The Virginian

True, but that's a floor for a program, now. I'm thinking of something more, where they make the money too good for that position to consider transferring.

Mandel is right, but he's not right. #1s don't sit on the bench. EXCEPT for their freshman season. Could this scenario come up in '24? Yes. But it would take some blow up with a coach for a guy to walk off before being on a team for one year. It is, though, with NIL and the portal, becoming common for QBs to walk after a battle. I believe at some point, there's going to be an NIL for "backup QBs." "Hey, we don't think you're good enough to start for us, but would a $75,000 a year contract to be a backup keep you around?" Cause a lot of teams are going to find themselves without a credible backup when the loser of the competition walks.

I think The Virginian just left an opening for a new one.

So that's what she was doing before she went back to Forrest.

Fat legs and bunions, I'd just take the cat and leave. And look at those toenails. She probably sounds like a dog when she walks on a linoleum floor.

Yeah, you know how Einstein flunked math, once? Well, my grades were even worse. Guaranteed victory. A lot of what happens this season depends on the Patterson effect. Will Patterson be a good soldier or an underminer? Did Del Conte bring him in as a back up plan, considering the years they worked together at TCU? Sark already seems fragile, and knowing your possible replacement is already on staff could boost that, particularly since Patterson has a better resume. Can Patterson bring back the old magic, or have things changed too much? The old "my way or the highway" doesn't work nearly as well in the era of the portal. Texas hits nine wins IF: The QB situation works out Patterson plays the good soldier They quit shooting themselves in the dick (fake punt, 4th & 11, down by 3 with 9:43 left in the game) They keep playing until the end of the game. The number of blown leads is ridiculous.

It's not about the money. It's about sending a message. If it was about money, they would have dumped it on HBO or sold it to Amazon Prime, even at a loss. This is about sending a message to the directors, writers and actors that they're not putting up with crap movies anymore.

I do it off and on. My thoughts: When I read back through my writings, I realize I'm retarded. One day I'm writing about goals, one day I'm writing about Harry Potter theories, or whether some band is overrated, or was Don Meredith really that good of a quarterback. It works better for me with an actual written journal, rather than something electronic. Actual writing changes your thought process. I keep my journal in a place where other people won't notice it, and never share it. It's more for organizing my brain than for performance art. I write stuff for other people to read, but that's a whole different game. For journaling, the difficult part is writing for yourself, rather than writing for an audience. It's easy to get too serious or pompous. One thing that I read (haven't done it) was from a guy who journals, and he creates a new journal every year on New Year's Day. In the front cover, he writes a number. He calculates the number by taking 29,200 (the number of days in eighty years) and subtracting his age X 365. It gives him the number of days he has left until he's eighty, so a guesstimate of his time left if he has a reasonable, slightly above average life span. He says it reminds him that time is ALWAYS passing, and keeps him from wasting it. Set a time to journal, if you want to do it. I keep a single journal at a time, and write the date and time in the upper right hand corner before each entry. Each entry starts on a new page. Get a good pen for journaling, one that's comfortable to hold, and doesn't skip or blot. A good pen makes the process of writing pleasant. A crappy one makes it annoying, and will ruin your vibe while you're trying to write.

Fridge is from the 90s. Beer is from whenever he bought it.

Jerry says he could sell the Cowboys for $10 billion, but he won't. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/16/nfl-10-billion-franchise-jerry-jones-fmia-peter-king/?cid=fmiatw

NSIAP, Jerry shows the entire Cowboys draft list to the room.

Looks like someone made a Jerry Jones candle and it melted.

This thread reminded me of James Hampton, who passed away last year. Here he is as caretaker in the original The Longest Yard, with Burt Reynolds. He always played the same kind of generally nice guy next door type, but the guy had a FIFTY-FIVE year career, and he was in everything: Gunsmoke, Hannibal Dobbs(Bugler) in F Troop, caretaker in The Longest Yard, the dad in Teen Wolf, Sling Blade, Punky Brewster, Newhart, Dukes of Hazzard, Murder She Wrote, The Greatest American Hero, Rockford Files, Rawhide, Dr. Kildare, the Doris Day Show, Gomer Pyle, Death Valley Days, Days of Our Lives, Who's the Boss, Full House, Melrose Place, and a couple of Lady Gaga music videos + a whole lot more.

All five B12 teams advance to the field of 32: Baylor, Kansas, Texas Tech, Texas and Iowa State.

There were a couple of reasons to watch the Kilmer Batman movie.

Have the head coaches arm wrestle.

No it's not.

Nice to see Stafford have some success after spending his entire career in that purgatory called the Detroit Lions.

The response by Remi Monaghan bugs me more than it should, but the only thing dumber than a reporter is a sports reporter. Talk about lack of self awareness. TV stations show videos of people getting hit by cars, getting shot, etc, etc, all the time. It's called "news." The fact that it was someone in the profession doesn't make it any more or less newsworthy. If the reporter had been doing the broadcast and someone behind her got hit by a car, none of the reporters would have a problem with showing it. Also, it's "click bait," not "click bate." Yeah, yeah, I know, grammar police and all that, but if you're a reporter, you should be able to write a two sentence tweet without spelling errors. /rant

I know where this is going.
