  1. I raised all my prices this year as well. I have new grad staff that I’m paying $45 an hour with a 2 year associate degree. Salaries have got out hand. Supplies are all way more expensive now too.
  2. Sorry I just saw this. She works for Berkeley Research group. She majored in accounting and then got her MPA and is now on her last cpa test. Hopefully it will open more doors for her.
  3. Damn, this was a tough loss, but if they bring this effort in defense, we’ve got a chance in the tourney.
  4. Jeez, Demas and Shepherd were huge massive busts. Waste of resources, time, and effort.
  5. Some of you need to revisit these threads from less than a year ago when we were basically projected to be last in the Big 12 with 3 returning players or something like that. We’ve beaten two top 15 teams and played a final 4 Baylor team well enough to lead the majority of the game. We’ve probably locked up a 5 seed and these games are good for a team that’s barely played a season together to get them ready for March madness. If this team makes it past the 1st round, they will have accomplished more than any other Longhorn ball team in the last 6-7 years in a year where we were projected to suck shit through a straw. Enjoy this season and enjoy Bears building a good program in probably the most competitive conference.
  6. Baylor is a fucking good team. Texas hung with them and if the shots fall, they probably win this game. Just need to get the shots to fall in March.
  7. If our coaches and alum are smart, they show Reuben the money Bijan is making and the life Bijan is living. If you follow him on Instagram, the dude is hanging out with celebrities and artists every other weekend. He’s basically living the life every high school 16 year old wants. They have to sell the long term NiL “bag”. We can win this recruitment but we’ll need a few things to go our way. 1. Bijan needs to have another big year and get drafted. Sark has shown he can highlight talent. Our offense is attractive to RBs. 2. Sell the SEC and tell him we’ll be joining the league his freshman year and Texas is going to have a lot of eyeballs as every team is going to make us their prime time game. We’re Texas bitch. 3. Show him how much Quinn Ewers and Bijan are making. Elite talent will get paid. The rumored 5 mil NiL deal for Ewers dwarfs the million dollars or so aggy used to buy Walter Nolen. Sark has to be ruthless. The recruiting game has changed. The rules have changed. If you’re not going to weaponize the resources we have to offer, then he should not be leading us into the sec to compete. Lastly, get Arch and this recruitment tilts in our favor.
  8. I stupidly sold my xom stock at $55. I’m an idiot.
  9. You’re putting a lot of faith in a program where loser mentality has become the norm. This same team gave up on the season after their monumental collapse against ou and rode their way to the worst losing streak in program history. If they start 0-2, they are more likely to finish bowl ineligible again rather than 9 wins. But I agree, 9 wins and everyone will be sucking Sarks dick and the AD will give him an underserved extension like we did with Herman.
  10. That’s not what he said. He said people will look past a loss to Bama game bc everyone expects us to lose. But people will be up in arms if we lose to UTSA. Given their successful year last year and Jeff Traylor constantly trying to link his name with the Texas job, they’re going to spend all offseason trying to make sure we go 0-2. A loss to UTSA and Sark can kiss any chance of being our head coach after year 2 good bye. You can’t lose to Kansas at home and then follow that up with losing to UTSA at home again. Basically he wants Sark to know that he can’t lose to Traylor and his team if he wants to be the coach here long term.
  11. Damn Harrison, I told myself I wasn't going to invest anymore as I'm down big but I may say fuck it and toss in nice position if you feel that great about it. Fuck it... one of these stocks has to hit right? Better be UUUU....
  12. @phdhorn thanks for the response. I can definitely wait till summer. I just need it before September. My BiL told me he had a 10 month wait to get his car so I just want to make sure I don't get myself in a situation where I'm waiting past September. You're right though, fuck paying 5-10k over invoice. I'll wait it out...
  13. Alright, last time I bought a car was in 2014. I need to upgrade to a SUV. Looking at the X5, Cayenne, RX, the infiniti and Audi ones as well. Should I expect to pay MSRP and/or above? I don't need the car for another 7 or so months so I have time to shop and order one to be built if it's cheaper that way. What's the best way for me to get one of these vehicles at the best price? I always buy certified pre-owned where they are 1-2 years old with under 20k miles to get a better price point. After looking at used car prices, I may as well buy a brand new one. I really want the Cayenne but it's right at the top of my budget and I'd rather go for the better priced car. Looking at the X5 and leaning towards it. Anyone care to share their experience with the X5? Any problems with it? Reliable? We also plan on trading one of our cars in. It's a 2016 Merc CLA 250 with about 70k miles on it. I've never traded a car in. What's the best way to get the best value back? The car is in decent condition outside of a little scratch on the bumper that is easily fixable. Is expecting 10k trade in value unrealistic or is that too low? I just don't want to get ripped off when I start this buying process.
  14. We were penciled in to finish dead last in the conference before Beard.
  15. Storm the court! Lmao
  16. Bitchass Bilas… he can fuck himself
  17. Yup. But the teams we want to compete with have 10-15 guys that can do it…. Last years team had maybe 3 guys that could.
  18. Lets see how Alexis is after his recovery. JWhit still can’t run as fast after his surgeries. I would say Dixon, Brooks, and Crawford. Not sure how fast Watts is. I haven’t seen elite speed from Baron. No way on Gbenda lol. Gary Johnson ram loke a 4.48 and Malik a 4.5. Gbenda is probably a 4.65 guy.
  19. Too much math. I’ve watched enough football to know which of our players run below a 4.5. Devon Duvernay ran a 4.38 I think at the combine. Outside of Worthy and Keilan, and mayyyyyyyybe D’Shawn Jamison, who else do you see on this roster with his type of speed? I would be willing to bet we probably have less than 6-7 guys that can run a sub 4.5 on this entire roster which is fucking sad.
  20. Lol Owens is going to aggy unless UGA, Bama, or LSU drop a fat stack. Aggy has realized that even when they pay recruits, people would still choose other programs where they get the same money. They have decided they are going to win a championship and I cannot believe those morons did it in this fashion and the ridiculous dollars they are giving iut. Those guys went out and bought the top 3 DL in the country …. Without a DC. And then went on to buy more 5 stars that have stated they would never go there only to commit there after 1 visit. I will say, these guys are all freshman and they still have to produce. Outside of Bama, they looked terrible this year. Those recruits are going to jump ship after they go 8-4 again.
  21. I imagine with their recent outbursts with regards to Texas/ou joining, completely buying an entire class like Ole Miss did but took it to another level, and then Jimbo publicly threatening to expose Bama, Ole Miss, and UGA…. That can’t be sitting well with the SEC commish. How soon before the conference mates demand an investigation or vote them out and how hilarious would it be to take the one thing they had… “sec sec sec”.
  22. I’ll be honest. This team looked bigger and faster under Yancy. We had injuries forsure but whatever they did in S&C last year had us looking and playing worse than Kansas.
  23. Texas has seven 5 stars on offense. Ewers, Bijan, Worthy, Whittington, Sanders, Banks, Campbell. This offense is going to look good once they get close comfortable in this system.
