  1. Voted my girl Warren today! Felt good. Let's go Liz!
  2. Agreed! Capitalism when married with progressive democracy is the best recipe to motivate and inspire people to innovate and work. It's the secret recipe in America's success. We do not have that right now. Capitalism has to be held in check by a democracy that includes regulations and freedom and a court system, etc.. That's what Warren wants. Socialism/Democratic Socialism/Communism etc (not that these are all the same) do not have the same sort of mechanisms in place to inspire or incentivize innovation, invention or entrepreneurialism. My guess is we agree on more than we disagree on but just come at it from different starting points and maybe end at different points as well with lots of overlap in the middle.
  3. I don't agree with Bernie's approach, philosophy, background, personality, pretty much everything about him except a few of his policies that he shares with Warren. But Warren comes at those policies from a capitalistic perspective. If I gave Warren everything she wanted, we wind up in a totally different place than where we would be if Bernie could have everything he wants. Pete - no experience - life or political, no anything except a lot of snark and a really off-putting elitist, spoiled, bratty personality. This election is not about policies for me. Its about ethics, morals, experience, leadership. And I think Warren wins on all of those. And I think we would be fine with Biden, Bloomberg or Klobuchar as well. They are all good people with good experience. Of course, I would vote for either over Trump. But I would prefer not to if given the choice.
  4. Im hoping Warren can turn this around. She is my favorite by far. Followed by Biden, Bloomberg, and Klobuchar. Bernie and Pete aren't even on my board.
  5. Moores are good and in Drip. Frosty is recovering from a recent heart attack. Gonna differ with the above as to who the better Moore is at this point. Dr. Dean Chen, Dr. Scott Welch are both in Westlake Dr. Villarreal at DOC at Slaughter Ln If you want to discuss further, send me a PM.
  6. and that is a TOTALLY true and accurate statement.
  7. Finished the half in 2 hours flat. Not bad. It was fun. Full is next.
  8. i dont understand the Brocks. if i were them, i would have committed to Texas early and help Milroe build out the #1 class in the nation thereby ensuring program, as well as their own, success. but thats just me.
  9. Let me know if she wants to chat with my daughter about her experience at UT in CNS. My daughter is an Environmental Science major on the biology track. Did she apply to any of the honors programs? My daughter has found the Dean's Scholar community to be extremely welcoming and has a very small school feel to it.
  10. I had it 3-2, Reyes. I don't mind the decision as the champ should get the nod unless it was taken from him. But 4-1 is laughable. And if you are going to give credit for takedown, then give credit for an escape. Also Reyes wasn't moving backwards or avoiding the fight. He was moving side to side which is what you are supposed to do. Jones was not initiating anymore than Reyes. Good fight. We should definitely run that one back.
  11. goddammit... it was a joke. lol... i know when to use moot vs mute supposably.
  12. first of all, you missed the joke re mute/moot. but thanks for the correction guy. second, Texas is never a bad career move for anyone much less someone at the top of their field in coaching the football. this is a stupid argument. No one ever said man i sure wish i didnt go coach at Texas for that season or two, make a shit load of money, build recruiting ties in one of the largest recruiting hotbeds, and generally increase my stock as a position coach / coordinator. and if done right, you can help recruit other top coaches to come with you so you can assure success for the move. but again, dumb argument. and its MOOT because Herman is a dumbass who would rather be the smartest guy in the room than hire the best coaches.
  13. Im blown away people don't think like this. this is the way it should be. and any head coach worthy of being the HC at Texas should be able to walk into that room of boosters and talk them into giving him what he needs to hire the coaches needed to win multiple NCs. Herman is apparently not that guy. so its a mute point.
  14. not surprised. just disappointed and confused. i thought CDC would impose some guardrails to keep Herman from going full retard.
  15. I dont understand. Are you trying to say that Stanford is better than Texas? Palo Alto better than Austin? Don't do this.
  16. i just dont get it. You are at THE University of Texas. You have a blank check to hire any coach you want. You put together a pretty decent offensive staff (even though it could have been better with a true ace at the WR coach position and upgrading Drayton to another ace recruiter. But still, Boulware and Yurcich and Coleman are all positive steps. Maybe not the best, but at least positive. But then on the defensive side, you recycle Ash. Ok, bad HC but won a NC at OSU as co-DC. He employs a four man front and plays quarters behind it as his base D. Both of which are crucial imo to defending spread offenses. Keep Giles, eh. Bring in the SC LB coach, ok, now we're talking. Hir Valai, WTF? And then Hagan? WHO? What? FUck you. Will it be an improvement over last year's D? Sure, assuming we dont bring a blitzer from 15 yards deep on the hash from the wide side of the field. But why? Why not go get the best? The best corners coach, the best LB coach, the best DL coach. The best RB and WR coach. WHY WOULDNT YOU DO THAT? I have no fucking clue but our guy just bet $5MM per year on a cast of spares and retreads.
  17. a 5'11 245 lb DE who runs a 4.78 shuttle? WTF?
  18. I would look into appealing. As noted above, we know several families who appealed and were accepted.
  19. HA! Meant Palo Alto. Sorry. But my point remains. The weather is better in Austin. Its prettier. Its more fun. Palo Alto sucks. If you drive an hour north or south, you can find some fun stuff. but good luck with the traffic. And since the schools are comparable, why bother?
  20. I have inside information that there is a new school that Collins is considering. Its Stanford. He really likes the academic side of it but there are some in his circle that are arguing that the education opportunities at the University of Texas are just as good. I think I agree. I mean I know Stanford is a good school and all but come on, we are talking about THE University of BY GOD TEXAS! Austin vs Palo Duro? No contest. UT connections vs. Stanford. Easy. I dont think Stanford will be able to pull him but I guess you have to at least consider the possibility...
  21. Not looking good for Lake. He hasnt said it but it appears to be coming from the Texas side.
