  1. I feel like this is the low point and everything is about to get a whole lot better.
  2. I never heard that. He's on his official visit and we're swinging for the fences right now. Must be thinking of someone else.
  3. I love how according to this narrative Texas is focused on dominating in state, whereas for those of us actually following Texas recruiting, we know we're bringing in more out of state players than we ever have.
  4. That sucks. You're probably right, but I like my reading better. It's the Directors Cup Updates, for goodness sakes. Not the T&F update twitter feed.
  5. USC may be favorite for 2nd now. I like the sound of that.
  6. I know it's the angle, but the bed looks 3 feet long.
  7. I will shit a Tommie Harris sized helmet if we get Lamar Brown.
  8. 6'10, 195 lbs. Shouldn't he be from east Africa?
  9. "4 more years! 4 more years! 4 more years." Meanwhile, on the other side of the Cotton Bowl... "Grad-u-ate. Grad-u-ate. Grad-u-ate!"
  10. That would shock me less than going back and telling my past self how much in favor of it I would be. I had people around me campaigning to join the SEC long before A&M did. I loathed the idea at the time. I mean, I still don't like it, but I understand it was absolutely the best decision.
  11. There are three primary ways the House settlement is being challenged. One is antitrust. The other is Title IX. The third is athlete employment status. All three are extremely sticky, with no clear resolution. There is potential relief from federal legislation or some kind of executive order, but it's unclear what form it would take. There's a decent chance it would make the whole thing worse in some ways. And certainly it would be challenged in court as well. And that's assuming something gets passed, which I have serious doubts about. Not to mention the settlement agreement is going to be challenged by athletic programs and their boosters as well, in a pursuit to find workarounds to field better teams.
  12. The article you're citing doesn't make as clear cut a case as you seem to be. The person most responsible for its implementation was a German officer critical of naziism. The Fuhrer stopped the program in 1939 after the invasion of Poland, ultimately preferring to massacre Jews in concentration camps rather than send them to Palestine. The German Jews who were sent off to Palestine likely escaped a fate in the concentration camps, whether that was permanent incarceration or death. It appears according to the source you're citing that the Nazi support of the creation of a Jewish state was lukewarm at best, advocated by opportunists among German Jewish Zionists and anti Nazi German officials.
  13. Jews who do not support the state of Israel are often accused of self loathing and self hate by members of their own community. I'm not attempting to repeat neonazi propaganda efforts. I don't have to. I'm repeating messages propagated within the community itself.
  14. It's a message board. If American Jews feel politically homeless, let's compare them to Muslims. Especially Muslims sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. There are a lot of people who feel politically homeless. It's an important point to make, regardless of Chuckie's awareness of it.
