  1. is it just me or is it a bit insulting at this point for some of these questions that keep getting asked. It seems like there's some type of entitlement from the press pool to not do their fucking jobs and ask questions that are not offensive and focused on the actual work the Fed does. I think Powell did a great job staying focused and his guidance was deliberate and narrow so that people don't over react. There wasn't much to read into from his remarks today and he expanded on them very well.
  2. lol okay dude.
  3. Recruting hasn't changed for the people who get excited nationally about players. There's a lot of things that are going on that make recruiting harder to follow, and a lot of that has to do with the way this staff operates. They are in a position where they offer late and only the people that actually want to be here are coming to OV and unofficials etc. With NIL it's also a lot more muted on weird purely emotional decisions, there's too much at stake for these guys to fuck around and go to some dumbass coach who smooth talks them.
  4. It is unconditionally true that people would have been pissed if Quinn went as late as he did coming out after last year. It is also unconditionally true that he came back in 2024 and 1) did not win a conference championship and 2) did not advance to the NCG/Win the NCG When you combine those things and we don't have the 2025 results yet (what if Arch actually does suck? and Texas misses the playoffs and goes 8-4?) we are left with Quinn's final impression being worse in almost every way than if he just left in 2024.
  5. I appreciate the ease of conflating "well LHF is just doing all the stuff now" with what I said, so I appreciate the clarification that these are still completely functionally different. What I meant by my statement wasn't that they were functionally the same - which I specifically clarified and said they serve different purposes etc. I was saying that the fundraising mechanism is now same same. There isn't 2 fundraising efforts running in parallel. LHF asks for money, some of it goes into the traditional bucket and some of it goes into the NIL bucket. The tight coupling of TOF to the AD and it's "business" arm, also allows for really seamless, nice and well organized corporate involvement. Lets say a corp wants to do a deal with Texas, but they also have ideas that involve using some of the student athletes in promotional materials, events or spokesperson. The university can now one stop shop that and fulfill those obligations with TOF and LHF at the same time albeit on different "paper".
  6. Until I improve surlyx to replace it yeah.
  7. This year. Also notice the not tax deductible language and there still being a tax deductible option? They are still separate entities serving separate purposes, but the management has moved under the same umbrella. There's a lot of reasons for it, but a big one is in the new post settlement NIL world collectives fulfill a different need.
  8. LHF and TOF are same same.
  9. Agent is a reflection if the client yadda yadda.
  10. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=NBA+ratings+year+over+year
  11. This is correct, this got the people who wanted off Twitter off and now it was just kinda shitty. I'm working on a permanent fix that just works, but is light weight and high performance.
  12. I think this deserves its own thread for discussion for now and going into the future as I think this is the beginning of a trend. https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/news/texas-athletics-totaled-331-9-million-in-revenue-in-fy-2024-thanks-to-the-most-profitable-football-program-in-the-sec/ Beyond the title, which is not inflated or bullshit. Texas Football by itself was responsible for over 204M in revenue and the next closest SEC school was sub 150M. Football by itself operated with a 139M surplus. Absolutely fucking staggering numbers.
  13. In tired of your schtick. It's wearing thin and it's not funny or additive. You are agitating people in a non productive way constantly.
  14. Shut up holy fuck. They aren't even fucking close to nuking each other yet. We haven't even gotten into anything beyond metaphorical jabs.
  15. The off season sucks, especially now with how tight everything is locked down, but let's at least try to keep it on topic please.
  16. Your cousin sounds like a beta cuck soy boy. /sarcasm
  17. Because they don't wanna add 2 more teams and dilute the payout from TV. The next TV contract for the NBA is gonna be a fucking trainwreck disaster. The ratings are ass.
  18. Quinn should fire his entire "team"
  19. Its impressive how stupid people are about things. Even if they took all the billionaires money (impossible) it would barely pay for a single year of the debt service on the national debt. For those who forgot how go count a trillion is 1000 billion. Tax receipts have risen from 3T to 4.7T in a decade with the majority of that coming post covid stimulus with the wage increases that went out during that time. The US Government is running on a pretty hefty deficit and on track to spend 6.75T this year. Fed balance sheet during same period. The problem is not one wants to face the reality of covid. The fed chart is actually so fucking absurd it's hard to believe its reality and thats the fantasy world everyone lives in. 4T poofed into existence out of thin air. Everything is fucked up and broken right now and the only reason everyone isn't feeling it is because of the insane debt apparatus here in the US. One day those debts need to be repaid, you can't continually go further and further into debt as a person, a business or a country.
  20. I was only half kidding with my comment earlier. These look interesting, but I wonder about the cost economics. 30k for 250 gallons a day and let's call it 1KWh per gallon in electricity to produce (per tech spec sheet @ 240Wh/liter) avg electric cost in Texas is $.15 per KWh that's $37.50 a day in electricity for 250 gallons of water. So if you had a family of 4 and used 3,000 gallons of water a month it would cost nearly $450/mo in electricity plus the amortized cost of the unit, let's say they gave you a 12% loan for 15 years (co term with warranty period) that's $360/mo So for $900/mo you could have less water than a normal family of 4 is budgeted to use daily. I must be missing something, because 1k/mo buys a fuckton of water from a truck + a tank to put it in.
  21. Seems to have worked out fine for Ukraine
  22. If you can convince them to give me one for free in exchange for advertising on surly I'll let everyone know how good it is or isn't.
