  1. Bert went on scholarship this month too. Good on him.
  2. I meant in B/CS where no one goes against the cult.
  3. Exactly. This is pretty unheard of, someone from the local media calling out any bad bull.
  4. No need to waste money on that fool.
  5. Didn't Hatfield run it at Arkansas and Rice?
  6. I know this seems petty, but since when did led become lead? Aren't the doing the same with pled and plead?
  7. I'm surprised Yeoman's Veer wasn't mentioned. The Run and Shoot was under the Mouse Davis, but I figure Yeoman deserves some credit here since this list seemingly is to denote teams that came up with innovative things that changed the game. But a lot of these teams like OU simply took others' ideas and were more successful with them on bigger stages due to better athletes (at the time being recruited in questionable ways). Also have no idea why VT gets a nod because they had Vick. Could have said the same for Johnny Football and aggy, but the latter had one year of success, the former two. Unless it's silently marking that Vick's success marked the acceptance of black QBs, that they could master high power offenses that required them to use their heads as much as their athleticism?
  8. Not sure where to put this, so settled on here. Is there another university program out there as reviled as UT? Maybe ND? Fucked up and left stuff outside the quote. Too lazy to correct. Apologies. It Just Means More The University of Texas is used to always having its way in everything. But in the SEC, their arrogance will not be tolerated. Texas is about to discover what it is like to be treated as an equal. It will be fascinating to see how Texas adapts to its new home. The past bullying of Texas won’t work in college football’s best league. Yet old habits are hard to break. Enjoy your new home and circumstances, Bevo. You made the bed you are about to crap in.
  9. I have a guy who always asks me why I don't build up a personal armory and my response is "if the world is going to be run by the people with the biggest guns and not the biggest hearts, pretty sure I'd not like to live in that world". Can you imagine how colorless and bland that world will be? Plus P2025 will hit its brick wall when they ban online porn. And I don't mean just hardcore, but even the soft stuff like we see in IPIHB.
  10. Always exceptions to the rules. Still have to think a lot of kids' shots are screwed up permanently because of this.
  11. She has a great singing voice as well. During her speech, she sang a bit of an one of her sorority's songs, and she can definitely carry a tune too.
  12. She's a very gracious person. I got to visit with her a couple of times.
  13. She is funny, bright, passionate. Gave a great speech as usual. She also spoke in 2022. Those shirts are now available, too.
  14. There are a bunch of MAGA types who aren't ignorant. It's just that they choose to remain ignorant when it comes to this stuff. And on top of that they are arrogant about it. I agree with this. I think something is coming out of the Biden campaign that is sowing seeds of doubt to a) increase donations and b) fight apathy. Here's an article in Politico yesterday. Of course, most is attributed to anonymous sources: Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden - POLITICO
  15. Had to rep this for the eFfort.
  16. What a dumb question at the end: "What pitch are you most comfortable with as your go to when you need that K?" Like she's going to self scout herself right before the WCWS. They stopped it before we can see how she responded. Hope she said something like, "I have confidence in all my pitches, it really depends on the batter." Edit: And could VIvi had had a better day? Great bat and great fielding. She was fire.
  17. So now we are seeing the same sorts of mailers going out to targeted Democratic voters from some group named "Democratic Elections Runoff Committee" Again, no identification as to where these are originating. I know for certain they are not coming from the TDP. More muddling of the water, hoping enough people complain that the state calls for a halt to SoS info on primary voting being available. The republicans are now pushing for closed primaries and having people declare which party they support when registering to vote. And that registration would be annually, or bi-annually. Which would be a huge pain in the ass. Some weird strategies going on.
  18. Was there a post-game interview anywhere? Was wondering if Coach White took the blame for that blown base running call. Also that last inning it looked like Maloney was pretty wound up emotionally. Good call by whoever to take a little time to get the players together to reassure her. I can imagine that the outfield seems pretty lonely after a bauble like she made in that situation.
  19. Couple of things about those mailouts. 1) There's nothing on them that identifies who sent them out. It's like they knew this shit was shady, so let's do it anonymously. 2) Those were hitting mailboxes Thursday, and the runoff EV started Monday. The voting records don't get updated by the SoS that quickly. 3) They were sending them to not only their base, but also certain demographics, like boomers. 4) Trump wasn't on the ballot in any runoffs statewide. Now they are using him as some Stalin like figure to fear if you don't vote for his chosen ones. I'd be surprised if Trump even knew about this whole thing. They are just appropriating his likeness and putting words in his mouth now. I wonder if they can pursue and charge these people on some sort of mail fraud charges?
  20. That aggy coach was the same one ejected in Florida and was caught cursing fans as he walked off, right?
  21. "They tried to stone him to death first, but the rest of the team was as horrible as he was in throwing projectiles."
  22. German people knew very little about Hitler before he rose to power. They only had papers mainly, and probably some radio. They also had more than two parties to deal with. Hitler was intelligent, driven, charismatic and evil. America has had a steady stream of articles and documentaries about Trump for decades now. Television, streaming and social media are prevalent. There is no reason to not research and learn who Trump is and what he is like. But many don't. That's willful ignorance. If they did with open minds, it wouldn't take long for them to figure out Trump is an idiot in most everything. We dodged a bullet we got him instead of someone with an IQ higher than room temperature. Let's hope our fellow voters rise up and shake off their apathy to resist their shit one more time. I also think Hitler did most of what he did for the good of the German people. Yes, he had a hierarchy of his henchmen and generals who were reaping the monetary benefit. Hitler wasn't into that. I think that mostly he wanted recognition for being bright enough to lead Germany from the depths of depression to a country that all the world envied. Someone who figured out how to build the greatest empire ever. The only Americans Trump is concerned with are those who have a higher social status level than he does (in and out of the US). It's all about him, and he's willing to sell off America to do that.
  23. Read an article yesterday that mentioned this and the fact that the numbers of incidents is trending down and has been for a while. So of course, Fox has to counter that with some bullshit.

  24. I think maintaining control over the Senate and getting Biden re-elected should give them the green light to expand and balance the court. It would be hard to rescind, and once expanded, it's unlikely the MAGA morons could justify another expansion in the near future. It's really one of the only ways to get all this back on track. And since this SC revisited Roe V Wade, it's only fair that a freshly balanced court revisits Citizens United.
