I asserted nothing of the kind. The only reason I responded initially was to make light of the umbrage taken by you at Yormark’s anodyne remarks. He spoke candidly in support of a conference member. UT and OU acted in the best interests of their schools. I guess self righteousness is in the eye of the beholder.

Would you feel better had he been disingenuous and displayed more stealth like that shown by the UT and OU brain trusts when plotting to leave the Big 12? UT and OU are lame duck members. They’re happy and so are Big 12 schools. What’s the big deal?

Chuckle, you believe a conference commissioner would be dumb enough to try to fix games undetected against an outgoing member, and you think my post is low IQ.

C”mon. You can’t be serious. Not too long ago, we had the presidents of UT and OU attending Big 12 executive sessions while secretly colluding with the SEC commissioner against the conference in which they held membership. Besides, since when has any Texas fan given a rats ass about anything a Big 12 commissioner says?

That audience. God almighty…

He’s wasting his time with all the Jesus talk. The Republican base doesn’t give a damn about Jesus and his liberal teachings. The Christianity begins and ends with the brand.

Christie missed an opportunity to clap back at VR by pointing out Trump has promised vengeance were he to be re-elected.

Those numbers are way low for the preachers listed in the 3-5 million dollar category. They’ve grifted much more than that.

After seeing the carnage, Putin says this is the first he’s heard of it. He’s wondering what happened?

People in enjoy watching good college football. The better thanness element is something networks hype and fans of favored programs glom onto. The differences in viewership are not that great: https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2022/12/06/big-12-championship-game-viewership-barely-trails-sec-big-ten-blows-out-pac-12-acc/ The Big 12 Championship game between Kansas State and TCU drew an average of 9.41 million viewers, which ranks them third out of the conference games, just behind the SEC (10.89M) and Big Ten (10.70M)… The Big 12 championship game had more viewers than the ACC and Pac-12 championship games combined. It was much closer to the SEC and B1G in viewership.

Why do Republicans spend so much time trying to limit the rights of people? https://tennesseelookout.com/2023/08/22/tn-house-passes-rules-to-restrict-speech-limit-disruptions-and-public-during-special-session/ Tennessee House Republicans passed a set of rules allowing them to silence lawmakers deemed disruptive, off-topic or who “impugn the reputation” of another member during this week’s special legislative session. The new rules are an attempt by Republican lawmakers to find a way to stop Reps. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, and Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, from disrupting proceedings without expelling them or running afoul of the state constitution, which requires the two men to be able to vote in person on the House floor. “The rules that are being put forward now are to limit freedom of speech,” Pearson said during the debate over them. “It’s not just limiting the freedom of speech of representatives. You are limiting the freedom of speech of our constituents.”

Is the state of Mississippi going to care of this child’s child. She’s not in Arkansas and thus is not allowed to work in a poultry factory.

“Religions should be understood as the fingers that point us to the moon. Not the moon itself.” Richard Rohr

“Meanwhile, the world is FUCKED! Freaking out is a completely normal and logical response to Donald Trump being President and Trump’s behavior in office. What is NOT logical is being the contrarian millionaire who steps back and folds his arms and points at the fire alarm and declares, “Now THAT might be the real problem here." Isn’t this how we collectively deal the the scourge of gun violence?

Since our sanctuary is undergoing significant renovations, we have not returned to the multiple services format. The programming for the one service we have is heavily programmed to appeal to young people. It’s disorienting to the majority of boomers in attendance, but it’s where we are.

I know they’re smart and all, but I wonder if Stanford knows BC is a religious school?

Much like the Sec benefitted from adding three AAU schools from the Big 12, the Big 12 has added four in their place.

The saddest thing about being subsumed into the gun culture is, how after a horrific mass shooting, we sit around and wait for the next one to happen as if there is nothing else we can do.

Yeah, I’m sure Big Mike, Susan Sarandon and Eddie Glaude Jr who just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary because of principles, are loving the hell out the 6-3 right wing SC (which would have been the exact opposite under Hillary).

This prayer of confession use to be in the UMC hymnal. I always felt convicted when reciting it. We no longer use the hymnal or recite the prayer: Sometimes, Lord, we have been overzealous in our pursuit of purity and truth. We have placed law over love. We've considered harshness to be a virtue and patience to be a fault.We have been quick to condemn and slow to forgive. We have been eager to find fault and have been slow to express sympathy. When the mighty have fallen, we are delighted instead of grieved. Remove from us, Lord, any taint of self-righteousness and give is the loving concern which seeks the healing of your church and the unity of your people.

When you say the “the B1G/SEC will use that threat” don’t you mean the networks will?
