  1. Guinea's new boss, Colonel Mamady Doumbouya. Ex-French Foreign Legion and graduate of special forces schools in Israel, Senegal, Gabon & France. IN my opinion these coups come about when the current prez tries to take independence from the former colonizer a little too seriously, as in, he starts messing with the money. In Guinea's case that would be France. There is a Spanish Guinea too -- I think that's Equatorial Guinea, Spain's only former African colony.
  2. Westheimer Street Fest, 1982-ish Which one of you is lil dude rockin it with the skates and sweatbands?
  3. Two adults, two kids, all shot to death, found inside burning house. Police say they don't think it was murder-suicide. I guess maybe they had one more kid who offed the whole family? it happened on Imogene Street in a neighborhood that's a little scruffy but up and coming between Meyerland and Sharpstown.
  4. Probably because of all the attention Joe Rogan is getting, Alex Jones has now revealed to the world that he has had Covid twice and cured it with Ivermectin both times. That's the backstory of him taking some live on the air the other day. i don't know what to believe. He says the first case was 18 months but almost nobody was talking up Ivermectin then. The fresh case was about two weeks ago...oh, and amid this rambling confession, he says he has never tested positive for it. I guess he just "knew" he had it both times. He is very very high atop my list of people I want to get a really nasty case, but I bet that fat fuck got a vax on the downlow.
  5. It kind of feels like driving home after a first date with the first non-batshit woman you've come across in years....Happy, but very cautiously optimistic for the future.
  6. I can't remember feeling better after a season opener since I really can't remember when. If it wasn't a Terrapin Tom Special, or Mack would roll out some really lackluster openers in his good-but-not-great years -- we'd beat some team like Rice or a shitty UNT squad by a score similar to this one, or barely edge Arkansas State . No stupid penalties. While the run game wasn't punishing, it got where it needed to be. A disruptive play on special teams with that blocked XP. Solid on third down conversions. Not a clownshow. I'll take it.
  7. we need another unabomber...this one should take requests
  8. Re Alvarez, I remember some announcers sneering about 35 years ago, when i was still playing HS, that if you fouled off your back leg, you were no kinda real major hitter. Real hitters only fouled off their front shin or foot...And it discouraged me, because I was a pretty good hitter at that level, but only would foul pitches like that off my back foot....Sparks and Ford mentioned it yesterday, just how surprised they were it was his back knee and not his front. I've never really understood the physics of fouling off one leg or the other as indicative of how good a hitter you were, but I have to admit I'd only ever seen pitchers hit off their back leg in MLB. But shit, if it happens to Yordan it could happen to anybody.
  9. Whittington should be used in a Reggie Bush / Eric Metcalf / Romance type role. Heisman tools in that slot, for real.
  10. Me too but you really need to have a OL tradition where you can redshirt blue chips. It's the hardest position on the field in terms of physical maturity and also awareness. Teams can win with a bad OL win year (see us, 2009) but Mack's utter inability to recruit or develop linemen from about 2006 on (recruiting wise) is the main reason we've sucked for all these years. Pat Mahomes could not win the Super Bowl last year with that dogshit line they had to roll out against TB and we sure as hell couldn't win with Tyrone Swoopes behind an even worse line. we are slowly getting back to where we need to be...Jimbo left FSU in the same heap of shit; let's see how long it takes them to get out of it.
  11. I think he's got two batches now, and I think he got custody of the first, because she is even crazier than he is.
  12. West Texas dung beetles. They look like they are so happy to be rolling shitballs around.
  13. This whole redemption tour shitshow at UNC tells you everything you need to know about Mack Brown. He had a chance to leave on great terms -- for him, anyway; we would have to have gone through 3-5 years of decline before we fired Muschamp. But he was both too dumb to say how far his program had fallen and too stubborn to listen to advice on how to change things. It really blows my mind on how fucking entitled he got -- he really thought because he won that NC and came close to another, he could just prop his feet on his desk, let the services do his recruiting for him, and keep on cruising to unsatisfying ten-win seasons with the very occasional lightning in a bottle "miracle year" when he finally adjusted his gameplans to his personnel instead of the reverse. I mean Gene Chizik won an NC with a VY-like QB. It's not that hard to do if you let the player play instead of dick-measuring your coaching acumen by showing everybody how well this stud works in "your system." No, Mack -- you and GDGD can stick your playbooks up your asses and run VY's offense, or you will both be fired. That was the message he finally got after 12-0 (which ruined my daughter's first full day on earth for me) and hey lookie there we go a historic win streak that would have continued for a whole 'nother year had VY not left early. But he did leave early and we kind of blew for two years and...I really don't know how to explain Colt. Finally one of Mack's diamonds in the rough actually panned out, despite a shit offensive line. These are the things he did. We won't get into all the things he did not do, like all those QBs he did not recruit because he decided that the future belonged to GG alone, and he acted as if GG would have 15 years of eligibility.
  14. Mack inherited a fucking LOADED team -- Heisman winner, Major, Casey fucking Hampton and Shaun fucking Rodgers and a bunch more all-conference and/or NFL players like DD Lewis, Kwame Cavil, and Wane McGarity . And then he underachieved until VY (who he didn't want, and then wouldn't let rip) and Colt and then he totally shit the bed and actually left the program in much, much worse shape than he found it -- very little talent and a bunch of low motivation stoners. God smiled on him somehow -- I have never seen a big-time college QB as bad as Case McCoy win as many games as he did... It's all about his inability to oversee the development of offensive linemen. Our trouble started sometime before the Matthews kids went aggy. I remember Bruce went to one of our practices and actually was laughing at what Mack and which ever numbnuts OL coach du jour were trying to do and told everybody around him there was no way in hell his kids were going to play for Mack....Which was just great -- NFL Hall of Famer from maybe the most illustrious family of football players not just steering his kids to aggy but openly mocking our "legendary" coach at the same time....And then the tailspin for a decade plus. No OL drafted between Tony Hills and Connor Williams...losing what should have been slam-dunk blue-chip legacies to schools with better coaching...the whole debacle of Strong through Herman was underpinned with the sytemic failures Mack left in his wake.
  15. "If you like extended at bats, this is the game for you." -- Ford
  16. A kinda-sorta rock star -- BJ Thomas -- did grow up in Rosenberg right next door, but deadshank's pronouncment stands. He did head home and sign a lease in the Richmond-Rosenberg area once had had become a superstar.
  17. In 50 years it will all just be Liberty University (Austin campus) which is fine if Jerry Jr is around to show my 100-year-old ass where the hos are at
  18. FINALLY! Someone has distinguished where I am! Let brisket keep his bridge and his bourbon, while we lounge on The Lanai of misanthropy with our whippets, weed, and box wine.
  19. This -- White dudes only get pissed at Black dudes with White women if the White chick is hot.
  20. When I was in rehab they told us it counted as being "in the hospital" so maybe he's there. He's got a tightrope to walk -- if you fuck up real badly they will kick you out, but stay in longer than 30-45 days you also need to demonstrate an inability to get with the program. Also, his "progress" towards lasting sobriety is very often measured not by medical professionals but by insurance company death panels. When they say you've dried out enough, that is usually it. Having said all that there was one guy who was on his seventh or eighth month but rumor had it was part of a sentence. He was independently wealthy so his long stay in that weird and overly socially programmed resort was coming out of his pocket.
