  1. Hi UT Tennis Fan, I am going to keep this brief, as we need to get focused on the task at hand. Our team once again showed great Texas Fight yesterday, and picked up 4 singles wins in straight sets after dropping the doubles point to Wake Forest (full recap of our 4-2 win over Wake Forest in the semifinal). Our NCAA Championship match will be at 4 pm today in Stillwater (preview). If there is any chance at all for you to be here, our guys would sure appreciate it. This will be the last team match for what has been a very special team. Thanks for all your support throughout the season! Hook'em! Sincerely, Bruce Berque
  2. Yeah, you're wildly off base here. They actually implemented AI fight tracking in this fight. System works really well. Can tell the difference between a jab and a power shot. It can tell if a punch gets blocked. It's, quite frankly, amazing. Has Usyk winning by much wider than what we got on the scorecards. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1cvak65 If you just want to go by CompuBox numbers, well, Usyk won there, too. https://www.boxingscene.com/compubox-stats-oleksandr-usyk-tyson-fury--183645 Plus, one guy was past queer street into Willy Wonka's Wonderland at one point and was only saved by the ref getting in the aggressor's way and then the round ending after getting a standing 8 count. That guy wasn't Usyk. First three rounds were close, Fury took the next three, and then Usyk (as he always does) took the back half of the fight while also knocking Fury silly. Definitely deserved the win.
  3. They have multiple tables. Only 1 was open? I walked right up to a $10 min table around midnight last Friday. My favorite near strip place to gamble. Makes me realize I never came back and did a trip report. Here we go: Stayed at Waldorf which I remain a big fan of. Quiet and nice center strip location. Your wife will like it. Great for a work trip. Would not recommend for a guys trip. Never a wait to check in which is nice. Top floor skybar under renovation so only a small area open for now but still a good place for a pre-dinner drink. Super chill (no-party) pool that we went to for a bit Friday afternoon after landing. Fri Dinner: Catch @ Aria. My 2nd time but had been several years. Was actually really impressed (much moreso than first trip for a work dinner). Everything we had was great except for branching out and trying a mojito pre-dinner drink which was awful. Server saw our reaction and immediately took them and offered our choice. Good service. J. Timberlake Concert: Tons of fun. His pre-concert DJ may have been just as good. Nothing but 90's and 2000's jams he knew his audience. T Mobile is a great venue for anything. Ellis Island: Great as always. Grinded on a craps table for a couple of hours and think I cashed out +$60. That's a win. Crack Shack: Ok, this is a place I found on my last work trip. Convinced my wife to ditch the fancy brunch we had scheduled and hit it right next door for chicken sandwiches and champagne. Really good shit. Circa: So we went here for Mavs game 3 v. OKC (12:30 local start). I bet $500 on the Mavs and got a $450 minimum spend daybed. We know how that played out so daybed and lots of drinks were effectively free. We did NOT hit our minimum (I did my part, wife couldn't hang) but great afternoon. Stadium Swim is phenomenal as is the sports book in the casino. After leaving we walked down the Freemont St. experience and I lost $100 or so at blackjack in some casino. I don't think I have been downtown in 15+ years but was very impressed with what they have done. I think we are all in on staying at Circa next trip and just doing 1 night trip to the strip. I like (but don't love) to gamble and tons of "Eliis Island" equivalents downtown. The steakhouse at Circa is supposed to be great as well for a good meal. Dinner: Somehow made it to Pieros. It was solid as always. Kind of a blur. I got my Veal Parm and we got a pasta dish and salad and split it all and left a lot of food on the table. Stars game started so had to leave. Beer Park: Still my favorite (only place I know not a sportsbook?) to watch a big game. Great bar setup. Bellagio fountains going. Stars win. All fantastic. On way back I drag my wife through Planet Hollywood and find a craps table. Tread water a couple of rolls then guy at end of table has a massive roll. He finally crapped out when I had over $500 still on the table but I took $650 off before that. Probably should have seen how far the Mavs, Stars, Craps heater could take me but was done at that point so tipped dealers, cashed out and called it a trip. Great time as always. Love that city.
  4. Wish we would have taken the doubles point because it doesn't look like WF has any shot of winning 4 singles matches. 3 is in play but that's still going to be difficult it looks like.
  5. We still going to win. Av’s goal minder has been playing out of his mind back half of 3rd and OT
  6. I’ll say it’s pretty dumb to dig a hole so fucking deep that after winning a few games late and going all “gee whillickers we have a chance!” late in the season anyone chooses to engage in a circle jerk
  7. Yes, 100%. Which sent us to hell. You seem to think that if we don’t fight back, we’ll magically teleport out of hell. We won’t. Once one side chooses violence, then the rules of the game have been set. That’s why some of us decried their descent into that insanity at the time: once you choose that path, you’ve chosen It for everyone. That’s our entire point. They shouldn’t have done it. But they did. And now there’s no going back. So…fight to win. This. MTG is one of those stupid gym rats who thinks how much they lifted in CrossFit routine XYZ means they’re a badass fighter. AOC knows that you win fights by fighting dirty, cutting her ass with a broken bottle, and spitting on her when she’s on the ground crying.
  8. Let’s go Houston. We need a win.
  9. Eliot with the 7-5 second set win off we go to the third let’s gooooo!
  10. Got the Epson 5050ub projector in yesterday. Took down the old Panasonic projector that served us well for a decade and put the Epson up on the same mount. I thought I would have to buy an Apple TV 4K but then figured out the one I had was already 4K, it was just the earliest version that was released. Changed all the cables to HDMI 2.0. The automated lens shift made it so easy to align everything perfectly. There's some ambient light that gets in our room but still it looked great when I fired up the projector. Then night time came and it was spectacular. The 4K videos I watched looked amazing. Mostly they were the demo type stuff you see at Best Buy but there were also some clips from Avengers and Top Gun Maverick. Also watched the Mavs game which was very nice. I have a few 4K movies on the Apple TV that I added back when they were just blu-rays that came with digital versions. I am very happy with my purchase. I think we might go up on the screen size but I need to do more research on what works best for this projector. I believe my existing screen is 1.1 gain. I may look at if an ambient light screen would work. I also might look at either black out curtains or replacing our existing blinds with ones that block out the light. What are some other sources for HDR and 4K content? I know you can get a 4K blu-ray player now but that seems a little redundant when the Apple TV can get 4K content. Most of the current providers I use like Disney+, Apple+, and Hulu offer 4K and HDR. I know stupid Netflix makes you go up to the higher tier to get 4K. Forgot to add, got a giant win as the wife was actually shocked at how much she liked watching 4K content on the projector. I thought it would be something she would just have to get used to but she really enjoyed it right away.
  11. Most of this is stuff Cavs fans suspected going back to last season- it's just out in the open now: Koby ‘berated’ J.B. in his office after the Dec 18th game where Donovan played 45 minutes: “The immediate aftermath of that night was confusing. For instance, Altman was unaware at the time he was scolding Bickerstaff that the coach had asked Mitchell if he wanted to come out, according to league sources, and Mitchell declined. Yet, Mitchell was absent from the court for Cleveland’s next four games due to what the team called a non-COVID illness.” “Multiple league sources have said, for months, that Mitchell did not have great confidence in Bickerstaff, and he was not alone. Several players questioned Bickerstaff’s strategies, game management, practice habits and accountability measures, privately and publicly, throughout the season.” “Allen’s extended absence, which stretched more than two weeks, caused frustration toward him in at least some corners of the organization with teammates and staff members who felt he could have done more to try and play.” “Furthermore, rival executives believe the Cavs will have to seriously evaluate the fit of Mitchell and Garland and ultimately may have to choose one or the other. Should Mitchell decide to stay long term, sources briefed on the matter say Garland’s representation, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, would have a conversation with Cavs officials on potentially finding a new home for the one-time All-Star.” “The Cavs seem to be at their best offensively with only one big on the floor, but internally, the franchise believes Mobley’s situation is rare. The focus has been on winning games, not necessarily fully developing his talent, like most players selected third receive in their first few years in the league.” Following last years playoffs: “Multiple veterans in the Cavs locker room grew frustrated with Bickerstaff for treating the Cavs as a young team with much to learn, instead of as a team ready to contend. They were also less than enthused by the Cavs’ offense last spring and into the first part of this season. Mitchell was among them. Players would leave practices and morning shootarounds wondering aloud: “Why did we even do that? What did we accomplish” — so perplexed by the lack of structure and intensity in the workouts.” Bickerstaff’s usage of Mitchell, league sources said, was a reason Mitchell provided when declining an invitation to play for USA Basketball last summer at the FIBA World Cup — a refusal that went a long way toward his exclusion from the Olympic team. With his team down 1-0 in the series to the Celtics, Bickerstaff made an observation about Boston before Game 2 that left members of the Cavs organization perplexed; it seemed as though he was making an unfavorable comparison to his own team.
  12. Hi UT Tennis Fan, It has been a busy few days since our big NCAA Round of 16 win over Texas A&M, but we made it to Stillwater and have already gotten a few practices in on the match courts. We are now set to play our quarterfinal match vs Tennessee tomorrow (Thursday) at 4 pm. For a full preview, including links to live scores, streaming, and Cracked Rackets Broadcasts on ESPN +, please click on this press release. And if you would like to check out the interview that Eliot and I did yesterday please click here. I know Stillwater is not typically at the top of everyone's destination list, but it would be pretty cool if we could get some friendly faces in the crowd to support this team on their final run! Let's go! Hook'em! Sincerely, Bruce Berque
  13. Just caught the Monday Show. About to go to bed, so really quick thought. As with most games - really hard trivia - glad to see some tough FJ!s make the game interesting. With the win Mattea stays alive. Just a reminder that 2 are eliminated and 4 advance to the Semis. Victoria (13) and Yogesh (10) are locks into the Semi's Matt Amodio (1) is out. Before we go forward: The matchup's Wed are: Yogesh, James, Matt and Victoria, Amy, Mattea Scores are: James 6 Amy 5 Mattea 5 James is locked in by virtue of the tiebreaker of right answers, he is 30+ correct answers over Amy and Mattea, so there is virtually no way for him to get caught by some combo of Amy and Mattea finishing 1-2. Basically whoever finishes better between Mattea and Amy is the final semi-finalist.
  14. You keep saying this. All that tells me is that you have no idea what you are talking about. But, we are not going to win out from here, so you can keep telling yourself it was a possibility.
  15. Sweep Kansas and win Big 12 tournament would put us at 40-20. Probably 20s for RPI and in top 15 of polls. We would either go to Indiana State or Santa Barbara or maybe be hot enough to host.
  16. It does not, yet. The only thing that matters right now is Kansas. Win the series against Kansas and Texas is a 2 seed come tournament time regardless of whether they go 0-2 in Arlington or win the tournament. Lose the series or get swept and then the tournament becomes more important because you made it matter, not because it inherently matters. So I agree that by the end of this coming Saturday the tournament could matter. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not running out an already banged up Ace Whitehead to try and win a tournament championship that has little to no effect on where Texas gets sent. If we win it because other arms stepped up, great. As far as where we get sent? Where the 2-4 seeds in regionals get sent is often a numbers game with how many regionals there are in a specific region relative to how many teams qualify for the tournament in that region. For example their are only 7 teams on the west coast in the RPI top 70 yet their is a scenario where they could get two regional hosts which means a few teams would have to get sent out there to fill those regionals. Or if they only get one regional then some of those west coast schools are getting shipped out. Especially given the fact that UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine play in the same conference, as well as Oregon State, Arizona, and Oregon.
  17. These are the kind of leaflets that are given to moronic soldiers of the Russian army to motivate them not to retreat. Move forward or you'll go to jail for 10 years. It's better to kill yourself than surrender to the enemy. And only thanks to God’s chosen Vladimir Putin can you win. Kneel before him and kiss his feet. This is no longer an army, this is a cult, the likes of which we have not seen for a long time, this is Aum Shinrikyo multiplied by 1000. Who would have thought that such a medieval approach would be possible in our era?
  18. And we are done for the day. Cohen's Monday afternoon testimony, Part 2: We are finished with a day that matched expectations: Michael Cohen has testified that Trump directed him to make the hush-money payment and signed off on Allen Weisselberg’s plan to repay Cohen. Cohen will return to the stand on Tuesday, so prosecutors can conclude their examination. After that, it will be the defense’s turn to cross-examine him. Cohen exits the stand, taking his empty water bottle and plastic cup with him. Michael Cohen testifies that Trump, as president-elect, was busy with meetings around time. Yet he and Allen Weisselberg went into Trump’s 26th floor office to discuss the reimbursement plan, he says. This is an important piece of testimony. It not only paints a pretty wild split-screen image of Trump dealing with the fallout from his hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels while putting together his administration. It also drives home the fact that Trump knew about the scheme to reimburse Cohen for making that payment on his behalf. Michael Cohen is explaining why he was owed $180,000, instead of simply $130,000 for the hush money. He says that he was owed $50,000 — an amount he admits was exaggerated — to pay a firm called Red Finch for “tech services.” He tells this story in his book “Disloyal.” At least in part, the services were Cohen getting a computer programmer to buy IP addresses in order to rig an online CNBC poll to make sure Trump ranked among the most influential business leaders alive. Allen Weisselberg then doubled the $180,000 to $360,000. Weisselberg, Cohen says, expected that he would lose half of that money because it would be taxed as income, and was making him whole, even after taxes. The irony of the “grossed-up” description, which Cohen says was Weisselberg’s idea so Cohen could take the money as income instead of reimbursement, is it cost Trump double what it would have otherwise. Michael Cohen is now at the beginning of the portion of his testimony that focuses on false business records. He’s describing his notes with Allen Weisselberg working out what he was being paid for another matter, and how he would be reimbursed for it. We are now, again, looking at Weisselberg’s handwritten notes on the reimbursement to Cohen. We have seen these at least once before, while Jeffrey McConney, an underling of Weisselberg’s, testified. But now, Cohen is testifying that he was in the room as Weisselberg made these notations on how to repay him for the hush money, as well as his shrunken bonus, and other things he was owed. This document, prosecutors say, leads straight to the repayments to Cohen, and the false documents used to disguise them. Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, one for each of those documents: 11 checks, 11 invoices and 12 ledger entries. Michael Cohen says that he went on vacation and that Trump called him while he was away to say hello. But Trump also said to him then: “Don’t worry about that other thing, I’m going to take care of it when you get back.” Cohen says he understood Trump to be referring to his bonus. But later, he says, he met with Allen Weisselberg, who told him that Trump would reimburse him for the hush-money payment. Trump, who has rarely looked at the witness stand today, was looking in Cohen’s direction as he recounted this conversation. It’s impossible to discern how the jury is processing Cohen, to restate a recurring theme. These jurors have been here for several weeks now of testimony that has overlapped at times. By eliciting a detailed account of Michael Cohen’s feelings of betrayal here, prosecutors seem to be anticipating the defense’s plan on cross-examination to paint him as an embittered ex-employee with a grudge against Trump. They would rather get the story out themselves now to lessen its sting. After Michael Cohen describes having wanted a position as a personal lawyer to the new president, which he didn’t get, he begins to describe not having received a significant bonus. What prosecutors are leading into, in short, is that Cohen was very angry and disgruntled in late 2016. Jurors know that like David Pecker before him, Cohen was an ally who had the ability to hurt Trump. So as the prosecution leads us toward the reimbursement of Cohen, it helps to show how angry he was at the time. “Angry,” he said, asked how he felt about the minimal bonus. “Very angry.” Cohen, describing his anger at seeing his bonus cut by two-thirds, almost sounds angry all over again. “I didn’t expect more,” he says of his bonus that year, 2016. “But I certainly didn’t expect less.” Cohen says he took his fury out on Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, and that Weisselberg told him that he’d be taken care of after the holidays. Trump’s eyes had been closed for quite a while, but a brief expression of what appeared to be pleasure crossed over his face as Cohen describes Trump stiffing him on his end-of-year bonus payment in 2016. Michael Cohen also says he preferred being Trump's personal lawyer and remaining in New York, doing consulting work. And this is important: he is describing how being Trump's lawyer opened “doors” for other clients. This is also something that Trump’s lawyers are going to home in on, that Cohen was benefiting personally from his association to Trump. Susan Hoffinger, the prosecutor, asks: “Did you think you could monetize” being Trump’s personal lawyer? “Absolutely,” Cohen responds. Cohen is delivering this testimony — in which he speaks candidly about making money off Trump’s name, something that Trump despises when anyone who isn't him does — while looking directly at the jurors. Few are looking back at him. Most are taking notes or otherwise looking down. Trump’s eyes are closed and he appears to be sleeping, as he has through most of today. We’ve moved on in testimony to Trump winning the presidential election. SUsan Hoffinger, the prosecutor, asks Michael Cohen if he still had a role at the Trump Organization after Trump won. Cohen says no, “because my service was no longer necessary.” He says he turned down the role of “assistant general counsel” in the White House. Hoffinger asks Cohen if he was disappointed that the job of chief of staff wasn't offered to him. Cohen says he didn’t want it, but wanted his name to have been included in the conversation. This is meant to inoculate him on cross-examination, when Trump’s lawyer inevitably says that Cohen was simply disgruntled about not getting a job. Cohen goes on. “I would have liked to have been considered.” He says it was “solely for his ego.” When Cohen says he was offered the role of assistant general counsel, Trump looks at his lawyer and shakes his head. This bit about Cohen being discussed for a White House counsel job is accurate, for what it’s worth. Michael Cohen is talking about discussing with Hope Hicks the article revealing Karen McDougal's hush-money deal, which came out days before the election. When Hicks testified, she acknowledged that it was ironic to be testifying about this exchange she had with Cohen, which focused on whether or not the McDougal story was being picked up by other news outlets, at a literal criminal trial that stemmed from the publication of this story and the one about Stormy Daniels. Trump is back after the break with some of the members of his entourage. Senator J.D. Vance seems to have broken off from their group. Trump is examining a piece of paper he is holding close to his face and doesn’t glance over at Michael Cohen as he walks to the witness stand.
  19. The draft is shitty at the top but it’s relatively deep, especially with foreign guys that could hit and become something incredible which seems to happen every 5 years or so. Take the win. That being said, I’m down for a blockbuster. Just be patient. The list of guys available this offseason is going to grow dramatically in early June. Someone said Ingram upthread. Would you trade the third, another future pick or three, Green, and FVV for Durant if Phoenix decides to blow it up? I mean, that is wishcasting, but a few guys like that are moving this offseason. We just don’t know who yet. What would you give up for Jimmy Butler coming home? Not as much. But we have the assets to do a lot of different things. As far as I am concerned, depending on who is available, no one is untouchable, not even Sengun. But circling back to first paragraph, I am cool drafting best available on board, figure out your lineup by mid-January and make a trade then for Giannis or Booker or whoever becomes disgruntled and is available then.
  20. Three years ago we finished 8th. If we beat Everton, our point total (89) and GD (currently 61 and will improve with a win) would have been enough to win 19 of the 30 PL seasons (not counting last year when shitty finished on 89 only because they showed up drunk from partying after clinching with a few to go). So proud of this group of guys.
  21. Aggy being 16 was BS. It should be Bama or TXST hosting instead of Bama Itll be interesting to see us in OKC. Scary but hey, if we want to win it, we have to go through some damn good pitchers. Every team will. OU would have to go through Pickens and Gotschall and the Mizzou staff is pretty good too
  22. Trying not to be too debbie downer, but if we make it to the WCWS (which I think we all fully expect), I could easily see us dropping one to Canady and then Kilfoyl (as we did during the season), and then our season is over. But whatever, if you want to be the best, you gotta beat great pitching. I just don't trust our bats against top notch pitching. We tend to go into a shell and swing like idiots. Also, while it's hard to bitch about the #1 seed, I will. At the super level, I see why the committee gave us A&M, but that matchup is kinda bullshit when you consider, say, Tennessee draws fucking Alabama, who finished like 9th in the conference. Their RPIs are similar, but I watched some bammer games this year and they are not very good. Plus A&M took 2/3 from them at their place. Oh well. Just win.
  23. I think we lock up a 2 seed today with a win and not going 0-3 vs Kansas next weekend. I think if we win both series and win a couple of games in the big 12, we will be a high rated 2 seed.
  24. I do not give a shit about “fair” when it comes to wealth, I give a shit about quality of life for citizens and outcomes. If tomorrow I could wave a wand, and 320 million Americans had the lifestyle and opportunities of someone who makes 500k per year while 10 million Americans made 1,000 percent more and all had diamond crusted shitters, I’d call that a win. I have a problem with rising CEO compensation only as it creates bad outcomes and not because of some idea of cosmic unfairness. I think we should try to calculate the cost of doing what we want to do to provide people with a dignified life and then go collect the taxes to pay for it because I don’t see how setting a “income limit” gets us there.
