I have looked all over the internet and can't find anything to confirm that Texas State received a 1/2 share offer from the PAC-12. But if this is true, then I'm going to be thoroughly p!$$ed off.

Math quiz time.

Let's suppose the PAC-12's new media contract pays $12M per school per year. But with the 50% offer, Texas State would only get $6M.

So, what happens to the $6M that Texas State is missing out on? It gets divided up evenly by the other 8 members of the PAC-12, right?

$6M / 8 = $750,000 per school.

So, we low balled Texas State with a 50% offer just so that all the other PAC-12 schools could each make an extra $750,000 per school per year??? A pathetic $750,000??? That's it???

Oh, my gosh. What kind of idiots are making these decisions?

Well, Beav, your President who promoted that incompetent twit Teresa Gould whose sole motivation is to keep her Commissioner job. Sad because she is actually a Coug (PhD). But our shitbag Prez was right there as well.

And OK, this link is lame, but it is up to 8 pages of comments on the WCS boared.

ICE, Greenland, etc. - this is getting so bad

Loyal Coug1
This was supposed to be an ICE/Greenland thread. There is a Tariff thread.

That said, I would like all you Trump lovers to justify this latest shit. We erroneously deport this guy and send him to the horrible El Salvador prison. Hopefully we can bring him home alive, although I read elsewhere that the Nazis - oops - Administration is not responding. Air Force One to Mar-A-Lago? No problem. An Air Force jet to El Salvador to rescue this victim? Eh, we will get to it....

Anyway, so the DoJ has already admitted that this deportation was in error. A 15-year DoJ veteran simply confirmed that in court and immediately was suspended because he did not, in the words of our Attorney General:

“zealously advocate on behalf of the United States,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a statement “Any attorney who fails to abide by this direction will face consequences,” Bondi said.

Geezus F-ing Christ. And I thought I lived in America. Oops - Amerika.

The biggest problem is the waffling and inconsistency. He says there will be tariffs, then delays. He says what they’ll be, then changes the rate. Even today he’s started waffling on the most recent announcements, suggesting there might be some flexibility.

The markets hate uncertainty, and that’s what he’s providing.

There could be a logic to it though…the hints at flexibility and pauses could create short-term bumps and some opportunities for profit.

I’m watching and trying to find the opportunity to profit, but I don’t have a lot of liquidity in my accounts for new trades. I’d have to sell to buy. But, the things I can get the most cash out of are almost certain to recover with increased stability, so I’d rather hold them. There are some underperformers I could dump…but it would be at a big loss right now, and wouldn’t net as much useable cash.

First world problems.

I’m guessing he wins some and loses some like most? He was on a pretty cold streak for a while to where there was actually an “inverse Cramer” fund tracker that was doing quite well.

Like Fox and CNN is to news (Entertainment) Cramer is to investing. Point being I wouldn’t put all your ponies on a 22% drop cuz Cramer said so. Nobody has a F’n clue what markets are gonna do tomorrow or a week from tomorrow.

That said futures down 4-6% so popcorn ready 🤯

Oregon Stater here who was at the OSU vs WSU games in Pullman in 2023 and 2019. WSU has nice fans, but I hate the crappy hotel rooms I end up in Lewiston after the game. Bought myself a real nice seat in the club section for the 2023 game.

I definitely have an opinion.

What absolutely sucks about the Martin Stadium sound system is when the cougar growl is played. It's downright pathetic! A joke! I hear that cougar growl and I'm thinking "Here, kitty, kitty! Here, kitty, kitty!"

You want to hear some real sound at a football stadium? Go to Reser Stadium in Corvallis and listen to our chainsaw! It's played out over the loudspeakers. That chainsaw is so awesome that opposing teams and fans just hate it. We play the chainsaw when our defense is on the field and it's 3rd down. It's like we have the world's largest Stihl chainsaw at Reser.

Long live the chainsaw!

Long live the chainsaw!

As far as what they are pushing out for "music", how about some diversity? I have listened to music for decades, has included several genres, and a couple years ago it was well into the 4th quarter before I heard a single song that I recognized. WTF? We don't need to hear rap/hip hop/whatever they call it constantly when there are so many options out there, so let's include something for everybody. Classic rock, even golden oldies from the 50's (Elvis, Buddy Holly, etc), country, even bluegrass, progressive rock, Motown soul, etc. Come on guys....MIX IT UP!!!!

Maybe Ann McCoy and the DJ she hired are trying to keep the students happy so they'll stay for the whole game?

Ignore? That's impossible. Trump wants Trump on your brain, and the media obliges. And even if I were somehow able to isolate myself from the media coverage, there would be your periodic rants on this board. Given that you use this board as therapy posting periodic rants about anything and everything related to Trump, seems like you ought to at least cover our memberships. Seems fair.

Congrats on the birth of your grandchild, an exciting time! Truly.

How’s it gonna hit when your grandchild reads a chapter in their psych 202 book at WSU about cults and there’s 20 pages dedicated to MAGA and his/her inevitable embarrassment over Grandpa and his twisted views because he was brainwashed by Fox News and balls deep in the MAGA cult?

We’re far enough into this I’ve already seen it happening with families and it’s incredibly sad.

Will engage dgibbons’ firm and rake in cash from the State for defamation.

So they’ll be pretty happy with a big fat trust fund.

His children and grand kids won’t want anything to do with him soon enough. He needs an intervention.

No she won’t. We are currently on a fantastic vacation trip and awaiting the birth of our first grandchild

Your life is the one that is unnoticed and insignificant. And lonely and miserable and depressed. But mostly insignificant and unnoticed.

You are now being relegated to ignore because that’s what your pitiful existence deserves and how you shall the rest of your days. In a self loathing vat lacking self awareness and ignorance.

While I agree with you about all the crap that is blasted at us with the stadium sound system, that is not the real problem. All sound systems, from $200 to $20,000,000 have limits to them. When you push the limits, you gat and inferior sound. The problem in Martin Stadium is they insist on pushing the system beyond its quality limits in order to get more quantity (volume). That ends up causing distortion in the output. A small reduction in the volume will provide better sound quality while still being easily heard by everyone in the stadium. Except Loyal, of course, who has passed out before the end of the first quarter! :)

And of course we have to put up with the lack of proper coordination between Glenn Johnson's feed, the PA music feed, and the referee's mic feed. Incompetence on parade there.

As far as what they are pushing out for "music", how about some diversity?

Whoever was running music for the Texas tech game last season can have the job as far as I’m concerned. Heavy on the 80s, mixed in some 70s, ignored most of the 90s-2000s rap/pop/dance.

You and Ed (Ed to a far greater degree) have an unhealthy obsession with pussy grabbing.

I don’t recall anyone demanding some kind of penance from you over Biden considering Robert Byrd his mentor or opposing desegregation. Am I wrong about that? Should you be labeled a racist? That seems silly to me, but would be completely consistent with the nonsense you spew here.
