  1. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jan/08/prince-harry-and-meghan-say-they-are-stepping-back-from-royal-family Apparently it's a big deal across the pond. I don't know why the Brits care so much what a guy 6th in line to the crown does with his life and his hot wife.
  2. several reports that HC Rocky Long is shopping himself to P5 programs as a DC. Rumor that he interviewed with Babers at Syracuse today. Why the fuck would he leave the Mesa for Syracuse? Speculation is, he's almost 70 and tired of the responsibility of being HC. Some seem to think that the AD is pushing him to replace the OC, and this is his way of pushing back. Anyway, if we lose him, I hope Hoke gets the job, again.
  3. That's good. Where is Brad? Oh, south of France I think. Well, shouldn't he be here? Oh, Brad is the executive plumber. We do all the work.
  4. True Story: Texas - W2 West Virginia - W1 Kansas State - L1 Oklahoma - L1 Baylor - L2 Iowa State - L2 Oklahoma State - L2 TCU - L2 Texas Tech - L3 Kansas - L4 So we have that going for us, which is nice. Thanks for shitting the bed in the bowls, Big XII teams not named Texas! Somebody inform Kyle Umlang on Twitter.
  5. Okie lite lost to aggy, ISU blown out by domers, and OU was blown out by LSU. We'll see how Baylor does against Georgia and KState still has to play but regardless I think it's already clear this conference had a down year, and we could only muster 5-4 in this dumpster fire. I just wanted to vent. I'm sure others feel my frustration. Make or break for Herman and co. in 2020. Big 12 champ game or bust

More than half of the adoptions – 3,095 – were by relatives, also a new record for CPS, according to a Texas Department of Family and Protective Services news release Wednesday. The number of children leaving foster care outnumbered the number entering care by more than 1,700 children, a trend the state hopes will continue. “This is certainly great news, and affirmation that our year-round adoption efforts are paying off,” said Kristene Blackstone, CPS Associate Commissioner. “And in many cases we are reunifying these children with their families.” While the number of children entering the state’s care has dropped in recent years, to 18,615 in FY 2019, the number of adoptions has steadily increased, up by 25% in the last decade. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads As National Adoption Month wrapped up Thanksgiving weekend, more than 400 children and youth in Texas found permanent homes during Texas’ busiest month for adoptions. But as Commissioner Blackstone said, the need for permanent homes is year-round, and with Christmas only a few weeks away she hopes more foster children will benefit from the season’s good will. “November is our busiest adoption month, by far, but there is nothing more joyful than an adoption at Christmastime,” she said.
  9. I respect Jeff Monken as a football coach and a leader of young men. I imagine a lot of folks are embarrassed by what they thought was a unifying slogan that turns out to be anything BUT that. I have followed Army football pretty closely since 2013 and never even noticed the letters on the skull flag. Nobody worth a shit wants their name tied to something so divisive. Do you feel like it was handled correctly? Army football program dropped motto of white supremacist origin Dan MurphyESPN Staff Writer The Army football program removed a slogan from merchandise and a team flag earlier this year after administrators were told that the phrase originated with white supremacist gangs. For the past several years, the Black Knights have taken the field for each game flying a pair of banners: the American flag and a black skull-and-crossbones flag with four letters inscribed on what would be the upper lip of the skull: GFBD. The acronym is shorthand for "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" and has been part of the football program's lexicon since the mid-1990s. West Point officials and members of the athletic department said they were unaware that the phrase links to motorcycle gangs and Aryan Brotherhood sects until that connection was brought to their attention in September. Athletic director Mike Buddie said head football coach Jeff Monken addressed the team in September after learning about the phrase's roots and told them it would immediately be removed from the program. According to Buddie, Monken was "mortified" and planned to use the instance as a "teaching moment" for his players. "It's embarrassing, quite frankly," said Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams, the superintendent of the United States Military Academy. "... We take stuff like this very, very seriously. Once I found out about this goofiness, I asked one of our most senior colonels to investigate." After finding and adopting this flag as a symbol of team camaraderie upon arriving at Army, Black Knights football coach Jeff Monken has since removed a slogan from it after learning that it originated with white supremacist gangs. Dustin Satloff/Getty Images After a two-month investigation, military officials said they determined that the motto was used without knowing its origin, and therefore its use by the team was "benign" and had nothing to do "with the views or beliefs of white supremacist groups or any other disreputable organizations with which they might also be associated," according to an executive summary of the investigation's final report. An expert on far-right hate groups from the Anti-Defamation League said the GFBD phrase -- an omerta used to discourage snitching -- likely started among outlaw biker gangs and was at some point adopted by members of the Aryan Brotherhood. Mark Pitcavage, who earned a doctoral degree in American military history before studying far-right extremism as part of his role with the Anti-Defamation League, said he was not aware of the phrase being used by any military groups in the past or having roots elsewhere. The skull-and-crossbones imagery was first used by Army football players to symbolize "toughness, tenacity, camaraderie and accountability" in the early 1990s and appeared on T-shirts before it was put on the team flag, according to investigators. The GFBD phrase wasn't made part of that symbolism by football players until 1996, according to Buddie. A group of players adopted the phrase after seeing it in the action movie "Stone Cold," starring former NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth. In the film, Bosworth plays a police officer who goes undercover to join a Mississippi biker gang called "The Brotherhood." The fictitious gang prominently displays Confederate and Nazi flags in its clubhouse throughout the movie, and members wear jackets that feature a burning cross and SS lightning bolts. Bosworth's love interest in the movie has a "GFBD" tattoo, and another member of the gang says "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" during a climactic fight scene. Buddie said West Point's investigators spoke to the former cadet who initiated the use of the phrase in the football program, and he told them he did not know of its connection to any white supremacist groups. West Point officials declined to share the name of the former cadet and said it would be redacted in publicly accessible versions of the investigation report. Officials declined to share the name of the colonel who conducted the investigation or make him available for an interview. They also declined requests to speak to Monken and other current members of the football program. Monken, who has been the Black Knights' coach since the 2014 season, told ESPN in August -- before he or any other members of the athletic department say they were aware of the phrase's origin -- that someone on his staff discovered the GFBD flag in an equipment room shortly after their arrival. The flag had not been used by recent teams, but Monken decided to bring it back to try to inspire camaraderie among his players. An upperclassman on the team told ESPN in August that the flag had come to represent the team's mentality in everything they do. "That's become our symbol," he said. "I don't know if you can see it, but it says 'GFBD' over the teeth: God Forgives, Brothers Don't. That's just something we always say, and that's become part of us." Neither the player nor the interviewer was aware of the motto's white supremacy origins at the time. ESPN is choosing not to use his name because West Point officials have declined to make him or any other players available for follow-up questions. When ESPN first asked to learn more about the history of the skull and crossbones -- before discovering the "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" origin -- multiple spokespeople in the athletic department discouraged the inclusion of any mention of the GFBD phrase. One spokesman said he would "sincerely appreciate leaving that out of the story because it is an internal thing." Another athletic department official said in September that he had not heard Monken or any of the team members use the GFBD phrase before. The phrase appeared on several official social media accounts for the team and its staff, on merchandise and on the flag the team carried to the field and displayed in its main meeting room. It was engraved on the inside of rings given to the team for winning the Armed Forces Bowl. When asked why ESPN was discouraged from using the phrase if no one at West Point was aware of its problematic origins, an academy spokesman said the athletic department officials were concerned that any motto that uses the word "God" might be misinterpreted as the military espousing religion and might create problems for an institution that works hard to keep matters of church and state separate. Since dropping the slogan, the academy has updated the process it uses to vet and approve publicly accessible mottos or phrases used by teams and clubs at West Point. According to the executive summary of its investigation, the academy is considering creating a replacement motto for a "new era" of Army football.
  10. For those who do a fair bit of travel but might be going to a new city/airport, perhaps some good insights might be helpful. I type this because I had one of the better airport meals at MSY at Emeril's Table. Great gumbo and excellent pork chop. Destroys IAH's Pappadeaux offering.
  11. The biggest ATX prospect ever and he's going to go to UNC because we are going to be firing Shaka right around the time Brown signs his LOI. Not to mention potential 2021 five star KJ Adams at Westlake. GBIII has been (according to those who follow this sort of thing) a virtual Texas lock for a long time now. The longer we keep this lame duck coach around, the harder it becomes trying to picture these guys staying home. imo GBIII is the kind of guy who can change your program overnight, and it's going to be a real gut punch if we end up losing out on him wearing burnt orange because of an extension we gave Shaka when Greg Brown was 13.
  12. On the way back to Austin. Fuck Tom Herman
  13. If we can’t hire Urban then: QB - promote Fedora to QB coach and play caller RB - fire Drayton/hire Samples WR - move Beck here and give Co-coordinator title TE - promote Beaty OL - keep Hand here DL - keep Giles, but only responsible for DE’s. Go get Bo Davis back to coach DT’s. LB/DC - hire Muschamp DB’s - Fire Naivar and Washington and hire Akina.
  14. And we wonder why we can't get back to prominence. We've never been squeaky clean ever when we've been at the top. If you want to win you've got to play the game and hire cold hitting pipe hitters. Fuck you dorks that want to be Michigan - go cheer for them.
  15. Obviously once again Tom shits the bed, proving that we failed another G5 coach experiment. Last year's 10 win season, Big 12 CCG appearance and Sugar Bowl win all now seem to be fools gold. Now don't get me wrong, I wanted Tom to succeed here, same with Charlie when he was first hired. However, Tom, just like Charlie, has tripped over his dick and fallen flat on his face. Only difference is he doesn't have losing seasons. With that being said, can we just hire a complete dipshit like Jeff Fisher, Bret Bielema, or Bobby Petrino? That way I won't have any high hopes and can laugh when they inevitably shit the bed. I've been drinking to forget today's game.
  16. someone should punch Herman in the throat the next time he says that.

  18. Kevin and Chad on the radio today were discussing the choice by Ron Rivera to go for 2 when Carolina scored on Green Bay to make it 24-16. Chad had no idea why they did it and thought it was stupid. He's wrong. It's the right thing to do. If we assume GB doesn't score, Carolina scores another TD as the clock is running out, overtime is a 50/50 win/loss, current nfl average for 2 point conversions is 47.5% and current XP% this year is 93.3%. here's how it works out: Kick XP on first make first, miss second, lose 100% of the time (happens 6.7%) Miss first miss 2pt conversion (52.5%) - lose 100% (happens 93.3% x 52.5% = 49% ) make 2pt conversion (47.5%) go to overtime, lose 50% of the time (happens 44%) So if you kick the first XP you're winning 44% of the time and losing 56% of the time. Go for 2 on first TD Make it (47.5%), now you can kick xp on second and win (47.5% x 93.3% = 44% win) miss xp on second, go to overtime and have a 50/50 chance of winning. (47.5% x 6.7% x 50% = 2% win 2% loss) Miss it (52.5%) make 2 pointer on second TD, go to OT, win 50% (52.5% x 47.5% x 50% = 12% win 12% loss) miss 2 pointer on second TD lose (52.5% * 52.5% = 28% loss) So if you go for 2 you will win 58% of the time and lose 42% of the time And if you need further proof it's the right thing to do, let's look at the game of the century, and what they guy with the name on our stadium decided to do: (from wikipedia)

  20. As promised, here are pics of the epic Purdue trip. We met lots of equally nice and strange people–They think Austin is a den of liberal indulgence. The game itself had a truly amazing atmosphere - that was the loudest event that I've ever attended. Saw a few Horns down, which we considered an honor. Best part was waving goodbye to their fans as they left with four seconds left. Of course, they reserve their hatred for IU. Would love to see one of those games. Enjoy! PS. This morning, I spotted a forlorn, middle-aged Purdue fan leaving the hotel. He was carrying a stupid, gold-painted construction helmet and was wearing a very sad expression. Priceless.
