    Ah, here we go. 

    His 300k might not be taxed. And yes, his NIL money will be taxed. But even assuming 4 years (maybe 5 now) and a 25% tax rate, he's at net even. Plus all the other NIL deals he can make at Texas. Say, another one that sponsors WR. Say, all that Tik Tok money. Say he's a stud and gets a car dealership deal. Do you know how many car dealerships there are in Austin versus College Station? I fucking do. He could walk out of Texas at worst with the same as aTm AFTER he pays taxes, and he could also walk out of Texas worth 2 million. He can't do that in College Station. 

    Devils advocate here. Aggy will have NIL money to add to the bag also. I’ll concede to the premise that Austin can provide a more NiL opportunities than CS. At the end of the day though, per your own numbers bag money only has to match 75% of NIL money. May be the amounts are so high at some point it won’t matter but I’m not there yet. Something to be said for cash in hand vs waiting a year also. 
     

    and don’t get me wrong, I certainly hope the UT model is the one the top players migrate to I just know that schools like aggy will not concede the Austin NIL advantage.  Their bags will increase too.  Will the NIL route be enough?  Still unanswered in my opinion  

    ducking for CTJ to tell me how I have no critical thinking skills

  2. Re the late/no reaction time:

    Statement from wife of now deceased dude: 

    “I recorded the shooting on my cell phone. During this entire incident, I didn’t realize that Kyle Carruth was holding and brandishing an actual firearm. At that time, I thought that it was some type of stun-gun or paintball gun. Even when Kyle Carruth fired the shots, the sound was very muffled and not as loud as I know firearms to be. It wasn’t until I got to Chad on the ground that I realized that he had in fact been shot and that the weapon held by Kyle Carruth was a firearm.”

  3. Highly likely that in a generation or two people will look back and say what the fuck where those people thinking having hair on only your lip and chin. It really is an embarrassing look. Trumpkins are probably the nail in the coffin for that look

    If you are the defense and feel great about getting your verdict, you don't move for a mistrial. 

    Me thinks you are not a lawyer

    I'm so excited, I'm so excited. I'm so... scared.  Not really- fuck that noise.  This team gonna be fun to watch, well coached, talented and awesome.  I don't know how far we will go in the dance b/c a 1 elimination tournament is such a fucking crap shoot- but we can control what is in our control over a full season.  I'm going to predict that we come home with some hardware and enter the tournament as the #2 two seed. 

    Bring it, bitches.

    Even SC admits that we indeed raced. 4 consecutive 100 yard sprints. The dispute is that I'm telling the truth when I say that I beat him by at least 10 yards each time, and he's of this belief that he was ever so close each time. I mean, I turned around after finishing one of the heats and filmed him coming down the field.

    Did this happen in Vegas or Waco?

    CTJ doubles down again

     

    But wait, there's more

    It's amusing. CTJ's bonafides are well known. He's got more money & connections than many on this board--author certainly included--and yet his incessant need to always be correct even in the face of facts that prove otherwise force him to continue his charade. He does provide some good insights from time to time on subjects that most of us aren't privy to, and his efforts (if not his prose) are generally appreciated.

    The damn thing is, it doesn't matter.  All he had to do was reference the '99 Baylor-UNLV game for the fuck up it was rather than claim that first the game was in Vegas when he was there with his buddies, then pivot to well, "I saw it and it was vomit inducing funny," to "we watched the highlights on the local news."

    Except it wasn't on the local news. It wasn't televised. And apparently the local Vegas stations didn't think it was necessary to send a crew to Waco fucking Texas in game 2 of the season for a team that had gone 0-11 the year before. There is exactly one video of the play. It never aired. It was made at the end of the 1999 season to be used as a hype video for the next year (note: it didn't work).

    Maybe CTJ is channeling his inner Michael Crabtree and he dreamt it in his head!

     

     

     

    Has anyone ever seen ctj and Randolph duke in the same room?
