  2. He's telling me he's tired and ready to sleep. The dog who would eat a bowl of rocks if you put it in his dish won't eat a bite. Cant even stand up. Drank some water but can't get him up to pee. As brutal as this is, I know it's time. Best dog ever.

  5. Well that was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done. How is it that an animal buries itself so deeply into your heart and soul. He was my best buddy in the world. Not seeing him waiting in the window every night when pull in the driveway will be tough. But his time had come. And doing it at home made it better. He will leave a massive hole in our hearts. My kids have really known very little of life without him. RIP, doggy. You were the best. And thanks surly. Sharing the experience with others that have gone through it is a bit cathartic.

  7. This will be a fun cycle. Lots of twists and turns. Brooks isn't number 1 or 2 on Saban's board, so how hard he'll press is important. If he goes all in, Brooks goes to Bama, should that happen soon. Brooks isn't the type to do a bunch of decommitting, supposedly. The academic sway with Texas, ND and Stanford put OU in a weaker position than they might think they are. I'm still not bullish on Texas getting him, but it's not a long shot. Texas has a shot with Citizen for several reasons, but a big one could be Bama and LSU getting their top targets and having a full TB room. He's a fucking beast, so I'd like to have him. That could be a reason they haven't pushed all in on Miller or Jones yet - they're not totally delusional about a chance with him. That isn't the case with the TB in Baton Rouge. Hyphen committing to ASU will be nice and all for them, but they're going to have to win in a big way to justify getting the ink. He's as likely to sign with USC as anyone. ASU losing, USC imploding, and Texas/Murphy staying on him isn't the craziest scenario. He continues to be a guy I covet. The Hudson stuff is funny. Apparently recruiting a guy that views himself as an alpha dog WR nationally as a CB wasn't a strong move by the prior staff, specifically because Herman didn't see him as a WR "fit" in his "system". I'll believe the Perkins stuff when that dude shows up to move in on campus. My guess on the possible next commit, in rank of probability: Allen, Campbell, Banks. Anyone got it different? Besides Perroni, of course.

  11. I got pulled over by a narcotics officer in Lafayette, LA last night as I was driving back to Houston from reffing a basketball game. The officer (insert bro name here) said I drove on the middle lane lines at least 3ft on both my left and right and that's why he pulled me over. Now, I can legit believe this because I was definitely on my phone trying to pull up at podcast at that point and was halfway paying attention. He asked to see my license, and of course I already have it on the visor to just easily pull out and make it not look like I'm reaching for something. He goes back to his car for a good 5 minutes then comes back to ask me to step out of the vehicle. He starts asking me where I was going and where was I coming from--the usual. Then he immediately asks do I have any drugs or narcotics in the car. Me: "No sir." Narcotics Bro: "You sure?" Me: "Yes, I'm sure sir." He does the above but asks me about any potential guns in the car or any large sums of cash. Me: "No sir." Narcotics Bro: "You sure about that?" Me: "Yes sir, no guns, knives, or any weapons. I don't carry cash--cards only." At this point, I could tell Narcotics Bro was getting a little edgy because he just knew he caught me in something. He goes back to his car to do something with my license again (I presume) and this takes a while. He then comes back to me, and I could tell he thought I was a dumbass. He asks about suitcases in the car (how many), if anyone other than myself packed my bags, or if I had traveled with anyone else on my trip at any point. The answer was clearly no to all of those questions. Narcotics Bro: "Yeah, so your story doesn't quite add up, so I'm going to need to search your vehicle. Do you mind if I do that?" Me: "I don't consent to that, so no you can't search my car." Narcotics Bro: "Is there a reason why you don't want me to search your car?" Me: "No, no reason but you don't have a warrant to do that, so no. And actually I'm getting a little scared here." Narcotics Bro: "Why, because you know you have some weed or pills in there?" Me: "Nah, I'm scared because I'm Black and you're a White officer and we both know how these situations typically end up." Narcotics Bro: "Dude, I understand. My body cam is right here, and I have a Black Wife!" Me: He goes back to his car again for forever while I'm counting semis going by, and he comes back to tell me since I don't agree to a search then the K9 unit will have to be called. I say gleefully "okay" because I know I don't have jack shit in my car. I'm in a rental (shoutout Avis) with Georgia plates so I think this didn't help. He asks to see the agreement and I give it to him. He looks it over for a few minutes then says "hey, how much did you pay for this rental" and I'm thinking bro, you have the agreement in your fucking hand. But nonetheless, I blurt out the exact amount. He looks on the agreement, sees I'm right, and I can see he's getting frustrated. He later asks why I don't take my own car, which I can assume is just because he's trying to catch me in something to which I response "because it's brand new and I don't want to put the miles on it." K9 Asian bro comes, and Cujo is barking like crazy. He talks with Narcotics Bro for a bit then the search begins. I see K9 bros face and it looks like "you called me out here for this waste of time shit" type faces. I'm smiling like a mofo because Narcotics is about to look like a fool. While Cujo is circling the car, I start to make small talk about the weather, Lafayette eateries, the traffic, and just other bullshit because I know he now knows he's just wasted both of ours time. 3 circles for Cujo, no dice, and back to the unit he goes. Asian K9 officer with the look of "waste of time" on his face walking back. He then says he's just gonna let me go with a warning and that it sounds like I was just tired, something I told him when he first stopped me. He's had my license the entire time but before he gives it back, he holds it up one last time, shines his flashlight on it and just twists the license in his hand--this goes on for 30 seconds. I'm sitting here thinking that if my license was fake, you would have seen that 25 minutes ago when you did the exact same thing. He hands it back then suggests I go to the Exxon on the next exit and get a red bull or some bangs (wtf???) to drink so I can wake up a little. Long story short--I'm definitely not traumatized by this situation, but I'm still a little irked that my complete, 100% honest story to him gets a response of basically "I think you're lying so I need to search your car." I'm damn near 40--I ain't got time to be hauling shitty ass weed across state lines. Just wanted to get this off my chest. It still feels like I dreamt this as I can't believe it happened. Not sure what to think really.

  15. Wait a got damn minute. I know everybody is riding the all gas no brakes momentum right now, but are we just going to pretend that the LSU update didn't happen? My head is about to explode from the names on there. When Trevonte Citizen doesn't even crack the top 5 all name list in a single update, you know shit is out of wack. Decoldest Crawford might be the single greatest name ever. Jaheim Oatis. JaDarian Rhym. D'arco Perkins-McAllister. J'mond Tapp. Shone Washington. J'mari Monette. Laterrance Welch. Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me?

  18. If you haven't deleted your Facebook yet, that's on you. (Not you specifically - girl, I would never call you out, I'm scared of you). Zuckerberg doesn't care and never will. And spare me the "keep in touch with family" thing - if you really want to keep in touch with Cousin Dingus in Bumfuck, Texas, you can pick up a phone and call him instead of wading through his Facebook conspiracy theory posts.

  19. I promise there are some chapped asses in El Campo tonight. That town is ate up with aggy. I’ve lived there. Had some tell me one night if the Longhorns played the Soviet Union they would root for the Russians. I’m here for every bit of it. Aggy will always suck and this knife in their heart from the local kid is chefs kiss.

  20. This is more of a fuckup by LinkedIn than Coca Cola anyway. The "less white" shit came from a LinkedIn online training module that Coke showed to employees. LinkedIn has already said they're going to change it. But seriously, Coke Zero could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and I'd still drink at least one per day.

  21. There are human beings that exist in our reality who hang on this mans every single word. I have never seen a more cautious man, I gamble on more farts at work than he gambles on crystal balls. And let me tell you, me betting wrong on a fart at work means a hell of a lot more than him missing on a crystal ball on a 17 year old kids decision. Who’s employer do you think would be more pissed off, mine when I shit myself in the conference room or his when Landon Hullaby commits to Oregon?

  23. I listen to too much NPR than is good for me and lately I've noticed a trend. If there is something terrible going on in the country, they invariably point out that "of course this disproportionately affects people of color," and then that's what we hear about. And they are forever dredging up monstrosities from the past for...not any great reason I can see. I think this is extremely misguided. Covid is not racist. Poor people of every hue are affected disproportionately, and while poverty rates are highest among people of color, they are not the only poor people in America. Which is what NPR's reporting strongly suggests. POC=poverty. Nobody white is poor, and every person of color is somehow more susceptible to every social ill out there. Which creates a problem in two ways -- I believe it causes compassion fatigue among some whites, who eventually wonder "Why can't these dang people of color get their shit together?" and resentment from poor whites who are always left out of this "conversation," as NPR would probably call it. NPR has bought in whole-hog to the idea that race is the sole determinant of social outcomes in this country and that class has nothing to do with it at all. It's a pernicious message and one that in the end only perpetuates racism and has created a whole industry of (mostly white) anti-racists who go around telling other white people they are all racists for the most gratuitous reasons. This is ugly but true, but when LBJ declared war on poverty, often as not he used little Deliverance kids in the posters and ads. He didn't want to allow the racists to contain poverty to the "people of color" of his day, so he put a snot-nosed, broken-teeth, tow-headed face on the problem, and you know what? That is not all that inaccurate. There are millions of poor white kids out there. This is the kind of idea that gets people killed in this country though. So long as MLK kept to "his people," he was tolerated. But then once he started in on uniting the poor of all races, that was all she wrote. That was also Fred Hampton's idea, and he arrived it at is much sooner than MLK did. Here's a song from that era in Chicago -- "Mighty mighty children, unite yourself in power, for black and white power's gonna be the tower..." "It really don't make no difference, if you cut, you gonna bleed..." Same goes for covid and a whole bunch of other shit. I am not saying police brutality is not more of an issue in the Black community or anything like that. What I am saying is that this well-meaning white liberal message that the only poor people are people of color and that they are always in need of assistance is counterproductive at best and downright racism-producing at worst. It perpetuates the idea that "people of color" are "the other" and always basket cases. No good can come from that at all.
