    like Steinbrenner

    It's not like there are written rules of this game which everyone is supposedly playing.
  3. PHLaggie
    for sure! ;) :D

    Looks like 5-star DT Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy's dad and mom are moving to College Station for a new job at a local church. I wonder if their kid moves as well. He already has visited BCS once I think or was planning to visit... well, now he can visit the campus every day if he wishes! OU is supposedly the main competition for his signature... so I'm sure you guys here will appreciate it if he doesn't go there and A&M is able to vulture one away that you won't have to face in the trenches the next few years.

    Malick Sylla and Derrick Brown are both tagged as "edge" by 247. Not ideal to lose Brown, but glad to still have Sylla. So that leaves A&M hoping to get in on Wesolak (Notre Dame seems to be the main threat there although he seems pretty undecided with several big names in the race still, all across the U.S.), and an outside shot with Enai White... White has announced he is coming to A&M for an unofficial, and has 4 officials lined up with a 5th one open... Thankfully, DE is one spot A&M has several young faces on campus already, and hopefully one or two of those pan out. Missing out on Denver Harris (and Terrance Brooks) hurts the most among all the position recruiting battles.

    He is visiting Florida... may be he is trying to do a gator pose?

    you're sharp and don't miss a move! honestly though, I'm chalking up 3-stars Donovan Wilson and Justin Evans making it into the NFL as draft picks up to Terry Joseph's abilities. Of course, he also recruited and signed guys like Clifford Chattman.
  8. PHLaggie
    exactly. A&M... Safety U (in more ways than one?)... ugh. (we did get two safeties into the NFL while your current CB coach was the CB coach at A&M).
  9. PHLaggie
    it just means we're getting Denver Harris. on a more serious note, i'm not sure why A&M passed on him especially if he wanted in... he's rated 16th best corner, has good measurables. Especially if he can play corner and not safety, A&M should have been happy to have him. anybody know what's the story? grade risk? or just a bad job of managing the CB board on the part of aggie recruiters?

    the current LB coach seems like a lightweight, tbh. not sure what he brings to the table. he doesn't seem like a recruiter, hopefully he is a better teacher. if Hansford can get into NFL next year i guess i'd say the guy can coach.
  11. PHLaggie
    Hey, we'll get ourselves a Harris, dangit... might not be Denver, nor Ish, but we'll take a Martell. god knows we took another Martell...or did we? i'm forgetting now.
  12. PHLaggie
    How much do you blame that outcome on Joseph prioritizing Roney Elam and the like, versus Joseph getting to pick leftovers while at A&M?
  13. PHLaggie
    Ish Harris got a crystal ball from pepperoni this afternoon.

    To make matters even more intriguing, apparently Samford's original name upon founding was Howard. Not to be confused with Harvard. Nor with the separate university called Howard, which is in D.C.

    If he is as good on the gridiron as "Labe, Son of Nat" is in talking with women, he'll do just fine for himself on and off the field!
  16. PHLaggie
    Okay, peace out.

    so a PBS reporter is now a standard for who is a liberal?! lol what the heck is even that? Besides, anybody can shitpost on twitter in any given context. Meanwhile, you refuse to hear him talk about his liberal values that he talks on for a long time. Got it.
  18. PHLaggie
    May be I have it wrong, and am open to correction. My understanding is that DEI is basically one of the tools to implement CRT. DEI almost always starts with the assumption that a place is racist and therefore needs a DEI intervention, which is a CRT assertion.
  19. PHLaggie
    yea, so? Listen to his explanation of why he voted for Trump. He discusses it in detail with Glenn Loury in the interview I posted above. In fact, that makes it clear that he is a liberal and certainly NOT a right winger! lol His problem is with the liberals going hard Left. Believe it or not, that isn't just problematic for right wingers.

    Okay, so wouldn't it be better to provide underrepresented minorities with more educational support early on? Universal pre-K and other similar efforts seem to be interesting, I want to see how they get implemented and whether they make a difference. It would be far better to give that hand up. But CRT seems to be more interested in a hand out. Rise up underachievers instead of removing the hurdle altogether and making everyone worse off. That's what's happening in magnet schools in Boston, D.C., San Fran and likely many other cities right now-- getting rid of entrance tests because too many Asians and whites get into it and not enough "underrepresented minorities".
  21. PHLaggie
    that may be CRT's thesis, sure. But that isn't really true. If it were true, then Nigerian American immigrants would be facing far higher rates of wrongful convictions than they do; anecdotally I would think they face far less issues with law than the average American. Then again, Nigerian Americans likely have intact family structures and many other reasons why they don't run afoul of law and order. America would do better to see how that works instead of getting on the CRT bandwagon.
  22. PHLaggie
    Then, by the same token, the left wing wants to ascribe any differences in outcomes to a reductionist approach-- if they're pushing CRT, then they ascribe any and all difference in outcomes to racism. And that's simply untrue. Besides, if CRT is so esoteric as to be left to some scholarship closet, then why is UT (and A&M) hosting DEI committees and literally laying out policies that aim to hire and promote people at least partly based on race and other listed special interests? It's not just about being "race conscious" but rather it's about divisions based on race. It's to the point that sometimes one can't even differentiate between Wokes and Racists anymore:
  23. PHLaggie
    That's not true. I want to understand what is so racist in how bail works in year 2021? SOmeone else posted a link to a wiki about systemic racism in America; I at least skimmed through it and found it interesting and will read more, although am familiar with most of the points made in it (most of them are historic in nature and not how things are at present).
  24. PHLaggie
    This I can work with. My response is that how do we get America to be better? Do we continue with the liberal democracy ideas of the constitution? Or do we chuck it all and replace it with what seems to be a divisive ideology at its core. I quoted from Delgado's book on CRT, in the into itself it notes that given enough power, CRT's goal is to uproot the Western liberalism, the objectivity of science, and to get rid of constitutional justice. That seems to read more like a Marxist utopian revolution, and we ought to know better from history than to allow the idea to grow.

    Funny! lol But I wouldn't be so sure... DEI is on A&M's campus too: https://president.tamu.edu/committees-task-forces/commission-on-diversity-equity-and-inclusion/index.html
