NSIAP from Mollie Tibbett’s father https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/2018/09/01/mollie-tibbetts-father-common-decency-immigration-heartless-despicable-donald-trump-jr-column/1163131002/?ncid=APPLENEWS00001 Ten days ago, we learned that Mollie would not be coming home. Shattered, my family set out to celebrate Mollie’s extraordinary life and chose to share our sorrow in private. At the outset, politicians and pundits used Mollie’s death to promote various political agendas. We appealed to them and they graciously stopped. For that, we are grateful. Sadly, others have ignored our request. They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollie’s tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed. I encourage the debate on immigration; there is great merit in its reasonable outcome. But do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist. The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family and is, to quote Donald Trump Jr., “heartless" and "despicable.” Make no mistake, Mollie was my daughter and my best friend. At her eulogy, I said Mollie was nobody’s victim. Nor is she a pawn in others’ debate. She may not be able to speak for herself, but I can and will. Please leave us out of your debate. Allow us to grieve in privacy and with dignity. At long last, show some decency. On behalf of my family and Mollie’s memory, I’m imploring you to stop. Throughout this ordeal I’ve asked myself, “What would Mollie do?” As I write this, I am watching Sen. John McCain lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda and know that evil will succeed only if good people do nothing. Both Mollie and Senator McCain were good people. I know that both would stand up now and do something. The person who is accused of taking Mollie’s life is no more a reflection of the Hispanic community as white supremacists are of all white people. To suggest otherwise is a lie. Justice in my America is blind. This person will receive a fair trial, as it should be. If convicted, he will face the consequences society has set. Beyond that, he deserves no more attention. To the Hispanic community, my family stands with you and offers its heartfelt apology. That you’ve been beset by the circumstances of Mollie’s death is wrong. We treasure the contribution you bring to the American tapestry in all its color and melody. And yes, we love your food. My stepdaughter, whom Mollie loved so dearly, is Latina. Her sons — Mollie’s cherished nephews and my grandchildren — are Latino. That means I am Hispanic. I am African. I am Asian. I am European. My blood runs from every corner of the Earth because I am American. As an American, I have one tenet: to respect every citizen of the world and actively engage in the ongoing pursuit to form a more perfect union. Given that, to knowingly foment discord among races is a disgrace to our flag. It incites fear in innocent communities and lends legitimacy to the darkest, most hate-filled corners of the American soul. It is the opposite of leadership. It is the opposite of humanity. It is heartless. It is despicable. It is shameful. We have the opportunity now to take heed of the lessons that Mollie, John McCain and Aretha Franklin taught — humanity, fairness and courage. For most of the summer, the search for Mollie brought this nation together like no other pursuit. There was a common national will that did transcend opinion, race, gender and geography. Let’s not lose sight of that miracle. Let’s not lose sight of Mollie. Instead, let’s turn against racism in all its ugly manifestations both subtle and overt. Let’s turn toward each other with all the compassion we gave Mollie. Let’s listen, not shout. Let’s build bridges, not walls. Let’s celebrate our diversity rather than argue over our differences. I can tell you, when you’ve lost your best friend, differences are petty and meaningless. My family remains eternally grateful to all those who adopted Mollie so completely and showered us with so much care, compassion and generosity. Please accept our desire to remain private as we share our loss. We love Mollie with all our hearts and miss her terribly. We need time.

Two guys walk into a strip club. One of them beats his wife, the other can’t beat anyone.

Conservatism has proven to be a pretext for pure self-interest. By and large, conservatives push their principles not because they believe in them as a matter of principle, but because they are outcome-determinative in a way that benefits them. And the second it isn't, conservatives seek government intervention to help them. There are some people who really believe in conservative principles, but for most, it's more than just a happy accident that conservative policy helps them personally at the expense of most other Americans.

Lost in all the latest posts is that statement from Mollie Tibbets father. She must have been an amazing young woman to have been raised by that man. And the world is worse off for with her loss. After the worst possible thing that could befall a parent - not just her death but her disappearance and her having been brutally assaulted and murdered - he is able to make such a statement full of dignity and grace is unreal to me. I’d still be in a medicated, screaming puddle. Bless him for standing up for what his daughter would have wanted and not succumbing to anger and hatred. I honestly don’t know if I could be that strong in his position.

In the second qtr down 24-7. We went hurry up. Ran the ball well quick passes moves down the field like butter they had no answer players where wide open it was simple. WHY IN GODS fuck did we stop doing that? Because it worked? Because it aligned to our strengths? Because it gave us a chance to win? This staff is dumber than Zack smiths future wife. Just fucking retarded lazy ass dipshits. Let’s gather up all the shit that worked and burn it. Fuck this staff

In short, Iconoclast has always been his biggest fan. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Two things: one, don't tell nobody about this. This shit is between me, you, and Mr. soon-to-be-coaching-the-rest-of-his-short-ass-career-in-New Mexico coordinator here. It ain't noboby else's business. Two, you leave town tonight, right now, and when you gone, you stay gone or you be gone. You lost all your Austin privileges. Deal?

1. immamac did not delete the threads, I did 2. I did because they were all about you derka, and threads about you do not belong in the football board. if you want to discuss derka you are free to do so in the board discussion forum but not the football forum 3. 52-80 was banned for a day, the normal banning for a first offense. 4. derka you are a petulant child that really needs to realize this is a message board to discuss UT football and not the fucking Supreme Court. Nothing here really fucking matters. The sooner you realize that the better off you will be. Getting a couple of your threads deleted is not the fucking end of the world. This place is people sitting around talking about UT football and not something that's going to end world hunger or bring peace to the middle east. Fucking learn to walk away.

Let me see if I have this straight. In conservative logic, internet service itself is not a public utility, but private tech companies that operate on the internet are?

There are two problems with this view: 1) We live in a world where any praise of character, public decency and integrity is taken as implicit criticism of the president, because the supporters of the president acknowledge that the president is a low integrity, indecent character. Thus, it's not that the eulogy itself was politicized, it's that the reception is. And it probably should be, under the circumstances. 2) Drawing a contrast between the good things a person fought for in vain and the current, sad state of affairs is not a "snide remark". The offense you and others take measures the value of what you gave up when you decided that character didn't count as much as the conjectured decisions of hypothetical future judges. Tell me more about decorum, that's rich.

After he gives his next smug response at a press conference, someone needs to stand up and look that asshole in the eye and ask that cocksucker, "do you really think your record at Texas warrants your arrogant, condescending nature?"

Listen guys. After 8 months to prepare, you just don’t go to a neutral field with a crowd that is 66% your fans against a team that was sub-.500 last year and has an interim coach because they’re head coach created a toxic environment that resulted in a dead player, and expect to win.

Would have given just about anything for one of the reporters to say “yeah you just got out-coached by a team without a coach so maybe check the attitude at the door there chief”

I think the original poster is spot on with every point. I remember flat out just hoping the black dude would work out because I didn’t want to deal with the bullshit from the media and rivals if he didn’t. The other points are also excellent. It was a far more complicated thing than this Herman bullshit. I am LOL at anyone defending anything about Herman at this point. Matt Canada coached his first game yesterday. He was at field level for the first time in over a decade. He was coaching through a program scandal. He called all of the plays on offense. He presented a better prepared team and he won. Meanwhile dumbfuck Tom Hermeh proved himself in over his head again when facing a superior football mind. This rube should be wearing bike shorts and tube socks while berating 12 year olds in 7th grade and getting paid to teach social studies. I was dead fucking right (as were plenty of others, albeit less than totality of everyone claiming this stuff retroactively) from the jump that he made bush league hires in Tim Beck, Warehime, and Mehbro. He looked like he was repeating the same not-ready-for-prime-time mistakes that Chuckles made immediately in front of him but ooooooohhhhhhh no - Tom Hermeh knew better. Well, Tom Hermeh can go fuck himself. I’m crossing my fingers something horrific is revealed in the Ohio State scandal that forces Texas to fire him for cause.

Wake me up when Mensa fucks up a coin flip. I see progress.

Because he has fielded two NC caliber teams and both times he got fucked out of the opportunity to play for one because his team was in purple.

I hate to admit this but I will be voting in my first midterms this November. I have turned out for all Presidential elections since 1996 but never had the desire to vote in the midterms. Honestly the republican grip on state politics made me believe my vote wouldnt matter in the slightest....and the reality is I was right. I dont care if it matters now. I am going to go out and vote anyway. I moved recently and in the past I wouldnt do the work beforehand to change my voter reg card. Everything has been mailed in with time to spare.

Cool stat. Ingram averaged 6.2 yards per carry, 2 ypc more than any of our other backs. His last carry came with 5:20 to go in the 2nd quarter. Holy shit Mensabeck. This is a Tim Beck special - going away from the hot hand . He did it all the time at tOSU. Zeke Elliott even called him out on it publicly. But it looks like Herm thinks this is swell as well.

State ownership of private enterprise to own the socialist libtards

CDC: You're talking about what. You're talking about... Bitching about that second half lead you lost,some sonofabitch who don't don’t like your grill, some broad you're trying to screw, so forth. Let's talk about something important. They all here? Fenves: All but one. CDC: I'm going anyway. Let's talk about something important. Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee's for coaches only. You think I'm fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. I'm here from downtown. I'm here from Red and Mack. And I'm here on a mission of mercy. Your name's Herman? You call yourself a coach, you son of a bitch? Oscar Giles: I don't gotta sit here and listen to this shit. CDC: You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's game. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got recruits. Red paid good money, get their names to sign them; you can't close the recruits you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT! Beck: The players are weak. CDC: The players are weak? Fucking players are weak. You're weak! I've been in this business 15 years... Mensa: What's your name? CDC: Fuck you! That's my name! You know why, mister? You drove a Hyundai to get here. I drove an eighty-thousand dollar BMW. THAT'S my name. And your name is you're wanting. You can't play in the man's game, you can't coach them - go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life: Get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me, you fucking faggots? A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Coaching. Always be coaching. ALWAYS BE COACHING. A-I-D-A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention - Do I have your attention? Interest - Are you interested? I know you are, 'cause it's fuck or walk. You coach or you hit the bricks. Decision - Have you made your decision for Christ? And Action. A-I-D-A. Get out there - you got the prospects coming in. You think they came in to get out of the rain? A guy don't walk on the lot lest he wants to play. They're sitting out there waiting to give you their commitment . Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? What's the problem, pal? You - Mensa. Mensa: You're such a hero, you're so rich, how come you're coming down here wasting your time with such a bunch of bums? CDC: You see this suit? You see this suit? Mensa: Yeah. CDC: That suit costs more than your car. I fired 2 coaches last year. How many did you fire? You see, pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - coach! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get in a game? You don't like it, leave. I can go out there tonight with the materials you've got and beat a middling B1G team. Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can YOU? Go and do likewise. A-I-D-A. Get mad you son of a bitches, get mad. You want to know what it takes to win football games? It takes BRASS BALLS to win football games. Go and do likewise, gents. Money's out there. You pick it up, it's yours. You don't, I got no sympathy for you. You wanna go out in that game tonight and coach, COACH. It's yours. If not, you're gonna be shining my shoes. And you know what you'll be saying - a bunch of losers sittin' around in a bar. 'Oh yeah. I used to be a coach. It's a tough racket.' These are the new recruits. These are the 5 star recruits. And to you they're gold, and you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They're for coaches. I'd wish you good luck but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it. And to answer your question, pal, why am I here? I came here because Red and Mack asked me to. They asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your fucking ass, because a loser is a loser.

“I don’t need to tell you this, but we’re both paid to win football games.”

Herman Edwards Pee Wee Herman Herman Cain

Yes. Among all of the post-Maryland trauma, the notion that we should’ve hired Jeff Fucking Traylor as the head coach of the University of Texas is the dumbest thing I’ve read today.

I hope the train you’re on crashes

I'm in exactly the same place I was before the season. Stop telling me how good the team is. Show me.

Football coaches are professionals. It is legitimate for us to hold them accountable for their performance. Tom failed to have the team ready to play yesterday. Many people questioned his hiring of Tim Beck when it was first announced. I’m not seeing any development as a professional from Tim Beck. I’m not seeing much from Tom Herman when it comes to making adjustments to deal with glaring problems within the program. And it is absurd to claim Hermsn is being hindered by lack of resources, be those resources talent, time or money. We were told Herman needed Beck in order to win. We were told to hold our noses over the hiring of Horny because Herman needed him to win. We were told to hold our noses over the recruitment of Leitao because Herman needed him to win. If a professor showed up unprepared for class or without any plan for the semester, we would rightfully complain that the students weren’t being well served. Outside of academia, we wouldn’t tolerate an attorney, doctor, pilot, or any other professional showing up unprepared and without a plan of how to accomplish their assigned task. We sure wouldn’t tolerate them being an asshole when asked to account for their repeated failures. Herman has been getting a pass for a lot of failures and questionable decisions. Things need to turn around very soon. He is pretty much out of free passes.

Everything about our offense seems extremely slow developing or overly complicated. Stevie Wonder can see our toss reverses coming.

you got married?

Sam sucks. And if the mods delete this thread, we are starting a new board without you Westlake pussies.

This is a thread for ideas about what to do at QB. I think we've had enough time and enough end of close game fuck ups to know that Ehlinger isn't going to be a successful QB at this level. So the question now that we took an L from a mediocre 5 to 7 win power 5 team is what should they do at QB going forward? Play Sam and keep trying to hope he won't keep fucking up close games? Play Shane who seems to be a poor fit for the offense and is fragile? Or say fuck it, we have no title chance to play for now anymore so get Rising in there and let him grow and see what he can do to set us up for next year? Either way Herman is at least getting one more year like Strong did before Del Conte is able to go get his own coach. I think I'm leaning try Shane and work in Rising too.

I don't know what to think.....other than it's time for TH and the entire program to start playing like their hair is on fire. You have to coach like there's nothing to lose, Herman.....start coaching like that. Or you will be gone. This is like playing golf and all you see is the OB, water, rough and sand. You never see the green or the fairway. Guess what? That fucking ball is not heading where you want and your scorecard will have a ton of crooked numbers on it. We are several touchdowns better than the terps if the team plays like it has nothing to lose. Poor coaching.

Oh, shut the fuck up. Ya know what? The South lost the Civil War, but I bet there’s a 100% chance you bitched about Confederate statues being taken down, even though they got their asses handed to them. “Hey man, you can’t erase our history.” Yet you don’t want us to celebrate the life of a great American for more than a day because it‘s hurtful to the man whose feet you worship and suck off every day.

When will “Never hire a OC from Nebraska” become a hard fact similar to never fight a land war vs Russia in Winter??

What a stupid comment. Tulsa has beaten their FCS opponents.

Nah, back in for another year a least. See ya!

I’m glad Finger wrote that. In a major newspaper no less. Herman is such a smug dickhead. Being a smug dickhead who thinks he knows everything works when you’re Saban and you actually do know everything. But when you don’t you’re just a dickhead. Glad the media is sick of his condescending tone. I’ll never forget his Joe Fan bullshit when the Beck hire was announced.

Tom Herman needs to learn cloud seeding.

6:56 pm she decided to show up! Mom and baby are doing great and resting.

Sam Ehlinger is a classic football moron. It is no wonder Tim Beck and Herman love him. They’re all losers.

good night sweet prince
