  1. Any Caleb Love interest?
  2. The take that this isn’t the perfect or ideal hire, but it’s the right hire, is the right take. It’s not that hard. There isn’t a better available candidate out there whose advantage over RT exceeds all of the headaches of going through that process and the negative repercussions of not hiring RT. I felt differently 3 weeks ago. But this is how I feel now. NIL and NBA pipeline respect will supplement some of the deficiencies Terry may have had at FSU or UTEP. He has shown himself to be a good system coach this year. Our offense looked better than it has in over a decade. He has had his ups and downs in game but, fuck, I am a Duke fan and Coach K had his ups and downs “in game” since 1999. He is going to have to hit the portal hard this year. I think we are an attractive option for a lot of kids. Let’s ride.

    Fricking gut punch from city of Austin shutting Mopac down to one lane on way home. Poor Redes. He’s never going to score for us, is he?
  5. Correct. That monster showing against Pedo St is throwing people off I think, particularly on the national scene.
  6. Jacquez is Jawesome
  7. Wild what happens when they call fouls.
  8. Guinness looking at it for longest goal ever.

  11. Another one……. In our remodel we replaced all of our gas appliances with electric and contractor capped off gas line to kitchen….. fine. One evening after we took possession of house we had strong gas odor that wouldn’t go away. Wife called 311 and AFD followed by Texas Gas Company came out. Long story - there was gas detected but no leak after pressure testing, but…... Texas Gas came and asked us where the gas was capped off in kitchen. Shrug from me, so we called contractor. He said capped off behind new cabinetry, good night. Texas Gas said they can’t access it and until they can see it and confirm it’s properly capped or disconnected, our gas is turned off. We scramble another solution with contractor’s plumber next day to cut off gas line from a point outside, so kitchen is completely disconnected. This is in lieu of busting open our brand new cabinets so Texas Gas can see the capped line. But now our kitchen is completely disconnected. Contractor wants me to pay for that work to disconnect the pipe. My view is that they covered up access to confirm it was capped and it’s on them to fix so that I can have gas and heat my house again. Thoughts? I am pretty pissed because now our kitchen is disconnected from the gas completely so it’s a pain for future owners if they want gas appliances. Contractor maintains they didn’t have to provide accessibility to the capped off pipe and they just did me a favor to help get gas back on.

    We are wasting two DPs. We need to give Rigoni the Pochettino treatment next window and go get the best CDM from Europe looking to make the move to US. Not sure how to fix Ring being a DP. That was always a mistake regardless of how important he has been. Does Teen Wolff have a national team tourney this summer to up his transfer value so we have some money to spend? It’s still early and I see this team as middle of pack low playoff seed at this point. But we have to bury Zardes on the bench as nothing but a high energy/ last 15 minutes guy in the summer heat, and get Urruti back in there with Fagundez and Driussi.
  13. If Duke can get by a not full strength TN today, things are opening up for them. They should beat FAU/FDU and if they don’t, shame on them. The top half of that bracket was not ideal for Duke as Purdue and Tennessee aren’t great matchups for them. KSU, Marquette and MSU are all pretty good matchups, though. I like one of Furman or Princeton to win today and will be betting money lines on both. I also think there is good value in the Maryland money line at +330 if Miller truly isn’t 100%. One of the 1s will fall and for some reason I don’t think it will be Houston.

    And Tyler Adams isn’t even on it.
  15. No shit. I was riding First Time lift in PC with my 5 year old today multiple times and his ass is at edge of seat leaning on bar watching the slope style course skiers and I just picture him slipping right through under the bar.
  16. Wrapping up spring break in Park City. First time I’ve skied in 24 years and first time for my kids (wife passed on skiing due to recent surgery). This place has killed it. We splurged on an AirBnb just up the stairs from 501 and Main on Woodside and brought our nanny for the 5 and 9 year old. First day of ski school was a clusterfuck but we figured it out. Have gotten to ski with both of my kids the last 2 days and it’s awesome. And it is like riding a bike (although don’t tell that to you quads and knees). I hit the peloton and did squats and lunges 8 weeks ahead of the trip and it still didn’t prepare me fully, but better than nothing. Was doing blues again after a day and got some powder in Wednesday. Just have to know I’m not 21 anymore and enjoy it. Can’t wait to get back in the annual (or more) groove. And if you have celiacs in the family like I do, the restaurants here are on point. Just make reservations. Like weeks in advance. we will be back.
  17. I mean if no high growth pre-profitable company could get bank debt we’d be in a really boring fucking place right now innovation-wise
  18. This. And it's why things got a little scary when the other players in the market like Bridge, Signature, and PacWest (who acquired Square1) started taking shrapnel . These banks have found a way to help the high growth/pre-profit tech companies as they try to hit exit velocity. JPM, Wells Fargo, Citi, etc do not ever lend to these companies. They should, but they don't. They all have dudes running around the Valley and Austin saying they are trying to connect to emerging companies, but they just want the founders for their wealth management teams and then the exit work. It's really important to the venture backed model that things stabilize and these other banks, who were all inferior to SVB in market share, come out of this still able to lend to Series A and B companies that are pre positive EBITDA. And I agree Thiel deserves scrutiny. I am not a bankruptcy attorney or any kind of litigator, but if there is any potential claim against the VCs that initially started this run, I hope it's made. Would love to see the emails from Thursday morning come out in discovery. I am doubtful, though.
  19. Same. SVB has had its issues in the past. They kinda flubbed PPP for instance. But they’ve stood behind and been flexible with distressed borrowers in the past. They are a predictable, reliable, and reasonable lender in the venture space all the way up to LBOs. That certain influential VCs stabbed them in the back like this, and that is what happened, is fucking devastating and those same VCs have had their portfolio saved by SVB over and over again.
  20. What a shit show of a day. Something needs to happen quickly or the panic is going to infect PacWest, Bridge and Signature. Things are fucking nutso.
  21. Sorry. Unfortunately work got in the way and couldn’t free up in time to catch the tube over. Ended up at a Chelsea watch party.
  22. In London tomorrow night. How hard is it to get back to Mayfair from Dagenham after the game?
  23. So my guess is DJTJ never puts him in a public place without sycophants but if he were to be in a press conference would love to see some plant from John Oliver or some other show ask “Tell me, Don, because the public wants to know, since you’ve been with Guilfoyle, what is the oldest and richest GOP donor dick that she’s sucked and is that person the same person? And follow up…. Did you watch?”
  24. So Kelce was prett fricking good. The American Doll sketch had me rolling. Still working through skits this morning.

    Keller didn’t make the bench. Was this Teen Wolff’s first full 90? If Ring is a real CDM I like having him, Perreira and Wolff on field together along with Kolmanic and Gallagher. Seems super small though. Liking 15 so far. Would like to see more of the dude that came in late to see if he is value add.
