  1. That's a family tradition. Bob McNair was a prince of a human who was very, very charitable. Much of it under the radar.
  2. I have not seen one yet. But I will post when it is available or pm you. He was a Texas grad. Worked as attorney at Lewis Brisbois.
  3. I'd effort to get big leads (I know, real cutting edge thought). And then get Arch real reps running the offense once game is out of hand. More than a decent chance Arch will need to play out of necessity. These 12-15 game schedules lend themselves to needing QB depth for injuries.
  4. A guy my wife and I were friends with was shot and killed at a McDonalds 6 p.m. Saturday night. Location was on Katy Freeway near Chimney Rock. I suspect I am not the only one on the board who knows him. He was an attorney, mid 40s, went to Memorial High School where he was a very good QB until he got hurt, and went to Texas undergrad. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/05/05/man-shot-after-dispute-with-angry-mcdonalds-customer/ Details are sketchy at this point. Apparently the shooter was yelling at the McDonalds cashier about a refund and our friend tried to calm him down. The shooter got mad and shot him before fleeing the scene. One report says the shooting happened inside. And one says outside. Sounds kind of like River Phoenix's character's demise in Stand By Me. Police are attempting to locate the shooter.
  5. I have noticed more than a few kids I know start at ACC and then transfer to Texas. Or that is their stated intent. How common is that?
  6. Only cowards need to hide their faces. The KKK were cowards. So are these pussies who hide their faces while protesting.
  7. I don’t have a problem with not allowing the KKK to march with hoods. For the same reason I have no problem with these protesters being prohibited from covering all or parts of their faces.
  8. I don’t really see a constitutional issue regarding whether they are enforceable. Can you identify the constitutional provision someone might argue they violate?
  9. A prohibition on masks while protesting is very likely enforceable and does not violate the first amendment. Texas and other schools prohibit them. If challenged in court, I’d predict the 5th circuit will enforce. As would the SCOTUS. Based on the second circuit’s reasoning in the 2004 KKK case. We will see. You may disagree. But that’s my prediction. As far as I know, U or Texas’ mask ban for protests hasn’t been challenged yet.
  10. Mask bans are very likely constitutional. I think they are wise. People protesting behave better when you can see their faces. Also aids in identifying them. And then convicting them in front of a jury should they destroy property or commit violence. Courts have long held bans on disguises are constitutional in KKK cases. https://casetext.com/case/church-of-the-american-knights-of-the-ku-klux-klan-v-kerik
  11. Yes. No masks, disguises or face coverings when protesting is a very good policy.
  12. I don' think either him or the death to Israel types should be kicked out of a public school for protected speech.
  13. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  14. Yep. Albertsons then bought them and Tom Thumb.
  15. Some people on this board who are the first ones to call others racist delude themselves into thinking they aren't racist really are. They prefer more lily white states like the Pac 12 footprint. These same folks love segregated but progressive Austin. What do Oregon, Washington, and Utah have, about 4 black residents between them? I celebrate the diversity in Texas and the Southeastern Conference. Some here clearly don't. These are the type of people who would never sit down and break bread with a black person.
  16. What most people think of hate speech is a hell of a lot broader than targeted threats of violence. I mean I said in my post you partially quoted that much. Hate speech is legal. Threatening imminent violence isn’t. General hate speech has to be legal. Because it’s the only type of speech that really needs first amendment protection. I consider from the river to the sea or death to Israel hate speech. Doesn’t mean someone shouldn’t have the absolute right to chant that on a college campus. Even generally chanting death to Jews is protected. In contrast, “I’m going to kill that Jew over there in the blue hat” or “Let’s go bomb that Jewish fraternity house” would be illegal.
  17. I didn’t claim that. I said southern schools were improving. And getting more applications due to those factors. I didn’t say it was at expense of pac 12 schools. There’s all sorts of articles on this. Believe what you want.
  18. The increase in applications for Southern schools is coming from applicants in the North and Midwest. Not the West.
  19. Hate speech should be tolerated on a public university campus. We shouldn’t be regulating content we don’t like outside of actual threats of imminent violence so long as the speaker is following the time, place and manner restrictions. Hate speech isn’t illegal and never should be. Let the idiots spew their hate. And shun them accordingly.
