    Bullshit. Look at the illegals voting in elections thread to see texashammer get reamed and accused of being a liar, Johnny Sack shot in whenever he posts and even Anasatasis gets mocked stupidly with the “both sides” bs. The dynamic here sucks. My views might not be popular with the cabal here but I at least explain my thoughts and do not lash out others unless attacked myself. Stupid one liners that add nothing like what David Dennison should catch flak but he sits at the cool kids table here an$ gets away with it.

     

    TexasHammer is a lying idiot who can't read. Referencing that thread just destroys any credibility in this argument. Johnny Sack has become a hit-and-run poster because he can't let go of his Go Team Go loyalties even though in his heart he realizes the GOP is full of shit. In the end he's mocked because the only thing he cares about when it comes to politics is his bank account. Your Anastasis argument is irrelevant because you're claiming only right-wingers get blasted but then point out that a guy who explicitly isn't a right-winger gets blasted.

     

    You are correct, though, that Dennison is a shit poster.

     

    I'm a conservative and almost never get negged or blasted on here except by GOP loyalists. The truth regarding the current political climate is far from what you wish to believe.

  2. Hypothesis: Centrism is the cause of our current political situation. This is because when there are two sides to every issue it makes long term strategic sense to go more extreme in your views if you are committed to one side. By doing so, the "center" moves closer to your initial position. Therefore in the long run public opinion gradually moves toward your actual desires as millions of Americans scramble to adjust so they can tell all their buddies they're centrist and independent. So the correct play for both sides is to get nuttier.

    And I hate to break it to y'all, but bad_teammate is schooling some of you on this thread. Nobody has defined centrism yet. Agreeing with one side on some stuff and the other side on other stuff doesn't make you centrist, it merely means you don't fully agree with either party (it is closer to making you independent than centrist). Being willing to compromise doesn't make you centrist, it merely means you care more about some of your opinions than others.

    So ESPN has the aggies ranked higher than any of the other services?

    How will they justify this in their heads that is is the same "ESPiN" that is controlled by the sips due to the LHN?

     

    Come on man. Lack of evidence of the conspiracy is evidence of the conspiracy. Tin foil hat 101.

    I think they finished top 4 in 1956.  Their second and last top 4 finish 

    Nope, #5 in both polls.

    Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Northwestern are the only three power 5 schools not to finish in the top/final 4 in any of football, basketball, or baseball since WWII.

    Huck is going to LOVE this shit...

    It's obvious their "ranking" of these transfers has a large, large component of age/experience. That's the only reason Buechele would be ahead of rising. 

    I hate it almost as much as I hate HenryJames. So fucking absurd to re-rate players they haven't seen perform recently, in some cases in years. Although I'm thinking they might just be using their original high school rating for most of those guys. Rising was an 86 in high school and is an 86 here.

    Buechele was a 90 in high school and is an 88 here, with the drop unfortunately being fair based on college performance.

    But Rising showed me more in the spring game than I'd seen from Buechele. I would certainly imagine that Rising would have had more interested teams than Buechele if they each talked to every team.

    SIAP. 247 has started ranking transfers now. For now, they've only ranked the top 50.

    https://247sports.com/college/texas/Article/College-football-transfer-rankings-128478942/

    Buechele is 27th, Rising is 48th. Starkel is 41st. Jonah Jackson, the OL from Rutgers, is 3rd. Parker Braun, the OL from Georgia Tech, is 7th. Richmond, the OL from Tennessee, is 49th.

    Love how they keep twisting the knife on Bru McCoy being in our recruiting ranking. Hahaha.

    Physical talent with a lot of red flags, who is equally likely to be a star as a bust.

    Shepherd is nowhere near where Robinson was as a physical prospect. That's not ripping on Shepherd, he has decent enough potential, just pointing out that he's closer to where Hardreck Walker was than where A'Shawn Robinson was as a recruit.

  8. Are you under the impression that medical science doesn't dissect and examine thousands of "normal" human brains each year? I figured they always have and still do and that the CTE brains are analyzed against that baseline.

    Was that in 1995, when Jason Reeves had a late INT to seal the game (the random shit I remember)?  I don't really remember that game being hot, but pretty sloppy with both QB's throwing multiple picks.

    It was hot as fuck if you were in the sun and on the bleachers. The official box score says game time temp of 89 and partly cloudy but that's not the real story. As we all know, it gets hotter toward 5:00 and the heat index was over 100 with basically no breeze at all where we were for most of the game. Girlfriend (now wife, no pics, also born and raised in Austin so used to heat) made us leave the game early to head back to my dorm room because she was overheating, but it worked out.

    You know, the team won I mean.

    For one, "M4A is untenable / un-workable". 

    Reasonable Immigration reform, but not insane ideas on either side of the spectrum.

    A heart for poor people and outrageous costs of schools and real estate, but nothing insane like free college for all and raise taxes for free apartments or whatever else insane people want.

    Also, reasonable gun reform. Nothing to insane from the left while still acknowledging some small/incremental changes should be made.

    Also, I get the feeling that he can only do better for climate/environment, though I admit I don't want him pushing too hard the other way for business reasons.

    Unsurprisingly, you answered a request to list some ideas by not listing a single actual policy proposal or idea. Just mindless platitudes.
