48-17 Texas Should easily be 50+ but Sark (mistakenly) calls off the dogs. If we hang half a hunnert on 'em then I'll begin to believe Muschamp is helping Sark find a pair of brass balls.

Guess what, Einstein? Midtier still has those pins in his hand. Which may or may not have an impact on his average arm, meathead mentality, his inability to read a defense, and innate desire to try to be a human battering ram behind an O line that may just suck ahit through a straw.

He was cleared to play. Your coach and staff were all on board with him being "good to go." He couldn't do jack shit against the Texas defense. And I don't expect a HGH loaded up version this year is going to fair significantly better against a likely better defense.

Mateer was healthy and cleared to play by your HC Venables and the entire esteemed (cough, cough) ou training staff. He played as well as he was capable of against a superior defensive team.

Gloria Steinem today. 92.

Was she your tutor?

Feel the pain of your decisions, fuckers. Sure, you were fine with the thought of your vote eliminating funding for WIC, SNAP, Medicaid and other social programs because those "lazy" people just didn't deserve support. But now your orange god has fucked your ability to earn a living and you haven't received another multi-billion dollar bailout (yet). Better give those bootstraps a big ol' pull, dumbasses.

SIAP. Anyone watched this yet?

After a year-ish sober, the BIL has apparently decided that "he's good" and can handle "a couple drinks now and again." Mrs GOTJ just found this out a few weeks ago when her sister confessed that he'd relapsed several months ago and that she'd been keeping it quiet and cautiously monitoring his actions. After decades of living with an alcoholic she's developed some pretty convincing (to her, anyway) cover stories. My wife unraveled it this time after a facetime event w/ family members where her sister looked worse than their mother who'd just recently had unexpected surgery. None of the family had seen her in person in several months (we're all 3-5 hours from one another), and it's a busy time of year for her work. The BIL hasn't worked in a couple years and she's been working extra hard not to just provide for them but to get her out of the house. His sickness is manifesting inside of her. We both have a feeling about how this is likely to turn out. We're making preparations in the event the SIL needs to move in with us. Fuck this disease.

Every neighbor who interacts with him should be alert & recording anything he says/does in their presence. Establish a pattern of him being menacing/threatening. And if LEO won't do anything about it, reach out to local TV/media.

I know of at least three Austin-area colleagues (adults) who've all come down w/ COVID in the last month, two fairly mild cases and one who was out for over a week. It's definitely going around again.

Wisner with one rush for 4 yards for the game as FSU is just trying to grind down NMSU.

Noles are looking at a long, shitty season at this rate.

Crocodile tears for ya, ya 4' cos play tough guy. You thought you were going to be able to hurt & kill brown people to your heart's delight. And you'd probably still be in charge of ICE had your private SS troops not killed a couple of white minnesotans. You committed the cardinal sin of making Trump look bad. May you spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder in fear. That's the price you pay for being a piece of shit human.

Ahh, the old "I love my LGBTQ friends" line followed by the bullshit trope that kids are being operated on & having gender reassignment procedures without their parent's knowledge. Better pick yourself by your bootstraps, bitch.

We're hiking around Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend where they filmed An Officer and a Gentleman. My wife was humoring me and filming my reenactment of the "Ive got no place else to go" scene when the alert came through. I suddenly felt incredibly stupid & silly. We took a moment & looked out over the Strait of Juan De Fuca. She's as timeless as all of the elements now.

Look, my dad's 3rd wife is an evil bitch from hell. She'smanipulated him & caused unnecessary strife amongst my family for 30 years. She has MS, has had cancer, a Whipple procedure & clinically died twice, only to be revived. Shit does not die. It just creates more shit.

Does anyone still think the midterms will be legit? Or that dotard will leave in 2028?

We leave here tomorrow for 3 nights in Sequim where we're also scouting retirement opportunities. In a few years maybe we can meet up at Salty Girls Seafood or Peninsula Taproom for a drink. Had dinner at The Loft last night. Only seen one pro-Trump sign up here so far, an obnoxiously large banner in a very well-healed neighborhood. My "Be Kind...it's really not that hard" t-shirt got plenty of smiles, thumbs ups and "love your shirt" remarks. Maybe it's easier to stay positive when you're surrounded by natural beauty & your local politicians aren't actively working to make your life more miserable & less safe.

Is it safe to assume that "under center" means there's a 90% chance of a QB keeper?

Elko hinging this season on Reed throwing 30+ passes per game plus another 5+ designed runs is certainly something. Add in the shots he's going to take scrambling for his life because the OL can't pass or run block and he might not be upright by November.

Spending a week in WA to escape the heat & general ATX insanity. We were in Poulsbo yesterday, a beautiful little Norwegian village on an inlet. A couple dozen citizens were out protesting Trump & ICE, marching up & down the idyllic streets. I looked at Mrs GOTJ and told her "this is the kinda place we need to escape to permanently."

Yep. I'm waiting to hear if this was how @'stache remembers him trolling the old oSu boards years ago. He's quickly becoming a beating.
