  1. Embraer Phenom 100 (Tail No. N504TX) owned by the State of TX took off for flight from Austin to Houston right around the time Sark posted pics in question.
  2. I had honestly not seen any bonafide Bijan hate until this article by hater Daniel Kelly, which was in comments to the PFF tweet above . Said hater lost any shred of credibility when I saw he was a former NFL scout....for the Jets...and his assessment is that Bijan is second-round talent that "lacks any elite traits that allows backs to create yardage" and "is not elusive enough." A few (of the many) other WTF-worthy excerpts:
  3. AD Mitchell showing up to his Texas visit:
  4. The title and past contents of this thread doesn't even crack T50 in the surly hall of regardedness and terrible takes.
  5. Correct, according to this article: "Calipari's contract states that if the University terminates his deal then the University must pay a lofty guarantee," 247Sports wrote. "However, if Calipari voluntarily leaves, his contract states that he must give the University notice but there is no mention of a buyout or any 'liquidated damages' that he or a bidding employer must pay.
  6. Have posted this trick upthread as well but, skirting paywalls for articles on The Athletic and others (e.g., ESPN+) is as simple as (1) going to Archive.ph, (2) dropping in the URL of the article, (3) hitting "save" and (4) waiting for it to process. Here's a copy-paste of the article you wanted:
  7. So, reading between the lines....you're telling me there's a scenario?!
  8. Full article below. And pro tip for anyone who similarly unsubscribed from The Athletic when they decided to partner with Looch: go to Archive.ph, drop in the URL of the article, hit "save" and let it do its thing. Also works for other paywalled articles (ESPN+ etc.).
  9. That's rough, definitely sympathize. Not sure whether the book is closed on the matter but, if there's still a window, it might be worth doing your best to raise a shitstorm with shot callers within the admin faculty and exerting what influence you may have among past teachers and other parents that may be plugged in and have some political influence at the school. And if your son had a clean reputation/record prior to this, that should be leaned on heavily, as should calling into question whether the punishments beyond the bad grade itself (the club and citizenship stuff) are really fair and necessary tools for teaching what lesson is trying to be taught. Sounds like your son's HS is a private (as was mine), which I think are generally more open to considering the totally of a kid's situation and past behavior and subject to pressure/influence in this sort of situation. In my case, those things changed the outcome drastically. Anyways, last derail from me in this thread but feel free to DM me. Back to the regularly scheduled sideshow of CCB debates that will surely be resolved.
  10. Happened to me second semester of senior year of HS. Turnitin.com software determined that the entirety of my (rather long) paper had something like 3-5 sentences that shared some degree of similarity (want to say 40-60%) with those of public sources. Genuinely did not intend to plagiarize, best guess is I read a ton of stuff about the subject matter online and, through simple osmosis, similar ideas and/or phrasing made their way into a few spots of my paper. Anyways, teacher was a hardass and tried to flunk me. Only through strong backlash of my parents and other teachers did he end up conceding (gave me a C-). Went on to be a corporate lawyer. So I'm paid to write and half the job involves taking agreements from past deals and tweaking portions to work for the current deal - i.e., plagiarism. Maybe that tale could serve as reason for optimism (or despair, depending on your perspective) for your son!
  11. It's hyperbolic for emphasis, but equally absurd to taking the position that there is literally no potential audio recording that could exonerate.
  12. Fiancée: "Chris, it has been over three years. If you don't commit right fucking now that we will go to the courthouse tomorrow and make it official, I sweater god I will send you to the courthouse myself. You want to know how? First, I'm going to beat the shit out of you best I can. Then, I'm going to call the cops while I proceed to rough myself up. When they get here, I will show them the marks and explain my version of what is about to happen - let the whole world know you're a piece of shit woman abuser. I will drag your name through the mud with everyone we know, your family, and every media outlet that will listen. I will tell the court that you are unfit to be around your teenage daughter, and apply to be her guardian. I will ruin your your career, your relationships, everything I possibly can. You will lose everything." Beard: "K. You are literally insane." Fiancée: "Last chance. I am dead serious, you muledick. [locks door behind her]." Beard: "No." [tumbling/screaming ensues]
  13. Keep in mind I am not even speaking to my view on Beard's culpability or what course of action UT should take here, a few things seemed in the police report caught my attention: She provided detailed testimony on how every injury could have logically occurred, other than the bite (though this may be covered in text that got cut off). The bite was to her right forearm, and the abrasion to her right eye/temple. Bites are more typically viewed as a defensive tactic. Assuming the purported recording exists, Chris has either bugged his own house or had reason to manually prompt a recording on his phone (or some other device).
  14. All this time and Canada STILL hasn’t fixed their internet infrastructure?! Embarrassing.
  15. If you view Wyoming as a genuine comparison for that point/argument, and think Nebraska does not have the history and (theoretical) potential to build back a program of current tOSU-esque caliber, I think we are too far apart on foundational things here to have a worthwhile discussion.
  16. I thought to make note of that in my last post expecting someone would bring that up as if it totally dismisses the possibility. A perennially contending Nebraska led by Matt Rhule would almost surely make poaching TX a focus (along with other national hotbeds).
  17. Nebraska is different for many reasons. One being the fact that they used to have notable success poaching TX talent. For example, they took 29 TX recruits between 2007 and 2010. There's plenty of competition as it is both in and out of state, so let's not support the Huskers rebuilding a platform that would let them restart the tradition. Fuck 'em. If you want parity, root for Minnesota, Pitt, Miami or a slew of others we dgaf about to build a contender.
  18. Excerpt from this article: "In its response, the UT System also pledged that SFA’s name, mascot, colors, logos and all identifiers and traditions would remain."
  19. In b4 rumors of X cucking Sark
  20. From the Sugar Bowl website: The Allstate Sugar Bowl will host the champions of the SEC and the Big 12 unless either or both of those champions are selected for the College Football Playoff. If either of the champions do qualify for the playoff, another highly-ranked representative from the conference(s) will play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. In the case of the SEC, the replacement team would be the top-ranked non-playoff team. In the case of the Big 12, the replacement team would be the next non-playoff team with the best record in the regular-season standings.
