    Cruz vs Beto

    He's the vice president on the 2020 Democratic ticket.
  2. Agree with Vic. I would re-district back to six conferences, each with a championship game - effective round of 16. Then have six champions plus two at-large (either independents or best runners-up from conferences). First round occurs at top seed home field the week of Army-Navy. Then you have four teams to slide into the current calendar.
  3. I realize my own fault, but my intent was not to derail the thread to Baylor. My point was just that Baylor had two players arrested for rape; both were immediately kicked off the team (I apologize for misspeaking about Elliot having actually played, and Oakman was post-playing career). Fatterson did nothing to Turpin or Boykin and re-instated Pachall and maybe others (not an expert, don't have the time). My guess is if that if ESPN lights a fire in Cowtown like it did in Waco, the results will be similar. This Turpin situation is bad based on the Baylor (vs. FSU-Winston) standard. Apologies for the derail - not defending either but wanted to clarify.
  4. Baylor had two players arrested. Neither ever played a down as they were booted from the team upon arrest. In addition to this guy, TCU had Boykin, Pachall, the players arrested for dealing drugs ... I'm not sure its not significantly worse than Baylor objectively (dogpile notwithstanding). If this isn't a pattern of lack of institutional control and players behaving badly, not sure what is; and the university's reaction has not been stellar.
  5. Fatterson's head was in the towel: https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/mac-engel/article220463635.html TCU football coaches have known for over a month about an incident back in March involving star receiver KaVontae Turpin, but when the senior was asked about the alleged altercation he lied, sources said. Sources and friends of Turpin said he downplayed and minimized the incident involving his girlfriend. With his likeable personality and giant smile on his small frame, people bought it. No one ever looked into it further. All one had to do was type in his name for a background check and they would have seen that a bench warrant was issued in July by a Las Cruces, New Mexico court on Turpin over a battery charge from the incident, which he denied. These background checks are the same ones athletic departments run on potential recruits before offering a scholarship. The checks are free.

  6. Maybe he'll transfer to FSU and win a Heisman.
  7. "Everybody knows how I handle things like this, anytime we have a situation like this," Patterson said. "We're gathering information, but at this point in time, he probably won't play against Kansas (on Saturday)." https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/big12/2018/10/22/tcu-kavontae-turpin-arrested-suspicion-assaulting-family-member/1727497002/ The Ticket reported this morning Fatterson ignored his arrest / warrant issued earlier for an incident in New Mexico. He has a long history of this from his QBs beating up women, selling drugs, and a few years back when much of his team was running a crime ring. Paging Outside the Lines.
  8. I may not have done a good job explaining my POV, but I do not think we disagree on the substance just maybe the nuance. I think where we disagree is that IMHO in most cases a citizen cannot definitively know whether her rights were violated during the actual course of the interaction with a cop. Absolutely she may feel that way, but without cross-examining the cop, there is really no definitive way to adjudicate whether one's rights were violated. I do not believe a citizen is equipped to do so in that moment, which is why I do not really think being a jackass makes much sense. Of course, I really try not be to a jackass all the time, but I realize many disagree. I think there are other ways post-interaction to adjudicate the violations of one's rights. But hey, if you disagree, no skin off my back -> go be a dick to cops and see how that works out for you. I just would always counsel my children to be polite and respectful and deal with it in the right time and place.
  9. I'm far from an expert. I generally have a couple of assumptions that have served me well: - Regardless of how they act, children want to be told what to do and controlled -> it makes them subconsciously feel safe and secure that the parent is taking care of them and protecting them - You need to lay the foundation early of who is the leader / boss / whatever you want to call it -> they need to learn very early who is in charge and that subconsciously will resonate with them when they are older
  10. Yes! Women > 40 that still have it. Voting solely on hotness is equally substantive intellectually as any post in this thread.
  11. Send them back to SAN! Keep the Raiders out of LAS.

    Uniform Pron

    Aren't the Cowboys also the only team (NFL or NCAA) who have two different shades of its color, home and away?
  13. Just do me a favor ... remember I made you laugh, so please don't spit in my coffee or sneeze on my doughnut. Thanks in advance. Have a great weekend. I hope you don't have to open in the morning.
  14. Horrible way to die - beaten to death, hung on for a few months: Newsweek: Jerry Wolkowitz, the son of Holocaust survivors who was the victim of an alleged racially charged attack, has died after five months on life support On Thursday, the Asbury Park Press reported that Wolkowitz, who did freelance photography for the newspaper for years, passed away at the age of 56 after spending months in a vegetative state. In the weeks leading up to his death, his friends and family took turns visiting him. https://www.newsweek.com/son-holocaust-survivors-dies-months-after-alleged-racially-charged-assault-1177159
  15. Yes, and it is horrible. That cop should be in jail.
  16. Yes because: 1. The person being accosted has no definitive way to accurately ascertain whether her rights were violated (maybe you have a magic way to judge another person's heart or intent -> if so, share as that sounds awesome) 2. Even if one could fiat #1 above, not the time or place to engage (being disrespectful or rude to a cop or anyone because your judging her or making assumptions is usually not helpful in any relationship) (FWIW - I don't hate your or anyone but ousux; I do love the irony you bring to your comments)
  17. Or maybe when dealing with the police I'm not aggressive or an asshole? My wife and her family are dark skinned. None of them ever has had a problem. (absolutes are the hobgoblin of a lazy mind) I don't deny many are pulled over for "driving while black," but much of what happens after that largely is driven by how one interacts with police. (this is true in virtually all relationships) No cloak room, but sometimes nuance is required. (don't be tempted to jump to the "you love cops, hate all non-whites" straw man, which of course is not what I'm implying) Everyone faces injustice, and it is how one responds to that injustice that often determines the ultimate outcome. (no, responding politely does not excuse or promote said injustice) Demanding cops treat citizens with respect and coaching citizens to respect cops are not mutually exclusive. (they're not, now matter what twitter says)
