  1. My daughter's class participates in routine lockdown drills. She is two years old.
  2. I do think there's a small chance to shift public opinion if one of these parents one day decides to be a modern day Mamie Till and show the world, unedited, what these guns are doing to these kids... but that's not something that I necessarily want to witness nor would wish it upon anyone to have to make that choice.
  3. Wild to have Republicans spend years focusing on fucking DOORS as the key way to stop this shit, and then see the shooter instantly gain entrance by shooting through the closed glass door. Galaxy brain argument.
  4. We were just ranked #1 in the "26 and under" Power Rankings. We're such a lucky fucking fanbase to get to experience this run, which appears to be nowhere close to over. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/mlb-26-and-under-power-rankings-no-1-houston-astros
  5. Don’t wanna CR this, but did I just see one of them cite a player-coach argument as evidence that CREATIONISM needs to be taught in schools again?!?!?
  6. What do you do when someone just waits for school to get out and mows the kids down right outside? This will never stop unless something is done about the guns.
  7. Because admitting that would mean the dirty Libs are right. Can't allow that!
  8. Fox already tried spreading the "unlocked side door" rumor.
  9. Shit, you're right. Point stands that every potential option, even the elite of the elite, have giant red flags. Terry's pre-Texas history certainly is one, as is Calipari's doing more with less, as is Oats's inability to keep his program under control, as is Few's struggles in March. There's no slam dunk obvious hire (and this is assuming that any of them are actually obtainable beyond internet speculation) which makes it hard to go against the sentimental choice.
  10. Gonzaga has been the number 1 seed five times in Mark Few's tenure and has never made a final four.
  11. If you don't hire Terry, that obviously means you have to hire someone else. Who is your someone else?
  12. Weird take. If we took a poll in December, I think "coaching in-season" would have been the biggest question mark on Terry's resume. Recruiting, representing the university well, connecting with alumni, etc. were all known strengths of his. I get the concerns with a Terry hire, genuinely I do, but I think the "rest of the job" is the part we won't have to worry about.
  13. I've yet to see this answered. Our options are: A guy who won his conference tournament and was the last under-4 seed remaining in the tournament A guy who took his shirt off and then lost by 23 the next round and has never taken his team past the Elite 8 A guy who had multiple players from his team involved in a murder and then couldn't make it past the Sweet 16 as a 1 seed A guy who signs more 5 stars than anyone yet hasn't made it past the first weekend in half a decade A guy who we'd be asking to leave the NBA to return to college, despite no evidence he wants to do this A guy who retired like a year ago and has a blossoming TV career Who am I missing that is a better option?
  14. Genuinely don't understand the hand-wringing about this. Maybe if there was a Chris Beard circa 2021 no-brainer option out there then I would, but there simply isn't. Every single option (besides maybe luring Jay Wright out of retirement, which I've read isn't happening) would have just as many question marks as Terry. This is the first team in decades that I felt consistently performed to it's talent level. We lost our best player mid-tournament and were still knocking on the door of the final four. You can't merely brush aside Terry getting this team to play to its appropriate level when that is pretty much unprecedented in the history of our program. Generally disagree with the "Texas fanbase has unrealistic expectations" discourse, but some of the discussion I've seen around Terry certainly warrants that label. Choosing a big name (although, again - who even would that be???) over proven success would be a "We're Texas" move, in the most negative way.
  15. "I get the feeling some things will happen here shortly, but I'm not sure who or when." The official byline of texags.
  16. Seems critics have been given a sneak peak at the first few episodes and are liking what they see ... 100% so far for Season 4 on Rotten Tomatoes after 35 reviews.
  17. 100% chance a bill is introduced to ban devil masks.
  18. Beyond Trump and Desantis, every other person that declares is 1) openly grifting or 2) too stupid to realize they don't have a shot. Either way, they should be mocked and ignored. As should Trump and Desantis, but for different reasons.
