  1. Where are you seeing the Russian language readout stuff?
  2. Nixon did this same shit too. Released a super misleading transcript that basically absolved him of all the really bad stuff. Fortunately prosecutors discovered the tapes.
  3. If there are word for word transcripts of that call as the report suggests, those need to be subpoenaed ASAP. Forget this “based on the recollections of the parties there” nonsense.
  4. This is a pretty damning timeline for Trump and Giuliani, and does a good job distilling the information: https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/
  5. Agree 100%. But it’s obvious that the report isn’t being released because of the White House.
  6. Congress needs to stipulate that the report will have no redactions and no alterations. If Donald is releasing this, it’s because he’s getting pressure from republicans in Congress (can’t believe I typed that).
  7. Demas’s twitter is way over the top aggy in a Tate Martell kind of way. So aggy it’s weird.
  8. If there is even a modicum of deniability (e.g., Trump is literally caught on tape saying precisely "you aren't getting aid unless you give me damaging information on Hunter and Joe") the Republicans will put their fingers in their ears. If its an implied quid pro quo, no matter how obvious and apparent, they'll continue to stand behind him. And I doubt the Ukrainians, who still need and want the aid, are going to do anything to damage their working relationship with the White House. Frankly, if you are going to piss off one political party, wouldn't you rather it be the Democrats? The Republicans are wayyy more likely to seek retribution.
  9. *they’re
  10. Maybe Surly litigators can set me straight, but how could AC privilege be claimed with regards to communications made to (or in the presence of) third parties (e.g., the Ukrainians)? Doesn’t that destroy privilege? Not to mention the crime/fraud concerns?
  11. Democrats are playing not to lose in 2020 and it’s infuriating. Run, run, run, punt isn’t an effective strategy against rampant corruption and an opponent willing to do whatever it takes.
  12. Dude does seem to have some legit offers (assuming all reported offers are real) and both Herman and Fisher made him a priority. How did he do at the opening?
  13. None of this will matter. Trump got away with telling Lester Holt on live television he fired Comey because of the Russia thing. This will get bogged down in fights over executive privilege, Trump is really fighting the corruption of the “Biden Family” and is actually a hero, Trump can say what he wants to foreign leaders, etc. Best case scenario is he loses in 2020, some of the political fever passes, and he answers to charges then. Zero chance this resolved before the election.
  14. Fine. The only thing he’s done so far was trick us into thinking he was a sophomore.
  15. I'm down to play one tough non-conference game a year. The rest should be tune-ups. Our schedule is filled with some real heavyweights in the next several years. There's general goodwill between the Texas and Rice programs, lots of alumni/family overlap, tons of UT alums in Houston, and we always beat them. Holgerson will make UH more dangerous and there's reason to give them that pedestal. Screw UH, happy to continue playing Rice.
  16. Freudian slip
  17. Real rough stretch in the schedule there
  18. Will Blazer’s football takes makes my ears bleed.
  19. One of the better PBS frontline documentaries I've seen is on the Tank Man. Worth the time: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tankman/
  20. Thanks, I'll check it out. Longhorn Blitz is generally the best (by far) of the Texas podcasts I've listened to.
  21. LOL...”some point & time”
  22. This is actually best case scenario for us. I was worried that LSU would be on their toes because of the beat down we laid on Georgia last year, but it seems pretty clear they have no respect for us. Herman's teams come out swinging in these type of games and LSU won't be ready for it .
  23. Okay, so what do you propose? Put him in a glass case because he might get hurt? He can handle 20 carries and, while not ideal, I think we can limp into the bye week in okay shape. But Ingram is going to have bear the brunt of things. It is what it is.
  24. Two thoughts: 1) There were zero legitimate options in the transfer portal besides Feaster. We'd have been better off talking Kyle Porter into staying. 2) We need to run Ingram into the ground against LSU if that is what it takes. Motion Smith/Duvernay into the backfield or run some jet sweeps to eat up 5-6 carries and give Roschon 5-8. We can treat Rice like a bye week, manufacture carries at RB, and give Ingram another week to rest up for Okie State (Young may also be back for this). Then we get to the bye. Obviously if Ingram turns an ankle or something we're screwed.
  25. Friend of a friend information relay here, but Roschon may stick at running back or wide receiver. He wasn’t looking good at QB - Sexton was playing at a comparable (if not better) level.
