  1. Just appreciate the woman who looks kinda like a younger Sandra Bullock with the nice cans man...
  2. https://www.actionnews5.com/story/12494578/exclusive-leigh-anne-tuohy-talks-about-sandra-bullock-adoption/ While its not a direct "we the Tuohy's adopted Michael Oher" quote (that may exist in the time period, just gonna be super hard to find now with all the stories on the inter webs from the last day and a half), going on a nationwide speaking tour about adoption including a televised commencement speech and writing a book about it sure dues seem like thats what they are trying to say
  3. Still of the opinion that the Tuohys crowing for all these years about adopting Oher when really they didn't and really had a conservatorship over him all this time is rather shitty. Might shake out that there was nothing legally wrong with what has gone on here... but still feels shitty. Time will tell. Bet the Tuohys wish they had just slipped Michael whatever his share of the movie proceeds would have/should have been at some point rather than get put on blast though, if they really had all that money from fast food joints would have been a pretty easy check to write to save themselves a headache.
  4. No CR but sometime between Nixon resigning and the 2nd plane hitting the WTC. Can't tell you exactly when but before that time America was mostly folksy, reasonably nice to one another, pretty racist but at least attempted to hide it except in the Deep South. After that time to the present day full ass tribal politics and "if you aren't with me, you are a Nazi/Commie/Fascist/etc and I hate you and everything you say" Really hope Oher doesn't go to his grave still being screwed by these scumbags the way Mike Leach went to his grave still fighting being screwed over by Tech/Scumbag administration at Tech circa 2009. RIP Mike. CJK5H.
  5. Hey at least J. Peterman's stolen valor story was cheeky and fun, not cruel and tragic like this shit...
  6. Crazy scumbag move by this family if this turns out to be accurate.
  7. I might be wrong but think I remember reading they have a fairly university friendly lease with the city on the dome. City is just happy to have a tenant that they can skim concessions revenue from but other than that and parking rev the university doesn't pay the city hardly anything for using the dome per game and they get to keep ticket and suite revenue.
  8. Texas State and UTSA generating near identical revenue after one school has won back to back conference titles and the other has been wandering the proverbial football desert for 9ish years (thanks for 7-5 and a bowl game snub in 2014, Franchione) is rather surprising and would start to be concerning to me if I was a road bird fan down in SA. Sure you are gonna make more with the AAC media payout but not by that much...and if Texas State ever wakes up from its football coma then things get really interesting. I would say its super surprising that both are so close to UH...but when you think about it more its really not, they took away all of Tilmans mob money for this exercise so thats what's left.
  9. His next one would probably be his first as sitting (haha) Governor...maybe he did one as AG but that was a while ago at this point.
  10. Name checks out, tricked Mike Leach out of all that money
  11. Have to wonder if this year is a curtain call for Traylor in SA as well, they have a good year with said 7th year QB his stock and name is never gonna be hotter and theres gotta be some decent to good P5 offers headed his way...Heck might even be one a few hours away in Collie Station...
  12. Very, very large stretch for UTSA to be in the PAC-whatever this ends up as, Rice too but less so. UTSA got a lot of work to do on things other than having a couple good years in football, like not playing basketball and baseball in facilities that most Texas high schools would be embarrassed to play in...
  13. Can't tell who's the bigger genius, Cal for kicking the proverbial can so far down the road that $75 million might be walking around money...or whoever took on the financing on that debt structure paying more than a billion dollars over 100 years for a 450 million dollar project on a stadium that might be vacant for 80 of those years...
  14. Theres gotta be footage somewhere of Jerrah trying to draft him and Stephen telling him off that was gonna eventually be used in some documentary but is now lost on a shelf somewhere, right?
  15. I mean it kinda does, but at least UH has been good in Basketball as of late, has been consistently decent in Football, and probably moves the proverbial sports needle a little bit more in Houston than SMU does in DFW. But like in a lot of things in life its better to be lucky than to be good and UH found themselves a desperate "power" conference and got themselves a golden ticket out of the AAC/G5 Purgatory and looking like SMU will be there forever if no one will take them even at $0 payout for years...
  16. I mean I got an idea of how they can resolve that:
  17. Couldn't decide if this was better here or the Aggy thread...Realignment related so here won Followed up by: If that doesn't encapsulate the duality of man as it relates to College Football Conference Realignment, I don't know what does lol
  18. Call it fiscal relegation then, and you are right they don't deserve it, but it happened and if any of the B1G gravy train riders are paying attention they will realize their free ride might eventually come to a similar end. Whenever the ACC starts to break apart I'm sure there will be people at the B1G office looking for ways to jettison them to bring in the top of the ACC.
  19. I really hope it was Cal's president who did that, karma hit him like a ton of bricks immediately
  20. The government having aliens or Tech being a low key realignment baddie?
  21. Glad someone is out there trying to spread the truth that Tech has a good amount of conference realignment blood on its hands but this is the college football news equivalent of the Navy pilot testifying under oath to congress that we got the aliens...and there is so much else going on in the world (Pac 12 getting destroyed in a day on Friday) that no one is gonna notice...
