  1. Never seen Tx play this sloppy in a damn long time
  2. lol that was the best Bama can do?
  3. Well this game finally got interesting… at the worst time
  4. How is this guy a DI QB?
  5. The horror… the horror…
  6. My goodness… just makes her even more desirable
  7. Along that though exercise, what if an institution like Harvard decided they care about sports?
  8. Who cares though? Is it fair? Nope. But for the schools Texas competes with, this is the pragmatic new landscape. As a society should we care that our universities focus this much about sports... debatable/probably not, but it sure is fun though.
  9. <Shrug>, overall the article seems fairly neutral, looks like the journalist writing it focuses on non-profits. Sports desk is now all The Athletics folks only.
  10. Hopefully they’re all putting in the work to recognize breaking pitches better.
  11. You're not wrong, doesn't excuse her lame response.
  12. I mean… she really can’t claim the no criminal history bit anymore can she?
  13. I mean this current incarnation hasn’t been too bad so far! 😄
  14. For fun, this is the NFL player's union report card on each team.. maybe from 2022? Heard about this from a recent Freakonomics podcast on labor and they featured the NFL, really facinating and interesting. https://nflpa.com/nfl-player-team-report-cards
  15. I'll readily admit, I have a novice's understanding of crypto. And at first it seems really cool all the good and possible things it can do as described by its evangelists say 5 years ago. It seems currently though, it's evolved to basically speculative investment asset type that borders on a ponzi scheme... I think it's kinda understandable why governments around the world are stepping in and regulating this technology.
  16. There will likely be unintended consequences from any governmental intervention. Even if one advocates for balance, cause you know people are irrational beings. Where I want to see our government (really all of us) do better is to own up and grow/learn from mistakes. Have a growth mindset.
  17. Maybe. I have a classmate from Edinburgh. Mexican American and he is alllll on the Abbott train for all this crap.
  18. Interesting question… don’t know enough to say but sure seems that way right? The lost cause/confederate sympathizers were clearly already there and very active before this. And yeah this basically gave them justification in their minds for past actions and to continue. Surly historians?
  19. To be clear I’m just drawing some parallels with current events with the book I’m reading that post Civil War South with the Republicans trying to push civil rights initially. But by the time Grant left office and Hayes took over the Republicans have absolutely lost the political will on civil rights and shifted to economic interests in the North and West. Not to mention Haye’s own election had its issues with figuring out who won all the votes just like Biden/Trump with Democrats alleging all sorts of shenanigans without proof. History really is fascinating.
