    Except that property taxes are ~30% higher down there. I know this first hand, as I’m doing a LOT better with taxes up here than I was in Texas. 
     

    People need to drop the myth that by not having state income tax Texas is some great Tax shelter. If you own any property you pay substantially for it. Plus let’s not overlook the 8.25% state sales tax (which is higher in certain cities). And add to the fact that property valuations are skyrocketing and while there’s a 10% cap, your valuation can change every year (opposed to every two years in NE), property owners are guaranteed a 10% increase in valuation EVERY YEAR…likely for the next decade or two until valuations catch up to actual values. 
     

    Now car renewal taxes…those are the only taxes in NE I find to be ridiculously excessive. 

     

     

    I think the property tax rate in College Station is very comparable to Lincoln with both being ~2%.  Trev will really benefit from no state income tax, it matters more for higher earners.  I know from first hand, I was better off in Houston vs. Omaha from a tax perspective.  I would immediately gain $15-20K a year just by moving.  Also, salaries in Nebraska are trash.

  2. The throw was where it needed to be and Kemp was in the right spot.  The only thing that blew the play was Coleman.  He was supposed to be inside, thereby vacating the outside, but he didn’t get his a$$ to where he needed to be, this his defender happened to be in the throwing lane and got an easy pick.  
     

    Purdy throws that ball assuming the receivers do their jobs.  Kemp did his, Coleman did not.

  3. Oooo Mike Gundy

    Whittingham would be great. Wish we'd hired him in 2013 when he interviewed. What gives me pause there is that it seems well understood at Utah and by national journos that he's retiring within the next 2-4 years, which sucks because he's almost typecast for the job.

     

    Gundy would be great too and I know he wants out of there. He'd bring a great staff. Honestly he's my top choice outside guys with huge price tags (Urban/Aranda)

     

    Herman has a lot of red flags rumor-wise from his time at OSU and Texas that make me think he's not in consideration. I'd rather bring in someone who's currently coaching. Being away from the role for an extended period affects performance.

     

    Gundy is intriguing, he's done a solid job at OSU with the talent they have.  I recall reading some article that he was interested years ago in coming here.

  4. That’s comedic but only because it’s a representation of how weak and sensitive our society is.  I assume dumb dumb football player isn’t paying attention because he’s texting on his iPad.  Coach doesn’t like it so he reads aloud what’s on the iPad, but it contains a word that people of only a certain skin tone can say as nauseam.  Player(s) get “offended”, therefore coach must go.  Some animals are more equal than others.

    So true!

     

    Non-zona girls that go there for college must hate it...like a hot girl from another state that goes to college there is in for a rude awakening when they see that a zona 8 is like a 10 everywhere else in the USA.


    Haha yep, a very pretty high school GF of mine went there for a quick year.  She transferred back to Kansas.

    When you lower your head you are going to get flagged every time. Doesn’t matter what other player is doing. If you don’t lower head you can deliver the big hit on the runner. 


    I hear you, it’s just completely unrealistic.  On every play, players are lowering their heads.  It’s a natural reaction when getting hit and when hitting someone.
