  1. Life long michigan fan here. I grew up being taken to games and tailgating. My uncle raised me on old ten year war videos. Bo was a god to him and I. With that being said I collect memorabilia and as far as my michigan stuff is concerned I had a michigan mini helmet signed by bo before he died. It’s like the holy grail michigan auto. After news of this broke a few weeks ago (have been waiting to see if it would get more national coverage) I immediately sold the helmet. I got $300 for it which was $100 less then what others were asking. I feel sick about the fact I was going to use that money for something like a guitar or what ever so I’m going to donate it to a fund for sexually abused people. This story has completely shaken me and is on the verge of breaking me from being a michigan fan. I didn’t go there but love the campus and all the surrounding areas. How could a man that claims to have stood for so much integrity do this? Burn it down burn it all fucking down! Statues buildings all of it. Not rename BURN IT DOWN! Also all that failed to report this and knew need to be locked up forever. If they are not I’m done. I’m not sure that there is a right way this can be handled to make me return to the fandom I once had for this university it’s administration or anyone involved. Sorry if this didn’t make sense but I’m just fucking sick right now and this university has been such a big part of my life I don’t even know what to say

  5. You are outing yourself. Go read any article that has ever seriously studied the issue. In the 1920’s they used flags and binocs. One team had a buzzer buried in the third base box. The giants used a telescope and road flares maybe? The Red Sox used an apple watch and God knows what else. Everyone knows the dodgers and Yankees were cheating. Teams have always used the tech of their time and it’s always been real time. You are showing your ass or your ignorance pick one. Neither is a good look and is generally below the standards of this site and more befitting of a first take watcher or sports radio show caller.

  6. I just went and read the Darla Moore stuff. Wow. Not all large donors behave in such a manner. Frankly, there are some who give to UT who don't ask for much of anything. Sure, others want a fuckton of exposure and credit. That all considered, the continued notion pushed out there by talking heads that UT's donor base is anything but a fucking asset to the university is laughable. Sarkisian does not currently have a bunch of boosters demanding individual hours of his time each week or month, and he and CDC are simultaneously getting a whole bunch of "yes" answers on their asks. There are responsibilities in working with donors who are considering helping on projects, or group meetings across the state and things of that ilk, but that is the same at every school involved with athletics in a big way across the country. Jamail, Denius, McCombs, not that they were bad guys, because they sure as shit were not, but yeah, they were high touch while alive (I don't know the story with where things are at for McCombs health-wise these days but he's not talking to the HC every day the way he expected back in the day), but they also gave something ridiculous like a combined $1+billion to the school and AD in their lifetimes. Consider these basic and recent examples: 1) 8 groups donated $10million each to the SEZ project before it was publicly kicked off in order to give it the momentum it needed to be a healthy financial project to update the stadium. 2) The Moodys provided the major donation to the new basketball arena and allegedly do not require handholding in their relationship with the school or AD. Their gift on this project alone is larger by almost 2x than what that "largest donor ever" at SCar has given in total. They've given way more than that across the AD and school and we don't hear shit about them needing face time with Steve Sarkisian or Chris Beard. 3) The new indoor workout facility expense for football is also quietly committed. That won't be "considered" or "announced" until after the 2 current major projects are completed. 4) Tom Herman's buyout was committed to fully after the Texas Tech game with the only strings being that the $$ wanted to be involved with understanding the process and candidates, as the consensus didn't want change for the sake of change. I guess people can bitch about any involvement, but that's like $500+million in liquidity for the AD without a shit ton of ballbreaking from legendary assholes. Think about how rarely we actually hear anything material about problems from the UT donor side. Idiots like Paul Finebaum and Kirk Herbstreit can throw nonsense out there and the rest of the media and other fans will eat it up, but what were any of the specifics attached to such claims? I have yet to see any.

  7. Look, I just got done Negotiating language in the China competitiveness bill: it’s not just Manchin. The thing I was working on was supported by virtually the entire caucus, but one liberal Senator didn’t like it, so it failed because it couldn’t move under unanimous consent. The R’s were also supportive, but they weren’t going to just give Schumer an easy W. In the House it’s open partisan warfare. Losing a floor vote is like losing to OU. You’ll swallow your concerns to get the W. The senate was already a deeply anti-democratic institution where the members are used to having a voice or finger in every issue. There is so much ass fuckery going on behind the scenes on a million different issues. Manchin is just the most public face of it because: A. He’s a press hound B. I tend to believe he’s a naive fool. I think a lot of members believe the claptrap about the old timey senate of LBJ and Richard Russell cutting deals over drinks. It’s mostly bullshit and is revisionist history, but it infects thinking all across the chamber. Say what you want about McConnell and Harry Reid, they saw the institution for what it is.

  8. This is going to depend heavily on the oral arguments IMO. Getting off will be hard, but something that has happened before. He's already lost a load of future opportunities with his actions. He's made a mess of his life. He can't save face. And while he'll try to secure his ultimate release, he'll never be able to enjoy it. It just sucks for him. Life comes at you fast.

  14. Hahahahahahaha. You fucking wokejacking clown. Inserting your own tired and pretentious agenda on this thread every time you want a narrative or discussion trend adjusted is the only arrow your insipid, robotic ass has in the quiver. Just as a heads up, can you tell us which of your family members you are going to metaphorically kill on this thread once you realize there's no way out of the depantsing you're taking for inserting this stupid shit into the discussion? I know you can't just go mea culpa and bow out, so I'm pretty excited about seeing this tumbledown get going. I just can't handle the suspense of what kind of mcguffin you're going to deploy in order to make it all go away so that you can then get back to cutting and pasting the 4-5 rants you have on file about the aggies that we've all read like 100 times.

  15. This is so completely enraging. The dipshit Arky lawmaker (and tons of other dipshits on social media) all quick to ask why she couldn't just comply, are the same numb fucks throwing their groceries on the ground at Costco b/c masky hurt facey. Also, per the Arky driver manual, she WASN'T "fleeing" you feeble-minded cuntface. The cop could have killed not only her, but other innocent drivers. How fucking many news stories with someone pulled onto a narrow shoulder and either the cop, driver, or both gets killed do you need? Maybe Andy Reid's drunk fuckup kid is behind me and I'd prefer to not get slammed into by him or Johnny Tweetswhiledriving?? And the cherry on the sundae is it was over a fuuuuuuucking speeding ticket, not like she has felony warrants out or something, and even in THAT case, this would be insane. Prison.

  21. Have been in the PCBa business for 30 years, including owning my own contract manufacture shop with 4 SMT lines, 40 employees etc for the last 15. This is the worst it has ever been. At least weekly we are being given lead times to common items of sometime in 2023. I'll give some facts and some educated speculation. Facts: Covid shut down or reduced factory output, way more demand sooner than anyone thought, takes 4-6 months to get wafer fabs back up and going at full speed, 1/2 the number of boats (remember a typical IC could have the wafer made in Taiwan, assembled in vietnam, tested back in Taiwan, and final assembly in Philippines ) so 1/2 the number of boat hurts that back and forth of product , 2x the number of people working from home needing network equipment. Thats all pretty obvious and we would come out of that situation fairly quickly. But places like Malaysia being shut down for 2 weeks in june for covid and a civil war in Myanmar (where Panasonic makes all their sensors - ask me how i know) doesn't help. Speculation: The big guys chip makers, NXP, TI, On Semi, ST MIcro, etc etc all collectively decided we are getting our profit back, so they look at their line card and decide which items are profitable and which items aren't, they use covid as an excuse to make the profitable stuff put it on allocation which allows them to pick where to ship product to, and the rest of the little stuff gets blown off (thus some of the 2023 lead time). Now, you know who isn't getting allocated product first, the ass hole giant OEMs that haven't' allowed anyone (CMs, distributors or manufacturers) to make any money and push all obligation down to the little guy. Talking to a VP of a worlds top 3 electronics distributor that has Detroit as his area, ford and GM both cancelled orders and returned product to everyone at the beginning of covid making the little guys eat it. Shoe is on the other foot now, and everyone is taking their revenge. They are giving (lets use ford) Ford just enough of their product that they don't force them to redesign, which ford doesn't' want to do, but they are making them pay higher prices and making them wait. I buy 125,000 pieces of a micro controller a month for my largest customer and place them on boards. When covid hit, we didn't cancel anything, we worked with the manufacturer, the distributor and we slowed it down and slowly slid into the curb. It is appreciated, and my customer hasn't missed one shipment of the controller now that its ramped back up. Anyone else in the world is being told 60 week lead time, the manufacturer is picking us to ship to. Will the big OEMS learn? They will pay lip service to it (have seen some articles saying "maybe we shouldn't be such dicks" , but nah, they wont. When will it end - It will get slowly better (i have already seen some signs) for the next few months, then all at once everyone will realize they over compensated for the shortages and will start cancelling orders, then within a month most of it will be fixed. My guess is Feb 2022. TL:DR - Next summer cars will be back to normal.

  27. Yes, though it's only one point in support of a larger point. Since only fatty seems to even want to try to follow, I'll just go ahead and lay it all out for the non-lawyers. I've been trying to get at something that is extremely fundamental to the entire concept of private property rights: the necessity of a state, or really the necessity of a common agreement by the rest of us to recognize your rights in a piece of property, which is functionally administered by a state. You only own property because we've agreed to acknowledge your claim as superior to other claims. In essence, what is "yours" is only yours because I acknowledge it as such and agree not to take it from you. I do this because I expect the same recognition from you in return about what I consider to be "mine." This is what all property law is built on.

  30. As it becomes ever more apparent the true instigators of this fiasco are going to walk without so much as a slap on the wrist from Congress, my capacity for schadenfreude over these losers grows smaller to the point of vanishing. The way things are going now, it's like we would have executed everyone in Charles Manson's Family but allowed the man himself to keep on keepin' on. You have duped idiots following what they perceived to be orders from the highest authority in the land and many of his lieutenants, and all of those people are going to face zero negative consequences; indeed, some of them have seen their campaign coffers swell and their approval ratings among the idiots who like them grow larger. I guess maybe we are not arresting these ringleaders because we want to appease their fans, but ask ol' Neville Chamberlain about appeasement. Seeing all these idiots and assholes go down is satisfying but it is far removed from justice. Justice would entail the arrests and imprisonment of a host of ranking assholes including but not limited to most of the Trump family, Rudy, Stone, Alex Jones, Lin Wood, Sidney Powell, Cruz, Hawley, and so on. But we won't arrest them because this is no longer a nation of laws. Our "lawmakers" -- who are supposed to be our servants and not our leaders -- are our superiors and they have one set of rules and we have another.

  31. just to be clear. you actually believe that ~10,500 Texas (and ~143,000 US) churches are washing dirty money somehow with out congregation or pastor's knowledge. i am not saying it doesn't happen more often than people think or that it doesn't happen at all...but saying that 50.01% or ~143,000 of churches ("most") in the united states just function as a way to wash dirty money is absolutely one of the dumbest takes i have read on this entire website full of dumb takes.
