  1. Kansas playing tough. obligatory
  2. You’re a simpleton. I think Texas can win, but there are aspects of this game that do not line up for us well at all. But let’s beat our chests like gorillas instead of being educated and understand the match ups. Go pour another drink and lose your phone.
  3. @Tex Pete stop being a pussy. Ant hill out is fucking terrible news. He’s a one man game changer. Texas can win but in no universe is this anything but bad news especially going against a qb that can’t drop back and pass worth a shit but can improvise and cause havoc. Make matters worse we are down another LB because of targeting. Football is a game of matchups, ant hill vs Reed my money is on ant hill every day and twice on Sunday. But without him our LBs are mid. That’s just a fact. So the match up flips unless someone balls out like they haven’t so far this year. So stop being a pussy with your fucking neg.
  4. I’d also add if Texas would play all three phases well for 4 quarters, which would be for the first time this year, Texas wins by two scores.
  5. At least arch has been balling out and sark has generally run an offense that arch can drive down the field. I think arch gotta ball and nibbs needs a long return to equalize the loss of ant hill the guy that is best suited to spy reed. Who the fuck knows tho, maybe the OL plays well, maybe Trey Moore rises up and spies reed like an ant hill clone. this one feels like first one to 34 wins, but damn I could see this a fucking shoot out beyond the 30’s the way the D has been playing.
  6. That mother fucker is lucky his dad was there. Ungrateful shit.
  7. You completely missed my point. How one invests at least partially defines utility. Blindly dollar cost averaging into an index fund is pretty fucking stupid. Why do people do it? Because “the market on average always goes up.” Well shit, 490 of the 500 have shit returns, don’t be lazy, figure out the underlying utility and invest accordingly, you’d do a lot better. There is an underlying utility for BTC, you may not like it or you may think it’s absurd, and I get it, until 12-18 months ago I thought the same. Fuck it, there is a utility here and I’d argue not as currency but more like a commodity, and I plan to take advantage of it as I can. so instead of saying that’s crypto bro shit - and for the record I haven’t spent one minute reading crypto bro bullshit - you might ask what does it mean that mainstream investors, wall streeters, 401k plans, ETFs from big institutions coming on line and adopting crypto - at least BTC - at increasing frequency mean for investors, because that to me is the more important question, not whatever crypto bro bullshit says for the true believers.
  8. I know the young ones and some of the misguided olds don’t want this rivalry on the schedule, but god damn this scene on Thanksgiving or the day after is exactly what Thanksgiving in Texas is supposed be about. I’m quite pleased with the increased enjoyment of my Thanksgiving now in year two of this restart. This is how Thanksgiving is supposed to be. now go punch these goobers in the dick.
  9. Important distinction. It might be almost Oklahoma but it’s still Texas
  10. Whatever, I’m not a crypto bro, I’m agnostic, I kinda like the nihilism descriptor above. I know folks that think crypto is going to change the world, eh fuck that, I just want a reasonable return on investment and think assets that are non-correlated or contra-correlated are smart to have in your portfolio. Frankly, I like direct investments in real estate, private credit and private equity better than all of them. So someone else can see a facial profile of Jesus or mother Mary in the historical returns of BTC when you flip it sideways, I am not a true believer, I just want to make money.
  11. From my couch drinking coffee 4 fucking pounds heavier from one god damn plate of food and a reasonable slice of pie. Texas!
  12. Rock chalk Jayhawks baby!! when your hopes and dreams rely on a football team from Lawerence Kansas you’re proper fucked
  13. Texas is really a committee problem if there are no major upsets and Texas beats A&M and finishes fifth in the league. Vandy and OU are head to head behind Texas but higher in the CFP rankings. You’ve also got the question of diversity of conference representation. There’s no way 6 are getting in, heck 5 is a stretch. Currently Texas is the 7th highest SEC team in the CFP rankings and 5th in the standings. Shit the SEC only got 3 last year. 5, 6 or even 7? Pretty hard to see it. Not sure the “committee” is ready to call it that way. Maybe they should.
  14. It’s rivalry week just let me run with it.
  15. to be fair he didn't say they were undefeated but just ran out of time all those other years. baby steps toward rationality, baby steps.
  16. well Elk it definitely was a walk off Kyle now wasn't it you fat tub that is too fat to run or even get on the shot you dumbshit.
  17. it involves wisner running for 7-8 yards 5 times in a row at the end of the fourth quarter ending with an arch manning kneel with 25 seconds to go up by 2 scores.
  18. I'm more neutral about it but as for pure speculation if crypto is so is the market for 90% of investors. the fucking dollar is as artificial as crypto for that matter. value is what society says it is. there's nothing inherently unique about crypto that makes it (pejorative) pure speculation. outside of warren buffett style investing I think it's all kind of the same, we buy and hold because others want to buy and hold. we use this thing as currency because others use it too. we bury gold in the backyard because we know gold has been valuable since the beginning of time.
  19. that's him, not GRU though that person/bot is whew... but wasn't chickensandwich or some others swam? I think I may be confused.
  20. add GRU and there's another one is that chrispy or chicken sandwich or something like that. wasn't he a swimmer for UT I think, insufferable fella. then there are the guys that you should not fall asleep if they are near you, definitely some real off your rocker guys. head on a swivel types - yours (not you derka) and theirs.
  21. I had a paragraph about M2M and whether the wingo to the flat and the variations off that would even work. but I deleted it not wanting to engage in further discussion. I did see a video out there that most M2M teams run zone to one side with trips was the film guy I think but he didn't go into it much. I think the key is Simmons/Hill + Arch + Wisner. If Arch plays like he has been and Wisner gets 60 ish on the ground and Reed has those two in his face a few times I REALLY like our chances. I do think we need to clear 30 points to be safe. but we can win at 24 or more I think. A&M is going to score, it won't be a defensive shut out like last year.
  22. right but there's a ton of blind faith in auto invest 401k contributions to an S&P 500 mutual fund as an example. I'm not sure utility is as connected to the investment as it should across the board. I've recently decided investing may be my retirement hobby and based on some professional background value investing (the buffett way) is something I could pull off to a modest level of success and I can say in that instance utility is 100% of the equation but just because it could be part of the equation doesn't mean it is for many many investors. I think that's why the market sometimes acts like a coked out whore or a 5 year old scared of the dark, or a toddler throwing a tantrum tbqh.
