  1. I know for a fact that respected talent evaluators felt Weigman was very solid coming out of high school with real star potential. I ascribe his problems more to poor coaching than lack of talent.
  2. Less than 24 hours later I still don’t understand how Aggie can screw up yet another game. ND was mostly ass all night. Aggie has some excellent DL and S talent. They have a good QB. They should have scored more than 13, and shouldn’t have given up huge chunks of yardage late. It’s almost like the team is just out of shape.
  3. That is awesome. Mcafee is that friend who you love showing up to the party because he’s loud and obnoxious, and then about 20 minutes later you are looking for a place to hide from him because he gets on your nerves so bad.
  4. Ran across an entitled, rude, selfish prick with no self-awareness today out at the course. He had a custom golf cart and was blaring music so loud from speakers mounted in the back it could be heard hundreds of yards away. All of these jackwagons on the course seem to have similar personalities and even to some extent similar looks. Which Surly golfer did I just hear?
  5. ND is bad but Aggies have some talent on D.
  6. All of these ND penalties are starting to seem like some serious home cooking.
  7. I knew ND sucked. I couldn’t understand the top ten ranking at all.
  8. Great to see the linchpin to the 2024 class get some game time.
  9. Man Wingo is interesting.
  10. There is something special about this Bevo. Can’t quite put my finger on it but he’s got something.
  11. MBatchou of Florida, come on down.
  12. Every time I hear Silas Bolden I think of Sirius Black of Harry Potter. I don’t know why.
  13. Dude always seems to show out.
  14. Love Bert but someone needs to get him a helmet that doesn’t make him look regarded.
  15. If I understand the Cook Beats deal, it was also genius for Cook “to get” headphones for his teammates. Beats gets free advertising every time the Texas team is shown stepping off the bus. Genius move by Beats and Cook. I fully expect Texas to cut that stuff off in the future and sell headphone bus stepping off rights.
  16. There isn’t an expectation of refrigerators conveying. A lot of times people don’t want to take a fridge with them, and I’ll use the fridge as a potential deal negotiating point. Or, just tell people it conveys in the realtor notes.
  17. Not only did he bag $22m, he currently has one of the coolest Longhorn meme gifs out there.
  18. He’s a lughead.
  19. Excuse me sir. It’s called the All Coast Conference.
  20. I don’t get this thread. I’m watching the Astros and flipping back to the OU game. They are up 34-0. How can they look as bad as this thread implies?
  21. Holy shit I just looked at Herman’s staff at FAU and it’s ass my dude.
  22. It was well known on this board and in the booster community that Marion was more interested in planning his next role than he was excelling in his current role. Maybe you were asleep.
  23. On the recession impact, that is why I said there is upside potential and downside risk. It could be a brief non impacting recession. However, I’m in real estate and also ran tech companies and have the opinion that the Austin area has not seen a real downturn for a long time and conditions are looking to have more downside risk than any year since 2009-2010. So far this year, I’ve saved a few clients a lot of money by getting their properties sold at good prices before the declines of the last few months hit their areas. On the cash flowing, I was responding to the thoughts expressed earlier about starting to rent out now. I’m sure anything from pre 2021 is fine. Again, I look at the situation in probabilities and expected returns, so that it’s not just guessing about the future.
  24. Here is how I would suggest anyone think about the rental market in Austin. Home prices are off their peak by quite a bit, but we haven’t even entered a recession since 2009. The Austin market could get hit hard by a recession because it is a tech driven market these days and a lot of the employment here is as a secondary location to another location. In recessions, secondary locations get hit first and hard. However, long-term Austin will be a winning real estate market. That tech presence will drive significant growth. Markets that don’t have good rental cash flow must rely on home appreciation for the long term gains. And right now most rentals are not covering costs+the value of embedded equity. That means as prices drop, the negative or lower cash flow gets worse, and owners must tough out a time period of poor cash flow. Eventually, prices will turn and money can be made on the appreciation. One thing that will help on prices in the near term are the rate cuts. So there is some upside potential too. TLDR: There is more downside home price risk right now due to potential recession than upside benefit from a rate cut. So rental decisions should be made in the context of holding for at least 5 if not 10 years. If you are just thinking about doing it for 1-2 years, your expected value is likely negative due to the recession risk.
  25. I can’t decide whether their massive visit list is a good idea to build some excitement, or a terrible idea by harming some fragile egos.
