Maybe someone could start an Oscar Giles thread so the rest of us don't have to watch the same fucking circle of argument every third page of this thread.

This sounds like a hell of an idea. Texas should definitely try winning and see if that helps.

I don't know - lets spend three pages talking about this completely new information.

each of you arguing about Peterson are fuckwads...big, giant wads of fuck. this is a mockery thread centered on entire nation of idiots and the idiot things they do politically, not some monocular focus on a particular pseudo-intellectual fucknugget who likes the smell of his own farts. fucking hell.

We don't know or understand a fucking thing about the future other than it will be a lot different than any of us predict. We're a narcissistic species with a terribad case of myopia and self-importance. Earth will look a lot like it does now well into the future, at a macro-level. A fucking nuclear holocaust would hit a human reset button and largely do nothing to the earth and its climate beyond a decade-ish chill. 120-150 years is an insignificant speck on the ass of this rock's life. Hell, 500,000 years of human development is basically nothing in the course of the earth's history. We fundamentally do not understand chaos at a cosmic level, nor the infinitesimal impact our existence has on it.

The Giles hate is absolutely ridiculous at this point. Everywhere Giles has been his defensive lines have been good and significantly improved. Houston's DL in '14: 119th in adjusted line yards and 37th in rushing defense. Houston' DL in '15 and '16 under Giles: 59th and 2nd in adjusted line yards. 8th and 4th in rushing defense. Also of note, Louisiana Tech's DL finished 4th in adjusted line yards the 1 year Giles was there. S&P stats don't go back as far as '13 in terms of adjusted line yards for DL, but I guarantee there was a significant improvement with Giles taking over in '14. Giles is a huge reason Herman had success at Houston. Houston became an elite DL under Giles and controlled the line of scrimmage in the run game. Giles is a damn good developer of talent. Matter of fact, Giles is probably the best coach on staff in terms of actual coaching ability.

While I was in Dallas I stopped by Freddie King's grave to pay my respects. It's a real come to Jesus moment when you see your headstone before you die:

Sure, that's one way to go but I choose to believe that Leal is now a silent double agent for Texas. He will destroy the aggey class from the inside.

Look, the guy fucking loves selling guns.

A lot of stupid on Surly today. If a kid grows up in a strong Catholic family and having that in college is important to him and his family, picking Notre Dame is not that shocking. It doesn't mean Giles sucks, or Tom can't recruit, or all the other hand wriging going on. It just means that a kid is picking the best fit for himself and his family. Good for him and best of luck.

Hickory. Smoked. Rack. Of. Pork. I absolutely love them. For the uninitiated, think pork's version of prime rib, smoked. Served with creamy Hatch scalloped potatoes and garlic parmesan green beans and mushrooms. Not pictured in final form: smoked au ju, which is stellar. If you haven't tried it... I fill a pan with 1 can chicken stock and an equal part water and place it under the rack while cooking. It collects the drippings and the smoke from the cook. While the rack is resting, I reduce the liquid and then serve in ramekins with the meal.

No, it just gets more embarrassing for Trump supporters to show their faces each day.

I once disclosed the details of a board meeting on a message board and then got sued for breach of my fiduciary duties. It was a lot of fun, I’d do it again for sure.

I share a driveway with aggy neighbor behind me. He's not real good at keeping up with yard / tree work. He's had a POS water oak in his back yard that leans out over the fence and into the driveway right above where I park my truck. I drive a crew cab diesel so I can't put the thing in the garage so it stays outside. The tree is a bird sanctuary that hasn''t been limbed up for several years and I get all sorts of bird crap and small branches falling out of that danged tree onto my truck. I ask him one day if he is ever going to trim the tree up. He' says he doesn't have a pole saw. I have one at my deer camp and I volunteer to bring it back so we can work on that tree. He's good to go with the plan. One Sunday afternoon I come back from my deer camp with the pole saw. As I pull in to the driveway, I notice that he has an arborist out and they are just finishing up pruning all of his trees. The place looks great...except the problem-for-me tree is still in its usual horrible shape. I ask the crew if they are going to prune up the shit tree. They reply to me, "uh, no. The homeowner says his neighbor has a pole saw and that neighbor said he was going to do that tree." Friggin' cheap skate, dumb aggy. I pruned it up all right. I butchered that thing so bad he paid the arborist to come back out 2 weeks later and cut the whole damn thing down.

Had a great day Saturday with the boy fishing the Channel Islands for rockfish. We bet $5 for the first fish, and $5 for the most fish. I owed him $10. (11 fish to my 7) Great fish tacos last night.

Some of you fuckers don't know the difference between "cheap" and "stealing". Cheap doesn't have to sneak. Cheap doesn't have to avoid "getting caught." Cheap can walk into a room bald-faced and announce itself, and others jerk back away from it, repelled at its awesome miserliness. Stealing is sneaking in to a diner and cadging a cup of coffee. Cheap is making sure you get there before the set-up person makes the coffee, and you "help" by starting the coffee pot. Then you pull out a dollar to pay for your cup, and the girl says "It's on the house since you made it." You say "I'm not looking to bum coffee", and she says "I don't mind letting you have a cup, because you're always ready to pay." But you've been offering the same dollar bill to her for a month.

Post something dumb. Watch DD and bt virtue signal. Rinse. Repeat.

No. The Republicans should.

My breakdown of the Spring Game, with video

Caught this at ranch Friday

This person is wrong about Jimbo. I have a good friend that told me his uncles' son was recruited by Jimbo in 2015. He verbally committed and was preparing to set up an announcement for signing day. He drove to FSU on his own dime to speak with Jimbo a week before signing day and visit the campus. I'm told Jimbo wouldn't even talk to him because he had a full schedule that day and that he was to never approach him without talking to his assistant first to make sure it's ok to go to his office. On his way out, he saw some ex Seminoles eating at McDonalds and they ALL warned him about Jimbo. They said he is not the same man that recruited him and that he doesn't care about his players. He drove the very next morning to Clemson and committed to Dabo. He signed with Clemson on NSD. The rest is history.

We just need to keep running second and then bank on a complete implosion by LSU. Ideally, it would be one in which things get extremely ugly, but the LSU administration is forced to keep Ogre anyways due to $$$ issues.

i'm so cheap, i had my fractured fingers x-rayed at my wife's vet clinic and then took a photo of that file and used for my doctors visit because i didnt want to go to pay for an xray. i work at a hospital.

So Trump nominated Ric Grenell to be ambassador to Germany, making him the highest ranking openly gay GOP administration official ever. Grenell was opposed by the dems and his confirmation delayed because has had a habit of making snide tweets about the appearance of certain women, including Rachel Maddow, Calista Gingrich, and HRC. So Trump sends him to be the US's ambassador to Merkel. And then Trump made Pence swear Grenell in while his partner held the Bible. Sometimes you just got to take a step back, put all the other stuff aside in your mind for just a second, and at least chuckle at the total troll job. Everyone gets a little piece, the GOP, the Dems, conservative and liberal personalities, Merkel, and Pence.

on is good at marathons and one has $2M waiting for me if i give them my bank account number?

You can tell him at his next meeting at the Applebee’s Michelob Ultra happy hour.

Torn up grass (mud, as I call it) is still better than plastic. If you don''t agree I just don't know how to argue with you. To me it's like saying "you've literally not said a word about what difference there is between Shiner Bock and warm Buckhorn." I get that it's not as important as whether we win football games or not but it's not trivial. I was really hoping that MRSA scare a few years back was going to kill off plastic grass forever.

This is Surly. You don't even need a reason to get bent out of shape.

Whose sock is 55? Looks like a more retarded version of seven has joined the board.

HEB was surprisingly open and had bone in pork chops on sale. Two were like $5. Did a bourbon honey glaze and some grilled broccoli and a baked potato which i massacred. Oh well. Was good

Why are we complaining about something that hasn't even occurred? Nana has committed to anyone yet. Some of y'all are in perpetual "let's bitch about something" mode.

This is such a dumb take. We have plenty of tape of Giles actually doing a great job coaching from beyond last year as he was a great coach during his first stint here (see Okafor, Acho, Kindle, Orakpo, Crowder, Robison, etc). After he left, the DL was in rough shape for awhile. He comes back and they get back to being a strength of the team. Belittle his recruiting all you want, but he's clearly one of the better coaches at developing talent on Herman's staff.

If his 3 star players (Hager, omenihu, Nelson) have performed like 4-5 star players, Giles is the least of our worries. I want more assistant coaches like Giles. Developing players has been our problem the last 7-8 years.

Johnny Sack may or may not be a racist, but 55 and David are putting things up as "fact" that are just flat out wrong. What? I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but come on...nobody "invented" Rock & Roll. It was born from the fusion of many musical styles, some predominately white and some predominately black...most notably blues and country. As for sports and Alexander Hamilton...I'd love to know which sports you're talking about, and I'm not even sure how you invent a person, so I'll leave that one alone. Pretty sure it was the Navy Seals who killed Osama. Obama is in my Top 10 Presidents list, so while I give him major props for having the balls to order the mission, but don't act like he stormed the compound with an M4...or without one, like Trump would. Me and my 3 semesters of African anthropology classes beg to disagree. Slavery was already a common practice in sub-Saharan by the time the Europeans arrived. They just became another customer. The number of Europeans in the slave trade who ventured more than 10 miles from the sea during the middle passage years was next to zero. The slaves were brought from much farther inland...sometimes hundreds of miles away...by rival tribes and traded for textiles. The white guilt slavery angle always bugs me because while slavery is a barbaric practice, with zero redeemable qualities, it has been practiced by every culture on Earth at some point in history. Just because trans-Atlantic slavery was one of the last ones, doesn't make it any worse, or more historically significant than the ones that existed over the previous 5,000 years. I'm a white, American male, so yes, for this period in history, I hit the genetic jackpot! I have things way easier than black people, women and most people not living in America. I recognize that I had nothing to do with earning any of my white privilege, but I also don't feel guilty about it, nor do I feel that I owe a debt to anyone not white, male or American. Just as I don't get bent out of shape that tall, handsome men tend to get better jobs and hotter chicks than average sized and average looking guys. We all have our cross to bear...it's just some crosses are heavier than others.

My Dad was an Infantry captain stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska when Pearl Harbor went down. He served in the Aleutian Campaign of 1943 to kick the Japanese off that chain of islands, and spent a miserable 7 months living in a tent without taking a bath. He "brought back" a Nambu Type 94 pistol & holster as a souvenir from the Battle of Attu. He literally took it off the body of a dead Japanese officer, while another soldier got the deceased's Samurai sword. He was transferred to Fort Benning in '44 to train with a new infantry regiment and was shipped out to Strasbourg, France a week after I was born in early December - just in time for The Bulge. My birth delayed his departure with the regiment by a week, and by the time he caught up with it in France, 7 of his fellow 13 battalion officers had been killed. Parts of the regiment had been decimated by the Germans, so after narrowly avoiding capture by his kraut cousins, Dad was sent to the rear for reorganization into a new outfit. However, his malaria flared up again and he landed in a hospital for awhile - then subsequently was put in charge of a "90 Day Wonder" officers training program in Paris. Not long before VE Day in Paris he was put in charge of a railroad yard where vast amounts of damaged allied war materiel was brought in for sorting (they left the destroyed German vehicles on the battlefields as a propaganda thing). One morning Dad's sergeant walked in his office and said, "Colonel, a boxcar full of crates of new Lugers & P38s just rolled in. What should we do with them?". Dad said, "Let the troops have them for souvenirs". An hour or so later Dad thought he'd go over a get several of the pistols for himself, but was chagrined to see they were already cleaned out. He came home to Missouri in July of '45 - earlier than most because of 39 months of overseas duty (Alaska was counted in) He still "brought back" two Mauser 98K rifles, a couple of Nazi helmets, and a Belgian made BAR that had been captured by the Germans when they overran the Low Countries early in the War. In the 1950s I & my brothers used the BAR, Mausers, helmets, & other equipment to play Army out in the woods behind our house in St. Louis. Nobody gave us a second look when we toted that lethal-looking hardware around the neighborhood. The FN manufactured BAR (a rare piece worth about $12,000 today) we donated to the Camp Mabry Military Museum a few years ago. It is in storage in their vault. I had one of the Mauser 98k rifles rebuilt into a nice .30-06 hunting piece - it now belongs to one of my sons.

I hate to be a buzz kill, but that's never going to happen. And it's not just "white people", there's not a race, creed, or ethnic group on the planet that doesn't have bias against at least one other race, creed, or ethnic group. I've lived in several countries, and there was always an "other" that was discriminated against on a personal, and or policy level. As much as you, me, or anyone else doesn't want that to be the case, it always will be. So the truth is that Future Man is right. The only way for any minority group to succeed is to band together and do it themselves. That's not racist, it's just a fact of life.
