    Texas Primaries

    I think part of the problem is no one else wants to do it (take on the role, I mean-I’m sure you can find plenty who’d happily fire him). I hate to bash Beto but there’s a case to be made that he’d have been a far more dangerous AG candidate than governor. Until you can mount some kind of state wide victory you’re going to be working against the leftover Ann Richards brigade and whose corpses run the state party. That said, if Lina Hidalgo wants to take that next step and doesn’t use it for something Federal she could do it.

    That’s what a five year contract is for and we’d want that anyway. Frankly, I’d agree with you if we are talking about Rodney Terry but racial dynamics play a part in that one, too (also the fact he’s known more for his recruiting rather than his coaching acumen-it’s just a bad look if he’s not given the opportunity to fail). Pierce is different-he’s in year 7, he’s notoriously prickly and he’s got regional rivals that appear to have greater institutional support-it might just be wrong man, wrong time. Either way, if CDC can’t sell that version of the story to some agent then he should get fired, too.

    CSB alert: my wife and I looked at a house that Andy Allen was showing on Bell Mountain Dr back in early 2021 and it was clear that they weren’t doing ANYTHING to beautify the house. Great big carpet stains, drywall nicks and cracks, scratches on base boards and cabinetry. I asked him about it and he said “the next buyer is going to rip out the carpet anyway.” I can’t recall if we put in an offer but it did end up going for 10% or more above list (and it wasn’t a modestly priced house to begin with).

    He was backed into that one. He didn’t want to fire Beard in the first place. I don’t want to hunt for the quote but I don’t think the next coach is going to give two shits if Pierce got fired despite some relatively recent good performance. It’s too storied a program, too much money, too much potential-someone great will happily take that on.

    It’s actually not that hard to understand-there are tons of folks with money besides a couple of oil billionaires and that live in Texas. Unfortunately, they don’t appear to be invested in running the state with the exception of Charles Butt.

    I’m not ready to be glass half full on anything but usually the more extreme the GOP gets, the more appealing a Democratic candidate might be. It probably has to happen this way to get to the other side.

    He was targeted by Red money because he sucks and Dem money won’t be spent to oust a Democratic incumbent. If you wanted to see a change in the policing of downtown this would have been a great way to encourage that.

    The Chronicle is consistent in its support for leftist candidates that check the racial/gender/LGBTQ regardless of resume weakness in other areas. It’s particularly galling when they endorse an incumbent who has shown to be ineffective.

    As tempting as it might have been to vote against Ted Cruz I went ahead and voted in the Dem primary. Time for a new DA in Travis County.

    This may be stale data but about 30% of houses are going above list. I kind of expect that percentage to be higher going forward. I’ve got two borrowers that went under contract in the last week and both were above list (in Austin). Someone else’s opinion but he thinks the $1m-$1.4m are sitting longer-kind of a dead zone as jumbo lenders have gotten out of the market or underwriting requirements gotten steeper, and a lot of those buyers are in tech and a lot more cautious in light of recent layoffs.

    After reading today’s NY Times article I’m intrigued to see Phelan’s race results. One quote stood out:

    Mind summarizing for those of us not on Twitter?

    Shogun

    LCHorn replied to CooterBrown's topic in Movies and TV

    Wow, I knew he looked familiar. He’s perfect for the character. Also, I’m sure it’s partly makeup but it also looks like his deal with Jacob finally lapsed because he held off aging forever.

    I think someone among the GOP elites has decided “you know what, we should do school like Louisiana. Those Cajuns got it figured out!”

    Japanese Richie Aprile, imo.

    I’m a little disappointed this thread isn’t seeing more activity-bring on the Jalen Green abuse.

    I would Uber.

    I’m skeptical it was serious in the first place, rather it was floated in the press to see how the market would react.

    I tend to think ignorance is more likely than nefarious intentions.

    Shogun

    LCHorn replied to CooterBrown's topic in Movies and TV

    He’s been in quite a few international productions-if you want to sample one of his Japanese films besides Ringu check out “The Twilight Samurai”. It’s not an adaptation of Unforgiven but repeats some of the same themes. I’m sure comparisons to The Last Samurai were bound to come up-when I read the Shogun I had Ken Watanabe in my head as Toranaga. Sanada plays everything so internally.

    The last time I stayed at Zaza it was cougar town. Should be great people watching for the kids-“Daddy, why does that woman’s face not move when she smiles?”

    Your points still stands, but picking two obvious abusers of the system like USC and Georgia makes it sounds like you’re trying to undermine your own argument. Neither Georgia or USC is “cleanish”, frankly OU during the Stoops era is a better comparison to UT (although theirs I think is accidental-they’ve been chasing university prestige and don’t have institutional support for the bag game, particularly after Stoops won a championship with Blake’s players).

    Burgers

    LCHorn replied to ftf82's topic in Austin

    I guess “ancient culinary techniques” includes serving raw bacon.

    I’ve been watching it along with the kids-it’s doing a great job, by comparison, of displaying just how wonderful the original version is. Also, I’m sure it would be weird to ask Paul Sun-Hyung Lee to feign an Asian accent but Uncle Iroh without it just sounds off.

    @956 Worldwide is bringing it today. I feel like I need more coffee.
