  1. Going across the border in Brownsville and buying cases of corona for $4 and then heading to Padre was how I spent most summers in high school. Throw in a couple bottles of Cuervo Gold for a $1.50 and parking on Children's Beach and night surfing (sorta) was an instant great time.
  2. Schaefer's says Howdy. That stuff was less than 2 bucks a six pack and was an all purpose fluid on fishing trips: Drink it, Brush teeth with it, Wash hands, and clean fish - all in one handy container.
  3. Jackson claiming its ok cause he runs a non-profit for victims of sexual assault and trafficking - maybe he shouldn't have asked for a bright light on that: Jackson's foundation reported that it received $158,672 in 2019, the most recent year in which tax filings are available. According to tax documents, nearly 75% of that money was spent on the salary of the foundation's executive director -- it's only paid employee. The foundation spent another $15,000 on travel expenses. It paid $4,038 (roughly 2.5%) in grants and contributions to other organizations. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/33392454/grambling-state-head-football-coach-hue-jackson-defends-hiring-offensive-coordinator-art-briles
  4. Son played for Riley. I like him - certainly massive upgrade over previous. Southlake is a pretty high pressure high school coaching job. Lots of helicopter parents, Lots of expectations. He has mastered coach speak and that's what you got in that interview. Rumor was he was none too pleased about the late exit of QE before last season start, but turns out the backup was pretty good, and they had a good season, so I don't think there are any lasting hard feelings.
  5. Yeah, I get that. I was mostly ripping on IT for the drops comment when he hasn't even been on the field yet. However, the blocking in the national champ game wasn't substandard - it was non-existent and noticeable to a drunk and very casual viewer of the game (me) who wasn't focused on any player. I'm talking total lack of give a shit. Hopefully it was the frustration at the end of a long BOB beatdown.
  6. That's important in the weight room. How about the 'Ole blocking we saw in the National Championship game from him?
  7. Agree. Other coaches, the high school sends out the tweet thanking the coaches for stopping in. Anyone have evidence that JC actually has done more than drive through the parking lot to see who was out front? Reminds me of employees who suck always self promoting to try to get others to believe they don't suck instead of letting their work speak for itself.
  8. Just back from wildcard weekend. Mask mandates are the real deal - tables and sports book, rent a cops are on the job as are the dealers/pit bosses. Look for outdoor spaces to eat/hang out to get away from all mask, all the time. Bud Beer Garden at Paris good spot to watch games, although for SB and likely conference champ games, you'll need reservations at any/all sports bars. No trouble finding food spots - seems like fewer tables / dealers available most place
  9. This is the problem with fuckin aggies. No class. This guy is a houston/lufkin bumpkin that can get past his own red ass to support his kids looking to connect with P5 school.
  10. Yep, the previous 25 years had only 4 SEC: 92 AL, 96 FLA, 98 TEN, 03 LSU(OR USC).
  11. It was rough watching him last night. Mouth piece always hanging out (nothing says ready for physical contact like no mouth piece) and whiffing on both technique and effort on numerous blocks.
  12. Would add The Shootist to the list as the parallelism between the lead character and John Wayne is intriguing. Also WIld Bunch needs more Love.
  13. Athens >>> Norman. Athens Talent >>>>>>>>>>>> Norman Talent. Undefeated and all. He got a girlfriend at OU?
  14. Yep. it was totally a guess from the outside. Strategic deals can always raise the price point, especially if there are other suitors as you no doubt know. Also depends on strings/commitment to the buyer from the seller which in a people business like that is critical to value continuation/realization. BTW, ~6M Ebitda on 15M revenue is salty! congrats to those folks.
  15. Lots of ways to calculate materiality (revenue, assets, gross profit, net profit). Here's one way to look at it: materiality is generally between 5-10% net profit, 2015 CBS net income was 1.4B, so 140m could be argued immaterial, anything less than 70 would be immaterial. However, the news article on the acquisition does say the annual revenue of 247 sports was 15M. While MA multiple were high that year (12-15x in elevated industries) it's unlikely that 247 had 10+m in EBITDA. I would guess not more that 25% of Revenue(which is high), so think 3.75M max EBITDA at max MA rate (15) puts likely sale price high end likely at 56M. TLDR: CTJ and Enchubben are correct and price was likely well below 100M.
  16. Thanks CTJ; BTW, Only 6500 posts? As a long time reader that seldom posts, Its seems most things I stop down to read are things you posted, or topics you initiated. Would have guessed double that amount of posts. Quality over quantity! To add a little something here, my 21 year old son (played at SLC ahead of QE) has been around QE a bit this month - said he's "chill, ready to ball" My old man translator thinks that's a good thing.
  17. Not sure what's more fucked up in that picture. Hot dog tacos or the Corona Premier. I suspect hot dog tacos taste like crap. I know Corona Premier is piss.
  18. Who knew the Sherminator was a real person.
  19. Was at this game. First game of the year. 6:30 place was empty. At 8:30 still pretty light. Couple Observations as a casual Mavs fan: Both teams were ice cold most of the game. it was bad basketball from a shooting, scheme, effort and generally looked like two teams who were pretty disinterested. The crowd was crap. Not just the 50% capacity, but zero energy. The only time they got into it was when they had 4th quarter chick fil a contest to win a sandwich on two missed free throws (which they did) Luka whines every fing time. Bunch of calls he didn't get, and my buddies and i were like "maybe he shouldn't bitch at the refs from the tip". BTW, on first shot (which he made) - he turned and start bitching at the ref. FIRST SHOT. The Mavs offense turned into I hope Luka gets hot in 4th. (Didn't this get previous coach fired?) He also passed up several up close shots to kick outside when it looked open - think he's trying to get the rest of these guys to hit a shot, but as noted above. Brutal 3 point shooting all night. Harden is an embarrassment to the league. He makes Soccer Flops look like assaults. At least 5 phantom flops in the game. Watching him flop and Luka whine the entire game is a cancer on the NBA Not that Cuban needs the money, but I won't spend another dime on going to watch this team.
  20. The thought that Riley has some mentor/close relationship with QE is suspect. QE basically pulled the rug out from what was suppose to be a SLC revenge tour back to the State finals with his late departure to Ohio State. Fortunately the unknown and little experienced backup turned out pretty good, but locals don't think Riley was too thrilled.
  21. Good God. 1303 seems the over-under for this thread.
  22. This is the money statement. The endowment allows for breadth/non-rev sports. Corporate NIL dollars - real corporations, not Local Pawn Shop - is what creates massive personal brand monetization for the elite, and helps create lifetime brand revenue for those individuals, and with a real, professionally managed org in the middle not uncles, and pseudo agents taking 50% cuts, the corporate marketing $$ will jump in.
  23. Whole team including the coaches should have to read this article and then look in the mirror: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32644138/the-2001-miami-hurricanes-one-college-football-greatest-teams-ever
  24. Lot of google searching on that title, however both the translation and the cultural embrace of ritual suicide by disembowelment fit well here.
