  1. The Team Formerly Known as Texas Who is Becoming Texas Again --- 31 The Shell Carrying on Their Back Hare Defeaters Only --- 17
  2. How wonderfully cute. The logical reasons McMurphy is holding back information was already set forth on the previous page. You chose not to respond and instead... you stand there, your necklace of bucknuts in one hand, your shriveled up johnson in the other as the faded ohio state jersey and jorts begin to unravel at the seams as years of ding dongs and Red Cream Soda expand your waistline. If Urban was a 60% winning coach, you would be leading the parade to run him out of town on a rail. Instead, like the feckless, inbred, red polyester wearing hillbillies from ou, you attempt to stand in place waving your arms repeatedly saying, "There is nothing to see here. Move along." Go grab your ou brethren, go burn a couch, drink some Schoenling's Little King's cream ale and throw beer cans at opposing team's fans.
  3. No, this is exactly how you do it. First, it has already been established that both Urban and Smith are liars. Smith publicly states he never did any violence to her. 30 minutes later, McMurphy releases text exchanges indicating Smith apologized for choking his ex-wife. Oops. Urban lied at least 9 times to the media at the Big 10 Media day. These facts are not in dispute. Three days before Bucknuts is going to conclude its investigation, the information regarding the sex toys and public disclosure of his johnson are disclosed. The timing was perfect. During the investigation, Bucknuts undoubtedly asked Smith if there was any other incriminating or embarrassing incidents. Smith, being the liar he is, no doubt denied anything else. Right before the investigation is set to close, the new information is released. Not only is his credibility hit again with the general public, but this information release was targeted at the investigative committee. Now, any logical person believes that McMurphy has more damning information. Why release it now? Wait until Bucknuts suspends Urban for the first half of one game, then drop the bomb shell. That forces ohio state (the ou of the Big 10) to reevaluate and potentially gets outside pressure ramped out. McMurphy is playing the long game. Bucknuts is not.
  4. As I understand it, the federal court in the state of Maryland is still obligated to apply the substantive law of the State of Maryland. Federal procedural law would apply but the state substantive law would also apply. They could try to dig up a constitutional or civil rights violation to get around the damages cap and sovereign immunity...but that is a long row to hoe and been attempted (mostly unsuccessfully) many times.
  5. Keep in mind, since the University of Maryland is a state operated entity, sovereign immunity is going to remove most of the financial damage. I have not exhaustively researched it, but for acts of negligence committed by state employees, sovereign immunity is waived but only up to a cap of $200,000.00. Non-economic damages (with a survivor action added) are capped at around $2 million. I am too lazy to check to see if the non-economic cap applies to the state, but if the specific immunity number of $200K is applicable and everything else is excluded... that could easily explain why they are willing to fall on the sword.
  6. Wouldn't expect anything less from the moron who bedazzled the most iconic logo in college football. Fuck him.
  7. Dumbass trainers. That type of forced behavior, especially if repeated is textbook bulimia. Possible side effects? Severe electrolyte imbalance Chronic dehydration, which is not uncommon with bulimia, can cause critical health issues. Low potassium levels in the blood can cause heart arrhythmia or cardiomyopathy. Calcium levels are reduced which weakens the bones. Low magnesium levels could result in dizziness, fatigue, seizures, muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat. When your sodium level is off, cell can become dehydrated which could manifest itself in muscle cramps, headaches, seizures, intracranial hemorrhage and yes, death. If the ESPN story is remotely accurate on this issue and if it was used with other linemen, like Jordan McNair, they are increasing the likelihood of these tragedies. With the cause of death being listed as "heatstroke," most of the symptoms are the same as those caused by bulimia or binge eating.
  8. Those people in that parade ... Is that the annual Parade of Virgins ?
  9. Today would have been the 25th birthday of my beloved daughter, Morgan. It does not get easier. She was taken by eating disorders in October 2016. Fortunately... I have villains that I can go after with all of the experience and knowledge and strength and resolve at my command ... And I will never stop.
  10. At the same time, The Purple Wizard and K-State are lucky as hell they didn't play the 5 best Texas teams between 2000 - 2009. They missed us in 2001. They missed Vince in 2004 and 2005. They missed a mature Colt in 2008 and 2009. (Prince there in 2008) Hell, Colt tore up his shoulder in 2006 in the first quarter or there's a substantial likelihood we win that game. Yeah, it's great he has performed miracles at that God forsaken, shit hole of a school. Those miracles extended to missing some great Texas teams. And if that had happened, the perception as to the Horns would be very different,

    Great Quotes

    "We have a given problem to solve. To refuse to deal with it at all merely amounts to dealing with it badly. If we undertake the solution, there is, of course, always danger that we may not solve it aright; but to refuse to undertake the solution simply renders it certain that we cannot possibly solve it aright." President Teddy Roosevelt And if you have not read his "The Strenuous Life" speech given in 1899, it should be must reading.
  12. Urban employed some pretty dumb attorneys. Whoever drafted that nonsense needs to be taken out and horsewhipped. He is now placed himself in a firm position of, "I did report it." And there had better be proof. If he did, someone up the chain of command is going to have his head chopped off. If there is no tangible proof that he reported it, he just sealed his fate.
  13. I recall a time ... oh so long ago... 1990... The Whatever It Takes team. We had not played in black cleats all year until ... it was announced that we would wear them in our bowl game that year. We were ranked in the Top 5 going into the Cotton Bowl. We were Texas. We were back. We wore black cleats. And then... on a miserably cold day in Dallas ... The University of Miami. To this day, I still shudder a bit recalling the pain, the anguish from that day... and how jazzed the players were about fucking black fucking cleats. Fuck. I am still suffering from Charlie Not-So Strong PTSD recalling that horrible day.
  14. Stay strong my friend. The world is a more interesting place with you in it ... fighting, scratching. We don't know how we are called, or the direction our soul will take us. But, perhaps we need you here to continue to get out the message. And if even one person decides to continue to fight, to continue to live because they see that you are still here fighting your pain and grief... then, perhaps that is just a start. Thoughts are with you.
  15. It has been forever Hombre! Oh those days when we were both raising hell on soonerfans... stirring the pot, having fun.
  16. One of you Intertrons geniuses need to come up with some "fake news articles" claiming to have inside information that Texas and the SEC have had preliminary discussions about Texas joining the SEC when the Big XII grant-of-rights contract expires ... but only on the condition that aggy is expelled. Those sheep humpin' bastards' heads would explode.
  17. Truer words were never spoken. And it may have reached its tipping point similar to what happened to the subprime mortgage industry in 2017. Here are two articles I wrote on it (caution to theTL/DR crowd... don't waste your time: http://dadsjourneywithed.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-mental-health-parity-act-crisis-of.html http://dadsjourneywithed.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-mental-health-parity-act-crisis-of_16.html I am going to DC at the end of August to meet with an executive director of the largest eating disorder organization in the US, a couple of lobbyists, a private equity person, a few more foundation owners and supposedly a Congressman. Something has to be done about the shit show going on and if I can move the ball further down the field, how much would I suck if I didn't embrace that opportunity. My daughter, who is undoubtedly raising all sorts of hell with God in heaven right now, would come back down here and kick my ass if this opportunity was not pursued.
  18. He coached like he was with the co-current football IQ. Good riddance to that Fuck.
  19. Was there. Wasn't much fun. Spent much more time on soonerfans as the resident opposition, stirring up shit and trolling.
  20. So, we will be playing on December 29 in the Cotton Bowl. Excellent.
  21. It does help that in every possible measure, he was the worst coach in the history of Texas football.
  22. Three words ... Charlie Fucking Not-So Strong.
