  1. So......does this buy Jimbo another year? Oh wait, he's not going anywhere cause he's guaranteed eleventy billion dollars anyway. He's got 3 more years regardless of how shitty he continues to be. It would be aggy for Jimbo to win barely enough (a NYs day bowl) next year that they give him another 5 year $80M guaranteed contract. You know, cause it takes 15 years to build a program.
  2. Maybe it's all in my head but I thought I remembered reading that Weigman's parents disliked Jimbo and were looking for him to transfer after last season. If that is the case, I don't see how Weigman stays after this year. There's a certain program in Tuscaloosa who is looking for a transfer QB.
  3. IMO a comp science grad from UTSA is going to have a much better chance of landing a decent to good salaried job out of college than an English major from UT Austin. Schools matter but majors matter more, if your goal is to find gainful employment out of college.
  4. It's only fraud if you get caught.
  5. UT has a changed a shitton since when we were there. The way they teach is drastically different. My kids seem to know way the fuck more shit than I did when I graduated.
  6. Thanks but she will be a UT McCombs grad, not a Tx St grad.
  7. Cruz is doling out lessons. Physics lesson: here's an example of mass and inertia. Life lesson: here's what happens when you get in a tangle with a man who outweighs you by 80 pounds.
  8. My conversation with my daughter when she was considering being a teacher. Me: Teaching is a noble profession. But, let me ask you a few questions. Do you like having all these nice clothes? Her: Yes Me: Do you like going on vacations to nice places and staying in nice resorts? Her: Yes Me: Do you like eating sushi a few times a month? Her: Yes Me: Well, you're not doing any of that on a teacher's salary. Her: (light bulb moment!)
  9. The real question is does he look like a dude who would hang out in boys restrooms to get the scoop?
  10. Still viewed as such. For her out of state schools, my niece in Cali has UDub first because it's got better academics and UO as a safety party school with somewhat reputable academics.
  11. I've said this before. Parents and kids need to approach college tuition as an investment and choose a major which gives them a return, hopefully a nice return, for their money. IMO, it makes no fucking sense to spend $100k-$300k to graduate with an English or Art History degree where the starting salary and lifetime earnings potential is more limited than other degrees. 22 year old college grad may love the idea of being an art critic or a teacher. 40 year old college graduate trying to navigate retirement, home ownership, putting food on the table, maybe taking an annual vacation or 2, saving for wedding expenses and college tuition for the 2.1 kids is going to hate the realization of a teacher's salary. Money doesn't buy happiness...but it sure can reduce the stresses in the 2nd half of your life. And people who say money can't buy happiness are the ones with money. Poor parents never believe that bullshit.
  12. As on Olineman, I love how you can't hold a player but if you knock his ass down, you can fly off the top tight rope and land on him to make sure he stays down.
  13. Sounds like the kid is maybe trying to find reasons to stay close to home. That's fine, kid. Shit or get off the pot so that everyone can move on accordingly. Quit being an idiot.
  14. UC schools, especially UCLA pissed off their lege by admitting so many Int'l studies because of the extra $$$. Basically the UC schools were mandated to start prioritizing in-state students over out of state and Int'l applicants. From that, I know UC Davis basically didn't admit anyone not from Cali. Other schools severely limited their non-CA acceptance. At least that was a few years ago. Not sure if that's changed.
  15. Those OOS tuitions are mostly on par with OOS tuitions of most any other state school with comparable academic rankings. There's a reason some of the SEC universities' OOS tuition for Texas is so cheap.
  16. Lulz at people shitting on the UC "satellite schools." Almost the whole UC system is in the Public Ivies list. UT System can only dream of having its system schools be half as reputable. College of William and Mary (Williamsburg, VA) Miami University (Oxford, OH) University of California system: UC Berkeley UC Davis UC Irvine UCLA UC Riverside UC San Diego UC Santa Barbara UC Santa Cruz University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University of Texas at Austin University of Vermont (Burlington) University of Virginia (Charlottesville)
  17. I was thinking/hoping it was a parody and that line made me lol. I wonder how many MAGATs were thinking "Hell Yeah!" and then "...wait...what?"
  18. We can definitely go off on a tangent but anti-government nationalists idiots were/are shooting up power stations in the PNW. The survivalist, anti-government mentality is pervasive when you get outside of the major cities.
  19. I'd rather pursue Custodial Arts. You are the eyes and ears of institutions.
  20. My daughters have friends who went to non-football Cali schools. They weren't big football people to begin with so they don't miss it. However, they LOVE California, the weather, the beach/ocean, and just the whole vibe. None of them are coming back to Texas. Your daughter may miss the football but I'm sure the other things will make up for it.
  21. High concentration of Ted Ammon Bundy Anti-Gubment and Christian/White Nationalists types. edit: strike though to correct my idiocy.
  22. Unfortunately I don't think UT-System will never get close to what the UC System is. As a whole, Cali kids don't care as much about football and athletics the way the Texas kids do. As such, smart and maybe not so smart Cali kids fill out most all of their schools which help to drive investment in those schools to be Public Ivies. For comparison, I think if Texas kids cannot get into Texas and aggy, then most will go out of state to one of the SEC schools because football and athletics. UT-D is a great success story but the other Texas satellite schools are losing to SEC schools.
