I think both you and brisket have arrived at the “equity is more desirable.” Where brisket is failing is at acknowledging an uncomfortable but real truth: shifting to “equity” means some individuals have been denied some opportunities that would have been available to them under the “equality” model. And a refusal to admit that truth leads to the lack of empathy. It is much easier to call those people whiners. Just like on the “equality” front it’s easier to frame inequity as a pure function of personal responsibility. They are really both screaming into a mirror. Lots of culture war battles stem from a desire to not acknowledge uncomfortable truths.

@Park GothicI really don't know sir and you may be right. I just know the man is human and has been through some real stress - the kind that can temporarily break people. I think many of us have seen some of the things I speculated on break strong as granite friends for a bit. Whatever happened (no idea - didn't notice or know), he's back and fixing some things on his staff. If we could target an OL coach - any ideas from some that know more than me (most of you - I have a buddy that spent years with the 49ers as a OL and knows his stuff is my all) about a target? I want a new safeties coach too. Muschamp is human and will have plenty - don't want him tied up coaching a position. Oversee it all, yes.

there are better players in the portal

Counterpoint- wouldn’t these wind farms make it impossible for attacking enemy planes from approaching our coast from below radar?

This is no different than other Trump plays. Kill something from the inside. Have people quit due to outrage. Water down the organization until it is a shell of its former self. Then the organization dies which was entirely what he wanted.

Cher looks like a broken sex bot.

CRT was never going to be dangerous. It's like any other critical academic framework - somewhat self-evident, highly self-referential, analytically useful, and fragile when confronted by ambiguity.

Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
Storm the Field replied to NorthLoop's topic in Daily Texan
Been just nasty since Saturday afternoon and now we're looking at 6 straight days of this 20-degrees-above-average bullshit ahead. Not gonna cool back down until Sunday afternoon. Absolute horseshit to have this weather in late December. Was thinking about running up to my deer lease after Xmas, but there's currently a high of 80 with 78% humidity forecast for both Friday and Saturday. Pass. -

You mean from the OC he's scared to hire? -
Moore had agreed to a number heading into last December that people could make sense of, even if it was high and based more on hope for 2025 than anything he’d done up that point. They then waited until Texas had sorted its commitments out to retention, to guys in the portal and the signing class, at which point they doubled their ask, bringing it up massively. The choice was to meet the ask rather than risk not having a replacement and even facing, if I remember correctly, the premise of him leaving before the ASU or Ohio State game (can’t remember which). That ultimately impacted the ability to land other portal guys who had an interest in Texas at other key positions. Now the dude is asking for something like $1M. I hope Texas laughed in his fucking face. I think he is worth backup money to someone else, but they’ll find someone desperate and he’ll get $500K or something. For Texas, having him on the roster and drawing a paycheck puts other players at risk of leaving. So, yeah, fuck him.

Hope you are correct, sir. Haven’t experienced The Odyssey since reading the Classics comic book a lonnnng time ago.

Defense travels in bad weather. But we'd still lose 13-3.

Uncle Rodger is a far bigger influence on my boys then Andrew Tate ever was.

Well, will you look at that. LFG! I notice that we made sure we start at our home first, to avoid any shenanigans.

It's funny you mention CRT because I had that thought as well reading this. I came to the conclusion that the reason it was such a bogeyman was actually prescient and strategically deft by the party of the aggrieved white man. CRT was a tiny interdisciplinary framework found almost entirely in the ivory tower of academia and had zero to do with anything else, but to hear the aggreived white man tell it, it was everywhere and all at once. But the genius was to kill it as an infant in the crib before it got full grown and then you had to address the conclusions that reframe everything. If my cynical interpretation is true (and I think you are agreeing with me) then it actually was politically savvy to demonize, isolate and eliminate CRT while it was being sold as "just an academic framework and just an honesty interpretation of history, nothing to fear for the aggrieved white man." which might not have been entirely the truth.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

And we would have MUCH more and better cheese. But it would not be great for anybody who was not "heritage American" because the kind of "colorblind nationalism" that is practiced in the real life of France is often quite a bit like like what we see MAGA working towards - a sort of perscriptive cultural American-ness that treats others with deep suspicion. I think you are really dug in, and unfortunately not responding thoughtfully. Again, do you not understand that the consistent theme of what I've posted, including the post you repsonded to is that GenX and Boomer white males did not give up anything or lose any advantage? You're just reciting the catachism here.
