I would love to have been the judge in that case just to be able to say: ”The President of the United States isn’t good enough.”

Any updates on the lawsuit? Latest I've seen is dated last October.

Expect any different? He’s the fucking poster child of the Dunning Kruger effect, which is a characteristic symptom of his pathetically incurable case of narcissism. He’s incapable of admitting to any significant error of his “logic,” which also means he’s incapable of correcting same. He would rather climb up a tree to tell a lie than stand on the ground to tell the truth.

I mean I’ve seen quite a few baseball players strike out before. I’ve seen quite a few hit home runs and start strutting around in celebration of same. But striking out that badly and strutting around as if a home run was hit? That’s an art that only brainless shitheads like Sidney Powell could master. Got a thing for the clap?

Hasn’t changed. And yeah it’s really kid friendly especially the little water park at the end

Will never forget it. I was 8. Had a soccer game that morning (we won 3-1). Dad literally picked me up off the field not even after the ending whistle finished echoing to stuff me into his 1990 silver Cadillac DeVille, took me home to change into UT gear, got back into the car and we whizzed quickly over to the fair (secret pathway). I’m about to attend my 30th consecutive TX-OU game this coming October.

12 years ago…

Yeah, I agree with this as well. I have the same take on this that Jim Cornette had on ECW. "Oh great, I just fuckin' fractured my suprailiac, broke my fuckin' leg and shoved a fuckin' wooden spike up my taint, and they're not chanting "Jim Jim Jim," they're chanting' ECW?! Fuckin' stupid!"

Being in the SEC will have 0 bearing on that either way.

And society in general.

Fucking lollygagger.

It's an extension of the Carl Sandburg principle: "If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table."

Wait til they hear what’s actually in the Epic of Gilgamesh

Then go back to the 8-team model and start with the CCG's of the P4. I get that the SEC probably wouldn't like that, but what other conferences are going to be pissed off about that?

They'll likely wind up in the AAC alongside Baylor, rejoining SMU and Houston from the old SWC days.

Gee I wonder why they'd do such a thing.

Goddamnit I was thinking that too Edit: and honestly I think she mutilated herself to give life to all sorts of conspiracies: ancient aliens, flat earth, young earth creationism, Satan, etc.

My dear sir, you are obviously mistaken. We as fans are entitled to gold medal performances and only gold medal performances regardless of circumstance, and if you cannot keep up with the mental toughness that empowers me to type this sternly worded post on an internet forum, then I'm afraid that you just have no idea what it takes to be a gold medal winner.

While I agree with the general sentiment, there actually was one such year: 1994. In 1994, they finished 4th, 6th, and 7th. Miami played against the eventual national champion Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, Florida was the preseason #1, and FSU was the defending national champion. FSU's lone loss of that season was, in fact, Miami and of course there was also that famous Choke at the Doak tie with Florida. But yes, you're generally correct. While we were treated to some top-ranked showdowns at the end of the year between the Noles and Gators in the mid-90's, finding such showdowns in other states in other eras is really hard. In fact you can literally count the number of such showdowns between Texas and aggy on one hand. Same goes for the Iron Bowl, same goes for the Apple Cup, Civil War, etc. Those are hard to come by, I absolutely agree.

The effects of the DP were hardly visible at the time as SMU was serving a self-imposed 1-year ban the year after it had received the DP. In fact those effects weren't going to be seen visibly for about a generation or so when people started to realize that shit wasn't going to get better for them for a long time. Anyways, Jackie Sherrill's actions, while tremendously stupid, was the only major infraction that he committed. A&M was, therefore, not even eligible to be considered for the death penalty. As a matter of fact, the formal rule is called the "repeat violator rule," which A&M was not subject to as they'd not been previously busted with major NCAA infractions of a similar nature in the preceding 5 years.

Temple is public too.

I stand corrected on that.

Exactly. Anyone who seriously believes Texas had anything to do whatsoever for the SWC’s demise is using circular reasoning to argue backwards to an assumed conclusion. It’s a form of self-deception, if you think about it. There was an article on ESPN not long ago about this and it also spelled out the TV share in this way: elite conferences can deal with having 1 or 2 private schools. That’s fine. When the SWC broke up: The PAC 10 had 2 private schools (Stanford, USC) The SEC had 1 (Vandy) The Big 10 had 2 (Purdue and Northwestern) The ACC had 2 (Duke and Wake Forest) The Big East had 2 (Miami and BC) The SWC had 4 public (Texas, A&M, Tech and Houston) and 4 private (Baylor, Rice, SMU, TCU). That’s an unsustainable model, and it’s one of the big reasons it died. The series of probations levied by the NCAA against several SWC schools in the 80’s didn’t help, the death penalty of SMU even less so, etc. When you make a conference’s existence almost entirely dependent on two of its members, you’ve got yourself a shit conference. Would the PAC 12 survive if USC and UCLA left? Probably Would the SEC survive if Alabama and LSU left? Maybe but that would be devastating Would the B1G survive if Ohio State and Michigan left? I really don’t think so, but they’ve been far more proactive in expanding the conference to mitigate that reality in the past decade than the fucking Big 12 has (and let’s face it, those two aren’t going anywhere). Would the ACC survive if Clemson and Florida State left? See SEC Some are arguable, but the SWC and Big 12 were not arguable. The SWC needed Texas and A&M to survive. The Big 12 needed Texas and Oklahoma to survive. When that happens, you don’t blame half of the teams in he conference depends on for survival; you blame the conference for depending on them in the first place.
