  1. 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.
  2. I think we can/should win but anyone paying attention can see this is a worse Texas team and a better A&M team, so it is a toss up to me. I had no concern at all last year and was surprised we played with our thanksgiving leftovers at Kyle.
  3. This is my view 100% as long as speculation isn’t a dirty word, half of investments are speculation, the other half are split between say Buffett style buy good companies at low values and technical whatever algo hedgy shit MIT math grads do.
  4. Anyone who thinks this is the same aggy offense as last year isn’t paying attention. They are going to have success in the passing game. To be determined - a depleted RB room may give Texas a chance to make them one dimensional and turnovers. Reed in RPO is good, dropping back to pass not so much. Stop the run game and their play action is worthless too (we know something about that don’t we). Texas can win but Aggy isn’t the same shit team as last year.
  5. Sark has already called the plays that rely on the fake to wingo with success.There’s at least two of them plus the throw to wingo. Guaranteed he will try all three in the aggy game.

    Getting old sucks

    Take care of yourself and then get to doing!
  7. When the chips are on the table and all cards are played and it’s a clear Texas with 3 losses or BYU with 2 then I could agree with your premise though we don’t know if the committee wants conference diversity in which case the distinction may be 5-6 from the SEC is too many. But yeah in that scenario you really have to start asking questions. First post I’ve seen that makes me pause. I hope we get that stark of an answer.
  8. For sure … I have 1997 customs but a shittastic putter that oddly everyone loves go figure. Clubs are antiquated at this point too.
  9. y'all got it all wrong, play with old clubs - win / win ... either you play well or you have a built in excuse. I have a 1980's or so putter and it gets rave reviews especially when I on rare occasion read a long put well and get within a foot of the cup.
  10. 3 losses and out would be a travesty if Texas looked like a playoff team from game 2 until now. but Texas has only looked like a play off team for parts of games and not for one entire game let alone several in a row. that 98.6% chance of losing to MSU is FUCKING crazy. I don't care how talented Florida is, they are utter dog shit and they whipped ass that saturday. Georgia ran train on us the fourth quarter and we aren't even talking about the scrubs we didn't destroy, Kentucky or a terrible first half against Arky (which I actually don't think meant much). our narrative was sealed early and we never turned the tide. had we just dominated our schedule except tOSU and a freak loss on the road in a tight game against Fla and then lost by 4 to Georgia, we'd be ahead of a few more 2 loss teams NOW and a two score win over A&M might be enough. everyone is saying 3 losses, but this team isn't convincingly better than several one and two loss teams with this resume, but there is a resume with 3 losses where the committee is confronted with the fact that this Texas team is salty and could beat the shit out of anyone not tOSU or Georgia. but no one thinks that about this Texas team.
  11. drugs and surly seems like the right mix
  12. self doxxing is allowed.
  13. Kratom is so bad. I only found out about it researching natural remedies for some serious health issues to support traditional medicine, cbd, pure kava, valerian root were all very useful but adjacent to them is kratom and whoa I found a whole world of folks who’s lives have been destroyed by it. I immediately told my kids about it and how to read labels more carefully. I’m really sorry for your family’s troubles.
  14. I was wondering about that
  15. Let’s revise a bit …. Punkin pie last after a second round of aggy tears.
  16. Watching women jump out of the gym and fly like that is so awesome
  17. Aggy’s birthright - the right to lose to Texas when it matters. All is good.
  18. Block for match point that’s so choice.
  19. I play occasionally, I’m more into racket sports, but two weeks ago I got out there and struck the ball so fucking well. Damn if I didn’t have a legit par and two legit bogeys on a 9 hole twilight round (I’m a terrible putter so plus-2 on a hole is normal). so I decided twice a year wasn’t frequent enough. I played yesterday. Oof. I mean I had some nice shots but fuuuuuuck I didn’t hit well or consistently. To be fair my back was tight but I couldn’t keep my head down so I topped the ball a lot, my grip slipped 5-6 times, I got nervous didn’t breathe right or focus well enough. So demoralizing. So I have two more outings in the next 9 days. Trying to not take this too seriously.
  20. I’ll read it later actually
