  1. It seems strange to not be able to pull at Top 5 class when we have a lot going for us at this point. 2 straight years in the playoffs, NIL/$ like other top schools, in the SEC, Arch Manning Era about to begin, developing multiple NFL draft picks at numerous positions. You watch Ohio State, Georgia and Alabama pull in top 5 classes year after year, so I am surprised more kids aren't picking us. Not that we should get everyone, but Texas should be getting enough kids for a Top 5 class pretty easily every year at this point unless the wheels fall off the program.
  2. I don’t know about you guys but I’m starting to think that maybe Trump is a pedophile and rapist based on these reports. I know, it’s crazy to even think that’s a possibility. Just getting that feeling it could be true.
  3. All this talk about camp and all I can think of is this.
  4. This right here is the truth. It’s easy to say they are all racists just like it’s easy to say all democrats are woke or whatever. If we all take a step back we would see that the truth is in the gray areas of this. The manipulation of the population of this country by the media (Fox News and social media like Facebook), and the way the algorithms work to make sure people just see their bubble of news has affected non racist, intelligent people in a way we may not be happy to admit happened. I think the left gets this also but from maybe MSNBC or other media outlets that distort the world for them (not as bad as the right does but it is there). Many of the people of this country have lost the ability for critical thinking and that is what makes them so gullible to these news sites/social media sites. What is strange is many have the ability for critical thought in other aspects of their life, like their work, but lose it once they view the world outside through the lens of a Fox New broadcast.
  5. I don’t think I’ll ever get over Macho Grande.
  6. I nominate Krush Groove. Maybe not a total biopic but tells the story of the early days of Def Jam Records. Starring Run DMC, Fat Boys, Shiela E, Kurtis Blow, New Edition, and some cameos by LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys.
  7. 50 years later and I’m still terrified of swimming in the ocean and sharks. Thanks Spielberg.
  8. I really hope, if we ever get another President, the first thing that person does is rip those flag poles out of the ground in a public ceremony, melt them down and mold them into statues of Obama and Biden and then place them exactly where those flag poles were. Extra points if Trump is still alive to watch it.
  9. Not sure what this means but guessing it shows that Urban Meyer will be our new football coach.
  10. In the past when this happened the police usually found the suspect and when cornered the coward would shoot himself. Now, the coward will just wait for Trump to pardon him. MAGA turned this country into a great place, huh?
  11. You can hang the flag upside down like a Supreme Court justice would do.
  12. It’s about fucking time they passed something like this. Now all the troubles of this state, dare I say the world will be solved. Can’t wait for the Texas law saying you have to pray to Jesus before your food is served at a restaurant or you get arrested.
  13. Tanner would actually fit in well with the current administration.
  14. Tanner always seemed like he would end up in the textile mills.
  15. Can we fly a banner over the families house that says, ”you may have gotten a million dollars but that dumb cunt is still dead”.
  16. Bumping this thread. I have to go to Honolulu in 2 weeks for a business trip with like 20 clients. It's only for 2 days and we have to stay on Waikiki beach at the Sheraton. Any good local places to eat (both fancy and local stuff like Poke)? I figure we can do Pearl Harbor. Any other recs? I am renting a car but not sure if I need it.
  17. This is exactly correct. My son's college age friends come around and sometimes we end up talking politics. These are smart kids and are a mix of races and religions (African American, Hispanic, Indian, Korean, Jewish, etc...) and many of them site things they see on the internet as truth when it's just right-wing propaganda. Good kids but they have zero clue what they are talking about but believe it's the truth. Some of these kids voted for Trump for this reason and it is crazy and quite sad. The public education system in this country has failed us (done on purpose by the GOP to keep the rubes in line).
  18. Guessing this screws Tesla/Musk in the European markets
  19. Is this your glass half empty or glass half full view? The truth is we may be just a few years away from a Jim Jones Kool Aid incident that takes out half the country.
  20. You know, I don't know what everyone else on this board thinks, but I am starting to think you aren't much of an optimist.
  21. And its down again.
  22. Feeling a little bit lucky when it comes to my 401K. My company was sold last week to another company so I am in the process of rolling my entire 401K to a personal account meaning I took it out last week. I haven’t gotten the money yet to move to my personal account so I basically avoided the shit show of that last few days. Now as far as my other investments, yeah they got destroyed just like everybody else.
  23. Look at the bright side. When the next pandemic hits we will have so little resources put into the CDC, vaccines, healthcare, science, etc... that there is a good chance most of us will be killed by the next virus. So, we got that going for us... which is nice.
