Post in Shaka Smart - Out at UT In at Marquette
immamac posted a post in a topic,
I guess you are right. That's not true at schools that aren't Texas. At Texas winning shouldn't be hard. It should be the standard.
Post in Fire Shaka Smart
Mdhorn posted a post in a topic,
Whatever I might have felt about Shaka and the players on this team died. Go back to VCU. You’re done in Austin. North Texas prob beats this team too along with just about every team in the tournament with a game plan. To think we were worried about seeding when they were going to lose no matter what.

Goodbye Quarks: The Onium Theory, My New Book
RayDog posted an article in 6th Street Journal,
After 32 months of research and writing I finished my new book Goodbye Quarks: The Onium Theory. In the onium theory I extend the relativistic positronium solution of Feynman and Sternglass to all particles and resonances such that all of them can be shown to be made of only electrons, protons, and their antiparticles. This theory accounts for the decay products, unlike the quark model. And it explains the masses, above and beyond the masses of the component electrons, protons, and neutrons as relativistic mass.
I also use basic quantum field theory to examine the structure and properties of electrons and protons to show that they have the same basic structure and should be thought of as two different charge-matter variations of the same basic type of particle. So my claim is that there is only one particle.
I started this as a test to see if such a model could be done and the results were even better than I imagined. The precise match of most of the masses makes me confident that the basic theory is correct even though it still needs work in some areas. The Bohr-Sommerfeld solutions on which it is based are acknowledged to be overly simplified, while still frequently within 0.5% of the correct mass.
For example rho and omega mesons are made of 4 pion group resonances which is why their masses are approximately equal to the combined masses of two pions and a kaon. Compare that to the irrational formulas used by the quark model for the neutral rho and omega.

RGBIII posted a post in a topic,
Not sure how this isn’t in the national news, let alone the texas news but there is a giant fucking wreck on 35 south in Jarrell. @immamac is currently stuck in it. The shit isn’t moving, he’s been stuck for damn near 5 hours and now the roads are iced over completely. Things won’t un freeze there till Friday at this point. This definitely needs attention, there’s a TON of people completely stuck with no way out. Try to get as many eyes on this as possible. There are a lot of people in dire need right now especially as people run out of gas..

immamac,The fancy equity derivatives vol arb thread... a.k.a. Options trading extravaganza
52-80 posted an article in 6th Street Journal,
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the road to degeneracy. Without having to reinvent the wheel, and then writing a book about reinventing the wheel, i'll just sprinkle some starter yeast and, like a beautiful acid trip, we'll see where it takes us....
Why options trading
Leverage. You can control a lot more stock for $.
Flexibility. You can play any sentiment - bullish, bearish, neutral - and you can pick and choose the risk-reward! Instead of just choosing a safe vs risky stock, for any given stock, you can choose how much you want to lever its movement.
Engagement. Options have an element of time expiration in their construction, which obliges you to stay in (somewhat) active and engaged in the market.
What are options
These are contracts that grants the contract holder the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell 100 units of stock at an agreed price, before a certain date.
It has these elements: Strike price, Expiration date
Call option - contract holder can buy ABC stock from contract seller. option buyer "calls" the shares away from sellers' account
Put option - contract holder can sell ABC stock to contract seller. option buyer "puts" the shares in sellers' account.
Options are tradeable instruments like units of stocks. For our practical purposes, we don't really worry about the above (yet). We buy when cheap and sell when high. Or sell when high and buy when cheap.
How do you price options? (i.e. what is cheap?)
If you're a nerd, you'd invoke the Black-Scholes equation. If, like me, you failed 9th grade trig, you can think of it in more simple abstract terms:
options premium = Intrinsic Value + Extrinsic Value = (Strike$-Stock$)+(Volatility*Time)
Take Apple, which is 135$ right now. How much would you pay to have the right to purchase shares of Apple for $130/share at anytime....
before the end of the week?

Post in Tennessee fires Jeremy Pruitt for cause, Fulmer to step down as AD, Josh Heupel hired
Tex Pete posted a post in a topic,
Boobs Heupel?
They’re going to have to change it to Floppy Top. Or Sloppy Top.
When PJ Fleck went to Minnesota, ESPN did the docu-series “Being PJ Fleck.” They should do one on Heupel called “Becoming Mark Mangino.” He’s well on his way.

Abolish the Fax
'stache posted a topic in Daily Texan,
Seriously, why is this still a thing? I can think of a dozen ways to send documents or files in a more efficient and workable fashion. Twice this week already I've faced issues with fax machines. My new mortgage company has to fax the form for auto debit but my office fax system isn't working right. I can't get a hold of a human to talk to for a request to just fucking email it or even snail mail. Now on another deal someone faxed something that isn't legible so I'm having to go through multiple channels to get that person to fucking email it, which I thought was going to happen in the first place. Again, why...the...fuck...do...these...things...still...exist?

immamac posted a topic in Podcasts,
My dearest Surly assholes
Hot off the presses it's our newest season of the podcast. Have a listen as @RGBIII and I discuss the firing of Tom Herman, the Hiring of Steve Sarkisian, the Assistant Coaches we are targeting or have already hired and much more!
This thread will serve as a discussion and as general feedback for the podcast. There will be another thread for a "mailbag" on ideas we can incorporate for future episodes.
Hope you enjoy this as much as we did recording it.

closetojumping posted a post in a topic,
I guess I’ll go ahead and say it: Chris Ash can lick our collective asshole, pack his shit, and head for the state border.
He was a fucking bum at Rutgers. Just complete trash in every way. He showed up here with his own brand of cronyism and mediocrity by imposing inexperienced trash on the program with the Valai hire. Valai immediately sprinted out and took a hogger-sized dump on the 50 yard line of the Texas program by being worthless as a coach and a nonentity in recruiting.
Ash delivered vanilla ice cream competence. Nothing special or unique, just gave the defense a vague hint of average. Outside of some time under Meyer while surrounded by other star coaches, Ash has amounted to sad comedy at worst and meh-relevance at best. Hit the fucking bricks, buddy, we’ll take our chances in the open market.
