  1. Rumors swirling that Micah Hudson may already be on the outs. IF true, that didn't take long.
  2. 10000%. But it was a Screaming Viking, not a Flaming Viking.

    Andy Garcia is in the house! Andy Garcia is perfect for this role! Absolutely perfect. I hope TS doesn’t fuck up the storyline with Andy’s character. There is some great potential for the interactions between him and BBT.
  4. 1. Do the damn prep. It's not that bad, and it will give you a great cleaning out, which isn't a bad thing. But most importantly is you want to do the fasting and prep just this one time, and if you don't do the prep completely and as prescribed, odds are you'll have to try again. 2. I would STRONGLY recommend that if you don't have a handheld shower head, make the nominal investment and get one. Why? Because if you do a complete wiping after every trip to the toilet, you are going to be raw as hell down there and very well could give yourself a hemorrhoid if you get to wiping too much. So my advice is just a superficial wipe or patting, and then finish off in the shower with the handheld. Your butt will thank you. 3. Use gatorade, not powerade. Trust me on this. It makes a difference. And don't use red, do green or clear. The red could lead to the doctor seeing something that's not an actual issue. 4. The insistence on you having a driver is legit. Why? Because the best part of the colonscopy is the drugs. And you're still going to be a tad loopy when they release you (not real loopy, just a pleasant little relaxed high, but also just a little disoriented). When you wake up from the procedure, you will have felt like you just had the best 8-hr sleep you've had in a long time. It's awesome. 5. The second best part of the colonoscopy is the next meal. You are relaxed, cleaned out, and a little hungry. I would go for either a big ass breakfast or a greasy cheeseburger. That's my advice. Just do it as prescribed. Get you a book because you'll be in there awhile, and seriously consider getting a handheld shower head for the cleaning (unless you are a rich fuck who owns a bidet...then problem solved).
  5. Speaking of Bubbas...I just recently learned they are the same outfit as Babe's.

    I love the show, but let's be honest, Fonzi is about to try on the water skis.
  7. I would say the Trustees are by and large a little more to the right...but it's like Highland Park moderate right vs. Southlake Carroll right. Administration, other than Turner and a couple of others, are left. Your academic leadership from the top down are all left. The faculty is all left with small pockets of moderate conservatives sprinkled in but who don't say anything.
  8. I can assure you no one gives a rats ass about Craig James at SMU. He's not rich enough for them to care about.
  9. Hartzel is trading reporting to a Chancellor and 10 System Board of Regents who have expiring terms for being the top dog and reporting to 47 Board of Trustees who don't have expiring terms. He's trading public Regent meetings for very, very private Trustee meetings. He's also trading being held accountable by the Legislature, the THECB, the Board of Regents, and big donors to only being held accountable to the Board of Trustees and big donors (many of whom are one in the same). The one thing he may not be as aware of is he's leaving a relatively weak faculty power structure for a very strong faculty power structure. The Faculty Senate at SMU is very powerful compared to what you have at a public university.
  10. Just received the announcement: January 7, 2025 Dear SMU Community, It is our distinct honor, as Chair and Vice Chair of the SMU Board of Trustees and co-chairs of the Presidential Search Committee, to announce the election of Dr. Jay Hartzell as the next president of SMU. Dr. Hartzell is a well-respected academician and higher education leader with a strong track record of accomplishments that make him the ideal candidate to build upon the tremendous energy and momentum we are experiencing here on the Hilltop. As the current president of The University of Texas at Austin – our state’s premier public flagship university and one of the leading research universities in the world – Dr. Hartzell has the experience and vision that will help propel SMU to even greater heights in the future. During his time as president of UT Austin, he has led the university to record-breaking applications, enrollment, research funding and philanthropic support while advancing new degree programs and key fields like advanced computing, energy and artificial intelligence. Dr. Hartzell, a seasoned faculty member and former dean of UT Austin’s McCombs School of Business, understands the transformative impact higher education plays in the lives of students, employees, alumni and the broader community. His commitment to excellence in academics, research, student life, service and intercollegiate athletics positions him extremely well to serve as SMU’s eleventh president. We invite you to read more about Dr. Hartzell’s background and what others are saying about this remarkable moment in SMU’s history online here. On behalf of the entire SMU Board of Trustees, we wish to thank members of the Presidential Search Committee for their invaluable assistance in identifying our next president. We also express gratitude to many of you – our students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters – who took the time to participate in one of our campus listening sessions or who sent us your feedback online. Your thoughts and perspectives helped us immeasurably during the search process. We are fortunate to have benefited from the outstanding leadership of Dr. R. Gerald Turner, who will transition to the role of President Emeritus, supporting the new president and the University's development and external affairs. His incredible stewardship and care of SMU over the past three decades have helped transform the University into the very special place that it is for so many of us, the city of Dallas, our state and nation. The Board of Trustees and the entire SMU community are grateful for his and Gail’s enduring commitment and service. We look forward to welcoming Dr. Hartzell, his wife, Kara, and their family to the Hilltop when he assumes the presidency on June 1, 2025. Now is a pivotal time in the life of our great University, and we invite you to share in the excitement and optimism for the remarkable achievements and excellence that lie ahead for SMU. Sincerely, David B. Miller ’72, ’73 Chair, SMU Board of Trustees Co-Chair, Presidential Search Committee Richard K. Templeton Vice Chair, SMU Board of Trustees Co-Chair, Presidential Search Committee
  11. They’ll have to go hat-in-hand to the nations and ask for a loan from the casinos.
  12. What a prick. Doesn’t give a shit that by wearing that regarded things he’s obstructing the view of the person sitting behind him. I bet you this mutherfucker drives below the speed limit in the left lane.
  13. This and last week remind me of last year’s blowout loss in the playoffs. One side has a professional coaching staff who know how to game plan for a team, and the other side does not.
  14. I just came by to say thank you for the entertainment you’ve provided me for the next few days. Aggie meltdowns are the drug that never lets you down. Excuse me while I go shoot some Texags directly into my veins.
  15. What got MacIntyre so upset? I couldn’t hear.
  16. For those here old enough to remember this show.
  17. Oh, I have no doubt these charges will be dropped. I just hope there is a reprimand for the cop who handled this about as badly as possible.
  18. Yep. Louisville won't host a major again for a very long time...at least past this generation of golfers and probably the next. And good luck getting any of the Top 50 players to come to any other tournament that gets scheduled there for the next 20 years or so. I'm normally very pro-LEO's. I think they have a hard job to do and most do a good job. But this was 100% an over-the-top Roscoe P. Coltrain type. I am willing to bet y'alls money his file is littered with incidents of him going too far in situations.
  19. Oh what might have been if Tech could have kept TJ Shannon from transferring.
