    sheesh our stickhandling leaves a lot to be desired.  passing and just general puck control.

    It's kind of night and day from last game where every pass found our stick and they couldn't get it into our zone.  That's the way hockey go?

    Regardless of whether you support the students or the administration, I’m just glad to see students care about something/anything. Maybe in the future they will turn their attention to a corrupt Supreme Court justice who takes bribes and a presidential candidate who is charged with too many felonies to count. 

    I dunno - sounds kind of mainstream and harder to coordinate outfits for.  And "From the River to the Sea Donald Trump shall not go free" probably isn't edgy enough.

    There has been a lot on the news about Ivy League schools. You should check the Wi-Fi under your rock. Only kidding. 
     

    came here to post this. Neutrally. 
     

    not sure what is planned for tomorrow. But I don’t see the Tyrant letting these kids run his goon squads off again. 
     

    actually concerning for tomorrow. 
     

     

    Just a bunch of good kids peacefully protesting.

    Regarding the tents:  I've reviewed all the footage I can on KXAN and I see one tent.  I see a shit-ton of umbrellas, which I think we can all agree is not a tent.

    So, wtf?

    Go to post 1042.   More than 1 tent although still incredibly lame.  My favorite is what looks like a couch cushion to reinforce their barrier protecting said tents.

    You’re making a very good argument for just ignoring them.

    If I were personally in charge, I probably would have done what Brisket suggested which is let them fucking cook in the sun all day in their masks then clear them out after sundown.

     More to the point, I've seen a photo of maybe 1 tent from last week. Enforcing the rule is removing the tent and maybe the person who put it up. Not kicking out everyone. I get that you don't like their speech. I get that you don't like these students. I don't get how you don't give a fuck about a pretty blatant and violent violation of civil rights. 

    Look at the picture from today dude.  They made a lame little tent city and encircled it locking arms.   They could have easily protested within the stated parameters and chose not to.  It was a fucking strategy.  At least see it for what it is.

    And the point has been that you can't arrest someone for a violation that hasn't actually occurred yet. Destroying a protest on the grounds that someone might violate a rule is fundamentally immoral and unconstitutional. 

    Well that wasn't actually the rule.  That was Brisket's interpretation of what a reasonable rule would be.  The actual rule (dating back to at least 2012 apparently) is no tents.  So the rule WAS violated.  Intentionally of course.  So they could escalate this shit for media attention.

    I agree - in this case the “reasonable rule” was no tents ever right? I mean i guess it can be debated if it was reasonable but everyone knew what the “red line” was goin got be. 

    Right and let's not pretend if the rule was Brisket's "reasonable rule" of 10PM cut-off, then this same thing wouldn't be happening at 10PM.   They got what they wanted.

  9. The entire offseason for the Cowboys has been laughable and this is the icing. Back to Zeke?? LOL. Can't make this up.  I can't fathom how anyone manages to be a die hard Cowboys fan.  Jerry just steals your time and money laughing all the way to the bank.  It's truly such a unique blend of incompetence and DGAF (because the $$ will roll in regardless) that it's pretty fascinating to watch.

    Did Kidd talk about this at all post-game?  I did not understand strategy there at all.   I listened to a pre-playoff interview with Cuban and he specifically talked about how rim protection from Gafford and Lively was a huge part of what turned this season around, and then we just abandon it in the 4th quarter.   I'm still at a loss for how we didn't make an adjustment by the 3rd or 4th time Harden drove to the basket without resistance.

  11. I still can't believe Roope didn't finish which led to the shorty.  He's probably 90% in that situation and on a cold streak we haven't seen from him.  I was convinced he had been injured but certainly not there.  Just unbelievable.  We would have a 3 or 4 goal lead if Thompson wasn't playing great OR we just fucking finish like we have all damn season.  But fuck it.  A 1 goal win is the same as a 6 goal win.  Get composed, play your game, and just fucking win.
