    If that is the case you were in my class. I want to say from memory it was a lesbian coach looking women teaching it. It must have been 18-19 years ago. 

    No, then it was a different class. I do remember being in one of the UTC classrooms with him, though. Probably 1999-ish?

    Hodges Mitchell, I think, lead the nation for the number of big hits taken by a little guy. He was always getting rocked.

    No doubt. I felt bad for that guy. He was pretty tough, though. Glad he got a good education. Hope he was able to retain some of it. 

    Was it he who had his knee taken out in the Holiday Bowl against Oregon? I hated Oregon after that game.

    Hodges Mitchell threw an F bomb out during his presentation in Management 335/336 cannot remember the exact number . It was fucking glorious. 

    I remember having Hodges in one of my classes. I think it was the intro management class, but I’m not positive. There have definitely been players in the B-school, but they’re few and far between. 

  4. Charles was a big prankster, too. All the DBs used to jack with the linemen. Charles and this other kid Jason used to put icy hot in the fat guys’ jock straps. They put it in one of our DT’s boxers that he had to wear to school. It was hilarious watching their faces change as their nuts started to burn. 

    I remember when they got this kid Lavonce, our LT who went on to play at North Texas. Lavonce went after Jason first, and Jason curled up in his locker screaming, “Charles did it; Charles did it; Charles did it!” A chase ensued. Charles was naked, so he couldn’t run outside. The other fat guys grabbed ahold of him and Lavonce used Charles’s face to wipe up the icy hot. Needless to say, it cracked me up to see that guy on my TV every Sunday.

    It's a civil proceeding that doesn't require a criminal conviction, or even a criminal indictment.

    That’s correct. But you can raise the burden from preponderance of the evidence to clear and convincing and require more proof. That would put it at the same burden required to remove kids from a home or commit someone to a mental hospital. And it should probably take place after the case is adjudicated.

    The feds seize things without a conviction all the time.  They may not use it for margarita machines, but that doesn't make it right.

    That is true. What isn’t true is that feds seized money and then gave it to a local state agency. Feds keep their seizures and state agencies keep theirs. 

    I am in the camp that you’d better be able to prove the crime if you’re taking the assets, though. The burden is currently too low.

    Well, the funds probably came from their own armed robbery asset forfeiture profits, but a margarita machine was one of the things that they purchased.  I'm sure it necessary for them to perform their job as heroes and return to their families safely at night.  I was living in Montgomery County when the DA finally admitted to the allegations, after of course denying them repeatedly.  Kind of like committing perjury, one of the other things that gets ordinary citizens locked up.  

    The law also limited how law enforcement can spend the money they seize, banning officials from using it to pay for things like margarita machines, as former Montgomery County District Attorney Michael McDougal did in 2005

    So, yes I have a problem with the FBI saying past drug use is okay for their agents when they are using it as an excuse for locking up ordinary citizens and seizing their property.

     

    I’m not doubting that a bunch of local elected officials misused proceeds from lawful forfeitures. That happens all the time. But those assets are acquired from local law enforcement operations, not from federal investigations. You need to understand the difference. 

    Second, there is a huge difference between use and SALES. If the Feds are involved, it’s about drug sales of tremendous amounts. Pounds and pounds. Probably hundreds of pounds if it’s weed. They don’t care if you used it. Many of them probably used it. In Texas, use isn’t even illegal. Possession is illegal, but not use, ironically. So you can tell a cop who smells weed from your car that you don’t have any of the weed he smells because you just smoked it all, and you won’t be arrested. Of course, he will tear your car apart searching it because you just gave him probable cause. 

    So they’re not really being hypocrites. However, if you’ve been a drug dealer, you’re fucked and they won’t hire you, just like you’re fucked if you’re caught currently selling drugs. See the consistency there? So call the Feds whatever you want; hate drug laws all you want, but understand that what you are calling hypocrisy isn’t really hypocrisy. 

    Further, do you really have a problem with seizing the proceeds of criminal activity? Is it wrong to use drug money to pay for court appointed attorneys, or would you rather, as a tax payer (I’m making a big assumption there), pay for those attorneys yourself? I understand the argument that we should raise the burden of proof required to seize the assets, but the cocksuckers who break the law should lose all rights to their ill-gotten gains. I’ll concede that a margarita machine is not an appropriate use of the seized funds.

    Seems a little hypocritical when their current program is to lock users up for as long as possible and confiscate all of their worldly possessions so that the Montgomery County Sheriffs Department can buy a margarita machine for their office

    So you’re saying a federal agency is giving proceeds from marijuana raids to a state agency, and that state agency is using those funds for margarita machines??? You got a link?

    There is no specific qualification for thr FBI, other than a degree.  They do have a fondness for accountants and lawyers.  And they take dipshits straight out of college frequently, but you are not eligible to be a Special Agent gman until you have acquired the experience.

    You can be reasonably assured that he didn't smoke a lot of pot, or survived a polygraph on that issue.

    It’s not whether or not you’ve smoked pot, it’s whether you lie about it that the feds care about. I’ve heard they’ll even give you a pass on coke if you’re honest and aren’t currently or recently using.

  10. Yeah, as Tex Pete said, I played with the guy in high school. We were both safeties. He moved to corner after I graduated. I was a year ahead of him. Hell of a guy. We had four or five other guys on that team we all thought were more likely to make it to the league than Charles. Charles just out-worked all of us. And he was a goofy mother fucker. I’ll never forget watching him cover Roy at DKR and being shocked by how well he did. I assumed he’d get smoked. And then going to his house to watch his college highlight film right before the draft and being twice as shocked. His forty time dropped from a 4.7 in high school to a 4.41 in college. We lost touch after he moved to Chicago. My dad worked with his dad for a long time, so I kinda kept up that way. Really proud of that dude. Very humble, too.

    i mean, whatever makes you feel better about jogging around town with runny shit down your leg.

    I don’t run marathons. I don’t run for leisure, or exercise at all. I prefer not to shit myself, which, as I stated earlier, is one of many reasons not to run a marathon. But the literal shit-posting has inched us ever closer to the magical 1000 page milestone. It’s the least I could contribute to this disaster of a thread. 

  12. Kate is a beautiful woman. I’ve only been around a few months - less than a year. Objectively (and by objective, I mean objectifying women), Sommer is hands down hotter. She is a living, breathing wet dream. I’d never marry her because I could never trust her, but the same is true of Kate. So if we’re calling spades spades, Somer dominates the competition.

    However, if Kate is actually a good luck charm, capable of ensuring recruiting success, I will forego one obvious whore (Sommer) for Kate, a presumptive whore who isn’t quite as obvious about it.

    Shitting yourself during a marathon is definitely not "pretty standard." There are port-a-potties at least every mile. I've finished three and never seen it happen. I'm sure it occurs, but it's rare.

    Stopping to use a port-a-potty is for pussies. That’s a well known standard.  Your time will suffer. Plenty of competitive runners shit themselves during marathons. If you’ve never shit yourself, you’re just a casual marathoner.

    That's about a 4.6 40 time. We were in the same district as Aledo, they are a football factory and don't really get challenged until quarter or semifinals. After Jonathan Gray, I'm a little leary about anything that comes out of Aledo. Their lines open big enough lanes that I could probably average 100 per game at 50.

     

    CHIEF

    McClellan looked amazing in the state title game. So did Grey. The holes were huge for both, but McClellan had a lot of yards after contact. I see your point, though.

    I think that my older sister shit herself a little after the 20 mile marker in her first marathon. 

    But it was in NYC, so there probably weren't any people around to see it/smell it at the finish line.


    FULL DISCLOSURE: I wasn't there, so I can't verify that this actually happened.

    I think shitting yourself during a marathon is pretty standard. One of many reasons you shouldn’t do it, not to mention the first guy who tried it died.

    You want my respect?  Doing up-downs after you shit yourself. 

    How about sit-ups? Putting your face right where you shat.

    In this case, the dude was running 100s, and he ran at least a dozen with shit all over himself. Filled his socks. It was gross. Can you imagine the chafing?

    I wish we still had Rick Barnes

    Man, he’s looking great in Knoxville, but so did we early in his time at Texas. You can’t deny we had gotten very mediocre by the end of his tenure, though. I’m glad he’s doing well at Tennessee, but it was time for a change. We’ll see how long his success lasts at TN.

    But what makes McKnight different? After all, isn't that what every strength and conditioning coach is supposed to do? For me, it's the accountability he demands, and this goes well beyond the yelling and screaming typical of most S&C coaches. It reminds me of what LSU S&C coach Tommy Moffitt has done so successfully for so long. Not only does McKnight get along with players, but he also demands things of his players in a way where they want to get better. He also dilligently tracks their improvement over time so they can see how their bodies have changed over time.

    I agree that Yancy has made a huge difference, and I acknowledge that Moffitt is probably the best in the business, but if Burton thinks Moffitt is a friendly, encouraging coach, he’s a fucking idiot. Moffitt screams at, belittles and mother-fucks his players all the time. He’s an intimidating mother fucker. He made one kid continue running after the kid had shit all over himself. Technically, I suppose the kid could’ve quit running, but he was afraid of the repercussions. But Moffitt’s methods do produce accountability and unity among the players.
