  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. That’s a catch.
  4. I didn’t realize Santa Claus had fallen off Lovie Smith’s roof.
  5. Wow...that didn't age...at all.
  6. I think the janitor got carried away with the polishing and buffing last night. Or the humid, tropical air combined with the AC.
  7. I'm just here to make fun of A&M. Is this where the pile on will be?
  8. Worst DPI call I’ve seen in a very long time.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I can’t stop laughing.
  13. Mike Leach is a national treasure.
  14. Its old school. Like 80’s-90’s old school. Don’t be hater. A hat like that was the bomb back in the day.
  15. Dana is unhinged.
  16. Black isn’t even one of their secondary or tertiary colors.
  17. Pathetic. UH should never have been invited to the Big12.
  18. You know that's not a Tech guy, right? That's some Twitter guy named Dana Beers who has a schtick going right now where he is being "recruited" to be a lifelong fan of a college team, and he's taking his official visits to schools this fall. Seems like a fat jackass who has somehow developed a following on Twitter. I'm a little amazed at how many schools and fanbases are engaging in the recruitment. Not sure what being chosen brings you, except some drunk fat Twitter guy who I guess has never actually gone to college. Google video of him at A&M.
  19. This is why we can’t have nice things.
  20. No need to be snarky. Never said it was easy to understand. But if we need to interpret scripture, we need to interpret it with scripture. That's why there is Bible Concordances...to help us with this chore. Also why any pastor should be willing to tell his congregation to please check his work at all times with what is in the Word, and to call him out should he preach something contrary to the Word.
  21. Actually, St. Paul is very clear on this. It's only controversial to those who believe evolving Church doctrine supersedes scripture.
  22. It's not idealist. The problem is thinking that we humans can interpret scripture, when in fact it is scripture that interprets scripture. Any interpretation of scripture should and must be tested against other passages in the Bible. One may think this is simplistic and naive approach, but in fact it is exactly what the Bible instructs us to do. God did not leave us a mystery to solve...his Word interprets his Word for us.
