  1. Way, way ahead of you
  2. The left is attacking Trump wrong on this. The play isn't the constitutional crisis, the black bagging of randoms, or the foreign gulag. People don't care about that - especially for this guy. The play is to attack Trump as weak. Bernie or whoever needs to put out a tweet that says "Trump can't even get tiny El Salvador to release one guy! Incredibly WEAK! Sad! To have such a weak POTUS who can't tell other countries what to do, especially shithole countries!" Trump would be falling over himself to prove how strong he is by this afternoon.
  3. The pressure wave to blow a solid wood door off the frame like that...wow. Obviously flying glass...are your eardrums intact? Could have been a lot worse.
  4. Cal split him out like a slot a ton...to his credit he got open, good routes.
  5. Meh. Anyone ever done the fire sale? Worth checking out?
  6. It's going to be hilarious to watch this blow up in Nico's and his father's stupid faces. TTech or wherever he lands isn't paying him whatever he thinks he's worth. He just cost himself a shit ton of money.
  7. Beating OU 49-0 a few years back was basically a 3-hour orgasm. The 2005 NC is above it obviously but I'll remember it forever, that washed away so many bad feelings of OU blowouts. And the weather was as perfect as can be for that game - the perfect day.
  8. Will it auto-renew your existing seats if you do nothing? I will be on a flight during my window.
  9. "Maybe" is doing some HEAVY lifting in that statement.
  10. Honest question: is this a negative reaction to prices going up, or to actual bloat in the LHF? I have zero exposure to the LHF organization other than occasional emails from them and when I pay my seat donation YoY. Maybe once a year I call in with a question about seat selection and the service has been good. Is there a massive headcount hiding in the LHF that is causing prices to be so high? My assumption is that they are charging what the market will pay, not pricing based on their costs. The Athletic Department is a different question - people always point out bloat there and with the dual mens/women's AD structure maybe that was the case. I thought CDC had cleaned up some of that?
  11. I put in for 4 OU game tickets like I did last year, we will see… 50K buys some pretty nice Georgia tickets on the secondary market…
  12. She's awesome and my favorite player on this team. Major heart. If she can boost her 3pt shooting and develop a teardrop she'd be unstoppable. Especially the teardrop because she's fast enough off the dribble to get into the lane on almost anyone.
  13. Split the difference, 625 yards!
  14. Happens in business too - the Board wants XYZ and isn't listening to the management team so you hire BCG or McKenzie to say the same thing and they're like "Oh, ok!" lol $50B for systemwide. They identified $1.6B of lines where you could make the business case to do it.
  15. After the ice storm a few years back, Austin Energy commissioned a study on what it would take to bury Austin's electrical lines. That study is now published: TL;DR - $50 Billion and negative ROI. On one hand, WTF. On the other hand, bravo to Austin for not just plowing forward with doing the project, then getting a few years into it and only then realizing it was going to run into the billions...
  16. I like CDC. But giving him credit (or blame) for the Sark hire is laughable. That was Eltife and $$$ driving that bus, CDC was along for the ride.
  17. All the ads are a beating. The reads, the injected ads, all of it. YES WE UNDERSTAND they need to do it to produce content and pay the bills. YES it still sucks ass. NO the YT app is not a great option. I listen in the car via CarPlay on iPhone's podcast app - no CarPlay for YT. The formula for OTF now is: Listen to only one of Coffee or Livestream - it's all a repeat unless there is breaking news. Skip the Babers/Shipley segments b/c Rod babbles the same "football investigator," "DBU," and Akina love things 5x over and over. Shipley spins the same tales of the old days again and again too. Skip "Hump Day with Hills" segments unless you are all about sunshine pumping over the top fake enthusiasm - hard to believe Bobby pays for that. Hit the :30 skip forward 6x at the top of the pod which gets you through the initial ad reads and the "tell us where you're at, tell us what you're drinking, and oh BTW super chats can interrupt the show at any time" disclaimers. Whenever an ad read pops up midway, hit :30 second skip another 6x. Nothing you miss won't be repeated again. With all that in mind a 1hr Coffee and Football can be done in about 20-25 minutes on 1.5x. All that said, I actually do like OTF. I enjoy Gerry's recruiting updates, every once in awhile Bobby drops some behind the scenes stuff. They are at their best when they disagree and debate, wish they did more of it. For all the flaws it's miles better than any other Longhorn focused pod.
  18. Arch's 60 yard scramble vs. UTSA will probably end up being the longest of his career at Texas. Vince was good for one of those every other game or so.
  19. Why would China go in opposition to their biggest ally Russia to get more rare earths, of which they are the world leader in today?
  20. Agree. I know enough of these people and what isn't helpful is calling them idiots, racist, etc - that just drives them harder into MAGA's arms. What I mean is that it makes people within this board feel really good but it's not a winning formula politically.
  21. There are many out there who do believe this. And they voted.
  22. Did you even read my post? I did NOT vote for Trump. I did in fact vote for Harris, not that it's your business. I'm as disgusted with Trump as anyone, especially today. People are rightly angry. You need to separate your anger. Understanding what Trump tapped into is not the same as justifying it, making excuses for it, normalizing it, or accepting it.
  23. I'm all for it; I just doubt Europe's resolve once the U.S. drops out. Easier to just let Russia take Ukraine, Moldova, etc. They'll grasp their pearls but other than Poland I'd be surprised if they put troops down there to act as peacekeepers. They've already donated their spare gear and are just now spinning up their military industrial base.
