  1. CDC didn’t make a mistake on the Tom Herman press release. It had already been decided that Herman was gone when he spoke, but they needed a little more time to sew up the Sark contract. So CDC, in order to keep things from spinning out of control for a few weeks, accurately said that Herman was the coach. The press actually inaccurately reported it as a vote of confidence and as an indication he was staying. Go back and read the exact words CDC used. I am 100% sure that it had already been decided that Herman was going to be fired when CDC spoke
  2. Hey they are getting a warm reception ya stupid sip.
  3. Yes, they also had a great Indian bread.
  4. Putting together the final plans for Scotland in May/June. Our itinerary has us on the following route by car: 1. Edinburgh for a few days 2. St Andrews for a day 3. Isle of Skye for a few days 4. Oban area for a few days 5. Isle of Islay for a few days We pretty much have a plan for Edinburgh, Isle of Islay, and St Andrews. Still trying to figure out the best things to do on Skye and around the Oban rough area. There are two of us age 60. We can do some hiking, like to stroll around, see point of interest, nature, etc. Some history stuff is ok but we don't like an overload of it. Any thoughts on do not miss activities on Skye and the general area of Oban?
  5. This is really a poetic phrase.
  6. Some predictions for 2025 mortgage market. https://www.newsweek.com/when-will-mortgage-rates-go-down-forecast-rest-2025-rise-borrowing-costs-2029406
  7. “When a clown moves into a palace he doesn’t become a king, the palace becomes a circus. “ - LeBron James. Appropriate for Dallas Mavs owner and our President.
  8. I would murder someone right now if I could get my hands on the Korean fajitas they sold with that awesome Green hot sauce.
  9. Exactly. Anyone who says he is talentless has no clue what they are talking about. I don't even really like or listen to hip hop at all but if you see what he does with his lyrics and the way he structures his word play, it's more impressive than just about anyone. It's ok for it to not be your thing, it's not really my thing either. But to say he's a talentless hack is just crotchety old people yelling at clouds yearning for the old days. I just wish I could understand the words. Or hear them.
  10. I heard a game is being played today too. True?
  11. Please fire this coach. His team plays terrible defense and their decision making at the end of games is terrible.
  12. Oh sure, a sports owner with $34B net worth is going to get run out of town.
  13. Stop talking about a mid season firing. There is 0% chance of that. 0.
  14. I believe I have the most trivial surly item ever. I made a sandwich the other day and accidentally misaligned my two pieces of bread. The top crust of one piece was aligned with the bottom crust of the other piece, producing a very disappointing first bite of the sandwich. It was devastating and I may never recover. Pray for me
  15. It’s almost like it’s in reference to a famous person or something.
  16. Yall chill. CDC gots this.
  17. Getting Fox and watching them win last night was exactly what I needed after seeing Dallas stumbleduck away Luka. SA still needs one bigger body.
  18. This is not true. I heard the Chuck, Shaq and Perkins explanation. All they said was that this probably makes the Mavs better. They did not say they got the better part of the deal. Correct.
  19. It so ironic that the maga idiot thought she was addressing misinformation when in fact she’s spreading it.
  20. Encouraging to see some 20’s-30’s on surly. Please take over. As soon as possible.
  21. Just catching up on this thread. All I can say is that sometimes the zoom feature on iPhone is not your friend.
  22. I thought this was interesting. This is a maga person’s response to a republican wondering why Trump sounds a lot like Putin in wanting to invade Greenland, Canada, Panama…. ************* Hey just saw this on a friends post - ?? In the interest of pointing out misinformation. In Dec 2023 there was a decision by the World Court, that gave water above land shelves to those countries and ruled they were not international water. The renaming of the Gulf of America isn't renaming the whole gulf. It is renaming the area above our land shelves as our territory. You can't exactly put signs or border walls in the middle of the ocean. So for legal reasons, we need to identify these new changes on the map, so that new borders are made clear to maritime traffic. Those new maps will set the latitude and longitudes of where our border begins, or the Gulf of America. So all maritime traffic knows when they are leaving international waters. This is where knowing what is happening in the world, will help you filter out drama, and help you understand the legalities in your own country. This had nothing to do with Trump's ego, he is strengthening our borders and making sure all maritime traffic understands the changes that happened in 2023. Putting legal protections in place to help us enforce any military actions or incursion in the future. Betting most of you never realized the US grew by thousands of miles. Likewise some of this radical idea of buying Greenland and possibly Canada. has nothing to do with his ego. That has to do with the race for minerals in the Arctic Ocean, protecting our borders, and getting us the legal right to help Europe protect their borders from the Russian and Chinese fleets that have been doing damage to infrastructure. If Greenland is the territory of the US, but still their own country like Puerto Rico, then we have the legal right to have a base there and the legal right to protect the waters around Greenland. The whole premise right now, if we were to go help Europe it would trigger an act of war. We would have to wait for Nato action to do anything. If we have the legal right, to be there. Legal right to protect Greenland, then any response to defend our territory is not considered an act of war. It makes it easier to help our Allies. Also, like as not, Russia and China have been making plans to invade Greenland. I have been hearing they are trying to buy up land around harbors in several countries or eyeing what they can take by force. So Trump is not crazy. Not being an egotistical dictator. He is trying to strengthen the U.S. and working to provide some checks and balances that strengthen our ability to help Allies and prevent another world war. A lot of countries are getting we are the lesser of the two evils. Media not so much, they have grown allergic to fact-checking, and understanding any complex issue and just become about stirring drama rather than reporting facts, all of the facts. And we want the Panama Canal back. It should never have been given away. I was very young when Carter did that, but I knew what he did was unmistakably wrong.
  23. I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, except for the fact that you just demonstrated my whole point. The Republicans figured out a way to communicate that was effective: demonizing, etc. and the Democrats have not.
  24. Someone explain why Chris Paul is starting with Fox?
  25. Trey Owens is not the reason they are looking at cancelling the spring game. They are terrified that the extra exposure for Max Merril will put in jeopardy his 8th year with the program this fall.
