Texas Longhorns @ Kansas State Wildcats - 6pm on FS1
Mind bottling and completely predictable. Coaching against Sark in the second half is like playing chess against preK students.

Could your eleven year old play LB? Does he mind losing some eligibility before middle school? Can he read a frickin gap? BC he could start right now on this defense.

Until the second half until Texas inexplicably makes no adjustments.

What level of violence would you inflict?
Prosecutor (handing me a paper): "Mr. Newdoc, You say you don't have a predilection for violence but I would like you to read this following post to the jury. It comes from a nefarious website called surlyhorns.com on a thread titled 'What level of violence would you inflict'."

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
And commercial rates are usually set based on Medicare rates and these have not kept up with inflation. The system is perverted to highly reimbursed elective procedures and these got put on hold during the pandemic. And there was no large honey pot the government gave hospital systems. It was all a forwarded loan. The patients and clinic filled with Covid patients put the high paid orthopedic and heart and neurosurgeons on the sidelines while hospitals paid traveling nurses and ICU docs 3 times their usual wages to have capacity to treat Covid patients. The hospital system budgets are still reeling from this situation. The government and regulating bodies who set the relative rates for reimbursement got exposed during the pandemic. Ever since the inception of Medicare, doctors and hospitals get paid for mostly elective procedural, non intensive procedures because the body that sets the reimbursement rates and hospital payments is made up of specialists with almost no primary (think wellness) care representation. So, if you really want to control the rise in healthcare prices, then you need to set up more competition in the marketplace instead of this quasi fixed price dance between the government, insurance companies and every Dick and Jane (medical device, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) that wants a piece of the healthcare pie. And you really may want to insist on healthcare instead of this sick care fiasco we have firmly entrenched.

Supply side is already suffering. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It seems some people on here don't remember the gas crisis with price controls 40+ years ago. So we need to do it with energy and health care?

Most of the hospital systems in the US are not for profit (although that can be tongue in cheek) while Texas has somewhere just north of 50% for profit but that does mean a significant number of them are not owned by "shareholders". Many have operated at a serious loss in the last couple of years. So, yes, operating budgets and personnel are being frozen or cut and patient services are hampered and the care you get will suffer or be delayed. Inflationary pressures without flexibility to change income is a major cause. This is reality and not some jaded tribal viewpoint.

It’s all going to get insane. Hospital systems are taking it in the shorts and they are waiting for current contracts to come up for negotiation. And Medicare will have to increase reimbursement or multiple hospitals will fail and close.

I wonder about the situational awareness people have that they find themselves caught in these situations and it’s too late to get out.

I think nobody thinks Texas is winning out. I just hope they don’t drop all the remaining games.

A YouTuber that’s pretty financially savy stated that on inflation, “The US is nicest house in a bad neighborhood.”

Agree but we did see defensive sets where they defended these passes well and this game cannot be put at the feet of just the D. PK needs to put them in a position to succeed or find another job. He's absolutely getting overpaid at this point.

What y'all do in the privacy of your home has no business on here. Good day sir!- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
No no no. Several on here will tell you we are all big p’s because we saw a qb that couldn’t be effective today when we know there is a serviceable one on the sideline- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC

Eventually it will because he hasn’t shown any growth in making significant second half adjustments. What a collapse.- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
Of course Sark is going to take this BS calling with his pants around his ankles.- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
The fix is in- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
Meh. Too late.- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
Ewers or Worthy. Doesn’t matter. That’s a low percentage play with the game on the line and left way too long of a FG. Horrible call.- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
You mean the ones that worked in previous games? You don’t mess with success! You put it your back pocket for next year. And God forbid you use your speed advantage. That’s not playing fair.- Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
The D can suck like OU’s D but the lack of sustainable drives by the O is killing us. - Media/$9.95-er postgame analysis articles (Week 8)
