  3. My grandmother’s brother stormed the beaches as a 17 yo, 75 years ago. Enlisted as a 16 yo. He was injured on D Day + 6 and his war was over. He went on to live a wonderful life in San Antonio.

  5. Here are some things that are allegedly pretty current, should you choose to believe. This is broken into posts for ease of consumption purposes. This one is Offense. -I've mentioned before that Johnston attempted to commit at some point earlier this spring and they pushed back, wanting to see more in their evaluation of his hands. This has since been walked back. Texas would take his commitment right now if he wanted to commit. He's a hard kid to read, but they want him. -Achane and Cooper are both apparently slots. RB2 is an open question, but neither of these guys are that guy. They'd take either one of them right now nonetheless. -Said this somewhere too, but it looks like they're done with George and Evans and all of their bullshit. Does that mean a call and request to visit wouldn't change that? I personally doubt it. I think we'd hear that we're right back in it and had it the whole way. Right. I hope that is not true because I'm at the point where I think these guys can fuck right off and I'll never think another thing of it. -3 months ago, we all thought we knew something at TB. I said they were serious about Robinson, in this thread. I also said Evans was always going to be the #1 priority. New shit always comes to light and only Siths should speak in absolutes. Nonetheless, I like where things are headed now, and I'll be pretty disappointed if Evans reemerges, but I'm sure I'll find a way to rationalize it. As to the other RB spot, like I mentioned above, I don't think many have a clue on that currently. -It's not clear how clean Wilson's recruitment will be. Seems clean. Hope so and such. But will Cristobal let a high value target go to Texas without seeing if there's a price that can change minds? No, he will not. So this will be interesting, but don't invest your recruiting self-esteem into it. -Mentioned this earlier, but Lindberg has a ticking clock. Big, guard-ish, and soft isn't ideal anyway, but there's a bragging rights element and so forth. I don't think Texas wants to see him elsewhere, but they might not be waiting around for bullshit past the next month or so. SLC guy is apparently a pure tackle prospect. Some of you dorky OL enthusiasts can fact check that take. As always, it's recruiting, nothing is ever certain, apparently even after the ink is dry these days. If something I mention becomes incorrect, I'll circle back if I notice it and/or remember it. I know some people are too dense to fathom the fluidity such as fucktards like VaHorn, but assume the rest of you get it.

  6. Here's Defense: -Akin to the Lindberg/SLC info, I mentioned earlier something similar regarding Umanmainlyman and Blidi. I’ll be surprised if Blidi leaves without an offer. There are only two ways in which that could occur – first, the level of competition seen on his film is so bad that one workout completely invalidates the view on him and second, if Oscar Giles misses the entire workout because of his 3 hour afternoon nap. -3 months ago, none of us knew what the fuck was going on at DB. Now, it looks like Ransom (if you can get him), Washington, and Thompson, JR, if they can get them all at Safety, and then Ringo (if you can get him), Crawford, and Rogers if you can get them all. Alford and Eaton are interesting guys if some of the others fall through. Would they take 6? Don't know. These things usually work themselves out and someone will choose to go somewhere else if they feel the position is too heavy in their class. Texas will have attrition after 2020 due to the NFL at DB unless injuries or crazy shit interferes. -The notion that Ringo is all about Georgia because of some big money moment isn't true. He might wind up there and money might matter, but that's not the driver unless something gets insane, and more on that later. -Ransom's number 1 was Stanford, but he apparently isn't getting in, so they don't make the public cut. His recruitment is clean, seemingly. Can the legitimate DBU beat back the hyped DBU of late? -Broughton isn’t going to Arkansas unless the entire family was worked on, Manchurian Candidate style. -In spite of his brother walking on at OU and folks talking up OU who cover this and get paid due to clickcount, Dorbah is coming to Texas unless they really fuck something up this summer. -There's a stud LB who happens to be too short for Bama and Georgia's liking. He's playing ball in south Georgia named Tisdol or Tisdale. He'll probably wind up being a 3 or 4 year starter for Muschamp due to flying under the radar. Texas fucked up the Josh White recruitment due to size concerns and hubris. Maybe they take a crack with this guy, if someone like Watson SR thinks he vets out well. Who knows? As always, it's recruiting, nothing is ever certain, apparently even after the ink is dry these days. If something I mention becomes incorrect, I'll circle back if I notice it and/or remember it. I know some people are too dense to fathom the fluidity, but assume the rest of you get it.

  9. The US president harassing US citizens over their choice of peaceful protest and calling for them to lose their employment is most definitely a violation of those citizen's first amendment right to peaceful assembly and protest. You seriously don't know that? You need to get your life together you muppet.

  10. Yeah, the problem was that the central premise was bad. But the storytelling was still solid and S5 had some of the best scenes in the series. For the sake of those watching it for the first time, I'll spoiler the rest of my comments.

  11. When I was about 16 we were sitting in Section 102 and some old in front of me told me to quit clapping because it was going to rupture his ear drum. So I did what any good fan would do, and I stayed about 20x louder the rest of the game. Fuck him.

  13. The biggest problem is that it sounds like these teens are bad ass. They cut off your puny locks and swim and throw rocks whenever they god damn well please. You putting cameras in or calling the cops isn't going to stop them. My advice is to leave them alone or get a new haircut and enroll at their high school and see if you can infiltrate their group. But it's not going to be easy because those teens sound cool as hell.

  16. My grandfather stormed the beach on D-Day. Would've never known about it except that it was listed on his discharge form as one of the campaigns he participated in. He also spent time in North Africa and in Poland, IIRC, where they liberated a concentration camp. He had written a letter to my hometown newspaper about what the concentration camp was like and my grandma had the newspaper clipping. He only mentioned WWII once. We were watching some war movie and he mentioned that they were coming out of a pub in England while the Germans were bombing and the dropping bombs sounded like lawnmower engines. Movies never got the sound right.

  19. I generally agree, but it's important to have the tribes agree to it (like Florida State did). North Dakota and Illinois weren't able to convince them it was a positive portrayal. Also having a white dude wear facepaint as the mascot is a bit iffy.

  21. On to controversy and miscellany: -Two white WR coaches means Texas needs a black WR coach in order to compete for some of these recruits. It doesn't help that Mehringer is whiter than a motherfucker. Of course, go fucking moneywhip Brewster or Traylor if you've got to go full whitey. There are numerous qualified coaching candidates that can relate to some of the prima donna, showtime WR targets like Demas, Bridges, and Wease. Guys like that have mocked UT's staff. We lack the right guy(s) at WR coach and the results mostly bear that out. If that's taboo, sorry for triggering. This isn't political. It's recruiting, and people want to work with and commit to people that they think "get them". -20-23 in the class, with room to go after guys in the transfer portal, as it both giveth, and taketh away. I believe that they're grossly underestimating some attrition from the lower end of the depth chart, but whatever. Texas feels good about its talent level and won't be running players off, which is going to be an interesting contradiction with what is set to occur to the east of Austin in beautiful and lit College Station. -Talk of lump sums at this stage being tossed around in big ways for recruits is not likely to be true. Visit money to handlers for UOVs, camps, OVs, sure. $100K? $200k? Not probable at this time of the cycle. If you just follow game theory logic and negotiating strategy, that move right now doesn't behoove a bidder at this stage anyway. Not saying big numbers won't close the deals, but it will go down more like Sanders last cycle, in the waning hours of mid-December and early February. As always, it's recruiting, nothing is ever certain, apparently even after the ink is dry these days. If something I mention becomes incorrect, I'll circle back if I notice it and/or remember it. I know some people are too dense to fathom the fluidity, but assume the rest of you get it.

  23. Here's just a few examples from what we know right know: 7-8 counts of obstruction of justice numerous counts related to his dangling of pardons to encourage witnesses to not cooperate with Mueller's investigation hundreds of violations of the Constitution's prohibition against foreign emoluments (every foreign dollar spent at his hotel, among many examples) hundred of violations of the Constitution's prohibition against domestic emoluments (e.g. diverting secret service dollars into his golf courses, among many examples) at a minimum dozens, perhaps hundreds of counts of violating the Constitution's duty that he take care that the laws be faithfully executed (e.g. his attempts to interfere with AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner because he hates CNN) Hell, I just picked that list off the top of my head in less than one minute, and I hardly remember anything that happened more than a week ago at this point. There's so much more. His administration has been an absolute tsunami of impeachable conduct. Remember when Kushner was looking for a billion dollar bailout from Qatar for his building at 666 Fifth Avenue and they told him to fuck off, then Trump suddenly supported a Saudi/UAE blockade of Qatar where our CENTCOM for the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia is fucking located (against the advice of literally every adviser but Jared)? Remember how after that Brookfield (whose second largest shareholder is the Qatar Investment Authority) took out a 99-year lease at Kushner's building and prepaid all of its rent to bail him out? I'm pretty certain using American foreign policy resources to strong-arm another country into giving your son in law a billion dollars is impeachable. Give us two months of impeachment inquiries with court-enforced compliance with subpoenas and any halfway competent attorney will be able to draft Articles of Impeachment that are 500 pages or longer. lulz, catching up on the thread I realized I totally forgot about the conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws, and there's still a lot of extremely shady likely-criminal conduct from his campaign and inauguration. I might have significantly underestimated at 500 pages.

  31. Technically, I think a comma splice is when two independent clauses are joined with a comma and without a conjunction. He has a conjunction but because it's followed by a dependent clause, he doesn't need a comma. Yet this isn't a comma splice, just an unnecessary comma. Maybe we should make a sentence diagram followed by a comma decision tree.

  35. An effective treatment for AD is the holy grail of neuroscience development at the moment. Pfizer and many many other companies have spent billions trying to bring novel AD drugs to market. All of the recent develop programs have failed (I think they are going after the wrong targets). In this case, Pfizer had weak signals from exploratory observational studies based on administrative claims data. By their rationale, the biological plausibility for a true effect was unlikely since etanercept doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. Given the study design and the limitations of claims in particular to identify AD, dementias, and other forms of cognitive impairment as endpoints, and given the history of failures in this therapeutic area, I don't find fault in taking a skeptical posture wrt these data when considering a development program that can run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. An extremely high risk proposition all things considered. In this case, the only fault that I find is that Pfizer should have published the findings of their analysis for consumption by the scientific community. If after a careful examination of the findings others want to use chase after a TNF treatment for AD, they should be free to do so.

  37. Luhnow on 790 just a little while ago:- Straw is exciting! Showing fans why we were so happy about having him up. Teams have called about his availability in trade talks but we have kept him out for now. Think teams believe we don't value him as much as we do.- What makes guys untouchable? Nobody is. But obviously the high profile guys will require an extraordinary return. Mentioned some recent examples like Kyle Tucker rumors.- Straw was in AA 2 years ago and we talked about calling him up for his speed in the playoffs for the ALCS and WS. Mentioned Fisher filling that role instead, scoring on Bregmans hit FTW.- Very happy with how the draft played out, mentioned a few players and their tools- Asked about disappointment with Correa situation: Reality is that players are always trying to be their best, even when it comes to getting treatment off the field. It is unfortunate, but nice to have a 10 game lead so you dont have to rush guys back. More important to have everyone healthy for stretch run. - Really appreciating that Derek Fisher is getting an opportunity. Something different this time around. He feels like he belongs in the majors, which is why we see him playing so well. When Springer and the rest come back we are going to have to push some guys down, but later in the year with expanded rosters it will be great that these guys are getting big league exerience.- On Corbin Martin: he will be back. The stuff is elite. How to sequence pitches and not fall behind is something to learn in AAA. Has all the weapons. Just focus on getting ahead instead of trying to nibble. Learning curve. Next time he comes up he will be even better. Mentioned DK's path in relation to Corbin, going through ebbs and flows.- Every night he gets a notification about Alavarez mashing, but people need to realize even Tucker is playing well down there. Want to bring Alvarez up but have him STAY up, and not flip back and forth. - Gonna continue to evaluate what we have in trades/acquisitions but will likely be active in the market as the season goes on. Mentions potential to obviously add rotation piece.

  40. This is one of the stupidest things y'all have ever tried to gaslight us with. If Trumpublicans wanted Mueller to testify, he'd have been before the Senate the day after the report was turned in. McConnell doesn't fuck around and his base celebrates when he plays politics. He hasn't hauled Mueller before the Senate because he knows how it would play out.
