  1. It was the same as far back as 1983. I remember seeing folks on street corners with cardboard signs saying we should move on from the Robert Moerschell/Rick McIver experiment and give Todd Dodge a shot. And that team was 11-1! A year later, letters were written to Texarkana Gazette sports editor Johnny Green saying Dodge should be benched in favor of Brett Stafford.
  2. I live in an ag community. I also work for the federal government. Unfortunately, I work for an agency that still requires me to show up for work during the shutdown. The last one lasted 35 days, so we were tardy on two paychecks. Every shutdown, without fail, local social media is overrun with posts by farmers/ranchers championing sticking it to the feds. Here's one from 2018, for example, from a rancher who also owned a restaurant.... A week later, he, along with many others in the ag community, were complaining to our senators and representative that they weren't getting their gubmint handouts or able to apply for loans because the Farm Service Agency was shut down. Farmers across the country complained loud enough that the FSA's status was changed from furloughed to excepted, so as not to upset the "backbone of our country." I think they should be forced to prove they didn't vote for Trumpmusk before getting any preferential treatment.
  3. Hey @Balcones, we can all see your Escarpment!
  4. Stephanie Bowers is the last ambassador to the Bahamas who served under Trump. Bowers is a graduate of George Washington University with degrees in International Affairs and French Language and Literature. She's also a Distinguished Graduate of the National War College with a masters in National Security Strategy. In 2019, she led the US relief efforts to The Bahamas for Hurricane Dorian. However, she never won a Heisman Trophy, never had two 1000-yd rushing seasons in the NFL, nor was she ever single-handedly responsible for turning a losing NFL franchise into a 3-time Super Bowl winner by NOT playing for them. Advantage - Herschel. I cannot wait until the next disaster strikes The Bahamas so Herschel can show the world his leadership abilities.
  5. Fired for attempted murder. Had he been successful, he'd now be the Bell County sheriff.
  6. Yep, my grandmother broke her hip at 82, then died a short 19 years later at 101.
  7. Hunter should have prepared a speech. That shit made him look less than intelligent. Actually, he should have let his mom speak for him.
  8. He doesn't want to back up Ewers again.
  9. Never thought I'd utter these words, but can we get back to talking about Bill Maher?
  10. Real estate prices have gone batshit crazy across the entire state since 2020.
  11. RIP to mom's spaghetti.
  12. Shouldn't matter. Any member of the armed forces he tries to court martial will have a court member panel (jury) of equal or higher rank. Doubt any would be found guilty.
  13. I just watched the 30 for 30 about Big East basketball yesterday. Had to google to see if he was still alive. I feel partly responsible for this. The Big East of the 80s was so damn fun to watch.
  14. If only we had more time. Four years just was not enough. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-prosecutor-smith-asks-judge-dismiss-2020-election-subversion-case-against-2024-11-25/
  15. Of course, the Cowboy win when the fucking season is already shot. They'll wind up winning at least 4 more games the rest of the year costing them 5 or 6 spots in the 2025 draft order.
  16. NBC and Merv Griffin are who screwed Chuck out of the Wheel of Fortune gig. Chuck asked for a raise to what Richard Dawson and Bob Barker were making. Griffin agreed to pay most, and NBC said they'd cover the rest. But Griffin threatened to move WoF to CBS, then NBC pulled their offer. After that, Woolery's contract wasn't renewed. Politics aside (I dont care for either Chuck or Pat), but Chuck was a far better host than Pat.
  17. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
  18. I just hope you all realize we're watching college football history right here. This will be the greatest comeback in the history of ball.
  19. Same, buddy. Same.
  20. Just sitting here watching the Chiefs down by 9 with 2 minutes remaining wondering how the league is gonna bail them out.
