Can someone explain how the spurs got 4 and 8? Was the 4 due to their record and the 8 from Toronto?

European?

Watched the Star Trek reboot with Chris Pine again. That entire cast was selected perfectly.

This is unbelievably bad officiating.

This team has a lot of depth. Big positive. This team lost a lot of high end NFL talent. Negative. This team has a pretty rough SEC schedule with tough out of conference game, but not too tough. Negative. This team has a very experienced QB but he’s underachieved a bit so far. Net positive. Could be 8-4 to 11-1. I’ll take 8-4 because we can’t have nice things.

I’m sure this has been covered before, but can someone explain to me the value of contesting value, when the taxed value remains significantly below the appraised value due to the 10% yearly tax increase cap in Texas? For example, here are some real numbers. 1. 2024 appraised value - $698k 2. Comp range $675-750k. Thus theoretically, you might be able to knock off $23k of appraised value 3. Taxed Value Due to 10% Cap - $560k. “Winning” your challenge doesn’t save you any money, doesn’t really help you much for the future. And the process exposes you to a potential higher appraisal in the review. Why are so many people doing this? Especially given that services now charge a fee.

Definitely a scam

You are not in tune with the evolution of the board’s thinking on Bo. I was unhappy with Bo’s recruiting very early in his tenure and thought I was dead wrong because most were very high on him. But slowly over time most started to realize his recruiting was not up to standard. So no, there hasn’t been a big switch on Bo since he left. You are just flat wrong. And most still would have been fine with him still here, but realize that there is a chance to do better on recruiting, and hopefully not worse on development.

Jesus I was watching on espn because there was no message that it was on espnu so we missed the goal. What happened? And why is the crowd so lame?

Where can I find the graphic embarrassing details of stormy Daniel’s’ testimony? I want to ridicule the orange moron.

We are envisioning different conversations between Sark and the players. It’s about the nuance of how the conversation is done. When you are running a business “how” you provide the message to an employee is just as important as the message.

Hence why I said “unless he wants them to leave.”

IMO sark should not be telling any 1st or 2nd string players in the spring that they may not start, unless he wants them to leave. A lot of things can change between spring and fall. Now if a player is demanding that the coach guarantee a starting role, that’s altogether different.

So by swapping Cole for Brooks is Texas net better, worse or the same at CB?

Joe King Carrasco!

This post brought up a nightmare memory. There was a large old neighborhood group of us that played intramural football at UT in the early 80’s. There were too many guys for one team, so we fielded 2, the best on one and the rest on the second who played one level down. The best team won several titles, including in the top class. It was awesome to see because they would beat all these frats that drew from large populations, practiced a lot, etc. Our guys from the neighborhood were just 8 that grew up together and rolled out for every game and just played. These guys were great athletes and won football, basketball and softball titles at UT. But the second team, on which I played, hadn’t won a title in the lower class. We always felt we weren’t holding up our neighborhood’s legacy. And the first team guys always gave us shit for it. One year, we finally got our act together and played in the title game. With one play left it was 4th down near our end zone, the score was 0-0, but we led in penetrations. So all we had to do is keep them out of the end zone and we’d finally have a title. Our DB intercepted the pass in the end zone and downed it, presumably ending the game. But the dumb fuck kid referee was so clueless he didn’t know football rules. He called it a safety instead. We argued with this idiot for 15 minutes but lost the appeal and the game 2-0. Thanks for reminding me. Dammit. To this day, we still catch hell from the guys for not also being on the wall at Gregory Gym.

From UT What rules did protesters break? Here's what UT Austin had to say UT officials said more than 10 "known violations of Institutional Rules" were committed by protesters. AUSTIN, Texas — More than 130 arrests were made during multiple pro-Palestine protests at the University of Texas at Austin in recent weeks. More than half of those arrested now face charges ranging from criminal trespassing, to obstructing a highway or passageway, to interfering with public duties. Some Austin city leaders say the arrests are overwhelming Travis County's legal system, leading others to wonder what rules were broken by protesters at UT. According to the university, 11 "known violations of Institutional Rules" were committed during the April 24 and April 29 protests: Erecting tents Attempting to establish an encampment Unauthorized use of amplified sound Unauthorized use of tables on the South Lawn Demonstrating in unauthorized locations/non-common areas Use of face coverings to conceal identity Failure to identify Failure to comply with directives related to the above Shoving staff Items brought to use as weapons (guns, shields, objects intended for throwing) Failure to follow city, state, and federal laws (criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, assault on public servant) UT officials said the last two items were just examples and not comprehensive. They also said guns found at the protest were open carry and visible, even though the university would not share any photos of them. What is UT's campus carry rule? In 2015, Senate Bill 11 allowed those licensed to carry to bring a concealed handgun onto university campuses. It also gave public universities discretion to regulate campus carry. Those with a license to carry are eligible to carry a concealed handgun on campus if they're 21 or older. They must also clear eligibility requirements like a criminal background, mental health history and substance abuse issues. Concealed carry is "generally" allowed in outdoor areas as well as buildings and spaces accessible to the public. However, "a license holder may not carry a partially or wholly visible handgun on campus premises or on any university driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.

Yeah that pitch is almost identical to what I put together for the NIL stuff, including the name HornsHub which I held on various web and social media sites until about a year and a half ago. And the revenue forecast was identical too. How the hell did AI get on my computer.

Dear Longhornlove: I know you won't listen to any of the posts that are pointing out how uninformed and misguided you are, but if you would just step back for a few minutes and take a hard look at where you are going for political information, you might realize you have been swept up, along with millions of others, in massive, calculated disinformation campaigns meant to mislead citizens like yourself. There are many people like you. You are not alone. You are absolutely reading and believing in utter nonsense. Like any good disinformation campaign, you will see a few videos and quotes that are real to make you think think the information is legitimate. But these bad actors have carefully selected these "proof points" and taken them out of context or created much bigger fictional fantasies out of mispoken words, jokes, or typical brain farts we all have from time to time. Now, I'm sure Biden like every politician has purposely lied about some things over time. After all he's been in policitics for over 50 years. Every politician has lied about certain topics. But what is critical to understand is politicians engaging in small untruths vs politicians conspiring to convey vast, often illegal, evil untruths in order to achieve personal profits, political party objectives, etc. Your inability to distinguish between these two realities, and you also showing that you can be completely fooled by well known grifters like the source you quoted paints you as an absolute moron, and rightly so. To the educated population you look like a complete idiot. Do you really want to keep going through life that way? Or, would it be better for you to step away from garbage disinformation sources and try to learn true reality, vs the fantasy view of the world you are spewing? It's really sad seeing how stupid you look.

How about we both just list out all the lies from the two candidates and compare. I’ll do Trump. You do Biden. Since you’ve made the more provocative claim, you go first.

I have a vague recollection of you as a reasonable poster. But your unsubstantiated and wrong attack on Biden regarding young people is just flat out loony, and I’m not a Democrat. He is one of the most genuine Presidents we’ve had in a long time and he has absolutely pursued policies to help young people, as several posters above have listed. If you think he should be doing a lot more, than you’ve forgotten that he also has to balance his decisions against other constituents, like Jewish Americans, minority groups, the aging, etc. Please go find your common sense. You sound completely unhinged.

This is an extremely important post. Both posters hit at the heart of the disagreement and issue being discussed. SquishMitten is absolutely right. IMO it’s fine for the university to be well prepared for escalation and if necessary take firm action. The problem is that they took action too quickly. Would it have escalated to what has been seen elsewhere in the country? Yes it probably it would have. This demonstrates how important it is to be very very careful when taking action against protestors.

Was talking with west coast tech folks and I’m getting the impression Abbott and Patrick have screwed up royally. Originally, Austin was seen as a great destination for tech companies because of the favorable business climate combined with more central politics. Unfortunately, the far right policies of late, and the over the top political posturing have soured the tech community on the city and state. A lot of companies have now put on the brakes on future business plans in Texas. Dumbfucks.

Imo Texas needs two bigger players, not 1. Would have preferred to see that instead of another guard.
