  1. I was surprised that Hoosiers was pretty much fictionalized on most major story lines. https://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/hoosiers.php#:~:text=Not entirely.,team in 1954%2C not six.
  2. So, when my daughter was taken in 2016, I had UTSouthwestern take as many blood, organ and tissue samples as they could ... cremation then. In the past 6 plus years, some of her ashes have gone to family members and dear friends. As of right now, my daughter is off the coast of Tahiti, Venice, Washington D.C., off the coastline in Southern California, Colorado, Utah, Maui, off the coast of Cabo ... and since she went to 4 Texas - ou games with me ... scattered in the end zone of the Cotton Bowl (2 years ago). More to follow.
  3. Fake poll since "None of the Above" is not an option.
  4. and then... there is our SEC hype video. Just a wee bit of a difference.
  5. Ok... So Sunday, August 13 at 11:00 a.m. our time, I am on a panel discussion with amongst others, Dr. Urszula Kelley, director of the eating disorder program at Children's Hospital in Plano and Dr. Brooks Brodrick who has both an M.D. and PhD and works at UT Southwestern. The topic is Going back to School, Mental health and eating disorders faced by our kids. It is at Kendra Scott in West Village. For those who can't attend but who are interested, you can use this zoom link. Should be interesting.

  6. bwahahahahahaha!!!! So now your new neighbor is wondering ... "Sooooooo, are gatormarc and gatormarcette swingers? And if so, are they interested?" Oh my! I guess however, if they ARE wondering this doesn't than necessarily imply that they too are swingers?! Oh, the SEC is gonna be so much fun!
  7. Uh.... soooooooooo ... how did YOU know about this? https://www.cruisemummy.co.uk/pineapple-on-a-cruise-ship-door-what-do-pineapples-mean-on-a-cruise/#:~:text=Pineapples are used as a,to join a swinger party.
  8. That is truly a gift. It brings joy to my heart that you have this bond with your 15 year old!
  9. Tough day today. It is my daughter's 30th birthday. Writing for me is a very good outlet for some of the emotions. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2023/08/10/birthday-thoughts/
  10. Ghost, I will respond later on. Have been up to my eyeballs today. My statement was based on the reading of the Order, any my interpretation of what SW Airlines was ordered to do and what SW Airlines actually did. It has nothing to do with the merits (or the lack thereof) of the underlying case. And, as I understand it, those actions were dictated by the three in-house counsel.
  11. Furk, I can't even spell relijus traneing institute or something. I'm probably more a Kabbalist than anything else. It is just so fascinating to see what gets my fellow Horns (Class of '81 for me) riled up. I don't hate the cloak room at all. It is great entertainment as long as you do not take anything seriously.
  12. So, if the judge had appointed some other entity, then all would be both hunky and dory? And then we could focus on the reprehensible conduct perpetrated by Southwest Airline's in house mouthpieces?
  13. I always feel like I need to take a shower after even looking in the Cloak Room especially since both major political parties long ago diverged from my beliefs. Nonetheless ... First, court orders, especially on sanctions are always crafted by the Court. Second, on page 13 - 14, the following language appears: "Carter seeks four sanctions—attorney fees, a flat fine, a revised notice, and religious-liberty training. The Court considers each in turn." So, without looking at the Motion for Sanctions, it appears as if the plaintiff did seek that type of sanction. Third, I don't know much about ADF and don't particularly care. But, the following language indicates why this judge chose ADF: "For instance, ADF recently agreed to “conduct a First Amendment training session” for three professors who allegedly discriminated against a student for posting “materials to her social media accounts” and sending “messages to fellow students” containing, among other things, religious views.78 And, in that case, the defendants allegedly cited their school policies as a reason to curtail religious speech.79 Because this case also involves an entity’s citation to its policies in an apparent attempt to end-run legal protections against religious discrimination based on online activities, ADF is particularly well-suited to train Southwest’s employees who are most responsible for the communications at issue here." Magistrate Judge Starr also cited ADF as follows: "See, e.g., Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colo. Civil Rights Comm’n, 138 S. Ct. 1719, 1722 (2018) (recognizing that ADF was counsel on a successful Supreme Court appeal)." The 29 page Order entered by the Court outlines some egregious conduct by Southwest Airlines and its inside counsel. Now, I know this is the "Cloak Room" where all reason, logic, professionalism and mutual respect are not welcome. As such, proceed with the usual ... "YOU'RE STUPID! NO, YOU'RE STUPID! NUH UH! HUH UH! WELL FUCK YOU! WELL FUCK YOU TOO!
  14. So, a googles search showed the following as visitor sections:
  15. You have echoed my point. From the date Arkansas left the SWC, its rivalry with Texas was dead. When aggy left the Big 12, its perceived rivalry with Texas was dead. And yes, financially, CFB has exploded, thus proving the point that rivalries are NOT needed for the proliferation of the money grab in college football. It was Skippy McSkip who previously attempted to connect rivalries and geography with the golden goose. My reply indicated his statement was fallacious. College football is about Mr. Green. Dammit.. pay attention.
  16. Too late. Texas - aggy ... dead Texas - Arkansas ... dead Kansas - Missouri ... dead Oklahoma - Nebraska ... dead Oklahoma - Okie Lite ... Soon to be dead Colorado - Nebraska ... dead Nebraska - Relevance ... dead The golden goose is already on the platter having been plucked, brined, stuffed with celery, onion, rosemary, oranges, butter/sage rubbed on the breast and under the skin, roasted at 350 degrees and now being served up. The networks/streaming services will make all of the important calls from this point forward. Whatever is in their best, financial interests will be implemented. Colleges, universities, fans, athletics ... are mere sacrificial lambs being placed on the altar of profiteering.
  17. Soooooooo.... you take Wisconsin, whose border is touched by not just one, but TWO of the Great Lakes ... and you put them in the Great Plains Division? Then you take Rutgers, which actually borders the Atlantic Ocean ... and you put them in the Great Lakes Division? Then, you take Penn State, which borders one of the Great Lakes ... and you put them in the Atlantic Division? Then, you take Minnesota, which borders both Canada and one of the Great Lakes ... and you put them in the Great Plains Division? Then, you take Notre Dame, which is in Indiana, which is 2 time zones, and which at closest, is 6 states away from the Pacific Ocean, and put them in the Pacific Ocean? Uh..... alrighty then!
  18. Does sunshine ever miss you?
  19. Eventually, one or more universities are going to say, "we could lose up to $100 million or more from these Grant of Rights documents. OR ... we can approach a Billy BadAss law firm and say, "Here you go boys. Here's a $5 million flat fee. Go git 'em." And GORs are looked at through the lens of sovereign immunity, lack of consideration, the conferences themselves are in essence, non-entities since revenue is passed on to the schools, the GOR is not a bilateral contract and/or is an improper assignment. If and when that happens, in terms of college football, that could do away with 'formal conferences' completely and the universities in essence form a Board of Directors negotiating separately with television, steaming and whatever the next iteration is providers.
  20. I could be in for 2.
  21. You are my new hero! What mammaries... no wait... Memories!
  22. Man oh man... embrace those experiences! Each and every trip. Each and every moment. That is an incredibly special gift you two are sharing. Years from now, when your grandkids look up at you and ask, "what was great grandpa like?" the richness of life stories you will be able to tell will be special. Undoubtedly, your grandkids will at first be like, "Whatever...." But even though their ears may not be listening, their hearts will be. And their souls. Pass it forward. And as for being at the airport 4 hours ahead of time... that is what TSA Pre and Clear is for. That is what the Admiral's Club is for. And the Centurion Club. Enjoy!
  23. Cursive has become our (I'm an almost OLD, but since I act incredibly immature most of the time, that helps keep me young... well, that and porn). Anyhoo.... cursive had begun to become our secret code. Younglings couldn't decipher it. It was greatness. But now? Cursive is coming back. Why? Because some teachers are requiring their students to take tests in class, using pen and paper. Cell phones are in cubbies.
  24. Congrats to Pink Floyd. This past March was the 50th year anniversary of the release of that album. 1973 also saw the release of the following: The Exorcist The Sting Last Tango in Paris The Devil in Miss Jones The First mobile phone call was made Roe v. Wade decision And, we defeated aggy 42 - 13. Two sidenotes about that game ... Raymond Clayborn was Texas' first four year letterman. He made the NFL Pro Bowl 3x and was a 5X All-Pro cornerback for the Patriots. But, in the aggy game, he ran the ball 7 times, gained 28 yard but had 3 touchdowns. The other sidenote ... a little used player, a senior, carried the ball 2 times for 6 yards. His name? Tom Landry, Jr. Now back to our regularly scheduled, current day, aggy buffoonery.
