    1.  Told you so. 
    2. Brock Cunningham is a dirty POS and I hope nothing but the worst for him. 
     

    Fuck you if you disagree. Don’t care. 

    Uh-huh. I always curse those whose opinions don't matter to me. Work through your self-contradiction. You super duper greatly care what the folks on this board think about your opinions. That's why you come to a board not meant for you and tell us your opinions on things. Because you care what we think and desire a reaction.

    Deep down in the places you don't talk about at tailgates, you want Texas fans to listen to you. You need that validation. You use words like POS, Fuck you, and worst. We use these words to put you in your place. You use them as envious deflection when you're taking another loss. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very exposure that Texas provides and then questions the manner in which they provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went back to your second tier. Otherwise, I suggest you recognize your place in the hierarchy. Either way, we don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to. You will return to your dustbowl town and try to remember as the years pass when anyone outside the state knew you existed.

    The B1G learned their lesson with Rutgers. They'll let the SEC keep Lone Star Fredo,

    There was no lesson with Rutgers. B1G got exactly what they wanted with Rutgers and Maryland - east coast access. And not a single disruption to the old guard order by adding non-threatening programs.

    Now that I think about it, aggy does offer a similar deal. Access to Texas and no threat to win anything. Of course, you can get that with a handful of other Texas schools and without the aggy baggage.

    Hopefully Billy Donovan is available in the next year or 2. He is a college basketball coaching wizard.

    Billy Donovan hasn't been in college basketball in a decade and only Izzo and Calipari make more than he does currently. He will not be the savior. 

  4. Ozzy, Frampton, Jane's, Tribe, Kool.

    Lenny and Oasis are too derivative.

    Of the ladies, only Mariah should be considered a HOF contender based on her abilities and sales. The rest had some good stuff, but don't have the all-time career necessary. Cher is a HOF icon, but was any of her music more than generic pop/dance?

    Eric B. and Rakim have a HOF banger in Paid in Full, but there are so many more deserving early hip-hop artists.

    DMB and Foreigner is music for people that don't really like music.

    So long as we're placing cameras in parklands surrounding bodies of water, can we also include some high-resolution ones with zooming capability that citizens can remotely control to focus on the grassy slope on the east side of Barton Springs pool?  

    You have my vote.  It's really all about keeping the community safe.

    The Fox News model. 
     

    Yes it’s almost exclusively old, but other than sports, CBS and Fox News are the only channels viewers watch live. Surely that some value for advertisers. 

    The average CBS/Fox News watcher is not a desired demographic for advertisers. Except for gold and reverse mortgages vendors.

  7. I think a large part of the RDJ draw, particularly for those over the age of 35, is that he was a drug addled loser who destroyed an easy nepo career in Hollywood, who then scratched and crawled his way back to become the A+ of the A list. In another world, Iron Man is a decent little flick and seen as nothing more than a nice redemption story for RDJ. In this world, it became the launching point of a second career, this time without the self-destruction. He's a comeback kid who went from the gifted penthouse to the deserving sewer and made it back to an earned penthouse. America has always fallen for that story.

    In cinema terms, he followed Iron Man with Tropic Thunder in the same year and the zeitgeist became his.
