  1. Just learned that my 66 year old father is getting on a plane to Frankfurt and will be flying into Krakow tomorrow. He's rented an Airbnb and a van and will be shuttling refugees from border into Krakow. He's been in touch with a friend who was doing the same so there's an existing setup and still need for help. He's bringing 250 backpacks in 10 duffel bags to hand out to folks when they cross. He's a good dude.

  4. I'm still willing to give Sark a chance to prove it this year. There are enough positives - offensive scheme, recruiting, first half performance in most of our games - to hold out hope that last year's problems were some combination of personnel, team chemistry, fixable coaching deficiencies, and bad luck. But this is the year that those problems need to be addressed. The personnel issues might not be fully solved (the DL, OL, LB holes are still glaring), but at least it looks like he knew enough to recruit the DL & OL heavily. The team chemistry - he brought in younger coaches and is trying to instill player accountability. Will it be enough or are we too dysfunctional to have a turnaround this soon? Fixable coaching mistakes - He didn't replace PK. Is one bad season over the last 10 years an indication of a shitty coach, or personnel issues? I guess we'll find out. Was the terrible offense in second half of games due to poor coaching/poor playcalling? Was it out of shape players? Poor team psyche? Those are things that can be fixed. Bad Luck - 3 or 4 little things in the OU game could have gone different and we win (out of bounds catch for OU, out of bounds no-catch for UT, missed QB tackle). Winning that game likely plasters over some team culture issues, and maybe we don't have PTSD vs OK State & Baylor and we win those games? Right now, Sark's Texas report card is one big Incomplete. If you want to put all of the blame on Sark, and say "he mis-evaluated the roster, doesn't know how to motivate the team, didn't fix the defensive scheme issues, didn't make good second half adjustments, didn't fire PK, etc.", I understand where you're coming from. There are plenty of negatives to choose from and say "He's not gonna work out". I think he can turn most of those things around this year. We'll have better skill players, much improved QB play, possibly better OL play (if the freshman contribute well). On defense, perhaps Fat Gare can bring about improved LB play, better secondary, and we can cobble together some sort of DL that's not bottom 100 in Div1. If a possibly lethal offense and a slightly improved defense can bring about some early success and the team chemistry turns around, it could be a solid season. There are enough examples of second year coaches making the leap (Saban at Bama, Aranda at Baylor, etc.). Maybe our luck will turn around and we can see a similar improvement. Or, I'm just a sucker and Lucy is gonna pull the football out from under me one more time.

  6. Will do. Yeah, he loves that style and is the reason I still collect Calvin and Hobbes. With the loss of my Stepmom in December I am on his ass to draw more. Might just have to drive up to see him, show him these comments and build him a studio. Thanks for the kind words. If I can get him to do more I will post fo sho.

  7. I thought it was reported that he had a heart attack back in early March? He disappeared for a couple of weeks, then just reappeared with no explanation. Now he's had another heart attack? Who is he, Fred Sanford?

  8. When “moderation” equals muting people just for having a different point of view, well, that’s censorship. Sorry. When you’re publicly traded & you play that game thinking no one can touch you and then you find out how very wrong you were? Delicious.

  10. The thing that drives me batty about the people complaining that Biden caused inflation by "printing money" completely ignore that the majority of stimulus checks and PPP loans were doled out during the Trump administration. And I'm not blaming Trump necessarily, so much as I'm pointing out that he "printed money" as much as anyone and the loudest critics of this policy conveniently forget it.

  13. Love the sudden CR concern for US oligarchy, when about a dozen funds basically control Wall Street. Most of them have been pushing the leftist ESG and similar ideals onto the companies they invest in. Activist investors getting seats on the boards of companies like Exxon to force commitment to green energy goals like reduced fossil fuel use. A significant factor in the energy companies no longer aggressively pursuing expanded drilling opportunities. That's just one example in one industry, plenty of more examples across the spectrum. We already basically have an oligarchy in the US.

  14. A white trash staple in the Brown household when I was growing up. Something my mom called a Denver Sandwich. I guess it was slightly inspired by a Denver omelette. Ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and eggs mixed with Mayo and mustard. Ideally served on cheap white bread but all I had was a few pieces of sour dough.

  16. Any of you arguing that this kid had it coming or got what he deserved or that this is somehow a return to the good old days of adults who should know better beating up kids for making the kinds of poor, irresponsible decisions that kids have always made need to get a fucking grip. Kids fuck up. That doesn’t make them irredeemable. Every single one of us fucked up when we were teenagers, and only some of y’all turned out to be loathsome scumbags as adults. It’s our duty as adults to behave with restraint and wisdom, not lash out like angry, overgrown toddlers every time some punk insults you.

  21. Should people be called science deniers if they believe a subset of the population absolutely should not get the vaccine because the risks of side effects from the vaccine far outweigh the risks of the virus?? Well, they were. On here, and on Twitter. And actual doctors who do actual research and made those comments were given the cancellation treatment. And they were right for publishing their data and for fighting to show its relevance.
