  1. If he got it removed after finding out what it meant, I think that's acceptable. Not great, but again I don't believe they have a very deep bench in a state that's 100% white. Find me a replacement candidate, I'm all for it. However, I still pick him over Susan Collins.
  2. I know about the SS. I don't know any of their symbols besides the swastika.
  3. this looks goofy as hell, can't say i've heard of it
  4. What kind of tattoo is it? I am not up on biker culture
  5. There's a reason Ohio State wanted him.
  6. If he's a present day Nazi that's a problem. Otherwise, isn't this exactly the demographic people have been handwringing about winning back from the Manosphere? You gotta meet people where they are. A working class millennial veteran from rural Maine is more likely than not going to have made some unsavory friends and participated in some unsavory shit. Afghanistan ain't Vassar.
  7. There are probably heated emails and group texts being exchanged right now. Hopefully they get leaked to journalists or retrieved in a public record request
  8. What Starts Here Ends The World
  9. You replace Sark with like any texas high school football coach and we get at least 250 yard on UK
  10. I bet the UNC fanbase really misses Sally these days
  11. Are you repudiating free content from our friends at the Lowey Law Firm and Duck Camp?
  12. I should buy a used laptop to quarantine the methstreams aids
  13. It's the system, stupid.
  14. The tourist taxes (hotels and entertainment, i believe) play a role but it's not clear to me what the role is. Something about servicing bonds? This sort of ties back to the opposition's point: we have no clue what we're signing up for, maybe we should get an independent economic assessment. And maybe it's kind of suspicious how much pushback that simply doing due diligence is getting. Like a car salesman getting mad about the customer asking for Carfax. Does it mean it's a bad deal? Not necessarily, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
  15. Honestly I don't like discussing Project Marvel in this thread. I want ridiculous Wemby clips and seeing Dylan Harper / Carter Bryant hype. HEB commercials.
  16. When the gameplan is simple, and Arch doesn't have too much to think about, he makes his throws. When Sark insists on overloading his brain with complicated, slow-developing MENSA horseshit, his mechanics suffer and his aim suffers. That is the most plausible explanation for Arch's performance. The OU gameplan allowed Arch to do what he does best. The UK gameplan did not. If Arch transfers somewhere else, and the HC/OC lets him hang his nuts low, he is capable of winning a Heisman. Sark is very clearly trying to make Arch into something he is not. That is dumb, and having a shitty OL makes it worse.
  17. I'm not a construction guru but it's been my understanding that a TIRZ is a special district with special tax incentives that state law creates. The idea is to attract spending on projects that will benefit the local economy. https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/development/prop-tax/ch311/about-tirz.php The tax on the "before" values (low, SHSU football team quality) will still go to the city (county, school districts, etc), but the tax on the "after" portion (high [Bama quality] minus low [SHSU quality]) doesn't go to the city (or other taxing entities) anymore, it goes to into a separate piggy bank that benefits the developers only. The rules of the piggy bank can be fast and loose, too. In 2035, you could see palatial developments all over downtown, but the city's tax revenue from those palaces will be the same as the revenue from a condemned shack full of heroin addicts, because most of the appraised value of those palaces is going to be taxed under the TIRZ deal and most of the money will get diverted into the piggy bank that the city, county, school districts, and other taxing districts can't touch.
  18. No (companies can train their own goddamned technicians) No (we should be able to raise money however we need to in the future) No (don't micromanage judges, better to let 99 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man be jailed, yada yada) Yes (see @Brisketexan post above) No (only benefits a few people who are probably Abbott's friends so fuck 'em) No (we should be able to raise money however we need to in the future) Yes (drop in the bucket for our budget but huge for the worthy beneficiaries) No (we should be able to raise money however we need to in the future) No (only benefits a few people who are probably Abbott's friends so fuck 'em) Yes (drop in the bucket for our budget but huge for the worthy beneficiaries) No (close call, but it hurts school districts at a time they can't afford to be hurt) No (judges should not get a slap on the wrist if they're bad) No (close call, but it hurts school districts at a time they can't afford to be hurt) Yes (drop in the bucket for our budget but huge for the worthy beneficiaries) No (meaningless culture war bullshit, doesn't belong in the constitution) No (don't enshrine racial dogwhistles in our constitution) No (don't enshrine racial dogwhistles in our constitution and we sure as fuck don't want to burden the state budget either)
  19. Is it time to fly a banner?
  20. Reading comprehension. I said "Kentucky played about as well as they possibly could" I did not say "Kentucky played well"
  21. I've seen enough football to know the script of some games. Yesterday was a classic Underdog Outplays and Outperforms the Favorite, Gets Multiple Chances to Win, Loses in Heartbreaking Fashion games. I won't go so far as to say I knew we were going to win all along. I felt the pit in my stomach that we were going to lose. But I never felt like our team was less talented or victory was totally out of reach. Kentucky played about as well as they possibly could, but they made one mistake and that's all it took. They should have fully capitalized on the opportunities we gave them, and they didn't. I actually expected Mark Stoops to fake the FG at the end of regulation and hit a wide open receiver for the go-ahead TD. That's the kind of night it was, until it wasn't.
  22. I have a feeling we will look better at Miss St, but Miss St is not terrible so an improvement might not be enough to win.
