  1. I honestly think the only end game other than pure autocracy is a collapse of the US economy followed by widespread revolt. I'm not the kind to actually root for revolt, but there are no mechanisms in place to keep American democracy safe.
  2. They probably come out of the same factory.
  3. I like James Carville, but I fear he is way off base with his prediction of a Trump administration collapse. Trump owns all 3 branches, he has unassailable support.
  4. If you find one, please post it.
  5. Have Aggies busted out the "highest revenue athletic department" accounting yet? You know it's coming. Put it on the wall.
  6. You are making zero sense. Unironically.
  7. I'm not sure your point. I really don't care how Quinn does in the pros. I hope he gets drafted high and if he does well thereafter, great, it reflects well on the UT program, but as far as any investment in his future goes? Nah. It does raise an issue -- why is he "injury prone"? Is it physiological? Is it his style of play, perhaps related to his inability to navigate the pocket and avoid big hits? I have no idea.
  8. Fuck you. Seriously. There's no "cult" here, it's just people trying to inject a little sanity into the narrative constantly pushed by Arch fanbois. I hope Arch is WAY better than Quinn. That would be a good thing. If he's a little bit better, that would be a good thing, too. I root for Texas, and I don't knob-slob as a middle-aged man over some fucking kid.
  9. Holy shit, that's a lot of rationalization.
  10. He also ran for a TD. 3 passing, 1 rushing. Oh, the horror. Fucksticks.
  11. Do you ever consider the good things? His performance against ASU was essentially dead even with those against UMich and UF, as per QBR.
  12. In Austin: Officials confirm first case of measles in Austin
  13. If I had to choose between Q Snyder and RT, I actually think I'd go with RT.
  14. No idea. More importantly, I don't give a shit.
  15. I remember when we were greedy for taking a $20M annual payout from ESPN. Anybody else remember that?
  16. To this point: I talk about my daughter too much, but she is dealing with this exact thing, a conflict between an immediate opportunity in music vs wrapping up her undergrad at UT and moving on to a PhD program. I have yet to speak with a single prof in her department who says a year or two chasing the rock star dream will hurt her chances at an elite PhD program. In fact, they all pretty much concede the opposite. It is really difficult to stand apart from all one's peers when everyone has the same track record. Schools and employers are looking for things that set candidates apart. I don't think there is anything wrong with encouraging kids to branch out a bit in their early 20s.
  17. With absolutely no evidence, just a gut feel, I'd bet there are at least a dozen D1 coaches who could do better than RT with this exact budget. There is no reason to stick with him.

    I remember when no club would print "Fuckemos" on their media or even their marquee.
