  1. He was backed into that one. He didn’t want to fire Beard in the first place. I don’t want to hunt for the quote but I don’t think the next coach is going to give two shits if Pierce got fired despite some relatively recent good performance. It’s too storied a program, too much money, too much potential-someone great will happily take that on.

    Texas Primaries

    It’s actually not that hard to understand-there are tons of folks with money besides a couple of oil billionaires and that live in Texas. Unfortunately, they don’t appear to be invested in running the state with the exception of Charles Butt.

    I’m not ready to be glass half full on anything but usually the more extreme the GOP gets, the more appealing a Democratic candidate might be. It probably has to happen this way to get to the other side.

    He was targeted by Red money because he sucks and Dem money won’t be spent to oust a Democratic incumbent. If you wanted to see a change in the policing of downtown this would have been a great way to encourage that.

    Texas Primaries

    The Chronicle is consistent in its support for leftist candidates that check the racial/gender/LGBTQ regardless of resume weakness in other areas. It’s particularly galling when they endorse an incumbent who has shown to be ineffective.

    Texas Primaries

    As tempting as it might have been to vote against Ted Cruz I went ahead and voted in the Dem primary. Time for a new DA in Travis County.
  7. This may be stale data but about 30% of houses are going above list. I kind of expect that percentage to be higher going forward. I’ve got two borrowers that went under contract in the last week and both were above list (in Austin). Someone else’s opinion but he thinks the $1m-$1.4m are sitting longer-kind of a dead zone as jumbo lenders have gotten out of the market or underwriting requirements gotten steeper, and a lot of those buyers are in tech and a lot more cautious in light of recent layoffs.

    After reading today’s NY Times article I’m intrigued to see Phelan’s race results. One quote stood out:

    Mind summarizing for those of us not on Twitter?
  10. Wow, I knew he looked familiar. He’s perfect for the character. Also, I’m sure it’s partly makeup but it also looks like his deal with Jacob finally lapsed because he held off aging forever.
  11. I think someone among the GOP elites has decided “you know what, we should do school like Louisiana. Those Cajuns got it figured out!”
  12. I’m a little disappointed this thread isn’t seeing more activity-bring on the Jalen Green abuse.
  13. I’m skeptical it was serious in the first place, rather it was floated in the press to see how the market would react.
  14. I tend to think ignorance is more likely than nefarious intentions.
  15. He’s been in quite a few international productions-if you want to sample one of his Japanese films besides Ringu check out “The Twilight Samurai”. It’s not an adaptation of Unforgiven but repeats some of the same themes. I’m sure comparisons to The Last Samurai were bound to come up-when I read the Shogun I had Ken Watanabe in my head as Toranaga. Sanada plays everything so internally.
  16. The last time I stayed at Zaza it was cougar town. Should be great people watching for the kids-“Daddy, why does that woman’s face not move when she smiles?”
  17. Your points still stands, but picking two obvious abusers of the system like USC and Georgia makes it sounds like you’re trying to undermine your own argument. Neither Georgia or USC is “cleanish”, frankly OU during the Stoops era is a better comparison to UT (although theirs I think is accidental-they’ve been chasing university prestige and don’t have institutional support for the bag game, particularly after Stoops won a championship with Blake’s players).

    Burgers

    I guess “ancient culinary techniques” includes serving raw bacon.
  19. I’ve been watching it along with the kids-it’s doing a great job, by comparison, of displaying just how wonderful the original version is. Also, I’m sure it would be weird to ask Paul Sun-Hyung Lee to feign an Asian accent but Uncle Iroh without it just sounds off.
  20. @956 Worldwide is bringing it today. I feel like I need more coffee.
  21. I really like Ezra Klein but this might be his worst idea ever. I’m happy to cede the “excitement” award to the ejaculatory mongoloids exiting the GOP convention. Give me sober and stable as long as that candidate can secure the electoral college.
  22. The, I think, Variety review said she’s a highlight in this. In agreement that after Godzilla I am a little skeptical.
  23. I unsubscribed to Barry yesterday. It’s cleansing.
