  1. In his career, Penix has had some big games.  

    2020 - at IU - OC = Kalen DeBoer (present UW HC)
    2020 - at #3 tosu - COVID, so no asshole fans in stadium - 27/51 - 491 yards - 5 TD, 1 INT in 42-35 loss.  TD passes 4, 63, 33, 16, and 56. Other passes of 68 and 51.
    2020 -  #23 Michigan at IU - no fans - 30/50 - 342 yds - 3 TD, 0 INT in 38-21 win
    2020 - at MSU - no fans - 25/38 - 320 yds - 2 TD, 2 INT in 24-0 win 

    2021 at IU - was so-so.  DeBoer was at Fresno and Penix was injured for latter half of season.

    2022 - at UW - DeBoer as HC
    10 300+ yard games; 3 400+ yard games, 1 500+ yard game.  2nd lowest passing output was against Texas in Alamo bowl.  Lowest was against Colorado, who they beat by 35.

    2023 - at UW - DeBoer as HC
    10 300+ yard games; 4 400+ yard games.  Seemed to struggle against ASU, OSU, WSU.  

    That all said, he did have a near perfect night against Texas.

  2. When reading that Kiyosaki is $1b in debt, the first thing that came to mind...

    "If I am $100k in debt, I have a problem.  If I am $1b in debt, the bank has a problem."  And he even says so himself and acted on it in the past.

    If I am a bank where he holds a lot of debt, though, I consider ways to call the debt.  He's clearly saying "fuck the bank if I screw up."  That said, I suspect he has dozens, if not hundreds, of creditors.

  3. From my experience, Texas is the most liberal in gaining residency for tuition purposes.

    California residents attending Texas can start an LLC offering training, tutoring, etc. services and gain residency.  I've seen examples of a kid "buying" a condo under his LLC and renting it to someone else.

    Gaining California residency, as @jimmyjazz notes, can be nigh impossible.

    Youngest is at Purdue.  There are no clear loopholes to gain Indiana residency.  Even if we moved there today, we'd have to appeal to Purdue (NOT Indiana) to get residency for tuition purposes.  There are very few, if any, examples of success.

  4. For reference, the Texas offense recorded

    (1) 8.95 Watsons of offense against TTU in a 57-7 win.
    (2) 11.22 Watsons of offense against OSU in a 49-21 win.

    For those who forget, 1 Watson = 59 yards of offense.  Proud moment against Arkansas in the 2014 Texas Bowl.  In his defense (can I really say that?), Texas offense had less than 20 mins time of possession.  Regardless, he was not a very good coordinator.

  5.  

    I've said it on Campbell threads before, but his sideline behavior often results in him being distracted for multiple plays.  After one play yesterday, he screamed, "Fuck you!  That's fucking bullshit."  About one of the plays.  The side judge warned him.

    Even when there are shitty calls, you have to move on.  Campbell complains about something every play, so most of the time he is wrong.  Probably part of his "us against the world" or underdog mindset.  Or he's just an incessant jackass douche.

    This board will sometimes complain about Sark's sideline demeanor after shitty calls, but he realizes that it is largely outside of his control and he does not let it affect him - or the team - beyond the play in question (if at all).

    Last night, Sark was frustrated with how long it took for the side judge (I think) to get his timeout call - on a play that we also got flagged for false start (waived off).  He said, "you need to do your job; that's your job" or something like that.  He did not swear at the ref.  He did not lose his mind.

    There are high school friends who went to A&M then there are high school friends who went to A&M and became cult members. One of my best friends went there and so did his wife. They met there. But at their wedding maroon was not one of the colors and no A&M songs were played at the reception. So no, you don't always have to cut old friends loose for going there. 

    Friend of mine is 2nd generation Aggie.  Grew up in CS and his dad was a prof at A&M.  His wife  went to A&M.  His son (now a dentist) went to A&M and married a woman (now a doctor) he met at A&M.  At the wedding, there were zero whoops, etc.  Near the end of the reception, they played the Aggie war hymn - and it was just fine.  They had an Aggie grooms cake - and it was just fine.  Third generation and 2nd generation Aggies getting married around a bunch of other Aggies.  It was normal.  These folks are great.  Yes, they do not always turn out bad.

  7. Patterson's timeline:
    Aug 9, 2023 - want to spend more time with wife, kids, grandkids.
    Nov 15, 2023 - ready to coach again.

    After he and his wife see Jimbo's buyout: 3 months and 6 days was enough time with the family.  Get out there and make some more generational wealth.

    If Kleiman leaves K-State, I could see them hiring him.  He has a history there 

    Patterson to KState is like a supermodel dating me.  No need for them to slum.

    It seems like they're planning on the school paying the buyout so the bmd's aren't tapped out over NIL

    Isn't "school paying the buyout" the same as "taxpayers of the state of Texas paying the buyout?"  

    The "school" and the "athletics department" are hypothetically independent entities.

  9. Wife was on a jury a couple of weeks ago in Travis County.  A guy went on a multi-hour crime spree involving crashing into cars, attempting to steal the car, and trying to force the car owner into the trunks of their own cars.  Everyone got away, fortunately.

    This was the first case of attempted aggravated kidnapping in Travis County in over 10 years.  The ADA who had been working the case for over 1 year had a family emergency and handed off the case.  The new ADA had about 1 working day of prep.

    Being able to speak to the judge and attorneys after the case was useful to her.  She expressed some displeasure that the ADA chose not to disclose his priors during the sentencing phase. ADA said he did not realize it would have affected the sentencing.  Huh?

    Overall great experience for her.  

  10. The last few pages have been glorious:

    • "Just for men reference" - beat me to the punch
    • "Day turned them in" - he should, it is his duty as tosu coach (as @Huckleberry noted)
    • How do they know Day turned them in?  Hacking?
    • 11 lawmakers asking for deference - Isn't there some superfund site (like Flint) that should be taking your attention
    • Since Stallions was suspended (Oct 20), MOV has improved - against the powerhouses of Michigan State and Purdue - also, sample size 2 = moron statement; oh and you only beat Purdue by 28.  They SUCK!
    • Michigan folks citing Antitrust, "everyone else does it", and other excuses and rationalizations.  And we thought MSU was the aggy school

    Safe to assume he's a high draft pick, which means he'll lose lots of games early in the NFL.  What is he going to do then?

    Cry some more as the game checks continue to clear.
