TexAgs excuse gold. Pre Sugar Bowl: TexAgs excuse gold. Post Sugar Bowl:

Yes, I think that you hoped that the shooter was a white dude and yes, that’s what lead to the creation of this thread. You deliberately mentioned the race of the suspect and victim(s) in your first two (2) posts. I’m sure that others here may feel the same but don’t want to be perceived as insensitive. I don’t have that problem. I’m secure in the fact that I’m not a racist nor am I claiming that you are projecting false empathy with the victims. I’ve posted on Hornfans, Shaggy and now Surly with you so I’m willing to make a wager. Cite three (3) examples of threads, or sub-threads, you’ve started that meet the following criteria: 1. The criminal/aggressor/suspect/harasser was black; 2. A white person was not involved, or suspected to be involved, in the situation. If you can provide this, I will make a $250 donation to the charity of your choosing. If at least one (1) of these examples has a victim that is/was white, I will double my donation amount. Should you fail to live up to these terms, despite almost twenty (20) years of data at your disposal, you will admit that the person that created the “white people are evil” thread on Surly may be exploiting tragic/shameful events involving black/white relations as a flaming arrow to race bait. Let me know if we have a deal.

Where did she say she doesn't want them for federal judges? Or that they are racist or homophobic or bigots? She asked a number of questions regarding how, as a judge, he would approach issues where the Knights of Columbus have expressed a position, particularly in regards to same-sex marriage and reproductive rights, two issues where the Knights of Columbus have taken positions that are contrary to the law. Which of her questions exactly do you find unreasonable?

"Georgia wasn't motivated" "It wasn't the CFP so it didn't matter" or some variation of this pathetic self-deception. It's comprehensively wrong, should be comprehensively refuted and deserves its own thread. UGa's defense started the game FLYING all over the field. Tom Herman saw that coming and EMBARRASSED them with misdirection. The details are here. The bottom line is that Georgia was very motivated, came out aggressive and ran themselves out of the play repeatedly. They over-pursued and pass rushed too hard. Mensa made them pay the price for being so motivated. Georgia's actions were NOT what teams do when they come out flat. Like a matador, Tom Herman goaded them, watched them run past and then stuck a sword in their ass. Orlando did the same thing to them by hitting the Bulldogs repeatedly from unexpected angles. Herman bled them repeatedly - of confidence, of pride and finally of aggressiveness. By halftime, Georgia's players were confused, abused and humiliated. By that point they had lost their motivation but they didn't start out that way. It was what Texas did to them the MADE them that way. Thank you for letting me set the record straight.

Parkey is going to doink the goalpost again.

good list of wins, this was the best loss tho

ESPN is reporting that Dak Prescott has asked to be moved to second string because he knows teammate Mike White would have "kicked Seattle's ass". He feels he can no longer continue "this charade" as a starter knowing White is poised to take the team "to the Super Bowl and beyond."

Sorry, but I’ve been hearing for at least a year now that X, or Y, or Z will be the final straw, and the Republican leadership and Trump’s ardent followers will finally turn on him when any of those things happen. Well, X, and Y, and Z, have all happened, plus a whole bunch of other things that are way worse, and neither the R leadership (or really any Republicans of any significance whatsoever) nor his following have turned on him. This won’t do it either. Anyone who supports Trump and the Republicans, or identifies as a Republican at this juncture, can’t be saved or counted on to ever “do the right thing” or “come around.” Ever.

We may have lost the battle but as long as Helton is at USC we will win the war. Adimora, Floyd, the two Arizona kids, etc. I'll gladly trade McCoy for another year of low resistance west coast poaching.

The House should pass a bill authorizing a wall built to theses specifications:

First, you make a roux.

Wow this is dumb as fuck

Hat tip to @Fud for finding this. Quotes from Tom Herman at today's AFCA convention. https://twitter.com/zach_barnett/status/1082037775585759232 Herman: “I think [Early Signing Day is] very strenuous on the high school coaches. With kids making official visits in the spring, making decisions before their senior year, how much are you going to get out of that young man?” Herman says it’s “mind-boggling” year coaches can’t go out in the spring. “We may have a young man take an official visit in May and that’s the first time I’ve ever met him.” Herman: “In our program, there’s never been a scholarship awarded based on a camp performance. Scholarships are awarded playing football on Friday nights with your 10 teammates.” Herman: “I’m a firm believer that it’s not the ones you don’t sign that beat you, it’s the ones you do sign that you mis-evaluate that you’ve got for four or five years.” Herman says Georgia is the only state he’s seen that rivals Texas in terms of commitment to high school football in terms of staff sizes, 7-on-7, etc. Herman says tight end and offensive line are the hardest positions to find college-ready players out of HS football. “It’s not your job to be a farm system for college football. It’s your job to win games and mentor young men.” The topic of 7-on-7 travel teams come up, and Herman says, “The silver lining is 7-on-7 is not football and will never be football....Football is not played with a pretty little towel hanging down and a pacifier mouth piece.” Herman: “I can tell you this: if he’s a skill guy, I better see track numbers. If they’re a big guy, I want to see them throw the shot, throw the disc... Who knows who’s timing them at these Nike SPARQ deals.”

Lol. Just so we are clear ole barton is claiming theres just not enough senior video out there of the guy who was named gatorade player of the year. JLawOK.gif

Yeah, let's not lose sight of how remarkable it is that she actually appears to be a decent human being who wants to help normal people. We need many more of those, not fewer. Hell, the Republican party doesn't even have one, with the possible exception of Will Hurd. Think about the people who run for office as Republicans these days. They're complete fucking ghouls out to help the one billionaire backing them who likely decided to run for office for the pain the power they could wield would allow them to inflict on minorities. Most Dems aren't as monstrous, but they too are almost entirely focused on helping their rich donors. The difference between them and the GOP is the lack of animus toward the poor and the desire to throw the poor some scraps that don't actually provide any meaningful help. AOC is already a huge step up on those two types, who probably make up 95% of the House and 99% of the Senate. Saying she needs to be an Economic Brain Genius capable of presenting complex economic policy proposals via twitter or she's no different than Donald Trump is completely fucking asinine. We should be encouraging more like her to run for office, not telling them they're not good enough.

So what do you really think? I don't think she's the savior. I don't think anyone her age is the savior. I am quite excited that people like her are actually getting elected. Your impractical criticism does (and should) fall on deaf ears -- we need dozens more AOC not fewer, because good intentions coupled with youthful naivete beat the living shit out of bad intentions coupled with a detailed knowledge of how shit works. Yeesh. Seriously, I fucking worry about people who post shit like you just did. That's just flat out ridiculous.

No matter how motivated they were; they were losing this game. Fuck their excuses, Texas came to play.

I thought this thread was going to be about SEC scheduling...

Got caught in traffic so I figured I'd kill time by playing trivia with the wife. A tweet had the top 10 most viewed basic cable networks of 2018 so I asked her to guess the top 3. Her guesses? Fox 4, CBS 11, and ABC 8. Me: "Basic cable, not the public channels." Wife: "Those ARE basic cable channels." Me: "No those are public channels. Basic cable channels would be like ESPN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc." Wife: "Growing up we had basic cable and had those channels!" Me: "Yes but you had others only available to cable customers. You can't pick up ESPN on rabbit ears. That's what we had to use to pick up channels growing up" Wife: "You hunted rabbits just so you could watch TV?" Jesus. Christ.

"Impeach the Motherfucker" should be something revered and put on a Flag - like "Dont Tred On Me" or "Come and Take It" .

They both acted and both passed the bill that Trump said he would sign. Then his tiny toddler feelings were hurt when talking right wing media idiots said bad things about him, so as usual he broke his word - opposing the bill that he previously told the Turtle he would sign. We are in a shutdown because our Toddler-In-Chief would rather shut down the country and harm hundreds of thousands of Citizens than have Rush and Coulter hurt his widdle feelings on the radio machine. MAGA

Or, cut utter pieces of shit out of your life. We’ve had to do so with a couple of folks, and it’s helped everyone’s peace of mind. It’s okay to refuse to interact with shitty people. In fact, it’s the smart move.

Yet they do not. They defend the wall although it is not needed, the crisis is fabricated, it is founded in racism and vanity, it is linked to concentration camps and children in cages and unnecessary deaths on the southern border. They defend Trump's claims of no collusion even though evidence of collusion includes the president himself asking for the assistance of the Russians, embracing Russian law-breaking to support his own campaign, defenses of the Russians, giving national secrets to the Russians, obsequious service to Vladimir Putin, and obstruction of justice on behalf of the Russians. They defend him in the face of his embrace of white supremacists and of his serial abuse of women. They defend him the face of his campaign finance crimes and his proven efforts to defraud the American voter. They defend him as seeks to profit illegally from the presidency. They defend him as his foundation is shutdown for abuses. They defend him as he defends murderers and despots overseas and alienates our most important allies. They defend him as he lies 10 times a day. They defend him as his cabinet and appointees are revealed to be profoundly corrupt. They defend him as he despoils the environment. They defend him as he dismantles the international order that has been the foundation of American security for three-quarters of a century. They defend him although his tax cuts helped only the rich, hurt the majority and did not help the U.S. economy. They defend him as he daily proves his unfitness for office. They defend him as he promotes unheard of nepotism in the U.S. government. They defend him as he attacks the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Intelligence Community, distinguished generals, heroes, families who have lost their children to sacrifice for the nation.They defend him as he daily reveals himself to be the most corrupt president in history. They defend him as he daily reveals himself to be the worst of us. And we must wonder, at what point should such defenses require questioning by those who give a platform to these talking heads and enabling columnists and toadying pols. At what point do producers and editors have to ask, "Has this person lost any shred of credibility they may once have had? Can anyone who defends the indefensible for so long be seen as anything but complicit in the crimes they are defending." There is no journalistic principle that requires that liars be defended because the truth is the only victim, no ethical guideline that says that racists or criminals have advocates because that only compounds the wrongs that already have taken place. You know their names. You see them daily. You hear their lame defenses of this most indefensible American and the gang of thugs around him and his sponsors among our enemies and corrupted leaders overseas. And you must recognize that only when audiences turn away from them, only when audiences protest their appearances, only when audiences demand advertisers no longer support them, only when audiences demand the truth and a modicum of decency, will they be silence. They do not "deserve" our attention. They are not practicing politics as usual. Their views have been so deeply discredited they no longer have credibility or merit. There is no form of fairness that requires they be allowed to speak. Indeed, quite the contrary, they have abused the privilege of having our attention. As the dark truths about this dangerous president and those who enable him are further revealed and justice is done, part of that justice will be consigning these unprincipled tools of Trump and Putin and their ilk to the ignominy and obscurity they have earned. They have helped bring us to where we are. If we are to return to the kind of country we can be (and once were) their role must be understood and they must be cast aside. There would have been no Trump Administration without them. These crimes are theirs. These wrongs, this corruption of our society, are theirs as well as Trump's. Mark them as you would mark him. They are not voices in our public discourse. They are its enemies.

Remember all the dickheads crying that Obama was going to declare martial law with Jade Helm? Yeah, they won't say shit when this fake national emergency is declared.

“If I determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless: if it is formless, then even the deepest spy cannot discern it nor the wise make plans against it.” ― Sun Tzu, 5th Century BC Just as Texas’ first offensive series disoriented Georgia’s defense, so the Horns’ first defensive series set the tone by confusing the offense’s reads. Georgia had no tape on the heavy fronts since they really weren’t used during the season. In addition, the slanting, stunts, blitzes, bluffs and zone drops left Fromm unsure whether to shit or go blind. In many cases he just went ahead and did both. On the first play, UGa comes out in 11 personnel but flexes out the TE for a 4 wide, single back look. Texas is in a 4-2 nickel with both ends standing up. Brandon Jones is the overhang man defending the slot. Texas 6 in the box vs 5 OL. Jones comes down as a run supporter to the C gap which allows the DL to slant to the right, straight into the inside zone run. No gain. If Fromm knew he had 7 in the box he should check to a pass play but he can’t know if the pre-snap move is a bluff. 2nd play is a checkdown behind the LOS. RB gains 4 yds. 3rd play Georgia aligns in a tight 4 wide and Texas answers with a radar look. Roach at NT is the only guy with his hand on the ground. 2 rushing DL slant right, Shark is the added rusher from the LB spot. Johnson comes delayed on a looping stunt and Graham takes the running back. Georgia picks it up and Fromm is able to hit a short sideline pass In front of the coverage to convert. On the 4th play of the drive (1st & 10) Georgia is in 20 personnel and Texas again aligns 4-2 with Locke the overhang man and Boyd in press coverage on the opposite side. Locke bluffs run support and drops. Boyd releases the WR and comes up as the force man to TFL Swift. Again Texas ends up with 7 to stop the run. Loss of 2. On the 5th play Georgia goes empty which is nuts IMO since the there is no run threat. Texas has a heavy 3 man front (Omenihu, Nelson, Roach) with Johnson coming as the added rusher and dropping 7. Fromm can’t find anyone and takes off, tackled by GJ for a short gain. The next play is 3rd and 9 with UGa in 4 wide. Texas goes 3-2 dime with both LBs up in the A gaps and BJ Foster coming up as a 2nd level defender – effectively a 5-1 front. Foster is an added rusher, Shark drops as a robber and Johnson has coverage on the RB. Fromm gets heavy pressure, can’t find anyone and chucks it OOB. I don’t think he even knew what the coverage was, much less where the weak spots should be. I’m sure the coverage looked like a Chinese fire drill to Fromm. In some cases I had to watch it 3 or 4 times to figure out what was happening. And the quick pressures definitely reset the clock in his head. The first 2 running plays put the pressure to move the offense squarely on Fromm’s shoulders. And except for the 3rd down conversion, Fromm had no clue what the coverage was. There, he was able to ID a wide open man in single coverage once his line bought him time. Todd Orlando’s defense sure looked Formless to Jake Fromm. That old Chinese guy sure knew what he was talking about.

Been thinking about this list since the Sugar Bowl victory the other night. It’s some weird combination of national championship and mix of caliber of opponent defeated and upset/shock factor. Just my opinion. 1. 2006 Rose - #2 Texas 41 #1 USC 38 2. 2001 Orange - #1 Oklahoma 13 #2 Florida State 2 3. 1998 Orange - #2 Nebraska 41 #3 Tennessee 21 4. 2019 Sugar - #15 Texas 28 #5 Georgia 21 5. 2014 Sugar - #11 Oklahoma 45 #3 Alabama 31 6. 2008 Orange - #8 Kansas 24 #3 Virginia Tech 21 7. 2012 Fiesta - #3 Oklahoma State 41 #4 Stanford 38 8. 2000 Fiesta - #3 Nebraska 31 #5 Tennessee 21 9. 2003 Rose - #7 Oklahoma 34 #6 Washington State 14 10. 1996 Orange - #6 Nebraska 42 #9 Virginia Tech 17 11. 2014 Peach - #6 TCU 42 #9 Ole Miss 3 12. 2009 Fiesta - #3 Texas 24 #10 Ohio State 21 13. 2005 Rose - #4 Texas 38 #13 Michigan 37 14. 1997 Fiesta - #10 Kansas State 35 #14 Syracuse 18 15. 2017 Sugar - #7 Oklahoma 35 #14 Auburn 19 16. 2011 Fiesta - #7 Oklahoma 48 NR (LOL) Connecticut 20

But what about the Giants draft pick?

The crazier part — Shaun King is whiter than I am.

Funny how certain factions have went silent once the shooters ended up being black. Also very weird that the victims family was so descriptive that he was white. I think they knew the people who did it and are hiding something.

The shitter in the Oval Office is going to take a beating.

Riiight..... Here's how the conversation would go. Kliff: so Tom, I'd like to show you the new formation we're going to be moving to in 2019. It starts with... Brady: Just shut the fuck up right there and don't talk to me. EVER. Here, go deflate these balls for me.

You’re not getting it. Trump and the Republicans will blame all of that on the Democrats, and it will work. These people are either not smart enough to understand that the reason that their refunds aren’t coming is squarely and undeniably on the shoulders of Trump and the R’s, or they are too brainwashed to ever accept it. Or both.

The unfortunate thing about her description of the shooter, intentional or not, is that it stoked racial fires nationally and in Houston. It never would have made national news if the suspect hadn’t been described as white. That’s a fact. There also would not have been a hate whitey rally at the Walmart yesterday with all of the usually race baiting activists in attendance. Now that we have the real suspects, let’s convict them and fry them.

HUDL also isn't "tape", it's a highlight video. That's why coaches attend games, to observe players for the full 60 minutes.

It wasn't in a major, major bowl, but Tech over #4 Cal in 2004 seems like it is more deserving than an OU win over an unranked UConn

Iowa State is AAU. And aggy is a diploma mill.

Let me reset this fucking part of the conversation completely for you people. Location semantics don’t matter. Hamm is at FWK’s complex because he has no job, limited access to his family, and fwk is the last guy who will even acknowledge his existence, much less talk and give him access to recruits. Hed be at that guy’s complex if it was on the moon. The only place Taylor wouldnt go would be if the FWK had a mobile complex that was kept within 500 feet of his ex wife’s location at all times.

New menu drops this week. The biggest change is that we’ll now be serving the full bbq menu from 11am until 10pm, Tuesday through Sunday. Some of the specials will change, and we’ll be adding some new proteins and sides. Teasers: Lamb souvlaki with mint/basil yogurt sauce Smoked chicken salad sammich Altered alpine reuben with turkey and cole slaw. Smoked chicken enchiladas with house made verde sauce.

An FBI agent that investigated churches I used to know said in his 35 years that 100% of the churches he investigated were crooked. Now, he was quick to say that the pastor, congregation usually had no idea, it was just a secretary with a account husband or maybe a quiet Deacon of the Church with some financial knowledge. The way things are set up its just too easy too easy to embezzle/launder money for some people to resist. He retired 15 yrs ago, but said that when he left the Russian mob was actually forming respectable churches on the east coast so they could launder money. he said the only way to stop it is to make churches taxable. If you make it taxable all this stuff ends overnight, but that will never happen.

Even a broken clock, smax. The notion of a college degree has not only inflated the cost of college and increased consumer debt while devaluing the bachelor’s degree, it has also caused labor shortages in key skilled vocational labor fields and contributed to both flattened wage growth and the deterioration of high school curricula.

Hamm told himself, this is not my beautiful job Hamm told himself, this is not my beautiful wife Letting the days go by, let the pool water hold me down Letting the days go by, pool water flowing underground Into the bathroom again, after the money's gone

Some of you people really aren't cut out for recruiting. Bru didn't choose us, that's disappointing it doesn't make him a drama queen or a liar. Chill the fuck out for once and move on.

3rd and 13. Fuck you, you hyperbolic fucking piece of shit!

Media/Graphics department did good.
