    I realize to a degree you are poking at aggy, but sadly that is in fact a reality

    aggy at one time was doing some OK things for TAMU-K with the Kleberg Institute, but then they started to pull some of that back....they have taken things from them with horticulture, and they have screwed them in engineering too.....they straight fucked them on the Erma Lerma Derma Herma Rangel Pharmacy School

    they ignored WTAMU until Tech went for a vet school and then suddenly they tried to pour money up there for a "collaboration"

    they do jack shit for Commerce and Laredo......now that SA is open and they got a campus for it they have done jack shit for it.....TAMU-CT was just a grab for "area" and was never needed

    PVAMU just plods along and as long as they do better than the shit show that TSU is well then PVAMU is "doing just fine"

    Texarkana is a fucking after thought......they are fucking off masses of money in another "area grab" for Fort Worth and whatever "system center" bullshit they put there

    Tarleton was an after thought too, but for some reason they are getting some resources......Corpus is the only one that really gets major attention it seems and I believe that is because it would be easy for the politicians there to look and say "Kingsville aggy" and "this area nothing UT"......well except the UT Marine Sciences Institute that is right there in the area and the Harte endowment is a lot of money they do not want to lose access to....it would be easy for them to fuck that off, but the citizens of Corpus have called them out before and with Galveston already there as a marine facility for aggy and with the UT Marine Sciences right there by Corpus and Kingsville as an aggy system campus.....well fuck around too much and it could be UT-CC

    really where aggy fucked up badly there was not-so-sharp failing with a merger of Kingville and CC  which would have made a really nice university with a lot of quality and complementary programs.....it really would have been a better merger than UT-B and UT-Pan Am when it came to fit and future possibilities........but not-so-sharp is a fucking idiot and did not sell it and of course did not offer shit to incentivize it and the Kingsville residents saw it as a way they were definitely going to get fucked like they always do and the Corpus residents saw it as a way they would start getting fucked like Kingsville

    the problem is not-so-sharp is not a system chancellor he is a fucking cock gobbling college station idiot that looks over the shoulder of presidents of college station and fucks around and stifles them and runs them off....and all the other system schools get "promotions from within the system" which means loyal yo college station people that even if they are good people they just take the "title" the money, and ride the job into retirement and repeat 

    the second shittiest run system is UH for some of the same reasons on a smaller scale.....including the dual "chancellor/president" position

    the third shittiest is north Texas state that has been hijacked by city of dallas fuck heads that steal state higher ed dollars for "spend in our area hey look some janitor jobs in dallas proper" bullshit.....and they fuck the Denton campus over in the process and they leave TCOM alone, but they also do not do jack shit for TCOM......the UT System would be well served to make a move on TCOM and take it away and merge it in with UTA and also offer a MD degree in addition to the DO degree and ramp up the research and them merge UTSW in with UTD

    I believe sooner than later the UT System will be lobbying The State of Texas to amend the funding formula for medical schools so that there is not a funding penalty for a medical school being under the administration of a 4 year university

    You used a lot of words to say fucking aggy sucks...

    Speaking of aggy Galveston, here's a throwback from Mardi Gras 2014. It never gets old. I will always share this because it's too damn funny and is a perfect representation of aggy.

    The fake Navy showed up late for the parade and still marched after it was over. Oh aggy, never stop being you! 

    713efbe6c195937de9b2d38cb08eab6b--mardi-

    Lol, I had totally forgotten about that. 

  3. Not trivial but I just read an article about about some hikers showing the damage caused by turons at Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. One of the things mentioned was how many idiots were carving their names, initials or school names in the trunks of trees. 

    I would bet that a particular school in Brazos County is one of the offenders.

    former UT President Robert M. Berdahl talks about flagships here ^^^

    and Texas State is not actually a flagship for several reasons.....the main reason being that the Texas State University System is what is known as a "weak system" they do not have a flagship and all of the universities in the system lobby the legislature on their own for their funding needs instead of the system doing it for them....all of the other systems in Texas are "strong systems" with a flagship university and the system lobbies the legislature on behalf of the universities for funding needs

    in addition Texas State is not the oldest university in the system and until recently they offered very few doctoral degree programs and Lamar and Sam Houston offered more of those programs and graduated more doctoral degree holders.....Texas State is by far the largest in the system though, but that is probably the least relevant criteria......in all the other "strong systems" in Texas is is pretty clear what one is the flagship without a doubt and generally that one meets all of the criteria of being the largest, the clear research university, the oldest, and the one offering most if not all of the doctoral and professional degrees

    I think that TWU is back to calling themselves a "system" again they did for a number of years and then they didn't for a number of years....and I think they do again now....which is pretty dumb considering that I am 99% sure that all of their degrees are accredited under the Denton campus and nothing in Houston or dallas has it's own accreditation.....I think it depends on the ego of who is in charge there and possibly on "funding mechanisms" and getting money for "system operations" that cover admin cost that would not be covered as just a single university 

    in New York in the past Buffalo, Binghamton, and Albany were "cornerstone" universities in addition to Stony Brook, but in 2022 their governor shitted on Binghamton and Albany and stated that Stony Brook and Buffalo would be called flagships and all the others would "have their strengths leaned into" (which I think most people see as get fucked) 

    that area of the country has always been a bit weird about public education though because they have so many strong private schools that are so much older than many of their public schools that they have let their public schools kind of plod along and be looked at as decent "back up schools" or "well Rutgers it is" (or UMass, UConn, SUNY-(whichever) etc.)

    I found RD's sock, lol

    I couldn't remember the GD Netflix password the other night despite the fact that,

    • I've entered it at least 400 times over the past few years.
    • It's my youngest son's birthday.
    • It's only 4 digits long.

    You do mean manual shift, right? If so, it’s been 40+ years for me.

    I think he means a shifter on the steering column. The old “three on the tree.”

    One hip bothers me a lot - especially when I'm sleeping on my left side (which is most of the time that I'm asleep, so I'm also sleeping like crap). I think I sat too much over the last two years. I damn sure haven't exercised. 

    Ringing in the ears is not even a ring, just a constant high pitched sound that I thought was me drinking too much (I was, but that isn't it). 

    I need to go for an annual and do all the 45+ shit that I haven't done yet at soon to be 53.

    I'm probably dead at the moment. 

     

    Thought we might be twins after reading this. I could have posted that verbatim and it would be 100% accurate...then I remembered twins don't have a 13 year age differential.

    If my wife goes before me, I am discreetly spreading her ashes in the aisles of a Wal-Mart store.  I don’t think either she or her mom have ever driven past our local goddamn Wal-Mart without needing to stop and get something there. They fucking love that place. 

    If mine goes before me I'll have her cremated. Then I'll dump her ashes in the toilet and take a huge chili shit on them before flushing.

    Every single person that lives in the general New Orleans area…why can you not just fucking drive like normal people???? And I live in the goddamn Houston area. 

    Try driving in Mexico, it will make NO seem like heaven.

    NFL said they have the best turf crew on for the field this time.  Which would be hilarious if it was the fake stuff.  I’m just assuming real…

    I had read somewhere it's real. Isn't tat the stadium that is on a "tray" and they roll it in and out? Don't remember where I read the article, only that there's tons of complaints already about the playing surface.

    For the first time in a long time, I don't give a shit about who wins the SB.

    Me neither, but it’s still fun to watch. It’s a long time until fall. 

    I'm pulling KC simply because Mahomes played his high school ball just up the road for me and Omenihu.
