  1. It is, criminally, and also, I think, morally. This isn't really porn, though in the sense that the victims aren't engaged in sexual activity.

    Hubris

    It was raised as a possibility on a couple of the $995 post-game posts that current offensive assistants are either yes men telling Sark the roster can run what he wants, or are ignored, meaning they tell him they can't and he doesn't listen. For whatever reason, it seems he has had higher expectations of his offensive personnel than what they can deliver. One of those explanatory scenarios is bad, the other is fatal. The OU game plan may be evidence that Sark is listening or someone is getting through to him, UK is another matter.
  3. I think the key there is that it really is tied to revenue. Not money from any source, but athletic department operating revenue. And not much of that is deployed on buyouts, I don't think.
  4. That's not an NIL cap, it's a cap on revenue sharing.
  5. There really isn't such thing as a "buyout." It's paying the balance owed on the employment contract. There's two flavors of it, balance owed less compensation earned as mitigation, and "guaranteed," meaning balance owed unconditionally. I suppose you could have a contract that somehow eliminates the legal requirement to pay the money agreed to for the term agreed to, but that would be dangerously close to an illusory contract: I hire you for X years at Y/year, but I don't have to pay Y if I fire you, so not really.
  6. I don't think it's anyone's to agree to except President Jim Davis. Obviously, Abbott, his handpicked BOR, the lege, and others are pressuring Davis from outside. And students and faculty from below. I don't think Davis gives a shit about students or faculty, that's not his remit. But someone seems to understand that this will make us look like clowns.
  7. Argentina has been "dying" for the last 50 years.
  8. Well, a leader can't be the biggest fuckup on the team. There are allowances for heart and guts, but the performance has to be better.
  9. Well, you can't prosecute them, that would be a concession that they're ordinary criminals and the strikes are unlawful. Why they're not held as POWs is anyone's guess, but might be because they weren't drug smugglers or members of any identifiable gang or "combatant." and that would be revealed during habeas proceedings.
  10. That is old, from the original announcement of the plan. It's not acceptance/acquiescence.
  11. Can I imagine? Yes, yes I can. Welcome to the world of a lawdog.
  12. A good sign I hadn't seen before.
  13. Also, y'all may recall Erez Reuveni, the DOJ immigration lawyer that was canned for admitting to the court that Kilmar Abrego-Garcia was deported in error. This is kind of old, but here's the whistleblower letter. It's tl/dr. but an inside look at the disorganized, dissembling bunch that are running DHS and DOJ. https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/06-24-2025_-_Protected_Whistleblower_Disclosure_of_Erez_Reuveni_Redacted.pdf He apparently was on 60 Minutes yesterday.
  14. Yeah, @McCroskey needs to come and tell us again how hysterical we are.
  15. That is kind of long for medically supervised detox, but not out of the realm of possibility. Is this person a long term and very heavy drinker? Alcohol withdrawal can kill you, unlike most withdrawals, which can otherwise be far more unpleasant. The people most at risk for serious complications are long term drinkers of the heavy variety.
  16. Too much to ask for a short round I guess.
  17. Those are more nuanced takes than I would have expected.
  18. No doubt. I don't think it will. But it could and playing out the season resolves most doubt. As opposed to benching him now permanently or sporadically followed by open competition in the spring and summer.
  19. I think the issue is trying to sort whether Arch is going to "get it" and be viable for next year or not.
  20. Question for the smaller-towners. We know they are overrun with MAGAts and, as a general proposition everyone is up in everyone else's business. Is there much day-to-day conflict? Are they really in your face?
  21. Well, it's funny that way. The teams we compare ourselves to have been playing championship caliber football a lot longer than we have. Including stacking recruits. Fifteen years ago we were entering our latest death spiral. Which, I might add, Steve Sarkisian pulled us out of more effectively than the last three guys.
  22. Yeah, two percenters can be pretty rabid fans without going psycho over all the traditions and delusions. We have several of them on the board. I have a lot of high school friends that are aggy and very few of them are two percenters.
  23. Well, guess you're right with the proof there. He did look better. But part of that is he was getting the ball out quicker than he seems to be capable of doing now. The problems are multifarious, since we're law dogs, and OL is certainly a big one. I just don't understand what the hell is going on with him.
