  1. I was curious and found one HF reference that still lives: https://www.hornfans.com/threads/your-an-idoit.83/ Sadly, the original Austin 360 post is gone.
  2. Stop it, get help. A member of the other team concedes a point? Great! Use that concession against them. Don't muddy the water. Don't help the fascists. You need to fight the urge for precision, because that urge aids and abets the liars and grifters.
  3. Considering the definition of person, we should endeavor to make Delaware the most populous state by 2030.
  4. All day to throw. Both lines are garbage. That’s a bigger problem than QB. Sub in for Arch all you want. It won’t matter if you can neither protect nor get to the QB.
  5. The offense sucking is one thing. But I was told we had lots of good pass rushers. Are we saving them for OU?
  6. He's also gone out of his way to snub the Longhorns. The most recent example being lighting up the Tower of the Americas to support the Washington Huskies when we played them in the Alamo Bowl. He's a cunt who just had to lay off all his employees as Covid lockdowns started but before the PPP and other bailouts to businesses were announced. Fuck him and every establishment he owns, including the Rockets. I say that as a lifelong fan, until he bought them.
  7. Good. It's hard enough to get a tee time as it is. Go play pickleball. I'm looking forward to a bunch of folks dropping their memberships in the upcoming economic collapse. I loved the 3 hour rounds of the first 3-4 weeks of COVID before everyone realized golf courses never shut down.
  8. Either that or light the country on fire. But it was worth a shot, in hindsight.
  9. What will be done will be happens every time a people comes of a crisis period. Overreaction by the new masters with the docile consent of people who all swear they were on the side of the new regime the whole time. The deeper this crisis becomes, the more likely we have a whole new system of government. The question of what minor tweaks might prevent a relapse isn't interesting to me. As I said above, no system survives if the group with every lever of power submits to no restrain its use of that power. The emergency powers w/o guardrails bit you're tying yourself in knots over smells like before times you dredging up a small government grievance than of anything important to the current state of things. Almost like you're trying to pat yourself on the back w/ an "I told you so." Not saying that's what you're doing, just understand the optics. The problem with the framing you've set up is Trumpism would've exploited any constitutional and statutory scheme. The only guardrails that ever mattered were whether any other wielders of federal power would have effectively stood up to DOTUS if some other framework existed. The answer is "no." Short of a divine-right monarchy that would have drawn and quartered bone spurs had he tried to come at the king, no system would ever have been sturdy enough to stand up to this cult. The nature of any excuses are irrelevant. Without a handy sensical one, a word salad one suffices right now.
  10. 2 things. 1. “Can’t” is now a meaningless word in this context. Courts can do whatever they want. Lower courts choose not to review for various reasons. Sure one reason is they know they’ll be overturned based on a facial analysis by any higher court. But, given that DOTUS is acting like an autocrat, even a short-lived ruling highlighting the executive’s evil has value, even if just to not go down quietly. 2. Stop with the “but ackshually” shit. I get it. We’re trained to think this way. But the end of the world as we knew it has come. We must unlearn what we have learned if there’s any hope for the experiment. Gotta get your mind ready for war.
  11. Any democracy fails when one party fails to follow the norms that exist outside the laws and processes. Judicial review? Meaningless when one party is all in on deferring to their god-king.
  12. He made it easy on the ref to consider that uncatchable. Wingo has to make it obvious by playing through the contact.
  13. softlynow replied to sheeeit's topic in Football
    They’re both terrible. Ware has a special place in my heart, though, because whenever a play goes under review, if he stakes out a position the refs always go the other direction. In a world of so much uncertainty, that kind of regularity is comforting.
  14. It gets better. No, not the country, this is merely -1930 on the nazi timeline. I mean how you handle living in dark times. I mourned the death of this country in November. I went through the 5 stages of grief and into acceptance sometime before Christmas. You need to realize it’s over to begin the grieving process. Then you can think more clearly about what is best for you and yours. You’ll start greeting each new low with a shrug rather than rage or tears. If you need to plan or take action, like our brothers and sisters in at risk demos, you can. Until you grieve the USA you’re gonna remain in vapor lock. Do yourself a favor and let go of all hope of a peaceful return to the before times.
  15. What we lawyers would’ve advised a year ago is irrelevant. Ask yourself what Dotard would want. That’s the law now.
  16. Jimmy said keep your “it’s over” out of his thread. I think we should. Not because it isn’t over, it totally is, but because we should have at least one thread where we see what it would’ve been like to show real fight before it was over.
  17. This is why this country is fucked. Dems have been screaming forever that the right lives off the Big Lie. To some extent that was true in the before times, but we've seen for a decade that this is unquestionably true now. We've seen that truth is no defense, that more speech is not the antidote, and sunlight is clearly not an effective disinfectant. So what is the left doing about it? Fuck all. The only path here was (it's over, everyone needs to internalize that) to be better than them at the same game. Flood the zone with bigger fucking lies. Do it about every asshole who puts an (R) next their name or writes or says anything positive about someone with an (R) next to their name. Scortch the earth with lies so outrageous that Fox News has to take significant time away from spreading their lies to addressing the left's. Now they control every lever of power, and can weaponize government, even that pathway is closed. Speech is dangerous now. It has started with taking livelihoods because you've dared defy the state's preferred ideas. Soon it'll be freedom. Then lives. I hope @troph is OK.
  18. EGAT has been a complete waste of time, if you're looking for Texas Football analysis, for quite some time. The greatest enjoyment I got from that cast last year was thinking about all the money lost by that gambler he had on before the first Geogia game.
  19. That's why you bounce your access off 9 different substations throughout the world and 2 satellites.
  20. Either you don't undersand the English language, or are an unrepentant liar. We know all too well his beliefs. We know yours, as well.
  21. If the Peach Bowl refs had been XII, Taaffe gets called for targetting and we likely lose. I'm not saying that was clearly not targetting, but if any call was "controversial" we got the short end with XII refs.
  22. Lotta theories flying around. I guess folks just can't admit they don't know shit about fuck.
  23. Sark probably thinks Arch’d miss those targets, too, and we’d be looking at several losses on backward passes and a few fumbles. I know i’d stay away from those throws. He needs to sit. May need to transfer to SMU.
  24. Sit the fucker. He’s not right in the head.
  25. NO! Fuck that shit. That is how we got here. Trumptards understand this is a war for the soul of the nation. Libs whine about how mean they are. That's how we fucking got here. Rid yourself of that shit. Truth is irrelevant. Power is all. Learn that or just go ahead and line up for a boxcar. New truth: Fox News advocates extermination of the homelss by any means. Repeat it. Rinse. Repeat it again. FUCK THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE. Or just go gentle into the night. Those are your choices. Half measures are tantamount to surrender.
