  1. A long time bond investor for two years has been telling me the 10 year will top out around 5.5-6%. When it hit 5% he said it was fine to load up on some bonds, but cautioned that government borrowing would eventually require 5.5% or higher. We should know in six months whether he’s right. Either the whole economy will break before then, or government budget deficit talks will produce a message.
  2. In this Adderall soaked society nothing Texas fans did will be remembered or matter in a week. We all have the attention span of a shroom toting hippie at the Joshua Tree.
  3. So I assume there is something seriously wrong with the J. Cook situation. Didn’t make a catch again. Very disappointing.
  4. Recruits realize that in a good not perfect season with one or a few losses, it means there may still be early playing time potential. One game or few should not sway a recruit’s mind. Florida State’s implosion should cause a recruit to think twice.
  5. I do wonder whether Quinn is more injured than they’ve disclosed, much like last year. His tentative movements and lack of accuracy downfield could indicate he’s still hurt. But regardless, even a healthy Quinn has issues.
  6. Arch didn’t look good tonight. He will and can in the future. Is that future next week? Idk.
  7. I’ve been a Quinn defender for a long time. He is able to make throws and reads that most other qb’s can’t make. You see how we are even worse with Arch in the game because of his inexperience. However, there is something fundamentally missing with the guy. His lack of pocket presence, pocket awareness, escapability, and inability to find and hit receivers down field makes him a liability. I really don’t know where you go from here with him. And I don’t know where this team goes. It goes nowhere in the playoffs imo.
  8. OU defense is pretty good. Someone last week tried to use total yardage rankings to argue their defense is average/bad. That was a lazy take. It isn’t average/bad. It’s decently good.
  9. What was your plan B? That’s what I always struggle with.
  10. Just to be clear, that was no “coin flip”.
  11. Damn that story about Banks mom is sad. Only a chance conversation led to a correct diagnosis.
  12. That’s a damn good tip.
  13. These rubes are amazingly jealous and insecure.
  14. I don’t think any of you understand how deep my hatred for Trump goes. Have I listened to him in the last six months? No. No I have not. Every time he is on tv, or I see a social media post where he is speaking, I do everything in my power to click away as soon as possible. I do not want to waste one brain cell on anything that moron has to say. He is a worthless human being. Everyone knows he says crazy things and is a terrible person. Having not watched him in six months, I wasn’t sure whether the reports of his mental decline were just political maneuvering or actual serious issues. I haven’t seen news outlets like ABC pick up the stories. That’s all I was asking. Relax.
  15. How real are all these stories about Trump’s mental faculties? Propaganda, or is there something to it? I’m starting to get worried that this situation is starting to look like 2016. Trump somehow pulls a tiny electoral majority. I don’t think I can handle that if it happens.
  16. I just saw the most offensive political commercial in my entire life. In it, presidential candidate Randall Terry claims Kamela Harris is working for the KKK to abort black babies, and then shows dead black babies and fetuses. Most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. We have to get back in control of the media. This is ridiculous. ABC posted a note beforehand that they were required by law to show the ad.
  17. So interesting little side note on this. My close friend was/is dating (fiancé) the head of one of the marketing departments of the C4 brand. Of course my friend and our whole group are Texas grads. So them doing a deal with Bijan was greatly appreciated. He got to meet Bijan and he sent me some cool picks with him, I think from the photo shoot.
  18. Scheffler is the game day Texas picker? Good choice. Would also have accepted Kevin Durant, Ryan Crouser, Tara Davis Woodhall, Colt McCoy. Or, a bury the hatchet pick like Craig Curry, Chris Simms for laughs.
  19. The gameday pick to pay attention to is Saban. He’s been sniffing out winners with very keen insights. He will have a very good handle on this game. Hope it’s Texas, obviously.
  20. This example describes one of the tactics they used on Amanda Knox to get her to “confess”. They told her she was traumatized and didn’t remember committing the murder, but they had extensive evidence she did it. Of course they lied.
  21. It’s because we are free!! Jk. Well maybe.
