Alabama at Mississippi - CBS 2:30
So B12 refs infiltrated to SEC. No harm in letting that play out.

That fumbled ball could have been advanced. What are the announcers talking about?

Shout out to single parents
Meh, throw 'em in a padded room with a bowl of Goldfish, Capri Suns and looping episodes of Cocomelon on the Ipad. Problem solved. Might want to throw in outlet covers just in case.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Good. Can someone buy Facebook, TikTok and SnapChat and do the same thing? Actually, TikTok and Snap will do. Zuckerberg is currently killing his own product without much help.

So most elected leaders and Hollywood actors in the last 40 years. This phenomenon is not relegated to ultra rich white men.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
This is true. He's great with some of the midrange creative plays and can drop the ball into some very difficult spots within 20-30 yards. Why Sark pulls him back from that wheelhouse in the second half is a mystery. I see a lot of freshman in him. He's not a veteran at the line game manager and Sark needs to adjust the calling accordingly.

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
Had a pretty good international flight on AA recently. Crew really friendly for the most part. Passengers behaved as well. Felt like a flight from 15 years ago.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Always happy when Texas wins but I’m really scratching my head that some of y’all like to deflect the piss poor second half offensive performance on penalties. And these were 5 yard penalties which this offensive talent should be able to overcome. There wasn’t a big discrepancy between the teams tonight and somehow K sate outplays Texas in the second half like many other teams in the last two seasons.

Texas Longhorns @ Kansas State Wildcats - 6pm on FS1
It’s not creative and it’s stubborn. It’s low percentage. Shredding half your playbook is turtle.

Texas Longhorns @ Kansas State Wildcats - 6pm on FS1
I saw running into a 9 man front with no audible or play call adjustment. I saw a pitch to the short side that looks like we notified the K state sideline with the playcall. I saw multiple 30 yard bombs two weeks ago with a qb that was struggling biggly. A step up gutsy stop by the D doesn’t remove the warts off the second half offense. Pull the sunshine out of your butt. This is a concerning pattern from last year.

Because they get boxed in by predictable second half turtled play calling.

D line steps up. Good things happen when you get to the QB. But this should have never gotten this close if Sark calls a better second half. Typical poor half time adjustments despite a monster game from BR.

Texas Longhorns @ Kansas State Wildcats - 6pm on FS1
When they pull Sark in to fire him, they need to play that last play call on a loop.

Texas Longhorns @ Kansas State Wildcats - 6pm on FS1
We need a field goal. Sark can’t turtle or Texas goes three and out. I may throw a glass through my TV if they call a 40 yard bomb to Worthy on this drive. And for all that is holy watch the onsides.

Mind bottling and completely predictable. Coaching against Sark in the second half is like playing chess against preK students.

Fall on the damn ball!

Could your eleven year old play LB? Does he mind losing some eligibility before middle school? Can he read a frickin gap? BC he could start right now on this defense.

Until the second half until Texas inexplicably makes no adjustments.

What level of violence would you inflict?
Prosecutor (handing me a paper): "Mr. Newdoc, You say you don't have a predilection for violence but I would like you to read this following post to the jury. It comes from a nefarious website called surlyhorns.com on a thread titled 'What level of violence would you inflict'."

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
And commercial rates are usually set based on Medicare rates and these have not kept up with inflation. The system is perverted to highly reimbursed elective procedures and these got put on hold during the pandemic. And there was no large honey pot the government gave hospital systems. It was all a forwarded loan. The patients and clinic filled with Covid patients put the high paid orthopedic and heart and neurosurgeons on the sidelines while hospitals paid traveling nurses and ICU docs 3 times their usual wages to have capacity to treat Covid patients. The hospital system budgets are still reeling from this situation. The government and regulating bodies who set the relative rates for reimbursement got exposed during the pandemic. Ever since the inception of Medicare, doctors and hospitals get paid for mostly elective procedural, non intensive procedures because the body that sets the reimbursement rates and hospital payments is made up of specialists with almost no primary (think wellness) care representation. So, if you really want to control the rise in healthcare prices, then you need to set up more competition in the marketplace instead of this quasi fixed price dance between the government, insurance companies and every Dick and Jane (medical device, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) that wants a piece of the healthcare pie. And you really may want to insist on healthcare instead of this sick care fiasco we have firmly entrenched.

Supply side is already suffering. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It seems some people on here don't remember the gas crisis with price controls 40+ years ago. So we need to do it with energy and health care?

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Most of the hospital systems in the US are not for profit (although that can be tongue in cheek) while Texas has somewhere just north of 50% for profit but that does mean a significant number of them are not owned by "shareholders". Many have operated at a serious loss in the last couple of years. So, yes, operating budgets and personnel are being frozen or cut and patient services are hampered and the care you get will suffer or be delayed. Inflationary pressures without flexibility to change income is a major cause. This is reality and not some jaded tribal viewpoint.

It’s all going to get insane. Hospital systems are taking it in the shorts and they are waiting for current contracts to come up for negotiation. And Medicare will have to increase reimbursement or multiple hospitals will fail and close.

I wonder about the situational awareness people have that they find themselves caught in these situations and it’s too late to get out.
