  1. Sure, Talarico will win the primary, but now he has to spend much more in the primary than he otherwise would have. So absolutely she could be the reason he loses the general election. And the comments about either the national or Texas Democratic Party not having any control over who runs, technically that is true but that viewpoint is remarkably naive. If they really didn’t want her to run, there are a lot of tools they both have to discourage her from running. They simply did not apply the suitable pressure, either because they thought it was a good idea, or they didn’t think it was a bad idea for their party. But, it is.
  2. The bigger issue is the liquidity issues in the banking sector and the resumption of QE. Money machine goes brrrrrrr
  3. This entire post is complete horseshit.
  4. While I find Crockett entertaining, I will never forgive her now for screwing up the biggest opportunity in years to defeat the Republicans with Talarico.
  5. Great story. And eerily similar to a situation a family member faces, including the Japanese. Here’s to hoping your success leads to inspiration for them too.
  6. Gawd dammit gawd dammit. This whole situation is so stupid. The Democratic Party of Texas FINALLY had a candidate that had a slight chance of beating the Republicans in Talarico, with Allred pulling out. And what do they do? They fuck it up immediately. Crockett has a 0.0% chance of winning, and now Talarico has to spend huge funds in the primary. The Democrats are the worst run organization. I look forward to having a bribed Mexican Cartel shill as our next US Senator.
  7. I’ve been impressed the last two years with Georgia Tech run blocking and physical approach by the OL.
  8. We never saw the full Baxter. He got injured very early on, then seriously injured. RB’s take two years to come back from serious knee injuries. I would not be surprised if he performs very well next year somewhere else, but Texas just can’t roll the dice again next year on him. It would be a waste of money.
  9. What I am about to type is a mix of views I’ve held for a long time mixed with a brand new wildly different view as a result of this year’s playoff. OP is completely wrong about CFP ruining college football. We had a few cheating teams dominating college football for the last 15 years. That was way way worse than now. It sucked. The current money situation with a lack of structure is what is making it a mess. The CFP is the best, albeit incomplete, attempt at delivering a reasonably fair, entertaining product. However, it needs one more tweak, a tweak I was completely against until now. The playoff needs to expand to 13-16 teams from the current 12. Texas has shown that a team with 3 losses on a tough schedule is capable of winning it all. And so a team like Texas should get in. A 14 team playoff should address every scenario of teams that deserve a shot. It doesn’t fix the money issue, but that is separate from the actual playoff.
  10. Hahhaahahahahahaha. Fuck OSU.

    There should be a completely aligned view on Wisner. On the positive side, he outperformed every other back on the roster and kept Texas’ running game from being even worse than it could have been because of his ability to identify and wiggle thru the few holes being created, and fight for an extra yard. The downside of Wisner is he isn’t very fast or strong or explosive. That also kept the Texas running game from performing. Texas must find something better. But we should appreciate what he delivered.
  12. Ya I’m thinking Texas just threw in a bid at the last minute and is just making others pay more.
  13. Texas isn’t even mentioned here. https://247sports.com/college/ohio-state/article/update-five-star-wr-chris-henry-jr-initially-picks-ohio-state-but-is-still-undecided-weighing-options-264531210/
  14. Two good posts. You guys have good attitudes. I’m going to just stand here and walk around in a circle.
  15. Does this raise questions about our Baker?
  16. Who said that? I never saw any poster say that.
  17. If Texas is going to be out, I’m pulling for Indiana, BYU, Duke, James Madison and north Texas. I want the shittiest playoffs ever. How about a North Texas BYU final.
  18. This is a good post. I’ve been very luke warm on Freeman. However, it’s important to know what level of NIL he has available to him. Because when I watch his teams play, they do have a certain toughness about them. And he is able to get some very good talent. Maybe just not enough due to NIL limitations? But this is all a moot point. Sark is here for next year, and probably beyond.
  19. Some teams have the type of offense where they run their system and if they have superior athletes to the competition, they can’t be stopped. The old Leach and OU offenses were that way. As a result they would run up huge scores. The downside was that when they ran into top teams they had few wrinkles to roll out and were stymied. Sark’s approach and offense is built heavily on deception, motion, and throwing in wrinkles to find space. So he doesn’t do much against lesser teams because he wants to save those wrinkles for the critical games like OU and A&M, keeping them off film. As a result, they often don’t destroy lesser opponents. He also purposely gets conservative late in games to avoid low percentage scenarios where the competition comes back to win. It’s why he has so many unnecessary close games. And of course this philosophy is flawed. Playing that conservative actually brings low percentage comebacks into play more than just continuing to beat them down.
  20. Agree. He has amazing physical talent. He dropped a few passes and people totally over-reacted.
  21. I should also mention that a lot of ETF's that invest in bonds have dividends, but they are taxed as ordinary income, not as qualified dividends. So that is confusing for many people.
