  1. Who the fuck is SFU? Get that aggy shit outa here.
  2. He seems to have learned a valuable lesson the last time he tried to go against Texas.
  3. Schlossnagle is such a fitting name for an aggy
  4. This is an extremely rational and reasonable response. I think you and I would get along just fine in real life, because we appear to think the same way. I'm also capable of seeing the good and the bad on both sides of the aisle. I've just been playing Devil's advocate in this one conversation. The problem is; the majority of our country don't think that way. Too many people see everything as Left=good, Right=bad or vice versa. Just because a few of us would have been able to approach this thing rationally regardless of who the president was, doesn't mean the vast majority of the country would have.
  5. If you hate him so much, it seems weird that you'd rather take medical advice from him than a doctor. But hey man, you do you.
  6. I think you're completely missing my point. I'm not "assuming Trump would automatically push back on whatever Fauci's advice was". I'm saying we know Fauci started off by telling everyone not to wear masks. That's a verifiable fact. I am adding the hypothetical situation of Trump telling everyone to wear masks at that time, because everyone that blames Trump for the 600k dead has said that he should have pushed masks from the beginning. So my point is; had Trump pushed masks from the beginning, he would have been going against what Fauci was saying, and most people would have told him to fuck off with his mask mandates. Everyone that was already convinced he wanted to be a dictator would have had a field day with him trying to force everyone to wear face masks while Dr. Fauci was telling us we didn't need to. Thus proving my point that no matter who was in charge at the very beginning of this whole thing; it was never going to go well in America because of how passionate we all are about who we want to listen to. The funny thing is; none of my posts on this topic have been controversial. I've never dogged the left or the right. I've just stated that the polarization of this country was always going to prevent us from handling this pandemic as well as some other countries. The fact that I've gotten pushback on that idea is actually doing nothing but further proving my point.
  7. You would have started wearing a mask because Trump told you to while Dr. Fauci was telling you not to?
  8. Do you care to elaborate? Do you REALLY think that if Trump had suggested a mask mandate at the same time that Dr. Fauci literally said "You don't need to wear a face mask. It won't protect you from this virus", that everyone on both sides of the aisle would have sided with Trump on that one?
  9. Fair point, but I just think that's an impossible scenario. The majority of the country is too set into their ways (as far as left vs right is concerned). As I mentioned before in a different post, if Trump had come out super early and suggested the lockdowns and mask mandates, every democratic leader would have used that to further push their point that Trump wanted to be a ruthless dictator.
  10. Man, I just don't know if I agree with that. I can't flat-out say you're wrong, because there's no way to know what would have happened in a hypothetical situation. But I have a hard time believing that Hillary supporters would have been accepting of Trump coming out and saying "Look, I know there are only 6 active cases of this virus in our country right now, but if we don't lock everything down and start wearing face masks when we step out into public, over half a million people are going to die!". I have a feeling most people on the left would have said "See?! I told you he was Hitler!".
  11. I'm no Trump-apologist, but I'll play Devil's advocate here: Many of you have stated that Trump should have pushed for mask mandates, lockdowns, contact tracing, etc. immediately in February 2020 when the virus first emerged and he found out how bad it could possibly get. I won't argue with any of that; because hindsight is 20/20, and hindsight tells us that had we done all of those things back in February 2020, many lives probably would have been saved. So now let's pretend Trump lost the 2016 election and Hillary was in charge back in February 2020. For the sake of the argument, let's say as soon as Hillary found out about the virus in February 2020, she did the "right thing" and came out and said that we shouldn't leave our houses unless it was absolutely necessary and that we should all wear masks if we did absolutely have to go out into public, etc. etc. Does anyone here really think the vast majority of Americans would have just abided by all of those things? Seriously. Close 600k Americans have died of Covid as of today, and there's still a huge chunk of our population that refuses to wear a facemask. There's no way people were going to wear them back when there were only a handful of active cases in the country, regardless of who was telling them to do it. The reality is; no matter who was in charge when this whole thing first started you were going to have half the U.S. population wanting to do what the president said, and you were going to have the other half the population saying "SEE?! That's why I didn't vote for this crazy fucker!" Sure, the person that was actually in charge when this whole thing started could have done many things better and more efficiently, but the bottom line is that the American people were never going to handle this thing as well as some other countries. I think we can all probably agree on that.
  12. The frequency with which apostrophes get misused these days infuriates me. Maybe I'm just being ridiculous, but I feel like the rules really aren't that difficult to remember, and any functioning adult with a brain should be able to get them right. In general: You do not use an apostrophe to make a word plural. You wouldn't say "I have two basketball's", so why the hell would you say "We need pic's"? Another common example is when people say "I hate Monday's" or "Merry Christmas from the Smith's!!" Also, only plural words that end with an S should be made possessive by adding an apostrophe with no S at the end. Texas is not a plural word, so the possessive form of Texas is not Texas'. It is Texas's. /rant
  13. That's been my first thought every time I've seen one of those pictures. "How the fuck do you plan on getting that into your car's tank?"
  14. My favorite one was the story he told about crashing his bike into a lady just because she didn't hear him coming up behind her and move out of his way. Very strange.
  15. He was called a Neanderthal for removing the restrictions, and many predicted that cases/hospitalizations/deaths would skyrocket because of his actions. He's defending himself by pointing out that those people were wrong.
  16. Your analysis of his analysis is horseshit. Lebron's original tweet was incredibly irresponsible, and he should have just said "Hey, I was wrong to post that earlier so I took it down. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions before gathering the facts." But he's too much of a narcissist to just admit he was wrong.
  17. One of my best friends went to West Virginia, and I can guarantee you those fuckers consider us their biggest game every year in every sport. They hate Pitt more than they hate us, but they get more excited to play us.
  18. He's hiring regarded coaches to fill his staff? Looks like we dodged a bullet there, fellas.
  19. This is one thing that always infuriated me about Herman. I never once saw him chewing someone's ass on the sideline after a bonehead play and/or penalty. You can't expect those kinds of mistakes to stop happening if the players aren't scared of what might happen if they do something stupid.
  20. He lost me forever when he made and posted a video trying to portray his time as a Texas athlete as a miserable experience.
  21. Can you not read? I literally mentioned two of his accomplishments as OU's DC (National title, Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama). But thanks for asking, I guess.
