  1. That's true and we'll act like those 5 dumbasses represent the whole state and are causing the entire pandemic. An aside is where are people seeing these "muh freedoms" mask refusers? I've yet to see a single person refuse to wear a mask, or not wearing one, and of course we had a pretty high # of "cases" (915). Do people honestly think if we had 100% compliance (an aside is what you think the actual compliance % is) things would be much different? I'm not seeing it. Complaining that people ignore the mandate and then caterwauling when it is lifted* is a bit inconsistent. * I don't think they should have lifted it either, but I don't see mandates/policy as direct levers to human behavior
  2. Yes but when it doesn't you'll excuse it somehow like you excused the shitshow in NY. Pot, kettle.
  3. HAHAHA this (more or less) happened to me once. Sang it really loud and really, really off key.
  4. ^ I take your point to be "he had one hot streak that landed him this job. A second hot streak 10 years later* shouldn't get him extended, or even save his job at this point." * 220-221, whatever it takes
  5. Their opinions and feelings appear to be fairly significant unfortunately. edit gotdammit
  6. Same here I was thinking it was posted upthread or elsewhere a few weeks ago or so (when I orig read it).
  7. Listening to Quan, sort of saying that Overshown mainly doesn't want to be told what to think about the song, and was surprised and hurt by backlash from his tweet or whatever. Quan said he didn't find song racist, but doesn't really say if his opinion has changed (after serving on the committee). I guess reading between the lines I'd say his opinion changed, but right now he isn't saying it is racist in his opinion. He's trying to stay safe w/ both sides. Bucky kind of saying racist letter writers aren't going away anytime soon and are probably pretty happy with the amount of shit they are able to stir up. Quan's made a point was that weren't letter writers trying to cancel the players, cancel culture. Also reiterates that you can't tell somebody how to feel, so if players think it is racist then that is that, I guess, and agree to disagree. Then he says a lot of minority testimony to the committee in favor of keeping song, overall sounds like the committee was a productive and informative one. Closes by comparing opinion to fact, saying that 2005 game was best NC game ever in his opinion, but of course that is fact and not a matter of opinion, but that is the only fault I find.
  8. ? We're not doing that? Fuck that guy, just in case you didn't mark me down.
  9. Did somebody really tell him that players "have to sing to play?" The number of racist alums (about 150 or so that we know of today?) is never going to be zero. Never. Do you think we can we handle that?
  10. I vote to rename this Brad's ATX thread of lots of Covid politics.
  11. Not to be cynical but not sure if serious? Relatively speaking, checkout clerks are poors w/ no political clout. Although you could just as easily say that it makes too much sense, so why would we do that?
  12. What the goddamn fuck is a gear switch? too ashamed to say "thing-a-ma-bobber?"
  13. I mean, half million living alums and we have 150 or so racists? Not bad.
  14. I assumed he was referring to the Texas Trib article and the HUNDREDS of letters from angry boomer alums
  15. I think so too, and this will be done with the acquiescence of one faction of the Mex govt that we turn against the other.
