  1. SIAP Wall Street Journal has no integrity left, does it? https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/best-colleges-us-texas-18351137.php
  2. ";..Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, as well as carpenter/kitchen remodeler." So that explains why some of them have been picky with their responses, like all the hem-hawing about contacting the FBI. Thanks very much for the explanation!
  3. I don't think good is dumb. It just has this natural tendency to believe the best in people. It's a lot like Trump getting elected, no one thought it was really possible until it happened. Trump wasn't lying until he was. Q-Anon was a small group of conspiracy nuts, until they weren't. People look at this stuff and think there's no way this happens, especially when so much of what they are doing runs counter to what has been engrained in them as a Christian ethos. None of this fits with that. But they hear "christians" and assume that whoever uses that label is harmless. Dumb might be the right word. But when you tolerate others and their points of view, no matter how different from yours, that's more patriotic than dumb. To let it get this far, to let these people keep building their machines, to not vote them out, that IS dumb, or apathetic.
  4. Paxton is still on the FBI hook, right? Is there a chance anything said here can make that worse for him, or the FBI already knows anything that could come out during all this? So he can be exonerated here, but still found guilty later on criminal charges, right? Seems that would make our R senate idiots that will be sold as god fearing patriots? Further evidence of the deep state tearing down our country? Sorry, I'm obviously not a lawyer, so nice now and then to escape the impeachment foolishness and look at the larger picture.
  5. Texas 27 Alabama 17 Alabama yardage 277
  6. This set is where I'm thinking Keilan. He's got good enough hands and shiftiness to demand good coverage.
  7. Yeah, I had a couple in April. Still just as good. Used to be able to get them in the frozen food at HEB Marketplace too. Not sure if that's still a thing.
  8. OT specials, tater tots and beer. Or Conan's pizza. Manske buns at 2Js
  9. Didn't they already lose the Space Defense HQ? They decided to keep it in CO, right? But by the time they figured out how to pull all the bases out, Tuberville would be dead. Not that they can't begin to reduce staffing and projects there, I guess.
  10. I tend to agree with this due to the number of eyes watching more than Texas being a newcomer. SEC wants to be perceived as the pinnacle of college football, and they can't do that if it's overly obvious that games are biased. Not to say that there won't be some home cooking, but I don't think it will be overly egregious. They will choose those plays that are subjective and let the calls (non-calls) benefit the Tide. I felt the same way. The Rice game just had a scrimmage feel to it. More about lessons and learning than scoreboard. I think it's why we saw 30 different players take defensive snaps in the first half alone. Also why we didn't see more of Ford, Catalon and others, letting the younger unknowns prove themselves, or in the case of Gbenda to showcase his improvements.
  11. That homer Squidward sounding announcer is wearing on me. These guys only studied up on BYU. Interception should have been overturned
  12. While they don't have to steer, that's a lot of weight to get started and maintain the right speed to make it over the next incline without going so fast you derail on a corner. I got my son a train simulator a while back and thought like you did, until I tried it.
  13. I steered clear of The Mick due to the title and the promo pic. I figured it would be another worn trope full of canned laugh tracks. I was wrong (again). Maybe if Shameless and Soap were to have a child. It's definitely worth the 25 minutes to check out the pilot.
  14. I wonder where we would be Covid-wise if everyone would have been on board with the vaccine. Would be an interesting study, and I imagine someone from CDC is working one up. Probably not too efficient though unless they are using asteriks on all the deaths probably due to covid, but blamed on something else to hide the actual cause. Or for the conspiracy geeks, deaths written up at Covid that were totally unrelated. Getting good data points would be a bitch.
  15. While we're at it, let's take the Mens BBall, Vball, T&F, Swimming and Diving and baseball titles as we leave. Probably too much to ask for softball against the Sooners. Just leave the cupboard bare.
  16. So while in the B12 didn't Texas always opt to take the road of fairly sharing revenue with the other schools, even though they had the opportunity not to? Seems that was part of the issue A&M had around the LHN and one of the lamest parts of aggy logic to leave for the SEC. It would be interesting for someone to run the figures on how the smaller schools would have done financially if UT had opted to take everything it could when offered and not tried to make it as palatable across the board as possible. Somebody with a better memory and understanding of all that can hopefully explain this better. Just sounds to me like those schools remaining in the B12 are angry because their cash cows are moving to greener pastures and they'll be poorer for it.
  17. I'll never look at Greg Popovich the same again.
  18. There's a ton of people who never will go, or never went to A&M who pull for them. And the first and only thing they take to heart is that every good aggy hates tu. That's the only thing they can retain. Like no matter they were never students, or don't even know where College Station is, but as long as they show proper disrespect for Texas, all is forgiven and they are given their aggy card. This is a feature, not a bug. I want to say the movie was The Alamo, filmed at Brackettville at the heart of this.
  19. Trump wouldn't have the balls to murder someone. Have someone murdered? Yeah. Do the deed himself? Nah. You mean like when at all his rallies he promotes physical violence as a way to handle protestors? He's doing this to set up a defense later once he uses SocMed in a way they revoke his bail. He can say he thought the bail was just for flight.
  20. Stands to reason a school with replica military units would think a replica Liberty Bell would be enviable.
  21. It seems to me that Milwee should be in charge of the basic development of the QB skills, and Sark just makes the final adjustments as needed as the player matures. So maybe QB development is 80/20 Milwee/Sark, leaving Sark the other 80% of his efforts to the overall coaching of the team? Otherwise what do we pay Milwee for?
  22. They don't care if they piss him off, they just want to intimidate him into remaining silent. Most of them have been fomenting for a civil war for over a decade. They figure might as well get this thing going and if Meadows talks that brings it all closer to the kickoff. Always amazes me how people like Tritt can connect certain dots, but not others. Like they have some built in sense of bullshit, and that's what they gravitate to.
  23. Isn't he still selling pet rocks to the deplorables? No, that would be like Epstein all over again. If he dies a lot of these cases go away or lose steam. He needs to be alive for the public, so this can have some closure. Otherwise, he comes off as the persecuted martyr for too many if the cases dropped. "Crooked Biden hounded the best president ever to an early grave with those witch hunts." Sure didn't hurt the Sackler family to be uber wealthy. I know they are paying financially, but getting out of criminal charges against anyone is insane. I think Trump and his asskissers all figured Trump's money and name would protect them from anything serious.
  24. Fisk is great in a detectorist type of way. Too bad it's only 6 episodes.
