  1. Do you know of splitting USB C affects performance in a way? I also didn’t like that all ports...even holding a splitter were on one side of the machine.
  2. Was pumped to get the M1 pro even though it was 13”. Waited a week or so after it came to get ready to migrate my data...I have about 1.5 TB so I back up to drives A, B and C before I move over. Then I realize after reviewing the machine online again that it only has two USB C ports on one side of the machine. I use an external monitor at my office and the power connector...so that leaves me with zero ports left. I mailed it back unopened and have an intel driven 15” coming in...looks like I’ll grab it when it’s in the bigger machines...but damn I wanted that Apple silicon. On a positive note, the AirPods Max are pretty damn impressive.
  3. No, but I did call and wait almost two hours on hold (watched some football) and the customer service agent confirmed I was good and gave me my confirmation number. I didn’t screenshot it when I saw it and before I left the page...but I did get a message upon confirmation that emails could take up to 24 hours to get...so y’all should be good too. Their FAQ section says emails have been taking up to 48 hours and as long as you saw the confirmation screen you’re good.
  4. Scored a PS5 bundle on a GameStop drop today. 1/5 delivery. Complete luck...but oddly enough just like Best Buy earlier this week...I kept trying to go to checkout and it wouldn’t let me...so I selected the add-on GameStop year warranty for like $50 and it immediately let me add to cart. Go figure. This was 30 minutes after the post I saw...thought I was SOL trying that late. Glad this game has ended. Can’t wait to power up.
  5. Thanks for the post....I got some fresh ink already.
  6. I like the Vandy hire. Would be nice to see them competitive in football.
  7. Best Buy dropping both consoles tomorrow “sometime” after 8am CDT. https://corporate.bestbuy.com/more-gaming-consoles-3-day-sale-arrive-dec-15/
  8. My small play on VERU looking good.
  9. When eating chicken fried steak....go cream gravy on the steak and brown gravy on the mashed taters.
  10. And now what? Something tells me I would trust your friend.
  11. I thought my bud was just really good....that was real...
  12. Well, interesting posts...subscribed again.
  13. OB saying canceled so players can rest. Banged up from yesterday.
  14. Let’s let the plane land....Herman goes home....doesn’t sleep..CDC rings at 8am Sunday.
  15. “Sam is a card carrying warrior.” Get this sumbitch to Austin ASAP!
  16. Another classic. I always thought you were cool...but having Gruden at #1 just upped you to super cool.
  17. Still can’t believe Hut’s is no more on 6th.
  18. I’ve thought about this since the storm really hit hard this week. 1. No one in the inner circle. UM, wife, agent, Texas team would leak shit...and that Texas team is small. 2. Nothing would come out until Herman is out. This is the big reason for crickets. 3. I’m hoping like others UM not publicly stating he will not coach again is a positive. 4. It’s like a publicly traded company and info gets leaked before earnings...good or bad. This is a no no. And Texas, and UM are pros...it won’t happen until they are ready to say something one way or the other.
  19. Been having fun with a HTZ play. May need to fire up the winter Stonklympics after the holidays.
  20. If we don’t know by noon Friday...I have access to a McRib very close by. That will suffice for now,
  21. $9.95 Bruce Feldman 1. Urban MeyerFull disclosure: I work with the former Ohio State head coach at FOX on our “Big Noon Kickoff” show.Meyer is the elephant in the room when it comes to potentially huge coaching openings, and there could be one coming open this winter at Texas. Tom Herman is near the end of his fourth season at Texas, and the Longhorns are nowhere close to being a top-10 team. And despite a strong second season when they finished No. 9, it’s been very underwhelming.After last season, Herman fired most of his staff — many of whom he brought with him from Houston — but the results haven’t been much better. A loss last Friday at home to Iowa State dropped Herman to 7-7 in his last 14 games. The feeling is this program should be better than it is now, and recruiting is backsliding. It would take $15 million-plus to move on from Herman, not to mention the cost of parting with the coaching staff.People with knowledge of the matter say the UT brass is prepared to move on from Herman, but where they’d go next is the really intriguing part. Herman’s old boss, Meyer, is the wish candidate. He won national titles at Florida and at Ohio State and wasted little time getting them there. The 56-year-old does have health concerns, and those were a real factor in him walking away from a plum job in Columbus. Does he still want badly to be on the sidelines?Here’s my read on the situation: It’s really, really, really hard for coaches who walked away on top to stay away — especially someone as wildly competitive as Meyer is. In Texas, you have a big job in a conference that appears ripe for the taking. This certainly isn’t the meat grinder that is the SEC. There are some parallels to how watered down the Big Ten was back when Meyer first showed up in Columbus. Meyer also has a good window into what’s going on inside at Texas and the personnel there given his former defensive coordinator Chris Ash now runs the Longhorns defense. Texas has great resources and a hefty recruiting base that Meyer did well mining when he was at Ohio State.All that said, Meyer has taken to TV really well. He is extremely engaged in our show and very passionate about it — maybe as much as any analyst that I’ve worked with in TV. He genuinely cares about the show and takes great pride in the presence he has as a commentator on the sport, so I could definitely see him staying committed to that. I’ve worked with some former coaches who moved into TV and they essentially went through the motions, coasting on their name and personalities. That is definitely not Meyer or how he’s transitioned to it here.I don’t know this for certain, but I suspect there are moments when he’s tempted by the prospects of being back in it as a coach, striving toward building and running a powerhouse being wired for how all-consuming that is. And then there probably are other days when he’s very comfortable with his situation now.
