  10. I'm still just excited and happy I lived during this era of astros baseball after 35+ plus years of misery. Don't care what they do. I got to watch my team hang 2 world series titles in my life and share that plus countless memories with my kid. I want them to continue with success cause I remember all the decades of heartbreak. There was no way they were keeping Tuck so they did what was best to keep the window open.

  11. Whoa, now. 12 men have walked on the moon and 2 of them, including the very first, did undergrad at Purdue. Aggy, well, they made a maroon carrot.

  13. I don't have the economic means to exit America. -- In the end, it may not matter. When America goes full-on fascist and theocratic, it wont matter what state you live in or which country, as the rest of America and world will be in jeopardy. I am a writer, intellectual, and artist who makes a decent living on my work. With a solid rep, including a few legit prestigious awards, albeit very obscure awards in artsy-fartsy worlds. But I am an utterly insignificant speck of dust. (Especially compared to McConaughey levels of acclaim or other alums celebrated by UT.) My career is 100% totally dependent on funding and/or patronage. -- There is no one or no entity to protect me. Few, if any, of the organizations that fund are going to stand up to Trump/MAGA. -- Hell, corporate leaders, university leaders, art world leaders are not uttering a peep. Why? Thoughtcrimes are real and they are here. The editor of Scientific America was forced out because she said the truth about Trump and MAGA: they are fascists, racists, etc. She had to publicly recant. More thoughtcrimes are coming! When the editor of the most prestigious science magazine is toast, who will protect me? No one. Not with my lengthy track record of being a philosophical critic of anti-science, MAGA, Trump, Q, fanaticism, and much more. Not rants hidden behind an avatar. Systematic critiques drawing from philosophy, history, art, technology, pop culture, etc. Showing MAGA is taking America backward into a medievalist hellscape of idiocy, misogyny, racism, state violence, and religious fanaticism. Going back to 2006. On the record. In public. With my real name! I was writing long before Project 2025 showed up. My gf is very worried I could be doxxed and harassed. So, out of sheer naked self-interest and career survival, I have scrubbed from the internet what I could scrub at various sites. . -- A dozen lengthy essays that systematically critiqued the philosophy and various cultural ramifications of Trump/MAGA/Q. -- Some essays got a few thousand reads, some in the dozens. So, nowhere near a huge following. -- I have other stuff in books and anthologies that cannot be scrubbed. My interests are science, art, philosophy, not politics. But, I know what I see with MAGA. At least I was out there. In public. Fucking trying to make a difference. And failing. TL/DR: Some days I feel like a coward. Other days I don't give a shit. Why? Because there is no one to protect me and my career. -------- I am sure the Surly MAGA bros will show up to laugh, tell me to suck it up, to pull up my bootstraps. Have at it you fascist fuckers. Some day, somehow, you or family members will feel the pain of the coming MAGA medievalism you now celebrate.

  14. If you bitch and complain about Crane spending you either don’t know ball or you have no recollection of Drayton and the early Luhnow years. Crane has too much involvement in baseball ops and needs to listen to the smart folks in the room more instead of the “baseball guys”. But the Astros are consistently carrying a top 5 payroll in baseball. If you told 2013 RGBIII that he would laugh in your face. Letting springer and Correa walk was absolutely the right decision and those contracts will be albatross's in a year or two, if they aren’t already. it sucks watching talent walk out the door, especially ones you have grown fond of but NOT signing these dumb ass contracts is how you stay in contention. “But RGBIII our window is right now”, cool so you want to skull fuck our next 8 years for these next two years? Is that how the business you work in operates? “But RGBIII they need to extend our homegrown players!” Do you not remember extending altuve, Bregman, yordan, McCullers, Javier in recent years? “But RGBIII this trade makes our team worse this year!” Ya that’s how it works, we are slightly worse this year but we are massively better in 2026 and 2027 because Tucker didn’t leave for nothing (again!). “But RGBIII look at what the Yankees and dodgers are doing” cool, we aren’t in those markets and regardless of success we will never be, check back in 5 years and ask me how those contracts have worked out for them. seeing “crane needs to sell the team” comments is the most retarded shit I have ever seen on this website. You either don’t know ball or you have absolutely no inclination on how bad it could get, go ask a Rockies or pirates fan if they would trade owners with us and see their response. Shut the fuck up and see how the offseason plays out or even better, go find another team and see how it works out for you. Putas

  17. Quinn Ewers has been the QB on two Texas playoff teams. We haven't been this good since 2009. You hoes ain't loyal. No, he is not perfect Superman. There are only a few of those people at QB. I hope he does the thing in the playoffs and we beat everyone by 3. When he goes to the league and falls to a not shitty team, he'll be fine. Respect the Jewels.

  18. The portal needs to calm down, @Helobious only has 2 hands and a full focus on DTs. I’d say he can start using his mouth but then how would he let people know that he’s Hispanic? We may have to see how dexterous his feet are before all is said and done

  19. The “secret” notion is just that the staff is locked down regarding the portal. They’re not divulging anything to anyone. Info is coming from players only. So some folks think one or more portal guys are on campus this weekend. Just don’t know who.

  21. You’re right. Two separate things can’t have the same name in this world. For example it’s not possible for you to be stupid and a cunt at the same time. Never mind it’s not only possible but true, on both counts.

  22. Bawaahahaha. 52-80 tried to argue incessantly that the Texas communications program was irrelevant for football players making decisions on schools, and the very FIRST portal transfer called out the communications dept as a significant reason for committing to Texas.

  23. After I got out of grad school I worked at UT for 6 years doing research. I kept my student athletics pass (now "The Big Ticket") up to date, and would go to every home game, and some OU games. I'd have to drive to campus from Pickle (then Balcones) Research Center to get in line, and pretty much never told anyone I was bailing for a couple of hours. One year a local news outlet came to film the long line for OU tickets. Guess who they caught on camera? I launched the 6 o'clock news that night. The boss was half pissed and half amused. I avoided a firing, though.
