    OK. I spent a half hour on the phone with my liberal, Democrat, feminist, college professor sister. (No pics.) She has followed the Urban Meyer saga closely. And she knows Title IX, as she is subject to it as well.

    Shocking to me, she says Urban Meyer should not have been fired and she's happy with the outcome. No objective person sets the #metoo bar as high as my liberal, Democrat, feminist, college professor sister, if she's satisfied, maybe I can be as well.

    A point she makes (and I won't argue it) is Title IX is built to protect victims, not punish offenders, and the UM/ZS saga is in a HUGE gray area. If CS were a university employee as well, this woulda gone much differently. You can bet that gray are will get fixed soon.

    I am a guest on this board and I won't poop on it with any kind of an opinion of my own. Rather I will continue to do what I have tried to do; convey objective facts as best I can, and then keep my mouth shut.

    Carry on. God Bless Surly Horns.

    So your sister is a liberal and a dumbass...not surprised.

  2. I feel that our defense is going to come out hyped against Maryland.  Nothing really against Malik and the early draft guys, but I like seeing guys like Roach and Hager leading the defense.  Charles O is also having a monster offseason from the looks of it and should be terror on the edge.  GJ is going to be key to the defense.  Honestly not too worried about the secondary, and I'm excited to see Sterns back there with Brandon Jones...athletic as fuck.

     

    I think the offense needs to get the run game going against Maryland.  It will lead to opening up the middle for LJH and the deep routes for Johnson.

     

    I'm a lot more excited for this season than I've been in a while, but I am also cautiously optimistic based on past results.  This team just needs to not crumble when one thing goes wrong and we'll be fine.

    No, I get that. He's in hot water no doubt and the university is 100% within its rights to let him go.

    But Zach Smith is not a confirmed abuser. His ex-wife is making that allegation but she has provided very little evidence of it.
    I mean, there has to be a higher bar than 'his ex-wife said so' before someone is labeled an abuser.

    When I got divorced my ex accused me of everything in the book. Luckily I was smart enough to avoid situations where I could be accused of assault or abuse, but the rest of this is very familiar.

    That's my own bias, of course, but my point is that right now Zach Smith's guilt has not been determined.

    Maybe sit the next few rounds out Disco

    I don't think we deserve it right now, but it's always good for generating a couple of texaggy  bitch threads.  I'm sure the fact that they have one of 4 3 active coaches with a natty was mentioned once or twice and should have been ranked was mentioned once or twice in them too.

    Definitely this

    It's absurd that we're ranked, but I'll take it. I've said all along I think we win 9+, even with the shit show of an offensive staff. That considered, it's legit to not have us ranked. It's been a weird thing in reading all of the preseason magazines as well. They don't really rank Texas at all in their unit rankings, and very few players get any pub in the same magazines, and then they'll have us ranked around #20 overall in their preseason rankings. It's weird. I think they're underrating the returning talent, but whatever.

    Also agree with everything here.

    Is this what Mourinho will be saying to United fans after he sells off all the young attacking talent and quits because he’s pissed off the entire locker room?

    Not sure yet.  Only young attacker that I've seen that is rumored to leave is Anthony Martial.  I'm just having fun with it right now because I honestly don't know what to expect this upcoming season.  Hoping for Alexis to find his groove that's for sure.

    Tyranny towards non-citizens, with regard to entry into our country?

     

    It must be heart-wrenching shouldering all of that guilt.  Lolz. 

     

    It’s ok to disagree with the decision, but asking for kindler gentler treatement of trespassers doesn’t move the needle on the compassion scale, bro.

    Lol tech

    Kendrick Lamar concert at starplex tonight. Pretty pumped

    Man I have tickets for tonight’s show in Austin but have to sell them because I have court this afternoon and wouldn’t be sure if I make it out in time for the 3 hr drive from Laredo.  Bummed is an understatement.

    I hope SZA shows up for the Texas shows

    I’m pretty sure she’s on the bill and I was looking forward to seeing her 2nd behind Kendrick. 

     

    Ive got them on sale at Ticketmaster but if anybody from here wants I’ll drop the price.
