  1. And I'd love nothing more, but apparently we've still got people who want to re-litigate the James matter from the perspective of believing in belief.
  2. And he was factually, as well as morally, right to do that. Your posts on this subject seem to suggest that the merits were on Tech's side on this matter.
  3. Well it's not like Texas Tech was stupid enough to try the case on the merits.
  4. I think the image of him on that scoreboard was perfectly characterized by @Murfdogg21. It's their way of saying "sucks you died, but we're keeping the money still."
  5. You say that as if those disgusting individuals even have the capacity to accept new information that contradicts their fixed beliefs, i.e. the capacity to admit they were dead ass wrong. These are men who believe in belief, and if my great-grandfather were alive at the time, he'd have caught the first plane to Lubbock and broken each of their arms.
  6. Then watch MSU hire Kingsbury after Arizona cans him…just to piss them off
  7. To be fair, I don't think Leach ever wanted him either. I've always been suspicious that Hance pressured him to take Adam.
  8. Alright. 1998: QB-Major Applewhite B-Ricky Williams X-Kwame Cavil A-Bryan White W-Ryan Nunez Z-Wane McGarity Leach did use a little 2-back under center, so Brown would check in and would also use some TE, so Derek Lewis would check in too. He also used split HB’s some with the gun, so Ricky and Hodges at the same time on those. By and large, the above lineup would have been the typical set. OL you already know. Ricky probably doesn’t break Dorsett’s record, but he breaks the all purpose record and still wins the Heisman. Won’t say we beat KSU, but it’d be a better game. Tech might have been a W but again defensive issues were the predominant theme of that loss, too. 1999 would have been much better. No way we lose to NC State, KSU might turn into a W and no fucking way does that fucking aggy bonfire bullshit happen. By that point Leach likely takes the Tech job and the Texas games are even nastier than they were. That having been said, Leach instills a different attitude in the offense than Greg Davis and the Horns probably don’t play like turtles for 5 years against OU.
  9. This just hurts so fucking much that this will be the last thing I'd like to say about him today. It's the same poem Carolyn Ellison read to her father, Glenn "TIger" Ellison, minutes before he died: An old man going a lone highway, Came, at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting your strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again will pass this way; You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build this bridge at evening tide?” The builder lifted his old gray head; “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followed after me to-day A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”
  10. Yeah I had go through this for my grandfather, too. Had a massive stroke that left him brain dead. He was rushed to a hospital and they kept him on machines until documentation of his advanced directive could be presented and, of course, we had time to say our goodbyes. It fucking sucks.
  11. Just goes to show once again that this is an unjust world: that it's even conceivable that Mike Leach could precede Kent Hance and/or Craig James in death. Yes, I fucking said it. As many of you know, I had a brief foray in the football coaching profession before a series of circumstances forced a different life to happen. I had a lot of coaches whom I considered inspirations to push me in that direction, but Mike Leach was damn near at the top of the list. Had the pleasure of meeting him once before the 2008 season began. Great dude and not one of the ones who require a mythology to build that aura (i.e. Schembechler, Paterno, etc). Thank you, Pirate.
  12. Yes, in progress at the time of the call, not at the time of police arrival on the scene.
  13. You should have left them a burning shitbag
  14. I mean the moment anyone starts talking about “bipartisanship,” you need to hold your wallet. Bipartisanship is about the most stupid thing that appeals to ignorant people who seriously believe the US is a centrist country with two parties that are equidistant from the axis point of the political spectrum. So yeah, Kyrsten, go ahead and brag about the art of bridging the gap between the off-the-spectrum right and the center right. Go ahead and brag about how star spangled fucking awesome you think that is. Meanwhile, as others have already pointed out, you’re wildly unpopular in your own state for that precise and exact reason.
  15. That “Warnock is a wife beating asshole too” bit is perhaps the worst example of the pot calling the silverware black I’ve ever seen.
  16. Exactly. Just looking at the raw score by itself tells you absolutely nothing.
  17. If you haven’t heard commentary by James E. Cornette regarding that fucking clown, you are depriving yourself.
  18. Anal intercourse with a dildo doesn’t produce offspring. See I can ruin lunches, too.
  19. Well he did get this one right: Saturday is making a bunch of people look dumb.
