    My brother and I compete on these every day.Β 

    The rule is you have to use the Wordle word as your first word on quordle and octordle. Made it a little more challenging.

    I do that often, but I don’t have a brother. The other times, I try to use a beginning word that I’ve never used before. Both of those strategies probably cost me extra guesses.Β

    My recollection was that they quietly put out feelers to Urban but were rebuffed.Β  Can't help but think we dodged a bullet there, given his meltdown in Jacksonville.

    Don’t forget the hotel room curtains.Β

    Yep.Β  The way CDC handled the Herman termination and rollout of Sark was telling.Β  It was obvious that we had professionals in charge, and CDC knew the assignment.Β  He didn't tip his hand by terminating Herman and then broadcasting to the world that Texas had an opening.Β  That alone allowed Texas to negotiate with some leverage.Β  Sure, there were rumors that Herman was going to get fired, but that just comes with the territory at a school like Texas when the football program is underperforming.Β  Nobody except those in the know knew that we already had Sark locked up when it came time to show Herman the door.

    Indeed, aggy had no plan - they just decided to shitcan Jimbo on a whim a few weeks ago and hoped it all worked out.Β  That's a textbook case of magical thinking, and magical thinking almost never works out.Β  Perhaps Elko will work out for them in the end, but I wouldn't take those odds.Β  They're probably about the same as me winning the lottery and getting to sleep with Kate Upton.

    So Urban really was a myth?

    I guess I’m fascinated by the game theory aspect of all this. In an Economics class, the prof said that the assumption most Economics is based on is β€œpeople make decisions in their own interest”. This conference realignment highlights flaws in that assumption- administrators that have a lot of power, but will only govern for a few years, make short term decisions that have negative long term implications.Β 
    So, fans enjoy storming the field and giving shit to players. Coaches enjoy voting Texas down in a poll. ADs pressure a conference to limit promotion of the biggest brand. All decisions that have a near term benefit. Then, when Texas leaves (and it was hard- a lot of time to wait out the political situation, a lot of money), it hears, β€œyou selfish asshole! And, hey- what about the tradition? Didn’t we have some good times?”

    All of these TV ratings highlight just how much free riding was going on.Β 

    Good post, but except theΒ β€œpeople make decisions in their own interest” part didn’t mean people will make those decisions based on rational, long term thinking.

    Big asterisk on Wordle today. My sister and I exchange Wordle results every day, including screenshots of our guesses. I’m always careful not to send my screenshot until she solves. Because I’m on CT and she’s on MT, I’m almost always the first to solve. However, today she was the first to solve and automatically sent her results and screenshot of her guesses, which of course includes the solution. So I recreated what my guesses might have been had I not seen the solution before I started solving. There is no guarantee I would have actually guessed that. In particular, I think it unlikely I would have guessed the middle letter so early.Β
