  1. I think UT was this way originally with the Lambo group, but there's actually decent corporate money that view it as a low-cost way to get themselves associated with the school. AT&T, Nike, et.al. pay upwards of $3MM annually to be official sponsors. Lambo let's a kid drive a rental for nearly the same exposure.
  2. I'd like to add that Congress could pass a law tomorrow that reset the NCAA to where it was in 2000, and it wouldn't have the impact people think. Braintrusts and systems have been established that didn't exist back then. I know several people that have put careers on hold to build businesses around NIL. There's really no putting the genie back in the bottle.
  3. Was going to say the same thing. He was actual ass defending the run as well. His type of OLB get criminally overrated by fans and media because they can make 1-2 big plays a game and that's all people notice.
  4. I wonder how hard it would be to create a Surly chat bot to appropriately post the same 30 gifs over and over.
  5. The first thing I do when recruiting news breaks is call up my daughter's in-laws and discuss NIL deals.
  6. May update: From the beginning of the year, I'm down 16 lbs, 4.5" from the waist, and 2" off the hips. I'm pretty much on the pace for fat loss that I set for myself. I'm a little behind on lean gains. Not really worried about it, I'm focusing more on health and athleticism more than hitting certain numbers or bulking up. I'm pretty sure I'm thinner than I was on my wedding day a decade and half ago. I've been getting to the gym a lot more last month - I'm going during lunch, which limits time but greatly improves with consistency (4 kids and a lot of after school activities). I want to be more deliberate about diversifying workouts: zone 2 and zone 3 cardio, plyometrics, and white-fiber focused weight workouts into my schedule. I'm thinking about turning every 3rd workout into a revolving door. Will essentially one day per month actually going to be enough to get anything out of these? I was doing zone 3 once a week in the fall and didn't feel it was doing much. --- Commenting on the protein talk: it don't make a shit. Studies that identify a certain chemistry/mechanism in the body almost always fall flat when follow ups measure the actual final outcomes, or there's like one or two genetic outliers that carry the average. This goes beyond the body: complex systems generally don't produce the overall outcomes intuited from first-order results. If it is working for you, don't fix it.
  7. His arm was vertical last year compared to before. And you know what? It made him better. If he would narrow his stance a touch and get his hip rotation ahead of his shoulders he'd improve a bit more.
  8. 95% of NFL QBs. It's amazing to me that there's a contigent on this board that throwing mechanics don't matter.
  9. Now summarize it in no more than 10 bullets and reformat for darkmode.
  10. His issue was blowing assignments, understanding down+distance, and taking plays off. He's okay physically, so maybe this will be a wake up for him.
  11. Feel like I was one of the last holdouts to actually make posts on those. At some point they turned into gif celebrations instead of articles/discussion on the player. Which sicks because those were great to bump after 5 years.
  12. nvm. Thread is off the rails right now.
  13. And Duvernay has bad hands.
  14. New month: down about 10 lbs and 2-1/2" off my waist YTD. I'm bigger across the shoulders, arms, and thighs, so hopefully I'm also gaining some lean mass. Chest hasn't moved, but I carry a decent sheet of extra weight on it (no moobs). I have more energy than I have had in a long time. And that started with the healthy eating moreso than losing any weight, but it's only improving. I'm waking up earlier and less drowsy while not fading in the late afternoon.
  15. There's a couple things wrong with this and they are common mis-beliefs. 1) Only HS dropouts have more kids. For every other category the longer a woman stays in school, the more kids she will have. There are probably issues with causality leading to this common misconception. 2) Also, the age of first marriage and first child stays the same across every other education level. Waiting to establish a career isn't really a class or education thing (although it has changed over time). 3) Low income families are more likely to be dual-income and more educated women are less likely to work. This is a no-brainer once you think about, but we often celebrate the power couple and working mom more than the "normal" family. Still, the reality is that couples comfortable living on one income are the ones that do it, and educated women are more likely to find partners that provide that lifestyle.

  17. He is currently locked in a social prison in Britian. Pretty sure the Jews put him there.
  18. The last time we got one of those it worked out.
  19. A toric? Pretty sure that's super common in string theory. People take Weinstein's theories seriously. His main complaint is that so much of the $$$ and computational power in physics go to string theory.
