  1. What’s your friend borrowing the shotgun for? If it’s for hunting, the Bipartisan Background Check Bill of 2019 passed by the House, excluded that from the transfer provisions. Is it for skeet shooting? If so, there’s an exception for that as well. I agree that some of the language isn’t perfect, as arguably there is an issue with transport of the shotgun between the target shooting/hunting location. However, they did try and include some reasonable exceptions in the bill and if the Senate had ever actually allowed consideration of the Bill, maybe this issue could have been fixed.
  2. It’s the same at my place. I’m pumping water into my tank overnight to try and get back to close to full.
  3. First load of protein went out today. It was delayed by 2 weeks due to equipment failure. There is always something to fix.
  4. He doesn’t intend to come for all of them. I know that. I don’t actually care if they ban the sale of ARs/AKs going forward. It’s taking people’s property away that I have an issue with.
  5. Will those South TX Hispanics who voted for Trump in 2020 so up to vote when Trump isn’t on the ballot and small businesses weren’t decimated by COVID? I think turnout will certainly be lower in 2022. As a gun-owner, I wish Beto had not discussed taking guns away from people. I think we can have great conversations about reasonable gun control measures (eg, universal background checks, res flag laws, etc). When you start talking about confiscating property from largely law abiding folks, that’s a problem. I won’t be a one-issue voter but that could end up being the difference.
  6. I had one of the Jordan rookie cards and sold it for $500 in high school. I thought I made a fortune. Also, I still occasionally look at the Jordan rookie sticker that I stuck to the shoe box that held my cards.
  7. Since the Dems are in front, are we supposed to start yelling “Stop the Count”?
  8. Win out in Non-conference and play in the Big 12 title game
  9. Sounds like the Aggie football women’s clinic
  10. I agree he’s a better coach than Ty Willingham. He also inherited Jake Locker at a program that has generally been an upper-tier Pac 12 team. I just don’t see an upgrade in this hire. There’s nothing in his resume as a head coach that excites me about this hire.
  11. Sark’s nickname at Washington was “7 Win Steve” - he didn’t even meet UH’s supposed standard
  12. Red always thought Charlie would be a great coordinator.
  13. If it’s Sark, CDC need to go - He’s already failed at a high profile job

  15. Warren is absolutely right about this. However, I think the bill should go farther than eliminating trading in individual stocks. It should require all federal elected officials and Congressionally approved appointments to either hold assets in a blind trust or alternatively have an approved list of extremely broad based investments (eg, total stock market funds, etc.). The fact this doesn’t get traction reveals the current expectations of legislators to profit from insider trading.
  16. When you put out out the protein with the de-wormer, is it mixed with other protein feed in the feeder or is that the only feed in the feeder for that time? Are you buying the de-wormer protein feed in bags or bulk? I’ve been considering adding this to the protein regimen this year.
  17. While I agree no real search was conducted for many (possibly all) of those, we must admit if a search were done by outside consulting, Herman would have been at the top of the realistic list the year he was hired. (the Saban opportunity had passed) It looked the way it did because he was also at the top of LSU's list..they just moved a bit faster than we did. I don't disagree with this on Herman. However, if we had executed a search, then some of his flaws may have become apparent, another candidate may have emerged (similar to Mack vs Barnett), etc.
  18. It's not my job to figure out who should be the next coach at Texas. That's why the University pays CDC. It's the biggest decision he will have in his tenure here.
  19. The University simply isn't committed to winning titles. We've been more interested in being profitable. Our facilities aren't the best. Our strength and conditioning isn't championship level. We establish rules such as only hiring coaches with head coaching experience which prevented us from considering Stoops for example, When it comes to coaching searches, we generally do a terrible job. Post-Akers, we have hired: 1. David McWilliams - we found the closest connection to DKR available. No search was actually conducted. 2. John Mackovic - We went as far from DKR as possible. Not a championship level hire. 3. Mack Brown - Obviously, a great hire. However, it's hard to give the administration any credit here as they had to be talked down from hiring Gary Barnett who would have been Mackovic Jr. 4. Charlie Strong - The administration didn't want to take any chances on getting turned down and so hired someone who would definitely accept. 5. Tom Herman - Boosters panicked because their chosen one was going to LSU. No search was conducted. Go out and find the best coach. One who can recruit and cares about the process of getting better every day. One who doesn't look at the program as a chance to enrich his buddies and cares more about winning then just about anything else. One who understands you shouldn't talk about national championships until you can win conference championships.
  20. I won’t leave the volume on my car radio at 13.
  21. I’m guessing between 5 and 7. When he’s looking straight at you, he has a massive neck going back to September. Also, I have pics of him from late in the Summer with a beer gut and a little sway to his back. This is our second season on this ranch and I’m trying to improve my aging skills.
  22. That’s a cool looking old buck.
