To be fair, that ball was slicing and could've easily gone foul after it kept the camera view.


No way, it wasnt even close to being foul when it vanished and it was already almost right there
That looked clear as day fair on the foul pole shot
No fkin way that was foul

re: Refinancing Vehicle

Only reason to consider refinancing vehicle is if the interest rate is much lower.

If you're going from 12% to 7%, sure, maybe so that if you aren't super into current loan.

If you're taking a 5 year loan you've paid 2 years on already for a new 5 year loan with a similar or worse rate just on a lower balance to "lower" your payment, you're doing poor people stuff.

Never think in monthly payments

This

Long travel for most A&M/OU fans
Workday
2 mediocre bubble teams the fans probably dont care much about with early NCAAT exit written all over both even if they do get selected

Why anyone would expect them to show up to an SECT game in that scenario is...interesting to say the least. Might as well just save your money and PTO and wait for the NCAAT or a better season
Just expect to see

"BP posted record profits"
"Chevron posted record profits"

Coming up :lol:


I do think it's hilarious just 3 weeks ago the president was bragging about how cheap gas was to the national audience only for this to happen a week or two after and having to save as much face on that as possible

Does access to espn and all its content like sec+ come with the base package ?



I dont think many know youtube tv just changed their packages very very recently, its not just one pay for all subscription any more.

They now have just a "Sports" tier for $54.99/mo (new users) which includes ESPN/SECN and will get you access to SECN+ on watch ESPN app since you have ESPN family of networks through a tv provider

ESPN+ is the only thing you wont have with that, which is separate.
Dude has run out of players almost to even field a competitive team for a tournament

We played 7 guys against Kentucky. 4 players had to play 33+ minutes. Tamba was on the floor for 30 minutes for crying out loud
quote:

In theory if you made the pole longer couldn’t these guys go way higher than it currently is?



There's no length limit to the pole itself, and yes in THEORY the longer the pole the more height you could go. The problem is they've have maxed out around 17-17.5 feet for a while now because poles beyond that cant really be used. You still have to run with it, plant it properly and have it bend just a certain way. Once it gets too long it doesnt do what you want anymore.

It's not like they can just create a 19 foot pole and it be use to clear 21-22 feet all of a sudden, it has to actually work the right way. They are working with the limits of the technology they have now.
The previous world record before Mondo broke it was 6.16M or 20 feet 2.5" in freedom units

Mondo is now up to 6.31M or 20 feet 8.25" in freedom units.

The dude has added half a foot to the previous world record holder over time which is pretty insane. Keep in mind the pole vault pole itself maxes out around 17-17.5 feet. So going at least 3 feet higher the tippy top of the pole itself and completely clearing the line.

People trying to make light of the fact he breaks the record by less than an inch each time really dont get how unprecedented it is he's already at the heights he is and breaking it each time is going to be by razor thin margins.
Milam's BABIP is insanely low

The guy has struck out just 3 times but has a .250 BA

He's taking walks and putting the ball into play and just getting pretty unlucky.

Defensively its hard to argue anything much short of perfection there.
I dont think it can be completely overlooked he lost Thomas + Reed for most of the SEC conference play, but it should not be close to a reason to keep him around either considering hes still never made the tournament here in 4 years.

Even if you flip every close SEC conference game (which is not an exact science by any means) we had we're 8-10 instead of 3-15 and likely not in the tournament due to a meh OOC with only notable wins over UCF and SMU who are basically bubble teams right now.

It should never be acceptable here to miss the tournament 4 years in a row for 1 coach. Especially when McMahon wasn't facing crippling sanctions or something. He lost what, 1 scholarship for his first couple years here? Yeah, thats not the reason we havent been decent at all the past 4 years. Simply didnt bring in enough good players, or coach up the ones he had to any real notable success.

What does that have to do with firing McMahon



I dont know that they will fire McMahon without being supremely confident they can get Wade. Not to say they definitely wouldnt hire someone else but its pretty clear who they are all in for at the moment.

The portal opens March 24, they will wait till April 1 to get Wade if they have to I think but if they feel like they cant get Wade last minute, not sure they would want to bring in another coach they are behind on getting so late in the portal process. We know we are basically building yet another whole new team from the portal. Much more difficult to do that if we dont hire someone till mid-late April vs. late MArch-early April.
