    I think bama staying in the 5 spot realllllly helps me. I know beating Zona isn’t going to move the needle too much for Oregon but bama has the chance to hang on. Show out next week and then get a huge win for the freshman against auburn and you might just keep the PAC out. OU loses to Baylor in the CCG and we’re cooking with gas. Especially if Utah beats Oregon in the PAC championship.
  2. Sloppy game. 1-14 from 3 but 55% overall from the field. Dotson has to take better care of the ball. Good to get a win. Going to be tough in Maui.
  3. That’s a damn fine recovery regardless of whether he takes another snap. Did some charity work with him when I lived in KC. Couldn’t be a more genuine and better person.
  4. The unfortunate, or fortunate part depending on who you are is that PE brought a lot of sophistication to upstream math. Margins are definitely tighter on minerals and leases from what they were a few years ago.
  5. A little different prospective as a far upstream guy, we're seeing a lot of PE money get antsy. Lot of PE groups taking a more active role in what is being purchased and rejecting a lot of acquisitions. I specifically know of one situation where an operator is selling an asset at a loss to go away from the PE investor model and back to bank debt. I wasn't around when the banks ran away from oil last time but it seems that banks are starting to come back around, just as PE is starting to dry up. My idiotic opinion is that PE threw too much money into the industry too fast. With a 5 year window to exit. When you have $500M and you can't get it deployed, producing, and then sold then you're going to have a bad time. Guys were big time overpaying for assets to deploy capital.

    Was thinking about that this morning as well but fuck it. Let’s let it ride. We already have the bama has to win out scenario in the bet so I can see an argument that the press would make of “bama won with a backup QB. That just shows how deep and good this team is. They deserve to be in.” if anything it makes the bet a little more interesting to me. Can’t believe I’m going to cheer for bama and the SEC to get two teams in but I’m all for burning the whole playoff structure to the ground so fuck it. Roll tide ma facka.

    I like it. Win or lose, pleasure doing business with you.
  8. That’s what you’ve got? Nice add to the conversation. KU did kick players of the team, even players that just drew trouble like JR Giddens. But you’ll probably point to one example and say that’s KU’s system. Also... KU has success and generally players are disciplined save one player ever couple of classes. This is deeper than discipline. They can turn their team to a winner by coalescing around this issue. They aren’t.
  9. Tom Brady has never assaulted a fellow player with a weapon.
  10. All you need to know about the browns and their lack of success is embodied from top to bottom with their actions and comments. Jimmy haslam came out and said “we accept the NFLs punishment.” The team isn’t punishing anyone for shit. Fans throw something on the field, show their tits, fight in the stands, or shine a laser pointer and they are banned from all stadiums for life. A real leader would walk into the locker room and cut Garrett within 5 minutes of the game ending. With everyone in the room. The next day he would call up his GM and head coach and say “clearly you two have no control of this team, which is why the best roster we’ve had in 30 years is under performing. You’re both fired.” Then to make sure you get your point across you ban Garrett from any property owned by the haslam family, for life. If the ravens pick him up next year then he isn’t going to be playing in the game at Cleveland. Fuck him. The organization is a joke because everyone from the top down is impotent by choice or by direction. I know Cowher would never take the offer but you call him up and pay him $10-12M a year to clean up the mess. You bring in someone who is well respected and doesn’t take no shit to be the GM and assist cowher. You look every player in the eye and tell them if they don’t like your actions they can be cut today. Action starts tomorrow. Either come ready to play like a grown man or get the fuck out. What a great opportunity to lead and change a complete organization. Just to be wasted by the browns owner. Pathetic.

    I’m good with this except I would add that if 2 SEC teams not named bama make the playoff then no action. Thought being that if Georgia beats LSU in the CCG and they both get in then obviously bama is out My assumption is basically that Baylor or OU will be left out. Clemson will get in as long as they don’t shit themselves. Oregon is on the outside looking in unless there is chaos. I think OSU and Clemson are in. Then if LSU wins out bama is in. If they lose in CCG then Georgia and LSU. You cool with the SEC wrinkle?
  12. Dirty in today's NBA where continuation is 4 steps after a foul and you can't breathe on someone who gets paid more than $22M doesn't get you on the all-NBA defensive team just 20 years ago. The idea that anyone can be a "good defender" and dirty in today's game is a joke. Unless you foul people to hurt them you aren't dirty and ONLY the top 2-3 defenders in this league can compete with the defenses of the 80's and 90's.
  13. Powell just didn’t have enough. Probably a foul on setons 3rd to last possession. No call on Powell’s weak drive was the right call. I’m not seeing any team that is even near “elite” at this point in the season. Going to be fun to watch teams develop all year. I think every fan base in America is going to be very frustrated at some point between now and March.
  14. Seton and sparty going at it. Cassius Winston has this Kyle Lowry thing going on. Doesn’t seem dominant, scores when he needs to, is kinda fat, but is more mature than anyone in the game so he seems like he would make a solid NBA player. I can actually see him having an identical career arc.
  15. I had to scroll enough to read the caption without seeing the pic. Looks like my vomit after ramen dinner and too much bookers. Then you read about the eggs and you realize someone just ate too many deviled eggs and shit in a bowl. Fucking gagged. Legit gagged.
  16. I would 100% be behind that.... BUT... they got de Sousa for 2 years over 20k. Wiseman took 11,500. He should get a year if the ncaa is being level as they promise. Also, Jarrett Jack got 3 years over $350 for a recruit when he was a booster. By that guideline penny should get 32 years of disassociation. Further, the booster designation smoked KU with LOIC. Penny donated $1M to the school just years before he gave money to wiseman. No way you can argue that the school shouldn’t be punished. Is that outlandish? Yep. But the ncaa said they were going to crack down fairly and evenly across the sport. So what is it NCAA? My guess is they pop him for 8-10 games (as they should) and nothing happens to the school or penny. This is why the NCAA should be abolished and the rules 100% rewritten. It just doesn’t work anymore because money is clouding the judgement.

    But that’s not the narrative so that doesn’t matter. Results don’t actually matter when talking sec football. It’s eyeballs and more people in bama watch football than people in 90% of Midwest and pacific states. That’s what matters. @TXSooner518 I owe you a response. I think I have one wrinkle to put in but need to think the logic over. $20 a good friendly wager or are you thinking something else?
  18. just read a timeline of the wiseman recruitment and playing the last 3 years. There is not a chance in hell he should be playing college ball, especially in Memphis. Another issue that is being tossed around is that the ncaa already cleared him. The initial clearance is just a graded and tests clearance from the clearinghouse. There is no way they could deep dive every athlete so they speed up the process by reading submission paperwork. If rules are later found to be broken it was never going to be seen by the original clearance. Once again, Memphis should be hammered and wiseman shouldn’t be eligible.
  19. Wisemann withdraws lawsuit and is ineligible. In an effort to be reinstated. He got 50% of what KU’s De Sousa got and de Sousa was suspended for 2 years by the ncaa and KU hit with an NOA. It’ll be interesting to see if Memphis gets an NOA and wisemann be suspended for 1 year. Based on what happened at GTech with the coach and Jarrett jack (gave cam reddish $350 lap dance and had to disassociate with the school for 3 years) then Penny should be given at least a 3 year show cause. All of this is of course based on precedent. But then again the NCAA stated they will not rule on any cases until after the season... will they in this case because a star player and big money is on the line? Does the ncaa have any integrity to their word and process or only to the dollar? Find out next season on “we don’t give a fuck we’re incompetent”... or... find out in 3 days on the hit show “let’s sweep this one under the rug because we Painted ourselves into a corner so let’s just give him his eligibility”. What a fucking shit show the ncaa is.
  20. Yeah say what you want about him but he can coach.
  21. What I’m worried about is paying $10k for a car that “run great with no rust” and then getting home with the car and I’ve got to replace body parts and the engine has a knock. I’d rather spend 3k on something like that. Ideally I’m doing no engine or transmission work. Once I do some more research and identify a car I’ll probably just have my uncle fly down to check it out. He’ll point out every flaw and probably be able to estimate the cost to get it where I want it. I just want to eliminate unknowns. I’d rather know I’m going to spend $20k than think I’m going to spend 15k.
  22. And Dana altman is right there with Lon Kruger. Guys that will never get huge credit but will always be seen as very solid coaches with a few big time wins in their B+ careers. They just so happened to be at KSU at the same time Altman as Lon’s assistant.
