  1. "The center would also supply preventive vaccine for pandemic influenza, and, once it’s up and running, will be able to supply 50 million vaccine doses within four months of receiving a strain of the flu, with initial doses ready in 12 weeks." Dear Santa, This year for Christmas, all I want for myself is for aggy to win out and then be explicitly told the reason they lost out on their (once in a lifetime) shot at a CFP slot was because of the games they couldn't play due to the flu pandemic. $300 million+ given to them for a "game-changer" vaccine facility they promised would "supply 50 million vaccine doses within four months of receiving a strain of the flu, with initial doses ready in 12 weeks" and seven years later their failure comes back to bite themselves in the ass (although I am sure they will appeal to the CFP committee claiming "sovereign immunity." You know, turdition). The only thing better would be if somehow someone was able to substantiate the "lost" money from the vaccine facility was funneled into the Kyle Field project. And Santa, for the people of Texas at Christmas this year, I want something better for them than Texas A&M. Because the people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M. Your friend, Randolph Duke
  2. or: c) serious long-term health health problem that changes career track, d) economic shifts affecting multiple industries, or e) ....., or f)..... The other side of the morality filter has to be the irresponsibility of lenders making federally guaranteed loans to with no reason whatsoever to believe the loans could ever be repaid. Applying morality to economics usually distorts the economics. Exactly why the default occurred has nothing to do with the economic logic of discharging the debt. Bankruptcy courts don't apply morality filters on debtors. The economics of bankruptcy are based on assets vs debts. Either there is a collective benefit to discharging defaulted (or even current) student debt, or there isn't. If there is, do it. If there isn't, don't. If laws were broken, then let the legal system address those issues. We need to leave morality out of the equation.
  3. Even better, this year we have absolutely no interest in the outcome when both OU and Okie Light are fighting for their chance to win the conference. Having to pull for either of these schools to advance UT's chance at the conference title, even in the least meaningful way, is an unpleasantness I'm happy not to have to worry about.
  4. Nope. Not going to shut up. Welcome to the fun that Urban Meyer will bring to UT football. You can't have one without the other. And if you can't take this level of heat from one of the alumni, you are way to delicate of a flower to handle the mountain of shit that will be dumped on the UT Austin campus when "your savior" arrives. The first few gusts of odious stench from "Hurricane Urban" start wafting through campus and you are already having fits trying to handle it. Good luck with the recruiting under "St. Urban the Innocent" when even the alumni are telling recruits to stay the Hell away from UT football. And kid who agrees to play for Urban should immediately be ridiculed as being a scumbag. Decent people see what Urban Meyer is about. Not as easy being a scumbag program as you thought it was going to be, is it?
  5. "You people" want to have a pure scumbag program but you can't even handle the heckling and mocking from your own alumni. You aren't going to fare well when Baylor fans (rightfully) start relentlessly mocking the program for hiring a bigger piece of human shit than Art Briles as head coach. Or even the worst of the S!E!C! fans start (rightfully) laughing hysterically if even being pure scum can't get the program past TCU or OU. If you want to drive the program into the depths of the sewer and just be a scumbag program, you have to learn to take the heat that comes with that decision. Toughen up, kids, because if you get what you want, relentless mocking and ridicule from the alumni is just the start of a long, disgusting chapter of Ut athletics and the blame will be on those ho insisted there was no other way UT could ever possibly beat TCU or OU in football expect to be scumbags. TCU didn't have to become a scumbag program to kick the shit out of UT on a constant basis. They put their minds to the task, hired CDC to play the long game, and as you guys see it, completely broke UT athletics and left the Longhorn program with no option other than to go completely scumbag. How could TCU so outplay UT? If only UT could do something like hire CDC to play the long game and not have to go scumbag. I guess we have to bow to our Horned Frog intellectual overlords. We get to mock you now for having such small-minded thinking. We get to mock you continuously because your wrong-headed thinking. Anyone who embraces Urban Meyer, his ethics, or his lack of leadership deserves everything thrown their way. It's a package deal.Get used to how scumbags get treated. it's what you want, isn't it? Hiring Urban Meyer would be highly divisive and cause immense dissension among the alumni. Get used to the infighting and internal disputes. It's what you want, isn't it? When you take Urban, all the baggage that comes with him. Get used to being mocked relentlessly. There is a way to do this without the stench of Urban Meyer permeating the UT Austin campus. The rest of us shouldn't be limited by your inability to solve this problem the right way.
  6. I’m pretty sure my kids aren’t selling ADD meds on campus. And some us said back then going scumbag wasn’t worth it. Sometimes, no matter how much you insist going scumbag is the only way to beat TCU or OU, it isn’t worth the cost. Hence, the reason some of us are (yet again) saying going scumbag by hiring Urban Meyer isn’t worth it. Im just trying to get the scumbag contingent to explain how much of a scumbag program that doesn’t win is enough. Herman went scumbag and didn’t win enough against TCU or OU. When is enough for the scumbags to admit going scumbag isn’t a guarantee of success or isn’t worth it?
  7. Maybe the best way for the UT administration to repay the people of Texas for the extreme financial largess given UT Austin is to find a solution to the "student-athlete" conundrum other than to insist the only way is to become an ethical scumbag. Because far more student athletes at UT will be part of the Texas economy than "get to the next level." UT evidently produces more than enough people who have questionable ethics. Maybe we can use it as a recruiting advantage to explain to parents their kids will be taught more than to sacrifice their ethics for such life changing experiences as beating TCU and OU in football.
  8. No, you don't get my point. Let me help you. My point is we followed you when "you people" insisted we needed to look the other way and allow a rape enabler and drug felon on campus. The "scumbag program" contingent got what you asked for. Now, you are claiming you need far more scumbag latitude. NO. Why should we continue to follow you down an ethical sewer when your scumbag philosophy has proven to be a failure? We gave in to the scumbags, the scumbag philosophy proved incapable of the "Holy Grail" of being able to beat TCU and OU. Even though you got your "needed" rape enabler and a drug felon. Walk me through why the non-scumbag contingent needs to give in even more and drive UT athletics into something that even the faithful cant stand to be associated with, just to beat TCU and OU in football. We gave the ethical scumbags what you wanted, you failed to deliver, and your only response is that Texas athletics isn't willing to go even deeper into an ethical sewer. No.
  9. I liked the days when there were trunks full of weed, stealing televisions, and whipping some dudes ass on the side of the road. Not the days of piss charts and lectures of how hard winning is. I get your point. But your got your rape enabler and your 3* drug felon. And you didn't deliver. Neither did your rape enabler or your 3* drug felon. Back to the end of the line.
  10. Mensa wanted, many of us said "Hell No" and the "scumbag contingent of UT athletics" said otherwise. You got your way. The ethical contingent got shouted down for the rape enabler and the drug dealer. You have had your say. You haven't delivered. Time to go another direction and that isn't deeper into an ethical sewer we should have never started down to begin with.
  11. You don't get to join this conversation. We know where aggys stand on the issue of ethics.
  12. Tom Herman. Tom Herman claimed he couldn't win without Casey Horny. And Leatio. And Joshua Moore. And "you people" want Herman fired. To hire (Urban) a person who has IMMENSELY lower ethical standards than Herman.
  13. Post the actual quote I wrote. Or don't. Your choice.
  14. Have you looked at my avatar, you lightweight?
  15. Lol. You vacated the high ground when you purposely omitted the modifier I included when I said "I would (metaphorically) lead the charge to burn down the campus and piss on (not in you fuckwad) the ashes." "Metaphorically"
  16. What I'm saying is the "scumbag" contingent got your drug dealer and rape enabler. And now you are coming back insisting you need more. If we are seriously going to consider hiring Urban Meyer, where is the limit of the "scumbag" contingent in continuously asking for yet more and more odious human pieces of shit? What defines the human piece of shit where you admit your approach has failed? For me, the "human piece of shit" limit is Urban Meyer. And please, point to another D1 football program that knowingly and intentionally brought in a rape enabler and a drug felon to be able to beat teams the caliber of TCU and OU and failed. Maybe the problem isn't that we aren't big enough scumbags. We've given the scumbag contingent a lot and they haven't delivered. Maybe there is another way other than hiring a human piece of shit to prove just how big of scumbags we are willing to be.
  17. We gave into "you people" when you demanded a rape enabler just had to be on campus. And then again when you insisted Texas Football had to look the other way when someone who was under felony indictment for distributing controlled narcotics to students on a school campus just had to be given a scholarship. No. Enough. We gave into "you people" and you failed to deliver. Your "scumbag until we win" mentality is your personal baggage. It doesn't need top be the future of Texas football. You are the epitome of people who can't envision success without acting like a scumbag. Not all of us have gone through life with your baggage. Some of us understand it is possible to succeed without being a human piece of shit. I get it you are adamant that we sink to the lowest level because "younger generation fans want to win." Fuck them. And I'm not even going to go into your "Bill Powers" verbal diarrhea. UT Austin doesn't have a 2.5 GPA junior college transfer and a 70,000 enrollment because Bill Powers said the same thing to others I am saying to you. No. You have your standards, we have ours.
  18. Nope. I don't post under any name other than RD. On any site. Never have. Never will. Your thinking I do otherwise is just you acting like an aggy.
  19. If you look back, my earlier comment was that Casey Horny was a concession to the "scumbag uber alles" contingent. They whined that if we didn't have a rape enabler, Texas footfall would be "mediocre af." We gave "those people" what they demanded and they didn't deliver with a football team that could beat TCU and/or OU. Now they are demanding another scumbag concession, insisting if we don't give in Texas footfall will be "mediocre af." My point is the "scumbag" contingent will ALWAYS claim if we don't become "true scumbags" we will never have a decent football team. We gave them a rape enabler. We gave them a drug dealer. And they didn't deliver on their end. We walked down the road of being scumbags, they didn't deliver, and now they insist we need to give them more. Just a question for the scumbag contingent - when are we at the point when it is evident to even you that your approach is completely fucked up and your scumbag fantasies are shown to be just that - scumbag fantasies? Rape enablers on campus - check Drug dealers on campus - check. Urban Meyer - fuck no, you had your shot when you demanded the rape enabler and the drug dealer. It's now time to let the grown-ups have control of the program for a while. You asked, we gave, you didn't deliver. The "pro scumbag" contingent needs to shut the fuck up.
  20. The truly sad thing is the lives that will not be transformed by the life-changing experience of stepping onto the A&M campus and into the confines of Kyle Field. I was looking forward to an aggy writing a letter this time saying how thrilled he was that Ole Miss won because they needed the win more than A&M. Because opposing fans often watch games and consider whether the other team needs the win more than their team.
  21. Your argument is that his track record while at Utah and Bowling Green exonerates him from his poor judgement at Florida and Ohio State? Art Briles was as much a saint while at U of H ad Urban was at BG or Utah. I would argue if you want to go scumbag, Briles is a better scumbag choice than Urban. Hugh Freeze is probably a better scumbag option than either Urban or Briles. Hell, "you people" not only can't think of a way to success other than to be a scumbag, you can't even pick a quality scumbag.
  22. Urban also leaves an odious stench everywhere he goes. And no. If Urban actually does end up at Texas, I will be here the entire time saying "I told you so." We all know the trade that is being made if any school hires Urban Meyer.
  23. Lol. I got the same reaction when "you people" insisted if we didn't shut up about the rape enabler we would be "mediocre af." And over the drug dealer. Face it. The issue isn't that Texas football "will be mediocre af" unless we all become scumbags. The problem is "you people" can't contemplate any solution to the problem other than to become scumbags. No thank you. We all don't have to live in a world limited by the intellect of "you people." There is another solution. Some universities may be "ok" with teaching that ethics don't matter. UT Austin should not become one of them just to beat TCU and OU in football.
  24. We were told we couldn't win unless we held our noses and brought a rape apologist on the staff. Then we were told we couldn't win unless we had a felon who sold controlled substances to kids on school campuses. We have been told before that unless to started down the road to being a scumbag program we would be mediocre. And yet we ended up being mediocre. Now we are being told we need to be even more of a scumbag program if we are to win. Completely ignoring, of course, that there might be another variable at play other than "not unethical enough." The minds of those who are convinced success lies on the dark side of the ethical abyss are sad little things. The "fans" and "alumni" who insist the only road to success is ever lower standards as a scumbag program need to be told to go to Hell. The University doesn't need or want them. Their small minds can't envision any road to success not predicated on being disgusting people. Their (your) limitations shouldn't be the standard the rest of us embrace. Your inability to think other than in a despicable mindset is your sickness. It needn't afflict the rest of us. The damage small-minded, ethically challenged people cause as they go through life is all too often left to the rest us us to clean up. In ways large and small, history has shown what happens when the small-minded are allowed a voice disproportionate to their intellect. We don't need Urban Meyer to teach us those lessons again. You personally might, but most of the rest of us don't. Hard pass on Urban Meyer. The same small minds who insisted we had to have a rape enabler and a drug dealer "or be mediocre af" were wrong then, and they are again wrong now. This isn't really hard to figure out.
