    Suicide rates are up similarly nationally. The top suicide states by an enormous margin are the rural west - AK, MT, WY, NM, etc. Washington is slightly below and Oregon slightly above the national median. Those regional differences w/in Washington are basically a map of economic prosperity. Anyway, back to regularly scheduled programming - didn't see it posted, but Blake Shapen committed to Mississippi State. So it could be a different familiar foe Texas sees next year. 22

    Yeah, rooting hard for Texas obviously but honestly it’s house money to me at this point. 12-1, leaving no doubt with the final Big 12 title, and a CFP berth is a categorical success for me.

    To be fair, while I didn’t expect Texas to be where it is now (and gladly continue to admit being very wrong in that), that particular quoted post was a joke in response to a Helobious post.

    Yeah I think people are getting a little too excited coming off some thrashings of truly putrid offenses. Washington’s offense is elite; they are going to move the ball, they are going to score. Texas D is also really good; they can compete, get some stops, and generally make them work for it. Beyond that, this game comes down to the Texas offense. Can they control the pace of the game? Can they finish drives? I think it’s a really interesting matchup. In many ways Washington scares me more than Bama or Michigan. Really looking forward to it.

    To be fair that ends in 2021. They have spent most of the last two years in the poll and a big chunk of this year in the top 5. They are at least to the right of aggy through 2023 I’d think. But clearly they’re not sending their best to surly.

    I’m in the 11k range, consistently get decent OU seats and got Sugar Bowl tickets in 2018. Different level of excitement this time for sure but I’m holding out some hope. Also really annoying that it takes a week to let people know. You have everyone’s loyalty point rankings and ticket requests, it isn’t rocket surgery.

    Second team All SEC. If he were an IDL I imagine Texas would be all over it, as it stands I don’t know if they’d prioritize him between guys on campus, Trey Moore, and Simmons coming in. I could see him getting a payday from aggy

    This is like maxing the recruiting skill tree in NCAA 14

    Yeah I'm sure Texas had to tamper real hard to get the attention of a kid from Austin. K.

    Well you’re bolder than I am, I’m not willing to throw down that kind of money until I know whether Texas is actually playing. These $2k prices would actually have me rethink going but we’ll cross that bridge if/when we get there.
  12. gmr548
    $850 in 2005 is worth $1,371 now so that actually sounds pretty comparable.
  13. gmr548
    Agree at first glance but in my mind I justify it by saying your team doesn’t play in a national championship very often, and doing so in the city you live in is very possibly a once in a lifetime thing. So tickets may be north of $1k but if you compare against the cost of tickets and travel, meals, etc. to any potential future national championship game, which is also not guaranteed to ever happen, it feels like the cheapest opportunity that will ever be presented to see Texas play for a championship.

    Surly would keep bidding against itself and end up offering $20MM without Sark's agent even unmuting on the zoom call because We're Texas™️
  15. gmr548
    I think it's ~20k

    There are a shitload of upperclassmen brought in by Herman contributing on this team, including most of the LOS which has really made the difference. That’s just how it goes in CFB. Sark has absolutely done a great job putting together a staff that could maximize what was there and turning over the roster to get his guys in, though. If I’m the AD I’m not necessarily rushing to negotiate against myself and extend him with three years left on his deal after this one. You are getting a relative bargain at this point, might as well see what this looks like next year. But a conference championship, especially one this meaningful, and CFP appearance is rare air as a college HC. If Sark wants to extend he’s earned a top 10-15 salary in line with that, no questions asked.

    I mean, these days you go to the NFL for the work-life balance.

    Kyler Murray and Cee Dee Lamb sat out their game against Alabama until garbage time, aka the second quarter.

    It is never not funny when politicans pander and very obviously have no idea what they are doing or talking about. That is truly bipartisan.

    The Florida Panhandle hasn’t been this hot since 1861
  23. gmr548
    Ah, the more you know. Thanks
  24. gmr548
    Already burned his shirt so that’s the only logical move. Plus Gabriel will probably just want to follow Lebby

    I think they deserved their shot and should have been in. The committee just couldn’t bring themselves to leave out the SEC though. People were worried about Bama jumping Texas because of SEC bias. Right about the root cause, wrong about how it would manifest. It’s not Texas who is in at the expense of FSU so I’m not losing any sleep over that but I’d be livid as a FSU fan.
