    Oof.

    This is where I'm going to pitch this board on Trinity: San Antonio, and the school is rich AF. My Son has loved his time there. If you are interested, apply Early Admissions.

    During the OU-Colorado game, we were joking that there were a lot of rich Cali kids who didn't get into their first choice UC school in the stands on both sides.

    UF, like UT, strongly favors instate applicants. It's hard to get into Florida OOS. Georgia, as I recall, had a very acclerated application process. Like you needed to get all your stuff in by mid October or something. That's just a bridge too far even in motivated OOS families with a senior.

    This is one of the single biggest fallacies in Liberal Arts cost analysis: That the price listed on the tuition page is what you will pay. Virtually all quality Liberal Arts schools provide grants and tuition assistance to bring the cost down, often by over half. Premier Liberal Arts schools often waive tuition for families with incomes under 100k. If you are looking out of state, and money is an issue, and you have a bright child who is not going to quite make the 6-7% at their Texas HS, investigate liberal arts schools. Your almost certain to get a better deal than out of state public schools. Hell, my oldest is at Trinity in San Antonio, and with merit and need based aid, it ended up being cheaper than Maryland in state. My youngest is at Oregon, and out side of some merit aid and tuition lock, he's going to cost me significantly more than Boy #1.

    It’s hard to overstate how badly the Saints mismanaged their lead. Just absolutely dumbass football.

    This made me furious. I get Lanning wanted to make a statement. But he’s gonna be regretting that decision when the Huskies come to town in a few weeks.

    Totally get it. That’s why if your kid is going to look elite out is state because UT isn’t an option, don’t wait until January. Applying regular admission, even at less selective schools puts you at a serious disadvantage. Also, the longer it goes before applying, the better the chance senioritis sets in. And, as we’ve discussed in previous years: I don’t give a fuck how brilliant and accomplished your child is: all Ivies & Near Ivies are lottery schools. Do not put all your eggs in that basket.

    I’m going to give you two pieces of advice that are the single most broadly applicable things(I’ve gone through this twice in the last 4 years): 1. Apply early. You want your kids app in the pool as early as possible. As the class fills up, the acceptance standards go up. 2. Force your child to have and apply to a safety school, and possibly a deep safety. The difference between the two is a deep safety is an in state option you are guaranteed admissions and is cheap in case you have a family tragedy and money for college becomes scarce. Either way, don’t be that unfortunate family that sees little Johnny/Suzy not get in their dream achool, then it’s April and you don’t have a back up option. Elite school admissions are inherently unpredictable, so be prepared.

    UO is great, but the charm wears off pretty quick once it starts raining and you realize how much scuzzy meth life is right below the surface.

    And Phil Knight is certainly back filling Oregon’s delayed revenues for the Big 10. I will say, Eugene is kinda a shit hole. Not College Station, but it’s def not Bend. I like Deion’s confidence. If he can get this team to 9-3 and have a big offseason, this will all be forgotten. If USC pushes in his shit next week and he ends up 6-6 or worse, that transfer portal might not be as forgiving. Now that he’s popped the cherry on turning over your whole roster each year, the uniqueness of it will be gone.

    Okay. That’s just disrespectful. Wow.
  14. Bateshorn
    Ugh. That looked like a ligament tear.
  15. Bateshorn
    They had close to 140 yards in penalties. Plus a couple failed 4th down conversions. This team is super talented, but Lanning sometimes does the Tom Herman”We are too smart to do the simple smart thing” routine.

    Came in talking Shadeur Sanders for Heisman. We will leave talking about Nix.

    The Colorado punter is quite good, though.

    Lanning Mack Browned it all week. You would have thought they were playing 2001 Miami from the press conferences
  19. Bateshorn
    Emphatically no. My kid sends me a picture of whatever clown outfit they are wearing each week.
  20. Bateshorn
    Absolutely. That was a crown hit.
  21. Bateshorn
    If Lanning can not outthink himself, there’s no reason they can’t just lean on the run game and grind Colorado to dust. but that’s a big if.

    As somebody who works in politics: pandering to farmers and the agricultural community is literally a load bearing pillar of the electoral politicking. This will pass post election.

    It’s all schtick. Whether it’s real at its core or put on, who fucking knows, but having a schtick as a coach is not unique to Deion. Jim Harbaugh has a schtick (perpetual Red Ass). Nick Saban has a schtick (ProCeSs). Mack Brown has a schtick (folksy nice guy). Mike Leach was both schtick and talent. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Here’s the thing about schtick: it’s all gravy when you are winning. But it can sour pretty quick. Colorado will play an actual opponent next week and we will find out if this team is for real. It’s clear to me that Shadeur Sanders is talented AF, I’m just not sure where the rest of this squad is.
