  1. Not sure if this is the best place, but...

    Son bought a house in April 2022.  Previous owner was elderly and had the over-65 property tax exemptions.  He noticed that his tax bill still included these exemptions.  It is not clear if he needs to get that corrected/changed for the 2022 tax year.  What needs to be done, if anything? 

    Or does this fall under the same category as the valuation?  Set early in the tax year and not changed until the following year?

    He didn't force the ball to shit. When a dude is wide ass open you throw him the football. This isn't daddy ball where the QB only throws to the coaches son.

    In my daddy ball experience, the QB is the coach's son.  Not that it matters...

    What's worse, Rush fans or Crossfit jerkoffs? 

     

     

    Vegan crossfit jerkoffs.  Most Rush fanatics will back off if you are not a fan.  Not true for crossfitters or vegans.

  3. Colin Hay (former frontman from Men at Work) is in that price range.  I have seen him 1x "for hire" at One World and another time at the Paramount.  Great talent.  Great storyteller.

    As others have implied, you're kinda fucked if you are expecting bargain guys to show up w/ a tier 1 PA.

    For what it’s worth, I was recently on a jury for the same charge and was told it was legally strangulation / impeding airways if you were to hold someone back by the shoulders and the victim feels their airway are impeded.  No idea what beard did or didn’t do here, but ya, it’s a really broad definition.  
     

    In my case the defended was holding the victim back against the wall  via shoulders for about 10 seconds.
    cops asked victim what happened and if they ever felt a shortness of breath.  Victim said yes without really knowing that it jumped the incident up from a  misdemeanor to felony   Once victim realized the consequences they later refused to testify  

     

    Absolute shit show.  Probably how this will turn out

    Similar to what I reported a couple days back.  What is considered "impeded airways" is very broad.  Perhaps this is yet another of the reasons we are not hearing much from any of the sides (LEO, DA, accuser, Beard, his attorneys, UT, etc.)

    Boulder's open space has created a lot of problems in Boulder, notably severely limiting affordable housing options.  The median house in Boulder is over $1.5 million.  I saw a post on reddit last week from a guy who makes $400k and can't afford a house he likes in Boulder.  Coach Prime, who certainly has plenty of money, has made comments about the cost of housing in Boulder. 

    In every instance I was looking for a new house in the Austin area, there has been a house I liked that I could not afford.  That's par for the course.  The house I could not afford was better than what I purchased.  Such is life in Austin, Boulder, etc.

  7. Friend of mine was on a jury for a DV case a while back.  The definition of strangulation was quite broad: restricting air flow or blood flow through the neck - or the apparent intent to do so.  When law enforcement officers (LEO) were questioned about previous examples warranting strangulation charges, he said he was amazed.  One example was something like: woman rushed man in a rage; man extended arms to grab shoulders to keep her at a distance; one hand slipped and touched her neck.  Strangulation charge.  There were other similar examples of what was clearly NOT strangulation, but the charges were still filed.  LEO will charge an let the legal system play out.

    Not sure if such an example was cited before.  For what it's worth..

    Update from Steve Robertson:

    “There is only so much I am willing to post due to the sensitive nature of all of this, but things are not good at this point. I am going to respect Coach and the family's privacy. I have learned some very disturbing details that I will not share at this point. Not everything needs to be printed no matter how bad people want to read it.

    I understand Coach has undergone some tests in Jackson and that the situation appears to be dire. Yes, this is a life threatening situation. There is only so much people are going to share due to privacy laws and good decency. I can tell you that it appears Coach needs a miracle. Yes, I have received some of the text messages that are making the rounds, but I am told Coach is still fighting.

    Pray, pray, pray!”

    It’s not hard to read between the lines here. Just fucking heartbreaking man.

    ETA: also could a mod edit my post title to include Robbie Faulk from Bulldog24/7

    Just want to indicate the tweet is from an insider.

    The use of "disturbing details" makes it seem a little more dire than a medical issue.

    EDIT: that said, there are rumors of coding multiple times.  I'd characterize that as disturbing.  Prayers for Leach and his family.

  9. According to https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/football/2022/12/11/this-year-our-staff-heisman-trophy-voters-agreed-on-the-same-player/69716486007/ (paywalled).

    Bohls: 1- Duggan, 2 - Robinson, 3 - Williams
    Golden: 1 - Duggan, 2 - Robinson, 3 - Stroud

    Still looking for FCB's ballot.

    EDIT: Spoiler'd a cut-paste of what is paywalled.  Somewhat banal, but it is Bohls and Golden.

    Spoiler

    The American-Statesman has two votes for the Heisman Trophy. Here's how columnists Kirk Bohls, a voter since 1979, and Cedric Golden, a voter since 2009, filled out their ballots — and why:

    Bohls: Max Duggan's drive, heroics earned my vote

    Max Duggan defines college football. Came from far away in Iowa and beat out more highly recruited players.

    Started for three seasons but was beaten out. Didn’t enter the transfer portal but instead stuck around with the goal of being the best backup. Never pouted and got a second chance because of injury to the starter. Overcame heart surgery. Took his team to a perfect regular season and just inches short of a Big 12 championship against an opponent he’d already beaten.

    Oh, and he’s a damn good quarterback.

    All of which are great reasons the TCU quarterback should have won the Heisman Trophy.

     

    Hell, he probably should be Time magazine's Person of the Year as well for making the Horned Frogs the first team from the state of Texas to reach the College Football Playoff. He even had the signature Heisman moment in the Big 12 title game when he took the Horned Frogs the length of the field, fought off exhaustion and put them on his back — and legs — before two goal-line carries by teammates fell short of the end zone for a tying touchdown.

     

    Can anyone top those heroics? Someday we’ll figure out why Sonny Dykes didn’t give Duggan the ball again on one of the last two plays.

    Sure, the narrative didn’t play out perfectly since Kansas State’s defense denied TCU, but that didn’t stop Dykes’ 12-1 team from breaking through and earning the first CFP spot for a Big 12 team other than Oklahoma and making history.

    He was also picked as the Big 12 offensive player of the year and was a unanimous first-team All-Big 12 selection. He ranks ninth in the nation in passing efficiency but tied for second among Power Five quarterbacks with 16 touchdown passes of at least 20 yards and three or more touchdowns in eight of his 12 starts. He added six rushing touchdowns and threw for 3,321 yards with just four interceptions.

    Duggan did all that and earned a trip to New York as one of four Heisman finalists, all of whom were quarterbacks. He was also named the winner of this year’s Davey O’Brien Award, given to the best quarterback in the nation.

    Bohls: Texas' Ewers, Washington's Penix bring contrasting styles, goals to Alamo Bowl matchup

    I felt Texas workhorse/stallion Bijan Robinson also was worthy of that trip, so I put him second on my Heisman ballot. He finished just ninth in the voting — way too low — but at least was recognized as the best running back in America by earning the Doak Walker Award. If it’s heart, you’re looking for, you need look no farther than Duggan and Robinson.

    Finally, I went with USC quarterback Caleb Williams, who almost willed the Trojans into the Final Four despite a painful hamstring injury, putting the favorite third on my ballot.

    Golden: Duggan should win comeback player of the year, too

    Max Duggan earned the Heisman Trophy.

    If college football had a Comeback Player of the Year Award, he should have won it too. The TCU quarterback nearly willed his team to a 13-0 season for the first time in its Big 12 history, and he would have accomplished the feat had Horned Frogs coach Sonny Dykes not forgotten to put the ball in the hands of his best player during crunch time of the Big 12 title game loss to Kansas State.

     

    Every Heisman winner must have a signature moment, from Desmond Howard’s punt return and iconic Heisman pose against Ohio State in 1991 to  Ricky Williams’ epic touchdown run against Texas A&M in 1998 to Reggie Bush’s jaw-breaking joystick run against Fresno State in 2005.

    Duggan’s moment came in the league title game as he single-handedly drove the Frogs down the field to the doorstep while gasping for air between plays. After losing the starting job in the preseason, Duggan didn’t slink off to the transfer portal. He went back to work, and when the opportunity came, he was more than ready.

    Texas running back Bijan Robinson finished ninth in the voting, a sad result given that he’s arguably the most electric player in all of college football. The Heisman has largely become a quarterback’s award, but that should not diminish the great numbers Robinson posted in what should be his final college season.

    Robinson got my second-place vote because he constantly delivered for an 8-4 team that let several wins slip away. He totaled nearly 1,900 yards of offense and scored 20 touchdowns, second-most among running backs. He also represented his school with class and integrity, which is often overlooked in determining the nation’s best player. 

    Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud was at the helm of one of the nation’s most prolific attacks and got my third-place vote just ahead of USC quarterback Caleb Williams, who had the numbers but not good timing. His profane fingernail paint job aimed at Pac-12 opponent Utah was a horrible look for a tremendous player.

     

  10. Here's a decent summary of the results:

    So, the Elon Musk method of motivating people?

    My first reaction, too.  Then I realized that Musk (and his buddies and his creditors) just paid $44B to buy Twitter.  He owns it.

    CU has given Sanders an annual $5mm promissory note to coach the team and his first actions as coach are to publicly run off whatever talent he's inherited.  He's an employee.

    He could have introduced himself, discussed his philosophy, noted how he was going to interview and evaluate everyone, and fielded questions.  Made it about the players and the team and, behind closed doors, remind the players that they helped get the previous guy fired.  Expectations will be high, etc. etc. etc.  In true Deion form, he made it about himself and went full-on mercenary mode.

    interesting how Rice at 5-7 gets a bowl bid but A&M, also 5-7, does not.  Certainly this is due to Rice having better losses. 

    IIRC, it is the academic progress rate (APR) that is used to place 5-7 teams.  I'm not going out on a limb to guess Rice has a better APR than the Aggies.
