I moved all my retirement accounts in to pure cash before today’s drop. I am fucking petrified of this market. Nothing matters except tweets anymore apparently. Tariffs appear to be the one thing this market responds to.
I did the same a week ago and watched the market climb. I swear the Institutional investors watch my account and act accordingly. I did keep my Mutuals, thankfully.

This is the same university that had an alum admit to paying for abortions and to bring whores to football players. I just assumed that paid porn subscriptions are part of the faculty recruitment package.
Congrats to the alum bring whores. Much better than rape.

Voted No. I didn't like the Charlie Strong hire or the Tom Herman hire. Both coaches had quarterbacks that were just plain better than the defenses they lined up against. A couple of years with extra ordinary talented QB doesn't make you a coach. It makes you in the right place at the right time.
That was always my argument about CB. See Vince Young

a)nobody should expect to be as good as Alabama, and b) as mentioned, Texas football has been largely irrelevant for 4 of the last 5 decades, yet our fan base still expects/demands that we roll out of bed and go 13-0 every year.
Hear me out. There are vast differences between Bama and UT. The State of Alabama is like the state of oklahoma. They only have two teams as far as residents are concerned. We have four with huge alumni bases and t-shirt fans. Thrown in the tiny base for TCU and Baylor to add a few fans. None of those four fan bases compare to Alabama. They remind me of Arkansas when they were in the SWC. Every barbara shop, beauty shop, restaurant, truck stop and all levels of state government in oklahoma, Arkansas or Alabama talk football endlessly.
We lost huge percentages of fan base with pro sports in Dallas and Houston. Texas is much more diversified. All that said aggy has spent more than todays PPP programs and has yet to perform at SEC levels or UT under Brown. I'm no expert on Alabama but I would think if you can walk and chew gum you get admitted to Bama whereas at UT there may be less radical support from today's students.

This is a ridiculous categorical statement. So if he pulls a 2019 Baylor and goes 11-1
but then loses in the CCGhe gets fired? Right. -

I am currently watching defensive line drills from the Senior Bowl earlier this year. I am so desperate for college sports that I am enjoying football practice reruns.
I can't even imagine what the Fall would be like without college football.
Or going into the Alumni Center before, during and after the games

I'm curious how SEC would do if they didn't have ticket sales for their programs and coaching salaries in the fall. Thought LSU was pretty close to broke. Plus, how would television rights go if there isn't a season? And outside of sports, what else is the SEC good for (other than Florida or Vandy)? Not that OSU, KU and a few others in the Big 12 wouldn't struggle but the whole virus scenario seems like it opens a huge chasm between the have's and have nots.
LSU was near bankruptcy BEFORE the Covid19 crisis. I can't imagine how bad the finances look today given oil being so low and their state Treasury being depleted.

The top 40 programs should use this opportunity to form their own league outside of the NCAA. There's probably 20 programs that don't really want to fund money loser expensive football programs so they'll bail first.
This a thousand times ^^^^

LSU says come on over. We're playing.

I don't understand your reply. I tried to post in politics but Surly doesn't recognize me as from way back in the early Big 12 days on Horns Fans. I can't post there.

I'd like to hear how the shelter in place and the airlines no longer flying in the atmosphere could or would reduce global warming.

Arkansas bolted the SWC for the SEC 28 years ago because Frank Broyles was told the Razorbacks wouldn’t be included in any realignment that included Texas or A&M. The move saved the Hogs’ bacon. But as Broyles once told me, it’s never been the same since. Nearly three decades after joining the SEC, Arkansas has yet to develop a feud as blood-boiling as Texas. Of course, that’s the thing about leaving old rivalries. Anyone who was a senior at Arkansas when the Razorbacks left the SWC is still young enough to remember what it was like.
This is 100% inaccurate. Broyles had assurances Texas and aggy would join the Hogs in bolting. Broyles was sick of playing before empty stadiums at Baylor, Rice, TCU and SMU (only exception was cheating years). The rumblings in the Texas Legislature that they would never allow UT and aggy to follow the Hogs ended the plan. It hasn't been a total failure. They still get a ton of money, expanded their stadium from 40k to 70k. Their share of SEC money is larger than any Big 12 teams share of money.

I took the train from SeaTac to The UW football stadium a couple of months ago for work, not during a game. It’s really cool coming up from underground and popping up right in front of the stadium.
What's really cool is having a big supper at one of the nice restaurants and then taking the boat to the stadium. We did that several years ago when LSU played UW.

Great idea for halftime at the Tech game

My only regret is that I have but one rep to give.
That's one more then I can give, unfortunately. What gives here? Yeah it says I registered yesterday but the fact is I've been around since the days of the original Big12 boards.

Wonder if the Rice "band" will try to pull some stunt they think is clever.
Did you see them Saturday? They appeared to be nearly all Asian and had fearsome instruments like violins and cellos lol. Highly talented no doubt and entertaining.

Every large NCAA sporting event Forum has the same complaint over and over and it is never addressed by the AD. Get rid of the loud music and let the band play. Why is this so damned difficult to understand? I'm told it is for the team and not the fans but I seriously doubt they are waiting for their "favorite number" to be played. At least have the guts to tell everyone why they refuse to address the situation.
Markets still falling like whoa

Elon's tweet was like Wide Right. He was so close to building a balance sheet and could have gone to the bond market to get the pumpkin through the goal posts. Instead...
