  1. I keep thinking that we need to get Derrick Johnson to keep inviting the top linebackers in the country to his linebacker school, where current UT linebackers also happen to be training.

  4. Quiche better than Chicago-style pizza? Was quiche invented by a fellow Texas longhorn? No. But Chicago-style pizza WAS invented by a Texas Longhorn, Ike Sewell, at Pizzeria Uno in 1943. And not only was Ike a Longhorn, he was an All-Southwest Conference guard as a player on the Longhorn football team from 1926 to 1929. So you hush your dirty mouth.

  5. It seems some here are extremely hesitant to assign any blame in this situation. Let’s try a different word. That word is RESPONSIBILITY. If you’re a camp leader you are responsible for the children in your care. If you are a county official you are responsible for making sure the county is safe for residents and visitors. If you’re a state official you are responsible for making sure the counties are properly prepared for disaster. There were failures at all levels, but nobody is taking any responsibility. And some here are refusing to assign any responsibility. Leaders are supposed to be responsible.

  7. I mean, do you need a connection to a terrible tragedy that occurred in your backyard to honor the victims, many of whom were children. I think the basic connection of being a decent human being should be enough. Anyway, fuck Aggy. Proud of Taffe

  9. I feel this To me, NCAA FB was always so far above NFL. Your childhood friends went to your rival, so you carried that fun by beefing through holiday meetups back home. The fans were more "upper crust" compared to NFL fans. The product just felt superior - more innovation, the lack of free agency (until now), watching some random 3* kid from Tuscola, TX thrive. Plus you had things like MACtion on a Tuesday night, Thursday night conference games, etc. that just hit different than your boring, over-produced TNF or MNF. Rankings also made games more interesting - seeing something like #1 USC losing to unranked Stanford on a Friday night was better than anything the NFL was putting out. All the things that made is special don't feel as special, except maybe the rivalry games. CFB becoming a podcaster playground for degenerate gamblers and hot take donkeys is just.... ugh

  10. I can’t believe we’re debating if sirens based on upstream water levels could have been effective at reducing the death toll. Take the account of the family from the TM article. They woke up to their house on stilts surrounded by water unable to leave the building. And then moments later it got ripped from its footing. You don’t think a siren would have warned them earlier? How much time would they have needed to not be in a house floating down the river? Would they have said β€œit’ll never make it up this high” and stayed? Maybe. But at least someone could have been awake and looking at the river before they were on an island. There have been so many accounts of people waking up to the room they are in full of water.

  16. I’m not the most researched but let me take a stab. Because in 2008 Alex Acosta gave him a non-prosecutorial agreement that wiped out federal crimes - despite that (and after the Miami Herald published a big report in 2018) SDNY worked to find charges that could work around it, and they landed on sex trafficking in order to make the later arrest stick. Additionally, after Epstein’s death in 2019, Maxwell was fighting her charges and I don’t believe she was convicted until 2021 and her appeals (I think) are still pending. Criminal files involving sex with minors don’t become public. This normal handling of sensitive information was just seized on by QAnon and right wing podcasters looking to feed into the pizza gate stuff that Dems run a pedo cult, and it was a convenient way to attack Biden: β€œwho are you protecting!?” β€œRelease the LIST” Meanwhile Trump and Epstein were friends for twenty years and victims talked about meeting Epstein at Maralago - and now Trump won’t shut up about how this is a hoax made up by Dems. Ok sure

  17. maybe they can check in with Comfort, where the sirens worked wonderfully to prevent loss of life in the same event. A place that has struggled with such luck in the past. https://apnews.com/article/texas-floods-sirens-warning-comfort-98701e8c74c680a5704264d863994b90 Given the number of stream/creeks/rivers in the US that rely on such technology - maybe they can check in with other jurisdictions, too. Or no - because they are loud and offensive to the know it all locals that can't be bothered to accept money from a _________ president for such things

  19. You bring up the crux of the matter. A lot of us fondly remember a golden age of college football wherein the entire enterprise had a sense of history and decorum that gave gravitas to the proceedings. There was a generational aspect that we carry on into adulthood. That’s why it’s worth so much money, at the end of the day. I would argue that dumbing it down to the lowest common denominator and featuring a bunch of crass, flavor of the minute celebrities degrades that very institutional sense of decorum and seriousness and will contribute to the erosion of the generational aspect. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, so I would liken it to bringing Howard Stern and Andrew Dice Clay into the mix at the time. How many of us would remember watching games with our family as fondly as we do with those clowns running the show? Of course, I don’t know shit about fuck and I enjoy yelling at clouds, so take it for what it’s worth.

  21. It’s all pretext. All of it. MAGA treats politics as a team sport. Or, more aptly: pro wrestling. There is no logic. There is no moral code. There is no policy. It’s all just β€œI picked the weird orange guy and I will root for him no matter what.” So when the Blue Donkey gouges eyes, it’s a horrible crime and grounds for immediate disqualification. But when Cheeto Benito does the same thing and also smacks his opponent with a steel chair when the ref is distracted? Totally justifiable. It’s not really against the rules, and I’m not sure that there even are any rules. Has anyone ever actually seen a WWE rule book? Does that even exist? If it does, there’s probably an immunity clause for the defending champion. And OH MY GOD THE BLUE DONKEY JUST USED POCKET SANDβ€”WON’T ANYONE HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DISGUSTING VIOLATION OF THE RULES AND COMMON CIVILITY?!?!?

  22. It is the responsibility of state and local government to provide adequate warning systems to protect citizens of the state/county/city. We expect our government to provide the most basic of services, of which a siren system that basically says "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE IF YOU IGNORE THIS ALERT" is pretty fucking basic, short of dragging you out of your home. If people choose to ignore them and die, so be it. If Harris County gets on TV and tells you to evacuate due to a hurricane, with ample warning time, and you ignore it and die, its the fault of the person who opted not to evacuate and not the fault of the local government who gave them ample warning. And if the government is handing you money for a life-saving service, you take it. Instead of playing bullshit politics with it because it came from a black president from the party you don't support.

  23. If absolutely nothing else, sirens wake everyone the hell up and are a blaring declaration that this isn't just another flash flood warning on your cell phone (for those that have them) that probably doesn't directly affect you. It screams local. At minimum, it gets people moving, gets eyes on the river, with precautionary measures being taken. There's no world that sirens wouldn't have saved dozens of lives.

  24. Well said. I don't have children, but the horror of those girls' last living moments was deeply disturbing in a way that many stories are not to me. Again, I think of the transition from being happily sleeping or awake in a snug cabin during a heavy rain turning to absolute deadly chaos. It's haunting. Taaffe's tie is tasteful and understated. It invites a question rather than screaming an answer. Compliments to the man.

  26. Reading the WaPo and WSJ articles, I am not so sure staying in the cabins didn’t actually save some lives both at Mystic and La Junta. Nothing was saving Bubble Inn and Twins, I don’t think, and Mystic will have to pay the price for that given what we know now. After almost 2 weeks of reflection, this isn’t hard, I don’t think. Mystic leadership underestimated the storms and reacted too late. When they did react they probably saved lives. But who knows what happens if they move everyone uphill an hour earlier. Kerr county leadership, who has thousands of kids up and down the river on top of the tourists, did next to next to nothing to alert folks as to the danger until it was too late. They fall squarely in my unforgivable bucket and can additionally get fucked for the subsequent β€œWho, me?” reaction of said leadership.

  27. Lol, reminds me of when we were building our restaurant in Eden and I had to demo an old house on the property. I was using D3 dozer to knock it down. When I knocked one wall down and threw the dozer in reverse I thought "damn look at all the dust". At that point I had already put the dozer in 1st gear and was approaching the house again when I realized it wasn't dust...it was freaking wasps, gazillion of them that had apparently been building nests in the house and walls forever. I slammed the dozer in park and jumped off the dozer and started running as fast as I could on the shoulder along US87. That's when I realized I didn't get the dozer all the way into park, I had it in reverse, and it was going backwards into US87. My one legged ass somehow got back quick enough to avoid a catastrophe and get the dozer out of the highway. Much fun and many stings were to be had by all. NCS bro....

  31. I really, really hope Shaq punches Robert Griffin in the face. I don't care at all about WNBA rivalries. I just want to see Shaq slap Robert Griffin's face so hard that it flies off and lands on Emmanuel Acho's face. Then Shaq mistakes Acho for RG3, on account of him wearing RG3's face, and slaps Emmanuel so hard that both of those faces fly off and then land on Kim Mulkey's face. Then Kim Mulkey mistakenly gets mired in scandal for being in blackface because she was wearing Emmanul Acho's face and RG3's face. Let's face it, exactly all of that is probably about to happen.

  33. Theres a story of a dude that stayed up drinking and watching the storm at an rv park. At this point I dont even remember where its from. Around 1:30 he noticed the water had risen a lot and decided to go in and check the weather. He saw there were a bunch of alerts, came back outside, and the water had risen a shit ton in just minutes. He raised drunken hell banging on everyones rv doors and telling the men he came across to do the same. Everyone got out in time to watch their RVs get swept away. Im sure this story will come out more publicly because it sounds both amazing and completely insane. Unless you were there, Im guessing theres just no way to understand how fast it all happened. It was like a tsunami.

  38. Sure. This flood is a good example. You can't prevent the disaster here (in this case, the flood). But there are multiple points where the death toll could have been dramatically reduced. One of those points is river flood warning sirens. Those warn not just regular river residents, but also visitors (like folks at RV parks), more of whom would have had time to get out/get to high ground. Or a shipwreck. Often, there's multiple things that could have been done to avoid the ship sinking - so, avoid the disaster altogether. Then, even if it couldn't be avoided, having good, practiced lifeboat drills with sufficient lifeboats lessens the losses suffered when the ship sinks. Winter Storm Uri: we couldn't stop the freezing weather from coming. But we could have learned from the lessons of the very close call in February 2011 (when our grid came very close to a Uri-like crash) and taken measures to better winterize our grid, adjust our market to provide for more capacity, etc. Such measures could have helped us avoid the total grid collapse that we suffered in 2021, and a lot fewer people would have frozen to death in their homes. It's not about stopping mother nature. It's about planning for it, and having mechanisms in place to help people stay out of harm's way, meaning fewer people die.
