While true, it goes beyond that and is emblematic of small town thinking. If you're from a small town, you crave the recognition that you'll have "arrived" if only Chili's or Applebee's would open a franchise in your town. With one of them, you'll have made it to the big time fellas.

I have to admit I felt a twinge of this when Home Depot opened in my own home town - albeit, unsuccessfully, in a closed down auto dealership and was modeled after an Amazon Prime pickup location which subsequently closed. Of course, the locals blame its closure on the evil landlord for raising the rent on Home Depot.

But I digress... Apparently, Waffle House holds that sort cache in former Confederate territories (I don't why, because I've never stepped inside one and don't know the allure). For them, having one serves as a tangible marker of their successful transition. Screw "The Mess," whatever that is, in spite of it being a genuiine, home-grown, locally-owned place. Fuck that particular "tradition."

No, what aggy seeks is the sort of external validation that can only be heaped upon them through the location of an ugly redheaded stepchild to Denny's. It ain't *tradition* that matters to them; it's the flare of a recognizable brand as a social marker that they fit in. That they truly belong. That they conform.

But, as always, the joke is on aggy. No matter where they go, they're still who they are. And, really, there's no one who's very comfortable in their presence. 

Once they banned smoking in restaurants in FL (sometime around 2000), I became a big fan of Waffle House. Cheap, quick, and good. When you got out of town, it's like going to Five Guys. Low-priced with standardized menu. No (bad) surprises. Moreover, they stay open later before and reopen earlier after storms than everyone else. Kind of cool to eat at one less than 24 hours after a hurricane has come through.

Longhorn fans should feel free to talk as much shit over program revenues as they want to with the aggys. The fiscal year ends on Aug 31. That is the date the financial snapshot is taken for the 2018-2019 financials filed with the Department of Education reports than can be found here https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/

The aggy capital campaigns have ended and their reported revenues will fall back down to the $150 mil level (out of the top 10).

Meanwhile, with the SEZ pledges beginning to roll in, UT revenues are going to soar. And by soar, we are talking $220 mil in operating revenue, plus at least $125 million in SEZ pledges. 

I’m not sure if the timing of the SEZ income, but the $225 mil in operating income is in the bank, and some time between this fiscal year and next, at least another $125 mil will be recorded.

We very easily could see aggy drop from $200 mil in overall revenue to less than $150 mil and UT jump to well over $300 mil. Depending on a couple of factors, aggy could be below $150 mil and UT could post over $350 mil. 

Just giving people a heads up.

Unless there’s been a fundamental change in how CDC operates, we won’t be reporting donations as revenue the way other schools do. If we did we’d already be in the range you’re talking about. CDC has told people flat out he isn’t doing his accounting that way. So unless that changes we will still be in the 220 range. 

Del conte has discussed his own personal counter to the fake aTm revenues by releasing a “scorecard” that will detail exactly how much UT has spent on athletics and where it all went to, etc. But for some reason he doesn’t want to just play the donations as revenue game. He prefers to have other schools have to show how much less they spend on their student athletes. 

This info is almost a year old, fwiw, so maybe things have changed. But this is what he was telling the LHF last football season.

This is the correct approach, IMHO. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by crawling down into the mud with the inbreds -- it's not like their propaganda works on anyone who wasn't already an aggy anyway.

There is surprising little leeway in how the accounting is done. The discrepancies stem from the different reports that are compiled differently. 

The Department of Education numbers are based off the fiscal year and generally do not include capital campaign revenues.

The NCAA numbers are done on a calendar year basis and include all revenue sources, but report operating expenses separate from capital expenditures. So the press reported operating and capital donations combined, but did not subtract capital expenditures. Their "profit" was actually their capital expenditures. For the same year, Texas' operating plus capital donations was reported, but the capital donations were essentially $0, so while aggy got credit for operating revenues and capital donations, Texas only has operating revenues and an apples/oranges comparison was reported.

Now that aggy's capital donations have fallen to $0 and their operating revenues are at $150 mil, their total revenue numbers will be around $150 mil annually. For Texas, the $220 million in annual operating revenues will be supplemented by capital donations of at least $125 million from SEZ. The question is whether donations will be recognized in 2018-2019 or 2019-2020, or even 2020- 2021. We know for 2018-2021 UT will recognize at least $675 million in operating revenue, and at least $125 in capital donations. aggy will report about $450 million in operating revenues and $0 in capital donations.

So the question becomes how does Texas recognize their $800 million in total revenue. A&M will report about $450 million. Texas' debt will remain at around 7% of operating revenues. A&M's will remain at roughly 18% of operating revenues. The ags were bleating about roughly $60 million in "profit. That number for Texas could balloon as high as $175 million, more than aggy's gross annual revenues.

Bottom line, regardless of which report is reviewed, the disparity in the two programs will be jaw dropping. The only question will be just how jaw dropping. There simply is no way to massage the numbers to alter this.

The DOE numbers are available for all schools receiving federal funding and are in a public database. The NCAA reports are available only via an open records act request and only public schools are subject to those requests.

The reporting is subject to the fat that figures don't lie, but liars figure.

Take the aggy "endowment" figures.

The ags are a branch of UT Austin, with a non-PUF endowment of roughly $500 mil. Yet, they claim to be the wealthiest public university in the nation, with an endowment of over $11B, almost 4 times that of UT Austin. And the idiot reporters lap up their claims.

The aggy athletics revenues will decline to around $150 mil.

The UT athletics numbers will be at least $225 mil, plus whatever fraction of the $125 mil SEZ donations CDC chooses to receive from donors in the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

It is what it is. And it can't be changed at this point.

I wasn't going to post this for a couple reasons, including that I think people will laugh at me but here it goes.

A few hours ago I had two of my three dogs out for a walk both on leashes. They are Jack Russells one 14 lb the other about 20. Two 90ish lb Pit Bulls with no collars or owner came bounding down the street. I scooped my two dogs up and tried to walk quickly without them noticing us. No luck. Jumped into the back of a parked Pick Up and they then started jumping up and trying to bite at me, get in. For some reason one got spooked when I yelled and the other followed allowing me to get out and away. 

I didn't have my pistol on me that I normally carry and yes I have a LTC. 

If I did shoot one or both of the dogs what would be the most likely legal outcome?

Apparently all that practice in skewing online polls is beginning to pay off for aggy.  They are one step closer to their idea of nirvana. 

While College Station received the most votes in Waffle House's Twitter poll on which city should receive a visit from the chain in September, it was announced Saturday morning all three cities won.
According to the official Twitter for Waffle House, the chain will visit the Clayton W. Williams Jr. Alumni Center on the Texas A&M campus from noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 4. Waffle House will also be visiting San Antonio and Oxford, Mississippi.
In a poll posted early Friday, Waffle House asked which city should receive a visit. Out of more than 69,000 votes cast, College Station received 44%, with San Antonio receiving 34% and Oxford garnering 22%. The chain announced early Saturday that they "couldn't choose just one city" to visit.
