  1. I hate the guys with fucked up hair. That’s why I disliked Quinn from the start.
  2. Meh. I’m as critical as anyone on Ewers but that’s asking a lot at that speed. He saved 5 points.
  3. Really a masterful job with that photo backdrop.
  4. That’s how you get non-identical twins.
  5. Right. So even if he goes on an amazing, historic run of Anti-Martingale betting at a $25 BlackJack table he’d hope to have a nice run in the $15-20k vicinity and that’s very rare. A good win that’s not outside the norms at that betting level is $5-10k. That’s a huge win for most folks but it’s different for a guy who makes $7mm/year. I’ve seen people go on those runs but 99% of the time you’re losing that money. They don’t build the casinos by giving money away. The risk to wealth ratio makes this sort of a boring game. I’ve played lousy $1 tables with I’ve been downtown and it’s hard to actually care about it because you’re not going to win a lot even if you do well. I used to play a lot of Blackjack. I went to Vegas a lot with a friend of mine. He sat down at a table with some old lady at the Golden Nugget. It was a $100 table but the lady was betting $10k minimum per hand. This goes on for a while until she losses maybe $100,000, gets up and leaves. My friend is just kinda shocked. When she leaves the dealer tell him that the lady is Ray Kroc’s widow.
  6. Guy makes millions per year and he’s playing at a $25 table. That’s for schmos like me.
  7. I feel personally attacked.
  8. I agree. Make very short single-topic clips. We all want to consume the media but might not want to watch a whole 20 minute video.
  9. He was teammates with KJ Lacey though.
  10. Dana Point has gotten stuck in my head as a place I’d like to retire to. We drove through there once on a weekend trip down to OC. It’s just super pleasant.
  11. I don’t know what your wife does in a hospital but California is one of the best locations in the world to be a nurse evidently. The state limits the patient/nurse ratio and hours to reduce stress/improve care. Also, I believe the Union is very strong and they make more money here than most other places. I live in the East Bay Area and it fits all of the requirements you’ve mentioned (Asian-White mixed couple as well). Our local schools in Moraga are significantly Asian and mixed-Asian. It does get pretty damned hot out here though and housing prices aren’t cheap.
  12. Due to recent events in the Transfer Portal, the Sooner football team has refreshed their team logo.
  13. Who else’s Apple Watch is giving them high heartbeat warnings?
  14. What was the atmosphere like for that game?
  15. Sort of there with you on the whole thing. But the money was always there for the kids and Texas *trying* to play honestly was just hamstringing us. The Aggies ‘22 class probably pissed off a lot of folks and I’m also grateful for the dudes on here who got the whole Texas NIL machine up and flattening the competition. My joy about being in the CFP two years in a row, winning the B12 championship and playing for the SEC championship are is not dampened by the realization that the players are “in it for the money.” At some point when coaches are making 8-figure salaries and 100s of millions are being spent on facilities and being earned in merchandising, it’s only fair that the players who give the brand its value are able to benefit from it.
  16. Because Fuck Them, that’s why.
  17. This is the most top-heavy commitment edit ever.
  18. Hahahaha. I think it's hilarious that they think they even have that kind of juice. I'm sure there's an email from the SEC waiting to be unearthed somewhere where they admit that getting UT in the SEC was the long-term goal all along. Because they'd be idiots to not have that as their long-term goal. The aggies were just the bait.
  19. I don’t even understand it. They’re cut out from magazines like an anonymous hostage letter? That’s the impression you want to give, that your recruits are being held against their will?
  20. I don’t know if I qualify but I’ll give it a shot. Plus I only live about 90 minutes from his office.
  21. I don’t think it was “Texas Brass.” It was almost solely the initiative of a number of folks on this board and Bobby Burton if I recall correctly. Most of those guys have said that the administration was very skeptical of them.
  22. I saw another post on there where someone was refuting that they got “dominated” other than the two goal line stands. Bro, if you can’t punch it in from within the 5 yard line after 8 attempts with 4 of them at the 1 yard line, you got dominated.
  23. Hahahaha. I paid $1200 to watch Texas win the National Championship.
  24. Guys 6’3” but throws sidearm at the height of a 5’9” QB.
  25. The theory I'd heard was that putting him up for AG gave them the "cover" to kill the Ethics Report. He was told he had to get out of Congress and this was the deal he struck. He'll probably get rich from speaking engagements to other pervs.
