re: So all I need to do to afford a $750,000 house
Posted by Boomer88 on 3/18/25 at 8:51 am
I’ve got three kids under 35. A chem engineer, an Attorney and a recently graduated PA.
Two already own homes but went significantly more modest than $450k. However, they still grumbled about getting their down payments built up and complain about these historically favorable rates. But they didn’t do anything to make it easier.
What I’ve seen, this generation spoils themselves with trips to Florida, snow skiing, the Caribbean, etc. I see destination bridal showers and destination weddings. My youngest right now is holding invites to two destination weddings.
The point is, when I was first out of school, we didn’t spoil ourselves on trips and weddings 1,000 miles away…

If Heupel was a winner, it would have worked. But he’s not, and that’s why we fired his fat arse

I think of it more like Berkeley. It’s got that ultra fem thing going on…, Uterus, the Cal of the SEC

No sacks, no hurries, 250 yards on the ground… that’s reasonable

Bama and LSU have my attention the most. But this is the SEC, so that's how it should be. I'd feel much better about closing the year if LSU was in Norman.

I have some thoughts on this, but I would hate to upset the Nancys’.

They took the last 11 years records of all SEC teams plus OU/tx and then ranked them best to worst. And then used that model to set schedules.
When you know your objective its easy to identify the methodology to use.
I think you're being a bit naive.
Texas 10.5 wins - - OU 7.5 wins

So, let’s go to fantasy land and pretend Sankey didn’t bend over for Del Conti and flip the schedules.
I’m guessing both teams would go 9-3
