    You're replying to someone who has regularly bought into insane conspiracy theories regarding the Democrat party, he's not worth the energy.

    And he never has been, either.

  2. That might be but again, they knew the SWC was going to croak and probably perceived no other place to go, so they made the first move instead of waiting to stand around with their little dick in their hand.

    Even if they could have foreseen the Big 12, does that really sound like something that appealed to them? Going on road games to fucking Boulder, Ames, Lincoln and Manhattan? It’s not like an All-Texas conference was a possibility because that’s just an SWC reboot. When Plan A fails, you go to Plan B, not Plan A Recycled.

     1. Was Texas/Arkansas as big of a rivalry as Texas/OU back in the day?

    I’m told by people who were young in that age that it was damned close, certainly closer than aggy could ever be in its wettest fucking dreams.

    2. Is Fayatteville really a big shithole?

    No idea. My dad says it was, but that was almost 49 years ago.

    3. Why did they leave the SWC before it disbanded?

    Perceived closer cultural identity with the SEC and the fact that they saw the writing on the wall that the SWC was going to die after SMU got the death penalty. They left after the 1991 season but they’d been contemplating that decision since the morning of 02/25/1987.

    Oh I can't and wouldn't.   I'm not gonna call out posters, and get into a, I don't like her, yes you do like her, dead end loop of posts.  

    That’s because you’re too much of a fucking coward to own your little bullshit assertion. You’d rather climb up a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth, which is why you’d prefer to live in a bubble and pretend that anyone who detests Donald Trump is head over heels in love with Hillary Clinton. Such is the mind of our Land of Make Believe and Pretend residents.

  5. Well I'll offer two things:

    1. As I wrote about 10 years ago, everyone with an interest in this game owes their appreciation to Michigan for defeating Ohio State two weeks before because without that outcome, Texas vs, Arkansas is a #2 vs. #3 game, Ohio State retains its UPI MNC (that was awarded pre-Bowl) and its AP title by default regardless of what Texas did to Notre Dame since the Big 10 had a rule that said no team could represent it in the Rose Bowl two straight years.

    As it was put to me by Carolyn Ellison in an interview that I did with her, Woody Hayes had a sit-down meeting with her father, then QB coach Tiger Ellison at some restaurant in Columbus during the spring time at Ellison's request. Before Tiger was even allowed to say a word, Hayes informed him (since he assumed the meeting was about this topic) that he was prepared to hand the reigns of the offense completely over to Tiger with the understanding that he was going to implement his Run-and-Shoot system full-time for the so-called "Baby Bucks," as the seniors of the '69 team were called in '66 when Ellison first came aboard to coach the freshman team. Ellison's response was more or less "thanks for the offer, but I'm retiring from coaching and I'm moving with my wife to Florida." Hayes then regressed to his pre-1968 offense with Earle Bruce and George Chaump at the helm, which got them by for the first 8 games until they ran into Michigan and turned the ball over like motherfuckers en route to a 24-12 loss. Years later, Hayes maintained that the 1969 team was the best team he ever coached. I've no doubt that with Ellison still on the staff and in full control of the offense, they thump Michigan and this game is an afterthought.

    2. My dad (pop999 from the old sites) wrote an essay called The 24 Hour Football Game, referring to the fact that he woke up at 4:30 am the day of the game to catch the Braniff flight at Love Field with his grandfather, R. Guy Carter (slorch and other Texas Tech fans may know who he was) and a friend of his. They had breakfast at some hotel at the table right next to Colonel Sanders', and then headed towards the stadium in a cab. Carter told the driver explicitly to meet them at that specific spot about 30 or so minutes after the game. They get there at that exact time and the motherfucker no-showed. They ultimately hitched a ride and headed to the Fort Smith airport in a limo with about 10 or so others. At the airport, the two elders of the group were so overcome with the adrenaline rush of the game, mixed very well with scotch, cigars and steaks at a restaurant in the airport that they fucking missed their return flight to Dallas. They had to opt for a rental car and drove all the way back to Dallas. By the time they got back to Carter's house, where this glorious journey began, Dad looked at that same clock when he woke up and saw once again that it was 4:30 am. Anyways, it's a great essay for a 14-year old and I'll try to re-post it as those motherfuckers at Hornfans lost it in one of their archive dumps. Not many can say they attended both the 1969 Arkansas game and the 2006 Rose Bowl, but he is one of them.

    So, serious question. As Bomani mentioned, we’re there really no black players in the 60s and 70 championship team? (Paging RD???) I wasn’t a UT fan until I went to school there and I’m sometimes lacking in the history of the program.

    1969 Texas was the last all-white team that won an MNC.

    Oh you've got at least 10 fingers on one hand ?

    5, and that's more than what I'd need to count them regardless of what your deluded mind has to emote about it.

    And here's another thing: you just made what's called a "positive claim," namely that there are "at least 10" posters here who "love Hillary." Would you care to name them?

    Go ahead, I'll wait.

    Jeebus the little boys who love Hillary are getting butthurt.  Well you've always between butthurt, but this really hurts I'm sure.

    I could count the “little boys who love Hillary” from this whole website on one hand and have fingers left over. You need to leave the Land of Make Believe and Pretend.

    You mean the 30,000 destroyed or "lost" emails and her illegal/unsanctioned/non-governmental server?  I guess most people would like to understand the process Comey et.al. went through to exonerate HRC before even doing the interview.  

    Just took a shit and realized I ran out of toilet paper.

    Not only that, her cousin was similarly murdered days later.

    Also, Haley announced last week that the US would be vetoing a forthcoming Security Council resolution that calls for the protection of Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories. 

    Wouldn't you know who won the motherfucking pony?

  11. I can't take seriously anyone who doesn't list Rasheed Wallace.

    The guy basically did whatever he wanted defensively, and in ANY instance where he was called for a foul, he made this facial expression as if to suggest that the referee who called the foul was a cop that witnessed some thug kick Sheed's mother in the face and didn't arrest him.

    Goddamnit, that's pathetic.

    It's hard to label these days because the lines are all jumbled up.  IMO Trumpism is a new distillation of various threads in the right, and it's pulled in some people who wouldn't have been Republicans before.   I admittedly don't know too much about Roseanne's political history, but her Twitter before this event is filled with screeds about liberals and nutty shit from Breitbart.   I think she was an early supporter of Trump, before the show reboot. 

    Well again, that means she’s either dabbling in apostasy or idiocy, neither of which merits a microsecond of my attention to her.

    For all the talk from the right about libs and Hollywood, here's yet another example of an entertainer on the right having a prominent role in pushing their political narratives, to the delight of the base. 

    Based on my admittedly limited understanding of her, Roseanne's not a right winger. My guess is that this whole thing has been a gigantic ruse in order to exploit trumpkins on national TV (kinda like how Bill Shatner exploited R's with his Denny Crane character on The Practice/Boston Legal) and their general way of "thinking," and she just took it a little too far with these tweets.

    I could be wrong, but it's just hard to fathom that a self-identified socialist would swing that hard towards the complete opposite end of the political spectrum in that short of an amount of time, particularly when it was entirely based on the idiotic ramblings of that douchebag. I mean, after all, didn't she come out with this pro-Trump nonsense around the same time the show re-launched? And didn't it start when she was on the Kimmel Show dressed as her character and sitting on the goddamn couch from the set?

    And if this is all for real, it should be ignored because the goal of a model apostate a la Christopher Hitchens is to attract as much attention as possible via the launching of rabid repudiations of one's own political past, and we ought not to coddle that via paying even a microsecond's attention to it.

    Well, 1964 is three years before 1967.  Whatever guerilla groups came before that were attacking Jewish lands before that.

    Like someone else already said, you were deeming that as the PLO and used the British exit as the reference point. The British exit and  the PLO’s birth were separated by 17 years.

    But more importantly, what you said about the PLO being offered “their own land” (presumably Palestinian land) “multiple times” is grotesquely false. The only way it could be true is if you analyzed such offers on the premise of “what Israel wants” instead of “what both sides are legally entitled to.”

    Actually they didn't until 67.

    That makes no sense even according to Israeli propaganda. They allege that the Arabs started a war over it in 1948. What do you think that was about?

    You claim to follow this issue closely, so you'd have to know who Israel's main scholars are. So, for example, when you read the writings of Benny Morris, who's widely regarded as Israel's main historian, you'll notice that he wrote a book called Righteous Victims. In it, he says:

    "The fear of territorial displacement and dispossession was to be the chief motor of Arab antagonism to Zionism down to 1948" (p. 37)

    “In the 1880's there were already Arabs who understood that the threat from Zionism was not merely a local matter or a by-product of cultural estrangement.‘The natives are hostile towards us, saying that we have come to drive them out of the country,’ recorded one Zionist settler” (p. 46)

    “[T]he major cause of tension and violence . . . was . . . the conflicting interests and goals of the two populations. The Arabs sought instinctively to . . . maintain their position as [Palestine’s] rightful inhabitants; the Zionists sought radically to change the status quo . . . and eventually turn an Arab-populated country into a Jewish homeland. . . . The Arabs, both urban and rural, came to feel anxiety and fear." (p. 49)

    Regardless of what one's feelings are about the Partition, the facts are clear: there was an indigenous population in Palestine prior to 1948 (let alone 1967). A population cannot be "displaced and dispossessed," cannot "maintain their position as Palestine's rightful inhabitants," and cannot be "driven out of the country" if they aren't already there and already care about it. We as Americans cannot, for example, "displace and dispossess" the indigenous Nepalese population of Florida because there is no such thing. We can (and did) displace and dispossess, for example, Cherokees in Tennessee/North Carolina...because they were there before we were. Again, it's 2018 and things like this shouldn't have to be broken down into such simplistic terms, but that's where we are in modern discourse. This is right up there with Morris' "Hamas chickens!!!"

    Not quite.  The PLO was attacking Israel from Jordan and Syria since the Brits left.  They didn't want their own land (which has been offered to them multiple times) they want Jewish lands.

    The PLO has only been an organization since 1964. That second statement you made is even less accurate.

    That's not the first time they've wiped their ass with human rights/international legal requests/opinions, and it likely won't be the last. This is the same court that rejected the unanimous 2004 ICJ Advisory Opinion regarding the West Bank wall, citing "property rights" as if that was anywhere in the same universe as a valid claim.

    "It's interesting to note that the clandestine branch of the CIA was housed on the top floor," he added. "No personnel were lost, but any and all documents were destroyed, just like a giant shredder. The Pentagon was hit in a wing being remodeled (but few people), that held a mountain of paperwork regarding 1 trillion dollars which the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, was having trouble accounting for. That mountain of paperwork became a pile of ash."
    In a February 2013 post on the blog of a political action committee he established in 2012 called Elect a New Congress, Fawell said that Beyonce's husband, rapper Jay-Z, "has a long history of serving up the godless Illuminati" and shared a YouTube video that speculated that Beyonce's upcoming halftime performance at the Super Bowl would have Illuminati symbolism.
     
    The Illuminati is a secret society that serves as the basis for a popular conspiracy theory that alleges that many of the world's leaders and celebrities are masterminding world events.
    In the same blog post, Fawell said that the previous Super Bowl's halftime show, performed by Madonna, was satanic and influenced by the Illuminati. He also called Madonna a "narcissist skank with the crooked teeth."

    It's 2018 and people like that still insist upon themselves.
