    What’s funny is that they’re not even close with a new deal against the old Texas/Nike deal. They went with a shorter term deal to match up with when Texas inks its next one. They somehow think that they should get comparable money to whatever the next Texas/Nike is from Adidas at that time. 

    Boy, that cannot be viewed as a good deal for Adidas at this point. Louisville has truly sucked in basketball since inking that deal and the football team hasn’t even been visible for stretches during the same period. 

    Wow. They’re not “little brother”. Trying to sync their next contract’s timing with Texas’ is like my little sister- just looking for reasons to be aggrieved. 

  2. My MIL (no pics) lives seven minutes away, alone. She is 89 and fairly mobile, but it’s kind of “when”, not “if” on something happening, right?

    Anyone have any recommendations on those things old people have where they wear them around their neck and press a button if they need help? Is there a monthly fee for monitoring? Any options without a fee?

    Why not use her cell phone? Because she doesn’t use her cell phone. 
     
    Any help or suggestions are appreciated

    ..  BV was the one to get him into the portal (per tcu mods) 

    I have been reading for almost a year, on the OU ON3 board (Sooner Scoop) that OU and its fans are upset about tampering, that they are building a relationship-driven program rather than a transaction-driven program, that Venables was just too principled for this game. 
     
    I believed that to be horseshit, and if your claim is true, it is confirmed as horseshit.

    Lmao at framing trolling, bigotry, and fascism as matters of opinion. 

    The U.S. State Department has co-signed onto the official definition of anti-Semitism developed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. One of its examples of anti Semitism is comparing Israel’s actions to those of Nazi Germany. So, do you agree that, when a poster on Daily Texan or Cloak Room compares actions of IDF to the Nazis, that they are being racist?

    Or is that just a matter of opinion?

    I think I'm more interested in portal CBs than DTs at this point. At least we have a lot of bodies at DT. We're thinner than a 90s supermodel at CB.

    Against Alabama, our starting safeties were Catalon and Thompson. Our starting corners were Watts and Brooks. All are gone now. 
     
    I think we could have had three, and maybe four, back, if we wanted them.

  6. Couldn’t they have a private database of banking routing numbers? My bank’s name is on the check; couldn’t that be enough?  The bank would have access to the routing number but not the third.

    In terms of luck, let’s not forget being a big toe away from nocking off Milwaukee in their championship run. What an amazing clutch shot that came less than an inch from being so much bigger.

     

    When he retires, they’ll show this, along with the two shots over LeBron in the Finals. 

  8. First-I really appreciate all info. Thanks very much!

    Update- last week, I disputed the issue to the bank, and reported to the local police and the post office. I am supposed to get a call from a police officer and a postal inspector in the next couple of days. 
     
    I have a new account number with the bank. There was a second issue, of a low three figure e-charge made to Verizon, for a customer that doesn’t share my surname, and Wells Fargo reversed that in short order (why did they even pay it? Why do they not automatically flag the account?). They said my dispute on the check could take 10 business days to resolve. They are in for one hell of an argument, and legal action, if they don’t resolve it in my favor. 
     
    So, I will be paying bills online now. Question- why are checks printed with the routing number and account number? Before this incident, I thought that was a risk; now I realize that it’s an absolute offering to lazy thieves. 

  9. So, there is something like football played in Ireland, so maybe they’re naturals for this. I’ll tell you what, Dublin is awesome. Honestly, it really exceeded my (already positive) expectations. I encourage everyone to go sometime. 
     
    That said, I never saw any need to eat the mashed peas that were a side dish on every damned meal. 

  10. I notice when they “washed” the check, the washing bled into the line where I wrote the amount in cursive. In reconstructing it, the thief omitted the word “thousand”, so I’m hopeful that helps in getting the money back from the bank.

    Stay away from the US postal service for any payments by check.  I handle business affairs for my church and we ended up moving our mail delivery from our physical address to a P.O. Box due to all of the mail theft and check-washing that we experienced.

    I put it in a drop box, at dawn, on the way to work. Who is going to steal from a drop box in broad daylight?, I figured. Lesson learned.

    So you wrote a check to Citi, and someone besides Citi cashed it? Or you just mean someone got a hold of your check book and has been writing fraudulent checks? Do you have images of the fraudulent checks? 

    Wrote it to Citi, and somehow an individual put their name in as the payee. Yes, I have an image. Not my script. 

  13. Could use advice. 
    I pay off the credit card balance monthly. Got a call from Citi asking why the payment is six days late. I said, “You’re crazy.  I paid and you cashed it”. They said nuh uh. 
     
    Checked the bank app. Someone else’s name written instead of Citi. Not my handwriting. 
     
    Also- a check payment made today to Verizon. I do no business with Verizon. 
     
    Called the bank- filed disputes, froze account and opened new one. Resolved to only pay online now. 
     
    I asked the bank if I should file with police, and if so, who? They wouldn’t answer. 
     
    So, Surly-world- advice? Report to local police? Postal inspector? Anyone have any functional experience? Thanks for all advice.

    Intrigued by this as a possible final outcome of the next round of realignment where whatever version of the 2-4 "power" conferences do whatever they want and the Sunbelt, AAC, MWC, MAC, CUSA need to figure out a way to be relevant in their own way. Think its an uphill push right now because there are enough left behind schools in the AAC like Memphis that think they should be in some reformulated ACC or Big 12 but save that gotta think the other members of the G5 conferences have got be up for trying something other than just taking the 9% of table scraps offered up by the new CFP deal and liking it. 

     

    Well, it’s becoming more and more clear that the non-CFP bowls, with opt outs and transfers, are almost totally exhibition games, marginally more interesting than scrimmages. The G5’s need to do something
