    It's got bathrooms with chandeliers! That place is a bargain at $1.8 billion!

    He based his $1.8 billion on the projected market value of the classified documents stored at MAL.

    Baylor and aggy are the only two places my kids are not allowed to go to. Both institutions have shown they don't give a single fuck about student safety 

    Have them send us a post card from State College PA.

    I have not been to a Texas home game in several years, but I've been to quite a few away games, including the Bama game this year.  The Bama game was tons of fun, but included most of the stuff people are talking about - loud music, light shows, cell phone flashlights (including a wave), etc.  I didn't really notice the band at all until I heard the Texas band playing a lot late in the game as the Bama fans started to filter out.

    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.

    Oh... and y'all need to wake up that 5 star recruits are not looking to go to a game for a "quality college football experience".  They are losing their minds over orange lights, drones and loud music.  They see that and want to come to UT (obviously in conjunction with the play on the field).  The old "rah rah sis boom bah" experience is not going to move the needle on some elite level DT.

    The explain how Bama continues to get 5 stars by the bus load. The game experience there is nothing like you described.

    I've given up on the pregame band/team entrance stuff. It gets a little weirder/worse every year. 

    Did anyone notice the premature ignition of one of the spark-shooting T-E-X-A-S flags before the team ran out?  It erupted while laying on the ground and shot its entire load in the middle of the cheerleaders and band.

    Generally, yeah, that's how music works... up until a certain point - where it's impossible to shout over it - and then all conversations stop.  

    You seem to think everyone is arguing for peace and quiet.  We're not.  I'm in favor of a noisy home-field advantage, and the biggest part of home-field advantage is fan engagement.  My issue (probably everyone's issue) with the Jumbotron is that it discourages fan engagement by either shouting down the fans and/or turning them into silent, passive TV-watchers.  

    FOR EXAMPLE:  Texas is on defense, and a big 3rd-down is coming up.  Maybe it's a TV timeout.  Jumbotron plays some insanely loud shit.  Trust me on this:  if you were in my section, you absolutely cannot talk over it.  Conversations stop.  All eyes turn and look at the Jumbotron.   Wyoming breaks the huddle and goes to the line.  Jumbotron abruptly stops, and the stadium is SILENT, and people aren't even aware, "Hey, this is a big play."  There's WAY less fan noise/energy/engagement than there would have been without the 60-year old men behind the curtain giving 100,000 fans Havana Syndrome.  

    This happens over and over all game long.  

     

    This is 100% accurate. It was impossible to talk over the volume of the Jumbotron. When the sound stopped, there was silence in the stadium because no one was even thinking about yelling or cheering.

    I just saw Burton address this on the post game. What the hell was going on with Wyoming getting the ball at the 8 when their qb ran out of bounds at the 12? They stopped the game for awhile but still didn’t move the ball back. The protection of incompetent officials has to be addressed. Someone should at least have to answer for something that egregious.

    Sark challenged the spot. Refs took about 10 minutes to decide that a spot can't be challenged. No idea why replay official didn't get involved.

    Other than the above brain fart, I have not thought about this at all, and I’m kind of surprised by the question from the 11th circuit

    Here is the excerpt from the Order.  They are pointing out that a separate provision expressly includes the person's status at the time the action accrued.

    In certain circumstances, 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1) permits “any officer (or any person acting under that officer) of the United States or of any agency thereof, in an official or individual capacity,” to remove a civil action or criminal prosecution from state court to federal court. Does that statute permit former federal officers to remove state actions to federal court or does it permit only current federal officers to remove? Compare 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1), with 28 U.S.C. § 1442(b) (permitting removal of “[a] personal action commenced in any State court by an alien against any citizen of a State who is, or at the time the alleged action accrued was, a civil officer of the United States and is a nonresident of such State . . .”).

    Yep. Despite Bama's 34-24 beat-down vs Texas at HOME, Chuck feels Bama should be ranked #7 and Texas #10 this week? Da fuq?

    Man, how I've missed the days when we complained about being disrespected because someone didn't vote us higher than no. 7.  Surly is back.

    Enough time has passed that the Marcell Dareus thing is just a good, solid troll job.  Gotta just laugh and appreciate that one. 

     

    Wasn't Darius the one who intercepted the shovel pass just before halftime and returned it for a TD? That was the biggest play of the game.
