    2021 NCAA Baseball

    Thank for the thought, I'm improving but as with a stroke it's very slow progress. As to the issue at hand. The falloff with baseball preceded Bragga, and it was predictable. He wasn't a fit to the culture. The donor base wanted a Rice guy and those that fit the criteria either weren't available ( Piece) or lacked enough experience ( Hallmark) or the PC police would object ( Berkman) . Add Childress in the mix because he's proven and available now might explain the suddenness of the move. Or it could be an assistant that they had their eye on and the AD feared the window was closing. They need to get this right, the frmr players seem to rallying to Hallmark/Berkman. Maybe Petite joins as pitching Coach

  4. There are no words, prayers for family, friends and the team. This stuff never makes sense
  5. I don't like the way he treats women. Although I sadly think his mother reminds me a great deal of mine. And his father my father.
  6. Happy for my Bear friends, not the hairy gay ones. Well Im not excluding them
  7. I have 2 both involve food. Played in a softball league in Harris County for years and you know if you've ever done something like that you get to know people well but only play softball against them every week. So you don't know much about them. Well there was this guy we all called Mike a real friendly sort very blue collar kind of rough around the edges but extremely friendly in we had heard he had died in a car accident and me and a couple of guys really wanted to pay our respects and found out when and where the funeral was gonna be in Humble. Show up at the Funeral Home day at the funeral tell one of the attendants with Eastman that we are there for Mikes funeral and they directed us to one of the rooms and we walk in CLOSED CASKET . The crowd is significantly older than what we expected but we're trying to show all respect so don't want to interrupt family so we just don't talk to anyone but they have do have appetizers laid out for those in attendance. So we gnosh, so there we are standind around eating finger food just gonna waiting for the proper moment or for someone we recognize .Then a woman a little older comes up to us starts talking to us and asking us how we know her father Mike. We tell her we know him from softball we're really sorry to hear about the news and he was a good guy she asks who is this a few years ago like 10 years ago were you all very young at the time ? and were like no it was just a few weeks ago. She tells us I think you're at the wrong funeral my father Mike was in his mid 80s and passed away at all old folks home and I don't believe he ever played softball. So we apologize for the interruption she says no no problem she helps us find an attendant and it turns out our Mike was actually named Miguel all of us white privileged males were just calling him Mike because that was his white nickname. We are told there's a service is at the other end of the home. We apologize again in 2 of us head out the door to go to the right place. the other fool turns back around to get another plate of food for the trip. When we get to the right room and see people we know they ask where we got the food of course several of them in it up making a trip down to the other end of the Funeral Home to pay their respects to Old White Mike.

  9. McMurtry's freshman roommate, Douglas Milburn, We called Rasputin ' til we knew his name
  10. Yeah ,Rice mathematics has taken many a lesser mind but none greater that McMurtrys . I know a few older Alum that recall drinking at Kays with him when he was teaching. The old Texas shaped table there had all the Mercury astronauts names scrawled into it .When I would drink there i was easy to imagine them or a drunk Dave Ward at the bar. Well didn't have the imagine Dave
  11. He just wrote " Texas women" so well. And not just Jacy although who of us haven't known a Jacy. But others in countless books. That can shoot a gun, skinny dippin' getting drunk, and washing up to wear an evening gown all in the same day kinda gals that are as Texas as BBQ and two-steppin

  14. unless the contract has a morals clause and allows the Texans to void, and get rid of a player that refuses to play for them thus saving face. I tell you the front office IS that sick.
  15. They need to do a bowfinger sequel with Kit desperately trying to get back in the game using his brother Jeff Jefferson who is now an international star in Daisy is leading the me too movement bowfinger wants to make a strong woman movie to get kit back in the game. for his misdeeds Mind Fuck Church attempts to use the movies to cover its members philandering ways ..getting the old crew on the same team Can totally have fun with Hollywood hypocrisy keep the thing that made Bowfinger great can end when Bowfinger manages to film his film instead of Around mind fucks bloated Bullshit with separate filming, hidden cams catching studio heads in the act of wierd sex / political hypocricy ... at the premiere slips his movie in and the Directors cut is a hit

    Rick went to New England Music Conservancy with my ex' wife's oldest brother its not like i know him They and a friend played at our Cape Cod reception summer after the wedding. When I first saw his videos I wondered why he looked so familiar, wish I had paid more attention at the time, I would have asked him questions now the ex's family hates me and I hate to bring it up and ask him a question
  17. Well, I woke up Sunday morningWith no way to hold my head that didn't hurtAnd the beer I had for breakfast wasn't badSo I had one more for dessert
  18. how long from initial request? I'm at 9 months since i filed , initially declined but everybody says the first one in always declined post stroke... btw FINALLY got into therapy 2 week ago
  19. maybe he just sucked some peen
  20. DeShaun for the right to the name Oilers and colors is the only way Cal can redeem himself
  21. I worked closely with the Harris County Houston Sports Authority and was privy to enough interactions with the McNairs. They are of the prosperity gospel mindset, they think they are rich because they are more moral than others. And therefore the better you are morally the more successful you will be. Hence why Cal loves Easterby , " immorality" is why the rid themselves from Nuke, its why theyve made several personnel decisions not just football.. its reached a breaking point and many inside the organization current and former just want to blow the whole thing up people have been fired for affairs, being gay even having a gay family members... when they left they were given a generous pay out because the Texans have no problem spending$$. Much more to come
  22. Yeah , I dunno about the Rest in Peace part how about , see you in hell
  23. Remember when we though Bud was a bad owner? I miss Bud, print the t -shirts
  24. I can't imagine the pain, I am so sorry
