I don’t disagree with you but he’s the best we have right now and if even half the team gave as much of a shit as Sam did we wouldn’t be this fucking garbage.
Sam isn’t the best QB to ever come through here but damn if he isn’t the best player on this piece of shit team. He’s a dude who loves the shit out of this university and really wants to put the team on his back and win. If even half of our scrub players had that attitude we’d be a shit load better. Sam is one of my top 5 favorite horns of all time
I don’t mean that - to be clear I’m talking about the attitude that somehow Texas is above hiring someone like Urban Meyer. Like we have some sort of moral authority and Urban for some reason in his past doesn’t fit our “standard”
I’m gonna paste what I wrote in the urban thread
Lol. I want Urbs as much as anyone but you are all nuts if you think UT would ever hire him. It’s been made painfully, obviously clear over the past decade or so that we are not a football university. I appreciate that our school keeps the value of my degree high, but the trade off is we will never be an Alabama type program. Urban does not match the perceived “culture” of our “forward thinking” university. You guys are setting yourself up for disappointment. We will keep Herman another couple years, hire some middle of the road non-proven coach who exemplifies the “values” of our university and repeat

Year 4 of suck under Herman. The trends are there. It’s the same bullshit every year. It’s not going to change long term. Fucking bummer because the big 12 is such dogshit this year. Should have been an easy b12 title run
Hahahaha. Big 12 is absolute warmed over dog shit this year and we are still gonna get prison fucked by OU and one other random 5-7 big 12 cellar dweller
I stand corrected - rep to you and gsoda. I am digging in further as well, as even with the profound demand destruction I just cannot accept that every trader woke up today and finally realized "well, nobody is gonna buy this shit so I better dump two days before expiry." This has been in front of every trader's face for a month now. The exchange glitches definitely contributed. This will be a hell of a case study one day.
Couple things happened today -
1. As of last week, the etf USO held approx 25% of May contracts. An ETF can't take delivery of oil, obviously. Someone somewhere lost their job over this, probably multiple people. Since expiry is tomorrow USO was unwinding into a long squeeze and just getting donkey dicked. This move was not organic and suddenly every trader in the world woke up today and finally realized there is no demand and no storage.
2. Concurrently, both our brokers, CME and Barclays were unable to execute buy orders at negative values. The software was not programmed on EITHER EXCHANGE to allow purchases for negative values. So in the span of 15 minutes or so I watched the price freefall once it broke zero down to -$35. I have to imagine that problem was not limited to our brokers. There will be massive lawsuits after this.
Just for funzies i have a picture of my screen when the spreads were >$60 and flat price was -$35. Maybe I'll get it framed once this shit is over.
Better off really. I am lucky to work at a good company with a solid balance sheet in the midstream sector. I actually just got a raise Apr 1, but I am aware this is not most people's experience so for that I am thankful. Not eligible for the stimulus but again, thankful for that really. I am glad people who need it are getting it.
Another positive for me is that while my 401k is down about 15% YTD, my brokerage and other accounts including an old Roth IRA are humming nicely and are more than making up for it. Being at home all day has given me a chance to have a second career as a day trader. Just between Monday and Thursday of this week I was able to nab >350% profit off AMZN calls. Up until the last week or two, this was one of the most predictable markets and riding the up trends with calls and down trends with puts has added a good amount to my non-401k accounts.
Finally, I am really enjoying being home with the family. My daughter pops her head in my office a few times a day and comes to see what I am doing. It's a nice distraction.
