@TexasBaseball @TexasLonghorns I think these are regional SEC announcers. Like Galindo did Texas basketball games when they were in SEC+

@TexasBaseball @TexasLonghorns Those announcers are annoying. One is high talker and one and one is a low talker.

Auburn Game 1 thoughts:
-Robbins with two big shots
-Ruger was nails
-Laffew with some nice relief
-This team needs to stop watching fastballs
-Friday night has been unkind to Texas late in SEC play
-Not sure why we brought Laffew out for the 9th, not sure why we wait until there is a mess to make a change and not sure why we didn’t bring Burns in to close the game
-Losing baseball games is not fun. Losing them like that is a nut punch.
-The approach at the plate is puzzling. Texas batters seem to be down 2 strikes all the time
-Making a habit of losing winnable games seems problematic
-Go win tomorrow

@LHFanBattle The center fielder is to blame for this one. He completely missed played that.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild.
A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute.
Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home.
So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room.
The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely.
The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running.
Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.
