  1. Apparently she recently became a grandmother as well?
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Are we getting the dean of the UT law school to weigh in on our NIL contracts? Lol awesome.
  7. State bar associations are a joke. They exist only to colect fees, harrass law studens over minor shit, and then immediately turn a blind eye to everything except stealing from IOLTA accounts the minute you're admitted to the bar.
  8. You seem to be saying what these ships are doing is all impossible, violates physics, etc., but don't count out the Russians! And I don't care about the "less extreme" movements of UAPs. Sure, maybe China and Russia could do those. I'm talking about the extreme movements, speeds, transitioning between air and water, etc. that our military has observed and documented.
  9. The same Russia that is getting embarrased in Ukraine has made gamechanging advancements in flight and propullsion? I'm not buying that for a second. They're relevant militarily only because of their nuclear stockpile. And China has shown zero indication they've made any sort of technological leaps that would replicate what the tic tacs can do. The only three posibilities here in my mind are (i) US tech, (ii) a US disinformation campaign, or (iii) "aliens" (whatever that means).
  10. I find it very hard to believe that the US, China, Russia, etc. could build craft with the capabilities the tic tacs have shown without some of the tech revlations becoming public or disseminated in some fashion. For example, you don't just go from the Wright brothers to SpaceX. There were intermittent advances in propulsion, aircraft engines, etc. that were developed over the years that. These craft demonstrate decades and decades of tech advancement. If it was ours, why even release this stuff in the first place and come out looking weak because we can't stop them or say what they are? If we thought it was China/Russia, don't you think our course of action would be significantly more panicked? Our military has collectively shrugged. The only explanation I have for that posture is they know what it is and don't feel like its a threat. And there have been hundreds of these sightings by our military. The partial vidoes that have been released of the tic tac encounters (parts of the videos remain classified) are only a very small amount of the recorded evidence the military has on them per the military's own admissions.
  11. People are going to believe what they want to believe. You have some of the powerful and informed people in government (Harry Reid, Obama, Clinton) saying we have no idea what these ships are and we can't explain them. You have multiple whistle blowers who both ran inquiries into the subject for offices in the pentagon coming forward. Grusch filed a whistleblower complaint through the appropriate channels within the pentagon and the inspector who reviewed his case (and could review the confidential information in support of it) found his claims credible and urgent. He's testified for hours under oath in closed door committee meetings to congress, who is all of a sudden VERRYY interested in this. We have videos, radar sigantures, and all manner of evidence from our military. The military has openly admitted these things exist, we don't know what they are, we can't stop them in our airspace, and we don't think its Russia/China. If you want ride with Mick West and his tired schtick (which he has been doing for years) then so be it.
  12. Mick West is a fuckhead. The notion that Mick West knows more about what happened than the best pilots in our Navy - armed with the most advanced tech we have - and the radar operators on the aircraft carrier is insane.
  13. I'm at a firm similar to Winston and Strawn. Some of the tax partners are $2K/hr. and even senior associates are decently over $1K/hr. The $750/hr. folks were probably first years, as sad as that is to type.
  14. He defered on a lot of the juicy questions to closed door hearings, as its still classified.
  15. Mitch Mustain...that's a name I haven't heard in ages. I remember all the handwringing over Mustain and the other players from Springdale (a two WRs, TE, and OL) that year. None of them really amounted to much of anything aside from one the receivers who had a decent career at USC after transferring from Arkansas.
  16. I mean, I'm 100% cool if we did moneywhip them and no one else could match. Just win baby.
  17. Come the fuck on. People act like there's this long line of get people who've gotten rich giving interviews and publishing a book. How much do you actually think that pays?? He's 36 and has a long career in front of him had he not just torpoded it. He worked on the most classified projects we as a country possess. Do you really think a TV interview with a third rate news organization is more lucrative than transitioning to work as a contractor at Lockheed Martin? And the whistleblower program he's utilizing contains criminal penalties if he's found to be being deliberately untruthful. He's already given hours of classified testimony regarding these allegations to congress and was able to supplement those disclosures with confidential documents that haven't been declassified yet. Do you hear anyone in government disputing what he's saying? Grusch is also represented in his whistleblower complaint by Charles McCullough III who is the original inspector general of the Intelligence Community — this is a serious lawyer. The complaint was signed not only by McCullough, it was also signed by the managing partner of his firm — lawyers of this caliber would be unlikely to sign onto a complaint with these kinds of allegations in it if they did not do something to independently verify the claims, given that failing to do so would open them up to professional consequences. I totally understand people questioning Bob Lazar. I've seen nothing at this juncture to make me question David Grush.
  18. *Shrugs*. That's a theory I heard Lou Elizando mention on a podcast, fwiw. I think its getting hard to ignore that the US government is in the process of acknowledging that there are non-human vistors/ships visting us frequently. There are loads of crazies in the UFO community that give it a bad name. But the Leslie Keans and Lou Elizandos of the world keep delivering the goods, and the US government has openly admitted there are ships visiting our airspace that they can't explain what they are or how they're doing what they're doing. The technology demonstrated in the videos released by To the Stars Academny and the New York Times shows technology that would shift the global power paradigm if it fell into the wrong hands. America would lose its collective shit if Russia or China came out with a airplane that could do what the tic-tacs in the Go Fast video did. But our military has basically just shrugged our shoulders and said "yep, we don't know what it is". Look at the mad scramble to develop AI weapons or, decades ago, the quest for nuclear weapons. That's just not how we operate with game changing new tech unless we already know what it is. So maybe it comes from the heavens. Maybe it comes from our oceans. I have no idea. But if you can't see the gradual, controlled priming of the public going on, you aren't paying attention.
  19. *adjusts tin foil hat* Why does it have to come from outer space? I've heard interviews with Elizando where he hints pretty heavily that at least of the activity may be coming from our oceans. That jives with reports of these things going underwater and solves the interspace travel problem. We know more about the surface of the moon than we do whats underneath our oceans. And agree that with the poster who said we're in the middle of controlled disclosure. I have no idea if Grusch is legit or not, but he's saying some pretty bananas stuff (we have multiple classes of non-human ships, we recovered a UFO from Mussolini, these ships have killed members of our armed forces, we've shot down a few, etc.) and a number of government sources and members of congress are basically all backing him up. The whistleblower program he's taking advantage of has criminal penalities if its found he's being dilberately untruthful, he's being repped by the former inspector general of the intelligence community, and he's already given hours of testimony to congress. If the party line was still to tar and feather all people who utter the word "UFO", the feds would be taking a different posture on this IMO. This feels like its being done with the tacit approval of the powers that be. I think we'll look back on this in ten years as a massive event in human history.
  20. My first thought was omg we're screwed. My second thought was if 90% of white collar jobs are threatened within 10 years (which seems likely), there will be a political solution. My third thought was well, we're terrible at political solutions. So I'm right back at my first thought.
  21. Optically it looks horrible, but (having zero insight) I bet its just unfortunate timing. There's a really important deadline on March 15 for incentive compensation for tax purposes, so pretty much everyone has in their bonus plan that cash incentive compensation has to be paid out by March 15th of the year following the year in which it was earned.
  22. Credit risk isn't really a legal issue, so we're not advising on it. We're as much in the dark as anyone. But, wanted to say sorry for the situation you're in. Can only imagine the stress that you're being put under.
  23. I'm a lawyer at one of the big tech law firms (think Goodwin, Cooley, Fenwick WSGR). Have been getting calls all day from founders wanting to know if they can stick their SVB money in our client IOLTA trust account for safe keeping. Truly wild times.
  24. Interesting, thanks. So its all for show anyway. And would differ with your view on #2, at least outside the governmental employer setting.
