Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: It's Miller Time
horn4life replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
On the one hand I thought Morris would get the minutes he wanted because the pathway was there. But the DV charge apparently is not going away, so you have to factor that into things from the coach perspective. I think that Terry wants to build a team that is a family, and having part of the family facing a DV charge isn't the best advertisement for your "family values" that I think makes Terry attractive to recruits. Now you can always sell "second chance" love in justifying keeping a kid like Morris who I also believed had significant upside. But if that same kid who may embarrass the team, also has an attitude problem about not being able to push out Carr and Hunter for more minutes? That's a head case for me as a coach. Now I do not know this to be true, but I also don't think it's too big a stretch to think that Terry may not be crying over the loss as we might expect. I would expect that Beard would go after Morris, if for not other reason that to try and show he can take a Texas kid away. It's what I would do if I were Beard if just for the news cycle publicity. I honestly never want to lose a kid, and I am praying Hunter comes back because the second half of the season he finally started getting his Freshman year mojo back. Terry may know more about the NBA feedback and projections than any of us. I would expect UT to have a fairly good evaluation of this for any of our players that are potential NBA level prospects. So Terry may already have Hunter penciled in as returning. I am praying again and again for Disu to return and put on the pounds that I think will give him a prosperous and longer NBA career. I also can't cay that I am not a little nervous right now about our recruiting because there are so many moving parts. The good news is we are all going to get a pretty good idea of Terry's recruiting prowess or the lack thereof shortly. So hopefully we will all be backslapping exclaiming our praise, but you can't help but be a little nervous until all the ink dries. -
Hey anybody replaced any decals? I have one shitty one on of course the front of my trailer. I scrapped most of it off last year and there is a little bit of decal at the top where it was hard to reach, and mostly just adhesive residue. I was thinking of buying one of the 3M discs to remove the residue as I worried about potential staining or gelcoat damage if I used goof off or something similar. I have the replacement decal, (which will likely suck as well) but just need to get down to a smooth clean surface before I put the new one on. Suggestions?

Why is Republican Heterosexuality so easily changed and influenced?
horn4life replied to horn4life's topic in Cloak Room
Perhaps I should have said that it is factually accurate that throughout all of history there has been homosexuality. Even when they masses could not read or be exposed to drag shows... I was using the "God Made" as a reference to the supposed beliefs of those that are afraid books will change their sexuality. I assume they self identify as "Christians." -
On the Nazi memorabilia. When I was young both my grandfathers served in WWII. Nazi stuff was like trophies of US victory. My Dad had a Luger, a Nazi youth knife, and some sort of officers larger knife. My Dad also up until the last few years was what a lot of folks would call a gun freak as I bet he has bought and sold several hundred guns over the course of his life. We used to regularly go to gun shows when I was a kid, and he went most of his life. But about 30 years ago he got rid of his Nazi stuff. The simple reason he gave was that the people who wanted the Nazi stuff now did not want the stuff as trophies, but as something else, admiration and sympathy for the Nazi cause and philosophy. Today you have Republicans saying "The Jew Prosecutor" over and over, when they say "Soros Backed Prosecutor." It's no surprise at all to me that one of the biggest republican donors has Nazi memoribilia... is that really any more of a surprise than Clarence Thomas proving he has no ethics? Crow pays bid buck to buys and collects things. Apparently he has a Supreme Court Justice in his collection as well.
-
it's all relative now. Compared to the rest of the GOP court? I think he does actually contemplate. I agree on the voting rights, but as bad as he is, he now seems more reasonable... because the rest are right wing political hittters.
-
Roberts is the only Republican on the court right now that I believe has a high level of ethics and an overriding respect for the rule of law. Instead you have folks like Thomas that don't ask a single curious question for years while accepting levels of largesse that ANY reasonable person would be see only as a negative stain on the reputation of the court. What we have learned is that if Republicans are given power they will exercise it to the furthest extreme. Extremes that fit within a parameter where lies don't matter, corruption doesn't matter, votes don't matter only power matters. Thomas has the power now, and he has never given a fuck about anything but himself. The court is just a way to get free trips, and put the rubber stamp of a non-curious jurist voting exactly as planned without contemplation. A shill if you will. What the Supreme court shows us today, is that if you want to corrupt the court, you can corrupt the court. Now you have to use corrupt means, you must disregard fairness and principle to achieve this goal, and that was what Republicans did. When a minority abuses their power to place three minority view judges to the highest court in the land with the fewest votes to affirm ever you damage the credibility of the court. Republicans currently are morally corrupt. It's no surprise Republican judges suffer from the same affliction.

Why is Republican Heterosexuality so easily changed and influenced?

DeSantis being married at Disney because, it wasn't "gay" then but is "gay" now is always good for a chuckle. I have always thought getting married in Disney World is absolutely moronic. I think it's more nerd than gay, because hell only a nerd homosexual would want to get married there. But I also was not a nerd, so there may indeed be a closer link to the potential of having a book change your sexuality if you are a nerd. So maybe DeSantis truly does have some sort of "fear" that is based on his nerd reality? -

So (channeling my GOP brain here) that TV can make people gay! You see Will And Grace has such an influence showing gayness that so many people became gay that now it is even OK to have gay people in tv ads! Cause and effect! Or the other options are just bigotry, stupidity and irrationality? I think the real reason... distraction, for political reasons. But again as I said my sexuality unlike that of so many Republicans can't be altered by a book, observation, TV show, or much of anything. But I guess I might be fascinated if indeed books could change my sexuality. I would endlessly wonder why? Not in a good or bad way. Just curious as to why a book could change my sexuality? The actual why? -
Just sort of an overall lack of urgency. I mean normally I expect nearly frenetic attacks for the first few pissed off minutes after an opponents goal. I saw maybe 2 minutes or sort of frenetic effort, then back to non-threatening possession. Not too much at all after either of the other two goals. They almost need to make some sort of radical adjustment, but that leaves them open to counters. Still maybe simply attack forcefully from the left or right backs the draw the defense toward the overload. Then try for deeper crosses to where the wing or attacking mid from the other side has a chance to slip in behind the shifting defense. The specific intention of having the field switching cross as the preferred result of the defensive counter is to try to protect the more vulnerable space created by the rapid defenders advance creating the overload. Of course reality might be a bad cross, quick counter, and fuck city. Anytime you try to build attacks out of the back there is risk involved. But for this team right now from the last couple outings we just are not getting many angled runs that can potentially get behind the defense. Right now our possessions simply don't put the other team on their heels very much. Again I will say how beautiful yesterdays goals are, and as I have said many times, sometimes the other guys are pretty damn good and make some great plays. Hope we can find a way to be more threatening than for just a few moments next game.

While the good guys aren't exactly playing the way I would want them to, I absolutely loved from the former player/coach point of view the goals Boanga scored from a technical aspect. It was as if he listened to every bit of coaching I have tried to pass on to front players. First is hit the fucking ball the first chance you get. Because about 90% of the time the extra setup touch means the opportunity is lost. First the quick low shot was lovely, while heartbreaking. His second goal was a great example of how easy it is to score goals if you are smart and simply anticipate. I screamed for years for players to attack the backside of the goal as that's where the easy goals are made. I scored one with my dick in high school off the bounce. How many times does a ball slide through and you can simple pass it back against the grain and make easy scores? And how many of those past balls across the middle just roll out to the sideline wasting an opportunity? Boanga just anticipated what often happens and put himself in the right spot for an easy second goal. His last hope eliminated crack was the low strike on the volley with his chest over the ball to keep it down. Exactly how it's supposed to be done, beautiful yet sickening as I finally changed the channel. I was pissed that we played so poorly and got fucking schooled. But the coach/player part of me was screaming exactly on those goal! Clearly to be a great striker you need to have the ball skills and ability to strike the ball. But the little things like attacking the back side and striking at the first opportunity are simply playing smart. And you can learn, practice and execute that at any level. Now LAFC with Boanga on fire is for sure a tough opponent, but most of our extended possessions were simply games of keep away. There has to be more overlapping runs and faster switching sides more frequently to create for opportunities for us. IMHO. And for heaven's sake possessing along the back line or passing the ball back is all sell and good to create a seam and an opportunity. But hell we were heading the wrong way more often than the right direction it seemed. Sadly we did have some early opportunities, but we were clearly outclassed yesterday. We need to press those possessions much more quickly forward than we did yesterday to get more opportunites, or even the hope of more opportunities. I will say one thing, I can't blame Stuver on any of those fucking goals.

The toenail thing if funny, because I used to swim in high school and my mother and sister conspired to remove and roll back my bed sheet and paint my toe nails while I was asleep. They thought I was going to freak out, and I just shrugged, went to 5:30 am practice. While a couple of the guys were sort of taken aback, the girls loved my being able to roll with it, without insecurity of my sexuality. Reminded me of how fun a coed swim team was back in the day. -
Now let me be clear I am heterosexual. Always have been, assume I always will be. I also think that it is silly to think that everyone is exactly like me. So I accept that God has made humans in all shapes and sizes and sexual preferences. I also know factually that God has created for as long as man has walked the earth some children with both men and women's sex organs, or conversely the lack of full development of either. Now nothing I have said thus far, can be factually attacked without complete and total disregard for honesty and facts. But what I do not understand is why is the heterosexuality of Republicans and their children so fragile? Now maybe my God made me so much more heterosexual in some way I do not understand compared to my Republican male heterosexual counterparts. But intuitively this supposition is probably not accurate (despite a lot of numerical data available to support this supposition). In my instance for example reading a book would not change my heterosexuality. Seeing a heterosexual sex act would not change my sexuality. Recognizing that somebody else is not heterosexual would not change my sexuality. Seeing a woman in man's clothing, nor a man in woman's children would change my sexuality. Having a man make a pass at me (has happened) would not change my sexuality. In fact honestly I can't think at anything that would change my sexuality (**life incarceration could, I believe over time condition a different sexuality, but I believe life incarceration could potentially change anything about anyone. Sexual abuse might also alter ultimate sexuality, or cause enough confusion to alter course is possible as well). Now having coached a shit ton of soccer over more than a decade, I can also tell you that many kids wrestle with their sexuality. I coached more girls later, and some of my most natural athletes later declared they were not heterosexual. I also remember talking to my 1st grade daughter talking about a boy in her class and calling him a "boy girl." Later he would declare himself homosexual. But I don't think in either of these examples a book, discussion, observation was the ultimate determiner of their sexuality. Any more than a book, observation or discussion determined my sexuality. But the one question I do not have an answer to is, Why do Republicans believe that books, discussions and observations could change their own sexuality? Have books, discussions and observations previously changed their base sexuality? Was there some point in their life that they consciously decided they would be heterosexual, rather than homosexual? Did they flirt with being trans before making this decision after seeing Cabaret? Did not seeing Cabaret, The Bird Cage or a drag show for example preserve their heterosexuality? Would seeing a drag show change them to homosexual from heterosexual? I hate to be so vacuous here and ask so many questions, but none of the examples that Republicans fear will make them and their children not heterosexual is something I would every worry about. If my kids were gay, I would probably assume it's genetic for example and love them anyhow. I would also know that it's harder in life to be gay than straight IMHO. But Rather than assume that either the way I raised them, a book, show, discussion or observation had changed their sexuality. Apparently Republicans believe the opposite? That at least for many Republicans sexuality is something that is fluid, flexible and easily influenced. And that is something that I simply do not understand. And my heterosexuality could never be changed by such influences. So help me figure this out....

I would not view the Apple watch as anything but another potential data point. I have the 8 and it does some cool stuff, but as was said previously the chest strap monitors are far and away the most accurate on HR, but that's also another data point. You can run tests on yourself for Afib with the apple watch, and I bought that model just because... WTF maybe it will tell me something I don't know one day. I love my Apple Watch, but hate that it is a pile of junk if not charged every day.

Please don't tell me that you are surprised to see that Thomas used his position on the court corruptly. Now you can quibble about the details, but Thomas' actions show an overriding disregard for how important the APPEARANCE of impartiality to what formerly made the Supreme Court such a respected and special institution. Sadly I just had to use the word "formally." There was so much respect lost for the court with the corruption of the appointment process by the GOP. But to know that besides a having a wife that advocated for the overthrow of the government, Thomas himself has been proven devoid of respect for the sanctity of the court sadly is not a surprise. Anita Hill tried to tell us...
-
Yeah I was very close to walking up his last show at the Erwin Center and seeing what tix I could get. because the wife hadn't seen him way back when. That ended up being a lot bigger mistake than I thought. Plus my buddy got good tix at the last minute fora $100 a pop.

I will say however that I was lucky enough to see Tom Petty in Austin supporting his album Damn the Torpedos, way back in 1979 as a freshman at the Austin Opry House. There was some fucking great writing on that Album. Just listen... Side one: Refugee, Here Comes my Girl, Even the Losers, Shadow of Doubt (complex kid), Century City, then Side two starts with Don't do me like That." last three songs are weak IMHO, but damn 6 great songs out of 9 is pretty awesome. And I think Tom Petty's best writing. Plus Live you had American Girl, and Breakdown also in the set list. I don't remember Free Falling, but I could be wrong. Maybe one of you can say I am full of shit, so my opinion will fit in with the "unpopular" category. I would not list Free Falling in my top Petty songs. Hell a decent career could have been made off just the songs listed above had he stopped writing in 1979... So I forgive petty for Free Fallin'

The crazy thing is Putin pulled off the greatest espionage operation in the history of man with his collusion with the Trump Campaign. I honestly cannot think of an operation that had a more deleterious effect. Complete change of the balance of the Supreme Court. Complete lack of commitment to NATO, and Trump's never ending subservience to Putin. Yet this success lured Putin into thinking that NATO was so damaged by Trump that there is no way that NATO would be an effective counter to Putins invasion offensive. Thankfully the first thing Biden did was try to rebuild our coalitions and alliances. It is also very good that Biden knew so many of the other leaders and had a reputation for honestly and trustworthiness. I honestly don't think Hillary, Romney or any of the other potential Presidents would have been as effective at this reconstitution as Biden was. And that was the big miscalculation, that Biden was going to be incapable of leading a real coalition and that was a big mistake. I also think that Biden soon needs to flex on Putin, and I would use the arrest of WSJ journalist as the lever. Just wait a while and then start supplying planes to Ukraine. Does this risk escalation? Sure, but I also think at this point commands to fire nuclear missiles might lead to Putin's death at the hands of those closest to him. I will be interesting to see how the counteroffensive this Spring goes for the good guys. In a very weird way the great success Putin had with Trump may have made him grossly overestimate his capabilities. This thing is a long way from over, but the biggest danger to the success of this war is keeping Republicans out of control at the Federal level. Crazy isn't it? That the single best thing that could happen to Putin is to have Trump and the GOP return to power and starve the Ukrainian war funding. Sure hope the good guys make some huge gains in the next few months!

It's also good to point out that it was ILLEGAL for foreigners to own US Broadcast Television stations. New Gingrich and the GOP changed the law for Rupert Murdoch and our country's level of discourse and honesty in reporting fell off a cliff. I think the real damages to Fox are going to be when their lying scumbag hosts have to repeatedly admit, "Yeah our viewers are fucking stupid, but we know what stupid people want to hear! Lies!!!" This will be repeated over and over and over. In a normal world where viewers cared about facts and honesty this would destroy a news network. but Fox knows their audience and a continuous stream of dishonesty is what they want. So the damage won't be as bad with Fox because of the wanton ignorance of their viewers.
-
Yeah if a member of the party that is Nationally a minority party loses there is cheating and danger. Instead of simply admitting that minority views when not supported by extreme gerrymandering and voter suppression allow for a level playing field which hurts Republicans. I still say we should all be paying for big billboards that say. "Please Vote Young People, save us from the Rural Racist Republicans."
