  1. Past hour
  2. Rory has a case of the captain hooks today.
  3. Sometimes, something gets broken beyond fixing. I'd be surprised if Mystic ever reopens. Beyond the main force behind it being dead, the name will be toxic, like 3 Mile Island. No one will want to trust their kids to anything associated with that name. Something else will fill its void to provide similar experience for Texas' girls/young women of means, something that is going to have safety measures that hold up to increased scrutiny. If not from government/regulatory agencies, then from parents who are entrusting a third party to be responsible for their child.
  4. right on track. usually it's double, par, par, though.
  5. Georgia didn’t win shit for 40 fucking years until Kirby showed up and started dropping bags that made even Saban blush.
  6. I hate days with no baseball. Anyone got a link for some little league?
  7. Much as I enjoy laughing at A&M's persistent buffoonery, I think the rule that once someone declares for the draft he is no longer eligible to play college football is silly. I would put that point of no return at the signing of his NFL contract. Will we hear "Texas Fight"?
  8. Elko pulling up the rear on the podium today. Will they cry about aggy going last at Media Days? "Sankey hates us" "We get no respect" "Lets go to the Big 10".
  9. This is why Kerr County government needs an enema. On the Mystic stuff, the circles I am in are more sobered with respect to the future of the camp and camp management's responsibilities. We aren't sending our daughter back to even Cypress Lake if it is open, and we are hardly the only ones. I think many are sad because the family is a good family, but as a result of years of bad decisions, complacency, hubris, etc., this happened. In some ways, it was inevitable something like this was going to happen at one of these camps. So I get the bonfire comparisons, and there are certainly some evangelists out there. But the bill will come due. It's OK for people associated with the camp to be sad about it, but I think most that I've talked to also expect accountability and know what that means. On the Kerr County side, it's more maddening because there won't be any accountability. None. The tourists and campers will be back next summer. Any explanation as to why there won't be accountability gets too CR for the sensitive ears on this forum, I guess, and is reflective of the f'd up priorities of our electorate at every level.
  10. Freshman Mosley (playing 6 fewer games) had more receptions, yards, and TDs than Freshman Wingo. Obviously apples to oranges because of the differences in depth/need, but some damn fine stats from him in that horrific Stanford passing offense. Looking forward to seeing what he (and Endries) can bring.
  11. I think that's where the Royals found Freddie Patek.
  12. did they call up this fatass for a hot dog eating contest?
  13. Now two shots to advance the ball forward about 2 yards, lulz.
  14. I'm assumed he meant sending out alerts locally/statewide like when a cop stubs his toe on the job.
  15. also, this random pic I took yesterday.
  16. Ketch's attorneys have advised him against it.
  17. Seems like a good guy:
  18. DeChambeau with the whiff.
  19. For sure. What's confusing is, apparently others like to hear him talk, too?
  20. i posted this a week ago in cr after further review i can't see anything in it that is "against the rules" of dt so here you go: +++ How do the failed barriers fit together? The 2025 atrocity is neither a 2025 problem, nor a 2025 camp/citizen/tourist problem, nor a 2025 State/County/City government problem. It is instead a true example of an organizational accident with causes that existed for some time before the event. While no one person is responsible for the atrocity, the aggregate effect of actions and decisions by government officials and those they serve, over many years, created the physical conditions that made the atrocity possible. For the current State, County and Local governments, Guadalupe Flooding was, and is, an institution. And leaders do not change institutions unless there is a clearly perceived need for change. Guadalupe Flooding has grown from isolated events lost in institutional memories trapped in time into an atrocity with massive loss of life. From just a dozen deaths to hundreds. From the occasional high-water cleanup to a 100-year event every 10 years. For Guadalupe Flooding, the State, County and Local government’s role was to ensure that controls were in place so that if and when a flood occurred, the results would be non-consequential. But as Guadalupe Flooding has grown in frequency and intensity, the actions and decisions by government officials, taken or not taken, to prevent the flooding, have remained the same. The State of Texas, Kerr County and the City of Kerrville do not have a proactive risk management approach for Guadalupe Flooding. As a result, behavioral and safety problems never prompted past or present administrations to reassess Guadalupe Flooding risk to campers, citizens and tourists. The State of Texas, Kerr County and the City of Kerrville have a culture that instills bias and tunnel vision in decision making. No one in the current or past administrations ever interpreted ongoing behavioral problems as indications that Guadalupe Flooding risk mitigation was beyond the capabilities of past or present administrations. There was no appropriate plan, policy or program to mitigate the risk of Guadalupe Flooding. Instead, important design details were communicated through an oral tradition. As a result, Guadalupe Flooding risk mitigation was never undertaken the same way twice, even though the accepted basis for risk mitigation was “we have always done it this way, and it has always worked.” Thus, changes made in the absence of a sound risk mitigation strategy reduced critical margins of safety. Kerr County and City of Kerrville leaders were the sole design authority for Guadalupe Flooding risk mitigation. Yet they did not have the knowledge or skills necessary to identify and correct structural and institutional deficiencies of the type that caused the 2025 atrocity. Though its individual components are complex, the central message is clear. The atrocity was about physical failures driven by organizational failures, the origins of which span decades. No single factor caused the atrocity, just as no single change will ensure that a tragedy like this never happens again. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/44760-4th-of-july-texas-flood/page/29/#comment-7195227
  21. They offered Bowman and Wafle insane packages they simply had to take.
