  1. Nevermind. Saw link above.
  2. Interesting thing I noticed while at a port city last week. A large strange looking boat was pulling out of port. There were government workers of all types watching it leave. It was clear that it was highly unusual for it to have been in this port and its leaving was also an unusual event. When I did some research on it, I realized it is a Navy ship that lays underwater fuel cables in advance of combat operations. It is a very shady ship. So shit is about to happen in a significant way. This went out into the Pacific, not the Atlantic. It was really weird.
  3. Hey if it all burns down…🤷
  4. So sounds like they were at a restaurant near the resort. It wasn’t the resort restaurant.
  5. Ah there’s the missing piece.
  6. With the women’s basketball 5 star picking OU over Texas it left me with a question about corporate NIL. Do the shoe companies and other corporate NIL companies offer different NIL compensation based upon where an athlete decides to enroll? Because that five star player will be worth a helluva lot more at Texas to them than at OU, I would think. She’s working her deal with Jordan and I would have thought he’d pay her more at Texas.
  7. Without change, your situation is not going to end well, and it sure seems like the end is getting closer. I pray your behavior doesn’t end up affecting other lives too.
  8. I’m hopeful Miller is like Sark, in that he had some positive past performances, but with some significant questions about his ability to win at the level Texas requires. Sark so far has worked out really well, although he hasn’t yet shown he’s good enough to get over the hump of winning it all. Maybe CDC and the decision makers know what they are doing.
  9. Amazing how people ignore the major trigger for inflation under Trump with one of the most massive money tosses in U.S. history. Democrats are not immune from criticism either. But let’s not pretend this is a “lib” only problem. Every credible deficit reduction plan must include taxes and spending cuts. We have one party and one party only that refuses the taxes. If you want to argue about this head to cloak room.
  10. @justhookit I saw the news report about MLB Brett Gardner’s son dying in Manuel Antonio. They showed a shot of a beach that looked exactly like Tulemar. Any word on where it happened?
  11. It was, but a Table of Contents would have been helpful.
  12. Since tons is plural, that’s at least two tons. At 200 pounds per player on average, that would be 4000 pounds/200 pounds per player = 20 5 stars. In 12 years at Arizona. That’s 1.67 5 stars per year.
  13. This is a great question. Top 3 for sure and probably #1. And I’m not that fired up about Miller.
  14. Does this go 7 or 9 innings? I can’t remember.
  15. You mentioned this before. In general, I’m not a big believer in coaches who scream and yell so much that they treat athletes poorly. With that said, a ton of highly successful coaches are not easy to play for and yelling and screaming is often part of the formula for success. Beard is a screamer, as are many other top coaches. The real question is whether the behaviors cross lines, or are the players simply not mentally strong enough to take the “coaching”.
  16. Golden had a very pedestrian resume. How did Florida see Golden as a good hire?
  17. It could be someone who loses today and maybe one extra day to get everything lined up. No firing by Tuesday means either someone still coaching or haven’t got the person locked down.
  18. The “surprise” hire of Beard was different than the surprise being discussed now. Everyone knew he was the top target of Texas, but most thought Texas couldn’t get him because of the extension. The surprise was that we did. This surprise would be a coach that no one is thinking about because Texas doesn’t have a clear top target. Different type of surprise.
  19. Just had that today at the airport and it was pretty good for the price.
