  1. I'm on a group text with 3 former coworkers - we're all relatively young (29-32), college educated, work in a pretty progressive field (immigration advocacy) and grew up in roughly the same Houston burbs.  1 of them is super liberal, 1 is more left-leaning and the other is a Republican.

    It's mostly just funny memes and articles.  Nothing of substance due to political differences.  Yesterday, we're joking about the articles regarding the FDA saying you can't call almond milk "milk" because the government definition of milk is something that is milked from cows.  Someone jokes "my tax dollars are paying for this?" and I said "bigger waste than paying for Eric Trump to go skiing in Aspen" and the Republican responds "yeah, but we also paid for Obama's family trips."

    Irredeemable. Deplorable. Hypocritical.

    Eric Trump - 35 years old, worth $300 million

    Sasha and Malia Obama (at the time) - underage and lived in the White House with their parents

     

    But black.

    I think they are pretty damn close and wouldn't argue against either one being the best.  I chose Coleman due to how much he will have the ball in his hands, his leadership, and his importance late in close games.

    Same. This team will go as Coleman goes, so overall, he's most important.  Point guard drives the bus and, while I love Roach, I don't want him driving the bus.

    Also yeah, I kind of forgot about Febres. If he finds his stroke as a sophomore, watch out.

    I am organizing a prayer breakfast tomorrow for the sole purpose to get Beto O'Rourke to stop using strong language on the campaign trail.

    Plates start at $300 and guarantee you access to my mailing list. 

    Civility!!!

    we are choosing between two goofy looking dudes

    Maybe but in reality, Beto is like, a 7 and Cruz is like, a 2. He's disgusting.

    Their drinks/margaritas are trash. Their food is completely average. Their menu is expensive for mediocre Tex Mex. Give me El Real any day over the week over El Tiempo. Better and cheaper

    Then you'll be happy to know the El Tiempo on Montrose is officially outta there on 7/31. More apartments!

    And the sting is worsened by the fact that Patty reached out and got a top flight coach who happens to be an ace recruiter. I live in Florida, trust me, kids love her and Walton will have a hard time replacing her.

    It's SUPER nice when you have an alumni to bring back who went off and was successful for a baker's dozen of years under another head coach.  Such a luxury that comes from coaching for so long at one program, like Patty has.   She had other options too - Michelle Gascoigne is pitching coach at Northwestern. 

    I don't know if Mike had any player on a similar career path as Rocha he could have hired. And Texas doesn't have any alumni in major coaching positions except Cat.

    I'm not sure those millenials are banking on anything.  And if they had to finance education, I don't know what on earth would make them think they can rely on an inheritance.

    I am 100% not banking on an inheritance. The great 3 figure inheritance from my Boomer folks ain't going to do shit.

    As usual, to many of you on here, CONGRATULATIONS on being so financially secure and in a great place.  Your unheralded, unparalleled successes in life definitely should be TRUMPETED over the struggles of your fellow generation who maybe didn't have all the best support systems you did growing up.

    But we really, really are inspired by your ability to tell us how successful and prepared you are/will be and how we the rest of us are just entitled and "banking on" being bailed out.

    I'm thinking this too, but there are only a few hundred house races and only a small subset of those are flippable by either party right now. They will be highly scrutinized, the question is do the GOP and Russia give a shit? I think we all know the answer to that one.

    Dems don't win the House. Gutless pussy media will ignore a possible hacking and go with this route instead:

    "Did polls understate shy Republican voters?"

    "Were the polls wrong again?"

    "What is wrong with polling in American politics?"

    "Trump will be re-elected in 2020 due to the hidden Trump vote"

    Losing in Alabama is a call to action for the traitors among us. They now know what they have to do. Putin's their man.

    It seemed a one off election would be scrutinized more. Better to execute in a midterm election when it will get lost amongst the rest of the data.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!! Are they basically not caring if it looks like they're trying to rig the midterms?

    They don't care, because they won't be punished for it.

    Blackburn was rightfully blamed for assisting the opioid crisis.  I don't think that was her intention but rather her intention was to help the pharma industry by calling off the DEA.  That stink is hard to wash off.  

    You mean Female Ted Cruz? She's also COVERED in shit from the telcomms.

  12. Alan Major has been named Director of Player Development. I always assume this is the "Enforcer" position.

    18 years as an assistant men's coach at Ohio State, Xavier, Pacific, Southern Ill and Cal Lutheran.  Was also the former head men's coach at Charlotte (he and Karen overlapped a by a year at Charlotte).

    That's some pretty good experience to have on staff doing video scouting.
