  1. Bianco is great at his job. He's worked at UT for three decades, with only a brief period of being out of the job because Steve Patterson fired him. As soon as Patterson was gone, Bianco was hired back. So congratulations on siding with Steve Patterson. I guess it makes sense because when I envision you, it is in a clown suit as well.
  2. Damn, he is so easy to hate.
  3. That's not something "funny." That's a post from a little brother who is worried about getting his ass beat, and looking for a way to get out of the fight.
  4. This thread is indeed a sad representation of Longhorn fandom, populated by the same collection of conspiracy theorists who somehow convinced themselves that Urban Meyer was going to coach here five years ago by looking at hotel room pictures and eating McRib sandwiches. While I agree there are a universe of possibilities this offseason—this is college football after all—the most likely scenario is that Sarkisian returns, hires an OC, makes one or two other coaching changes, and gets the resources needed to make a difference in the portal. Then, with a seasoned Arch Manning Texas makes a serious run at a national championship in 2026.
  5. Sounds like this isn't happening unless all 18 schools are on board.
  6. FWIW it was suggested above regarding Fubo, and I've confirmed it works. As long as you sign up with a different email, you can get five more days free with Fubo even if you use your same name, address, IP, etc.
  7. A man's gotta eat.
  8. From Portage, MI, in the southern part of the state. https://247sports.com/player/charlie-jilek-46152938/
  9. There are no angels in this fight. However, Disney appears to be trying to monetize the content (i.e. football on ESPN) as well as the distribution channels (i.e. ESPN Unlimited or whatever the fuck it's called this week, Fubo, etc). If they succeed in controlling most of the content and most of the distribution channels, it's going to be bad for prices long term. Google provides competitive pressure to keep subscriber costs down.
  10. Yeah, I don't want to mess around with that. We live surrounded by a lot of trees. In the past when I've tried to get a signal it has not worked well. Also the way the TV is mounted it is kind of a pain in the ass to reach its ports.
  11. So dumb question (sorry). I'm in Houston and used Fubo last weekend, which was fine. But I don't really want to pay for a month since Disney owns 70 percent of Fubo (fuck those bastards). If I get a Sling TV day pass will I be able to watch the UT-Georgia game on Saturday? I ask since locals (Sling has ABC in Houston) are not included in the orange package.
  12. The term for people who are absolutely certain about something despite being ignorant is often referred to as exhibiting the "Dunning-Kruger effect." This cognitive bias leads individuals with low ability or knowledge to overestimate their competence.
  13. This is so true. In the industries I follow closely, private equity typically comes in and looks for a high rate of immediate return. Often times they're taking complete control of a company (perhaps acquiring a stressed asset at a discount), shaving costs, and seeking a maximum return before the business goes to shit. In this case they're going to be minority owners, but they're going to propose all sorts of gross and crass marketing or business opportunities to monetize their investment. This will prove to be a terrible deal for Big 10 fans.
