  1. If your parents or you are on Social Security, get ready for no cost of living increases. Since they are tied to BLS’s inflation numbers, Trump will compel reports of no inflation, even when it’s 4% and SS recipients will be screwed.
  2. Gay? Really? In 2025? C’mon now. That was really well done. When expectations are low, it’s easier to impress when recruits discover that are actual roads in Lubbock.
  3. Opponent recruiters are telling recruits there are no roads in Lubbock. Chuckle, really?
  4. Who’s surprised? https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-may-give-big-balls-edward-coristine-presidential-medal-of-freedom-the-same-medal-as-rosa-parks/
  5. The Metropolitan Police Department is seeking the community’s assistance in identifying a person of interest in an attempted unarmed carjacking that occurred in Northwest. Ordinarily, I would never, under any circumstances, support this kind of criminality. But y’all, this is Big Balls.
  6. Most Americans won’t care: https://www.axios.com/2025/08/12/trump-bls-antoni-jobs President Trump's nominee to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, E.J. Antoni, suggested the possibility of suspending the bureau's flagship monthly jobs report. Why it matters: It's one of the world's most fundamental pieces of data, crucial for investors to understand the health of the U.S. economy. Catch up quick: Antoni made the suggestion in an interview with Fox Business in response to concerns over the report's accuracy. What they're saying: "How on Earth are businesses supposed to plan — or how is the Fed supposed to conduct monetary policy — when they don't know how many jobs are being added or lost in our economy? It's a serious problem that needs to be fixed immediately," Antoni told Fox Business. The other side: Economists were quick to slam Antoni's suggestion. "That would (be) a serious mistake in my estimation. It would only fuel critiques of a politicization of job market data and likely result in volatility across asset classes," RSM US chief economist Joe Brusuelas tells Axios. "One gets the sense that comments like that will cause US Senators to question his wisdom, qualifications and suitability for the job." The intrigue: The jobs report isn't the only major government program facing Antoni's scrutiny. In a 2024 interview he called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" that would eventually collapse.
  7. John Eastman, Ken Chesebro, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and Jeff Clarke, all disbarred former lawyers of Trump, will soon be joined by Pam Bondi. They have to be asking themselves, why?
  8. Good point. Forgot about him. Different cheeks from the same ass.
  9. Reportedly, and predictably, he suffered with mental illness but still allowed to possess a firearm. If we have to suffer the inconvenience of being shot, we’ll…
  10. She looks like a West Virginia linebacker.
  11. As coaches go, sure. But not when it comes to being a decent person.
  12. Sure. Whose opinion should be considered here? Yours?
  13. On another note, what the hell is the point of the Wesley Hunt commercials that are everywhere?
  14. Do all of the career FBI officials being fired for no good reason have legal grounds to sue?
  15. Offer it up, as Sister Perpetual Help would routinely say. All for Jesus through Mary.
  16. That’s not what the BMDs have said. They view their portal and recruiting hauls as a starting point of a deliberate process designed to elevate their program long term. Because McGuire’s tenure has been the most successful of their recent coaches, there’s very little reason to believe they won’t continue to improve, especially given he’ll coach their most talented roster ever.
  17. Sadly, you’re correct. They know light and willingly choose darkness instead.
  18. Stop being so sensitive. You’re acting like there’s some comparison to made between Austin and Lubbock. I guess you really don’t want to be told about Texas Tech on a thread about Texas Tech. Go figure.
  19. Relax. Big cities can handle the criticisms that often come their way because they accept the fact that they are many things to many people. Even after putting in my time in Austin, it’s still just okay to me. Its trying too hard to become uber cosmopolitan while many of those 30,000 millionaires from Dallas and elsewhere are taking up residence there. It’s congested and not as ethnically or culturally diverse of similar size. It’s okay but just as it is Calcutta, it’s not Shangri-La either.
  20. Even if one takes your post at face value, it hard to understand why schools similarly situated in (what are to some) unappealing places don’t get the same kind of smoke. East Lansing, Ann Arbor, Stillwater, West Lafayette, Stark Vegas come to mind. You have to know this. While many of us think Austin is it own version of Shangri-La, others of us think it’s Calcutta without the cows. It all about the eye of the beholder: “Author James Michener described the Spanish Renaissance-themed Texas Tech as "the most beautiful west of the Mississippi until you get to Stanford."
  21. That so much of the bagging on Tech has to do with location is particularly telling, imo. Listening to the recruits, you have people dragging Lubbock who’ve never been there. It strikes me as a sign of desperation when your negative pitch is reduced to that. The Georgia guy provides some insight here: https://atozsports.com/college-football/joey-mcguire-did-what-again-inside-texas-techs-shocking-five-star-commitment-and-why-it-might-not-be-its-last-ladamion-guyton-joey-mcguire-james-blanchard-cody-campbell/
  22. But then there’s the current national champion, Ohio State. Sometimes you eat the bear. Sometimes, the bear eats you.
  23. That was kinda my point.. Since my earlier post, I’ve learned Tech is going head to head with Texas for this QB: The Red Raiders would also position themselves well for other elite targets, including Rivals’ No. 1 quarterback Kavian Bryant, who lists Texas Tech and Texas in his top two, and Rivals Industry five-star offensive tackle Cooper Hackett.
  24. Yeah, boy. They’re out and proud: https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/politics/video/texas-republican-redistricting-digvid
  25. What is it with all these Sec coaches wanting to become maga politicians? Tuberville has dumbed down the senate. Now Bruce Pearl and Derek Dooley are looking to join him. Why?
