    Meanwhile Aggy is losing their shit.

    More so than normal. I've seen accusations that the refs are favoring UT, that Utah doesn't want to be there, that a bunch of Utah players were bannes/suspended/whatever, etc., etc., etc.  Lots of fucking excuses.

    One guy bitched about the f-bombs earlier, then turns around and tells somebody they left their dildo at their mom's house.

    The lack of self-awareness is hilarious.

  2. They are speeding things up, something has them spooked.  These, plus the 100 Marines, are rapid response forces, which means imminent shit going down.

    Roughly 750 soldiers with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division are slated to be wheels up soon headed for Kuwait with an additional 4,000 American troops expected to deploy later this week, a U.S. defense official confirmed to Military Times.

    “At the direction of the Commander in Chief, I have authorized the deployment of an infantry battalion from the Immediate Response Force (IRF) of the 82nd Airborne Division to the U.S. Central Command area of operations in response to recent events in Iraq,” Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said Tuesday evening in a written statement.

    “Approximately 750 soldiers will deploy to the region immediately, and additional forces from the IRF are prepared to deploy over the next several days,” Esper said.

    It's not about the conference, it's about the money.  The other conferences have more of it and are buying Texas players.  Winning might move a few players but the majority of the REALLY good ones are going out of state.  If watching Bama, LSU, and tOSU doesn't make you sick, then you don't have a pulse.  Which conferences are they in and how much do they earn?  They are paying and we aren't, at least enough.

    I give no fucks about what Bama, LSU, and Ohio State do.

    If we'd start winning consistently again, everything takes care of itself.

    Stop defining yourself by what other programs do.  We're not fucking aggy for fucks sake.

    They have 99% conviction rate so they know what they're getting into.

    And if you happen to be facing the death penalty in Japan, they still hang folks.

    Quote

    The execution warrant is signed by the Minister of Justice after internal consultations within the justice ministry. Once the final approval is signed, the execution will take place within five days.

    By statute, the execution cannot take place on a national holiday, Saturday, Sunday, or between 31 December and 2 January.

    The death penalty is carried out by hanging in an execution chamber within the detention centre. When an execution order has been issued, the condemned prisoner is informed on the morning of their execution. The condemned is given a choice of the last meal. The prisoner's family and legal representatives, and also the general public, are informed only afterwards. Since 7 December 2007, the authorities have been releasing the names, natures of crime, and ages of executed prisoners.[12]

    The method of hanging is the long drop, causing a quick death by neck fracture.

    Quote

    The Japanese public has generally supported the death penalty. The government regularly monitors support for the death penalty, the last survey in 2015 showing 80.3% of the public believing that the death penalty is "permissible" and 9.7% that it should be abolished.

    They don't fuck around.

    Not mine.  If the SEC and B1G are poaching 40%+ of the top Texas talent, I'm out because that is where we are headed.  Texas football will have failed.  You better hope that Texas steps up its bagman game.

    If they are poaching top Texas talent from us, it's because UT is running a dumpster fire, not because of belonging to any conference.

    If we win, everything else will take care of itself.

    Stop sounding like aggy wallowing around in their "IT'S NOT US, IT'S OUR CONFERENCE, IT'S THAT FUCKING BIG 12 CONFERENCE THAT'S THE REASON WE KEEP LOSING AND BEING MID-TIER!!!  WE'LL GO TO THE SEC AND SHOW EVERYBODY HOW WE ARE A TOP TIER TEAM AND WE WILL IMMEDIATELY COMPETE FOR CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!"

    Aggy and Nebraska both blamed their conference, and surprise, surprise, they are still mid-tier teams wallowing in mediocrity, just with a different conference.

    Don't be like those fans.

    Oh, I'm sure some of them are but there's so many different factions now in that fractured country, it just seems like a simpleton's quest to start painting all of them with a broad brush in some ridiculous gotcha game. Apparently, some of those militias were trying to be folded into the regular forces with the US's blessing because we had coordinated the attacks on ISIS with them.

    For me, the bigger question is why they are being allowed to roam around there in such large numbers, burning all kinds of shit and throwing shit over the walls.

    Obviously they die once they breach the inner perimeter, and maybe the thinking by the Iraqi security forces is to just let them wear themselves out burning and throwing shit, and then they'll get bored/tired/leave.

    But if thousands are milling around like that, with no challenge inside the outer areas, how long until somebody drives a car bomb up to one of the inner walls and blows it up?

    Sure, you've got to be suicidal to go up against US Marines in a confined area, but guess what, these militias have plenty of types who fall into that category, and they think there is strength in numbers.

  7. This was taken through a window - people shouldn't be able to get this close.

    Spoiler

     

    And these people were up against the outer wall

    and

    What's really confusing, is there is the US Embassy proper, which is mostly what we are seeing - the big tower and all of that, and then the US Embassy compound, which has all of the housing, motor pools, helipad, etc.
