  1. Quinn for all the NIL he does and all the hype he has around him and all the talk about him sure does give fucking potato level interviews and often doesn't do media availability. I feel like a bunch of this negative sentiment comes from the general feeling that he doesn't get the context of his position on the team as a celebrity etc. QB1 at Texas isn't just about playing good on the field, that's why everyone fucking LOVED Sam. If Quinn gave interviews half as good as Taaffe people would probably have a much more positive sentiment, since he doesn't and acts a certain way and hides behind the aww shucks I'm just shy and soft spoken thing people think he's just a fucking moron who doesn't get it and isn't as pissed off as he should be about losses.
  2. go eat at a Chinese restaurant (fancy, not shitty) and order a real peking duck it generally has a lead time of 36 hours etc. It will be super delicious and a ton of fun.
  3. it's just piracy. It'll work until it doesn't.
  4. Buy small laundry hampers not big ones. When they are full they need to be washed. They aren't allowed to put dirty clothes on the floor. Problem solved.
  5. What an idiot.
  6. Things with good ticket sales are definitely 40% off.
  7. Don't think ehlinger and Taaffe overlapped at all playing wise did they?
  8. He's not in the Portal he told people he's gonna portal, Sark said yeah he's really going through a tough time but he's staying through the run. If he enters it will be in the period for CFP participating teams. It sounds like Sark doesn't want him to enter.
  9. Finkley is not in the portal guys, I think he's working with the staff to see if he actually wants to portal and that's why Sark brought it up in multiple contexts. could be that he's already made up his mind, but it seems like he's a big culture guy and the staff may want him to stay for important things off the field and reward that with some balanced playtime.
  10. He'll play plenty won't he? I thought he was pretty well regarded.
  11. I missed Finkley going into the portal. Seems like kind of a bad move for him?
  12. maybe if the season was over and there wasn't a Playoff game.
  13. yeah, she gone.
  14. Who wants to tell him?
  15. I'm not sure, no one seems to know what was going on as of Friday when I was looking for one. Its 5k to get a 20x20, 3 coolers and their TV. I don't think any of the smaller packages make much sense. With the sparse population 150 people could use that easily. That's 33 a head just for the spot, can be BYOB and picnic style bring your own food. The economics just don't make sense if you are being cheap. This isn't the cheap part of the tailgate its ultra premium. Scholz always does their thing and all the other tailgates over on the south side are just whatever. I'm not sure if best damn tailgate is doing anything and horn balls is 110+ in a terrible location.
  16. Georgia was $40 and should have probably been $60-$75, I think everyone that came would have paid that increased price. I think you covered off all the points that are perplexing here great. Next season is a long way away and I think this has picked up enough steam for people to all pitch in and organize in a way that makes this sustainable and doable.
  17. Its all corporate bullshit. None of these companies care they are just paying to have a sterile tailgate and do some marketing. Its what sets ours apart. We are literally 40 steps away from the biggest consistent pregame show in college football in longhorn city limits, I don't think your vantage point of "far from my parking so I don't go" is really a good example of what the general fan is doing pre-game. Modelo Tallboys on bevo blvd are literally $14 a fucking brisket sandwhich at LCL is $15. I don't wanna hear about the money and location excuse. We are doing something super cost effective for everyone involved. The issue is there isn't a big amount of hype around this game. The buzz simply is not there, everyone in the game week thread is talking about the season and all kinds of other shit and not even Clemson.
  18. Plus apres ski which is like tailgate and costs even more.
  19. You realize the dirt the tent is on is what the majority of the fee is for right? We could dramatically reduce the cost of the tailgate and just move it far as fuck and completely detached from campus and LCL and Bevo Blvd. It would also immediately cease to drive any kind of demand. Michigan we literally roasted a hog at gameday. We were the premier tailgate in the entirety of Ann Arbor. That's a huge part of why people come though, it's equal parts food, location and that we are actually a football centric tailgate about talking ball or nerding out about teams etc. Its entirely a money thing - if we had a budget we could maximize it. Right now I'm basically just a rich guy with a tailgate and we recoup a bit here and there. It's my tailgate, and I very much want it to be the communities tailgate. It's expensive. It's time consuming. It's hard. People just wanna show up and have a good time they don't wanna have to worry about shit etc.
  20. Stadium was full for Colorado state too. No one was out partying though. ULM was a bit of buzz cuz of arch and still meh. UTSA always shows out and it was OK. Kentucky people barely bothered to come before. Georgia was insane. Everyone came early and all day. This is the FIRST playoff game at DKR. Face value of tickets is more than regular season tickets. It's an ultra premium event. Nothing should be just a normal tailgate with a few beers and a hot dog. It should be absolutely massive - it's the first time Texas has ever played Clemson. It's at home. It's for the new CFP. There has never been a higher stakes game played in DKR, ever. It's completely absurd to me that anyone even gives a shit about $100.
  21. Soon to be out starting nickel.
  22. I think anything else would be criminal unless Quinn blows everyone out and is in victory for the next 4 games.
  23. I don't think price is was the issue. I honestly think a lot of people are barely gonna get away with going to the game. Family commitments are real around this time of year and I feel like many people will be driving/flying in the day of because last minute hotels in austin around the holidays are also fucking impossible. Everything was working against this game instead of it being really hyped up and well organized everything even from the AD side of things is a complete clusterfuck of epic proportions.
