  1. We'll see, I'll stick it out a few more episodes. The producers had an opportunity to level-up the actor for Ellie in S2 for the 5 year gap. For whatever reason they didn't. Bella Ramsey as a precocious kid in a supporting actor role, I buy. As a revenge seeking murderer in the leading role, I have big doubts.
  2. My issue w/ Bella Ramsey isn't at all attractiveness b/c c'mon, it's a post apocalyptic story. The issue is that from S1 to S2 yeah she aged but her face put on a TON of weight. I can suspend disbelief for a ton of shit like fungi zombies, but you can't tell me that in this world there are enough calories to go around for everyone. People would be starving, especially in fucking Jackson Hole where you can't grow shit for half the year or more. Most of the other characters are pretty svelte. How the hell is she packing on the fat? Why is she the only one?
  3. Wow...glad I got in during the last Herman year, yikes.
  4. We are in the west side Section 5, on about the 48 yard line about 10 rows from the top tucked nicely under the overhang so we have shade for everything except the first half of 11AM games. Last year I wanted to at least evaluate Centennial Club seat to get my redheaded wife out of the sun because she burns easily. I talked to LHF and they advised making a one-time $25K donation to boost me up to day 1 selection and "then maybe you'll get a shot, if seats there free up." We bought some extra sunscreen.
  5. The suggestion here is to avoid looking like a hipster by...wearing vintage?
  6. Way, way ahead of you
  7. The left is attacking Trump wrong on this. The play isn't the constitutional crisis, the black bagging of randoms, or the foreign gulag. People don't care about that - especially for this guy. The play is to attack Trump as weak. Bernie or whoever needs to put out a tweet that says "Trump can't even get tiny El Salvador to release one guy! Incredibly WEAK! Sad! To have such a weak POTUS who can't tell other countries what to do, especially shithole countries!" Trump would be falling over himself to prove how strong he is by this afternoon.
  8. The pressure wave to blow a solid wood door off the frame like that...wow. Obviously flying glass...are your eardrums intact? Could have been a lot worse.
  9. Cal split him out like a slot a ton...to his credit he got open, good routes.
  10. Meh. Anyone ever done the fire sale? Worth checking out?
  11. It's going to be hilarious to watch this blow up in Nico's and his father's stupid faces. TTech or wherever he lands isn't paying him whatever he thinks he's worth. He just cost himself a shit ton of money.
  12. Beating OU 49-0 a few years back was basically a 3-hour orgasm. The 2005 NC is above it obviously but I'll remember it forever, that washed away so many bad feelings of OU blowouts. And the weather was as perfect as can be for that game - the perfect day.
  13. Will it auto-renew your existing seats if you do nothing? I will be on a flight during my window.
  14. "Maybe" is doing some HEAVY lifting in that statement.
  15. Honest question: is this a negative reaction to prices going up, or to actual bloat in the LHF? I have zero exposure to the LHF organization other than occasional emails from them and when I pay my seat donation YoY. Maybe once a year I call in with a question about seat selection and the service has been good. Is there a massive headcount hiding in the LHF that is causing prices to be so high? My assumption is that they are charging what the market will pay, not pricing based on their costs. The Athletic Department is a different question - people always point out bloat there and with the dual mens/women's AD structure maybe that was the case. I thought CDC had cleaned up some of that?
  16. I put in for 4 OU game tickets like I did last year, we will see… 50K buys some pretty nice Georgia tickets on the secondary market…
  17. She's awesome and my favorite player on this team. Major heart. If she can boost her 3pt shooting and develop a teardrop she'd be unstoppable. Especially the teardrop because she's fast enough off the dribble to get into the lane on almost anyone.
  18. Split the difference, 625 yards!
  19. Happens in business too - the Board wants XYZ and isn't listening to the management team so you hire BCG or McKenzie to say the same thing and they're like "Oh, ok!" lol $50B for systemwide. They identified $1.6B of lines where you could make the business case to do it.
  20. After the ice storm a few years back, Austin Energy commissioned a study on what it would take to bury Austin's electrical lines. That study is now published: TL;DR - $50 Billion and negative ROI. On one hand, WTF. On the other hand, bravo to Austin for not just plowing forward with doing the project, then getting a few years into it and only then realizing it was going to run into the billions...
  21. I like CDC. But giving him credit (or blame) for the Sark hire is laughable. That was Eltife and $$$ driving that bus, CDC was along for the ride.
  22. All the ads are a beating. The reads, the injected ads, all of it. YES WE UNDERSTAND they need to do it to produce content and pay the bills. YES it still sucks ass. NO the YT app is not a great option. I listen in the car via CarPlay on iPhone's podcast app - no CarPlay for YT. The formula for OTF now is: Listen to only one of Coffee or Livestream - it's all a repeat unless there is breaking news. Skip the Babers/Shipley segments b/c Rod babbles the same "football investigator," "DBU," and Akina love things 5x over and over. Shipley spins the same tales of the old days again and again too. Skip "Hump Day with Hills" segments unless you are all about sunshine pumping over the top fake enthusiasm - hard to believe Bobby pays for that. Hit the :30 skip forward 6x at the top of the pod which gets you through the initial ad reads and the "tell us where you're at, tell us what you're drinking, and oh BTW super chats can interrupt the show at any time" disclaimers. Whenever an ad read pops up midway, hit :30 second skip another 6x. Nothing you miss won't be repeated again. With all that in mind a 1hr Coffee and Football can be done in about 20-25 minutes on 1.5x. All that said, I actually do like OTF. I enjoy Gerry's recruiting updates, every once in awhile Bobby drops some behind the scenes stuff. They are at their best when they disagree and debate, wish they did more of it. For all the flaws it's miles better than any other Longhorn focused pod.
  23. Arch's 60 yard scramble vs. UTSA will probably end up being the longest of his career at Texas. Vince was good for one of those every other game or so.
  24. Why would China go in opposition to their biggest ally Russia to get more rare earths, of which they are the world leader in today?
