  1. So Biden last night/today said his proof that the hospital destruction wasn’t from Israel but from Islamic Jihad (or whatever) wasn’t from the Israelis but from the Pentagon. So, if true, the Pentagon and Israel are saying they have proof it wasn’t Israel and Hamas says it was and we have people on this thread believing Hamas because, why? I’m not saying Israel hasn’t done bad stuff ever but in this case it seems like they didn’t blow up the hospital and I notice everyone on this thread railing against them yesterday isn’t on this thread today saying, “my bad, guess it wasn’t them”. Quite telling.
  2. I’m pretty sure copying the Japanese tactics in WW2 probably isn’t a great idea based on how it ended for them.
  3. It sounds like what would happen would be.... 1) The Palestinians would decide it's great to be in the majority and let everybody (jews) live happily ever after together. OR.... 2) They would kill them all at worst or force them to leave at best. 3) I guess once part 2 happened we would just say, "welp that's democracy so we have to live with what they just did to those jews"
  4. Your comment is disingenuous. Brisket mentioned a realistic scenario and all you can come up with is that comment?
  5. This is a well thought out post (kudos Brisket) and I am curious how many on this board respond to it. What is the choice of Israel currently? I don't have the answers, but I am pretty sure all Israeli citizens packing up and moving to the US isn't probably going to happen so then what's next for Israel and the region to do. Those that brought up the native Americans in the US, while of course not the same thing, but what would happen if one of the tribes in Oklahoma decided they want their land back and started firing rockets into Texas and killed a thousand people. What would the US government do?
  6. The second down play was a toss to the right so they did mix it up a bit. Watch the OL replay that is posted above of those 4 plays and you will see our OL and blocking sucked on all the plays. I get what you are saying about spreading them out but at the same time, we should have a OL that can block and get a yard for their RB especially when the RB is a beast and you just need to not let him not get swarmed in the backfield by multiple guys.
  7. The center looks really strong on that 3rd down play. Looked like he crumpled and blocked nobody. Pretty sure when your center blocks nobody on a short yardage run there is a good chance the play fails.
  8. This right here. If Sark called a bunch of passing plays at the one yard line and they didn't work everybody on this board, including me, would be screaming, "run the fucking ball up the middle". With Brooks and a decent push from the OL we should have been able to get the ball in the endzone. The OL failed 4 times unfortunately. I am guessing Majors would have made a big impact on one of those 4 plays if he was in but it sucks he got injured. I don't see this game as a loss because of Sark. Was he perfect? No, but neither is the guy in my avatar most weeks and many consider him a pretty decent football coach. We lost because of a few reasons, and they are the reasons that most teams lose a game even when they are the better team. We turned the ball over more than the other team, made mistakes (penalties, dropped balls) and sometimes the ball just bounces better for the other team. Ewers threw a couple of INT's but they weren't as bad as the would-be INT Gabriel threw right into a Longhorns hands that he dropped. Ewers had the "unluckiness" of having his passes tipped up and caught. If one of those tips drops to the ground instead of going right to a defender the game may have played out differently. If on the play where the ball was snapped behind Gabriel and he runs back for it 20 yards or so and it pops right up to his hands instead of him having to fall on it things could have gone differently. They had way more lucky bounces than we did but shit happens. The Cardinals beat the Cowboys a few weeks ago but while I am not a Cowboys fan, it is pretty obvious that Dallas is the better team but sometimes the better team loses.
  9. Always have been. They are the anti UT when it comes to luck.
  10. I was 10 minutes from landing at DFW last night when they shut the airport down and diverted my plane to San Antonio. I ended up in a hotel in San Antonio near the airport and moved to a morning flight to DFW but that flight has been delayed now for 3 hours. Sitting on the plane now hoping to take off and get to Dallas finally. Bad weather sucks along with OU.
  11. I could only come up with a Top 10 since its all I care about. 1) Texas 2) Alabama 3) Wyoming 4) Rice 5) Georgia 6) FSU 7) Ohio State 8.) Michigan 9) Oregon 10) Washington/Penn State (tied) 54) A&M
  12. Bumping this as I am looking at doing a built in grill and thinking of going with the Napoleon Prestige Pro 665. You still happy with the purchase? My old house had a built in Grand Turbo which was still going strong 15 years later but the Napoleon intrigues me. By doing the built in I lose the infrared sear station but the guy at the store kind of said the grill gets plenty hot to sear a steak anyways.
  13. Yeah. I played twice this weekend. Shot a 84 Saturday and a 91 Sunday. Short game killed me on Sunday. Nothing like being 50 years away from the pin, middle of the fairway after 2 shots on a Par 5 and triple bogeying the hole cause I blade a wedge into the sand trap.
  14. I like bush! Wait, what thread am I on?
  15. Texas 2 Bama 0 A last minute safety wins it for the horns due to their dominating Defense. Most likely outcome is actually: Bama 37 Texas 23 (5 FG’s for Sideshow) Bama with 370 yards.
  16. I still own this album. Bought it for the Stevie Nicks song but the Buffett, Joe Walsh and Graham Nash songs are great.
  17. Rip Jimmy. The lyrics below from A pirate Looks at 40 are fantastic. Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothing to plunder I’s and over-forty victim of fate Arriving too late, arriving too late I’ve done a bit of smuggling, I’ve run my share of grass I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast Never meant to last, never meant to last.
  18. This is the cloak room right? The Big 12 has already rigged the season against us bigly. By the way, the Big 12 is being controlled by the Biden Crime Syndicate and China. On a more positive note, we are going to win all our games including the National Championship and a statue of Sark lifting up Ewers holding the championship trophy will be commissioned for the outside of the stadium.
  19. “Didn’t we talk about this before?” Dan Patrick asked Quinn Buckner on a 2018 episode of The Dan Patrick Show. “When you guys played the Chicago Bulls, first round of the playoffs, and you guys went out. It might have been you and [Rick] Robey. And you went out with Bird, and the Chicago Bulls cheerleaders bought you beers, figuring they could get Larry drunk. And then Larry lit them up, and then walked off the floor and walked by the cheerleaders and said, ‘Thanks for the beers.'”
  20. As you can imagine I am a huge Bird fan and that dude would kill it in today's NBA. His only issue would be the shit talking that he would do would probably get him suspended and fined for making some players cry. To me, the below quote from Pat Riley says it all about Larry Bird. "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game, I'd choose Michael Jordan. If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life, I'd take Larry Bird." -Pat Riley
  21. Scheffler needs to throw that putter in the ocean and get another one. It’s the only thing holding him back from winning a lot more tournaments as opposed to just finishing in the top 5.
  22. I am just glad that with our country getting filled up with people that are meaner to each other and angry all the time it’s a good thing we allow the purchase of unlimited fire arms. Those two data points together should lead to some fun times in the future.
  23. The Rockets game would have been 1981 I believe and the opening scene of this season at the Boston Garden was 1984 so I think so they have to get through 3 more years in the next few episodes to end the season where it started. Guess we will get lots of 76ers stuff the rest of this season also.
  24. The exchange between Laszlo and Nadja below was fantastic. Laszlo: The only hairy frog I'm interested in is between your legs my darling. Nadja: It's not just the frog. It's the whole swamp!
