  1. Wrong. Racial based quotas irrespective of merit is the new gold standard for aggrieved minorities. See what is going on with the UC system and them ditching the SAT/ACT. Instead of fixing the failing K-12 schools most blacks and Latinos attend and where real impact can be made, feel good measures of applying blanket admissions irrespective of merit and competency. NYT has advocated for an end to legacy admissions. It’s not a level playing field that they’re after. Brute force hiring and college acceptance quotas - witness Adidas commitment to hire 30% blacks. @BradInATX you’re not going to like the world where your kids and grandkids are actively discriminated against from opportunities because of the color of their skin and background. Wait and see. The backlash is coming.
  2. We could get rid of every player on this team and would still have 100s more dying to play for us. The Eyes are more important than this set of players who haven’t won shit. The example set by the administration not caving in and replacing the malcontents would meet the approval of the vast majority of our fans.
  3. As I said. I’d rather have walkons or go Ivy League and have athletes without scholarships than to give into these assholes trying to tear us apart. I want guys who can’t wait to hit the field and wear burnt orange. Not assholes making ultimatums. I’d rather have that and keep the Eyes than get rid of it and feed these overprivileged kids
  4. I am watching LHN right now and they’re showing our 2004 game against aggy. Watching it has made me long for what has been missing from UT football. Of course, number 1 is having a kick ass team with VY leading us to glory. However, it is more than that. Seeing the replay of this game brought back a bunch of good memories going to Austin or College Station on T+1. Nothing better than chanting “Poor Aggies” at Kyle after beating them and gloating afterwards at some bar in Nothgate. When I was growing up we played 3 rivalry games a year. We only have 1 now. We used to play in the best conference in the country. Remember the excitement of having a top 10 Nebraska team coming to Austin and us beating them. The point of all this is reminiscing is to say is it still fucking worth it with all that’s going on. Getting rid of the Eyes is going to do more damage to our fan base than anyone can imagine. I know the Cabal is ready and willing to get rid of the Eyes and are proud of these players blah blah blah. I am not. They have driven wedge between our alumni, school and football team. Now Overshown is threatening to not participate. I am going to say this loud so those in the cheap seats can hear. GO FUCK YOURSELF. I would rather have a team of walkons whose dream was to wear burnt orange and walk on the field at DKR than some punk throwing ultimatums. These kids need to be told no. What makes college football special is the traditions and community spirit that is forged at the games. Memories of good times with friends tailgating and memorable plays you were there to watch. I don’t care about the political opinions of UT players. I don’t care about your fucking opinions and no one wants to hear mine. The demand to get rid of the Eyes will rip through the fabric that binds us. It will piss off the vast majority of our fan base - including the ones that matter with deep pockets. We have already had so much taken from us that made UT football special. We have gone through a decade of losing, the cunty reign of Steve Patterson and the gross incompetence of Chollie. You put people through shit like that, they’re going to reassess. This fucking bullshit demand of the players AT THIS TIME, is so deviously destructive. It is a kill shot to our program. We obsess about the Horns because it is an escape from the world we live in. None of us are fans because of the political views of the players. The adults in the room need to step up and speak the truth. Tell the kids to fuck off and play football or take a hike.
  5. Ok so the beaches in front of the condos are open but the county beaches are closed. I guess I am good.
  6. Wait what the fuck does this mean? I am headed to SPI tomorrow and will be in a condo. Are the SPI beaches closed. Fuck my life if this is true. I need this trip.
  7. Not surprising you live in an upper middle class neighborhood of highly educated professionals. Now go to the same places in Tomball and see the difference
  8. Same in the Valley and Laredo. Laredo was the first city in the country to require masks
  9. LOL me dahati. That’s cute. Me and my family are the exact opposite of that. Did your Persian ex-girlfriend teach you that.
  10. Hildalgo doesn’t have the authority to issue one like she did back in March. It’s in the hands of Abbott now.
  11. What I hate most about this is the unpredictability. Can’t plan for anything. Was going to build a house this year and that has gone up in flames along with some nice trips overseas. I know everyone is going through this same shit and cry me a River and all that. I have a trip planned to SPI for the 4th and have been looking forward to it for a mental break. Now that’s a hotspot and Laguna Bob’s is closed. Thinking about shutting that down and eating the AirBNB cost. A guy who offices next to me might have been exposed. I’m mentally spent with all of this.
  12. Abbott is shutting down bars again. Is Laguna Bob’s a restaurant or bar? Fuck I’m going down there for the 4th and it’s my favorite place to chill and drink in the evenings. They do serve food but I think they might be 51%
  13. thehulltruth.com? Never heard of it and from the sound of it have no desire to check it out.
  14. He is a shakedown artist. He is only it for the money.
  15. I wish I could like this a million times
  16. Shaun King is also the same nut job who wants to tear down statues of Jesus.
  17. I’m going to be there for the 4th. Going to be grilling carne asada on my tailgating grill on the beach. Can’t wait. Louie’s was terrible. Laguna Bob’s for the win. Also like the daiquiri and frozen margarita place at the marina between the Sea Ranch and Dirty Al’s.
  18. Agreed. The muh rights and individual autonomy maximalism strain in conservatism is meeting its death. Communal good strain of conservatism is gaining strength. I am partial to Integralism (even though I’m not a Catholic) and common-good constitutionalism espoused by those like Adrian Vermeule
  19. Being assholes is what made us great. We are not a docile, submissive people like Asians who do what they are told and wear masks without being forced to do so. We were going to struggle with this no matter what. Still we have done a shittier job as a country than I expected.
  20. The mainstream media in this country should be ashamed of itself. Their arrogance and lack of objectivity have ruined the role of the 4th Estate is supposed to play in our democracy. Just look at how the woke mob sacked the editors at the Inquirer and NYT Op-Ed section. It is getting worse. I despise what they have done to our country. How can we have social cohesion when we have journalists with their agendas tearing at the fabric of our country. I get enraged every day I read my NYT at breakfast and have to soothe myself by reading the WSJ and their comments section where I can find my people.
  21. Was there a few weeks ago. It was hot but the sea breeze made it very pleasant. I hadn’t been to SPI since the 80s and was very happy with the entire experience. Going again for the 4th. It’s a great getaway.
  22. Sea Ranch for a nice dinner. Yummies for brunch. Painted Marlin was also good.
