Did they run out of time or is this a legitimate first loss?

Brian Johnson has a show called "Life on the Road." To me, the series is fascinating. Johnson is down to earth and very humble. He has interviewed Robert Plant, Sting, Roger Daltrey, Nick Mason, Lars Ulrich. The following link is the entire episode with Dave Grohl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZkKioEpRY4&ab_channel=BrianJohnsonTV

Valid point. It was bad. It was a stream of consciousness that sounds horrific when I reread it. I was attempting to cast it as a possible part of the advice he was receiving from counsel. NOT trying to cast it as my opinion of the character of the women involved or to discredit them. I would see if there is some way to edit the post to clarify, but it is too late, as folks have already quoted it. Sigh - thanks for the msg.

A settlement would require a payout and an NDA. IIRC, Watson already had NDAs with the majority of the accusers. Is it possible that Watson's attorneys advised him that a settlement with NDA would be meaningless? The accusers already violated 1 NDA; chances are they would violate again. Let's say he settles with one for $100k. It's not like it's the end of the problem. Once she runs out of cash, she could try again. NDA be damned.

As noted, it's a click generator so people will whine about it. Aside from the MSU ranking, the top-10 is just a shuffle of the Massey composite average from the end of last season with some bias toward returning players. A deeper dive shows more. Every team in the top-25 is a P5 team. 8 SEC teams in top 25; 7 Big12; 5 Big10; 4 ACC (if you count Notre Dame) and 1 PAC. Clicks. If I were in charge of a preseason "power" ranking, it would look very similar to what we saw here. The top 25 would be VERY heavy on big name teams and have some that seem really crazy. I would also use past "click" data to motivate the rankings. If Ames, Starkville, State College, and Lubbock give me high clicks/population rates, I automatically rank them higher. Ranking MSU at 8 and TTU at 21 costs me nothing, but might get me all sorts of click data and help my advertising rates.

I scanned a few mock drafts and have summarized the projected Dallas pick and the Pitts pick. Of the 11 drafts, Pitts is drafted outside the top 10 3 times. Dallas picks Surtain 6 times, Slater 2 times, Horn 2 times, and Javon Holland 1 time. Dallas selects Pitts 0 times, which means its a virtual certainty . To me, the only certain pick is Lawrence at #1. Aside from that, the "insiders" are guessing just as much as we are. ESPN - Kiper 4: Miami (via trade) - Kyle Pitts 10: Patriots (via trade w/ Dallas) - Justin Fields 15: Dallas - Jaycee Horn, CB ESPN - Tannenbaum 10: Dallas - Patrick Surtain II 12: Eagles - Kyle Pitts ESPN - McShay 4: Atlanta - Kyle Pitts 10: Dallas - Jaycee Horn (Surtain taken at 8, Fields drops to 11) NFL.com Zierlein 6: Eagles - Kyle Pitts 10: Dallas - Rashawn Slater, T, Northwestern NFL.com Maurice Jones-Drew 10: Dallas - Jevon Holland, S, Oregon 15: Patriots - Kyle Pitts NFL.com Chad Reuter 4: Atlanta - Kyle Pitts 10: Dallas - Patrick Surtain II The Sporting News 10: Dallas - Patrick Surtian II 12: Eagles - Kyle Pitts CBS Sports 6: Miami - Kyle Pitts 10: Dallas - Patrick Surtain II Walter Football 4: Atlanta - Kyle Pitts 10: Dallas - Patrick Surtain II The Athletic 6: Miami - Kyle Pitts 10: Dallas - Patrick Surtain II TD Wire 6: Miami - Kyle Pitts 10: Dallas - Rashawn Slater, T, Northwestern

I see 20 cents worth. That said, it's great to see he's recovered from his injuries. A bit of his game came from his mobility; the rest came from playing in the AAC. I wonder how that will be impacted.

Great prep for damn near all Big12 road games and for the general stench they'll experience from their opponents in Dallas.

Duran Duran has a fairly strong catalog, all in all. Ordinary World and Come Undone are quite fantastic, but we do not get there w/o Girls on Film, Rio, Hungry ..., or Save a Prayer. I did not recall "7 and the Ragged Tiger" released on 1983. To me it "felt" like it was 1985 or 1986. Perhaps it was Duran Duran fatigue at that time. 1993's eponymous album ("Wedding" cover) contained Ordinary World and Come Undone and caught my attention because of their artistry. I really like this song. It was cowritten by Swift and Jack Antonoff. Antonoff is the guitar player for fun. (We Are Young and Some Nights) and lead of Bleachers. Here's a Bleachers song I recommend:

DeAndre Jordan, too.

For crying out loud folks, Bob Freaking Weltlich recruited well to Texas. Beard, who is far less of a jerk than Weltlich, will be fine here. Plus, Beard has placed 2 lottery picks, a 2nd rounder, and several undrafted FAs into the NBA - FROM TEXAS TECH! Trivia question: Before Beard got to TTU, when was the last time a TTU player was drafted? I'll answer: 2004.

This is exactly what you want to see from Ford.

Hard to disagree with this logic. However, Roy Williams likely did not wake up this morning and decide to retire. This must have been in the works for some time; agents, reps working back-channels. Beard's reps must have known this was happening before today...

That's a lot of words to say, "No news on Beard." $9.95, please.

Assuming Beard is the guy... All of the "Texas will talk to Beard today" messages should probably add "in an official capacity." To this point, I suspect all work has been done verbally using intermediaries. Today would be the "official" interview, so as to mitigate any claim of the additional $2mm buyout. Today, they'll work out details like shirt size, new tie, stapler colors (he cannot use the red one any more), etc. As for aesthetics, it was aesthetically pleasing to see Shaka hop in that Grand Cherokee at the airfield in Milwaukee.

You'd think Swindell would have a direct line to Pierce or CDC and would not have to resort to Twitter.

https://www.sameerislam.com/about/doctor/ He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Texas in Austin where he graduated with honors. He completed both his medical degree (MD) and masters of business association (MBA) at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Texas Tech Rawls School of Business, respectively.

This was mentioned a while back. NBA guys know a bad coach when the see it. As was mentioned here a while back (by you?), a lot of those guys were disgusted by the way Smart ran practices. Anyone who coaches off-ball movement is a significant improvement over Smart. Having it accompanied by good fundamentals and discipline will be fantastic. The on-court product will be night and day better with Beard.

Two twats tweet --> Twatter.

Messages like "TTU and Beard remain in contact" are idiotic. One of my guys gave his 2-week notice last week. We remain in contact. We may even after he leaves. I remain in contact w/ guys who left years ago. That will be $9.95.

My Stevens comments were partially a joke, partially a response to his meager salary, partially insanity. This makes total sense.

Guilty as charged. Make him say no

That's the best "way out there" suggestion I've seen so far. I *think* he's under contract though 2022, but a $3.7M buyout is feasible. If "we" are going to break the bank, break it for Stevens, not Beard.
