  1. Unaffiliated minor league team to debut in June against the Weimar Hormigas in Pecos League competition. Alpine is the other Texas team in this league, which also has teams in a strange mix of cities including former big-time minor league towns like Tucson, Colorado Springs, and Bakersfield and then places like Weimar, Wasco CA, and Garden City, Kansas. The Weirdos will play at Zaragoza Park in Austin. Home jersey: Alternate jersey:
  2. Reminds me of Bay City HS in the 80s. Not in the same grade, but in one 4A small-town school at one time you had the nation's number one football recruit (Hart Lee Dykes), basketball recruit (LaBradford Smith), and kind lost in the shuffle, a future Olympic gold medal sprinter in Joe DeLoach. He was the only one who did not kind of disappoint. If the Falcons held that lead against Brady he'd be in.
  3. This. I don't know enough about the current state of the Saints to know why he wouldn't want that job but there are millions of reasons anyone not hoping to pad their retirement or with an insane ego would take the Texans job.
  4. That is what they are saying but I don't believe it. And the consensus was that McCown was the guy until the suit was filed. I think Flores's lawyers were hoping the Texans would be dumb enough to hire McCown anyway but even they are not quite that stupid.
  5. No, he knew this was another in a series of sham interviews that comprise much of the rest of the suit and that the Texans were going to hire McCown. It was an ingenious little fuck you that also resulted in a Black coach getting a job.
  6. Sentimental for the Bengals, all the way....college girlfriend was a Vanderbilt coed from Cincy....I've had lots of great head but she was second best behind a honky tonk special I ran into one night in a Nashville dive but could not bring around polite company....And just a great girlfriend all around. She didn't give a shit about the Bengals, but here's to you, D, I hope life has treated you better than I did and the Bengals win.
  7. Harsin has to release this as a letter because he can't have a press conference becauase he has no hat to wear. Petrino had that neck brace and scuffed face but also a brand new Cotton Bowl champs hat. What's Harsin got? They don't make "I took Saban to 4 OTs" or "Birmingham Bowl Participant" hats. So we get a letter instead.
  8. I saw on IPIHB that Zork is no longer with us for real and got to thinking about posters who've vanished vs those who reincarnate vs those who died. Seems like most of us who've been around for more than one iteration of these boards know enough people IRL where if we got the GreatPermaban in the Sky we'd know it but it seems like there's no consensus on where to put the announcement. For example I did not know that Zork took his own life a while back -- the announcement is in IPIHB which for whatever reason I don't frequent as much as I should. (Generally when I am mood the for porn, I go straight there.) I also found about the death of really long ago poster NickDanger on this board from someone who knew him towards the end. That was not a pleasant story either...but none will be for a few more decades when some idiots might say of us that we spent our lives well. And lord know we are getting old, lol...So I am starting this thread as a place for us to share the posters we've lost for good, for real, from the past (I didn't even know about Soul Glo for a long time after) and the future..
  9. If I was him I would just set up a walled hacienda in Old Mexico and claim diplomatic immunity against any effort to fire me....They can go on and hire interims while I go native in the wilds of Nayarit state, collecting my salary as per United States contract law.
  10. What was Grendel's real name? IIRC he doxxed himself intentionally, so there's no harm in giving it out. Paul something....he really did have some job in the Capitol.
  11. I think he was Chrispy before he developed that type of handle.
  12. That ANICO skyscraper in Galveston was built with Maceo money laundered through Vegas...The Moodys were willing to play ball with the Maceos so long as it was very discreet and preferably 2000 miles away. Mob Texas played a much bigger role in the founding of Vegas than we are generally credited with -- the Maceos with the Desert Inn, Benny Binion with the Gold Nugget, and Jakey Friedman, the former owner of Houston's Domain Privee casino way down South Main, and a protege / partner of the Maceos, had a big part in opening The Sands. (He is also credited with developing "eye in the sky" technology to catch card cheats.) He was also the grandfather of Houston mega-socialite Carolyn Farb, which was almost as mind-blowing to me as finding out about Accardo and the Bosa brothers on this thread.
  13. Most slept on rapper in Texas, maybe America. : Can't wait for the full album.
  14. The formula -- works both legally and logically. Half your age, plus 7. Impossible to go to jail and it just makes sense. When you are 50, you might think you want to be tapping 19 year old ass, but you really don't. 32-year-olds? Hell yeah. Even though the statute of limitations has run out and so have the marriages this violated, I won't say who exactly b/c what's said on the bus stays on the bus but a semi-famous musician once described himself to me as "the Wilt Chamberlain of fat chicks." He described "fat chicks" as more a state of mind than actual body type. Many are in fact fat but others were just needy and extremely oral.
  15. Yeah idk if Barshop meant it that way but "next" head coach seems a little like a hint.
  16. One of the interesting things about Flores is his cultural background. He is the child of Garifuna immigrants from Central America. Their history is fascinating -- way back around 1720 their ancestors survived the wreck of their Spanish slave ship on St. Vincent, killed the Spanish crew, and headed for the hills, where they intermarried with the Carib and Arawak peoples. The Brits steamed in to St Vincent about 20 years later and the Garifuna fought them to a standstill -- they were the first native peoples to force a colonizing power to sign a treaty....Which neither side stuck to, and around 1800 the Brits exiled most of the Garifuna to the shores of Belize, and today they live there and down into Hounduras and Nicaragua. Their native language is a composite of Arawak / Carib, Spanish and English. Most of them share Flores's dark skin tone but genetically they are very native too. Their music is very African-sounding.... In Central America they've played a role something like the Kurds -- a stateless people alternately attacked or used as mercenaries in that region's many wars. (Except in Belize.) New York has the largest colony but there is a substantial one in Houston as well; here, they first came as stowaways via the Ship Channel and settled in the nearby Fifth Ward. A Fifth Ward friend of mine told me they stand out for preferring soccer over basketball; cigars and rum over Newports and beer; and reggaeton over hip hop and R&B. In more recent years a more middle class contingent of Garifina as arrived in America including a HS buddy of mine who is also a Texas Ex. He came to America at about eight but he keeps his culture alive with his cooking, music (jamming out in his garage with those African sounding drums with friends and family), and frequent trips home. He doesn't speak Garifuna, as his parents were city folk when they came to Houston, but in Belize most of them speak English as either their first or second language. Back in HS we knew he was from Belize but he didn't really talk at all about being Garifuna. That came after we grew up. About a year ago we had lunch from this food truck in Houston and he told me about all this stuff. I knew only their music: Point is Flores was raised with a different mindset. He as spoken out against police violence / trigger happiness: "I've lived this," he said, recalling that he'd personally had NYPD cops point weapons at him based on nothing more than suspicion. In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, he released this statement: Frankly given that sort of outspokenness I am surprised an organization like the Texans ever considered him at all.
  17. Jones has his listeners continuously expecting false flag attacks and Jones insinuates than any and all terrorist events that implicate his side or him personally were one of those attacks he predicted. Seriously, he predicts that one will be "coming soon" about once every two weeks, like clockwork. When there is an attack, he finds ways to spin it as false flag and thereby adds more paranoia for the next one. No right-wing terrorist attack is genuine, ever, his audience believes. Just like the larger GOP has made evil and hard times synonymous with the Democratic party.
  18. He wasn't. My bet is this is a panic move. Flores double-fucked them by making himself too radioactive with the other owners while also making it politically impossible to hire McCown, and they were lucky enough to have an eminently qualified Black coach already on the sidelines. He is a Christian, too, though not really the sort this organization seems to prefer. (Black country Baptist vs White suburban megachurch.) I guess Flores decided that either he knew they were passing on him, or maybe if that wasn't the case, that destroying his career was preferable to coaching here. Surely he had to think he would get a second chance in the next go-round of hirings and firings though, right? By most accounts, he is a different type of dude so maybe he fifures he's set for life monetarily (or knows he could get a college job) and wants to act on principle.
  19. These smarmy dorks will have a citywide contest to rename the team and something like Roughnecks would win, but they would just void the contest and change it to something more on brand like the Houston Fellowship anyway.
  20. No, my job is to tune it in on the radio a the halfway point of the second half.
  21. There is a four-way primary in MTG's district, a gerrymandered swath of kudzu-draped red dirt Georgia crackers resulting in a +27 R district. If I had the misfortune to live in that district, damn straight I'd be voting in the R primary. That primary is going to be a scorpion fight, so it will be fun to watch from that angle, and I really do think she goes down. And it won't be to someone crazier than her because she's already got the Trump endorsement locked up and I really don't think she'll lose it. When she does lose, she and Trump will demand an end to open primaries. I don't think either the state or national GOP organization would be of much of a mind to change that there after it rid them of this screeching carbuncle so it would take a grassroots effort, I suppose.
  22. For the first time in I really don't know how many years, I tuned into the game on the radio...Got there late, with us up two, just in time for Jones to sink a three. And then somebody else hit another, and Jones got a third, or something like that, and that closing 25-4 run was on. So I am averaging a +- of 21.0 which is especially impressive because I achieved it in only nine minutes of court time.
  23. Doesn't have to be in time order, but Jimbo definitely gets a season even though he wasn't SEC at the time.
