    I am going to ride or die with Sark for a few more years. We need to give someone a chance to get the rot out. I have been skeptical even before this streak, but I am all in now.

    I hear you. This is definitely a logical way to approach the situation. HOWEVER; we said the same thing about Charlie Strong and his almighty "Purge" after his first season. We said the same shit about taking a few years to get the rot out, but we all know how that turned out.

    Also, I love this thread as I have been bitching about this for awhile. I sold a lot and 2 houses 5 years ago and have been renting for the last 4 years and will be buying most likely in the summer of 22. I live in an area in Tennessee that’s desirable right now and it’s making home prices regarded. I am not a 1% or anything but wife and I combined make around $180,000 a year and we have no debt and I feel like we cannot afford anything close to the house we want.  The neighborhood we live in had 1 2 bedroom house that recently sold for $260,000 which is ridiculous to me. All we are wanting is 2,000 sq ft and we willl be lucky to find something under $360,000 unless we want to live in the hood. I don’t see how everyone is affording this shit and maybe I am just tight with money but that just doesn’t appear affordable to me. 

    Edit: Damn, gmr548 beat me to the punch by about 30 seconds, but I'll still leave mine up anyway. 

     

    This post is confusing to me. Maybe you're just being sarcastic, in which case you can just ignore the rest of this post. But with $180k combined income and no other debt, you can certainly afford a $360,000 house. Just doing some quick, back of napkin math: let's say you put 5% down ($18k), and you do a 30-year mortgage with a 3.1% rate; your payment would be roughly $1,800/month (Plus or minus a few bucks depending on your exact insurance, taxes, etc.) I'm not sure what part of Tennessee you live in, but based on what I'm seeing in my area right now (Spring Hill, TN just south of Nashville), you are more than likely paying more than $1,800/month in rent right now. Also, based on what I'm seeing in my area, you're not going to like what you see if you wait until Summer 22 to buy something.

  3. I'm not overly picky, but any of the options with the skyline included should be thrown in the trash immediately. The skyline and the school have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

    Arkansas (2 drives, 2 TDs) *scores on 2-2 drives*

    Tech (9 drives, 8 TDs) *scores on 8-9 drives*

    Really he threw two meaningless picks, but it's a pick for every 11 TDs or every 12 scores. 

    Is this good? This seems good.

  5. Grew up in Nashville, TN as a diehard Vols fan. In the fall of 2005 (my senior year in high school), I took recruiting trips to 5 schools for swimming (Tennesse, Florida, Auburn, Michigan, and Texas). The minute I stepped onto the 40 acres for my (real)UT visit, I was absolutely hooked (pun intended). We played Tech that weekend, and VY put on an absolute show. I had obviously already heard the buzz about VY, but seeing him play in person that day was mind blowing. I signed with Texas a few weeks later and never put on that ugly orange ever again. Got to attend UT during the 4 Colt McCoy years which obviously didn't suck.

    Goddamn it I hate this morning.  We are such a punchline right now.  I'm going to be fired before the end of the day because I'm going to kill my Arky coworker if he comes in my office 1 more fucking time.

    Do it. I'm sure we could pool our resources on here and get you a new job.

    My memory sucks, but didn't Casey Thompson hang sixty on Colorado last year. With him starting, we're going to be okay. He will start next week, and we're gonna win. We had a bad night. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. His performance last night was off the charts, and if he can stay healthy, he's just going to get better. 

    Somebody needs to figure out what the fuck was wrong with the D last night. I suspect they will. It might just be a case of the Briles Curse.

    My biggest concern is this: if you’re right (which I hope you are) and Casey is that much better than Card, then that just means our new coach is another moron that’s too dumb to get the best players on the field. It’s a lose/lose.

    They're not in their final place.  You can see the outlines of where they will go.  Just like there won't be a tarp in the middle of the field, a random 5, 4, and 3, and the hashmarks won't actually look like an OU grad's teeth.

    What in the absolute fuck is up with those hash marks? That looks awful. Burn it all down.

    Just guessing. 
     

    I’d imagine the new indoor practice facility will include offices and meeting rooms as well as a locker room so that way the players won’t have to carry their gear to it. 

    Um, CDC literally said we're sticking with turf until the indoor facility is built.

    I almost never get sick. I haven’t had the flu since the 90’s and never had a vaccine. I’ve known for a long time to keep my hands washed and not to touch my face unless my hands were washed. I caught a cold twice in the past 10-15 years and I know for sure that the first time was because an irresponsible friend shook my hand and neither practiced proper hygiene nor warned me that he had a cold. (He hosted our semi-weekly poker game and got two of us sick that way so from that night on I made sure we always had a bottle of hand sanitizer on the table.)

    The last time I caught a cold I can only assume I touched a contaminated surface. I still carry a mask and will wear it if required. But I’m fully vaccinated. I still carry hand sanitizer and am even more conscious about keeping my hands clean than before. The last time I was at my sister’s place for Christmas, she, her daughter, her daughter’s boyfriend, and two of her sons all had colds. My mom was a nurse but she just couldn’t resist holding her grandsons on her lap. She got sick. I washed my hands religiously and when one of my nephews lied down on one of the pillows (from the shitty fold-out bed I was forced to sleep on) while we watched the Lord of the Rings movies, that pillow got banned. I was in a house full of coughing and sniffling sick people but I didn’t get sick. Keeping your distance and keeping your hands clean is your best defense.

    But of course everyone should get vaccinated. You’re an idiot if you don’t so don’t mistake the point of my post. I’m just wanting to point out how important it is to always keep your hands clean even before Covid. 

    Why have you chosen to never get the flu vaccine? I'm not attacking you for not getting it, I'm just curious.
