    See this is a symptom of the structural problem: we used low rates to paper over:
    1) Regulatory restraints on the market, especially at the local level
    2) Increased materials scarcity
    3) Labor supply issues 
    4) Poor product-demand match at the population level

    and other stuff

    Like any dysfunctional complex, it became entrenched because we enabled it, because dealing with the problems underneath was too hard. Now not dealing with it is too hard. It's not fun for anybody. 

    Nailed it

    This is dumb as fuck. If you want to curb housing price growth rates, build units at the rate the population grows. Cutting interests rates would massively inflate home prices as dry powder sitting on the sidelines rushes in to buy at low interest rates.

  3. I'll stop making fun of Bill Ackman for being a clown when he gives me the return I ought to have gotten for PSTH merging with Stripe to take them public instead of his regarded attempt to buy a stake in UMG that blew up in his face.

    Malikmas and que paso Lampkin year...

    Señor Lampkin was truly the peak of recruiting nonsense. There are things so much more insane in terms of crime and shenanigans, but nothing quite as through the looking glass as failing school to get out of UT and to go to OU

    I was out pushing my kid on the bike listening to the press conference and Quinn sounded like he said play cards ? Instead of play calls. 

    Got me thinking, the ultimate no-tell offensive play calling would be a deck of plays and just turn them over and ignore down and distance and momentum and everything. Sounds like something mensa would do lol I'd probably be a bad play caller. 

    You don’t want a no tell offense though. The whole point of an offensive game plan is to exploit defensive tendencies and part of that is showing plays that set up the big play because they were overreacting to the ones before it that lead them to either being trapped without the personnel to handle what you want to do or reading the wrong information from your alignment

    Settle down bro. We’ve seen Sark do the same exact thing.

     

    Hopefully this is Sark turning the corner.

    How many of those times were players being coached to do the right things, running into the right position to do things as they were coached and then dropping the easy catch though? Some of it was bad adjustment but most of the time I felt like he got it right even last year when we blew leads

    So let me get this straight.

    Mom has been in education and supposedly her son graduating and being taken care of and developed is important.  Soooooo they pick aggy….

    -Jimbo’s team is full of cancers.  How many kids were kicked off the team?  I’m sure the players have their bibles on in the locker room while they smoke weed before games.  Legit… they had players smoking before games in the locker room.

    -  they don’t go to class

    -  coaches are racist and assholes

    -  team went 5-7 last year

    -  their DL coach that was responsible for developing their players died (rip).

     

    yeah… makes a lot of sense.  This why I don’t take recruiting seriously anymore.  Very likely Dom will have a new DL coach and new head coach in 2 years there.   Very likely he will be surrounded by mercenaries that don’t go to class.  
     

    also… I really like IT.  I think they have solid info.  I also they pump out non stop kool aid likely coming from the staff that is always optimistic on recruits.  They have been very wrong a lot the last 2 years.

    I feel like this has been said a thousand times. What a recruit says when they mean education and what we think of when we think of education are two very different things. Their focus is on academic support staff and ability to get pushed through the program and wind up with a degree.
     

    As much as UT will provide support, UT CS isn’t something you get pushed through or even into all too easily (though I’m sure for a 5* athlete they could look the other way on a couple hundred SAT points). The level of rigor compared to an A&M or LSU or OSU type CS program is night and day.
     

    There’s a reason you don’t see the athletes mentioning education go in droves to Georgia Tech and wind up at schools like LSU or A&M. Neither are terrible schools by any means but they’re not what anyone would call great institutions of higher learning outside of their respective states.
