re: Trump administration proposing a $10,000 tax credit for buying a new American made auto.
Posted by OldManRiver on 1/16/26 at 3:26 pm to bhtigerfan
It's not "proposed", it's already here via the Big Beautiful Bill. It's also a credit on interest paid, not the purchase price.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" (One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act) introduced a temporary federal tax deduction for interest paid on new, U.S.-assembled vehicle loans through 2028, allowing up to a $10,000 deduction for personal use vehicles with final assembly in America, phasing out at higher incomes ($100k single, $200k joint), but it also ended some EV credits after September 2025. This new deduction applies to cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and motorcycles purchased with loans after December 31, 2024, and is claimed as an "above-the-line" deduction, meaning you don't need to itemize

The Blue Devils, more often associated as a basketball powerhouse, received a commitment from Tulane transfer quarterback Darian Mensah on Dec. 11. On Monday, CBS Sports reported Mensah’s NIL deal with Duke to be worth $8 million over two years, with a $4 million average annual salary that would make him the unofficial highest paid player in the history of college football.

Went there the first day of the CFB playoffs, watched the 4th quarter of Miami/A&M and then some of the Tulane/OM game
Wife and I were 2 of 4 people total the couple of hours we were there on a really nice Saturday afternoon that was just a little warm for December

re: Houston OL David Ndukwe has had his medical waiver approved for the 2026 season
Posted by OldManRiver on 1/15/26 at 2:10 pm to brettamedee
Just looked up his career history
True Freshman at Western KY in 2020 - played 7 games
Soph in 2021 - played in 6 games
Junior in 2022 - didn't play, RS
Transfers to Houston, Covid year means he starts as a RS Soph
Played 3 games as RS Soph in 2023
Full starter as RS Junior in 2024,
RS Senior this past year, played 3 games then had a knee injury ending his season
You'd be getting a 24-25 year old grown man with years of experience. Sign me up please

The next big thing that comes to fruition as a result of the breathless pronouncements from the podcast and twitter bros will be the first
Real, actionable items happen quietly and are then announced when they happen
Think of all the drug busts and the child trafficking rings broken up by the FBI. Kash and co weren't on Twitter every week screaming about what was going to happen, and how they were going to do it
We just got a press release that arrests had been made and a successful operation was carried out

re: Texas True Freshman OT Enters Portal | Nick Brooks
Posted by OldManRiver on 1/13/26 at 3:14 pm to iPad
This dude didn't just hop in the portal for no reason, nor would UT ever let him go without knowing they were upgrading
I'm guessing it was a lot like Heard at Tenner, they got a better LT, asked him to slide to RT and he bolted
If Texas is getting Seaton, Brooks probably didn't want to get pushed out of position

re: Hard to get excited about any player coming when they're only there for the money, not LSU
Posted by OldManRiver on 1/12/26 at 7:15 pm to homemadeshine
The problem with your premise is your idea that pre portal/NIL, it was all "for the love of the game"
I was undergrad at LSU from 94-98, and my campus job was in the financial aid office. Back then, Pell Grants were the way the schools compensated the players, almost all of them fell under the federal thresholds and were able to get money above and beyond the scholarship
Because of that, there was a steady parade of players in and out of the office, and I got to know some of them pretty well. You'd be surprised how many guys even then could give 2 shits about LSU the school, and were there just to hopefully get a way to the NFL. Even some of the "local heroes"
Guys were being paid to show up then, you just didn't realize it as much

Or, crazy idea, the plane HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH LSU OR SAM LEAVITT
The worst thing that ever happened was people finding out that Flight Aware exists, and that the MMR plane is sometimes used by LSU

Nakos posts LSU gets a commitment from Leavitt, then a few hours later says Tennesse was never told. He's clearly talking to both teams and Leavitt's camp here, you're telling me once he got the word from Leavitt he didn't immediately text UT for a response?
Hayes Fawcett got permission from somebody around Sam to make an edit and publish it. It's all games
re: Is Husan Longstreet out now?
Posted by OldManRiver on 1/12/26 at 10:42 am to Tiger30
He's got to decide now if he wants to play right away at a "lesser" program, or be the backup at a top level one.
Miami isn't going to take him in as the starter I wouldn't think, and I don't believe there's another top 25 type team that still needs a QB
If you can sell him on sitting one more year behind Sam, then it would be a huge pull and setup for the future

re: New ICE tactic: blocking off entire streets and going door to door
Posted by OldManRiver on 1/11/26 at 9:33 pm to Nosevens
Are they going door to door because the whole street is full of illegals they know about?
Or are they going door to door just looking for someone they might can arrest?
Those are 2 very different things IMO
