  1. Bless you for sharing that. What a beautiful, composed write up by a person who just lost her beloved dad. I didn’t know Lance Blanks but sensed his empathetic nature during broadcasts. It’s evident to most on this board that Lowell has struggled and fallen short of what fans expect from a Longhorn play by play guy. No doubt Lance was aware that Lowell faced an uphill battle. You’d often hear him building up Lowell, complimenting Lowell, and not as an insincere, obsequious thing, rather as a fellow human being who felt bad for a colleague’s struggles and wanted to show support so that they could succeed. It was an easy to miss gesture, but always showed me the kind heart LB possessed.
  2. I’m a descendant of Cotton Mather and another progenitor started the 1st Christian church In Alabama. Plus the whole slaves thing. So yeah, I’ve got a large karmic generational debt to pay which I’m slowly repaying in tiny increments with insightful posts in the Cliak Room.
  3. Absolutely this. As long as the widespread fomenting of hate and fear continues unchecked and goes rewarded, along with unfettered access to firepower, this shit will continue. Upside: all it takes is sufficient resolve on the part of Americans to change things. This is also unfortunately the downside.
  4. The Cloak Room is a terrible place!!!
  5. So sad about this. RIP to Lance Blanks and condolences to those who loved him.
  6. A corollary of our collective failure to manage guns in the US is a pessimism that we’re capable as a people of seriously addressing climate change. If you can’t even rally the troops to a clear cut, man made problem that regularly kills children as seen on TV, what hope is there that enough of the audience will be moved by a slower-unfolding disaster with multiple etiologies and somewhat localized effects? We couldn’t even all agree that masks are not a personal infringement during a modern plague. We are a nation of dumbfucks that need to get on the same page.
  7. Removing the Oakleys must have been like the moment Vader’s helmet was taken off and his humanity revealed, if Vader had a gin blossom.
  8. Do you not think SEC SEC SEC will hate Texas to the same degree? Basketball wise, it’s Kansas and the field since the Big 12 started. SEC should hold more drama in terms of competing for conference championships, even if it’s not the same level of competition throughout the conference. You’d think the cross-school cabal would aim at Jayhawk basketball, no? Sincere question. I’m willing to be wrong again.
  9. Most Fox viewers just want to stay abreast of who and what to hate and fear. Fox must keep meeting that malignant need and they should be able to weather this. I believe in them and their infinite capacity for poisoning the communal (read: communist) well. You can do this guys.
  10. If we have a Trump-Fox death match ahead, I may actually start looking forward to the 2024 elections, replacing the dread currently occupying that bit of mental space.
  11. Rodney Terry’s really scouring the transfer portal these days.
  12. This where I am. I’m not even sure Arterio would have stayed if Beard had. Seniors still would have been out of eligibility. Maybe we would have been more successful landing transfers to date but that’s far from settled. Ultimately there’s nowhere to go but forward and I hate backwards looking hand wringing like Tech hated Chris Beard.
  13. Her mortality? She will shuffle off eventually - that’s the best thing I can say about her.
  14. Mugshots of persons arrested for this sort of thing invariably lead me to think ‘the dog could have done better’.
  15. You people are never happy. No one talks about the fact that Huck Finn with all the N words is now on the recommended reading list. Some folks are just half empty.
  16. When MAGA learns of the Enlightenment, you can add that to this list of topical banishments. ‘It was a dark period in Man’s history…’ is all people really need to know.
  17. If I could find Nick Cage’s laugh/cry gif, it would go here. They’re gone from banning books to contemplating banning libraries. I just hope no one tells them about the internet. I want it to be a surprise.
  18. Dude had 0 points, O rebounds, 0 blocks, 0 assists, 0 fouls in 12 minutes against us in the tourney. Small data point to be sure, but I’d be surprised if there’s too much interest on our part. Maybe he really showed something in the pregame shoot around. Or perhaps it was his 0 turnovers against us that caught someone’s eye.
  19. So far. There is no bottom. Gird your loins for Justice George Santos.
