  1. Well played Jatavion. Iowa State players do a lot of that.
  2. You can fire me for $75M in whatever manner you choose. I'm open to pretty much everything.
  3. They better have a plan because their recruiting class and roster is about to get picked over.
  4. This is certainly an infuriating team to watch, but the bottom line is that we're going to improve our record from last year by at least two games. Last year, we improved by three games. The positive trajectory is there, continuity has been huge for us, and while its not perfect, we're 9-1.
  5. What better way to ride off into the sunset with tens of millions of dollars in guaranteed money from Texas A&M?
  6. That's the thing with Trump - how much of it is dementia, and how much of it is him a being fucking moron? The man has the intellectual range of a teaspoon.
  7. You could accuse Charlie of a lot of things, but being a good program builder was never one of them lol
  8. Should Sark hire someone to call plays and still consult a bunch with the offense and maybe coach QBs? He's been a really fantastic program builder even though his value was initially thought to be as a playcaller. I wonder whether he's stretching himself too thin at times and not being as effective as he could be on game day with the offense.
  9. Never met Emmanuel, but per several people who played with both, Sam was universally beloved and you liked or hated Emmanuel. In retrospect, that seems pretty accurate. He was a solid to good player here who overachieved his recruiting ranking and has built an incredible brand despite being a relative no name in college and the pros.

    London

    Its usually at a pub called the Swan, which is a really great venue. For bigger games like OU, they go to a larger space (can't reember the name of the bar this year - I've tried to block out that whole night). Tonight its at Passyunk Nine Elms. If you're local to London, there's a WhatsApp group that is pretty active with events and meetups.

    London

    Just popping in this thread to say that if any of ya'll are around here during football season, the Texas Exes watch parties are pretty fun and worth stopping by. There's a very solid group of UT alums in London.
  12. One of the more infuriating parts to the conservative reactions to these mass shootings is "we don't want to politicize this tragedy", which is utter malarky of the highest order. The truth of the situation is that these deaths are acceptable to them. The gun violence, school shootings, etc. represent an acceptable level of death so that they can keep their assault weapons. So spare us the thoughts and prayers - you've crunched the numbers of this and decided that you're OK with an Uvalde every now and then. Republicans do a lot of disingenuous gaslighting, but their stance on guns is maybe the worst. If they spent an ounce of the time they waste on keeping certain books out of schools, we'd cut gun violence in half.
  13. The fact that all the $9.95ers are totally silent as to the reason is pretty telling that this was severe, IMO
  14. Good grief. Some hard-hitting journalism right here
  15. Not really. Our tax code is complicated because we administer an income tax system with graduated rates. What is and isn't "income" and when you should be taxed on it isn't straightforward at all. People often say they want a flat tax on all consumption items, but the issue there is that poor and middle income folks get screwed because they spend a larger portion of their income and don't save as much. The more "fair" you make the tax code, the more complicated it becomes as a result. Congress of course doesn't help matters by passing absurd laws that are broad and then relying on an understaffed IRS to fill in the blanks. The loopholes Congress writes in for lobbying interests - and there are many - are also awful.
  16. The IRS could do your taxes for you and then send you a completed return for you to sign off on or supplement as you think is necessary. For the vast majority of Americans, they have all of your info - when you get a W-2, 1099, etc., the issuer has to send a copy to the IRS as well. This has been proposed many times, only to be shut down by Intuit lobby.

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    In addition to being incompetent and biased, they also trample all over the game. The difference in the game tempo between them and the SEC refs last week was night and day. It seems like they insert themselves at every opportunity and several times blew the whistle for no discernable reason.
  18. I'd forgotten how many good players were on that team with KD. Man we underachieved.
  19. Apparently she recently became a grandmother as well?
  20. The Surly legal eagles can put me in my place here, but I think it doesn't matter what the legal argument is. If you're entitled to sovereign immunity on an issue, the other party has zero recourse. Meaning, they could fire Jimbo for looking at the AD wrong on a Tuesday and call that "cause" and there's nothing he could do about it, even if it goes against his contract. They'd never do that as a practical matter, but I think they technically could.
  21. Can't A&M fire him for cause and he has no recourse because A&M would be entitled to sovereign immunity? Not saying that they would ever do that (no reputable coach would ever agree to work for them again if there wasn't any substance to the for-cause firing), but isn't that the roadblock Leach and Beard encountered?
  22. I can't remember us targeting Xavier much in the second half. It may be that Bama was shading coverage his way, but Mitchell and Sanders played much bigger roles.
  23. Related question I'd appreciate some guidance on. I'm in the UK for several months and am finding its basically impossible to stream ESPN from here. Any tips? Have strugged getting Hulu to work with a VPN.
  24. WWJDD - What Would Jesus Do in Deposition
  25. Are we getting the dean of the UT law school to weigh in on our NIL contracts? Lol awesome.
