    And their running backs frankly suck anyway (partly because their line can't run block for shit).

    LOL JFC.

    Stevenson: 29 car, 315y, 5 TD
    Sermon: 45 car, 345y, 4 TD
    Brooks: 25 car, 206y, TD

    Total is 99 car for 866, looks like 8.6y a carry.

    OU is averaging 7.9 yards per carry, #1 in the nation. #2 is Georgia at 6.8. (Texas is #42 at 4.6 ypc).

  2. StubHub will have last minute pickup booths in Dallas. Pretty sure they actually have one at the fair. Can't take it alllll the way to kick, but closer than you could if they didn't have those, and you still get to take advantage of the desperation.

    StubHub is brutal on higher price tickets though, because the fees just make ya wanna puke.

    They might play but this isn't Riley playing mind games. They're banged up. Both missed the Kansas game and their reporters were saying they would probably miss the Texas game last week. 

    The semi-credible OU reporters I've heard think that Ealy should be back, but probably not Swenson. OU has started 5 different OL combos in their 5 games, definitely something to watch for.

    5000 calories for $100 in coupons is a solid deal.  Wife, kids and I went bye week Saturday and easily spent 100 coupons per hour over 5 hours.  4 Fletchers and 2 beers set you back almost 70 coupons right there.  
     

    That's a per person minimum, not a cumulative!  I may try to keep a running tally this year, and really should be able to rack it up, since it's gonna be in the 60s instead of the 90s like the last couple years. We also usually share lots of items as a group to allow maximum variety, lots of items if you just did it yourself, you're getting KO'd too fast.  Obv everyone has to have their own Fletcher's (or 2). I had two and a Cheesy Pup last year.

  5. I'm gonna need a wetter board to fold AA with a SPR of less than 3. It doesn't take many straight/flush draws in his range to give us a reason to go with it. Also we have literally the top of our range here, the best hand we can possibly have, as I'm assuming we don't make it $12 here with 55 or 77 OOP, and even if we do, we aren't ever leading 775 is my guess. So if we are folding this, we are folding 100% of our range.

    Can't fold it against a player who is "splashy."  Give me OMC in a WWII veteran hat and yep. Or maybe someone jamming over the $100.

  6. Yeah, the best thing about the 11am kick is all the vendors are open by 8am. When we had the afternoon kick a while back, lots of them didn't open til 10, and then there were lots of lines and rabble. 

    Our plan every year: Park at the fair by 7am. Drink in the parking lot til 745 to create a solid base.

    Corny dog at 8am. Fried butter with cinnamon and honey at 820am. Food court at 830am, assorted foods and beers.

    Enter stadium at 1030am.

    Leave stadium at 3pm, head to the far corners of the fair away from the shitshow on Nimitz.

    Hang until 10pm, consuming a minimum of 5000 calories and a hunnerd dollars worth of coopins.

    I had one two weeks ago where the first game pushed and I still got paid for the second game I'd parlayed it with. Not sure why.

    If one leg of a parlay pushes, it is usually treated as if that leg didn't exist (so on a 2 team parlay, you would basically just have a standard bet on the other leg).

  8. I wouldn't play OU here. First half line maybe. I wouldn't be surprised if Brooks sits, and LOTS of 2s and 3s get lots of playing time. 49-20 type game.


    Ohhhhhh haiiiii
  9. If he has the flush draw on the QQ hand, he’s not shoving turn because he has literally 0 fold equity (obviously). He will just call the 55 on the turn and get in if he hits and fold if he misses.

     

    Also we can’t build a turn strategy around what the actual river card came. Sure, if we check back, we are calling this river. Other rivers we would fold. Other times it goes check check and we lose but save the $55.

     

    On the 88 hand, do we think they have better than us and we are making them fold it? If not we are just winning when we had the best hand anyway and losing a ton when he has an ace.

     



  10. FWIW I dig all of your plays. Didn’t see any that stood out as different from the line I’d take. Really like the AJ float bluff catch


    Almost all just absurd run bad. That said, I don’t like bet-calling QQ on 453-A. What do we think he called flop with then jams turn for a minraise that loses to QQ? I also don’t like betting 88 on A hi into 3 people and when we do and get called, betting a K turn is usually just torching money. If you bet a K hi flop and A turns then we can be repping an A to fold a K.

    I've never been to the Red River game and have no desire to go, but the enthusiasm of Shag/Surly is contagious and now it's one of my very favorite games to watch on t.v., especially with the 11:00 a.m. kickoffs.  The "Night Before" thread is always highly-entertaining as well.  Two thumbs up all around.

    Sorry you hate sports

    Ha yeah this. We have a pair of people going with us this year who just love sports, especially football, and aren't OU or Texas fans, but knew this game is on any real sports fan's bucket list.

    first place I ever stayed in Vegas circa summer 1992.  It was the Ramada San Remo back then, and it was about as low rent, $hithole a place as I had ever stayed in my then 21 years of life.  I think only a spring break trip to stay at the Days Inn in Destin Florida may have been worse.  Pretty sure when hooters took over they did noting more than put up some orange paint.  surprised hooters last as long as it did.  Speaking of which, how the heck do Ecalibur, Tropicana, Luxor and even Bally's stay open.  Those places are all absolute dogs.  

    Can't lump those properties in with Hooters. Trop and Bally's specifically have both had major renovations done. Actually feels modern and clean in both casinos, and the renovated rooms at Bally's are completely fine, with a perfect strip location.

    I didn't say he wasn't doing what every other parent does as well. Maybe putting sunscreen on your kid in a parking lot isn't the wisest choice. Once again, we all do things that aren't the safest but it doesn't mean we can't do better.

    They are trying to win Hurts the Heisman

    Ehhhhhhhh. I think they have different goals. Hurts is currently 109th in the country in pass attempts. That doesn't sound like a team airing it out to get him that trophy. He's thrown 85 passes this season. For comparison Mond has thrown 181, Tua 148, Purdy 147, Ehlinger 140, Lawrence 136, Bo Nix 125.

  15. Just found out this girl's big sister is my daughter's cross-country teammate. Just horrendous.

    And everyone needs to read and understand wood's post, hands-free eliminates a bit of the risk, but not the majority. Study after study confirms that. Just get off the goddamn phone while operating a car, period.

    Apparently in Texas you have

    negligent homicide

    manslaughter

    murder

    capital murder

    with modifiers when appropriate. 

    Sentencing should follow, and as discussed plenty here murder was her appropriate charge and what she was convicted of. So the sentence should be appropriate for the conviction. 

    If the argument is that most sentences are too heavy and amber’s is fair, then we need to be modifying a bunch of sentences and guidelines. 

    Right, and manslaughter can be 2-20. Murder can be 5-99. What that indicates is that some offenses that are "murder" are worth 5 years and some are worth 99. I think, and I think most agree, that in the overall scope of offenses that fall into the "murder" bucket, this is pretty far to the lower end of the "awfulness" spectrum. Obviously, anything that is murder will be "awful", that's why it's a first degree felony. But if you were going to compare this case to another murder conviction drawn at random, chances are very high the other case would be more heinous.

    WTF? I don't have answers to you amazing scenarios here, but what I do know is that walking into a house and shooting a man on his couch and not even attempt to save his life afterwards is worth more than 10 years. 

    Well if you are so willing to speak with such authority and conviction for what is appropriate for a given offense, you should be able to place that offense within the scope of the rest of the criminal justice system.

    Reggie Stephey drove drunk, killed 3 girls, and subjected Jacqui Saburido to some of the worst torture alive. He got less than 10 years. 

    If you give Guyger 40 years for a 90 second flash of horrendous decisionmaking, what the fuck do you give her if she plots, premeditates, and kills Sex Cop's wife so she can have him to herself? What do you give her if she was sick of Botham's noise upstairs so she comes upstairs and shoots him in cold blood?

    It's horrendous that Botham was killed, but you still have to consider the totality of the circumstances, and also what the purpose of prison is, and it isn't (or shouldn't be) just to satisfy reactionary bloodthirst and vengeance.

    So 10 years for murder is justice? Is that what you are saying?

    You never answered my questions earlier. If you think this is a 25-40 year case, what cases would fall in the 5-15 year range for murder, in your opinion?

    How much $$ would you have to be paid to start a 10 year prison sentence today?

    What is an appropriate sentence, in your opinion, for someone who is smashed drunk, goes the wrong way on the interstate and kills someone?

    For someone who looks down and reads a text, and in that moment, rear-ends a car, killing two kids in the back seat?

    For someone who is in a hurry, guns it through a red light, t-bones and kills someone?

    For someone who holds a drunk girl down at a party and forcibly rapes her?
