  1. No, it's not defending him...not at all. You can feel sorry for someone and not defend their actions. You can empathize with what a person is going through and still say that what they did was 100% wrong. Sympathy is not dismissal.
  2. Please don't get me wrong...I'm not dismissing his actions at all. But most of us have dated, been engaged, or married someone who was BSC at some point in our lives. They can drive you completely insane.* *Not defending Beard, just empathizing.
  3. Man, you gotta feel for the guy. From the stories we heard in Lubbock about Randi, she is BSC. Hate for a man's career and reputation to be completely destroyed by a cray cray woman.
  4. Ok, another question for the lawyers. Doesn't he have the right to have his attorney there with him, even for this?
  5. See, it's educational material like this that keeps me coming back to the Surly.
  6. Honestly, for someone who has been up all night after (presumably) drinking, spending a few hours in the tank, and presumably having been in an altercation with the fiancee, this mug shut looks a lot better than I expected.
  7. I don't know what "chocking" is. Is this where the kink discussion starts?
  8. THIS. It's amazing to me people here don't get this.
  9. Have a question for you, and I'll be happy to DM if you would like... Do employment lawyers shy away from taking on cases if the employer is the UT System or another State of Texas agency because of the whole sovereign immunity thing? I know someone who is being retaliated against by her boss because she went on partial FMLA, creating a hostile work environment, the works. She's talked to a couple of law firms who advertise that this is their specialty, but as soon as they find out she works for the UT System, they won't touch it.
  10. I'm a Tech graduate, thus I'm not entirely enamored with Beard as you might expect. But with that said... I was really hoping when I first heard the news that it wasn't true. Honestly, I still am. Part of me is holding out hope that APD was overzealous in their charge, and that Beard didn't do anything remotely close to what he's being accused of. Knowing APD's history, that is not entirely out of the question (I remember how terrible they were in the 80's when my sister was attending St. Ed's. I think APD long held the reputation as being one of the worst in the state for being overly zealous and bullying). I guess the odds are there's enough smoke here to indicate a fire. But the thing is Beard still deserves due-process, and he should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. We don't need mob rule, even in DV cases. UT is smart enough to know this and they will do things by the book and not fire him unless cause has been established. I promise you that will not happen today. Beard deserves his due process, and you all as alumni and fans of UT deserve to have due process played out correctly and by the book.
  11. If you want, I can give your Registrar a call on your behalf and explain the justifiable extenuating circumstances to allow the grading portal to remain open for you. They don't want to process those Change-of-Grade forms any more than you wanting to fill them out.
  12. That’s a catch.
  13. I didn’t realize Santa Claus had fallen off Lovie Smith’s roof.
  14. Wow...that didn't age...at all.
  15. I think the janitor got carried away with the polishing and buffing last night. Or the humid, tropical air combined with the AC.
  16. I'm just here to make fun of A&M. Is this where the pile on will be?
  17. Worst DPI call I’ve seen in a very long time.
  18. I wish I didn’t care so damn much about Texas tech football. I would probably have a longer life expectancy if I didn’t. God we suck so bad and I take it so very personally. This is me, on the field, losing this game. That’s the level of unhealthy obsession I have about this game. I am pathetic.
  19. I don’t know if it’s Morton being a RS-FR quarterback or if it’s the shitty play of the OL or both. But the Tech offense tonight has gone full retard.
  20. Memphis meltdown reminds me of Tech losing to UT in 2020. We had a 15 point lead with three minutes left and found a way to grab defeat out of the jaws of victory. Memphis had a 13 pt lead with 1:17 left and blew it. Amazing.
