  1. Local strip club sign. Saw it posted on FB, but here looks shopped. Funny either way (to me at least).
  2. Yes, is pretty obvious there are common places they get their bullshit, because when they get riled up, it's always a few hours after the fact, and all of the talking points are identical.
  3. Gonna take my dad and kids to a game this Saturday. Looking at Section 224 "Baseline Pavilion" and they look pretty good. Any insight if those are decent seats? Anyone got a set of 4 to sell? What's the best way to get there, park, park and ride? Will be my first time to the new stadium.
  4. I think it’s that the roommate took a photo of the note and Kash Money thinks a photograph is “forensic” evidence because he’s an unqualified idiot lackey.
  5. I thought he originally said there was a "manifesto" that could be recreated. The letter is not a manifesto just a confession of what he was going to do. I'm not going to watch the congressional circus with Kash Money, but if he really referred to a photograph of a letter as "forensic" evidence, it's just more evidence of what a dumb fucking unqualified lackey he is for that position.
  6. Wait, wtf? If the roommate said that the note existed and he saw it and threw it away that's evidence but not "forensic" evidence. This whole thing is fucky.
  7. SMU phasing out “Pony Up!” as a slogan, but keeping the Shetland Pony live mascot. This article says that phrase came to be used in 2007. I was enrolled at SMU in 2007 and had no idea, lol. I never attended a game, they were dogshit, and my undergrad OKST was my sports focus. Why would a new phrase come into existence at a time when attendance was in the dozens? Seems odd that alumni would be so attached to such a recent thing but there’s some pushback to keep the slogan. If anyone has a subscription to DMN I wonder if that article has more details (link below). The following is from Chron.com which I suspect might be more sarcastic than DMN would be. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/smu-mustangs/2025/09/16/smu-is-phasing-out-its-pony-up-catchphrase-and-leadership-is-surprised-by-the-reaction/ https://www.chron.com/sports/college/article/smu-kick-em-stangs-21051677.php SMU doesn't want to 'Pony Up,' anymore, it wants to 'Kick 'em' Southern Methodist University wants you to know it's all grown up now. By Leah Vann, Sports Culture ReporterSep 17, 2025 SMU wants to get off the 'Pony Up,' rally cry. Instead, Board of Trustees Chair David Miller wants to ride with something like "Kick 'Em Stangs," because it's got to be compatible with other Texas Power 4 clique members: Hook 'Em, Gig 'Em, Wreck 'Em and Sic 'Em. "We're SMU Mustangs," Miller told the Dallas Morning News. "We're not SMU Ponies." The 'Pony Up,' rally cry, according to the school's website, is often accompanied by the "pony ears" gesture, a modified peace sign where you relax your finger to look like pony ears. The phrase has been part of the SMU culture since 2007. But where Miller's statement gets hazy is the fact that SMU is... of both Pony and Mustang lineage. Peruna, the SMU mascot since 1932, is a black Shetland pony known for its feisty stallion personality. According to SMU's The Daily Campus newspaper, Peruna I was donated by a local racetrack owner who felt the powerhouse pony embodied SMU. From there, the school's students decided that the school would take on the "Mustangs," as its official mascot, since the wild horse had the physical embodiment of a "petite pony." Shetland ponies are a special Scottish breed of pony that has short legs and is very strong. They were especially helpful for riding, driving and packing purposes back in the old days But now, they're more frequently cute miniature horses ridden by small children or appearing as a 'Lil Sebastian' at the petting zoo. (If you haven't seen Parks and Rec, look it up.) Peruna is small, strong, wild and, honestly, adorable. But that's not exactly what football players (or athletes) want to be known for. According to Miller, both head football coach Rhett Lashlee and head basketball coach Andy Enfield agreed that the image they want to portray to recruits is "not that of a pony, but of wild charging mustangs." It's really just a technicality, but SMU, since joining the Atlantic Coast Conference, is the only Power 4 conference team with the Mustang mascot. The change also comes as an hour-long documentary about SMU football's program rebuild from the NCAA's "death penalty" called, "Thunder On: Resurgence of the SMU Mustangs," premieres at 2 p.m. Sunday on ESPN. SMU Athletic Director Damon Evans even used #ThunderOn, as a way to market yet another new phrase. Meanwhile, the football team wore 'Kick 'Em, Stangs,' shirts to Saturday's game at Missouri State. Nevertheless, it seems SMU is having an identity crisis. But Lashlee maybe underestimated the amount of backlash the program would get for trying to phase out, 'Pony Up.' "We love our fans, and we love passionate fans, and if you say, 'Pony Up' to me, I’m going to freaking say, 'Pony Up' back. And if you say, 'Go Mustangs,' I’m gonna say, 'Go Mustangs.' And if you say, 'Kick 'Em, Stangs,' I’m going to kick something.'"
  8. I’m not ready to go full conspiracy theory but goddamn that does read fake as fuck. If they plea him out to avoid the death penalty and no trial occurs to test the evidence they’re putting out there, and if the narrative is all from the FBI and Utah officials, it’s going to be suspicious af.
  9. Seriously, it’s not going to happen when the president and his party are all in on this stuff and half the country voted for it three fucking times. It can’t be that the other “side” lowers the temperature and lets this run them over. So what’s the solution? The answer is there is none.
  10. Way classier than that aggy sec shit.
  11. Was there nothing in the charging documents or press conference about the bullet casings? I still think there’s something missing about the online world this guy and his roommate lived in that doesn’t fit cleanly within any common political narrative. Do they even need to prove a clean motive? Seems those texts once authenticated are the slam dunk for conviction.
  12. The stuff on the bullet casings was clear that we're dealing with some weird online shit that's beyond my comprehension. I disagree that targeting Kirk was "not political" especially after characterizing Robinson as "alt-right." Kirk's persona was purely political and while it may not have been "political" in the way us normies think there was a reason they targeted him specifically, likely along the lines of Fuentes' beef, but even "he's a bitch" from that world would almost certainly have some political slant to it within this strange alt-right world. I'm nevertheless still skeptical that the roomate was "trans" anything, probably just another weirdo familiar with this online world. I think it's almost certain that this was not a leftist in love with a trangendred person who shot Kirk for saying mean things about transgendered people. That story would have definitely been confirmed by now, if not by the FBI, by journalists just asking questions. This is some strange online world that appears to have roots in some form of alt-right atmosphere that I just don't understand and probably never will.
  13. The FBI spoke to the dad and the roommate but didn't discover this bombshell motive? Yeah, okay, sure. FBI: “So you say your son disliked the victim, can you think of a reason why?” Dad: “No idea. Maybe talk to his roommate? Warning though, he’s transgender and they’re both kind of sensitive about it.” FBI: “Hey Lou, did the victim ever say anything about trans people.” Lou: “I don’t think so, Chief.” FBI: “Sir, what your son does in his personal life is none of my business.”
  14. Maybe it was a magic loogie?
  15. Pretty much every large district in the state issued a very similar statement.
  16. He already said he thinks those things he said were valid, so he agrees they are good points. That's all you need to know about his thought on this topic.
  17. I thought the Monday Night double headers were on Week 1. Seems random on Week 2.
  18. Is that the nard oil guy?
  19. It's Utah, isn't there a pretty solid precedent for something like that?
  20. More proof that “unity” and “coming together” means forcing others to comply with right wing beliefs. There is no “both sides” equivalent to this shit, none whatsoever. Thanks to Tulsa Public Schools for their response although it’s going to be another massive shit show. The TPS superintendent is a Black woman but last time Walter’s went after her she was charming enough that the legislature quietly got him to back down. Hopefully that’s what happens here and we won’t hear anything else, but it’s highly doubtful.
  21. The part that really sticks out to me is that the report at the time he was identified said that the FBI had spoken to the dad and to the roommate, and that the roommate showed the FBI the Discord server that showed the perp talking about the gun (or something to that effect). If the roommate was trans and a romantic partner to the shooter, and the motiviation was in support of the trans lover/roommate, why would that person cooperate with the FBI to get him caught? Why didn't the initial report indicate this pretty key peice of evidence re motive? It really does not add up, at all, especially since it's obvious what the administration would prefer with respect to motive. If they had evidence of this connection, the FBI would have had a full dog and pony show about it by now.
  22. These fucks have two Lombardi's in recent memory. They have no idea what true hate for your own franchise means.
  23. Haha fuck the giants. This team sucks so bad.
  24. Holy shit that happens every play. Whatever.
