His fake sanctimony makes me want to give three cheers to sin.

Doesn't seem to affect their football recruiting much if at all, they still manage to pull some 4/5*'s not only in state, but from urban areas of other states as well. Guess fish camp starts before enrolling. One cannot ignore the fact that they pay well. They have to. Unbridled racism is expensive.

It will remain mystified why the big 12 was not able to capitalize on its strengths during the halcyon days that included a national championship for Texas. The conference had a good run during the early 2000s.

Black aggys raised hell because of the institutional racism during the Melvin Watkins era. They even threatened to redirect prospective students/athletes away from the school. It’s time for them to stop threatening and use the little leverage they have. If A&M simply cannot abide black liberal professors, it follows that black liberal 5 star athletes should be as undesirable.

I don’t understand why black people even bother with A&M. It’s just an irredeemably horrible place.

How can this not be a problem for UCLA? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/11/sports/ncaafootball/ucla-football-game-attendance.html And yet crowds have continued to be so barren at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., that U.C.L.A. has averaged only 36,241 fans in six home games, despite the university routinely giving away tens of thousands of tickets.

Hurd, Christie and Hutchinson are going about this all wrong. Rather than get booed off stages for telling the truth about Trump, they should take the other candidates to task for their failure to do likewise, and they should be ugly and nasty in doing so. Make them shit or get off the pot.

Apparently these dry bones can live: https://www.si.com/college/2023/07/27/big-12-adding-colorado-conference-realignment The resolve stemmed from the fact that the remaining eight schools all wanted to stay together if possible. Losing the two biggest brands in the conference was a huge blow, but removing heavy-handed Texas from the boardroom dynamics actually made collaboration easier. The partnerships were solid, and the league’s anchor in Texas remained valuable. Nobody wanted to give up on the league until it was absolutely necessary. It is exceedingly difficult to survive as a wounded animal in the modern college athletics jungle. Yet here we are two years hence, with the Big 12 not just alive but sporting the teeth and claws of a fierce predator. Colorado is coming, the membership has swelled to 13 schools and more could be added soon. It’s a testament to the league’s collective attributes, all of which revealed themselves in a time of crisis: resolve, self-awareness, patience, leadership, boldness and ruthlessness. .

Still amazed at how fake alpha man can get so many schlubs with exotic last names to go to jail for him.

Stop perpetuating this fantasy that schools are in a position to swing their nuts anywhere. They’ll do what the networks tell them to do and like it.

Isn’t this what Bibi is codifying in Israel? Forget the courts. political rulers will do as the please.

What a kick Bidenomics has turned out to be: Morgan Stanley is commending “Bidenomics” at a crucial time, crediting President Joe Biden’s policies for the state of the U.S. economy as Biden continues his quest to sell a skeptical public on his economic agenda. What You Need To Know https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2023/07/24/morgan-stanley-credits--bidenomics-- Morgan Stanley is commending “Bidenomics” at a crucial time, crediting President Joe Biden’s policies for the state of the U.S. economy as Biden continues his quest to sell a skeptical public on his economic agenda The major investment bank and financial services company now projects 1.9% gross domestic product growth in the first half of this year as opposed to the previous estimate of 0.5% Morgan Stanley’s chief U.S. economist Ellen Zentner wrote the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act – legislation Biden signed in Nov. 2021 that was a major piece of his agenda – is creating a “boom” in infrastructure and strengthening manufacturing construction An CNBC All-America Economic Survey released last week found just 37% of Americans said they approve of Biden's handling of the economy.

I understand solar and wind are providing a third of the power generation necessary to keep the Texas grid online. That’s can’t be true. Can it? Solar and wind power are evil.

Texas must issue passports and visas that those of us who live here know nothing about.

I think I have this right. It’s illegal to electrify your fence to keep burglars out, for fear that they be killed. How then, is it legal to entrap migrants in razor wire as they come ashore at Eagle Pass?

I’m sure pastors of churches across Texas did a momentary pivot away from preaching about personal holiness to focus on the abomination occurring at/in the Rio Grande, since it’s clear that vital piety must contain evidence of social holiness Chuckle. Not.

Musk doesn’t know what to do. He’s destroyed Twitter and refuses to look in the mirror: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/elon-musk-is-rebranding-twitter-to-x-and-killing-the-bird-logo-165944573.html Elon Musk’s rebrand of Twitter seems to be underway. In a series of late-night tweets Saturday, Musk shared that the company’s famous bird logo and name would soon be no more. The company, it seems, will simply be known as “X.” “And soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” he tweeted. He later said in a Twitter space that the Twitter logo would be changed Sunday. “It should have been done a long time ago, sorry it took so long,” he said. Later that night, he reportedly emailed employees about the change. According to Platformer’s Zoe Schiffer, Musk emailed staff saying the company would become X and that his note “was the last email he’ll ever send from a Twitter email address.” Twitter didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Gun violence has become an impediment to the pursuit of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and domestic tranquility, and our general welfare in America.

Go ‘head, Paula!

Dallas at night from a 737:

It looks like there will 3 conferences whose members will be able to fund the ongoing, never ending facility upgrades. There are only so much bling you can cram into a building.

Caroline’s son drags his crazy cousin: https://people.com/jack-schlossberg-slams-cousin-rfk-jr-endorses-joe-biden-7563907 Just days after presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was slammed for giving a speech full of conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 virus, John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, blasted his cousin in a scathing video message. Early Friday morning, Schlossberg posted a video on Instagram criticizing his cousin’s presidential candidacy — and strongly endorsing incumbent President Joe Biden as the person to carry on his grandfather's legacy. He filmed the selfie video from a car. “Hi, I’m Jack Schlossberg and I have something to say,” the 30-year-old attorney said, addressing the camera directly. “President John F. Kennedy is my grandfather and his legacy is important. It’s about a lot more than Camelot and conspiracy theories. It’s about public service and courage. It’s about civil rights, the Cuban missile crisis, and landing a man on the moon.”

They should also point out the refusal of an Alabama town to allow the duly elected black mayor to discharge his duties. I know some may find my take unsettling because the state of Texas is as exposed as Alabama on this issue, but it’s time fir the chips to fall where they may.
