Well of course….. Sharp wanted his fingers directly in the till.

On the ground floor.

“Retired General Contractor” talking about “making sure your BS detector is always set to 11”? And he is a subscriber to TexAgs? Lmao Is he the aggy that built the new $60,000,000 Allen football stadium several years ago?

Great thread full of memories! Beach Boys were awesome along with many others. Wine Wine Wine by the Nightcaps was one of my favorites in high school.

What Reagan said. Those old pump action .22 rifles are nice heirloom treasures if they’ve been treated right. My brother collects Winchester 1890s, 1906s, 61s, & 62s. That’s an expensive hobby.

“bit”, not “but”.

They’re a but rusty nowadays, but ready & willing….

If it waddles like a vodka-addled bear…….

Those may blow up my lawn, but at least they won’t shit on it.

When we were living at Fort Leavenworth 1949-50, there was a V-1 “buzz bomb” on static display. We kids could crawl all over it like a piece of playground equipment. Too bad the photo of me sitting on it was lost many decades ago.

OUsux was in the Big 8 then, not the SWC.

Them, aggy, and Cougar High. The football trifecta of cheaters.

What’s with the capitalization there?

NSIAP Saw this posted on City-Data forum about an odd attempt at soliciting the Saudis for NIL resources. befriend Join Date: Sep 2009 4,289 posts, read 2,611,378 times Reputation: 2265 Colorado was seeking to fund their NIL through Saudi Arabia's PIF fund. Long article that went through many implications of this move that I didn't copy and paste. https://www.si.com/college/colorado/...npreceded-move Deion Sanders and his Buffaloes staff have been at the forefront of innovative business ideas during his tenure with Colorado. As it turns out, NIL funding is no different. After resigning as CU’s special teams coordinator on August 1st, Trevor Reilly went on the record about trying to pull in funding for the school’s 5430 NIL collective. He expressed to Sports Illustrated that there were no bad feelings between anyone with the program, but rather he was at odds with a few people in Colorado’s administration. Reilly said he spent time in the Middle East this past holiday season lobbying Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) funding on behalf of CU Football. A copy of what Reilly says was in his resignation letter to CU athletic director Rick George and Sanders was reviewed by Sports Illustrated. "The arrangement was that, because I did all the NIL work at Jackson and got us through, you guys would pay me a modest salary and make me the Special Teams Coordinator, which should have freed up time for me to handle NIL activities," Reilly wrote. "You paid me $90,000 a year and let me handle special teams. I did all this work in your name and was told to pursue it. I burned through all my contacts in my Mormon community, which is worth about $3 trillion. Now, I can't get these people to answer my calls because I just found out today that none of my endeavors will happen. "I even went to Saudi Arabia and got a meeting with the Saudis, who were interested in pursuing business. I have email receipts to prove it, and you guys let it fall flat on its face." Reilly said he acted on his own accord trying to pull in donors. “I did nothing illegal and was trying to help Colorado the best way I knew how.” Sports Illustrated reached out to Colorado Athletics who didn't comment on Reilly's trip to the Middle East. Some of these “outside the box” concepts are small. Earlier this week, 99-year-old CU legend Peggy Coppom received a one-of-a-kind NIL deal for a “I Ain’t Hard to Find Too” Blenders sleeve. Some players outside the bigger names secure deals with local businesses. But it's about finding additional funding that will level the playing field for programs like Colorado against powerhouses like Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, and Texas. This could signal the largest outside the box thinking pertaining to NIL funding that anyone has considered. Regardless of fanbase size, boosters and donors efforts, it’s an untapped resource. A supply that could bury the financial abilities of the stronger programs in the country. It has seemed that Coach Prime’s staff has been busy looking for ways to compete with the larger NIL deals that would seem unlikely from Colorado. That is until considering an option that is not only outside Colorado, it’s outside the borders of America. Reilly on behalf of Colorado considered entering into a partnership with the PIF, which is one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world. The wealth of riches is near or exceeding one trillion dollars in value. That is a number that levels the playing field immediately and without question or hesitation. CU being funded for NIL through the PIF would render all of those larger programs’ numbers to be inconsequential. If this sounds crazy, it’s really not. The Saudi government owns multiple international professional soccer clubs outright, along with stakeholder rights in many others, including Chelsea and Newcastle United. They are also the lead backer for LIV Golf, who previously attempted to buy the PGA Tour and partners in ATP, and Formula One. Just imagine what Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter’s NIL valuations would be with that kind of backing. Even better, imagine what it might look like for the significant contributors who are not named Sanders or Hunter. This could be the sledgehammer that allows Colorado to break through the glass ceiling that would allow them to compete dollar for dollar with the bigger more consistent programs of the Power four.

Bang a Desi?

Saw this on a gun forum: Oh how I hate the human race Rabbit212 Registered Joined Jun 14, 2012 8,254 Posts Discussion starter·#1·7d ago Went to see the folks and driving home I spot two pups on the side of the road 😞. I stop to pick them up and they run into a drainage pipe so I whistle and 7, SEVEN, SIETE!!!!pups run out. .... luckily I had dog food with me and as they eat I'm scooping them up and throwing them in the trunk. It's 30 minutes to the house so I partially drop a back seat so they can get some AC. And so they escaped into the passenger compartment 🤦‍♂️ Got them home and they ate 2 cans a bunch of dry and drank half a gallon of water. Now they conked out waiting on the humane society to pick them up. Not the best solution but the only solution I have on short notice. I'd keep a few but already have 4 inside the house. Being pups they have a better chance of getting adopted. It's been a shitty day.

Just be cautious though…..
