  1. Pretty high. Their working on a $1.5 Billion contract payable through 2075.
  2. Doing some extensive renovations to Rice Stadium and the surrounding area. I think Rice is a cool place to still be playing FBS football but man anytime I tune in there looks to be maybe 1000 people in attendance. The price of $120M seems way low for what looks like tearing down an rebuilding an entire side of the stadium and adding all sorts of stuff around the area not to mention there is probably still some 75-year old infrustructure that needs to be completely replaced as part of the work. Surely those dorks did the math correctly. https://www.chron.com/sports/college/article/rice-stadium-renovation-21143934.php
  3. LOL, my comment was going to be, maybe she finally took her lithium. Regardless of what’s happening she can literally go fuck herself and if she’s serious about helping the country she should voluntarily disappear. If she was crazy before, fuck her, it led her to a career as a lawmaker where she treated people like shit and used her position to harm others. If she was faking before, fuck her for having no values whatsoever and just playing political winds. If she’s really seeing things different now, fuck her still, she should at a bare minimum apologize for being a complete cunt to so many people, and then should, as I said, fucking disappear. There’s no reconciliation tour from her past. Not as a lawmaker at least. Maybe mend some personal relationships but stay the fuck away from government of any kind.
  4. Lol, the average weight of all involved in the fight has to be like 250 lbs. and that might be below the Odessa average.
  5. I think the issue is the suggestion that ā€œcheck in on your loved onesā€ and ā€œreach out to someone if you need helpā€ has never saved a life (0.00%). That's not possibly true. You don't think there are situations similar to this where a girlfriend/spouse/parent/sibling/etc. was able to talk them out of it in the moment? The advice also isn't limited to the minutes before the act is accomplished. There are many situations where people spiral for months and even years before making the ultimate decision and succeeding in taking their own life. Again it can't be 0.00% that one of those calls didn't intervene at the right time during that spiral to get someone on the right track and avoid what might otherwise end up in suicide. It's also not possible that 0.00% of people in this state of mind ever listened to advice to reach out to someone if help is needed. Otherwise, the point that our country doesn't take mental health seriously enough is valid. There is certainly a lot of talk about it in the last few decades but our infrustructure around it still sucks shit, especially for people who are poor and cannot check themselves into a facility or otherwise seek professional help. From a broader perspective there are things in U.S. society that cause these issues even for successful people with financial means, including our insistance that everyone must participate in the rat race, and even people with decent salaries struggle with housing costs and financial security. It's the dumbass ethos of "rampant individualism" that has infected the US that makes people feel weak for even questioning their own mental health and often looks down upon people asking for help. There are volumes to discuss on this issue and leads in some respects towards CR so I'll just leave it there I guess.
  6. Yup, these contracts always include that language, except for desparate aggy contracts. It goes to the question "why settle"? Both sides want a clean break without the need to calculate or litigate whether a coach complied with these relatively vague standards i.e. "diligence" "appropriate" "good faith" and "reasonable salary." It's a situation where both sides know at the time the contract is entered into that it is vague and expectations are to negotiate a settlement if required.
  7. Unless he donated his brain for study I don't think we'll ever know. Maybe his family can donate it if they want to know? I think it's a fair question but should be answered only if the family wants to know.
  8. Knees got weak from the aura of that BDE.
  9. He prefers ass kissers who don’t faint like sissy’s during his press conferences.
  10. Yup, tons of women in this stupid country who are all on board with being subordinate to their husbands.
  11. I did not know that, just looked it up and you're right. Players can still opt out I assume and preserve a redshirt if they have it available. Gundy was fired after game 3 so anyone who played in those games could sit out and preserve the redshirt (again if they had it available).
  12. A 30 day window opens after the firing but they can also enter the portal during the regular period. We had some guys enter the portal after Gundy was fired but are still playing. I guess the advantage is to put yourself on the radar of other teams to see if they want to make you an offer after the season. Still can’t transfer mid semester as far as I know.
  13. We're like 25 years into the word "socialism" being thrown around outside of what it actually means, and now "communism" is going the same way? I really wish Bernie (or whoever came up with it) used a different term than Democratic Socialism. What he and 99% of the "super progressives" are advocating for work within the capitalist economic system. It's about regulating capitalism and taxing enough to ensure people have a bare minimum quality of life in which they can eat, have a roof, and see a doctor instead of dying from curable ailments. Even rent controls work within capitalism (something I'm not a big fan of but at least it's something). The closest I've heard of his policies is opening some government owned grocery stores but they would be in competition with privately owned grocers so what's the big fucking deal? I've never heard any politician or candidate of note suggest that the government take over Walmart, Mansanto, Ford, etc. The closest I've heard, in fact, came from anti-socialist ultra-capitalist Donald Trump who had the government take ownership shares in Nippon Steel. Unless and until we can start using these terms correctly there is no hope in my opinion. Just scary buzzwords that are now entrenched. The right wing meltdowns about Mandami are pure fucking insanity, literal breaks with reality.
  14. The fit doesn't feel right but yeah I'd take Franklin in Stillwater if he wanted to coach here.
  15. Terrible. Had to have been more than fear of DUI, but who knows what was going on in his head.
  16. I’m pretty sure he posted something after the Kirk murder that was wrong. Also they’ve had access to these files for almost a year now, anything negative has been purged. Whatever gets released, if it ever happens, will have no mention of dotard or any of his friends. I expect nothing from these files I just like that it pisses him off.
  17. Did Disney give them money for that? It’s just an advertisement.
  18. I’m sure all of the people earlier in this thread who were so mad that people called republicans fascists and nazis and blamed it for Kirk’s murder will be here soon to condemn all the elected republicans posting that Mandami is a ā€œLITERAL COMMUNISTā€ and using pictures of him next to the 9/11 attacks. Right? Right……?
  19. I think it's the opposite. I think Dotard is right that its because he was not on the ballot. It's a fucking cult, and he's a unique personality that cannot be replicated. My hope is that the fat bitch dies soon and that a significant portion of the elctorate loses interest again and sit on their fat asses during future elections (if they actually happen that is(. None of the polls matter, he would win again, in a landslide. Some may be upset about the shutdown, maybe Epstien, but trans panic is all it takes for them to vote for him and straight line R while they're at it.
  20. I’m with you in sadness, it’s truly horrifying what this world has become. Charlie Kirk becoming famous on the internet by shitting on other people to the extent flags were at half fucking mast and it became a crime to criticize anything he ever said is a prime example. For me personally, having a place like this to cope through dark humor has some therapeutic value. I sure as hell don’t participate in stuff like this publicly or irl other than a few group texts. From a broader perspective, always being told to take the high road against people who are literally destroying peoples lives for being gay/brown/etc. and shitting on them constantly through hateful and violent rhetoric is fucking exhausting.
  21. Okay, so it looks like Woodard was already at LSU when Jimbo's extension was made, but his original contract with Woodard was fully guaranteed with no offset (unless google ai is wrong which it very well could be), so if that's correct, he should still take some blame since the term was already out there. Plus, I'm not sure how libel works when the facts are easy to verify, which is why the "actual malice" standard is so high for public figures. The media clarified it already. Woodard is also getting a buyout so what's the big deal? If he's really a good AD he should have no problem finding another AD job. This still sounds like the ramblings of an old man. Fine to be unhappy about the situation but lawsuit threats sound empty and strange unless there's something else going on that isn't mentioned in his rant. https://www.wfmj.com/story/53210582/lsu-athletic-director-scott-woodward-ousted-4-days-after-the-firing-of-football-coach-brian-kelly
  22. I cannot figure out what he's mad about and what he thinks constitutes libel. He's mad about the likely new president, okay. He appears to be mad about Brian Kelly's firing but doesn't mention that, he mentions the AD, and something about Jimbo's buyout, but it's true that the AD was at aggy when Jimbo got his contract, so what's libelous? He sounds like a rambling old man at this point. If William and Connolly actually file a suit for him I suspect that would tell what he's actually mad about. I also assume they would represent Woodard, not sure what Carville's standing could possibly be.
  23. So is Mandami the anti-Christ or the antiest of anti-Christs?
  24. With all the bs going around these days, the state tariff is quite literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s so fucking dumb I don’t even care to nor should I have to explain every point of the ridiculousness. Even if he was joking that might make it stupider. Please, I’m begging, make this stop already!!!!!
