  1. You could say the same about the new Big Ten and SEC versus the rest of Division I.
  2. Larry Scott legitimately killed the conference with the albatross of the TV deal and the corporate headquarters.
  3. When does he accept a position at TAMU?
  4. I’m pretty strongly against legacy admissions, but it would be fascinating to see what defense Harvard and others would use in a court of law.
  5. Great interview by one of our professors , Dr Webber, on the state of Texas grid.
  6. Think most people knew that Wagner were in no ways the “good guys,” but were hoping that it would topple the regime and at least open various factions to complete for the top position. Tough when the power has a nukes, but not likely that the opposition that we generally support would have the military power to start the revolution. Would be hoping for them to emerge later.
  7. So does the CIA get a refund on their deposit?
  8. More details on the meeting. Seems unlikely based on the movements we’ve seen though.
  9. Two things: It is pretty indicating that Wagner hasn’t encountered significant resistance. Seems insane that going through a somewhat militarized portion of the country with barely firing a shot, but that has to be attributed to the morale on the front. Doesn’t seem like they trust the generals / higher command as they have been somewhat removed from the front. Wagner are god awful, but there is something somewhat fitting that the revolution is progressing from Ukraine / Crimea / Rostov given the history of the Whites during the Russian Revolution.
  10. Which Tom Clancy novel is this again?
  11. Shame as he’s one of the greatest American writers ever. In the middle of the border trilogy while on paternity leave, and the way he can describe the relationship between man and nature is second to none. Edit: this line really stuck with me from the tail end of All The Pretty Horses: In the end we all come to be cured of our sentiments. Those whom life does not cure death will. The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not. Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.
  12. How have we made it this far without this gem being posted?
  13. Honestly, Reddit dying would be a good thing. The upvote/downvote system and the rankings of the comments by then turns everything into a binary of right / wrong and can promote misinformation so easily. The message board system like Surly is a lot better for discussion.
  14. Yeah, those people are absolute morons.
  15. I see ADX Florence is clearing room. Wonder who it is for? His manifesto is pretty crazy in that it lies on the line between insanity and familiar thoughts.
  16. Well, guess it’s all coming down to Game 7. Seattle has done a much better job both of the last two games with possession and shots, so let’s hope the Stars wake up for the last game.
  17. As someone who has had the joy of riding in an armed convoy in Africa, that’s a brutal distance to travel. Seems like a complete nightmare on all accounts.
  18. Don Lemon and Tucker would make for the crossfire from hell.
  19. It’s clearly Big Chico’s Tacos money at work.
