  1. God damn…. Should have sold this sucker when it hit $6. I would have only been down 75%. Well. Might as well ride this bitch to $0 like my WISH investment. My stonk portfolio might be the worst of any on this board. I’m down 80-90% on every stonk except UUUU. Need uranium to sky rocket to get this money back.
  2. So I came to find out today that 3 of the victims are my former employer’s best friends. The mom was covering her 6 year son and he survived. The mom, along with the dad and their 3 year son were shot dead. Only the 6 year old survived. I’m pretty certain I met them 5 years ago at my old bosses wedding. This is pretty fucked up. They had just celebrated the 6 year olds birthday and were out shopping. Fuck your guns. They need to be banned.
  3. Fuck man, I really can’t watch that video. I have an 8 month old son and I legit feel anxiety about this stuff. I can’t imagine those families that lost someone on a beautiful weekend spending time outside. Why is anyone allowed to have a weapon like that? You don’t need that for hunting or to protect yourself. It’s up to you guys that own guns to vote and get this shit under control.
  4. Hey remember guys, guns don’t kill people… people kill people or some bullshit along those lines. Sadly, if a guy going into an elementary school and executing kids doesn’t push the needle, this news will be forgotten tomorrow.
  5. Murphy has an elite arm. Guy can make every throw with a cannon. He’s probably the most pure pocket passer of all 3 QBs on campus. His mechanics, playing experience, and injuries are what are holding up back. If he continues to improve and makes a big leap next year, I’d put my money on him winning the starting job. Pure tools and physical traits, he’s a got 1st round talent. Let’s see if Sark can keep refining his skill set.
  6. Oh shit. IBRX above $5! I just need it to hit $32 so I can break even! Let’s goooo!
  7. I’m definitely on board with using resources to recruit older, experienced players. With pro basketball offering these 18 year old big money, it doesn’t make sense to expend a bulk of your resources on a 5 star that demands playing time and shots. Both our 5 star players could barely crack the lineup with older experienced guys on the court. We just had our best year in a decade plus with transfers that have proven themselves on the college level in some aspect. They understand what it takes to win at the college level and like Gerry said, you normally don’t have to deal with the bullshit from them like you do with freshman that have expectations. We should probably stick to what worked for us last year. Obviously I would take Ron Holland if he wanted to come here but look at the resources and time that were put into that recruitment and how it ended up the minute he got a better offer. Just not worth it in my opinion.
  8. Anyone else feeling good about this recruiting cycle. We’re in on some big names and there were a lot of positives about last season with coaching and developing. Another year of these young guys and some big time transfers, this team is being built to make a run. We’re in on some elite talent and probably lead for quite a few at the moment. Unless anything crazy happens, looks like Texas is retaining its talent. Need Sark to win this Bama game and we’re going to have another top 5 class.
  9. Lol at Georgia. They can fuck themselves. They’ve bought recruits for years now under the table. We played this game with both hands tied behind our back but with NiL, these schools will learn very quickly that Texas, USC, and Miami have resources that they cannot match from a funding standpoint. We need to do exactly what Riley has done and poach the best players on their teams.
  10. Eh…. This is more or less the same team as last year but better and we more than hung with Bama. I don’t think you can make any conclusions from this game other than we are definitely not a playoff contender and will probably be a 8-11 win team.
  11. I thought Ewers was okay. Not bad. Not great. I also understand it’s a spring game. With that said. Take away ranking and names on the jerseys… I’m picking Malik between all 3 based on an irrelevant game with vanilla play calling. Accurate and made good decisions decisively. Quinn is entering his 3rd year in college and he was ranked higher than Lawerence, Bryce Young, Tua, Caleb Williams, Kyler Murray…. Yet he doesn’t look anywhere near as good as any of those players at the same stage in their careers.
  12. Thompson has elite speed and that’s about it. He’s an athlete that played QB in high school. His route running, blocking, and pass catching needed work. Bobby has mentioned plenty of times that it would be a huge learning curve for a guy like him coming from a small school that isn’t used to having darts thrown at him at live speed. Cook and Moore are better than him in every aspect except elite speed. I wish he was on the team but he wasn’t going to get many reps. There’s 7 dudes ahead of him right now. And he skipped spring practice. With the way Sark can recruit WRs out of high school and portal, you better produce early or you will get recruited over.
  13. A healthy program is always churning out deadweight Thompson got passed up by two dudes who should still be in high school. I forgot Derrick Brown and Trevell Johnson were even on the team. Max Merrill should be thanking Herb Hand everyday for having to resort to his 30th option on the OL or he would be playing at Texas State.
  14. Fantastic interview and a huge fan of Sark. He’s had top 5/top 3 classes despite the win record. Dude can recruit. If he can stack enough talent and break through that 10+ barrier, this program will look like Bama UGA. It already is at OL, QB, WR, RB. He also mentioned in that interview this feels like a Sark team to him in the sense that it’s his players and culture. He seems optimistic.
  15. I knew Cook was going to be an immediate contributor/player when I saw the videos of him training with Evan Stewart and Cook looked just as good if not better in some aspects. What has me even more excited is that many players have mentioned Moore as the standout freshman of the early enrollees. Seems like Sark knows how to evaluate WRs and can get the elite ones on campus which is refreshing considering all the busts that have come through Texas the last decade with the exception of the 2018 year with CJ, LJH, and Duvernay.
  16. Bussey wants to play offense and we seem to want him on defense.
  17. Winning programs need guys like Red. That 2005 team had a “we’re gonna fuck you up” attitude and played like it.
  18. Every tournament team that makes it far has elite guard play. Once Carr and Rice got dinged up, it was going to be hard to overcome the shift in momentum. Those two carried this team quite a bit during the season when we needed people to score. In those last 10 minutes, they looked gassed and gimpy. This was the most fun I’ve had watching Texas bball in 15 years. Props to players and the coaching staff considering what they has to overcome. Let’s keep building this thing and make a run next year.
  19. Texas looks gassed, hurt. Need to make a push here and make some shots. Someone needs to step up on offense.
  20. Miami will get hot. Game of runs and momentum. Texas needs to keep hitting open looks when they get them.
  21. Some of you act like Rodney can’t recruit. He was huge in getting guys to Texas while Barnes was here. Some big time names that are in the NBA. Ron Holland and AJ Johnson are not coming here without Rodney Terry. The guy can recruit and he’s a great defensive coach. He clearly has eye for talent as Rice was a guy Terry brought to Beard. The players love to play for him. He’s out coached some very good coaches head to head this season. He understand Texas basketball probably better than any coach out there outside of Barnes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had very good success here. Hell we are playing better now than we ever were under Beard. This is the most fun I’ve had watching Texas bball since the peak Barnes years. Guy has earned the job and has kicked ass in every way while being the interim coach.
  22. Props to PK and Choate for identifying and getting him in the boat. He’s likely starting after Ford leaves.
  23. I bought it when it was $30.... FML
  24. I need a bit of advice. We are in the Dallas area. Wife and I bought a little townhouse 2+ years ago in old east dallas and now need to upgrade to a house as kids are in the picture. I would like to keep the townhouse as it's been gaining value and we can easily rent it out. Our neighbors are renting their unit and we can probably get 1k above our monthly mortgage. We have it 2.85% rate locked in and only had to put down 5% no PMI. Now rates are ridiculous. We're not in a rush to buy, but I want to ask the experts here. The houses were looking at 2 years ago were around 1-1.2 mil near lovefield off the tollway in dallas. Now they are 1.5-1.8. I'm looking at the same neighborhood. Basically they tearing down a bunch of old homes and building new ones. I have noticed, they have all been on the market 6 months+. Most of them have cut their zillow pricing 80-150kish and still sitting on the market. What would you guys do and what do you expect? 1. Will we have issues getting a 2nd mortgage as I do not want to sell our townhouse? I would love to rent it out and keep gaining equity. In your expert opinions, is it best to wait as we are not in a rush? 2. I imagine no one is touching these homes with the jacked up price and current mortgage rates. My buddy build his new home a year ago in the same neighborhood 500k less than what these other homes are being listed at. Generally speaking, if the price has been cut 100k in the last 6 months and let say it is listed at 1.5 million, would an offer for 1.2-1.3 get laughed at? 3. I know I spoke with UTPhil a few years ago but they weren't doing physician loans at the time or something like that. What can I realistically expect as far as rates go in the next year and are companies still doing physician loans? My BiL was telling me to do a 7 year arm and refinance later but this stuff can go over my head. Thanks for the feedback in advance. Just trying to educate myself before we do something stupid.
