POOOOOOOOOOR AGGY!

Dooooooomed.

It don't make a shit. If Arch starts, aggy gonna get McIvor'd.

Chill, y'all ...

Hey, that OPEC+ deal started April 2020, but when did it end? I can't find it in any searches, but judging from the prices on that chart, it was for 2 years and I guess it ended Apr 2022?

I mean, I wouldn't do it if I had a billion $, but I'm not Mark Cuban. He seems to give a shit & seems to like spreading knowledge rather than hate and division. I love the way he keeps things simple and relatable. If not him, we desperately need people like him in elected offices.

So when does Cuban run for office? I'd love to see him debate some of these knuckleheads.

Texas 34 aggy 20 passing: 287

If/when we beat aggy, what are the chances (if any) that we play UGa in the SECCG and then again for a 3rd time in the playoff?

Yep & their absolute biggest play of the night was the result of obvious targeting that went uncalled. Unreal.

Yep. It was wide open.

Yeah, este.

Yeah they should look at that in the off season. Either (a) if you get a warning, you can't call a TO or (b) there's no warning in OT, only penalties.

That seems fucked up.

So Georgia got home field and SEC refs?

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking too. I loved it on Thanksgiving, but the enshitification doesn't want us to have nice things.

Like I been sayin', MAGAts are the real RINOs.

So, anyone know if we're getting T+1 back anytime soon?

Probably real, similar to what we started in UT NROTC in the 80s, with an annual relay run from Austin to Dallas to deliver the game ball for TX - ou.

I think Checo's time has passed, at least in a car as aggressively on the edge as that one. But I don't like to think of it as developing the car to suit Max. This is what the engineers would like to do with every car. They want it pointy af, and then they can make it more manageable in setup. It's just that the drivers can't handle it, being human beings with limitations of their own. Hell, they'd probably go further than what Max could handle, too, if they could, but there's no point in going beyond what your #1 driver can handle and maximize in terms of performance. The argument from #2 drivers that they were disadvantaged because the team built the car to suit the lead driver is as old as F1, but they're really just building the fastest car that they can - that their best driver can handle. If there's a wider gap between that team's #1 and #2 drivers, then the #2 suffers more as the car gets more on the edge. It reminds me of the old coach's saying about athletes: "I'd rather have to dial back an overly aggressive player than have to get a kid to play harder".

Exactly. I remember way back, long before I really got into F1, a coworker who did some racing was talking about what makes a race car fast around a track. He said the more stable a car is, the more limited it is in terms of performance. He talked about needing a car to be inherently unstable at the start in order to really be able to change direction well, which is absolutely critical in road circuit racing. I couldn't get my head around that for a little while, knowing nothing about it at the time. It seemed counterintuitive, but now it makes perfect sense.

Yep, we talked about it some here a little while back. A twitchier, more 'on the nose' car will generally perform better because it changes direction well, so if the drivers could handle it, the engineers would make the car as twitchy as possible to extract the most possible performance from it. The problem is that every driver has a limit to how twitchy of a car they can handle. Otherwise, the engineers would make every car super-'pointy'. Apparently Max's threshold and ability to tame that twitchiness is off the charts.
