  1. From the WaPo story about this (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/building-gets-a-new-name-the-donald-j-trump-institute-of-peace/ ) So, yet again, it's all just window dressing on an empty shell.
  2. As a new Ark fan this year with a kid now going there, I am amazed at how many of their fans just expect the glory days to come roaring back. So many of them were begging the school to keep Petrino, whose overall record is spotty at best (and didn't win ONE SINGLE GAME after taking over as interim HC). I think Silverfield is a decent hire - as mentioned above, he seems to have a strong football mind and understand the new NIL/portal environment. But the SEC is consistently a meat grinder, so if he can't recruit quickly (and get the Waltons/Tysons/Hunts of NWA to pony up even more for NIL), don't expect much to change. Ark is in good shape in most other sports, and the AD Yurachek has been really vocal about needing to fix funding for football now, so we'll see.
  3. This quote is all you need to know:
  4. This feels like dirty pool from Allred operatives. Or maybe just the usual GOP scumbags who feel threatened by a rising opponent.
  5. Speaking of crappy SEC officiating, the Razorbacks did themselves no favors yesterday with some bonehead plays, but they were in it the whole game - until the refs decided they shouldn’t be. 18 penalties for 193 yards vs. 4 penalties for 30 yards for Miss. State.
  6. As a side note, I'm curious why UTD is not part of the UT system's CAP program.
  7. How is Bowie HS affected by all this?
  8. Abbott, Morath and the Leg have made that very difficult. So the districts then turn to TREs and bonds, which then the GOP machinery goes into motion to fight. It's happening in several DFW-area districts right now for the upcoming election. Richardson ISD has never had a bond voted down in over half a century, but it may well happen this time.
  9. Bo French is the worst person to come out of TarCo/FW in a long time, and that is quite a distinction given the competition from Tim O’Hare and some other real winners in past years.
  10. I had the Wednesday special at the DT Dallas location about a month ago and it was the best meal I’ve had there in a long time.
  11. GoFundMe scraped public IRS data to create donation pages for over 1.4m U.S. nonprofits - including their logos and options for ongoing monthly donations - without their consent. They stood to make millions off of platform fees until a couple folks noticed it and raised a stink. https://abc7news.com/post/gofundme-created-14-million-donation-pages-nonprofits-bay-area-organizations-had-no-clue/18013410/ They've now reversed course on the suggested 15-17% "platform tip" default - but otherwise acting like it's all just normal. https://thenonprofittimes.com/npt_articles/breaking-gofundme-reversing-course-on-nonprofit-pages/
  12. Just coming here to say this. He's alive and well and seems to be doing fine - still married with kids, running a State Farm office, etc.
  13. At the Ark-aggy game tonight and it was as good a game atmosphere as I’ve experienced. Shame the Hogs have no defense, as the offense kept them in it the whole way.
  14. Man, he was soooo smooth. I was a P1 of the Questlove Supreme podcast (also RIP), and he talked so frequently on there over the years about his time with D'Angelo and how formative those experiences were (especially making 'Voodoo'). This has got to hit him hard.
  15. @dieworkwear is always a fun follow.
