  1. It was a shot to all of the whiners out there, and Mack is one of them. Mack is the carburetor salesman in the days of fuel injection; a buggy whip salesman in the early days of of the automobile. Adapt or die.
  2. “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” ― John Maynard Keynes Reference w/ additional background. John Maynard Keynes' famous quote, "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent," emphasizes the unpredictable nature of financial markets and the risks of betting against them, even when you believe they are mispriced or irrational. Keynes suggests that: Irrational Market Behavior: Financial markets don't always behave logically or in line with fundamental economic indicators. Prices may fluctuate wildly due to speculation, investor sentiment, or external shocks that don't align with actual economic conditions. Risk of Timing the Market: Even if you're correct in assessing the market is irrational (e.g., a stock price is overvalued), it's challenging to predict when that irrational behavior will correct itself. The market can continue to behave irrationally longer than an investor can sustain losses from being on the "right" side of the trade too early. Solvency Risk: If an investor places a bet expecting the market to revert to rationality, they can lose a lot of money if the market continues its irrational behavior. A fundamentally sound investor can go bankrupt (lose solvency) before the market corrects itself. In short, Keynes warns that even when you believe the market is misbehaving, it may continue to do so for longer than your financial position can tolerate. This highlights the importance of timing and the perils of assuming that markets will quickly align with rational expectations.
  3. Not everyone can be as pretty as we are.
  4. 33 with 2 personal fouls/. What a piece of shit.
  5. Louis Riddick has said "textbook" so many times tonight, I decided to find the textbook.
  6. What a stupid call on 3rd and 1.
  7. Yes. They just showed the replay. Fucking cheap shot by #33. Might earn a fine in the NFL.
  8. PSU is such a dislikable team and program.
  9. Great fucking song. Listen to the girl As she takes on half the world Moving up and so alive In her honey dripping beehive Beehive It's good, so good, it's so good So good Walking back to you Is the hardest thing that I can do That I can do for you For you I'll be your plastic toy I'll be your plastic toy For you Eating up the scum Is the hardest thing for Me to do Just like honey
  10. These refs are shit. They've missed multiple false starts by PSU. Easiest call in officiating.
  11. That OPI was so egregious, Kevin Mar would have gotten it right.
  12. PSU getting benefits of officiating so far. This hold *might* have been legit, but the officials have missed holds, motion, etc. against PSU. Oh and Allar whines too much to officials.
  13. Just turned it on. Acho and his sidekick are hideous. And Brian Kelly is a 1000% jerk.
  14. I hope DeBoer belches in the post-game presser.
  15. These knucklehead commentators think Milroe is a first-rounder? Nope.
  16. Incomplete pass on 4th and 2.
  17. Williams needs a lambo.
  18. I looked this up a short while back. There are around 650k alumni and either 183k or 153k enrolled students. There are 57k at the Tempe campus. Texas has 580k alumni. Enrollment at Texas is around 52k, with 42k undergrads. Follow links for more details, but these numbers are from the universities. ASU has 70k+ students in "digital immersion," which is code for "online classes." Fwiw.
  19. Half of the BYU team was older than Army's Finucane.
  20. Teams built by Mack Brown have now lost 5 consecutive bowl games.
  21. If Mack oversteps and CDC/Hartzell do not want to deal with directly, they can always bring back Steve Patterson on a 2-day contract. (ducks)
  22. "I gave you a blank canvas and this is what you did with it." WT Sherman, allegedly.
  23. Looks like he spent zero time worried about strength and conditioning. Moreover, it appears to have ignored the nutritionist all year. I am not the paragon of fitness, but a guy who has spent 2 years in a "top" NCAA football program should look more fit than that.
