2019 Astros WS Game 7 1984 Cotton Bowl vs. Georgia 2011 National Championship vs. Alabama 1980 Astros NLCS Game 5 1986 Astros NLCS Game 6 "The Immaculate Reception"- Trump Impeachment 2: Insurrection Boogaloo
It means- it speaks for itself. Throws the burden on the defense to show Trump's words didn't incite the violence at the Capitol.- Band of Brothers
I believe this is why "The Pacific" isn't as highly regarded as "Band of Brothers". BOB had better and more likeable characters (the closest Pacific could muster is John Basilone). Warfare in the Pacific was such a meat grinder. D-Day and Bastogne seem to merge on Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo, Okinawa, and dozens of other atolls. Month after month. Again and again. The Pacific seemed like a 10-part series of hell on Earth.- To Cancel or Not To Cancel
Had her views not been aligned with his, Ted Cruz would have told her to "shut up and dribble protect the Child."- Trump Impeachment 2: Insurrection Boogaloo
It wasn't Roberts' choice. There's no obligation to use him since DJT is no longer President. Besides, he wasn't asked or didn't make a single, significant ruling during "Impeachment Boogaloo One", so I expect he'd have been even more useless this time.- Trump Impeachment 2: Insurrection Boogaloo
I was riding the fence on "just moving on" until I thought back to the progress of events, including those in Michigan. The takeover of the capitol building in Lansing, the plot to kidnap and murder the Governor, and Trump urging on his minions with tweets such as "Liberate Michigan" - that was just a trial balloon. Michigan should have been the line in the sand. Instead, it went unchecked, escalated to the U.S. Capitol, and if something isn't done now, God knows where it goes or what happens next.- Astros 2020-21 offseason- can't be any worse than last year, right? RIGHT?

Stripped of assignments. Good stuff.- Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body in Congress? Oh you mean Marjorie!
I'm stealing this. Thanks.- Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Had my second shot on Saturday morning and I came home and slept all weekend. No fever. No aches. No nausea. Just completely wiped out, exhausted. Glad I did it at the start of a weekend because I could not keep my eyes open.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
Did you run into any of the Weddell/La Marque teams during the early-90s?- The Wizard
I seem to recall Vin Scully or Jack Buck having just finished saying something like "Ozzy Smith has never homered left handed." Several years later Ozzy was in Houston and rumored to be speaking to the Astros during free agency. It was my off day but my boss (Bob Allen) made me drive around with our sports photographer to see if we could get video of an alleged meeting. We followed him from the airport and around town, wound up sitting at the bar in a restaurant watching him eat lunch. When he was done he came over to the bar, asked us if we were "local", and told us we were too conspicuous. I did get his autograph out of it though.- Lauren Boobert - Tits and a Gun
Her spokesperson took a hike a week or so ago.- Realignment talk not going away
Fuck Missouri. They made their beds. Never.- COVID-19 vaccine discussion
Excellent. Thank you. Glad it was already out there.- Most surprising thing from Trump era.
I believe the angriest I may have been was when he pulled support for the Kurds and allies that had just defeated ISIS in Syria, leaving them in no-man's land against the Turks. To me his biggest disgrace was the surrender of Afghanistan. In his haste to be able to say he fulfilled a campaign promise he completely surrendered to the Taliban.- COVID-19 vaccine discussion
I can't believe that no one has posted this New Yorker article from two weeks ago. THE PLAGUE YEAR It's a great summary and timetable of events of 2020. Infuriating and frustrating, but informative. It's a long read and puts everything in great detail, but well worth your time. Someone said earlier in the thread, but if you or your parents are eligible to be vaccinated, be persistent, keep trying, do whatever it takes, it will happen. I was able to get vaccinated at a small family clinic on the 2nd and I go back for round two on the 30th. They gave me the number for an affiliated facility and I was able to get my parents vaccinated 10-days later. Keep trying. Show up and tell them you'll wait for a no-show. Don't take "no" for an answer. Read the article. No. Because (apparently) the formula for this vaccine is completely different and most of the heavy lifting had been done as early as 2013. Moderna's messenger-RNA delivery platform worked, but they had never brought a vaccine to market. In 2013 structure based vaccine design was developed, but MERS faded and funding went away before it could be tested on humans. Once the Chinese posted the genomic sequence the same group could design the proteins to defeat this coronavirus and to be fitted on the messenger RNA. Then they turned it over to Moderna for manufacturing. As Coach Royal would say, "it's where preparation met opportunity".- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread

Same for Philmont. Been twice now, as a Scout and with my son, and I'm going back this summer with my daughter. Caprock was a great shake out hike for Philmont. I also recommend the boundary trail at Buffalo Trail, outside Balmorhea.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
The fans were ready for a fight. Literally. The team, not so much. There was a bar in downtown Lincoln, I believe it was Sandy's. Our first trip there I got thrown out for reaching behind the bar to grab a bar towel. Every trip to Lincoln afterwards we went to Sandy's and for good luck I would do something to get thrown out. By 2010, I was just walking up to the bouncer and asking him to toss me a la Gene Hackman in "Hoosiers".- RIP Don Sutton
I was on the tail end of a west coast road trip with my a buddy and his brother. I had dropped out of UT summer school, emptied my bank account, and we went west to visit as many ballparks as we could. Happened to be in Anaheim and see him win his 300th.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
On the walk back to the tailgate after the game all I heard was how they were going to our ass in the Big 12 Championship Game. Silly fools. You said it. Much more unbearable than usual. The contrast between our first trip there and our last was night and day. It gives me great joy knowing how much that fan base has suffered over the past decade.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I was there in 2006. Driving sleet and fog. It was amazing. But, I believe 2010 was my favorite trip to Lincoln. They were ready to eat us alive and Garrett Gilbert had his finest hour as a Longhorn and we dominated them with what was likely the worst team Mack Brown took to Lincoln.- RIP Don Sutton
324 wins, including 58 shutouts. The seventh most strikeouts in MLB history (3,574). National Baseball Hall of Fame, 1998. Dodger uniforms are going to be crowded this season. - What was your most heart breaking moment as a sports fan?
