Certifiably Surly
  1. And it proves he’s doing nothing in this thread but trolling. He’s unfunny, unknowledgeable, and his dog hates him. He should get a timeout from this thread for being a chode.
  2. We have the same issue. We both get care at Mayo Clinic, and no Texas ACA plans accept it. So despite being pretty well off financially and no need to work, my wife works so we have access to Mayo. It’s ridiculous. Oh, and Mayo costs are as low or lower than any other provider on Texas so it doesn’t even financially make sense.
  3. In regards to the current OL portal situation, I see that the pollyanna crowd is now at this stage:
  4. Medicare for all sounds interesting, but the one thing the system has today is a high level of competition for large businesses. So insurance company rates for large companies are significantly lower than other segments. A lot of them are self insured. So whatever is done needs to make sure there’s competition that providers care about, because if it’s just the individual negotiating for themself, then all companies will just raise rays with no governor because they can withstand losing an individual rather than a company. It allows the providers to essentially price fix.
  5. Jesus. What state are you in?
  6. I am really concerned about the future for Texas public universities. High quality faculty and professors don’t teach or do research at Texas or Texas A&M because they pay the best. They come because it’s where they want to be and live. State dipshits making it unappealing to most, if not all faculty, will create a very significant brain drain.
  7. The depth at C is so bad, they need him even if they bring in another combo IL
  8. With The Wyoming guy not panning out and Texas wanting Robertson back, I think that’s going to work out. Should be some good news coming.
  9. Just reviewed the roster again. The OL, and guard/center position in particular, is one of the worst situations I’ve seen in Texas roster history. They can’t even field the position. It’s ridiculous. I can’t believe there aren’t five other OL in play right now, or maybe there are. It’s the worst management of a position I’ve ever seen.
  10. If Cam Coleman picks that, he’s insane.
  11. Is a CB required? Don’t they have enough there, and pretty good?
  12. A few thoughts from this train wreck of a thread: If you’re hung up on “all-in”, did you not watch that exact same thing happen with the Cowboys? Jerry said all-in and got roasted. It probably wasn’t the best term to use by the 9.95rs but don’t read too much into a generic hyphenated term. As to all the bickering, as I posted elsewhere a few weeks ago, that is part of the charm of surly. I’ve developed pretty thick skin over the years. However, when the bickering starts really causing reasonably good posters to not post their thoughts because of fear of being lambasted not for a stupid post but for a different viewpoint or innocent thought, that’s not productive or good for site content. And we want good content. With that said, I’ve been an ass many times over the years because of what I felt were stupid takes, but I decided to be a little more civil going forward, because it’s good for site content. A little. Not a lot. Finally, I’ve met Bobby, Sydney, CTJ, and others on this site, and know who scramblyn is, and the shit that erupted this morning isn’t helpful. These are all good people as far as I know.
  13. The posters in this thread who are either too pessimistic or too pollyannaish this early in the portal period are annoying.
  14. That was really the basis/fear for my earlier question.
