    What the fuck are you talking about, weirdo? It's not like I flew to fucking Canada and interviewed the guy. I quoted an article. I assume they have access to text or email records. If they don't and their quotes are based on an interview then they're shitty fucking journalists and they guy is cut out. But if written correspondence exists in which the "leader" of the group says that they'll charge him a higher interest rate, then he'll likely win, in my opinion. In any case, it seems like this guy's a bum if all of his "best friends" are willing to write him out of their lives for $4500 each.

    To me, this is the crux of the matter: That implies that he's in.

    The person who attacked him wasn't trans. It was a reference to the hot water Chapelle's in for previous anti-trans jokes. Chapelle's a genius, but he has some backwards-ass takes from time to time. Seems like the dude wants to make sure everyone's a little pissed off at him all the time.

    I feel validated....

    50% help win recruiting battles. 50% peer pressure and being told by everyone that you can't bitch about recruiting if you don't donate. I need to be able to bitch about recruiting.

    He was the number 1 available portal guy last week. He was the number 25 overall ranked portal player according to 247.

    1) I think you're being kind of paranoid. If every single loose pit bull was out there mauling 15 year olds this thread would be updated more frequently than once a year. 2) If you live in a neighborhood where people are driving around golf carts, you've probably got both an HOA and a leash law. Take it to the HOA and ask that they enforce the ordinance. 3) If you don't have an HOA and you observe the puppies off-leash again, perhaps ask her nicely to make sure that when her dogs are outside, they need to be on-leash. Maybe make up some bullshit story about your little sister being attacked by an off leash dog (don't say pit bull because that will trigger the "pit bulls aren't bad dogs" response from the owner) when you were kids, and that's why you are asking her to do this - because of the trauma from your childhood. 4) You can also just call the cops/animal control if you see them off-leash.

    Sure. But I would think that if someone we were worried about losing actually submitted the papers, then we would probably have heard it from one of the $9.95ers to drum up clicks.

    Wasn't May 1st the deadline to enter the portal and transfer without sitting out a year (unless you're a grad transfer)? If so, I don't think there are many players who will be transferring that aren't already in the portal.

    This is what happens when bumpkins find money.

    Fun fact - Mathis, a dude that had 4 sacks last season, will make more than everyone but the head coach and OC on the Nebraska staff.

    Let's all say it together - "There is no such thing as true NIL to the NCAA".
  13. irishtexan
    You're misunderstanding my point. All of these efforts matter. They've had a major impact in recruiting talent to Austin. They've very good things. I'm saying that structuring these NIL deals in a way that conforms with existing NCAA regulations doesn't seem to matter to the NCAA. What's going to happen is that boosters are going to give millions to an "NIL collective" which will then have the opportunity to recoup those investments with individual NIL deals. And whether or not those investments are recouped will not matter.
  14. irishtexan
    I mean, yeah, ideally. But the NCAA has already shown it's not going to police this in any meaningful way. That's why Aggy's laughable "NIL" shenanigans in the last class are going to go completely unpunished. I know you've done a ton of work to keep things on the up-and-up. And it's very commendable. But it doesn't seem to matter.
  15. irishtexan
    I wonder if the thinking was that giving Mathis $600k+ sets an unrealistic floor of what players should expect to be paid at Texas. If it gets out that that Texas paid him that much, then Jaylan Ford and Alfred Collins and Kitan Crawford are all gonna think they deserve that much. Etc. That's too high a price to pay. But it doesn't really matter because they're still gonna say "Mathis got that much from Nebraska. You should pay me the same or I'll find someone that will." Shit's bananas out there....

    Closest rain gauge on hydromet says we got 1.04 inches last night around 1:30am. I slept through it all and I'll fucking take it. Edit: minutes after I posted this it started to rain outside. Into it.

    In free agency there are contracts. With the portal there are no contracts. It’s chaos. The plus side is that we are probably the most insulated program against this stuff in college football if we can figure this shit out. But there’s the rub… Also, other teams need to want our players. So it hasn’t really been a problem for us.

    There is typically exceptionally-high quality South Austin MILF scenery at El Alma. Which makes sense because if there was ever a restaurant created for women, it's El Alma. Total chick restaurant. I'll endorse Matt's (with food) and Guerro's (without food), and add Perla's and Fresa's (just don't order a $30 roasted when you can get a better one down the street at El Pollo Rico for $10)

    Did you get drunk at dinner? If so, that would explain why she was driving and why you totally overreacted. Just go with "I got drunk at dinner" and leave it at that.

    I use Marcella Hazan's basic red sauce recipe because she knew more about this shit than I do and it's easy as fuck. Good canned tomatoes, onion, butter, salt. That's it. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015178-marcella-hazans-tomato-sauce But, as is the case with any sauce, church it up however you want. Want to leave the onions in? Cool! Pull em out and pop em in a blender and throw them back in the sauce. I've done that before. I've made it with garlic. I've thrown fresh basil in there or even dried italian seasoning. I've put a cup of wine in and let it reduce. Whatever. But really, it doesn't need to get more complicated than this.

    One kid saying she saw her mom pinch her sister and intentionally exclude the sister is not enough to overcome all the other questionable bullshit associated with this case to create a firm foundation for "beyond a reasonable doubt". There's still a fuckton of reasonable doubt here. But since you're a "white men have it hard these days and brown people have it easy" guy I know I'm not going to convince you otherwise. Anyway, glad her execution was stayed.

    Because he might be a flake? And also, looks like Guilbeau is gone this year. Not next.

    Apparently Fitlump rents a shitty apartment and the rent is going up $500 a month and she's upset. She's gotta be the only council member that doesn't own her own home

    Been raining pretty steadily since 8am here at Bill Cannon and West Gate.

    Yep. You should call the NCAA about this egregious violation of rules. Free ice cream?!?! This will not stand!
