  1. Google says replacement heifers are going for about $5,000 ($4.35 / cwt). I don't maths but that's like 90m
  2. Buncha assholes fascists on this site. 20% edit: Well there's your problem.
  3. This reads like the background information that explains the twisted motive of the notorious Rainey St. killer who exacted his revenge due to the razing of his childhood home.
  4. Watching at work, better than nothing stream link: https://mygoodstream.pw/espn/espn3.php?id=14661b12-fe64-465b-9fa3-68c3c94a453a&co=us
  5. Normally this isn't my job but 7,1,2,4 5,6,3
  6. So you spit out your first sip of beer and that was that? Nice humble brag. I dipped Copenhagen for 20 years and I'm pretty sure all 7,300 cans tasted pretty nasty. Needless to say I drink a fuckton of coffee. And tequila.
  7. If Elephants understood and could express their opinion about living in Big Bend, I feel like they would volunteer to be poached in Africa.
  8. Gonzaga utterly failed to stop the ball after missed shots all game long last night. I don't see them getting directly to the rim like that today. I hope.
  9. Not that I disagree but this happens almost every year. My other response would be of course we know this because we hired Shaka Smart.
  10. Holy goddamn fuck Derka is the voice of reason on this thread.
  11. I originally thought they switched to avoid a Mexican sugar surtax, passed because gordos, but just read the surtax applies to any sweetener. edit: evidently their 10% soda surtax there led to almost 6% drop in consumption. My skinny brain tells me that. That's what its saying right now. I've never had weight problems, and quit smoking on a lark because my friends were talking about (they did not quit). But even I see that if I were fat I would probably stay that way.
  12. All those ARs the cops have are only good for shooting pets I guess.
  13. Our next opponent's leading scorer played for RT at UTEP. Already posted but as a UTEP fan I thought he overachieved putting a roster together (Souley Boum was a transfer), and then those teams underachieved. Boum was good but looks a lot better now. Just mo.
  14. Thought he was referring to Chris Ogden
  15. It would be interesting to see some analysis/comparison in admin bloat in grant writing and admin vs. everything else like water parks and 1,000 Assoc VP Provost of XYZ positions (some of these positions make multiples of the typical prof salary). I think a big part of that is the stagnation of Prof salaries. I definitely see the need for professors that are engaged in R&D in their field and how this is valuable for current AND future students, but I wonder if we have professors chasing grants incessantly as the only way to make more money or prestige. Perhaps we need to recognize the lack of other incentives like lack of pay competitive with private sector jobs of equivalent experience and skill. If you are a badass prof. you should be able to sit on your ass and still make, I dunno, $200k? without having to whore your staff out incessantly for (dubious?) research grants.
  16. Unless we find out why it is costing $40 for a fast food order and fix that talking about how to pay for it seems ludicrous. Tuition triples every 10 years. If we "fully fund" education it won't be very long before it consumes the entire budget. I need to ignore this thread.
  17. I don't see "administration" as a choice, but my very simple answer would be it appears by this logic then that students are subsidizing research by as much as $800-$1,000 per credit hour, which is criminal, if true. So I would arrest research, and double faculty salary.
  18. Apologies for the hijack of this thread but I can't edit and it the above is not CPI (inflation) adjusted, they use an "alternative" to the CPI they call the HECA (higher ed cost adj.). I can't find an exact number rn but it doesn't seem like a material distortion in this context*. But notable. * there was a 2015-2007 discount of a revenue figure that resulted in $12,723 using HECA and $12,440 using CPI, I would calculate and adjust this but I only paid $40 a credit hour so that is above my cost grade.
