See you there. Hope to lower the average age of y'all at the tailgate significantly 😜 Hook'em!

Let's goooooo!

Happy to be a part of it with my 10bux a month 🤘🏽

This. Making a good steak is fucking easy and you can source a better steak from elsewhere for cheaper than you'll get it at the restaurant because you don't need to pay for their rent, wages, and other miscellaneous fees. When I want to treat myself I go order a steak from Pacific Rogue Wagyu, pay $50 for a steak that is higher quality than any 16 oz steak you'll get from a steakhouse for under $80-100 after tax and tip and can prep it how I want and cook it how I want so that when all is said and done I am way happier with the end result than I would be at a steakhouse. The one exception is if they have foie gras, some amazing dessert, or some truly out of this world apps/sides. And when I say amazing, I mean like some creme de la creme type shit that could convince an atheist that such good shit would be impossible to find if God weren't real. Like I can make some great desserts myself, but that takes way more effort than just making a steak so I am willing to a pay a great pastry chef to do that for me. Sides are easier but still harder than steak, so hey if they got something better than I could ever hope to do I'll pay the dude to do it for me. But for steak? C'mon, that shit is easy.

Lazarus is hit or miss. They have some very solid ones and then some meh ones

I mean there's a reason he is no longer the president of Ohio State, a reasonably decent public university, and is instead the president of WVU, a school best known for their couch burning program.

I mean to be fair he is crowd sourced because his political opinions are mongoloid tier (not a left/right thing, they're just stupid) I don't think he is actually sketch.

Still haven't gotten an invite yet. Have you sent them out?

Not from IT but basically in the view of the players I met they felt the administration had largely mismanaged the NIL process in terms of giving them real support. They felt they got given some powerpoint slides with rules, a couple do's and don't, and were told "you're free to go, now". They felt like UT should be doing a lot more to help them succeed with their branding and I tend to agree with them (personally I think it would be better if we paid lip service to the dog and pony show that is the NIL rules & regs and just dropped bags, but I have zero power and admittedly zero intent to do anything other than what my Burnt Ends Surly Overlords tell me to do). Thankfully it did seem like they felt/knew alumni aid would be coming soon no matter what so I doubt UT stays behind forever, but it does mean we all need to do the work since I doubt the university will do it for us.

Good to hear. Met up with a couple of players at a bar and the NIL failures are bigger than I imagined, so the quicker we can fix it whether it be through the AD or around them, the better.

Perks of being 25: -Don't have to explain donating 120-600 dollars for make benefit glorious nation of Texas Football to the wife or anyone else. -Am not old like y'all Downsides: -Have not had the time to acquire Surly 1%er wealth yet Fuck it put me in for 10. Will probably kick it up to 50 when I'm 30.

Fade me fam. They're trying to get students to spend hours learning how to become their own marketing managers instead of just putting them in a room with boosters who will give them tens of thousands of dollars they deserve in straight cash for a 30 second video clip where they read from a script. If the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas wants to make a kerfuffle about it so be it. I am sure there'll be a USA on Bama's ass and LSU's ass and everyone else's ass then as well. Way better than playing it stupidly clean and getting shit on on the trail.

Can't see what he has in his hands, doomed If we're joining the SEC we need to do this the SEC way. The bags we're giving should be big, numerous, and heavy enough to require a Brinks truck.

I'm in

Yeah V Sattui, Stag's Leap, and Matthiason are where you want to be

ISU will never get an invite to the Big 10. OSU isn't getting an invite to the SEC. Tech, TCU, AND KSU aren't getting Pac invites. Wake and BC aren't getting the boot this is stupid. The Big XII will just poach from the American and the MWC and call it a day. They'll be the new Big East.

10 years unless we tell mouse to roll it into the SEC contract

I mean they are undeniably the best non-revenue sports school in the country. It's absolutely legit if you treat excellence in the Olympic sports as important.

I mean it's heavily weighted in favor of olympic sports due to their sheer volume and Stanford tends to churn out Olympians like no one else so...

would you be willing to do a 10 if we can only find 2? Obviously 12 is better, though if we can get it.

Reuters is pretty solid given they're just a wire service. Brookings is good for middle of the road think thank pieces. If you want decent news commentary on TV, I suggest going Jake Tapper, Fareed Zakaria, and Chris Wallace. Each of them has their own biases but at least they're intelligent and you know what their biases are and will generally learn something listening to them (but by and large cable TV should be avoided).

I heard rumors that even after that Belmont was willing to save him with a win at TCU and a bowl win. What a terrible time...

with the draft done let's see if we can find 5 more shall we?

Thank you for the GVSI call. Up 50% since Monday morning when I bought.

Cool so forward looking inflation expectation is around 2% and we've been consistently under 2 for the past 8 years or so. Looks like we'll be fine even if we run up to 2.5 or 3 until 2023. I'm not worried about a high inflation environment at all. Those who were worried about it after QE have massive egg on their face and maybe 20 years from now they will be right about massive inflation, but at that point they'll have called 30 of the last 1 inflationary spikes.
