  1. Dammit, now I need a new keyboard...
  2. I wouldn't consider it an upset.
  3. I regret that I only have one Fuck You emoji to give to your sorry POS ass.
  4. No motherfucker, you can fuck right off...especially with this comment: "Your uncle should have sat you on his knee to explain that needlessly offending people is a bad thing perpetrated by dickheads." We didn't have time to offend people. We we were working our asses off in the field sunup to sundown. Sorry if your pampered life sheltered you from what real, hard-working farming people have to do to survive so you can sit back and accuse us all of being racists. Seriously, you have no fucking clue.
  5. Get out of here with your sanctimonious bullshit and missing my point entirely. The point is...cotton should not be automatically associated with racism, and it's absurd that that's what it has become. Guess what...just as many tobacco plantations had slave labor, but why don't we automatically associate tobacco with racism? It's not my fault you are too stupid to understand the point I was making.
  6. I went to the SMU-Miami game this year. UM had a sizeable crowd. And to a person, they reminded me of NFL goon fans. A few rows in front of me was this guy. Yes, you are seeing that correctly...he's wearing UM wide receiver gloves. He was, without a doubt, one of the most absurd fans I think I've ever encountered. 50 something years old and he was acting like a dumbass teenager the whole game. Total douche, gloves and all. And yet, I hope he is Collie Station tomorrow, and I hope his team obliterates aggy.
  7. I met the real Rudy around 1995 or 1996. He was very outgoing, warm, and genuine to me...and I was just a 22/23 year-old nobody.
  8. A lot of things have historical racial connections, but in the past 10 years or so just the word cotton has become absolutely taboo, which is absurd. Slaves were shipped by trains and barges back in the 19th century as well...that doesn't mean we now associate trains and barges with the slave trade. Not everyone who grew cotton in the 19th century was a rich plantation owner with slaves in the deep South. A lot of Texas family cotton farms (mine included) were worked solely by the family. That's why my great great grandparents had like 11 children...they needed that labor supply.
  9. Tickets sold (including student seating allotment paid for by student activity fees), not actual butts in seats.
  10. Hmm, as a white boy who worked every summer on my uncle's cotton farms chopping (hoeing) cotton, cultivating, spraying johnson grass, prepping the stripper, etc., I always laugh when people want to talk about racial overtones connected to cotton. There was no racial privilege when it came to working the cotton fields I had to work. People who have turned cotton farming into a race thing are just morons, in my humble, calloused hands opinion.
  11. Back in the original Big XII days, the BCS ranking was one of the tiebreakers if there was a 3-way tie in a division. I believe that's how OU got to go to the CCG in 2008 when you had the 3-way tie between OU, UT, and Tech. Someone feel free to check my work on that, but I'm pretty certain that was the tiebreaker.
  12. This is why more and more colleges are going to the General Manager model. At Tech, Joey and his coaches can concentrate on game prep while James Blanchard and his team handle all the recruiting, transfer portal, NIL, etc. business. In addition, Joey has Antonio Huffman and his team to handle all the administrative chores that aren't part of recruiting, transfer portal, NIL, etc. Take a look at just the support staff, and look at their job titles: https://texastech.com/sports/football/coaches
  13. No, we have a strict no halitosis policy.
  14. Somewhere I have a picture of two Longhorns at the Holiday bowl a few rows in front of me with one hand doing Hook 'em and the other hand doing Guns Up. That was a fun night. Then the next day while we were visiting the San Diego Zoo, every Longhorn fan who was there came up to thank me (I was wearing Tech hat and shirt) for the previous night's drubbing of Cal. I don't think there has ever been a time, before or since, where UT and Tech fans had such solidarity.
  15. This is why I've always hated aTm and just got perturbed with UT.
