  1. Yeah, petechiae on the roof of the mouth is probably from rough oral sex.
  2. Hopefully, we bring the pain to Texas Tech, like @SydneyCarton brings to his kids by denying them Fruit Loops at breakfast time.
  3. But, the guy was walking across the freeway at night, right? Or no cameras?
  4. I was reading the bio of the mayor, and you would think that he would be on top of things. https://www.jacksonms.gov/contacts/chokwe-antar-lumumba/
  5. Are you talking about the Douglas Aircraft, DC3?
  6. That sounds like a huge problem - with Hank South's vocabulary.
  7. Definitely. Was there anything in the article? You would think that it would be mentioned.
  8. This thread seems pretty cloaky - black victim, black city council, mayor, and chief of police, no evidence of racism, no delving into the incompetence of the city of Jackson, lots of accusations...
  9. Well, I was hoping to hear other TSA horror stories, but it's shaggy, so I should have known better. What else can I do besides vent, though? Most of the cost is anesthesiology and less-essential personnel. Another portion is patients who can't be rescheduled for various reasons. Anesthesiology may end up being recoverable but they would be under no obligation. Just totally unacceptable for TSA to go through every medical instrument and question things like forceps - "What's this used for?" - Bend over and I'll show you, motherfucker. We need to kick Iowa State's ass. I can't deal with last minute shit, tonight. I'm just not in the mood.
  10. Damn, lots of TSA lovers on this site.
  11. They also ran a heart rate monitor through 4 times. Hard to tell if the guy was purposely being a dick or was just that dumb. But considering that he was wasting time joking with his colleagues, I'm going with dick.
  12. All of the US vaccines that are commercially available target the spike protein of the coronavirus. The newest vaccines only differ in being targeted against the newer strains. Thus, you will get better protection against the current strains with the newest vaccines. The original virus has probably died out and is not even in circulation anymore.
  13. TSA held us up over an hour going through medical bags. We couldn't get in touch with the gate and the flight closed the doors without us. As far as I know, there is no punishment, compensation, or recourse to TSA fucking us over. It will cost us over $10,000 in non-recoverable losses.
  14. Our business hours are in the UPS system, but UPS continues to ignore them. I had UPS try 4 days straight to deliver to my business later than 8:30PM. On the last day, I called UPS who guaranteed delivery on the following Monday morning. The packages arrived as I was walking to my car at 7:00PM.
  15. Forgetting weight, dupixent by drone might be fine. I'm not so sure about fentanyl, though.
  16. Nobody could say I was at fault either. We were eating dinner as a family when it happened. Their insurance still refused to pay. I sent texts to my insurance company where she admitted her son was at fault and still they refused to pay.
  17. Yeah, I think the conversations went something like this: What about Shanahan? Yeah, he would be great, but he isn't going to take the job. But, I do think reporters kept asking Shanahan and Shanahan did release a statement similar to Campbell's: Former Texas football transfer and San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan reportedly doesn’t want to coach in college. The conversation surrounding where the Texas football program can take its coaching search as they approach the 2021 offseason is coming to a head right now. Texas still has fourth-year head coach Tom Herman around heading into a game this weekend against the Kansas State Wildcats on the road in Manhattan. Herman and the Longhorns kick off against Kansas State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Dec. 5 at 11 a.m. CT. But as Texas approaches this key showdown against Kansas State, which could have bowl game positioning on the line for both teams, most of the focus is surrounding the recruiting trail and potential coaching search. Texas also lost a good number of key players to opt outs/transfers this week. The Longhorns are now down junior running back Keaontay Ingram, redshirt junior offensive tackle Sam Cosmi, and junior safety Caden Sterns. So what can Herman do from here so solidify job security? It’s hard to tell. If he is replaced heading into next offseason, the common name that is being discussed of late is former Ohio State Buckeyes and Florida Gators three-time National Championship winning head coach Urban Meyer. But if Texas can’t get Meyer, then they’ll have to look elsewhere if the plan is to replace Herman no matter what. One name that was brought about on my list of potential Herman coaching replacements is the Texas Ex and current San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. That name was thrown around a little bit in this potential coaching candidate conversation, but he reportedly (per Horns247 piece, paid content) “isn’t interested” in coaching at the college ranks right now. Shanahan led the 49ers to the Super Bowl last season, which eventually led to a loss to superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. He would be a home run hire if the Longhorns could land him, but it doesn’t appear that is a possibility right now. He is willing apparently to make a recommendation for other coaching candidates, namely among those on his staff with the 49ers at the moment. But that might not do all that much to help Texas athletic director Chris del Conte make a decision in the near future. Herman and the Longhorns hold a record of 5-3 (4-3 Big 12), following their disappointing loss to head coach Matt Campbell and the No. 13 ranked Iowa State Cyclones last week (on Black Friday/Senior Day). Texas lost to Iowa State by the final score of 23-20.
  18. We park on the street a lot because our house is on a hill, we have kids who drive, our garage has too much shit in it, and our garage is too small in that the builder didn't account for lost space due to the hill. So a neighbor down the street pulled out of our next door neighbor's driveway and hit our car parked across the street. They admitted to the accident and asked me to not say that her son was driving because he had a learners permit and it would mess him over. I called my insurance company and filed a claim without placing blame on the student driver. She wouldn't take the insurance company's calls and her insurance company declined to pay. I had multiple texts where she admitted fault and where she said her son was driving. Still, her insurance company refused to pay. So, the case then went to some sort of arbitrator between insurance companies, and the arbitrator found in favor of us and her insurance company was forced to pay. It was a pain in the ass. I will never again help someone by not disclosing every bit of information that I know. Until the end, it seemed like I was going to have to go to court (small claims in this case), And fuck insurance companies except for mine (USAA).
  19. Who could replace Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M? Texas A&M made a big bet on Jimbo Fisher, and the former Florida State coach proved to be an enormous dud for the Aggies, costing them almost $80 million to get rid of him after six massively underwhelming seasons. Fisher had one good season in six years, in the COVID-19 season of 2020. He landed a lot of huge recruits, but the losses kept coming. His team hasn’t won a road game in more than two years. The school paid a fortune for a coach who produced one top-15 season, and in four of his seasons, his teams didn’t even make the AP Top 25 and couldn’t even get bowl-eligible last year. As a source told The Athletic earlier this season, “It’s Year 6. What is Fisher going to do now that’ll convince anyone at this point that he can lead them to a national title? What’s another 8-4 gonna prove?” Fisher did win a national title at FSU, but he left that program in disarray before bolting to A&M. Still, he was a splashy hire for then-athletic director Scott Woodward, and now the Aggies are searching for another coaching savior for a proud program that hasn’t won anything since World War II. A&M has had two top-five finishes in the past 67 years: one under Kevin Sumlin in his debut season and one under Fisher in his third year, and both of those coaches fizzled out before getting fired. Talking to industry sources, there doesn’t appear to be as splashy an option this time around for A&M to throw money at. Texas A&M has had two top-five finishes in the past 67 years. (Jerome Miron / USA Today) Power 5 head coaches Kansas’ Lance Leipold is expected to be high on A&M’s list. What he has done at Kansas has been truly remarkable. Kansas was the bleakest program in college football that hadn’t won more than three games in a season in 11 years, and by his second year on the job, Leipold had it in the top 20. The 59-year-old from Wisconsin, who won six Division III national titles at Wisconsin-Whitewater before transforming Buffalo into a Top-25 team, knows how to build a program and develop a winning culture. The Jayhawks are 7-3 despite playing much of this season without star QB Jalon Daniels. They beat then-No. 6 Oklahoma for the first time in 26 years and defeated a top-10 team for the first time in 15 years. We know Michigan State would love to have him for its vacancy, but we wouldn’t be surprised if A&M makes a big run at him as he has a much longer track record as a head coach than some other coaches the Aggies are gonna be intrigued by. Former Fisher assistant Mike Elko was highly regarded in his four seasons running a ferocious defense in College Station. The 46-year-old from New Jersey left to take over the Duke program, where he has been superb, going 9-4 in his debut season. Elko and his Blue Devils built on that momentum by whipping then-No. 9 Clemson 28-7 in the opener this season. This year, they’re 6-4 with all four losses coming against ranked opponents, and they have had to manage with standout QB Riley Leonard being banged up. People inside the sport have been impressed by Elko, who knows he already has overachieved at Duke. His sample size as a head coach isn’t long, but he will get a lot of consideration for this job, as he will for Michigan State … if he thinks it’s a good time to leave Durham. Similar to Leipold, Kansas State’s Chris Klieman is a proven winner who won a bunch of national titles at a lower division — winning four FCS titles at North Dakota State, and like Leipold, he and his staff are respected by other coaches who think their players are always well-coached. Last year, the 56-year-old Klieman led K-State to the Big 12 title, going 10-4. It’s 7-3 this year, including an overtime loss at Texas. Klieman has a good situation at K-State working for an AD he worked with previously. We think he’ll be in the mix, and his stock could surge if the Cats can finish the season with a flourish as they play Kansas in Lawrence next. Oregon State’s Jonathan Smith has been one of the best-kept secrets on the West Coast for a while since pumping life back into his alma mater’s program. The former star quarterback went 2-10 after inheriting a dismal situation in Corvallis in the wake of the Gary Andersen tenure, but Smith and his staff poured into this program and laid a foundation. By Year 4 in 2021, the Beavers went 7-6. Then, last year, they broke out, going 10-3, and they’ve kept elevating this group despite massive conference chaos in the Pac-12, where the Beavers are getting left out in the cold. They’re 8-2 this year with wins over two top-20 opponents, including a dominant showing against then-No. 10 Utah. Smith is on Michigan State’s radar, and as highly as he’s thought of as a coach, we do wonder if the southern California native would seem like a fit at A&M or even would be tempted to jump into this situation. Smith and his team are going to be in the national spotlight in a big way the next two weeks as they face undefeated No. 5 Washington next and then finish the regular season against their archrival, No. 6 Oregon. Smith will face competition from two other Pac-12 coaches who each have gotten hot since last year. In Oregon’s Dan Lanning, you have someone who has coached in the SEC from his time at Alabama and Georgia. The 37-year-old from Missouri has been killing it in Eugene and has a legitimate national title contender there. The Ducks are 19-4 since he took over and 9-1 this year with a close loss at Washington. We hear he likes it up there. His buyout is also pretty big at $20 million, although not that big by A&M standards, it would seem. We definitely could see A&M wanting Lanning. The timing might not be great here for A&M. Would it be more tempting for him to keep building on what he has at Oregon a little while longer and know he could be in a good spot when Nick Saban ultimately decides he’s done coaching at Alabama if he wants to run a big SEC program? Washington’s Kalen DeBoer, 49, doesn’t have SEC roots, but people inside the sport know he probably could win anywhere. Washington was reeling when he was hired from Fresno State, and he took a 4-8 team and promptly led it to an 11-2 season. The Huskies only have picked up speed since then, going 10-0 this season. DeBoer developed as a coach outside the shadows of major college football and won three NAIA national titles at Sioux Falls, going 67-3. Overall, he’s 100-11 as a head coach. He’s setting down some strong roots in Seattle, but the AD who hired him, Jen Cohen, left a few months ago to run USC. DeBoer’s situation might be somewhat similar to Lanning’s in that the prospect of the Alabama job after Saban could be a consideration long-term if DeBoer has any temptation to make a move to a program with even bigger resources. Florida State’s Mike Norvell is another coach who has a team in the national title mix. The Texas native did the heavy lifting to clean up a mess in Tallahassee that first started to decay at the end of Fisher’s run there. Norvell has been masterful in working the transfer portal and overhauling this program. The Seminoles are 20-3 during the past two years. A&M has more money and resources than FSU, but that move to College Station didn’t work out well for Fisher. If the Aggies make a run at Norvell, does he stay on the fact that coaches have won a lot bigger at FSU than A&M? Group of 5 head coaches Two Group of 5 coaches who might get some consideration here are UTSA’s Jeff Traylor and Troy’s Jon Sumrall. The 55-year-old Traylor won a bunch of state titles as a Texas high school coach and is beloved there. We could see him getting some traction at a big Texas college. He has done well in San Antonio, going 29-8 the past three years, but we do wonder if Texas A&M brass will think he’s a big enough name to compete with Saban and Kirby Smart. The 41-year-old Sumrall has been awesome at Troy. He’s 20-4, including last year’s 12-2 debut and top-20 finish at a place that had been struggling. He’s a terrific recruiter and has a great ability to connect with people and a commanding presence. We believe the former Ole Miss and Kentucky assistant will be a big-time SEC head coach before too long. Sumrall was at Ole Miss, by the way, when A&M AD Ross Bjork ran the Rebels’ program. The wild card There is one big wild-card wish candidate for the Aggies. Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is one of their own. The 47-year-old Texas native played at A&M. Campbell epitomizes everything we suspect the school would want in a head coach, and if you’ve watched any clips of him in front of his team, you’ll see why. He has jumped into what was an abysmal franchise and has that city thinking there’s finally a Super Bowl in its future. The Lions went 9-8 last year and are off to a 6-2 start this season. Could A&M lure him home despite all that he has done and is doing in Detroit, getting all the buy-in he has gotten? It would seem doubtful that he’d walk away from all that. As one source said Sunday morning, “The timing for him (with A&M) is horrible.” The Aggies need to be ramping up their search now. He has a team rolling toward a playoff run.

  20. Wow, I thought we were going to see a downturn in the program. I'm glad to see I was wrong.
  21. I looked up Adam Cushing. Adam Cushing is an American college football coach. He is currently the offensive line coach at Duke University. Cushing served as the head football coach at Eastern Illinois University from 2019 to 2021, compiling a record of 3–26. A native of Chicago, Cushing played college football at the University of Chicago
  22. I don't know. I'm thinking username does check out since it should be Degenerate Gardner Gardener if spelling and grammar were things.
