Oh, the novel has a perfect beginning: "The Appointment in Samarra" (as retold by W. Somerset Maugham [1933]) There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that had jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me [Death] standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.

They’re government employees bemoaning how undesirable governance is after themselves repeatedly failing to protect the public, so people regard them as an authority on the matter.

This would be true had you guys not left the Big 12 as well. TV wanted the power programs more concentrated and that wouldn’t have changed with a Pac 16.

They want to stop financially supporting organizations like nws, NOAA, npr, etc.... that's money that can go to rich people through lower taxes. They don't even hide the fact.

It would have failed, for many of the same reasons the Pac 12 failed Thats an insane cultural disparity, and all the shit you guys talk on Big 12 schools applies more so to the Pac schools. Far away places that don’t care anywhere near as much about football. The SEC is the only place it ever made sense for UT and OU to go outside of the Big 12.

I don't know how one can watch Arch and think he's likely to be a downgrade. I think he does some of what Ewers does pretty well, but does it better. He does some of the things Ewers didn't do so well at a pretty high level, including running the ball and throwing the deep ball. He definitely seems to have better pocket awareness. He might be a little behind on that short/intermediate touch pass, I'm not sure, I don't think I've seen enough of it to be sure, but I don't expect some massive dropoff there, that's for sure. I liked Ewers and appreciated his toughness and effort. I just don't see Arch being worse. Different? Yes. Most likely more productive.
