  1. That’s the second time you’ve alluded to this incident on this thread (after saying he “domed a fool” before). I’m glad more innocent people weren’t killed. But celebrating a shooting in a church, especially holding it up as a model for why people should be armed, is pretty unseemly, in my opinion.
  2. Oh “they” did, huh?
  3. Not happening. He’s opting out after his first 100 yard game to prepare for the next level.
  4. Ding ding ding Gets people on both sides riled up despite it being utterly irrelevant. The American way.
  5. I don't necessarily agree with his point, but if you think the first post was mean and nasty while the second was healthy and non-toxic...well, that's bold.
  6. Hmmm...I thought that post WAS getting used to it. If this is indeed the new truth, then my point is a staff has to evaluate if the potential contribution a player makes to Texas Football's interest outweighs the potential for him to undermine it. A guy sitting out an entire year of eligibility (not to mention the rumors of conflict with his coaches/teammates) is, in that sense, a big red flag. They have to weigh that against his talent and decide if it's worth the risk. In this case, it probably is. In others, maybe not so much.
  7. Even under the most cynical view, it's a red flag in that there is the clear potential for his personal business interest (protecting his body to make it to the NFL) to undermine the business interest of Texas Football, Inc. (winning).
  8. Lot of truth in this in particular.
  9. Did I say that?
  10. That doesn’t mean you have to play all 3 years.
  11. Or you could just read the article and see that they won’t be.
  12. Blue has something like 1/4 of the touches Gray did. It’s not really a concern for him.
  13. That makes it worse, not better. He’s obviously thinking about the NFL, so he’s gone after his junior year-what’s to stop him from sitting that out if there’s already good tape? Or with Bijan gone, assuming he starts then as a sophomore, let’s say he’s dominating through half the season-why not shut it down then? Approving this just undermines your own team down the road-you’re sowing the seeds of your own destruction.
  14. Was there ever any other purpose?
  15. When he either retires or dies. Little known fact.
  16. It’s not that he can’t be charismatic. It’s that he lacks the joy and sense of humor required for Gus.
  17. I think Duval could have done a fine job with Call. I have a difficult time picturing Jones as Gus, though.
  18. Big talk from someone doing toddler level work in 3rd grade.
  19. We’ve clearly been reading different boards.
  20. He did come out just a few weeks ago and called the current Republican Party “isolationist, protectionist, and nativist.” I thought that was actually pretty strong criticism for a former President.
  21. That’s a lot of words to explain you don’t know any women.
  22. No, I'd say perpetual whining is par for the course.
  23. Yeah, but then what would people have had to bitch about for the last half a dozen pages?
  24. Yeah, that sounds like you understand it.
  25. I’m witnessing a great example of the oppositional defiant disorder in action right now. Our church is partnering with DSHS to host a vaccine clinic this Friday at our facility, anyone in the community welcome. As part of promoting that, we’ve bought an ad on Facebook targeted at anyone in our immediate area. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, lots of likes, shared, etc. But there’s been 8-10 negative reactions, including comments of a gif of sheep jumping a fence, a fierce “NO! POISON,” and a rant that we needed to stay in our lane (all deleted immediately-not the place for debate). Theres any number of websites, message boards, Facebook groups, your own personal page, wherever that you can post that sort of stuff to your hearts content. Who posts responses like that to a church??? And @TwiceHorn’s description is the answer.
