  1. The right thing to do is not pull for either OSU or ND, not watch the game, not read about the result, and not give it any brain cycles at all. The pain from the semifinal is still too fresh.
  2. Can someone explain those classic car auctions you see on tv, like MavTV? They auction 1970’s muscle cars, like Camaros, Chevelle’s Pontiac’s, etc for ~$25-45k. Are these cars drivable? Can you get parts? What’s the downside of having one? I realize they don’t have safety features, etc.
  3. I got into real estate originally because my agents sucked and cost me tens of thousands of dollars with bad decisions, negotiating, etc. Like all of the “experts” on Reddit who said that using realtors was for suckers, I had a low opinion of using one. Then when I got a license and went thru a bunch of deals I realized there are a thousand tiny little details that can screw up deals and leave buyers or sellers financially exposed big time, sometimes to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. I just was using bad agents. I needed to find the 10-15% that knew what they were doing. With a good agent, they will pay for most if not all their fee, but more importantly keep you out of a severe, frightening financial disaster. It’s a low probability, but if it happens to you it’s a 100% probability. This year, rather than do deals directly I’m just referring people to other agents. I can look at their specific situation and help them find a competent agent in the Austin metro area.
  4. If I am an NFL GM, I have a hard rule of no higher than a 3rd round pick on him. Any higher is too much potential wasted draft capital. I'm also not a Milroe believer, but then I wasn't a Hurts believer at Bama either. I wouldn't spend higher than a 3rd on Milroe either.
  5. An amount is released every 15 minutes on Venmo for the entire semester, day and night.
  6. 3 OT’s going before Banks is crazy to me. He’s probably the best OL in Texas history. I envision him going between 8-12 in the first round. The Cowboys would be nuts to pass on him and pick Burton instead. That would really piss me off. Of course they believe they have their two OT’s. I believe Guyton will fail to improve.
  7. It’s a good decision because it’s not a great year for QB’s.
  8. I was ticked off at Cook’s behavior after he left Texas. But seeing him implode in just a few weeks makes me sad for him more than angry. That dude has some real problems. This board alluded to them for a few weeks, but I thought it was typical surly hyperbole. It wasn’t.
  9. I’m sorry, you can throw out whatever statistics you want, but they are in direct conflict with the TRUE bible of facts regarding procreation, the documentary Idiocracy. The stupid must be multiplying faster than the unstupid.
  10. I used to be in the business of content monitoring, and on one of my trips to China I had an opportunity to visit with a very bright professor at Beijing University in an informal setting. He had built some technology that was being used by the Chinese government to analyze and filter EVERY piece of internet and mobile traffic in the country. It was frightening.
