I moved to Texas to get away from 4 distinct seasons. I despise cold weather. I'll take the blast furnace for a few months because the rest of the year is relatively awesome.

The frustrating thing about DEI is that EVERYONE understands the underlying concepts, as long as it is in a field where “they” belong. Every single person on this board knows that in recruiting, you don’t just blindly offer the kids who put up big numbers from Katy/Southlake/etc and call it a day. Every single person on this board understands that these big school kids have likely had all of the advantages presented to them to this point and it is not necessarily indicative of future success. Every single person on this board understands the logic behind extending an offer to someone who might have lesser stats now, but could thrive given the proper opportunity. But that’s somewhere where “they” are allowed to succeed, so nobody ever associates DEI with college football. The compounding factors on all of this, of course, is that most people who are generally labeled as a “DEI hire” absolutely have similar/better resumes than their counterparts, yet folks like @Enchubben just assume they must have only gotten the job because of the color of their skin. I won’t publicly call you a racist, but I’ll let your words speak for themselves. -
Weird how this seems to happen with every Republican administration.

One of my favorite youtube channels put out a great analysis from a civil engineering and hydrology perspective. The host lives in Central Texas, and has a ton of really interesting videos on all the engineering that holds our world up

How many Indians do you think are employed by the FBI? Are they overrepresented or underrepresented? It doesn't matter at all if they are conservative or liberal. -

Or TV commentators and podcasters as cabinet members. Or the wife of one of the president's sons as head of the GOP and a candidate for senator of Florida. -
Nice. Played for Kobe years ago.

So much this. Let me share with you the takeaway from the Charlie Kirk-sponsored view of minorities and DEI: as a minority, no matter what you do, no matter how much you overcome or achieve, it will never, ever, ever be enough. The black pilot of Charlie Kirk's plane could be the most decorated combat pilot in modern history, aced every exam and test for his airline, and demonstrated exceptional judgment at every possible turn. But in Charlie Kirk world, they will ALWAYS come up with some reason to think that he's inferior and doesn't deserve it. All while his dream administration, that Charlie Kirk personally helped gain power in the last election, practices the most naked nepotism, loyalty-test, hire-strictly-from-a-pool-of-your-existing-friends approach that we've seen in modern political history, and that's just fine. Cranky white guy "old boy" network shit, putting merit second, putting "who you know" first? That's cool, that's good. I mean, that's how bidness works, knowwhati'msayin'? Even THINK of suggesting "hey, why don't we send a recruiter to an HBCU, to see if any of those folks, who have never networked with us before because for the past 50 years, we've been an old white guy outfit, might be a good hire?" Well, that's woke DEI and you'll just end up with inferior hires taking a qualified white man's job, because....well, you can just tell. And Enchubben thinks that worldview is NOT racist. White man = likely more qualified. Black man = likely less qualified. Without knowing a single other fact about them, their experience, education, etc., the Enchubbens of the world have ALREADY made that judgment. Charlie Kirk said exactly that, in pretty plain language, several different ways. And Enchubben thinks that not only is that okay, but it's one of the things that makes Charlie SO worthy of admiration and adoration. -

Sorry did I mess something up? Sometimes I do that. Maybe have a touch of the 'tism. I've heard it before. -

Asians and Southasians (Indians) are generally not considered to be beneficieries (but rather hurt) by DEI policies and practices. I say generally becaue DEI policies obviously differ on case by case basis, but overwhelmingly do not include them (and likely due to the pervasive and harmful "model minority" myth). -
Scipio Tex on UTEP game Wide Receivers/Tight Ends The tight ends got a lot of run. No pun intended. I don’t think any of them added much to the running game and they accounted for two drops. For the season, Texas #1 WR Ryan Wingo has 23 targets with 9 catches for 97 yards. That’s remarkably bad. I can’t name a less efficient SEC #1 target. There are some very bad routes there, yes, but Arch has flat missed an open Wingo about 8-10 times. Not much to write when the WR position totaled 5 catches for 55 yards on 10 targets.
