  1. I see better games at the YMCA.
  2. I’ve taken an interest in Huey T. Long. Really fascinating for those who might not know that he ran Louisiana as an authoritarian state. He actually held the office of Gov and Senator at the same time. He was primed to run against FDR and by all accounts was on his way to having a significant chance of becoming president. Essentially, maybe the only reason we aren’t already there is because he was gunned down. What I found interesting is that the mass movement he mobilized fizzed out after his death. It remained in Louisiana but this guy had expanded his movement nationwide.
  3. I just looked up Skyline chili and I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
  4. I contend that Barnes became too nice. I preferred the guy who nearly got in a fistfight with Dean Smith.
  5. No, they knew better. They let the PR narrative get out of hand. This is the resume that they looked at to hire Coach Vic
  6. I didn’t like it at the time but I understand why they felt like they had to let him go. To not do so would be to go against all the advice they were getting at the time. No one wants to stick their neck out, I get it. But, I do believe that it was a colossal failure of the administration to let the narrative build until a point where they lost control of it and then felt backed into the corner to make a bad decision (hiring RT) and just hope for the best.
  7. I agree that is the attitude of the powers that be except when conduct most likely wont hit the media.
  8. After playing a Strat with PF for several months now I can say that it performs very well. It was an aesthetic thing for me which is really kind of stupid. If they could get it a bit darker it would not bother me at all.
  9. This. Same principle at work as when all the blue hairs got bent about our opening video this season with the overweight rapper with his shirt off. Notice how it only lasted one game before they changed it to only show him with his shirt on? That lasted one game and then he was totally removed We are a bunch of pearl clutchers We took the easy way out by letting him go after privately telling him it would blow over. Then we compounded the mistake by getting bullied into hiring RT. Tired of seeing comments that we had no choice. I know for a fact that when RT was made interim there was no thought about hiring him. We always have choices. Some are hard, and some are easy. We made two easy choices and now look at where it put us. I understand that not everyone thinks firing Beard was a mistake. I respect that. But, the only reason we had to hire RT was because the powers that be let circumstances dictate our actions as opposed to getting control of them and taking the path that was best for the program. I also don’t buy the argument that RT saved the season. That was a mature, talented and veteran team that was much easier to put in a position to win. Donewald had the offense in a much better place than Haith has it now. RT sealed his fate when he brought in Haith to effectively run the program as a comfort hire. I think that we have some good players but they are not being utilized in a way to maximize what they do well. We were flat out coached last night.
  10. Amazing people only think it will be two years.
  11. Nothing that we wouldn’t be better off with someone else doing.
  12. I changed it. I was agreeing.
  13. She’s not out of his life. You’re right.
  14. Poorly coached.
  15. Kind of NGD. I have this same guitar but with Pau Ferro fretboard. This one came up with rosewood. I just like it better. It’s sonic blue in color but looks white in photo.
  16. I have known one guy who was involved in the murder of two people, another guy who was shot, saw a woman murdered from about 10 feet away, and been present at an unrelated TDCJ execution. I am not a member of a motorcycle gang.
  17. I sure would not have had Steven Hawking on my bingo card.
  18. Just as I was starting to feel bad about my life this hits like a bolt of lightning that things aren’t that bad! Thanks.
  19. There will be a time where you will kind of revise history and really miss those days. I do. I actually thought I could put together a large trampoline by myself in the dark. I did it but it was rough. Looking back I can say I do kind of miss even that.
  20. I got a Katana Mini. For noodling on couch late at night. Not a bad clean tone. Runs on batteries. Pretty good for its limited purpose.
  21. Hey, I’m the one that said it. I will try to abide by a better word choice in the future. It’s Christmas for fucks sake. To me, they played good D in the beginning, sunk after Beard left, and played much better in the stretch of the season. I saw every home game from third row center and that’s what it looked like to me. Your mileage may vary.
  22. You can say what you want but there was definitely a valley in our defensive play during the middle of the season.
  23. You seem a bit touchy about this.
  24. The Ray Charles and Booker T and the MG’s Christmas albums are essential.
