  1. I keep forgetting that this actually happened. This has to be one of the most embarrassing things Aggy has ever done, and that’s saying a lot. I wonder if Jimbo was embarrassed about this.
  2. I went to my first Cowboy's game last season. It was my first, and definitely my last. It's a much inferior experience to a good college game. What is the best college game experience you've ever enjoyed? Mine was a West Point game at Army. Wow, was that amazing.
  3. Fair point about provoking people, then reacting to them. If Kyle Rittenhouse had showed up at a football game w a firearm and provoked opposing fans, I would agree with you that he was to blame. However, if you consider Kyle provoked people by being at the riot with a weapon, then surely you must include the rioters in the category of provoking people. I would say committing $50 million of damages, (NY Times) mostly to small businesses, is pretty provoking, and I contend they lost any moral high ground by being a party to that.
  4. So are the people still thinking local-product Garrett Wilson made a mistake by going to Ohio State over Texas? He fell badly to being the 10th player selected in the draft. If he had stayed at Texas, I bet he would been the highest-ranked UDFA signing.
  5. I remembered Card being under a lot of pressure during the Arkansas game. However, when I watched the video of him vs Arkansas earlier in this thread, I saw lots of plays where he had adequate time but couldn't locate a receiver and ended up bailing on the pocket. He had that deer-in-the-headlights look. I watched Card and Ewers both in HS vs our Chaps. Both were under terrific pressure all game. I thought Ewers handled it better, and actually played very well despite throwing two INT's. Card threw a pick-six. Ewers threw some pretty balls that had us amazed and had a super-quick release that got him out of a lot of trouble. He feels like the best bet to me, and I sure hope he pans out.
  6. It looks like a scene early in the movie where the former star is trying to make a few bucks in some super-hokey, traveling carnival-level football league to show us how far he's fallen.
  7. Does anyone feel slightly embarrassed for a QB who scrambles for a big gain or a TD in a game where he can't be touched? Jaxson Dart's debut for Ole Miss is filled w wild scrambles where he's even calling blocks downfield, etc. Card's TD scramble was somewhat, awkward.
  8. On BBC World News, their naval expert confirmed that that video is of the Moskva. EDIT: As I recall, he said you can see the doors to the helicopter pad left open so it looks like some brave commander got the efff out of there. To your other point, Ukraine/Nato may indeed have a video but may not want to share. Daily Mail did share this supposed satellite image of the explosion:
  9. Germany has a fairly robust neo-Nazi movement. In fact, they even had their assault on their capital building during COVID lockdowns. Not sure they have anything as mainstream bizarre as Fox News, but they do have a lot of underground communication networks.
  10. I actually feel slightly better today about the state of the world than I did two months ago. I felt a lot of fear about the Russians and Chinese employing frightening weapons, manipulative campaigns and technology to further control and divide the free world. Now, we get confirmation that at least the Russians are exposed as a bunch of moronic, laughably stupid, incompetent cheeseballs who couldn't manage to tie their own shoes. As someone aptly stated here, it would be quite funny if they weren't so busy murdering the good people of Ukraine.
  11. Yes, the Ukrainians are also sharing disinformation, as they should, as it’s a form of warfare. However, I wouldn’t believe anything the Russians say at this point. They claim the ship had an accidental fire, then was swamped as it was being towed, but then stated they were firing cruise missiles at Ukraine as an act of revenge. That literally makes no sense. If the ship sunk on its own, why would they need reprisal weapon attacks. Is your image showing the ship after the attack, cause the ship in the background is the cruiser and it looks undamaged. I certainly don’t know what happened either but listening to the Russians?. Not sure why you do, as your posts are always good.
  12. Like so much in this war, (or any war), it's impossible to be sure exactly what happened. I wouldn't trust anything the Russians say, ever. The attack happened at 2am and the ship was supposedly hit by two missiles. If that is indeed true and knowing the incompetence of the Russians, I can assure you that there would be many casualties.
  13. Saw this great meme. It seems like the Ukrainians are trying to make it very clear that they destroyed the ship with their Neptune missiles, as every report they issue says so. It makes me wonder if they actually used US/Nato weapons. Since the attack happened at 2am and the ship sank, there is no way for the Russians to identify what what weapons were actually used. You can read about the attack here. Now the claim is that everyone on board was killed.
  14. Dear Mr. TreatyOak This email is to confirm that you did meet the deadline for submitting your paper titled The Ongoing Conflict in Ukraine and the Geopolitical implications for the West. However, while you did meet the deadline, there were many, many concerning, even disturbing points which I wish to address. First of all, the sources you continually cited don’t seem to be active scholars or think-tanks in the Geopolitical realm. We were unable to locate an organization titled @closetojumping. Is that something from the Russian sphere of influence? Aside from the inability to substantiate this as a legitimate new organization, those quotes were profoundly obscene and seem to have been made by a very disturbed, potentially violent individual or group. It gets worse. Frankly, your line about @South Austin mother is not appropriate or helpful in any way for this discussion. The University of Texas is a safe, respectful environment where we hold all genders and races in esteem and this Is no place to disparage a woman’s right to live her life as she sees fit. I am concerned for this woman’s safety. Do you by any chance have any contact information and address for her, as I would like to check up on her this morning. Frankly speaking, your paper is easily the worst miasma of unsubstantiated speculation, sexist drivel, hate-speech, continual ejaculatory references, inappropriate and insensitive jokes, disturbing imagery and worse, if that’s even possible. Whom are you spending your time with who has twisted your mind so? We are concerned that you are holding court in an imaginary but highly disturbing world with strange characters you refer to as @futureman, @immamac and scariest of all, the extremely disturbing images you attribute to @THUJONE, which seem to be the product of an infantile, puerile mind and suggest that you are possibly involved with some sort of cult. Finally, before we discuss next steps, we would like to address the many images of Ukrainian women that you included and seem highly obsessed with. As I have already addressed this point, blatant sexist imagery has no place in this discussion, nor does that strange numbering system you seem determined to impart into every image with groups of women. What is the meaning of this? Women are not objects to be leered at or judged. This alone is grounds for your removal from the program. To your claim that the images are relevant based on the country of origin are nonsense. However, I would like reach out to Tatiana to ensure that she is currently safe, so please share any more images that you have of her and please forward her contact email. Regardless, I want to conclude with the following steps: I am convinced there is no place for you at this University and I have forwarded your paper to the Dean and campus police with the recommendation that you are immediately removed from the graduate program and barred from the campus. We are concerned that you be a candidate for self-harm, or worse, so we implore you to reach out to an emergency Mental Health Hotline. Please understand that I hope you can get the help you clearly need. Finally, please did not forget about the contact information for South Austin’s Mom and Tatiana. Peace, Professor __________________
  15. Thanks for your post. Lots of good thoughts in there.
  16. Right? Spelling out exactly what lines we won't cross, detailing what we will and won't send, etc, doesn't make sense. Putin always talks in generalities about what he will do if we enter the fight and it has scared the crap out of everyone. We should do the same.
