Why is that surprising? Baylor has a long and storied history of letting predators loose on campus.

2024 Fall Camp Thread - Bubble Wrap ALL THE RB
Why wouldn’t he be? He’s been here since the winter, had 16 sacks last year, and was being heavily recruited by Ohio State, Bama, and Texas in the portal. It would be noteworthy if he wasn’t starting.

I’m very skeptical Liberty stopped RBR from cutting Checo. It seems a lot more likely Carlos Slim got word and told RBR they’ll have to refund the $30ish mil he paid them for Checo to have a seat this year, and RBR had to reconsider if Danny Ric or Lawson are a $30 mil upgrade for 12 races. Narrator: They are not.

2024 Fall Camp Thread - Bubble Wrap ALL THE RB
I don’t think this ever happened. Barron got hurt during Fall camp and wasn’t fully healthy at the start of the season. I’m pretty sure he was always the starter over Guilbeau when healthy though.

I’m honestly wondering if they’re trying to lose the WCC to get more wind tunnel time over the offseason. That or Horner just being on a massive power trip are the only two reasons I can think for keeping Checo. He’s been so, so bad.

Put him in the calculator. If Brandon Harris feels confident in landing him, then that’s good enough for me.

Formula 1 2024
Same. This is a 2010/2012 type of season, except that Max has a bit too big of a lead in WDC, but there are legitimately 3-4 teams that could win a given race and no one knows who will be fastest at each track. I’m rooting for Max to have a DNF just to get the WDC closer. That would make this just about the perfect season, which is crazy considering how last year went. Danny Ric getting in the RB and at least being competitive would be a fun addition. It would be really cool to see him win one more race.

As the resident Leclerc stan, it’s my duty to point out he’s been driving only the 4th fastest car and he’s finished 4th and 3rd with a pole the last two weeks. He had a rough stretch for a few weeks, but he’s gotten basically everything possible out of the car the last two weeks.

2024 NFL free agency/off season thread
Except this is a 5 year deal with 140 guaranteed and the money he will actually see from this deal is only about 10% of the cap. His deal will be re-structured way before he ever sees that last year and probably the last two years, which is why the OP was asking Texzilla why he cares so much about the signing bonus and what Love actually got paid versus the cap impact. 4/220 is just agent spin on this contract. Only $140 is actually guaranteed, which is what really matters. Realistically, this is a 3/86 or 4/128 deal, which will average out to about 10% of the cap over the life of the deal. If Love proves to be great, then his next deal will be massive, but this one isn’t actually that crazy. If Love is bad, then the team will have to restructure and push the cap hit out, but they’ll be screwed no matter what if he sucks and there’s no avoiding paying your QB. Love also has less guaranteed money than Tua, which means Texzilla’s bullshit comparing the Love and Tua deals is also completely wrong. Tua will be hitting the Dolphin’s cap for $60 mil in years 2 and 3 of his deal. That’s absolutely crippling for a team and why the Dolphins had to cut/let go so many of their other stars, yet Texzilla claims that deal is better. Love’s deal is way better for his team than Tua’s, because the Packers can be competitive for the next 3-4 years with the QB only taking up about 10% of their cap.

2024 NFL free agency/off season thread
Texzilla hates to see players get paid. He’s a simp for the owners. He spent all last offseason rejoicing at the idea that Lamar Jackson wasn’t going to get paid and claiming Lamar had made a huge mistake by not hiring an agent, only for Lamar to sign a record-setting deal.

I’m guessing it’s the last part you mentioned. The upgrades usually weigh more at first so they can make them cheaper and quicker and confirm they work. The probably didn’t account for the extra ballast needed.

I don’t think that one was for weight. IIRC, it was plank wear due to the bumpy COTA circuit.

Formula 1 2024
Pretty crazy that George was the only one to do the one stop. Have to think a McLaren or RB could’ve pulled that off. Sainz was talking about it, but ended up pitting. Spa continues to be one of the best tracks out there. Enough DRS to allow for overtaking but not enough to just breeze by. I was really surprised to see George hold off Lewis and Leclerc hold off Verstappen and Norris for the last 6 or 7 laps. I was preparing myself to see a Leclerc pole turn into a P6. Seems like overtaking needed to happen on new tires. Once tires were about half way through their life, they lost too much traction behind to overtake even if that driver was faster.

I doubt Ferrari have the pace to win tomorrow, but a damn fine job by Leclerc to put the 4th fastest car on pole. And nice to see him do it in mixed conditions where he and the Ferrari have struggled recently.

Hell yes. I look forward to Oregon fans shitting themselves every time there's a rumor Moore will be visiting campus for the rest of the cycle.

They're the favorite to win it. They're averaging beating Red Bull by over 10 points per race since their upgrades in Miami. There are 12 races left and they're only 51 points behind. Unless RBR has a huge upgrade coming (they don't) or Checo/his replacement make a massive jump in from, McLaren is the clear favorite.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Opponent BA of .278, WHIP of 1.49 and ERA of 5.64 doesn't sound great, but he's got two years left and he did improve his ERA by 1.2 between his freshman and sophomore season, so hopefully Weiner can get him to take another big jump and keep him around for the next two years.

The best part about Surly being down all afternoon is that managing partners of accounting and law firms all over Texas are going to be lying awake at night wondering why their billables had such a huge spike on a day where a massive chunk of the state had no power or electricity.

Prema is having a horrible year and can’t figure out the new F2 car. Bearman’s had some decent races when the car isn’t terrible.
