  1. the best people It remains to be seen whether their incompetence will ultimately enhance or mitigate the disaster, but it is clear we're not dealing with a competent bunch (shocker)
  2. I really do hate the owner equivalent rent stat. It's been a pet wonky rant of mine for a while. CPI absolutely lags on rents. Private sector data shows rents have been more or less flat nationally (some markets up, some down, based mostly on how much of a supply surge has been experienced locally) for like 18 months. It's only now just starting to tick up meaningfully above 0.0 and probably won't really ramp up until we get toward the end of this year.
  3. Some of y'all have gotten used to playing a bunch of upperclassmen on the OL/DL and forgotten what the physical gap between 21 and 18 looks like on the lines. It wasn't that long ago we were on the wrong side of that. The Ohio State transfer has a good athletic profile, worked for years under a top tier DL coach, saw some limited depth snaps on a loaded defense, and was in the mix for more there next year. That's a take every time. You want to bring Terry & Co - if any of them demonstrate physical readiness to play - along like you could with Collin Simmons; who by the way, is an absolute freak and very much an exception to the rule. You don't want to be counting them as foundational pieces from the outset.
  4. Also worth noting that at least in WA, the I-5 corridor from Olympia to the Canadian border, including areas outside the Seattle MSA, is pretty blue; as is the Olympic peninsula (weighted toward the eastern portion but that's where people live). Bellingham, Kitsap County, Mt Vernon, Olympia, Port Angeles, etc. Tertiary cities that pad the margin. Seattle MSA sets the floor as the blue state even if everywhere else went red but it's the rest of Western WA that cancels out the rural areas and makes it really blue. Obviously micro level the trend is still cities = blue, rurals = red, and that's true in eastern WA too. South of Olympia on I-5 until Vancouver is basically the south with more white people in my limited experience lol
  5. I'm not getting at a political reference (they're obviously intertwined), I'm talking about the idea that long term rates can be shrugged off. They index most of the industry.
  6. Arch is probably going to make some absurd plays and head scratching mistakes in pursuit of a few more. I'm excited to see what the offense looks like with a credible vertical threat. But really next season's result is directly correlated to how well we shore up the interior lines in the wake of major talent/experience departures on both sides of the ball. The next seven months are going to be lots of circular discussion that ultimately lands there.
  7. This is a hell of a take in the... *checks notes* Real estate thread.
  8. He referred to Biden as the President. Trump is another cuck that admits Biden won in 2020.
  9. Y'all are getting sucked in by the political futureman and that's on you at this point.
  10. What the Texags did I just read?
  11. I'm glad the Walmart family doesn't care about college football.
  12. Going beyond any value judgment on the larger policy, the idea that POTUS can simply hand wave away appropriations passed through the legislative process and already awarded to various projects around the country is obviously very bad on just a basic, functioning society level. Welcome to the clown show boys.
  13. And Michigan State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech off the top of my head. That post is a bit of a stretch lol.
  14. Eh. We're their opener too. He and Knowles have played one another several times so I don't know that either team will be catching the other fully off guard, but of course there's no tendencies with a new team and QB. Ohio State will no doubt be loaded but we'll also be the more experienced team (though breaking in new talent at critical positions too). Neither outcome would surprise me but I'm certainly not willing to concede it as a L. The fun thing about the expanded playoff is that you can just enjoy a competitive early season nonconference game for what it is and not worry that your chances for a championship have tanked before you play a down of football in conference.
  15. Just because aggy has never been in this position doesn't mean they wouldn't be worse.
