Time to see how he handles the first crisis not of his own making. India Pakistan is heating up real fast

I actually think Jones is #2, though obviously Thompson is #1.

Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi
Austin: Billions of dollars of investment from Apple and tens of billions in investment in mobile hardware/chipset technology by Apple, ARM, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc. plus hundreds of billions in general tech related investment by tons of companies and the top engineering/science university in the state (you can look at ARWU, Nature, USNews, THE, QS, etc. and also the list of accomplishments by students and faculty of the school (recent Nobel Prizes, Djikstra (RIP), Dell, etc.)) College Station: Landline to nowhere? I wonder where smart kids see a future?

I hope A&M keeps him. Rather have him play for those clowns than play for OU.

Meh. I expect them to have the best offense in the country every single year until I'm told otherwise. So long as they don't get a good defensive coach and avoid getting too much defensive talent I am OK.

That was all Sam Darnold. Had nothing to do with Helton. And yeah they both sucked. No one here is denying that.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
Helton is way worse than Strong. Strong at least had high levels of success before and was an innovative DC at one point in time. Helton was bad at the time and with hindsight. Strong was decent at the time and was ever so slightly less bad with hindsight. Helton is impressively terrible in ways that continue to blow my mind. But more importantly for us this year, he's flamed out on top recruits this year before the season. This makes life good for us. Ohio State at least had to wait to get Texas guys until 5 games into the season before they could feel good about it

Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi
This is so funny to me as a guy that didn't grow up in Texas and wasn't a particularly religious guy (I'd go to the temple maybe once or twice a year at home and haven't gone since I left except when I visit family) and I was just blown away by how many churches there were and how many Christian student groups there were. I think I was invited to like 15 opening events walking down Speedway or West Mall and that was it with me trying to avoid anyone with a piece of paper. No Christian person will have any issues worshiping their God in Austin.

For your first question, I don't think so. I think he'll commit too late for a Malikmas. Though if he gives a silent early and let's people know it's possible. Hell even positive comments to other CA players could be useful. It'll be hard to actually evaluate the impact he has barring an early commitment though. As for your second one, unfortunately, I don't think Stanford will be much trouble for Oregon. We'll see what Auburn does, but not much hope there either.

He was the only one referred to by name with the appellation 'coach' in front of it. Riley got called Lincoln (after butchering it). USC's comment about coaches was just that they were disorganized. Oregon got a coaching staff is really amazing but no one mentioned by name. I like where we are. I see this being a Oregon/Texas battle that we have a pretty good shot at winning barring the two schools he mentioned entering the picture (Georgia, Clemson) causing some actual trouble. That'll be 9.95

That's my point. In college, RBs are not interchangeable at all. Only in the NFL are RBs largely interchangeable
-
Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi
While I agree with the general premise, I feel that Gurley may not belong in that same spot. CJA came in and did admirably in his absence. Imo there are like 5 RBs in the league that are truly special when compared to a replacement level player. Kamara, CMC, Zeke, Saquon, and DJ. Bell would be there if he comes back into the league. But like you said the pro game is very different than the college one. The fact that RBs are interchangeable parts there doesn't mean they are here. Reality would show them that is very much not the case.

Donald Trump 2019
Why are you conflating a progressive tax system with loopholes? Deductions and tax credits can exist in a flat tax system and you can have a progressive tax system without them. This is silly. Further credits and deductions have legitimate uses to encourage certain behavior and Pigovian taxes have consistently proven effective at inducing desired behavior. The small issue is that certain credits and deductions shouldn't exist. The big issue is creative accounting to get more income taxed in low tax areas and less taxed where it originated.
