  1. They’re actually supportive of VaTech using it. Also, that ACC tweet was shit - it’s infinitely better for night games.
  2. Just such a poverty conference and another indication for why we are leaving it.
  3. TCU is so soft for canceling the game.
  4. It’s clearly the Pokes. Sucks for them as they seemed the most likely to be brought to whatever conference at the beginning of the 2010s in addition to UT and OU. The rest are pretty damn meh.
  5. Every sub progressively made FC Dallas worse. Estévez clearly isn’t it.
  6. There is no such thing as a P3. The differences in the media deals between the SEC/Big 10 and the Big XII illustrate that pretty damn clear. that’s why UO, UW, FSU and anyone else worth a damn will want to get into one of the big two. Signing with the Big XII just confirms that they are left behind.
  7. It goes Broncos, Broncos, Avs, Nuggets, Broncos, and then heading to the mountains. Deion is a story, but they really don’t grab the Denver market as it is a bunch of transplants.
  8. You could say the same about the new Big Ten and SEC versus the rest of Division I.
  9. Larry Scott legitimately killed the conference with the albatross of the TV deal and the corporate headquarters.
  10. When does he accept a position at TAMU?
  11. I’m pretty strongly against legacy admissions, but it would be fascinating to see what defense Harvard and others would use in a court of law.
  12. Great interview by one of our professors , Dr Webber, on the state of Texas grid.
  13. Think most people knew that Wagner were in no ways the “good guys,” but were hoping that it would topple the regime and at least open various factions to complete for the top position. Tough when the power has a nukes, but not likely that the opposition that we generally support would have the military power to start the revolution. Would be hoping for them to emerge later.
  14. So does the CIA get a refund on their deposit?
  15. More details on the meeting. Seems unlikely based on the movements we’ve seen though.
  16. Two things: It is pretty indicating that Wagner hasn’t encountered significant resistance. Seems insane that going through a somewhat militarized portion of the country with barely firing a shot, but that has to be attributed to the morale on the front. Doesn’t seem like they trust the generals / higher command as they have been somewhat removed from the front. Wagner are god awful, but there is something somewhat fitting that the revolution is progressing from Ukraine / Crimea / Rostov given the history of the Whites during the Russian Revolution.
  17. Which Tom Clancy novel is this again?
  18. Shame as he’s one of the greatest American writers ever. In the middle of the border trilogy while on paternity leave, and the way he can describe the relationship between man and nature is second to none. Edit: this line really stuck with me from the tail end of All The Pretty Horses: In the end we all come to be cured of our sentiments. Those whom life does not cure death will. The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not. Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.
  19. How have we made it this far without this gem being posted?
  20. Honestly, Reddit dying would be a good thing. The upvote/downvote system and the rankings of the comments by then turns everything into a binary of right / wrong and can promote misinformation so easily. The message board system like Surly is a lot better for discussion.
