  1. The clear terror of the Republican party to confront this should only embolden its adversaries to dig in and continue to go hard at every single opportunity. Hell create opportunities. I won't hold my breath though.
  2. Say what you will about that problematic 41% but I’ve never been more certain about 4% of a group of people needing to be shot into the sun.
  3. I see Trump’s work is done here. Good job everybody.
  4. Probably breaking in to steal some shit like all them colored fellas are always looking to do
  5. Pat McAfee is catturd?
  6. Soooo the Chinaman wasn't the issue?
  7. Your burger is good but a touch overrated and your fries are straight running garbage, you've overexpanded and that has likely hurt whatever quality you did have.
  8. Yea, Luca pulled some Obi Wan shit on her
  9. Interesting thought from my wife had not seen here. If those two had just kissed is this even out there?
  10. I can easily see Shane very quickly earning himself a lot of "walking the hours"
  11. I'm not anti Gillis but point of order....depending on the source Gillis lasted somewhere around a couple of weeks at West Point so that's not the point you think it is.
  12. Are you stupid or something? I'm sure the guy who paid hush money to a former porn star would never think of using United States taxpayer dollars to buy the silence of an AG he wants to part ways with
  13. Shane Gillis is lumpy. He can be very funny, he can be very not funny. The awkward delivery style doesn't always help. The act the other night had its moments (the friend's wife as WNBA star in particular went hard) but he's no Ricky Gervais.
  14. Yeah, you're probably good. You get UT acceptance/CAP/PACE/decline in late January to mid February, depending on how on top of their shit they are (they got 90K apps this year, so they fell a bit behind and had to send out the "give us another few weeks notice" in late January). You accept CAP agreement and pref campus in early March, so the two events are disconnected. A few other interesting things about CAP. One, only around a third of the students who take CAP end up at Texas. I have done some digging around on why that is. Of course, some of it is that they don't hack it, but the majority of it is that the kid in question ends up at whatever campus they end up at, decides they like it there, whatever they are pursuing, etc, and decides to stay....which has been the UT System's goal all along. That won't be my kid, but it sounds like it ends up being a lot of them. The second is that I have heard a lot of rumors that CAP is about to be wound down and retired in the near future. Nothing concrete but that's out there on the breeze.
  15. This is what my daughter (a freshly graduated UT nurse who is about to start in a peds cardiac ICU next week) said as well. Of course, she unfortunately also added that with CHF and the type of care he likely receives that one could go for quite a while....womp womp.
  16. LOL yea my wife pulled that off for him. He was at a pre-district baseball game across the metroplex, and I was down in Austin for the last dad's weekend with my graduating daughter's sorority. She had the wifi triple-checked, multiple laptops open, the whole bit...
  17. My son has a number of hours between AP credit and Dual Credit classes he took in HS that he is trying to make work. He may lose the opportunity to use some of them here or there, but the expense of those was fairly negligible to us in the grand scheme of things. Whatever works when all is said and done will work and be gravy. He's going to roll into UT with 30 hours on the books because CAP makes you do that, so at the very least, he will be "on schedule". Regarding the 9-hour fall requirement, I believe you can take up to 12 (you still have to complete 15 in the spring and 6 in the summer). However, in our situation, due to the aforementioned credits, he does not need to cram in more UTSA work when it is probably not necessary.
  18. I got a kid who just graduated UT Nursing (all 4 years) and then one of my twins is headed to UTSA this fall on CAP with designs on either Economics or McCombs if he can pull off that trick. He had plenty of other options but he was pretty much ride or die with Texas (his nickname on his HS baseball team was Bevo) We live in DFW and seems like a lot of CAP kids up here try to land UTA but he was deadset on being closer to the mothership Two things for those of you talking about UTSA for CAP that I can share so far: 1 It may not quite be a “buying Taylor Swift tickets when they come out” situation but it isn’t far off. CAP spots at UTSA are very limited and were gone in a matter of a couple minutes when the CAP agreement opened this spring. This past spring that was 6pm on a Friday night in early March so you need to be prepared for that going in. 2. On the 30 hours. Unlike most of the other CAP schools UTSA requires you to take it in this order. 6 hours summer, 9 hours fall, 15 hours spring. Summer is online (my son actually started college the last 4-5 days we were in Italy) so not like your kid has to be in SA but again something to factor in. Also consider a fall load of 9 hours isn’t exactly “busy” so talk with your kiddo about how to manage and make best use of time.
  19. Dude can have a long and prosperous career teaching typewriter maintenance at the Rocko Clubbo School for Women.
