  1. I don’t think it would be a loss at all if they moved. No one comes to SA just to watch a spurs game. The locals that go to the games don’t spend any money outside of the arena because there’s nothing out there, so the spurs moving wouldn’t be a loss on any local businesses. Losing fiesta, losing the rodeo would be a big loss. Not so much the case for the spurs.
  2. Ok. Southwest, central, and northeast Arkansas were all hideous. I extrapolated that to meaning the whole state is ugly. Maybe I’m wrong. I thought southwest Missouri was much more beautiful, huge trees and rolling hills and cliffs.
  3. I drove through Arkansas on a trip from Texas to Illinois several years ago. It’s one giant shithole and the 3rd ugliest state I’ve ever been to after Oklahoma and Louisiana. There was a poster here that would always hype up NW Arkansas and I always thought he was completely delusional. Maybe the trailer parks up in that area are fancier than what we have here.
  4. It’s a tiny town on the clear opposite end of the island from Honolulu. I have no idea why you would choose to play there over St Louis or Punahau.
  5. Kahuku in Hawaii has gotten several high-profile Polynesian players from the US mainland to transfer there in recent years. Not sure how or why those kids even want to move there.
  6. I will not tolerate Chien-Ming Wang erasure
  7. That was the most subdued championship celebration ever.
  8. The main actor in this was actually a walk-on receiver at Florida State for a season back in 2017. Hopefully that means the football part isn’t laughably bad
  9. The total abandonment of the “don’t field a punt inside the 10” philosophy in football over the past few years is baffling to me. Like coaches forgot how to do a risk/reward analysis.
  10. Why are these teams ranked?
  11. Lol, I see you’re part of the YouTube/tiktok video generation of football savants that never played that have popped up the past couple years. I played QB in high school and I couldn’t even tell you the difference. All I knew is when I took the snap whatever DBs were back there were about to get beat the fuck deep.
  12. We’re cooked if this does go through. We could be spending that money on infrastructure, road expansion, flood control and social services. Not a free arena for a billionaire ownership group.
  13. I think the simplest thing and what they’re going to do is pretend 2025 is year 1 of the rotation, 2026 is year 2. So everyone plays the same teams in 2026 as they did the prior 2 years. That gives the conference 2 years to come up with a new slate for everyone in 2027.
  14. I missed the part where the Rockies handed $88 million to an unproven lottery ticket at catcher, after their last superstar catching prospect just completely flamed out.
  15. As usual, in the winner’s name I will take $100 from my personal checking account and donate it to my personal savings account at the end of the year. Last year’s winner was Ryan Estrada. Chingon Trophy Watchlist Jermaine Santana-Diaz - S, Fort Bend Ridge Point (SR): Committed to Colorado State for some reason, over some better offers IMO. Sidenote, Ridge Point has a fuckton of FBS offers on their team. All just to get bounced by Katy/North Shore/Atascosita in the playoffs. Justin Morales - OL, El Paso Franklin (SR): El Paso his having probably its greatest run ever of elite talent. Morales (Kansas St), Del Valle QB Jake Fette (Arizona St), El Dorado RB Ryan Estrada (Minnesota) are all P4 commits in this years class. Keep an eye on 2029 ATH Noah Tarrant as well out of Pebble Hills, he already has 7 FBS offers. Juan Hernandez - CB, GP North Shore (SO): Devin Sanchez’s heir apparent is ready to step in for the Mustangs. Has an offer from Arizona State. Ethan Guerra - RB, PSJA North (SR): a difference maker since his freshman year, he’ll probably have a 2000 yard season in this run heavy offense. UTRGV better take notice. DK Garza - RB, Alamo Heights (SR): I’ll say it, he was a more valuable player for them than Michael Terry last year. Single-handedly brought them back into the CC Miller game in the playoffs, including an electric kick return TD. Committed to Cornell
  16. Is there a worser run org in baseball? Jesus.
  17. You guys know this is a Drake reference right? I can’t think of anything lamer for a high school kid to put on a backplate. Drake isn’t cool at all anymore.
  18. I’ve only been downtown/pearl/southtown maybe 5 times in the past 2 years. Literally actually going inside 410, obviously yeah I’ll do that more often. Lately just to watch my girlfriend play softball at brackenridge park
  19. I dont hate it here. I’ve always found the “culture” here to be overrated and watered down compared to where I’m from. But thinking about it now what was I really expecting moving out of what is likely the most heavily hispanic area of the country. I currently live around Nacogdoches and 1604, I rarely venture inside 410 as in my mind I’ve already seen and done all there is to do here and then some. I’m not a basketball fan and only have 2 friends that were both basketball fans, but they don’t follow the NBA much at all anymore after the spurs fell off. In my mind the rest of the city did the same. Maybe I’m in a bubble but it’s hard not to feel validated when you go online and see so many people agreeing with you.
  20. Half of the Yankees are clearly on the take several nights a week, more and more talk about it on Yankee social media. But go off queen
  21. In total I’ve lived here almost half my life, including the past 12 years in a row. So I think I know what I’m talking about. The vast majority of people here don’t give a shit about basketball or the spurs, especially with how bad they are now. Most people will say their favorite team is the spurs but they don’t go to or watch the games, or follow the team. Nowadays if I see a guy with a spurs tat or a bunch of spurs gear my first thought is he’s an orejon, not a big spurs fan. Their connection with the city is gone and the France and Austin shit sealed it.
  22. Us taxpayers are. Tourism is down and dying by the day, yet we say we’re going to fund this with a tourism tax? What if the money doesn’t come as fast as expected? The spurs have no obligation to pay anything for this despite what they say. The fact that they don’t want an independent analysis done on this says everything. It’s well known that taxpayers never make their money back financing new stadiums, we’re the ones that will get fucked. Several economists have laughed at the gaudy projections the spurs have put out. It’s not happenening, they’re not even a good team and the fan support is as low as I’ve ever seen in my time here. They can go to Austin for all we care.
  23. Anyone else watching the city council meeting? Revolving door of people speaking out against the new arena. Couple that with all the online chatter, I think political suicide for the mayor would be letting this deal happen. No one wants to pay more in taxes so billionaires can get a free arena. If the spurs want to leave they can leave.
  24. Alabama, probably the most consistently good CFB program of all time after Ohio State, is now done for. Got it. I had my doubts on Debauer but that recruiting ranking doesn’t lie. They’re still well above us in terms of a place top recruits want to play.
