  1. LE you need to change the name of this thread to "Holy Shit, Markets Rising Like WTF"!!
  2. Ending point maybe, but not turning point. The turning point was when the war changed psychologically. The Doolittle raid gave the US the confidence they could win and the Japanese the fear that the US wasn't the easy pushover they originally thought. The battle of Midway gave the US the strategic advantage. It could have been much sooner if some idiots at Pearl Harbor hadn't taken the warnings so lightly.
  3. The biggest turning point in WWII, certainly the war in the Pacific, was the Doolittle Raid. And that was a fleet of 16 B-25 Mitchell's.
  4. Take a look at his wife and convince me that isn't an act of a terrorist!
  5. Great teeth!😁
  6. There are 4 incoming Freshmen that could possibly play 3rd. I'm sure the cream will rise to the top. Even if Texas gets Lindmuth one of the Freshmen could prove to be better. I'm not concerned about Katie having to play 3rd.
  7. I don't have a problem with killing coral snakes. My father has generally been a let all snakes go person, but when he lived in S. Texas he said he killed almost 20 coral snakes. It's just too dangerous to have them around the house when you're doing yard work and have animals. Plus, they mostly eat lizards and small snakes that help control the insect population so they don't provide much value. My dad also knows someone that got bit by one after putting potted plants in the car. That's certainly not good.
  8. I don't think that's fair to Sark at all. What fat has he cut? The only ones told to leave were dismissed for violating team rules like Cook. As JS said this, "I think the lack of overall portal success outside of the Oregon 4, Joley, Mac, Czech and Dolcini speaks to Mike's belief that the majority of his roster needs to be primarily recruited to Texas and developed by Texas." Sark has said many times that has been and is his strategy at Texas and he only uses the portal to fill holes. There have been some that have left on their own only because they didn't want to wait their turn. And good riddance to those who think they should start without earning it. Tech softball has 44% of their roster in the portal. That includes 6 of the 7 Freshmen. Glasco promised them they would be the future of TT softball and now he has recruited over them and said get lost. When has Sark ever even had 10% of his roster in the portal? There's a vast difference between telling a player, "we don't think you have the talent to be a starter", vs "get lost, we got someone better from the portal".
  9. Yeah, damn for sure. He was a musical genius.
  10. Grasso & Glasso want to buy a NC. The hell with you players we started recruiting 4-5 years ago. If we find someone better than you, get the hell out of here. A billion dollars can buy better players than Texas, but I think it's somewhat unethical. I hope it eventually catches up with them.
  11. I think you're right, but I never can remember his roommates name. Something like Dunkin I think. I don't know why Donuts always come to mind. But reality is for every Colt McCoy there's 10 Mark Buchanan's. And the other reality is club softball kinda washes out the unknows because the best players all play together regardless of where they played in HS. Teagan didn't even play HS ball. I think Wells will do fine.
  12. Maybe Texas won't be so failed in the future. Dems are turning things around and Soros has the money to do it. George Soros group is funneling millions into this big red state in hopes of turning it blue | The Independent
  13. She had some injury issues last year and I expected her to be better this year. Hopefully next year is even better.
  14. You add in the number of errors and unearned runs given up it's even more insane. I doubt if another team has ever given up as many errors and unearned runs in the WCWS at all, much less giving up so many and still winning it all.
  15. Ou is about the only program that can do some unethical things and it never having a negative impact. But the programs trying to do the right thing need to make HS recruits well aware of who is selling them ocean front property in AZ. Tech is now taking it to a whole new level. MW only brought in Bennett for depth and publicly stated he would not go after Canady. Tech thought they could buy a NC and failed. Nothing is better than seeing the sad faces on their players and fans. Just hope the honest coaches are doing a very good job of pointing out the dishonest.
