  1. "We're sacking ourselves". Best thread title ever.
  2. Per the DMN, there is a $150 million renovation of the Cotton Bowl to take place over the next 2 years, with construction paused during the 2024 Fair. Replacing the ramps inside the stadium with some other mechanisms for getting spectators to the upper sections. This is supposed to result in increased areas of the concourse and more concession and bathroom areas. Completion date is supposed to be before the '25 game, but '24 may be an absolute shitshow.
  3. Maybe I have an over-simplistic worldview, but it seems to me that the public risk created by illegal business practices -- not just the provable harm actually caused -- is a strong factor in determining the appropriate remedy. Business laws and regulations exist for the purpose of protecting consumers from unethical practices and to minimize potential damage to the public generally (i.e. adverse economic impacts). We have all seen what can happen, for instance, when there is not proper oversight and enforcement of regulations in the banking industry. Persistent, repeated failure to stay within the boundaries should result in severe sanctions. If a lawyer misuses client trust funds, the lawyer is subject to discipline, regardless of whether the funds were later replaced. If the lawyer does it repeatedly, disbarment is appropriate. The privilege of having a law license has been forfeited. Even though no actual harm may have occurred, the lawyer's actions, if unchecked, have created a substantial risk of harm to the client, and to the public in general if others follow suit.
  4. This sounds like an idea that will help with recruiting: https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3409417

    3rd and 9

    Hate to disagree, but the injury was not a fake. Watch the play again. After the collision with Worthy Bowman is clearly dazed. He got up but went back down. It had the same effect but he was legit out of it for a few seconds. That's not the guy OU wanted to leave the field.

    3rd and 9

    On the last drive the play calling was fine. We easily moved down the field. It all changed on the sack. Once it got to 3rd and 9 there is a difficult choice on how aggressive to be. There is a big difference between a 50+ yard FG and one from 45 or so. Main goal is to get in FG range to take the lead. And by running the ball we made OU use their last time out. It was the more conservative call, but not indefensible.
  7. On our last drive, after Worthy's catch for a first down, Bowman from OU was hurt and went down. The clock was at 2:35. No timeout was called, but the clock stopped for the injury. Shouldn't the game clock have restarted as soon as the ref marked the ball ready for play? The play clock started but the game clock did not.
  8. OU had called timeout. Play clock didn't affect the game clock.
  9. "Miss management" should be a recognized area of study at aggy.
  10. I took the bar exam with a bluebook and no. 2 pencil.
  11. And his lawyer stands beside him as he slanders the presiding judge. Good strategy for seeking favor with the Court. And presumably the DC Judge will consider this in ruling on a gag order.
  12. "Miles and Miles of Texas" should have a place somewhere.
  13. Agree that the volume was down from the last game. Constant music was still annoying but tolerable. And props to the DJ for Steely Dan's "You go back, Jack, and do it again" when Stone had to re-kick because the ball fell off the tee.
  14. I'll take a Happy Feller and a Russell Erxleben.
  15. Hah. Exactly my first thought. A Lindsey Graham starter kit.
  16. Yeah. I was at Toolbox Field in 2011 , very top row of the upper deck. When Tucker's kick sailed through the uprights I was challenged to a fight by an angry aggy fan. But I politely declined because I hadn't trained for that altitude.
  17. Add to no. 4: the cheerleaders and the crowd can manage it on their own.
  18. Pretty sure they will immediately implement the Ivermectin protocol and he should be ready to go for the Bama game.
  19. He based his $1.8 billion on the projected market value of the classified documents stored at MAL.
  20. Have them send us a post card from State College PA.
  21. I was also at the Bama game. Trust me, the amount of electronic bufoonery and the volume at DKR far exceeds what we witnessed at Bama.
