  1. Rex when you call anything that isn't upstream "O&G":
  2. Yeah read that a little while ago, kind of crazy that new-PAC is basically hinging on a Memphis school that will bolt to the ACC first chance that its given (once FSU and Clemson get out) but such is college football realignment... USF to the new-PAC is amusing as well, good luck with flights from Tampa to Pullman/Corvalis for non-rev sports. Been fairly surprised by realignment before, so still think there's a chance of Texas State in the new-PAC hopefully with UTSA, but would take joining the AAC with them and Rice and UNT at incrementally more money than the SBC as a decent consolation prize. Whatever happens I at least have more trust/faith in the current University administration to navigate this than those in charge previously. Not going to be waiting around for some conference to ask for their slide deck like Larry Teis...
  3. Gonna be interesting to see how things evolve for the new-PAC, they willing take a flyer on UTSA and either Texas State or UNT (or maybe Rice?) to get a couple Texas schools in the footprint even if as they currently stand viewership support doesn't really add up financially but might pan out in the future? Would love for Texas State to get together in a conference with UTSA again and whatever form new-PAC takes does seem like an optimal way for that to happen, 2nd to AAC getting raided for Tulane and Memphis but leaving UTSA behind and Texas State getting the call to fill in there. Feels good possibly having multiple decent possibilities open in realignment for once, last time it was "here is your Sunbelt spot, take or get left for dead on the side of the road somewhere"
  4. Man this thread went from defining exactly what constitutes “O&G” to debating economic impacts of safety regulations and property law very fast…
  5. Flipped the news on around 6:30 this morning and it was still burning, albeit much, much smaller than before. Was more like Al Davis eternal flame than raging industrial accident flame.
  6. The Houston Arrow strikes again!
  7. As a somehow favorite professor of mine at the Harvard of the Hill Country Texas State once said: “we aren’t talking about what the grass is, we are talking about what the grass IS” Can’t wait to /Thread this once the stupid fire is finally out
  8. I wish…defiantly wouldn’t be wasting time at work on this thread if I was a billionaire (midstream) O&G guy…or would I??
  9. has always been my understanding as well. Source: I used to work for a company that provided various software solutions mostly to E&P firms.
  10. Do they come with the cowboy pool or does that cost extra? Regardless, think I’d rather have one of those than take the chance that my pool catches the cancer.
  11. I get what you are saying, and for people “in the biz” (used to be me) there’s a difference, but for 99% of the population, it doesn’t make a shit. If your firms pipeline is carrying natural gas and it’s burning out of control, O&G firm you are…
  12. What was in that pipeline again? Sorry it’s just horrendously pedantic to think a midstream pipeline company like ET isn’t also a “O&G firm”
  13. She's still a burnin, tho at least it does look a lot tamer that yesterday... Live look at Kelcy Warren:
  14. Im guessing this footage won’t be making the next Energy Transfer commercial I see on TV constantly saying how great pipelines are…
  15. Yeah whoever is running this pipeline sure is taking their sweet time getting it shut off…
  16. Whelp guess we gotta reset the counter to zero days since last Plumey sighting…
  17. Dirty Birds gonna Dirty Bird, see this movie before
  18. Because they look sick as hell, thats why
  19. The headline gave me a good chuckle: https://pac-12.com/news/2024/9/12/general-ushering-in-a-new-era-the-pac-12-conference-strengthens-its-legacy-by-welcoming-four-respected-academic-and-athletic-universities.aspx So no one joining till 2026 and they still gotta add at least 2 more to stay a conference, wondering where they turn next
  20. Dang so I guess this is happening today... Guessing no matter who they add they aren't getting their auto bid to the playoff back, so welcome to the G6 Wazzu and Oregon State!
  21. They get stuck being a directional school forever and better like it
