Wait is there a time when Franklin’s isn’t crowded??? I live in South Austin so my choices are biased because of location.

It’s a little bit of both. Not only do they get the upfront pls money but not having to raise ticket prices means they will likely sell more tickets. Pretty much it is just a way for organizations to double dip

I have a couple questions since you’re the only person I’ve seen say they were on a Title IX board. Are there minimum requirements that a potential board member has to meet or is it open to any faculty member? How much training do y’all receive since the board is most likely out of scope of the position you were…

I understand what you’re saying but it is something you have to experience first before you judge it, at least where Red Rock is concerned. Its like trying to judge the Grand Canyon from a picture vs actually being there.

Do you think that is a sales tactic that HD teaches? Because a couple of years ago I went with my buddy to go look at some bikes since he was fresh off of deployment money. The sales guy kept making comments “you aren’t a real man if” comments until my buddy pretty much yelled, “Fuck off. I guess my 3 combat tours and…

Ehh not really. Both sides already pay companies that have the info of almost all eligible voters. The company hired by the GOP, DeepRoots I think?, left their database unprotected earlier this year. Pretty much if you have used the internet your consumer profile is in a database somewhere and its not hard to figure…

Ummm you can still have peace of mind with a thousand nuclear warheads. We don’t need the 9000+ we already have.

Yeah HOAs definitely belong in the “made sense in the beginning but now are completely out of control” category, right along with our civil forfeiture laws. I thinking about moving soon in Austin and it is hard enough to find a reasonable place. Trying to find a non HOA area makes it downright impossible. I do…

Well it can seem like that because Trump is a shithead, especially when it comes to issues like foreign diplomacy. I am not a fan of Trump but I can say, objectively I might add, that foreign diplomacy is easily his worst subject. Luckily Mattis as SecDef helps mitigate some of that but it still remains that this is…

As long as he is above .500 and can get to a bowl game they will give him a pass. I’ve seen some sites having them ranked high in regards to their strength of schedule but a lot of that depends on how the rest of the BIG 12 plays. If its like last year then it turns into a pretty soft schedule with USC being the only…

What really hurts the Big 12 is that they don’t have a track record of sending players to the NFL and obviously that matters to the top prospects. The entire league had 14 players drafted this year and I think 17 in 2014. Ohio State alone had 12 in 2016 and 7 this year, which was due to not having a lot of jr and sr…

I agree that LHN wasn’t about an arms race or delusions, but it was about greed. UT put itself ahead of the league and it has played a hand in the recent downward spiral of the Big 12. I honestly do think that this and Texas’ insistence on getting the league to do whatever benefits them the most is what lead to…

And that’s what is eventually going to get the rules changed, especially in cash strapped Southern states

The only successful thing DARE did was giving a crash course on how to identify all the different kinds of drugs. It didn’t keep me from smoking or drinking in high school, but dammit I could instantly tell the difference between heroin, crack, hash and meth.

Yes LeBron helped pick a roster that has won a championship and been to 3 straight finals. Yea LeBron got an NBA rookie coach fired and judging by the fact that no other team has made a run at him most likely means it was the right call. 90% of the Cavs deserve their contracts. And are you really asking for people to…

Except that Jordan did leave the Bulls twice by retiring. At least LeBron had reasons about leaving like the Cavs wasting the first 7 years of his career by not investing in the roster.

Actually I think it is the other way around with Magic and Jeanie being willing to sell their souls in order to get LeBron. Forget about winning but think about what signing LeBron does.for that organization. It helps them do a complete 180 by turning them from a tanking team to a team that will make it to the…

But on the other hand lets not forget that Jordan quit on the Bulls twice! The man many basketball fans see as the ultimate competitor has “retired” three times in his career, the first one of which may have been forced by the NBA because of his gambling addiction.

Well a lot of it depends on the context of the “experience”. I mean if someone is very skilled at a program the company uses vs someone who just is ok then there’s an obvious reason for the pay difference.

True but most government jobs are on a pay scale so you already have a base on what everyone is making. Also there’s very little poaching going on between government agencies
