  1. The setup on this thing is so dumb. The home teams should not get their conference’s refs. It should be the away team’s conference refs. But really there should be no conference refs. Refs should be rotated around with a National group of refs for the top 6 conferences and a group for everyone else.
  2. My favorite part of this game was when Cunningham got called for a foul and they reviewed him for a flagrant. The review was so obviously against Tennessee that they had to switch it to an intentional foul on them. Then the broadcast just completely glosses over the whole thing.
  3. How the fuck is Campbell not preseason all conference?
  4. I know that it’s in high schools but it’s not mandatory. You shouldn’t be able to graduate high school without properly setting up a budget that includes the calculations of loan amounts and the interest that comes with them. You also shouldn’t be able to graduate without the ability to cook 3 or 4 basic meals. A lot of young adults eat out a ton because the simply don’t know how to cook. That gets them dependent on fast food and they are never able to drop that dependency. I know mid 30s couples that eat out 5 times a week because they can’t cook.
  5. I’ve always had the belief that the high school curriculum should be overhauled to make more sense for the vast majority of the population. A course on health and nutrition including how to cook healthy would be very beneficial to most students about to graduate. As would a course of budgeting and basic finances. These should be required to graduate.
  6. I hope Carr hits a game winning 3 as time expires to destroy your soul. But other than that welcome to the board.
  7. I just got 80k in points from Chase in December. Chase Sapphire
  8. You’re getting shit on for your take because you seemingly don’t understand that the fall off on defense has mostly coincided with playing conference teams. The worst team in the Big 12 would be at worse our 3rd hardest non-conference game. Yes there has been a fall off on defense but that was to be expected with or without Beard simply because of the increase in competition. Our ceiling has not fallen, it’s just become less likely to be achieved than with Beard. Our ceiling has stayed the same but our floor has fallen. We can still win the Big 12, Big 12 tournament and a NC. As always March success will mostly be based on the matchups we draw.
  9. We’ve seen your post history. You’re what brain surgeons are trained to fix.
  10. Anyone who gets in the 10 items or less line with more than 10 items should have their balls chopped off and shoved down their throat while simultaneously being raped by a rusty sword. Yes a bunch of the same item still counts separately. The only exception is something that gets weighed or typed in like bananas.
  11. I agree with you that he wasn’t in charge of everything, likely not in the case of hiring, but he was a producer which gave him authority over the set and most people there. That brings up questions such as did he participate in the after hours shooting range, was he the cause for poor safety standards on the set, did he instruct the armorer or try to cut corners? All of this could lead to him being negligent in providing a safe work environment for the crew. None of it do we truly know at this point, maybe the DA does, but it should all come out in a trial. If he was the cause of the poor safety conditions then he is absolutely liable for the death beyond having just pulled the trigger. That wouldn’t be surprising since we all know he can be a major asshole. It’s not absurd for him as a producer and the one holding the gun to be charged. Let’s see what information turns out to be true when the trial starts.
  12. She chose to screw with the size she is used to.
  13. Bear hugging an opposing player from behind and throwing him down should be a flagrant foul. That only being a common foul is ridiculous.
  14. Why are you so hell bent on defending Baldwin over this? He fucked up and someone died because of it. I’m not sure that he should go to jail because of that but he damn sure should have to sit there and let a jury decide his fate after reviewing all pertinent information.
  15. Just because they are the standard Hollywood procedures doesn’t make them right. It also shouldn’t absolve him of any criminal charges. If you are given a gun and told to fire that gun in the direction of someone else then you are personally responsible for the consequences. If you choose to not personally inspect the gun and what’s loaded into the gun yourself before pulling the trigger that is your fault. Then you take in to account that Baldwin was the most powerful person on that set. There had already been misfires. Baldwin was a producer and not just in name only. The production was supposedly cutting corners with safety protocols. Baldwin could have shut down production and fixed all safety issues had he wanted to. Even if you ignore the rumors that Baldwin was goofing around with the gun or was just practicing his draw he is still 100% at fault for the death of another human being. There’s no argument to be made there. He’s guilty in two ways, both by pulling the trigger and by establishing an environment in which safety protocols were not strictly adhered to. I don’t think he meant to kill her but he still did. He needs to face the consequences for his actions.
  16. Seriously, I don’t want them to know my porn fetishes.
  17. Could it be that he wasn’t charged because of firing the gun but instead because of being the cause of the supposedly poor work conditions on set which led to the chaos and thus the incident?
  18. It’s rarely a good thing when true freshmen are already transferring.
  19. We’re talking embarrassing to the University, not on an individual level. Literally every business, school, or entity that is medium size or above (most small ones too) has an employee arrested for some shit like DV at some point in its existence. That doesn’t reflect badly on the organization but on the employee themself. The only way it would reflect badly on the organization is if they handled it in an improper manner such as covering it up. Texas did not do that In the least bit. They handled it with the utmost class and professionalism.
  20. The loss to ACU was more embarrassing to the University of Texas basketball program than anything Chris Beard has ever done. Beard’s actions are embarrassing for Chris Beard but not Texas basketball. You can’t find a single rationale person who doesn’t believe that the University handled the Beard situation as well as could be done. Most people applaud the University for having morals and doing what needed to be done, wins be damned.
  21. I’d bet that the Ames delivery driver thought that he could call out UT without anyone from Texas responding. If it had worked then he likely gets a lot of sympathy and rakes in money from ISU and other fan bases on Venmo to make up for big bad Texas.
