  1. I'm a moderate drinker, but I've had my moments of excess. In my early 20's there were a couple of occasions where people described events that had happened the night before that I had absolutely no recollection of, including behavior completely out of character for me. (Thankfully, none involved sexual assault.) I would not have believed the accounts except for the fact they came from people I trusted and with no motive to fabricate. It is entirely possible that Kavanaugh simply has no recall of this event -- especially since he was not confronted about it at the time -- and does not think he is capable of sexual assault. But the accuser is much more likely to have specific recall of such a traumatic event, especially if she had not had much to drink. The fact that she brought this up in therapy years ago is proof she is not making something up now. She knew when she came forward what a hell her life would like be for years to come. The bottom line is that they both might be telling the "truth" as they perceive it. But I believe her. It happened. Kavanaugh may truly not remember it. Or he may remember it differently (it was just horseplay; I stopped when she said "no"; she was coming on to me; whatever). Or he may remember it as it actually happened. But he is now in too deep for anything other than total denial of anything happening at all.
  2. Then why not use envelopes printed "Cruz Campaign Contribution Request" rather than "Official Travis County Summons"?
  3. I'm hoping that there is some sort of Bradley Effect at work. It has been argued that the "hidden Trump supporters" -- those who intended to vote for Trump but would not say so publicly -- skewed the polls in 2016. http://ideas.repec.org/a/bpj/statpp/v8y2017i1p41-63n5.html Maybe the opposite is going on here: people intending to vote for Beto but unwilling to say that out loud and open themselves up to ridicule from their Republican friends and neighbors.

  5. “new narrative” that Trump is crazy because there’s no evidence of Russia collusion. Why not both?
  6. I like cheeseburgers.
  7. McRaven for President? I'm good with that. Imagine Trump and McRaven in a debate. "Mr. President, with all due respect, while you were scheming to muzzle porn stars and other assorted hoes, I was busy ferreting out Osama Bin Laden." https://www.businessinsider.com/seal-william-mcraven-who-slammed-trump-eyed-for-spot-on-2020-ticket-2018-8
  8. I dunno. The thought of these two on stage together, where the contrast is so stark, makes me think about the 1960 Kennedy/Nixon debates. Cruz would look like an even bigger sniveling, snot-spewing, fetid, odious wretch of a human being replica than he actually is.
  9. Yep. They are ruing the fact they didn't handle this yesterday, with an announcement and presser at, say 4:00 CDT.
  10. Maybe one of the Federal Savings Bank loan fraud counts ? From reports, the CEO seemed hell bent on giving Manafort anything he wanted regardless of his ability to repay. After all, the opportunity to become the Ambassador to England doesn't roll around every day.
  11. One lawyer with the same last name at a Dallas firm has a bio that shows him as a UT grad 1983, which would be about right for a college-age son. The bio also shows him as being a Texas Cowboy. Don't want to post the name in case it's the wrong guy. The video will tell all. If it's as being described, he should be a goner.
  12. Visitor's list? Only one visitor? Now I am sad.
  13. 1. The fourth down measurement, mentioned by other posters. The raucous yells from USC fans when they set the marker down short of the ball, followed by the even louder cheers from the Texas fans when they actually stretched out the chain. Fastest momentum swing ever. 2. Right after the final play, when pandemonium was breaking loose, the main scoreboard briefly flashed "CONGRATULATIONS USC - NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!"
  14. "When you ain't got nothin' you got nothin' to lose." Bob Dylan, Recipient of Nobel Prize for Literature
  15. Or maybe played Candi Land.
  16. Just for grins, I looked up all aggy conference records in the big three sports since their 100 year decision (2012/13 - 2017/18), and compared with their Big 12 records for the corresponding period (2006/7 - 2011/12). This is only regular season conference records and does not include conference tournaments or other post-season results. Here are the totals: SEC - football 25-23 (52%), basketball 56-52 (52%), baseball 94-83 (53%), all 3 sports combined 175-158 (53%) Big 12 - football 24-25 (49%), basketball 55-43 (56%), baseball 95-62-1 (60%), all 3 sports combined 174-130-1 (57%) "Next year" will likely bring more of the same.
  17. Maybe so, but it wouldn't hurt.
  18. Actually, they were only better for 4 innings.
  19. Duane Decker, is that you?
  20. And there's this: "Smart money says Bama will be coached by Nick Saban or Dabo Swinney in 2022 and 2023, and there will be players on the field for those games that weren't yet alive the last time Texas was capable of going toe to toe with a Saban or Swinney coached team. " So, some of the players will be under 13 years old?
  21. Almost 7 years later, and still the most remarkable thing in my mind about that play is that Case did not fumble.
  22. No thread for this yet? Pretty big series, no? Looks like tonight's game is on FS SW+ at 6:30.
  23. I heard Rick Neuheisel mention Jimbo's FSU record this morning, and I looked it up. During Jameis Winston's 2 years as starting QB (2013-2014), FSU was 27-1. JW did not play one game in 2014, so with him starting the overall record was 26-1. Jimbo's 8-year career at FSU was 83 wins and 23 losses, a winning percentage of .783. Without Winston, the record was 57 wins and 22 losses, a .722 percentage. That comes out to an average year of 9 wins and 4 losses. Pretty Sumlinesque.
  24. So, is "Uniform Pron" our thread title now and forever?
  25. One delusional aggy claiming to be non-delusional: "A lot of people like to talk about us having unrealistic expectations with Jimbo (when in reality every Aggie I talk to knows it will take a few years to expect conference titles or more). . ." http://texags.com/forums/5/topics/2944552
