I dont know about that...everyone was predicting a deep recession too as rates continued to go up, inflation was stubborn, wars raging, domestic political climate uncertainty and a major housing shortage. The consumer is resilient. Paper wealth in retirement accounts are at all time highs, home equity wealth makes people feel 'better' about their standing. If you want a job you can find one, at better pay too as its a worker's market. Lots of cash earning 5% will have to go somewhere in 2025. Now rates are ebbing, inflation number was pointing positively and if you believe Goolsby, we are headed to 2%. I dont think '25 will match 23-24, but 10% in the S&P is doable. If Trump lets you write off car interest, watch for that industry to blow up. More line workers in the rust belt, manufacturing states.

yes sir. That one will be worth watching.

I shared the story with a colleague and he liked it as much as me. Great story.

shoot spoke too soon....edit function also down.

that worked. thanks.

Using firefox browser, I see notifications lit up, but when i select the globe, i get nothing. Suggestions?

Agreed, Michigan almost took it for a pick 6 as have a couple other teams this year... and seems like teams are on to that motion. All the pre-snap movement also appears to not really be generating the defensive re- alignment its designed to elicit. One thing i could see us doing is more 'orbit', where we throw to the WR motioning (ala D Smith at Bama and X last year) as a result of the defense not trailing/respecting that player as much. I believe Sark with 2 weeks will come up with more wrinkles.

He had a 12-0 season a couple years ago. They would likey have been a playoff team, seems like a good fit for him.

yeah i posted that on another thread yesterday and a poster debunked the tweet. May not be legit.

he is ready per a tweet I saw today. Said he feels comfortable. We should be good there. Bond is another question. Don't think he plays much from what I have seen. We'll go heavy to Golden, Moore, Wingo and Helm. We havent run the reverse to Wingo in a long time. I look for Sark to have some things up his sleeve if we can get it to two scores. Dabo will run some trick plays and maybe even an on-side if they have momentum. He'll try and steal a possession and play keep away with QB runs on most 3rd and shorts, like others have said , Sam Ellinger ball.

Well hell I fell for it. Thanks for the heads up. Thankfully we are not playing him, I dont like seeing former Horns do well against us.

Who is this guy?

Not sure if already posted, but we'll be playing against none other than Malik Murphy at Kentucky next season.

We do have his favorite QB on campus (or will be shortly) for what that is worth. Lot of players jumping off SS Doboer right now, so we'll see. QB situation at Bama is looking bleak until the D'ville kid gets up and running. I imagine Bama will land a transfer QB, but they may be looking at a steep drop off.

Bryce Young vibes here for sure...about the same size....mix in some Kyler Murry and we may have ourselves something here.

Big scandal. I have a pretty good Vol buddy, so i get more Tenn news than i care to admit. He got caught paying $60K to recruits and lied to the school admin about it in the process, something along those lines.

Belived that is where his dad coaches or coached.

Bump for the anti- Texas comments made today. https://www.burntorangenation.com/2024/12/16/24322826/zac-swanson-cut-texas-longhorns-arizona-state-sun-devils

A few questions for those more in know: 1. Is the Purdue DT another Trill Carter or is he a more complete prospect? IIRC Carter was a multi-year starter, maybe even 2nd team all BIG at one point...is the Purdue kid seen as a better prospect? The DT transfers-in this year have been solid for the most part. 2. Same question for the UCF DT 2. What's the feeling on Trey Moore? Returning or Draft? Would love to have him back. Dont recall if he walked on SR. night. 3. Are the Texas players Texas that portaled staying on the team through the end of the season, but are making it known now they will be leaving? Of all the guys, I know not many play a ton...just thinking about practice depth, late game subs (especially at DT) in the fortunate event we are up big and can rest guys (would obviously be a complete luxury to have that problem) 4. Havent heard of any RB transfer portal visits...my feeling is we need a back, given Blue's status as a portal risk/fumble issues, Baxter/Clark injuries, unproven depth, can Gibson be the guy etc... after DT, this need is most glaring imo

Welcome Brad! Good to have you. Defense is re-loading.

Trey Moore back for another year would be ideal. Simmons, Burke and Moore. With Lance Jackson on deck, maybe Vasek gets it together too. DL would be looking good , especially if the Purdue DT commits along with one or two others

This would be a huge pick up for us. Starter from day 1, add him to the RB room with Trey and Gibson, bring Baxter along slowly, plus the Freshmen. Assuming Blue goes pro. I think we need a back in the portal given the current ceiling/injury status of guys on campus.

I bet they lose the FR QB who played this year.

Hes going to the NFL. My gut tells me 3rd-4th round. Nice signing bonus, 3 year deal rookied min at $450K or whatever it is. Goes to a team with proven starter in those rounds...gets to his second contract and lives a nice life with several million banked. Colt, Sam , hell even Gilbert are sitting comfortably.

Sure looks that way. My first thought was it looks like the Dallas Harvey Hotel at 635 and Coit circa '84.
