Black girls.

Backstory cut and paste from another site.... "Back story. This was in the alumni section. An elderly couple left their seats behind this guy and two USC bros showed up and sat in them. USC guys were obnoxiously drunk. When the couple returned to their seats, they told USC bros that they were in their seats and the bros started yelling at them. One of the bros took a swing at the older guy. This guy was in the row in front and he grabbed the guy who threw the fist and told him "I'm going to let you go but just leave" When he let the punk go the guy came at him and the UT guy went off on him like you see in the video. The guy did just about what anyone would do. He didn't start the fight, but he sure ended it."

I want this to be clear. Everyone hates you. You cast slurs without abandon, rehash talking points, try to claim moral superiority while supporting child predators, racists, and alleged rapists. You are a piece of shit and you support pieces of shit because you identify with them as your team, meanwhile they cannot help but laugh at you. You hug a flag while not understanding what it actually means. Your interpretations are all wrong. You are the type of idiot that protests the Declaration of Independence. You have no idea what this country is beyond a place you were lucky enough to be born in. ShaggyTexas.com is a great website that would welcome you.

The hell it wasn't. The right went batshit crazy when Clinton beat Bush. I saw the first "Impeach Clinton" bumper sticker a week after he was elected. That's when Rush Limbaugh really took off. Go to YouTube and search for "The Clinton Chronicles." It was a propaganda hit piece distributed by Jerry Falwell that painted the Clintons as murderers and drug dealers. Hillary was right when she talked about a "vast right-wing conspiracy." The 90's is when it all started and it was the Republicans who started it. They like to say it was the Democrats who started it when they blocked the nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. Robert Fucking Bork, the guy who helped Nixon fire the Special Counsel investigating his crimes. Fuck him and fuck Reagan for nominating him in the first place. Of all the fucking nerve. The blame is 100% on them because they think they're above the law and that it's some kind of cosmic disaster when the other party occupies the White House.

kirksville osteopath was bad to the bone that year.

You look at TCU over there and it’s just all about the tradition of being confused about whether they’re a frog or a lizard?

@6FigsHandler you had one job...

Apparently there's video of Hamm fighting the TexAgs reporter:

Hat Tip to @crash_davis

Brainiacs think Texas gets Sanders.

He lost the Battle of the Bulge.

Not sure what Beto has to do with this. He took responsibility for what he did and still does. Kavanaugh has not and, if you believe the accuser, is lying. One of a number of significant lies he's told, many under oath. I can forgive many long-ago offenses if the person repents. Just like I don't hold W's DUI against him. But Kavanagh has not, and is lying in the present. Completely different circumstances.

Major Harsin again?

Its bama. I'm surprised they didn't @ncaa on it

You've lost another social media platform, Hamm?

\ Here's a 1998 throwback for aggy

believe in something, even if it costs you everything. your wife, your kids, your employment, your company...

He needs to just let the American Airlines thing go. They are not going to comp him a ticket.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/09/american-democracy-is-in-crisis/570394/ It’s been nearly two years since Donald Trump won enough Electoral College votes to become president of the United States. On the day after, in my concession speech, I said, “We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.” I hoped that my fears for our future were overblown. They were not. In the roughly 21 months since he took the oath of office, Trump has sunk far below the already-low bar he set for himself in his ugly campaign. Exhibit A is the unspeakable cruelty that his administration has inflicted on undocumented families arriving at the border, including separating children, some as young as eight months, from their parents. According to The New York Times, the administration continues to detain 12,800 children right now, despite all the outcry and court orders. Then there’s the president’s monstrous neglect of Puerto Rico: After Hurricane Maria ravaged the island, his administration barely responded. Some 3,000 Americans died. Now Trump flatly denies those deaths were caused by the storm. And, of course, despite the recent indictments of several Russian military intelligence officers for hacking the Democratic National Committee in 2016, he continues to dismiss a serious attack on our country by a foreign power as a “hoax.” Trump and his cronies do so many despicable things that it can be hard to keep track. I think that may be the point—to confound us, so it’s harder to keep our eye on the ball. The ball, of course, is protecting American democracy. As citizens, that’s our most important charge. And right now, our democracy is in crisis. I don’t use the word crisis lightly. There are no tanks in the streets. The administration’s malevolence may be constrained on some fronts—for now—by its incompetence. But our democratic institutions and traditions are under siege. We need to do everything we can to fight back. There’s not a moment to lose. As I see it, there are five main fronts of this assault on our democracy. First, there is Donald Trump’s assault on the rule of law. John Adams wrote that the definition of a republic is “a government of laws, and not of men.” That ideal is enshrined in two powerful principles: No one, not even the most powerful leader, is above the law, and all citizens are due equal protection under the law. Those are big ideas, radical when America was formed and still vital today. The Founders knew that a leader who refuses to be subject to the law or who politicizes or obstructs its enforcement is a tyrant, plain and simple. That sounds a lot like Donald Trump. He told The New York Times, “I have an absolute right to do what I want to with the Justice Department.” Back in January, according to that paper, Trump’s lawyers sent Special Counsel Robert Mueller a letter making that same argument: If Trump interferes with an investigation, it’s not obstruction of justice, because he’s the president. The Times also reported that Trump told White House aides that he had expected Attorney General Jeff Sessions to protect him, regardless of the law. According to Jim Comey, the president demanded that the FBI director pledge his loyalty not to the Constitution but to Trump himself. And he has urged the Justice Department to go after his political opponents, violating an American tradition reaching back to Thomas Jefferson. After the bitterly contentious election of 1800, Jefferson could have railed against “Crooked John Adams” and tried to jail his supporters. Instead, Jefferson used his inaugural address to declare: “We are all republicans, we are all federalists.” Second, the legitimacy of our elections is in doubt. There’s Russia’s ongoing interference and Trump’s complete unwillingness to stop it or protect us. There’s voter suppression, as Republicans put onerous—and I believe illegal—requirements in place to stop people from voting. There’s gerrymandering, with partisans—these days, principally Republicans—drawing the lines for voting districts to ensure that their party nearly always wins. All of this carries us further away from the sacred principle of “one person, one vote.” Third, the president is waging war on truth and reason. Earlier this month, Trump made 125 false or misleading statements in 120 minutes, according to The Washington Post—a personal record for him (at least since becoming president). To date, according to the paper’s fact-checkers, Trump has made 5,000 false or misleading claims while in office and recently has averaged 32 a day. Trump is also going after journalists with even greater fervor and intent than before. No one likes to be torn apart in the press—I certainly don’t—but when you’re a public official, it comes with the job. You get criticized a lot. You learn to take it. You push back and make your case, but you don’t fight back by abusing your power or denigrating the entire enterprise of a free press. Trump doesn’t hide his intent one bit. Lesley Stahl, the 60 Minutes reporter, asked Trump during his campaign why he’s always attacking the press. He said, “I do it to discredit you all and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.” When we can’t trust what we hear from our leaders, experts, and news sources, we lose our ability to hold people to account, solve problems, comprehend threats, judge progress, and communicate effectively with one another—all of which are crucial to a functioning democracy. Fourth, there’s Trump’s breathtaking corruption. Considering that this administration promised to “drain the swamp,” it’s amazing how blithely the president and his Cabinet have piled up conflicts of interest, abuses of power, and blatant violations of ethics rules. Trump is the first president in 40 years to refuse to release his tax returns. He has refused to put his assets in a blind trust or divest himself of his properties and businesses, as previous presidents did. This has created unprecedented conflicts of interest, as industry lobbyists, foreign governments, and Republican organizations do business with Trump’s companies or hold lucrative events at his hotels, golf courses, and other properties. They are putting money directly into his pocket. He’s profiting off the business of the presidency. Trump makes no pretense of prioritizing the public good above his own personal or political interests. He doesn’t seem to understand that public servants are supposed to serve the public, not the other way around. The Founders believed that for a republic to succeed, wise laws, robust institutions, and a brilliant Constitution would not be enough. Civic, republican virtue was the secret sauce that would make the whole system work. Donald Trump may well be the least lowercase-R republican president we’ve ever had. Fifth, Trump undermines the national unity that makes democracy possible. Democracies are rowdy by nature. We debate freely and disagree forcefully. It’s part of what distinguishes us from authoritarian societies, where dissent is forbidden. But we’re held together by deep “bonds of affection,” as Abraham Lincoln said, and by the shared belief that out of our fractious melting pot comes a unified whole that’s stronger than the sum of our parts. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Trump doesn’t even try to pretend he’s a president for all Americans. It’s hard to ignore the racial subtext of virtually everything Trump says. Often, it’s not even subtext. When he says that Haitian and African immigrants are from “shithole countries,” that’s impossible to misunderstand. Same when he says that an American judge can’t be trusted because of his Mexican heritage. None of this is a mark of authenticity or a refreshing break from political correctness. Hate speech isn’t “telling it like it is.” It’s just hate.

How does this wife/gf/daughter thing work? Do you have one of each, or are you from Arkansas and they’re all the same person?

They should do a '99 throwback and have a stack of falling logs patch.

Sicko.

No kidding. At most jobs, a massive fuckup warrants you getting fired. Killing a guy because of an absurd mixup — the most charitable view of what she has actually admitted to — warrants removing the public's trust in her to hold a badge and gun. How is that even debatable? With all of the minor shit that Cruz and his cronies think warrants firing, like kneeling for the pledge or a DOJ investigator sending private texts of a political nature — a cop actually barging into the wrong apartment and killing the resident needs extensive consideration?

And those witnesses may be a little hesitant to speak to cops, seeing as a cop that lives in their building just shot and killed their neighbor. I wouldn't exactly want to go snitching when the cop is out walking free... might end up as the next victim.

Oh, and Rush you dumb motherfucker -- we tried to warn you!

We won a game Saturday. If we win one next Saturday, that's two in a row. If we win one the Saturday after that, that's called a winning streak.

Holy shit he got fired again

Congrats on a well-earned ass kicking. Our shit-for-brains coaching staff had the team bend over and y’all went in dry. No fucking excuses, this team was not prepared, practices were soft, and the coaching staff had no business coaching above 2A high school ball. I stopped watching after the 1st series of the second half. No sense in completely ruining a weekend watching that abortion. I’ll find other ways to pass my fall Saturday’s that won’t cause a stroke. Unless the admins make wholesale changes and prove winning is a priority, I’m out. Good luck the rest of the year, beat those inbred-sister-humping-toothless land thieves!

Found this on a USC message board after the game this morning. So glad to see what another blue blood thinks about our program/atmosphere: Lots and lots of takes on the game, "the safety call", RB rotation, etc. Thought some might find my first experience in Austin interesting.I am a Widower as my wife of 20 years passed away a few years back at 44 years of age from Lung Cancer having never smoked a day in her life. That experience and raising my two kids solo these last few years, has really given me some perspective on what is important and not so important at least as far as my life is concerned. It also makes the concept of building memories very valuable to me, so when my 18 year old son approached me last week and suggested a memorable trip for his Senior Year in High School would be an Texas trip, I was all about it. We quickly convinced a USC classmate to join us and made plans for a long weekend road trip. We left Friday around noon and made it to Marathon around 2:00AM Saturday morning. We got a decent sleep and headed to Austin the next morning arriving around 1:00. We parked on the outskirts of campus by the polo fields and headed down to the Kerbey Labe and then over towards the stadium for the afternoon before the game started. Several things were noteworthy.1) There is a place I believe was called the "Alumni Center.” It was in the Texas Exes center and had 4 or 5 large TVs and lots of sofas/chairs/floor space and there must have been 100-200 folks in Orange and White watching the TTU-Houston game and avoiding the mid-day heat outside. It was a great setup and the perfect way for us to watch the "other" important game that day. Lots of nice folks in there - even one gentleman and his wife who offered us their seats. We declined, but the sentiment was indicative of the treatment we would get the rest of the day. These folks are serious about being respectful and classy.2) Bevo Blvd before the game. Right before game time, we lined the streets around the stadium to watch the parade of the Longhorn Band make their way to DKR. It was astounding how many there were! After the band marched through to lead the processional, the waves of band members kept coming and coming and coming! It finally ended when the large bass drum Big Bertha made its way down the street on the way to the stadium.3) The stadium was very impressive! We were in the upper deck of the End Zone where Same scored his touchdown across from where our band was located. If I did not know the capacity, I would have guessed it was even larger than 105,000. I guess it was the way it completely surrounded the field that made it look so much larger than I envisioned beforehand. With all of the stadium lights flashing, energized fans, the towels waving frantically, and no place for the noise to escape, it is easy to see how the players could get easily get distracted and intimidated. No doubt about it - it was rocking Saturday night! Even up by 11 points at one time, you could feel the crowds energy and knew the game wasn't out of reach. That thought obviously turned out to be prophetic.4) Band - I'm not much of a band guy, but the size and precision of the band was something to see. From the upper deck where you could see the formations unfolding as the members marched in all sorts of directions, I thought for certain there would be collisions or errors in all of the coordinated movements. It was flawless with straight lines and changing shapes that must take incredible effort to organize and pull off. It was a great show and worth staying in my seat at halftime to witness it.5) The Eyes of a Texas - I think that is what it was called at the start of the 4th quarter had the whole stadium energized and engaged. If you are a Texas person, I could see how that would put a lump in your throat each time that song was played. Even as a visitor it was easy to get into it.6 - The Smoke ring from the Smokey - Someone posted a picture of that earlier today. After one of the scores and firing the round, that smoke ring floating across the field was pretty cool.7 Finally and most important the Texas People.... There was an announcement before the game reminding the Texas fans about class and respect for your opponent. I was blown away at how universal this sentiment was taken to heart by everyone we encountered all day - I mean EVERYONE. We sat in the middle of an Texas section. We had been elbow to elbow with folks decked out in Burnt Orange all day. Even making our way down the crowded walkways from the upper deck after a tightly contested game with controversial calls that frustrated the home team, I did not hear a single derogatory word. Not one - literally all day. Closest we even came was a car that drove by us walking to the stadium and the students yelled something like "Hook Em Horns!” or something like that. I was stunned to be honest. Much more often we heard "Welcome to Austin” or "Hope you have a safe drive home" and never a murmur of anything condescending or hostile. We all love college football and want our team to win. We all get fired up and heated up when things don't go our way. These folks get it though. Maybe it is just my personal history with tragedy these last few years, but these Texas folks see things the right way with the right perspective. They fought hard and that stadium was as raucous as you can imagine, but when the game was over we had nothing but pats on the backs, handshakes and well wishes. I just had to write this post to tip my cap Texas fans, students and Alumni. You may have come up a few points ahead on the scoreboard Saturday night, but you also won me over. What a classy, classy bunch that I have nothing but respect and admiration for based on the experience we had last Saturday. I hope it won't be my last trip to Texas, and for those of you that make the trip over next year, I hope you experience the same level of Southern hospitality, respect and sportsmanship we received in spades Saturday evening. My son, my buddy and I had an absolute ball!Best of luck the rest of the way Texas friends. This is one guy from California who will be rooting for you along the way.Blessings.Chip

Watching a dude like him death spiral right before our eyes is not only fun, it's cool.

God I hate those arrogant motherfuckers at Mesabi Range College.

If you want good to great journalism, you are gonna have to pay for it. I work in the industry -- have for 17 years. Every single one of those years, ad revenue has declined. Newspapers and magazines are withering away. Internet-only model has yet to make much money. Thousands of journalists and copy editors are out of work, and copy editor are important, because they caught the typos we often make when under the gun, and when typos slip in, idiots will cite them as proof the story was written by a moron and thus fake news. Sadly, sending a reporter out to some shithole in Arizona to investigate a mining travesty is not free. There is no magic money tree we can just pluck the green from to dispatch somebody out there for a week or two or more. Sadly, city hall, state capital, county politics and court reporters aren't willing to work pro bono 40 hours a week. They have needs, like things to eat and places to sleep. More and more, we are forced by these realities to give the public what they want -- trash. Socialite garbage. Sex scandals with no bearing on any of us by the parties involved. Celebrity shite. And those of you who bitch the most about "the media" are very often the same ones who cut and paste articles from behind paywalls. Those paywalls are there for a reason, and that reason is that journalists need food and shelter. tl;dr Fuck you, pay me.

Because we hire dumb fucks like Shawn Watson and Tim Beck

What is this? A statement for ants?

I don't care how much they want to, the SEC doesn't get to throw them back.

What investigation is needed? If you can’t handle the complexity of multiple floors at your own apartment complex, you don’t deserve a badge and gun. It’s a pretty easy qualifier.
