Texas has led for Harris the entire time and for much of that, heavily. The $9.95ers are pussies when it comes to Saban and Alabama, much like most of the posters on this board. Texas will land Denver Harris, along with Banks and Anderson. There's a good chance Ewers and Brooks get added to the list. We'll find out how willing Texas is to straight win an auction with Stewart. No clue yet on Brown. Anyway, feel free to neg me until the cows come home for this post when Harris signs with Bama. I don't see it. I see a bunch of handwringing writers who squat to pee ginning up concern among their readers.44 points

There are longstanding rumors that Chip Brown is your typical old school sports reporter. By that, I mean he's allegedly a degenerate gambler and alcoholic. There's a longstanding rumor that Chip Brown has been paid to write hit pieces about Texas as an "insider" by benefactors of other programs, particularly Oklahoma and one of their donors in Dallas with ties to Brown from his DMN days. Usually, these hit pieces are very well timed. The fucking star of OU's defense for 2021 will be Nik Bonnito. Bonnito was torn between Texas and OU before SD1 a few years back. Herman and staff believed he gave them a silent. OU needed a backer. Magically, a day or two before SD1, Chip Brown writes a hit piece on Texas' culture as a program. This document gets emailed to Bonnito and mom, and then they have a conference call with OU. He never returned another Texas call, text or email, signed with OU, and has become a star. There's also the simple fact that Chip Brown has been historically wrong repeatedly. So you have a guy that can't respect the HC enough to call him anything but a nickname, as though they're that familiar, with a penchant for being fundamentally wrong and habits that lead to him being compromised by enemies and effectively on another staff's payroll whenever they need him to fuck us. Sarkisian learned from Saban to be very paranoid about the media. Allegedly he had write-ups done on the regular reporters for the staff in the first few weeks. Then he froze out his staff from talking to reporters outside of scheduled press. I'm guessing he was educated on Brown early, and he's rightly not going to cultivate any kind of relationship with him. The bigger question is why CDC continues to use Chip Brown as a mouthpiece when he, in fact, fucking knows better.41 points

You guys know why there is a music board on this forum? Because people who want to discuss music can go there to discuss music. Please go there. Now. And don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. All of you fucking suck. GTFO.29 points

If you don't know that one of our recent signees is on scholarship and know nothing about another recent signee, this probably isn't the board for you. I think OBs, 247, or the football board are probably more your flavor.17 points

Guys, I will come on here and tell you when it is WR X. If he doesn’t enter the portal by this time next month, I’ll say it then. Spooking anything with this one isn’t worth it and the fucking $9.95ers shouldn’t have given any specifics in the first place.13 points

Went out to the prairie today to see if I could find any snakes. Saw a dead garter and ratsnake and was about to leave, then saw this dude about to cross the road. Only the second live Prairie Kingsnakes I have found. Probably 2.5' and very docile (didn't even try to shit on me). Took a few photos and made sure he got to the other side safely.13 points

I celebrate Sark shitting on FCB whenever he gets the chance. It is so amazing to watch just his entire demeanor change and see him give a terse completely literal answer to whatever stupid question FCB is asking. Love it.13 points

I barely knew the guy. Somebody hired him to unrig the election. It was a disastuh. Fired him like a dog, but you won't report that; you're fake news. I won the election by millions of votes, but this loser couldn't find them. Can you believe that? Millions of votes! Then they arrest patriots in the Capitol for walking around and hugging policemen. I saw it on TV.10 points

No, I get what you are trying to say. The problem with your flavor of "both sides-ism" is that it has a huge, fatal flaw: DEGREE. Donald Trump and brisketexan are both liars (both sides!). That is an absolutely true statement. I have told lies in my life. I'm married, after all. So, when it comes to the issue of honesty/dishonesty, Donald Trump and I are equals....according to your view. In reality, Trump's lies, in terms of DEGREE (including the concepts of sheer numerical volume and importance) fucking DWARF mine. I mean, the comparison is like Drew Brees's quarterback performance and mine (after all, we've both thrown a football to other people, therefore, we're the same!). No. Drew Brees is a fucking hall-of-fame record-setting QB with a Super Bowl ring. I'm a chump who's lucky to hit my target at 30 yards in a pickup game. Fucking degree MATTERS. And when it comes to trafficking in flat-out lies, falsehoods, disparagement of fact-based reality, SURE, there are liars on the left. Always have been. Always will be. And their conduct is wrong, and pisses me off. But it's fucking QB brisketexan compared to Drew Brees level shit when we're talking about the right-wing Q-anon Fox News OAN Newsmax Facebook-algorithm bullshit. For fuck's sake, the dominant right wing conversation and approaches to elections is to restrict voting, to claim that any election the lost was due to --and I quote the LEADER OF THE MOVEMENT -- "the most massive election fraud the world has ever seen." It fucking STARTED with the lie of birtherism, and blew up from there. It is a movement completely divorced from truth and reality, covered in a layer of "the best ideas are those that inflict pain on other people" icing. So, no, I do not concede your "both sides are responsible for this" bullshit, because you fail to acknowledge the importance of DEGREE of culpability. I have watched one of our two main political parties descend into LITERAL madness. A political party based on nihilistic madness is a bomb that can only blow up a civilized society. If they hadn't gone off the deep end, the deep division you point to would not be an existential threat.9 points

FFS, if you find yourself even slightly inclined to defend a roided up, pothead comedian and fighting commentator in his jihad against the combined medical advice of the CDC, FDA, and every other civilized public health and disease control entity— would it kill you to just sit this one out. You’re obviously on the wrong side. Just let the “Libs” have this one. Cause I’ll tell you a secret— they aren’t Libs, they’re doctors and all they fucking want is for you not to die or kill anyone else and for all of us to go to a fucking ball game one day. This is not ideological no matter how bad you want it to be, just like weight limit warnings on bridges aren’t restricting your freedom or controlling your movement. I am actually desperate for a constructive conservative debate on lots of things but it’s hard to take complaints about cancel culture seriously when without fail, you want to renew the stupidest gotdamn assholes for another season.9 points

This. We NEED art degrees. We NEED music degrees. We NEED history degrees for damn sure. This is a massive part of humanity. Just because something doesn't turn out a widget or invent a new technology doesn't mean it is useless.8 points

I'm pretty sure we are seeing exactly what happens when we stop making young people commit to those "impractical" studies like literature, history, philosophy, etc. An increasingly large swatch of society has no idea how to think for themselves. The problem isn't impractical coursework or even impractical majors, the problem is that costs have skyrocketed and only a few professional degree plans offer high odds of paying back the cost of a college education in a reasonable timeframe.8 points

Trump is golfing his days away down at his resort in Florida. The most ardent of his supporters are losing the best jobs they will ever have, losing their friends and family, facing federal prison sentences, and Trump doesn’t give a shit about them. I love it. It perfectly sums up his presidency.8 points

I want to say this up front and get it out of the way: I went to HS in the Sugar Land area, and at the time it was hardcore Republican (our Representative was Tom DeLay). Parents were Republicans, I was a Republican all through the 90s (George H. W. was my first Presidential vote), but not hardcore - I didn't care what Clinton did, other than if it required me to be deployed overseas. Surrounded by Republicans at various jobs, in the Army, and even in college (but did not go down the College Republican rabbit hole). Heard way too many hours of Rush Limbaugh (but wasn't whipped up by him, more entertained than anything) When it was clear that George W. was running for the WH, I had friends convince me to join the campaign as a volunteer and then paid worker, with the view that I could use that to get a job outside of the tech industry (I ultimately bailed on that, as I found a tech job I was happy at and had gotten married). I'm not going to rehash everything, but I bailed on Bush and the Republicans for the most part by the time 2004 rolled around. Iraq was a huge issue for me and one that I could not overcome. Palin as VP choice in 2008 was probably the last straw. I had voted for the occasional Democrat for one reason or another, voted for plenty of Libertarians and Constitution Party types, but prior to 2016, really didn't vote for more than a handful of Democrats. The result is that outside of a few relatives and (more and more) friends, and liberals here on Surly, I don't have a solid grasp on Democrats at large. So no, I can't definitively talk about whether both groups engage in this behavior, as I have never actually been a part of a full-blown liberal group or immersed myself in such a campaign, or have spent years only voting for (D). But in my time as a Republican for over a decade, and in my time working for W's campaign, I never saw the wide spread nastiness that I saw in 2016 through now. I was aware of the rumors that Rove was trying to destroy McCain with the "McCain has a black baby" rumors, but I also knew about the rumors (and some of the truths) that other candidates were trying to bring W down with in the primaries. I'm now well aware of Newt's war against the Clintons, much more aware than I was then - I was more concerned with getting laid and getting paid than who Bill was banging or Hillary was executing, but in hindsight, that feels more like a vendetta against the Clintons than anything, and feels more "localized". I do know that I didn't see George W spend his press conferences pushing personal vendettas against the Democrats and he wasn't going around to rallies getting people to chant "Lock him (Al Gore or Kerry or Bill) up!" and supporting groups that believed the liberals were literally demon-possessed. For all of his faults, I didn't see George W embracing the batshittery coming out of the Alex Jones camp (and in fact Jones despised Bush). I didn't see Obama going around to rallies, to cheers of "Lock McCain up again!" or "Lock Mitt up!", and he didn't spend his time embracing batshit extremist movements that believed Republicans were cannibalistic humanoid underground pedophiles (CHAPs) that were living off of the blood of children. I didn't see Bush or Obama cheer on people at rallies who wanted their political opponents locked up (or worse), or talk about beating up liberals or conservatives in the crowd. But over the last 4 years, I've watched Donald Trump constantly trash Democrats at press conferences, at rallies, on twitter. I've seen him embrace groups that believe liberals are cannibalistic pedophiles, and that believe he is going to round up his enemies and execute them on the steps of the Capitol or wherever. I've seen him constantly cheer on people who want his political opponents locked up. I have seen Trump deliberately spread misinformation about things, simply because liberals embraced whatever it was, including misinformation about covid, that could harm or even killed his followers. I have seen Trump encourage his followers to "liberate" states like Michigan, that had liberal leaders. And prior to 2016, I saw Trump try and do everything possible to make his fans believe that Obama was not a legitimate President and American. And it all culminated in January 6th. George H. W., Bill Clinton, George W. and Obama never went so hard in the paint in trying to trash people with different ideologies. Not even Newt at his worst in the 90s was trying to sow chaos on such a widespread level. And the GOP as a whole is still refusing to disavow the worst of what Trump said and did. And for all of their faults, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, etc. don't devote their entire evening blocks to just trashing the shit out of anybody who doesn't have a liberal viewpoint, unlike Fox News who has embraced and pushed the idea that liberals are literally destroying the country and won't be happy until the Russians or Chinese or whoever take over.7 points
