$3 million to never watch the Horns again

[ztejas 43266]

Question got posed on /r/cfb (as dogshit as that subreddit is). 

Would you take it? If not, what would your number be? 

I don't think I could and I'm verging on a poor. Maybe that speaks to unhealthy obsession. 

[Helobious 9481]

I'd pay $3 million if it meant you could never post again. 

[atomheartbevo 89448]

I get $3 million if I stop watching?  

[Jkwellborn 6653]

Yeah I would. Fuck it. I’d find something else to watch. Like whoever the Longhorns were playing.

[Tex Long 4348]

What's backing the shmekel?

How many shmekels for a tank of gasoline?

[Deej 76568]

If you'd asked this between 2010 and 2016, my answer would be "yes."

[Nivek 16859]

I'd pay $3 million if it meant you could never post again. 

Venmo?

[Goredho 17349]

Fuck you and your indecent proposal.

[Bone3421 716]

I mean if this was actually able to come to fruition i think i would have to say yes...it would suck but i would think you still could be a fan and keep up with scores and stats

Does it count if the game just happens to be on at the bar with the sound on?

[immamac 42519]

No way I would do that lol

[texaslong 678]

What if I just watch the teams that play the longhorns every week?

[ztejas 43266]

The "on the bar" and "watch opposing teams" loopholes presumably wouldn't work. You only get the money if you never with your eyes see Texas on the field again. 

[atomheartbevo 89448]

I followed the Longhorns through box scores and articles in the newspaper for years.   I am confident I could follow them on the internet with $3 million in the bank.  

[TommyGufano 6021]

I'm probably saying yes either way, but I'd like to know if I have to pay taxes on this $3mm before I commit to my final answer

This is a great answer. Making me rethink my answer.

No just $3M straight. Wire to your checking account. 

[CoachTex 2620]

For 3 million? A definite maybe if and only if I could Craig way it and listen to the radio broadcast.

[Newdoc 3433]

This is Surlyhorns. That is one year of income for most of the registered board. Gonna have to up the offer.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

No way I would do that lol

Real question, and forgive me if this has been covered in the 8 years since I joined the shaggy/surly community, are you one of those aggy that regrets going there and wishes you had gone to the greatest university in the world? If so, I will quit with the aggy jokes directed towards you. Maybe.

[immamac 42519]

I don't wish anything, but I never really bought into the whole hate Texas thing outside of talking shit on gamedays. 

I'll tell you if I knew about the SEC move and the 2 fucktard presidents of the university who ruined it after Gates and my graduation I would have never gone there.

Now if I couldn’t watch YouTube/Vimeo, I sweat a little.  

[Bullneck 18987]

Just live TV or in person the game?

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

The answer is I would take the $3mil without hesitation no matter what, but there are a lot of follow up questions. Do I get to listen to Craig way live? Do I get to watch highlights? Can I watch Gamecast? Do I get to go back in time and not watch the last 10 years of longhorn football lol.

But that’s an easy yes no matter what. My family grew up poor, and I still have student loans out the ass, along with some other debt. If I could get rid of that stress and my parents could retire without having to worry about money for the rest of their life (they’re old) it would be worth it.

Lol I honestly think I might take it even if I had fuck you money, the more I think about it.

We need matthew mcconaughey to weigh in on this.

[SydneyCarton 47884]

Nope. Wouldn’t do it. Its a big thread in the fabric of my life. 

[BradInATX 9208]

Yeah. My first reaction was "of course". But then I think about all the good times with good friends I've had watching games both live or at someone's house. Lots of great memories, and there would be no more. I'd probably be fine just tailgating home games and getting the social aspect of that. But my social group is mostly late 30s with kids now and away games are one of the few times we can get the band together still at someone's house, have a few beers and make fun of each other.

 

Plus giving up the ability to bring my son to DKR, watch games with him, etc. That's almost unfathomable for me. I can't imagine missing out on the experience of his first game. I remember mine. It was cold, rainy, and we lost to Rice. It was awesome.

 

I don't know. I'd probably still do it but it would really suck.

 

 

 

 

 

[markstanco 12509]

During dove season, I absolutely do not miss watching games if I can hear Craig on the radio at camp around the fire pit drinking shiner.

Pay me my money.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

It’s real simple for me. I think about the time I have spent in the stands watching games with my pops and my brothers. Pass. Y’all can have the money. Pussies.

[TexArcher 37519]

I'd need more money.  $3 million means I can retire now at 43, but it's not some massive lifestyle change.

$20 million would do it.  $5M house, $3M yacht, a couple $1M vacation homes, and $10M to invest?  Never work again and travel all the time for 40 years?  Yeah, I'll miss it, but I'll miss it from the French Riviera and Hawaii.  Sign me up.

[tx 3 putt 76392]

Where can I sign up ?

[former alkie 72]

I'd take the cash, no doubt........I would certainly survive with the radio broadcast

my favorite fall saturday is fishing the bay and listening to the horns on the radio 

[ImissWallyPryor 9045]

Can I watch replays or highlights?  If yes, I might have to watch ESPN more than 2-3 times a year which would be the most painful part.

If I did it it I’d have to switch my season tickets to baseball. I’m not sure my heart could take that.

[Blanton 170]

I’d have to replace one addiction with another so I guess it would be cocaine, high class hookers, and premium scotch? For my family’s sake, I should probably take the 3 mil

How much we talking here?

[Armybrat 40744]

When they are on tv I never watch them, and at the home games I can’t see them on the field because of all the fans standing in front of me (old blue hair thing, y’know)

So yeah. 

I’ll PM you my bank deposit info and expect a reply ASAP.

[Sabalo 994]

I take it if I can still read the surl. I'll still know more than the people who merely watch the game.

[RollLeft 5040]

If you had to pick would you choose no arms or no legs?  

[52-80 19096]

lets say i have 30 seasons of football left.  thats about 400 games of football.  getting paid 7500$ for every hour of game time i give up?   sign me the fuck up.

[Cajun 11675]

I would do it, but I’d be a Craig Way listening mf’er with one of those boards like they used in WW2 to track armies and ships. 

Need a long ass bamboo stick with a curve at the end to move my pieces around.

Money’s coming from Nigeria via goat, so gotta give it a bit of time Brat.

No legs is the proper choice. Gotta have my arms to fap and smack your moms ass when I’m hitting from the back.

How often do we play Maryland in this future world?

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Yes.
