  1. As to Ibraheem, I say as Good Christians and Americans we should give any young man who made an innocent mistake in judgment and can cover man-to-man or zone in the Big 12 a second chance. It's the right thing to do.

  11. Oh, I completely agree with that and there's no doubt that having eyes on him and the increased testing, etc .. helped him keep on the path. Which is a good argument for why so many of these kids need to get second and third chances. I can tell you now that I didn't get in legal trouble for the things I did when I behaved poorly and made incredibly stupid choices but that's sheer dumb luck. Having 20 bars of Xanax wouldn't have scratched the surface of my discretions from 16-23ish. Sheer. Dumb. Luck. I truly hope that he continues to do all of the outreach that he has been tasked with as well, once he isn't forced to do it, because it's super valuable to kids in the community to see that you can overcome.

  14. 9 man limit this morning by 8:00 to kick off the last weekend of the duck season. It was pretty fast and furious. Dog didn't know what to do with the birds falling as she was bringing them back to the blind. Then we finished off the morning with duck kabob tacos. Going after them again tomorrow with 5 guys and we left with birds still coming in so hopefully a repeat will happen.

  15. Christ. Any average slapdick D-1 coach should be able to go 8-5 at Texas, because he'd have good enough players to do so and a not-overwhelming schedule. Here is the average record for the last 3 coaches: Mack: 10-3 Strong: 5-7 Herman: 8-5 If 8-5 is a "replacement level" coach, then Mack was +2, Strong was -2.5, Herman was 0. That quick and meaningless math actually sounds about right to me. Mack was really good, Strong was really bad, Herman was really average. We can argue all we want about how they got there. Mack has always been (fairly) criticized for being too conservative, for the OU losses, he wasn't a great Xs and Os guy, etc...but the bottom line is that he averaged 10-3 over 16 years. If you want to say it was due to his talent, that's fine - assembling that talent was his job. If you want to say he was a CEO coach, whatever, great - he was a damn good assembler of talent, and his teams generally weren't stupid and they were generally fundamentally sound. That goes a long way when you have far more talent than 90% of your opponents. We can get into "late-stage Mack" all we want (which interestingly, was 1 Charlie Strong season and 3 Tom Herman seasons), but I'll evaluate him on the entirety of his tenure. We can argue all day long about what Charlie inherited. It wasn't great. But he also did nothing in 3 years but get worse. Plenty of coaches have taken over worse situations and have turned it around by year 2 or 3. Plenty of coaches adjust to the roster they have, or recruit badasses, or hire innovative coaches...Charlie did none of that. He had a shit AD, yes. But Charlie's teams were consistently bad and showed absolutely no signs of improvement in 3 years. Herman wasn't horrible; he was just no better than average. We all pretty much agree on his shortcomings, and he too showed no ability to fix them. He's in the meaty part of the bell curve when it comes to most potential hires. The details are fine for discussion, but this is the bottom line.

  16. Not really. You think $2k is doing anything for those people? Wages have been stagnant for decades, and tuition costs have looked like GME last week ever since the same group they were just betting against got bailed out in 2008. There is little to no hope for a secure economic future for a large majority of this country. Hope of striking it rich when things aligned in their favor was well worth it to them. Not to mention the thought of sticking it to the people doing their damndest to keep them in their current position. Populism and this financial uprising are symptoms of a broken system. People are tired playing a rigged game. They just paid $2k to finally drop the illusion of fairness. Did you see the kid who made $25k cashing out his options and immediately spent the entirety paying off his student loans? It was always going to end up in the same hands whether they lost it in the market or used it for rent. Most of them would do it all again knowing they'd lose just to ride the wave of hope again.

  21. Aside for it absolutely mattering for the nature of the crime whether he had a weapon, if it were your family who fucked up you might care whether they were given a 2nd chance for a stupid decision they made at 17. I don’t know enough about the kid or the crime to have an opinion on letting him in but summarily throwing him aside because of one fuckup is bullshit. Days ago a “thug” who was popped dealing drugs in high school that was allowed to enroll announced he was done with football to go to med school.

  28. I’d love to see a 3 circle Venn diagram with people who are super excited about Sark as the new HC, those who think Leitao was a wasted scholarship. and those who think 16 year old kids don’t deserve second chance. I shouldn’t expect any overlap, right?

  33. I’m scheduled for Moderna on Monday at Kelly Reeves, and I’m torn...my weight is close to the obese level, though I’m not your typical Walmart scooter-looking dude and I have high BP but it’s under control with meds. My wife is an educator, got hers last week and happened to check the link today seeing availability...so she called my parents first, and then called me to sign up with all of us able to book before the appointments dried up 20m later. This rollout has been a complete free-for-all with arbitrary guidelines and total first come / first serve for those of us outside frontline medical staff. I had no way of knowing if the person who would have taken my slot was an 80 year old with multiple conditions taking care of his dementia wife, or a single 25 year old athlete Internet wizard in it for the lulz. I’ve got two young kids that depend on my wife and I being available to feed, bath, get to school/daycare etc for them...they’re not old enough to reliably take care of themselves for a few hours. Basically I’m borderline 1B and decided that I had an opportunity to take care of my family by getting vaccinated when the opportunity arose, during a rollout with unclear priorities and no way of knowing if I was marginalizing someone more deserving. So I thought about it for 2m then ran with it. You can neg me for it, but I knew I’d heavily regret putting a burden on my family if I got sick because I chose to make a call on moral grounds if I didn’t even know for certain I was helping someone worse off than myself.

  36. What are we doing here? For fucks sake, no, the program wasn't improving under Strong. He won 6 games his first season and then never won that many again. The talent wasn't "historically bad" either. I just quickly scanned the roster and saw at least 16 NFL players were on the roster when he took over. He recruited and coached more in his next two seasons. Yes, the OL was hammered dogshit when he got there but most first year coaches would kill to come in to a program with as much talent to work with as Charlie had. And as many resources to improve the weak spots. You know who had a historically bad roster when he took over? Matt Rhule at Baylor. They sucked his first year and only won a single game. Yet somehow he managed to turn things around in the same amount of time Charlie had (without the benefit of highly ranked recruits) and win 7 games his 2nd season and 11 his 3rd. Good coaches can do that. Anyone blaming Charlie going 12-15 at Texas on Mack Brown is delusional. It was time to move on from Mack but we picked the wrong guy. Charlie's failure at Texas is 100% on him.
