rush traits, honestly no in my opinion. Simmons is just unreal in that regard.
  24. Ngl I'd be a little sad if we lost that meme and someone actually wanted him as a FBS football player at this point.
  25. We definitely can't stop before we address the logical end point: Is it better to hand the program to an autistic billionaire or a billion autists?
