  1. I've said i was wrong multiple times, that he exceeded my expectations and predictions. I didn't think he would win 7, much less content for the Big 12. If saying I was incorrect and badly off on my predictions is moving goal posts, fuck man, I don't know what you want me to say.
  2. Well, I haven't moved any goal posts and I owned I was incorrect about the success I anticipated he'd see this season. Yes he's exceded what was a very low bar set by the haters. He certainly exceeded my expectations. Telenovas are popular for a reason. Ask Jackson State.. they're familiar too. Otherwise, I'm not sure where else we disagree.. (edit - the rest of the season absolutely matters. Deion has matched the positive smack of the hater's negative. To go 7-5 and end the season and also ran does not match Deion's smack. So that's an area where we disagree. I don't anticipate that, but will own I'd love the drama it would bring to the Telenovela.) He hasn't succeeded in football for 2 seasons, he's succeeded in making CU a talking point. That's good for CU, and I've never said otherwise. Will it remain the case is what's to be determined. Edit - but you're absolutely right that Jimbo is an American hero.
  3. How did Deion do the prior two seasons? You do realize this season isn't finished and 7-2 doesn't indicate a coach is great. Moreso with the prior to seasons. Celebrate, enjoy, and feel free to mock, but don't be factually incorrect. The full data points don't say the "haters" were wrong just yet. Edit - Funny but I don't recall of your CU posts prior to the arrival of Deion. I wonder why.
  4. It's not killing me at all. I was incorrect and thus far Deion has been having a suprisingly good season. Note, I said Deion not CU. I hate CU. I'm entertained by Deion and his antics. I did not expect he'd do this well. I'm owning being incorrect. Not entirely sure why you felt compelled to call me out specifically but here I am. Like I was the only one cheering for a clown show. Which we've gotten. I said from the start I'm watching the Telenovela that is Deion Sanders. That hasn't changed even a little bit. If losses come it gets more entertaining. He keeps winning a different sort of entertaining. I still don't think he's there for the long haul.
  5. There are plenty of negative things to say about Chicago, but food choices ain't one of them, neither are cultural options (museum and such you Surly assholes). Most of the negatives typically attributed to Chicago certainly don't apply to Evanston aside from shitty traffic and weather. Pittsburgh is a truly underrated city. Miami has some amazing scenery that I can't even really afford to look at much less "entertain" and some great food. There ends the positives, imo.
  6. Go to SECrant? Or try: Wildcat Lair?? Edit: Oh shit.. this is from a mod on Wildcat Lair.. it's um... well... Deeeefense Moderator Moderator Sunday at 10:04 PM #7 Texas lost to UGA, beat Vandy by 3 and just beat Arkansas by 10. They are a very talented team for sure but I don't think they are quit the juggernaut that some make them out to be. Texas is just now starting to feel what it's like to play a brutal SEC schedule where every week it's a new challenge. Kentucky has the dogs to play with the Horns, they have proven that previously in games against OM and UGA, but what is unknown is what Kentucky team will show up. They had an off week, and then coasted to an easy win over a weak appointment this past week, allowing them to give a lot of guys rest. So benefitting from that I think this game could be interesting but ONLY if we come in prepared and play with good energy and confidence, and maybe a chip on their shoulder with something to prove. Also Texas maybe looking ahead to next week when they play a mutual hate fest affair against aTm.
  7. Can believe there were morons that picked them to win the ACC... Oh, wait... Nevermind... I mean.. Yeah, delete post ban user.
  8. You're the real asshole here. I didn't need to be brought back into this thread. Start a debate with @futuremanabout the future of tamale kind. It'll be super productive. Jackass!
  9. BBQ (Texas) 38 Bourbon (KY Jelly) 17 666 combined yards
  10. Can anyone explain the prevent victory defense? It consistently fucks teams. How can the stats not dictate "don't do that dumb shit". Over and over again. I appears GT may get away with it but it will always drive me insane.
  11. Holy shit this has been a great and wild ass game. Unexpected Thursday extreme entertainment
  12. Does your son hang out on Rainey Street and despise "drunk" people while loving Chilean Sea Bass?
  13. Will the tamale talk never end... fml
  14. Holy shit, what a small world. I was not a big fan of Stabbing Westward but enjoyed their music. Never got in a car with the band but they did steal my kidney one night at Black Cat Lounge. I mean, I was completely hammered so you can't really fault them.
  15. I largely agree in broad strokes but the devil, as always, is in the details. Aileen Wuoronos (I would have never gotten that spelling correct) comes to mind. Did she have some serious mental and drug issues? Absolutely. Did she suffer some absolutely horrible childhood trauma. Absolutely. It's a complicated case but just one example where the lines between someone with drug and mental health issues is extremely blurred with calculating serial killer. Granted, it's possible a lot of the guys she killed were not wonderful humans. Doesn't matter. That's a single example but Ed Gein is another. His upbringing rivals Aileen's, debatable that it's worse.
  16. That article is really hard to get through. Fuck that cunt, I hope she actually sees time in fuck me in the ass prison. That said.. I don't think the article belong here. Sorry. Daily Texan is a more appropriate place.
  17. I worked in a mental health hospital. Without violation of privacy I can say there was essentially a life long resident there that had committed homicide. They first sent that person to prison. There were issues in the prison, relating to mental health, and they finally sent them to a psychiatric facility. On meds, they were occasionally confused, sometimes irritable, but usually extremely compliant and quiet the majority of the time. They were very sick, had to eat state food for life, never getting out, and never had visitors. I know there's sometime the idea that this is an easy out, but if you've ever met or know any truly mentally sick people, it's extremely sad. I just hope someday this country will recognize like cancer, it's a disease. It sometimes leads to tragic consequences, but... if we were more proactive and willing to fund mental health in this US, it might be less frequent for it to escalate to tragic ends. It ends well for nobody. I know this is an unpopular take, but I'm never changing my view on it. Go spend some time with some truly mentally ill folks before a final judgment.
  18. Actually, it far better that someone who has true mental illness be sent to a hospital rather than prison. That person will get medication and considerably better medical treatment than they ever would in a prison. As you noted, unlike prison, if the faculty/medical staff don't find him mentally competent, he could stay there forever. He's off the streets, getting, you know actual mental health care. I personally see this as a win. I honestly wish it happened more often.
  19. Counter point Notre Dame. They're going to get in every year if they have less than 3 losses. Schedule be damned and they'll never be in a Conference champion game. Nobody is bitching about NDs shitty Schedule, massively shitty loss, and other frankly mediocre at the eye test play. Nobody is even questioning them. They could lose another an I bet they still make it in over some far more deserving teams that potentially played in an lost a CCG. Notre Dame completely invalidates at large. They, alone, make it broken. When you add all the other perception and subjective aspects to the selection, it goes from broken to completely fucked.
  20. This, plus she has sort of an Aubrey Plaza thing going on which actually aligns well with her take which are mostly just contrary Mofo stuff. It generates clicks and debates... so.. it's working well.
  21. Not everyone views it this way. I've offered to take IU and the points to any comers multiple times. So far no takers. I'm of the opinion IU wins, but I'm a fool with money.
  22. Lol, that's a bizarre auto correct.. but I'll be the Breast's massager.
