  1. Past hour
  2. It's not like we are going to be less productive against Georgia or Ohio State in running the ball. Seriously though I could see us give up a few more sacks due to an inexperienced offensive line and maybe Manning not being as quick through reads/progressions as Quinn due to his inexperience or Manning maybe being a little too aggressive looking for the deep ball. But Manning's leg's and superior pocket presence should make up for some issues as well were Quinn ate a sack.
  3. The lantern that hung in the tower of the North church. Now that's cool.
  4. Looking forward to "letting everyone with any involvement free and paying them reparation money" becomes what MAGA says they wanted all along.
  5. Day after the bill passed I got an email from social security (the official social security) about how awesome the big beautiful bill is. It made me burst out laughing at the dinner table.
  6. First off, Merlot is absolutely fucking trash. So is Chardonnay. Second, who the FUCK says Octopuses? It's fucking octopi. Anyone saying Octopuses should be corrected and violently mocked.
  7. There's some pretty good not-so-subtle snark in this. https://www.thetimes.com/article/a16fff4b-ca9c-45c4-b85d-3168750dff7b?shareToken=aca77cceb9221c90f4b028c72286e055 Russian fans of heavy metal and goth music could face prison after the Kremlin’s top court outlawed the “international satanism movement” as an extremist and terrorist group — even though no such organisation exists. The Russian Supreme Court’s ruling came after appeals from the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, MPs and other officials. It means that anyone who is alleged to be a member of the non-existent movement could face up to eight years in prison. Critics said the ruling would increase the climate of fear that has gripped Russia since President Putin ordered tanks into Ukraine in 2022. In April, Andrei Kartapolov, a senior MP who heads the Russian parliament’s defence committee, told officials that satanism was a “direct threat to Russian statehood”. He also alleged, without evidence, that Russia’s satanists were funded by the West. Another pro-Kremlin MP claimed that he had received complaints from members of the public about the growing number of “satanic sex orgies” in Moscow and other cities. Although President Putin was once a KGB officer in the officially atheist Soviet Union, he now professes a deep Christian faith. He has described Moscow’s standoff with the West over Ukraine as a battle against the “outright satanism” of same-sex marriage and other LGBT rights. In January, Patriarch Kirill, the powerful head of the Russian Orthodox Church, said that he supported calls to ban satanism because it was an “ideology that destroys our national identity and weakens our people”. Kirill also said that Russian soldiers in Ukraine were fighting for values that were directly opposed to satanic beliefs. That is not true of all Putin’s troops, however. In 2023, as part of the Kremlin’s efforts to recruit convicts for the war, Russia freed from prison a member of a gang that killed four teenage girls in a ritual killing. Nikolai Ogolobyak and his accomplices fried and ate the hearts and tongues of their victims and stabbed one of them 666 times as a sacrifice to the devil, police said. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2010, but was pardoned by Putin after serving six months at the front in Ukraine. Human rights lawyers warned that the Supreme Court’s ruling meant that Russians who listen to heavy metal, goth and industrial music, which often use occult imagery, could be at risk. “Will they put people in jail for T-shirts with pentagrams and goat heads? We won’t risk saying for sure, but the practice of cases involving other fictitious ‘extremists’ can tell us a lot,” said Ivan Pavlov, a prominent Russian human rights lawyer. The Supreme Court ruling, which is due to come into force next month, is expected to be applied retrospectively, meaning that people could potentially be prosecuted for social media posts containing satanic imagery that were made years ago. The full text of the Supreme Court’s decision has not been published, however, and it is unclear what images have been banned. In any case, the law is unlikely to affect Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and prime minister, who has previously spoken of his love for Deep Purple. The British rock group’s songs include Lucifer and Demon’s Eye. Russia has already banned what it calls the “international LGBT social movement” as an extremist and terrorist group, placing it on a par with Islamic State and violent neo-Nazi groups. The same designation has also been used in recent years to outlaw Alexei Navalny, the late opposition leader, and his nationwide network of activists, as well as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. At the same time, Russia recently removed the Taliban from its official list of extremist and terrorist groups, as it seeks closer ties with the de facto rulers of Afghanistan. Since taking power, the Taliban has banned girls from secondary and higher education and barred women from most professions. Coincidentally or not, Russia’s depiction of its enemies in Ukraine and the West as demonic figures comes as the Kremlin boosts its military ties with Iran, where the United States is routinely referred to as the Great Satan. Even some of Putin’s biggest supporters mocked the proposal to officially ban satanism when it was first floated this year. “I have to officially state that I am not worried at the moment about the ‘growing number of satanic sex orgies’,” Yevgeny Popov, a pro-Kremlin MP and state television presenter, wrote in April. “To my shame, I didn’t know that their number had increased.”
  8. I have to question the bread choice for what otherwise is an exquisite sandwich.
  9. I was like 7 when Octopussy came out and my dad took me and my brothers to see it. I remember, even at that age, what to see the pussy. Very disappointing.
  10. Fall Camp is 'Prove It' Time for a Number of Longhorns (Monday AM) - CJ Vogel More Livingstone love:
  11. stop the boat, i want off. I just got an email titled "How will The Big Beautiful Bill affect your business?" I can't fucking believe that name got all the way through and is now defecating in my inbox. goddammit I hate this fucking timeline
  12. Thankfully we won’t have a statue back there but yeah I wish we had a game to break them in but they need to keep arch clean at all costs.,
  13. Hope this is good. Aziz just said "fuck it, my career is in the gutter due to a bunch of bullshit, so I'm just going to write, direct and cast myself."

  15. I've been sworn to secrecy and haven't even told my core friend group, but what he's alluding to with something big coming for NIL will also just be really fucking big for UT athletics. And it will also be hilarious. Regarding the back-up QB battle, there are no doubt multiple posters on this site who are grinding their teeth right now that Trey Owens isn't going to cut it.
  16. The current political reality in this country is a binary choice. I hate it, but it's the truth. The fact you consider yourself losable might be a bigger problem.
  17. I would counter that a QB that likes to throw downfield will open up the run game.
  18. Listen you fucking pedants and movie snobs, I said "farther" because I referred to taking steps. These steps were metaphorical, rather than physical, so further could have also been correct, but both are acceptable uses. That "rule" didn't even become a rule until the 1980's and before that the terms were used almost interchangeably. The purpose of that scene in Finding Forrester is to illustrate that the teacher is a pedant who had clearly misunderestimated the titular character, and I don't think Van Sant was being overly prescriptive about how those terms should be used. It's like merlot sales plummeting because of a throwaway line in Sideways. Giamatti's character didn't want to drink merlot because his ex wife drank merlot, not because merlot is low brow or something. But everyone who likes wine saw that movie and took it as a signal that merlot was for pleebs and stopped drinking it. Great, more for me. I bet you assholes correct people when they say "octopuses" too.
  19. a beef ragu I enjoy. It not a bolognese ragu as it doesn’t have dairy in it and it has tomato. It’s more a Jersey recipe but it’s not a Clemenza style sugo. Basically a chuck roast seared and thrown in crock pot. Onions celery carrot garlic. Bay leaf and thyme instead of oregano or basil. Red wine, a can of crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Beef broth. Shred the beef. It’s cooked about 14 hours. will serve tonight with pappardelle. Will post a finished dish then. I make a Sunday red gravy with pork shoulder, sausage, and ribs but Paulie would think I use too many onions.
  20. protect the beer!
  21. Regarding item 3, I think you've mixed some of it up. Slocum was having an affair with his secretary. His wife discovered it somehow, while Slocum was running a fall practice. She drove up to the field, got out and started dumping a bunch of his clothes and personal belongings onto the grass. Then she told him not to come home and tore off in her car. Slocum spent awhile after that on his office couch, or his secretary's place, who knows? Eventually, he reconciled with his wife and moved back home. Slocum is one of those public personalities that gets a lot more credit in various ways than he should. Of course the aggies all talk about him in a hagiographic manner, but regular ol'college football talking heads will also celebrate the guy when he comes up or stops by somewhere. Slocum was Sherrill's lead bagman. He was a fucking cheater if there ever was one. He was a driver in taking them to the brink of the abyss (death penalty). Those idiots should wake up everyday and thank God that SMU was even more craven and pathetic. After all of that, and when Slocum was in control, he continued to push the cheating. ATM was banned from bowls and television in the fucking 90's, for Christ's sake. It wasn't until the last embarrassment in the mid-90's that ATM got religion about cheating until they entered the SEC. Slocum also gets a lot of credit as some sort of terrific coach. I respect his defensive scheming at the time with how they ran their version of the 3-4 and how well they did it. That said, a lot of idiots can be awesome at something when they're cheating and most of the competition isn't, or not nearly to their levels. Gene Chizik won a national title. Les Miles won a national title. Ed Orgeron won a national title. Beyond that, the guy was actively damaging to his offenses as a head coach. It was often great comedy to watch that dumb motherfucker sell "opening up the offense" during the offseason around the state and then the aggies online and in your neighborhood would lap it up. After he was shitcanned but stayed forever an aggie, he went out of his way in multiple seasons, once on the board of the Harris poll, in trying to fuck Texas over from top 2 contention in the BCS. He was actively working against Texas in 2008, publicly even! He is also an alleged repeat offender as a philanderer. So, sure, great guy. When he dies, even people on here will offer kind thoughts and prayers and all of that shit. Just show me the location of his grave, so I can drive over to it and spit on it.
