  1. Past hour
  2. I would say Clint is a fucking embarrassment, but the real embarrassment is a couple of TCU alums I went to school with who think Clint is incredibly funny and original to the point they believe they must share his videos to every Frog alum they know, even those of us who have told them multiple times to stop sending us the shit.
  3. well the current POTUS is a barking seal and regularly says things as crazy as anything in the cloak room
  4. Got a Primaluna Evo 300 today. Sounds amazing with the Fortes. Great clarity and less boom in the bottom end than with my Marantz.
  5. And run the touchdown plays WAY MORE
  6. What a haphazard collection of athletic ability. Sin City is now The Island of Misfit Toys.
  7. What a shitbag. If that subhuman listened to his interview about it he wouldnt have posted that. Waste of good oxygen.
  8. 247 Sports updated some rankings in the Top247. The one major change for Texas (that I am aware of) is Dia Bell moving up from #24 overall to #10 overall. #5 QB to #3 QB. Top247 change As a result, he moves up from #13 to #11 in the 247 Composite. So, And finally, in the Rivals Industry Composite, he is now the #1 QB in the country! (Moves up to #4 overall.)

  9. Golf fans flocking to Northern Ireland's north coast to watch The Open will be hoping to see more than a fair share of birdies and eagles. But it is a team of birdies of the feathered variety that are working hard to protect the golfing public over the coming days. A cast of Harris hawks has been drafted in by tournament organisers to keep hungry seagulls away from the course. Falconer David Trenier told BBC News NI the hawks are making sure golf fans can enjoy their food in peace. "They are very, very sociable, used to working with large crowds and are big enough to spook the gulls enough to move them off," he said. Four hawks have been on the course "morning and night" since the gates opened to the public on Sunday, Mr Trenier said. The birds - named Aurora, Belle, Caine and Cheyenne - will rotate in shifts throughout the tournament. The team from Clear Skies Falconry Pest Control is specifically tasked with patrolling the skies over areas where food is served. Hawks Cheyenne (left) and Caine (right) and their handlers are part of a team that patrol the skies over the Portrush golf course Situated on the north Antrim coast, Portrush is a familiar haunt for seagulls. Often, Mr Trenier said, the gulls can have "an aggressive nature for food". "When they come in, the presence of the hawk on the course puts them off, they make sure the gulls don't come down" he said. They are the ideal bird for the job, Mr Trenier added, and a "clean and green method of pest control". It is a method used frequently at other major sporting events. Previous Open Championships at Troon and St Andrews have similarly called on birds of prey, while Rufus, an American Harris hawk, has been scaring pigeons at Wimbledon for more than 15 years. Rufus first patrolled Wimbledon in 2008, when he was only 16 weeks old The tournament-going public seem to love them, Mr Trenier said. "It is so lovely to see the public reaction, they want to talk and they want to ask questions. "The kids want to have a picture taken and know more about them." Pilgrim, a 24-year-old bald eagle, will be at The Open this weekend The Harris hawks will be joined over the weekend by Pilgrim - Clear Skies Falconry's 24-year-old bald eagle. "He will definitely disturb the gulls," Mr Trenier said. He added that Pilgrim's presence also tips a cap to the large contingent of American golfers playing at Portrush because the species is the national bird of the United States. More than 275,000 spectators are expected during the eight days of practice and competition, making it the largest sporting event held in Northern Ireland.
  10. People here have linked meeting minutes from a couple of separate meetings in which they seemed to reject funds that came from Obama or Biden. The quotes were pretty damning. I listened to The Daily (NYT) podcast episode on this yesterday and it was a little less clear about it. You can listen here, starting at the 19:30 mark: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daily/id1200361736?i=1000717346070 They said that Kerr County officials tried on multiple occasions to get funding and were denied. 1. Kerr County approached TDEM in 2017 and told the proposal did meet federal grant requirements. 2. They tried again in 2018 and the state declined again. 3. In 2024, the Upper Guadalupe River Authority went to the Texas Water Development Board, which only offered a tiny grant that wasn’t big enough. For whatever reason, The Daily makes no mention of the funding that was supposedly offered and Kerr County declined because it came from Biden. They are normally pretty thorough with their journalism and that seems easy enough info to uncover, so I was confused why it wasn’t discussed. I found this other article from The Texas Tribune that goes into it: https://www.texastribune.org/2025/07/10/texas-kerr-county-commissioners-flooding-warning/ It says that Kerr County was given a $10.2 million grant from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in 2021. That is apparently the “Biden money” they wanted to send back, but ultimately kept it and opted to spend it on things other than flood warning systems. They spent $7MM on public safety radios for the sheriff and fire departments, $1MM on bonuses for the sheriff’s employees, and other undisclosed stuff. Perhaps it wasn’t mentioned by The Daily because the ARPA funds were specifically provided for flood warning systems. Although they could’ve used it for that and chose not to, and you have to wonder about those $1MM in bonuses when the flood warning system also costs $1MM.
  11. Sonoma County. You can fly into Santa Rosa direct from DFW. Then, plenty of options for food and wine, or rent car and drive 45 minutes and rent a house on Bodega Bay.
  12. Admittedly my memory is shot, but of the names on that list Denver Harris is one that not only didn't live up to expectations but had associated off the field issues.
  13. A play in 3 acts... Act 1, Monday: Act 2, Tuesday: Act 3, also Tuesday:
  14. Good thing our QB is gonna run for 1k and throw laterally and quickly over the middle so much that people will be terrified to blitz us. I refuse to let any negativity into my mind about the next two years. We're gonna run it.
  15. That's part of the risk you take putting a car on Turo. Probably still less wear and tear than most people who intentionally hoon rental cars.
  16. The N54 is a maintenance headache. If you're looking 335 you want a 2011 or newer with an N55.
  17. Sankey began his remarks this morning with an apology to Sark for the aggy war hymn playing. SEE SIPS THINK THEY RUN EVERYTHING!
  18. Waving around his purse gun and hiring the jeeewwwwww lawyer didn't help
  19. I can’t believe some of those guys still have eligibility
  20. Typical aggy. “Look at me! Look at me!”
  21. This is the definition of how my sister helps... All Gas , No Bra Akes
  22. Pretty good but I wanted to see it again an hour later.
  23. DAMN YOU, BIDEN!!!!! [Posted in preparation for the explanation that Dotard wasn't really involved in appointing Powell, even if it happened during his first term.]
