  1. The argument that the news media are swayed by being parts of conglomerates is carried at last. Wouldn't it be nice to know you put up a fight before going down? Yea, but you didn't.
  2. I thought it was because a majority of American voters made their preference for lying, grifting, raping, racist, treasonous haters of the principles that once sustained our republic clearly known. They did so with clear vision. A huge number did so believing they were urged if not commanded to do so by God Himself. But it was the deck chairs all along. CNN and the NYT and NPR's analysts do know what they're talking about. Younger leaders of the Democratic Party would have made all the difference. It's the trees not the forest! I.W.
  3. So all the culture stuff is just bullshit to the hard realist who knows the ways of the world.
  4. This is my hall pass, bitch.
  5. This is why we must control them. Totally. Applaud. This is kind of a handy new term. It can describe either the age of the shooter or the targets of the shooter or both. Next year's word of the year!
  6. The fate of the best-known Messiah awaits every A&M QB since the ascension of Holy Bucky. Instead of a tomb with a big rock, they are lain in the increasingly crowded space beneath a bus. It is unknown if they are positioned to face the dead dog scoreboard.
  7. To be fair, he never says elite at what. Only one school has Meat Pimp.
  8. William laying it out. Thanks, as always, @Longhornfrenzy Getting that CB upgrade. Great stuff! Gotta take the good with the bad when you're hitting the portal hard late in the second quarter. Oh, wait, there's more to the story of Humphrey and A&M. S.O.B. ditched us a year ago! To stay at Georgia! WTF? [The parrots get restless. How are we supposed to feel?] No worries. William to the rescue with impeccable reasoning: You see, the guy loved A&M coming out of high school. The recruitment must have been very close. What? No visit to College Station? Well, then, there must have been a lot of predictions for A&M if Humphrey wanted to wear the Maroon and White. Nope. William, you sure about this guy's commitment to the dear old Texas Aggies? Jilted you twice for Georgia and only came your way when he lost his starting role. This one of those, from the inside you can't explain it things? I guess it's enough for the parrots.

    It's the American Way! On another front, I still hear nothing about Christian Nationalism on NPR when the professors and geniuses are only interested in discussing the small percentage of voters who switched to Trump. It's a forest for the trees world out there. Christian Nationalists hate gays and strong women making their own choices. The movement has turned women against women tapping into very Christ-like fear and hate. And just about no discussion of this tidal force in US politics. Christian hate is way outside the lazy template of an increasingly timid Fourth Estate. We'll see if they catch on when states, likely led by Texas, pass laws forbidding suspected homosexuals from teaching in public schools or working in pediatrics.
  10. And we're the insufferably arrogant ones. No ranked team sees A&M as above them. I'm sure Bowling Green (senior laden, ya know) was pretty impressed with the Aggies. Other schools? Not so much.
  11. I think that's in the hands of the players to start an auction. Texas being quiet doesn't prevent their agents from testing the waters. Maybe Sark just doesn't want the circus element.
  12. Is it as big a deal as Pool Party?
  13. I've listened to our award winners and some other Longhorns the last few days. I don't hear them speak much because player interviews usually bore me. You can hear the higher GPA when these guys express themselves. I recall a reporter noting the difference in Longhorn player performance in press interviews versus USC's players back in 2005. I've always liked, since the DKR days when I first recall Texas football, how our players present as smiling and mature in their team photos. Not all of the players have been models of the way young men should be, but a lot of guys from here are good sorts. I'm avoiding the "well-spoken" trap as best I can. I did have an unconscious prejudice in expectation of what Black athletes might sound like long ago. I've been internally embarrassed to have had to root it out as I heard and was around more Black people. Avery Johnson of the Spurs looked like a thug to me. What an idiot I can be. Anyway, I like being proud of our guys beyond on-field performance. For every Erxleben there are many guys like Earl or Ricky or Taaffe or Huff or Colt. It adds to the pleasure of being a Longhorn when we're winning. Lastly, I don't claim that we're the only team that has such players. I'm glad that we're one of them is all.
  14. It was the freeze frame on google. It's what drew my attention. Such genius. These cartoons worked brilliantly on the big screen back in the old days when they showed cartoons before the feature.
  15. Oh, William. The long rollercoaster ride awaited. As did the result.
  16. linux redux (no grudge for linux)
  17. I don't have any great knowledge of what's going on with other teams, but it appears USCe is for real. I think it's nearer a sure loss unless South Carolina is decimated by the portal and graduation. Of course, they won't face the grind of facing the Bowling Green Seniors this year. Some of those SEC away games might be at night.
  18. Same time. Same places. Same record.
  19. Learning your value on the market can open one's eyes to one's overestimation of oneself. The lesson: you gotta get to work, son.
  20. See, their class is as good as ours! Well, almost.
  21. I'm reminded of the term, Slocum's Razor.
