I hate everything East of downtown Houston. I would rather drive to California than fly anywhere East. Hell, I'd rather drive to California than to Lafayette, La. I have a particularly strong dislike for anything Louisiana.

Could you direct me to where attendance has gone up the last 3 years? All I can find is it's down the last 3 years with 2019 being the worst attended year of the decade. That was on statistica.com My bad. You pointed out tv ratings.

That's far too divisive. Ebony and ivory takes care of both and is a very uniting tune.

Never gonna work because of the last line. Way too Christian.

Richard Sherman none too happy about Cam only guaranteed a million. I don't like to kick a guy when he's down so I'll root for him to hit a few of his incentives. He just got married so he'll need the money. I heard him in an interview with his agent a month or 2 ago and he seemed like a decent guy. Talked about his charity and his wedding, came across as pretty genuine. Fuck the Pats though.

-3, too old to put a number on, -1, 0

You're correct. Intrastate Battle would likely be more appeasing.

Intrastate war is on its way. It has a nice nonoffending ring to it.

Kind of ironic ain't it, cause unfortunately I'm sure it was white people who coined the word. I'd be happy never to hear it again, except for in Blazing Saddles of course. They could mute it every time a white guy says it if need be. If Gone With The Wind will come with some sort of denouncement from now on, Blazing Saddles is headed for the furnace.

Sooo, it's probably been answered but what happens with graduating seniors if there is no season? Can Sam hang around and take basket weaving next year so he can play? I Know in his case he has a redshirt year plus his 4th year. I've heard the word unprecedented what seems like thousands of times since this whole virus started, but as far as college sports go it's truly unprecedented. Sorry to stray away from strictly virus talk to get a little football/virus talk in.

Thanks for the Sul Ross history lesson in the aggy thread. I had no idea what a POS that guy was.

I apologize for the false accusation. Sometimes my memory isn't very good and I'm too lazy to go back and look at things, otherwise we could have resolved our differences and misunderstandings long ago. Peace!

I like to think I'm up on my history, given my DAR award and all I received in high school. Lol. But I realize now that so many historical figures are more controversial than I ever learned in my history classes. I just believe if back in January if you would have asked students on campus who Jim Hogg was you may have gotten a former governor of Texas from a few, but how many knew he was racist? Hell, I didn't even know, but now that I do it doesn't surprise me. I just learned from reading a post by randolphduke that Sul Ross was a real piece of shit confederate general. Why they ever named a university after him I have no idea. Everyone of course knows of Robert E Lee and his statue may belong in a museum somewhere but not on a university campus or even public park. Bottom line is I think most of us agree everyone should feel comfortable on campus and I was sincere when I said change the names and take down the statues. What I meant by it changes nothing is it won't keep racist or bad cops from killing an innocent man or keep someone from hiring a person because of the color of their skin. I guess every journey starts with a first step. I don't think we're too far apart on how we think about this issue, except for possibly donations to BLM. I said in a previous post have more scholarships for black students instead. I think that would be money better spent and less likely to line someone's pockets. Damn, I mention R. D. in my post and there he is. And by the way I saw you were the spelling Nazi when someone spelled a lot allot, it's apologize, not apologise. Just messing with you. If we all spent time correcting everyone's spelling nothing would get posted. I know I've had my share of misspellings.

Actually, nowhere did I post anything about knowing how black athletes feel and that it doesn't bother them. Show me now or stfu. I said I doubt most students and student athletes probably didn't know much about who the buildings were named after until recently. Could I be wrong about that, absolutely, but I doubt it. Then I proceeded to say change the names, take down the statues, change the words, but don't donate to BLM because it's basicly extortion.

I believe I stated I don't believe the majority of students of all races on campus have no idea who most of these buildings are named after. Pretty simple. As I said in another post, change all the names and remove the statues, but I don't believe in donating to BLM or any group.

I'll ask you this. I was responding to a post that said its amazing the change these athletes can accomplish with the power they hold or something to that effect. What makes you so sure these symbolic changes will really make a difference. I'm not arguing these changes shouldn't happen, there should be no statues of racists or buildings named after racists on campus. My argument is it's not going to bring about significant change in the long run. My question is how far is everyone willing to go. Is Red McCombs next on the hit list for saying Charlie Strong would only make a good coordinator at UT, he's not head coach material. There was a lot of racism claims thrown at Red around here or Shaggy I guess. No one will dare say anything before he kicks the bucket, gotta get some of his $$$ when he goes.

Time to start showing some dumbass white guys doing stupid shit and getting shot. You know there has to be plenty of them just not sure why it never makes national news.

How do you know they are so different from Mr Schenker and myself? I'm pretty sure you know nothing about me or my background. I guess time will tell if these changes make a difference. I guess from now on everyone on this board everyone should start with IMO before 90% of posts.

Schools are a necessity that the vast majority of taxpayers benefit from, wether you have children or not. A mass transit system than a vast minority of taxpayers will ever use is asinine.

As many people as possible need to keep or start working from home. It's been great getting around Houston the last few months. I know very few people mass transit really works for. My neighbor wants it it go to the museum district twice a year but I sure as hell don't want to help him pay for it. I'd rather drive his old ass down there twice a year than pay for something I'll never use. Between income, property, sales, gas and other business taxes I pay I'm taxed out. I hope it fails for the sake of the Austin taxpayer. I seriously doubt it'll do a damn thing to resolve traffic congestion. It's just not convenient enough for a large majority of the population.

Except those changes really changes nothing. I'm pretty sure a vast majority of students and student athletes have no idea whom all of those buildings were named after until someone got in their ear recently. Buildings, change the names, I couldn't care less, tweak the damn song, not that difficult, donating money or else, that's extortion.

No idea. I'd be good with more academic scholarships for black students, but BLM is too political. Plus, where what happens when a group BLM doesn't agree with come asking for donations. Lawsuits everywhere.

Since TH is eying another transfer wr, maybe he's not.

Same sentence for a cop that kills an innocent victim that someone gets for killing a cop. I'm guessing the sentence is life or death penalty in most cop killings depending on the situation. I have no problem with that POS in Minneapolis getting the death penalty if it's an option in Minnesota. I'm sure if Mr Floyd killed the cop with a knee to the neck for 9 minutes he would be on death row soon. I know a few fine officers so I'm definitely not anti cop, but I am for justice for all.

Guy I went to school with shot a few horses in high school. About 5 years after graduation he was a truck driver and he killed his driving partner. It wasn't more than a year or so later he killed his girlfriend and her approximately 10 year old daughter. He told the girl to run then proceeded to shot her in the back with a rifle as she ran away. I haven't read this thread but I hope to hell no one else knew a bigger piece of shit murderer than this guy.
