  1. Didi anyone see the South Carolina player assault the DPS officer in the Tunnel at the A&M game yesterday? Or at least that's exactly how the report would have been written up if it wasn't broadcast on National TV. Assault of a police officer, that would have been the charge had the player shouldered the officer the way the officer shouldered the football player and yelled at him. I guess it was reflexive to be honest. The kid was black... This is especially on point for me. Since I was assaulted by a DPS officer, who was offended that I did not bow a knee in The Ritz bar back in the early 80's on St. Patrick's Day. I never though a punch, because the guy could not fight. In a normal fight I would have walked away having likely knocked him out with my first punch. As his first glacing blow off my head left his head about chech high in front of me. Most fights I have ended were by crushing my opponents in the ribs. This would have been the officers head in this case. But I KNEW that if I threw a pinch both the officer tha assualted me, and the police that might arrest us both, would simply lie repetitively to portect the officer that assaulted ME! I got maced int he face point blank, handcuffed and about to be locked up with the officer, but the crowd proclaimed I did not through a punch. So they cut me loose and took the ooficer that assaulted me away. So I wake up and call down to press charges to get a power crazy DPS guy off the street. But of course the thin blue line opted to let the policie officer criminal go by never taking him to booking. I wish I could say that the police are honest, and true public servants. But my experience having know multiple police officers, is that they feel it is their right to inflict punishment at the time of arrest. And that they routinely lie to protect fellow officers. You see they KNOW who the bad officers are, but they relentlessly protect them. Anyhow the wife has jury duty Monday, and I just told her to tell the truth about my getting assaulted by an off duty DPS officer, and the corruption that followed by the APD arresting officers. This truth gets you dismissed from jury duty most every time. But look at what this officer does, and tell me that he would not have filed assault charges if the situation was reversed?
  2. Never trust an overexcited Cock...
  3. But it would honestly be more fun if he had signed the contract, and it was a bigger no cut contract than Brian Kelly's. You know.... another Aggie tradition. Paying two head coaches a season....
  4. Elko should have signed whatever the fuck extension was in front of him last night... And now... we rely on Cocks not to be stupid when excited...
  5. Let's all make a silent prayer that the field goal clang.... Is the second lead on Sportscenter. Right beyond a shot of the victorious Longhorn upset!
  6. You use good paint!!! no additive to fuck the paint up for some shitty half life of bug protection. And since it's not built, yet. You could always build it and design it not to be attractive to spiders? Or paint it white to mask the webs? I assume you want to do a patio cover with open beams for appearance? If so I can make two suggestions. Just get one of these that will screw onto your extension pole. $13 link to HD You could also buy some sort of extension for shop vac (Hillbilly Engineer says tape and a piece of PVC) if the web remnants still bother you. But my man card says you should stop after the brush and have and adult beverage...
  7. This thread reminds me of when my mother was being interviewed for placement in Memory care. They asked a lot of simple questions to get a gauge about the level of her dementia. One answer she gave still makes me smile, so a tip of my hat to this thread. The geographic question was, "What State are you in? And after a pause, she answered, "The state of confusion." Never a truer answer, she passed about a year ago. and while the memory brought a tear to my eye, it was a good tear. I mainly loved the answer because I could honestly have argued that the answer was correct to some UT prof. Hook'em! Both today and tomorrow!
  8. I think the market is afraid of what the information pipeline that has been turned off, may show that we have both inflation and job losses. Which handcuffs the Fed from further cuts. Could also be, why not profit take now as folks start to panic. Today and Monday are going to be interesting. I really thought we might see a bounce back this AM in Tech, but premarket is going the wrong way for me fairly bigly.
  9. OK that made me laugh.
  10. Well... Today... is well... Friday... You may have accidentally set your clock Waaaaaay too far back? It's Daylight savings time.
  11. I was about to come over here and put those links up. I think The Stranglers were the first band i saw there, and I was going to so many shows there I thought I might as well get a job there. So I was a busboy and rarely bartender. I was going to work the door but I wanted to see the bands, not the upstairs bar. Anyhow the documentary is neat, and I am up to the Sex Pistols show in SA. Saw so many bands up close at Club Foot it spoiled me for life. I especially liked the early part of the documentary, regarding the accordion and it's evolution in Central Texas. As a soccer trainer I used to work with joked to me one time very dryly, "I hate the German People! Because they gave my people that damn accordion!" But pretty good documentary, I hope the folks that made it get into the black and can make some more.
  12. I understand the desire for total shutdown but it will never be that way, because of a variety of reasons. the Military in particular. But in this shutdown they were paid by a political donor correct? But the military should always get paid, and anyone that is forced to go to work, should get paid, period. IF NOT, there should not be any repercussions for workers that decline to come to work. Of course if they don't come to work they won't get paid. But it seems unreasonable to fire somebody for not showing up for a job that is potentially forcing them to destroy their credit rating? The plane thing is a no brainer. Get rid of the least economically impacting flights, exactly the ones NOT initially targeted for reduction. I simply do not understand the logic involved in deciding that shutting down commercial airlines first and not other less impactful flights. It was stupid from any perspective. If your goal is to do right by the amercian taxpayer.
  13. It was a Lil something... can't quite remember what...
  14. So if you were managing a business, say the FAA, your first move would be to put the most productive and income producing flights at a 4,5,6% cuts? Then you would look at the least income producing flights carrying the fewest people? From a business, or putting the public first perspective, it's a strange starting point for me? Assuming my goal is the least disruption and minimize economic damage? That's why I think it's so clear that private flights should always be the first one's cut, before a commercial flight? I would be fascinated to know the number of private and non-commercial flights allowed to displace commercial airline flights? From an economic perspective is a no brainer. Having Air traffic controllers paid is a no brainer to me. And I don't fly all that much, but it's like closing an interstate from a business perspective. So again a no brainer for me from an economic perspective.
  15. When you suck against teams you should roll, this is the outcome. I hated it last year and was pissed a Ewers, for not playing better to get Manning some PT, earlier. And on offense, it damn hard to get more folks snaps in a live game when you can only give your regular receivers a couple of snaps before you punt. Maybe we can roll Arkansas and get a lot of PT for the freshmen. But I bet our offensive snap count this year is as low as it has ever been.
  16. I do NOT want to go cloak room on this. I really just want to know if you think airports are such important infrastructure to the public that they should be paid during shutdowns? And do you think that Private Jets (low passenger counts) should or should not have the same access to the flight path as commercial airlines during periods of flight restrictions? My personal feeling is yes, they should be paid as the overall threat to economic activity, makes me feel like Air traffic controllers are essential. Conversely, I think that the first flights to lose access to the flight path should be private planes. Simply as their are a lot of alternative landing places for smaller airlines, that could be utilized. The same cannot be said for commercial airlines. I just think you start off restricting the flights with the fewest passengers is the most logical way to manage such a crisis in the future.
  17. And Niblett is still mostly waiting in line at WR. It's not three years ago, where if you were a talented freshmen you were almost assured of getting a lot of snaps. Depth and competition means more time waiting until you can push that super talented starter out of the way at Texas more and more. And THAT is a very good thing!
  18. Probably words to live by for every non-starter freshman at every University in the country. The question is whether you can push they guy who is currently better and getting more snaps than you out of the way? Or are you certain that while you were unable to make yourself happy with your achievements at Texas, can you guarantee a bigger check or playing time starting over. I think soon you we may see some sort of legislation restricting the movement of players. Just to give more than 6 month stability to rosters? I never fault a kid for trying to put themselves in a better situation. But being a starter at Texas, even if you have to sit a year or two, is starting to become a pretty lucrative route beyond the NIL checks. So they unhappy freshmen have to weigh that future potential as well. And if you do not see a route to eventual playing time, I would look around too. But ALL freshmen, not getting a lot of playing time are disappointed, and unhappy. Almost Universally, because they truly believe that if they could just get some more reps, they could prove they deserve more playing time. That has been true since college football was played with leather helmets.
  19. My vote is for the Colorado Buffaloes, or Colorado School of Mines, But only as the opening game every season. It would be cool, in more ways than one to make that trip every few years.
  20. You wonder what level of desperation the owners actually have? Making this big a downward move during a period of obvious traditional weak pricing. But the low, low,l ow no money down payments.... (forever). Sure would suck to miss a couple payments in the 49th year... When you start needing 50 year loans, you also can't afford kids. Which in helps opens a completely different can of economic worms.
  21. Where apparently, you can freely shit in the lot... So watch your step getting out of the car if you arrive late?
