  1. That's true but it's not a contest.
  2. Everything in moderation
  3. How about 17 years of mixed results?
  4. I personally think we should go by years attended enrolled, much better metric. Since I'm also a UTEP former student I already had an opinion on RT, and that was he's a guy who excelled at finding good players, but his teams underachieved and players didn't develop. It was frustrating because you know that getting talent to El Paso is a tall order and the fanbase was excited about his teams here. That said you see guys like our last coach build their entire reputation on one FF run (tho it'll be interesting to see what he does this year) and you wonder how many coaches could really kill it at a place like Texas but, absent that magical FF run, they are forever going to be stuck at the UTEPs and Fresnos of the world. I'm just conditioning myself for our FF run this year and RT as HC next.
  5. The fact that they dug wells and there was fucking water there is what was/is remarkable (and why a water utility now owns it). Water's kinda alkaline. Alfalfa, cotton, and some grapes. There are large areas on either side of Dell City where you cannot find water at any depth (not a geomorphologist). I had heard of that.
  6. My old man's godfather is from Ft. Davis, and I still go down to Lajitas etc. now and then, so I've driven by this place over the years and had never heard of any of that. Yeah I've wanted to explore those roads myself, but never have. Went out there around when EPWU bought the place.
  7. edit: working for El Paso Water Utility (they bought Dell City about 5 years ago)?
  8. I celebrate the entire catalog, but I typically have a bottle of Tabasco in my glove box. Although sometimes it is Cholula (better on potato chips). csb when I was in the oil field I became notorious when one of my crew asked if I had any hot sauce in my truck and I replied, "What kind?" /csb
  9. Hay day makes more sense.
  10. I am surprised by results so far. Didn't think anybody would give him the job for anything short of FF.
  11. Man on the street - "TARP?" Banker - "Govt. had to give the banks money to save their asses." MoS - "Sounds like a bailout." B - "The banks paid the govt. back, with interest." MoS - "Oh, that sounds more like a loan." B - "A loan nobody else would offer, and the banker knew he was protected by the regulator. He was in his wedding, so that enabled his excessive risk taking..." MoS - "Yeah, I'm never getting that kind of treatment. Who are you?" B - "I'm that banker. I was fired and am unemployed now." MoS - "Well I guess that is appropriate, but still. I hope you can find another career and be useful." B - "Nah, I sold all my stock before anybody else knew things were pear shaped. I'm worth $20M" MoS -
  12. It does make a ton of sense for the bank. But also prompts borrowers to exceed the insured limit.
  13. I don't know but I think charging $1,100 a credit hour and doling out no-doc $150k+ loans, that are not subject to bankruptcy, to every HS kid with a pulse for an "education" that may or may not contribute to the earning potential of the liable party is a pretty solid grift.
  14. That TARP wasn't a bailout?
  15. I can't find a link but upthread somebody posted that SVB incented clients to keep more deposits with them via favorable loan terms? So it sounds like Roku et. al. may have maintained deposits in excess of insured-levels not because they did no risk mgmt. but because they needed/wanted those better terms. Maybe we shouldn't allow that (banks to encourage customers to exceed insured deposit level). It also sounds like a lot of their customers don't have significant revenue so their deposited loan is how they make payroll, next week and every week after that. So without any cash flow to fund ops, you are more likely to see a bank run. But I'm an idiot.
  16. Yeah it's not the term it's the buyout.
  17. too late to edit but you can see a roll-off in this Street View from 6/2022 https://bit.ly/3JphdQh
  18. I think I found it, maybe, 810 Goliad St Ck. street view from: 32.248433, -101.469646 https://bit.ly/3ZyMvtA
  19. Always thought Swayze should shoot the abandoned Mental Hospital (?) or whatever right there in Big Spring (unless they have torn it down). I can't find it now but I drove by there many years ago and snooped around outside some. Looked proper spooky.
  20. I've been on a few ranches up around Springer, Clayton etc. If there is good ranching anywhere in NM Des Moines haz it.* I doubt the Route 66 gift shop does that much business. * Nearest tourist attraction - Goodnight Loving Trail rest area
