  1. See my comment above. It’s not Texas specific. College vs nfl responsibilities.
  2. My comment wasn’t based on some random internet gossip. I know for a fact, personally, that there are some responsibilities with the job that present a challenge for both cdc and sark. I have no idea whether these are tiny issues or something bigger. And I’m certainly not saying it’s unique to Texas. My comment was in the vain of dealing with college vs the NFL, not that Texas has more meddling boosters than other schools.
  3. So in the other thread I predicted Sark was gone in 2027 for just not being good enough to get from good teams to great teams. However, this is not the best news. The best news would have been Sark realizing he needed to change his offense, and doing it. Then helping Manning to a Heisman in 2026 and Texas to a title. This news, if true, means he’s sick of the college bullshit and the Texas interfering boosters. Arch will likely transfer, and yet again Texas will have to rebuild trust with coaches, recruits, and players. It sucks because the talent on the team, besides OL was good enough to win it all.
  4. When Freeman was hired I thought he was going to be fantastic. And in some ways I like how Notre Dame plays. But something is missing with his teams. Their offense struggles too.
  5. D B Easy by dbeasy A month ago I was sitting around the house minding my own business, listening to the same old songs I’ve listened to for years, and the few new songs that get spoon fed to me by Spotify, Sirius, and the radio, when I had a thought, what if I made a concerted effort to find lesser known new songs, and what if I invited my age old friends to do it with me, because after all they were stuck in the same old rut as me, so a two week text thread ensued where a growing group of old guys, and a girl, loaded my shared Spotify playlist with three songs each that they really liked, that weren’t huge hits and were introduced in 2024 or more recently, we then all listened to them and voted on our Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal favorites, I gave out several awards for songs and contributions, and we had a great time, and all found many new songs and groups that we love, far beyond the marketing machines of the music industry, so I highly recommend you try it too with your friends.

  6. Thank you Luka, for cementing Nico as the person making the worst trade in sports history.
  7. Didn’t pay attention to the spurs last year. Castle is the real deal.
  8. I will never get over the worst trade in organized sports history.
  9. I’m not giving him props for shit. His name is one letter away from Penis.
  10. The guy changing my tire might be named Tim Beck. What do I do? Slap him?
  11. I have appropriately low expectations, because the talent is limited. However, I think the coaching improvement will be better than many of us are expecting. Or, by definition do I actually have higher expectations because I’ve predicted results better than my expectations? Oh no, I’ve gone cross-eyed.
  12. I’d like to hear more about these tire factories. I’m intrigued.
  13. Note that I’m talking about flipping a very small number of people. Some/most of the magas are hopeless. I don’t even try with those morons.
  14. There is one thing I forgot to mention about my strategy of winning over one friend at a time to be aware of Trump’s and the Republican’s shittiness. The whole idea originated from my success in flipping one guy who hung out closely with the other maga/conservative supporters in our group. He had mentioned one thing to me year ago where he was confused about some stupid thing Trump had done. I used that as an opportunity to open a conversation. However, I didn’t bombard him with thoughts, information and data. Instead I just provided a few key comments. And then over time I would maybe send him something here or there that was related to what we discussed. It took about six months, but by the end of he had had completely flipped. He now is trying to flip one of our other guys, his best friend. I’m cautiously optimistic that between him and I we will have this guy flipped by January. And there’s one other interesting side note. I knew nothing about Trump in 2015 when he ran for president. Being an independent, I liked the idea of a “business man” being in the White House. However, surly cloak room folks flipped me by well before Election Day, so that I didn’t vote for him. So surly flipped me in about 6 months too. One sad note from that time, even though I had flipped I remember after the election I still expressed hope that maybe all of his craziness would calm down now that he was president. Silly me. You can flip one person in six months. Do it.
  15. Between the asshats that own the Maverick’s now, and Nico’s legendary dumb ass trade, my small affinity for the Mavericks from living in Dallas is gone. GSG.
  16. is there going to be a watching party on saturday?
  17. By the way, Sark continues to be one of only a few OC's that usually does not cover his mouth while calling the play. Sometimes he does, but then it looks like he forgets. He really didn't cover up against Kentucky. Can teams discern the call? After seeing the special on the Michigan cheating scandel, it wouldn't suprise me one bit. They were reading lips and conveying it to the defense for call adjustments, all within 3 seconds. edit: whoops. He didn't cover up.

    Tex Mex

    I still hit about every six months, primarily for nostalgia reasons.

    Tex Mex

    I’m headed to El Patio this week to eat with a friend I haven’t eaten there with since 1983. Now that’s nostalgia. He just moved back to the US and that was his first TexMex request. Haha.
  20. My informal poll of how often republicans show up on news stories vs democrats indicates about a 10:1 advantage for republicans. Given republicans control the presidency and congress, there certainly should be an advantage. But 10:1? The main constituency that is supposed to keep politicians from creating dictatorial control of the US is almost completely silent. The people at least are doing something, like the No Kings protests. But most Democrat politicians and the party? Worthless. This shutdown is the perfect example. Democrats should be hammering this over and over on the news. As a side note, I personally don’t like how the democrats have tackled the aca subsidies issue at all. But that’s a different discussion.
  21. Can you talk some more about this? Amidst all of these worthless posts you’ve actually posted something that may have some value.
  22. Losing Taaffe is a killer
  23. I use exclusively chicken.
  24. I am hoping so so hard that Texas goes undefeated from here on out and makes the playoffs, so people have to come back on here and eat a serious amount of crow, me included.
  25. Ok, but we don’t want the Irish.
