  1. 6-2 is fucking incredible. Let's score runs earlier in the game the rest of the tournament.
  2. Does nonwhite include Hispanic in that data?
  3. Give Lubbock to the state of Oklahoma.
  4. I agree with the catcher that the inning should have been over on the pitch that was called a ball and she thought it was a strike.
  5. I own a duplex on Walsh Tarlton Ln that went from $707, 000 to $1,207, 000, a 71% increase. Went. Up. $500,000 in one year. Taxes went from $15.8k to 27k. And it would not sell for $1.2M. I could accept something around $900k but not $1.2M. It is a screw job.
  6. We will have to play perfectly to win this set.
  7. I knew the appraisals and property taxes would go up a lot for my Travis Heights properties but the shocker was my duplex off Walsh Tarlton Ln. The value went up 500k which is a 70.7% increase. One. Year. That is BS. Taxes on that one duplex went from $15800 to $27100 or $941/month more. At my current rental rates it will take about 6 months to just cover the property taxes. The rule used to be 3 months of rent would pay the property tax What The Hell
  8. The Eyes of Texas was written as a parody on President Prather in 1903 and people honestly think it is referring to slave owners keeping their eyes on runaway slaves? Really? It is not a proud fact but there were no Black students at UT for over 50 years after the song was written. What sense does it make for the students who were all white singing a racist song referring to Black slaves? If that were the case then it would have been documented as racists can't hide their racism for that many decades. And if the song was written for that purpose then of course we would ditch it.
  9. I'm a 1973 graduate, there were 4% Black students then and 6% now so I don't consider that very different. The biggest difference is the white percentage of students has decreased due to the increase of Asian-Americans and Hispanics. The campus was extremely liberal as evidenced by the size and number of anti-Vietnam War protests and McGovern won the presidential race in '72 by getting over 90% of the vote against Nixon. In 1971 the Student Senate voted to change the mascot from the Longhorn to the Armadillo because the Armadillo was more peaceful.

    Has Chris been accused of sexual misconduct?
  11. I'm just now getting to watch the press conference and Sark sounds much more Mensa than Herman. Let's Go!
  12. Trump is such a pussy he had to fire everyone by Twitter.
  13. What Starts Here Changes the World
