  1. Past hour
  2. 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.
  3. And what coincidental timing that would be.
  4. I can believe the benefits of an extended fast but can you speak more on the precancerous cell benefits? I'm skeptical about any claim that implies cancer prevention. Of course every cell in the body could be categorized as precancerous. Like in how I'm currently pre-dating Jessica Alba.
  5. I couldn't disagree more, but hey, maybe the dems will do what you say and maybe they'll be successful losing people like myself.
  6. They’ll think phage is a slur and try to get it shut down
  7. It would save Trump a lot of heat if they overturn it and he doesn't have to pardon her.
  8. 3 days in Greensboro.
  9. https://www.titosvodka.com/global-research Somebody want to let aggy know that Tito’s has given $1.4M to A&M for research on phage technology and another $500K to fund an endowed professorship in regenerative agriculture?
  10. Say what you will about the guy, but you have to admire Trump’s strict message discipline in the face of this controversy
  11. The press conference is scheduled for 11am MT, so a little under an hour from now.
  12. Not many people possess the acuity required to believe that Hillary "But Her Emails" Clinton gets a pass.
  13. If you’re into planes, give yourself two days. Maybe three. It’s massive and full of amazing things.
  14. Truly the worst negotiator.
  15. bump. Houston recently banned homeless people from EADO and downtown. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/city-of-houston/2025/07/16/526508/houston-city-council-effectively-bans-homeless-people-from-downtown-and-east-downtown-sidewalks/ The impact isn't that the homeless suddenly have homes. The impact is that they're moving to other nearby areas. Perhaps it dilutes the appearance of homelessness but the numbers must be close to the same. I was up early on Saturday and went to a coffee shop in the GOOF area. Shopping center at 34th & Ella. A homeless person was using one of the shopping center walls/corner as a urinal while passing through. Do we all now have to accept more homeless to clean up downtown? Is this some action to make downtown/EADO more attractive for the World Cup next year?
  16. It's not that bad unless you've got weather to deal with. Independence, OTOH, is sketchy as fuck. Last time I drove that I was certain one of the vans with rafts on the trailer was gonna hit me and send me off the edge.
  17. and this guy bernie m something is heading it up. a real wizard.
  18. we played 18 Sunday morning....one of my buddies marks his ball about four feet from the cup and says to the other, who is a good 45+ feet away, "is my mark in your line?" I'm standing right there, the mark is clearly in the line, but it ain't my business. Buddy says, "nah, I'll never make it" and putts. The ball hits the mark, bounces a little bit and goes in the hole. and then I watched HG2 last night so...how long until "patrons" are yelling "that's what she said!" when Xander tees off?
  19. Why do so many people constantly talk about a fake version of the Democratic party that's even worse at politics than the real Democratic party? Why is their "solution" to the problems of this fake party always what the real party has been doing (and which has proven insufficient)? Dems have been trying to hide from social issues, duck culture war shit, and focus on kitchen table issues every single election since 1992. When do you think that will start actually working? Before or after they've herded us all into gas chambers? Ducking from culture war fights is how you lose the fucking culture war and that fight is much more important to most people than economic issues they don't understand. When you tell voters that your opponents are right on their culture war shit, you're telling them to vote for your opponents. THAT is what has driven people to vote Republican. It wasn't telling them that we support trans rights, it was refusing to tell them they should too.
