  1. This thread is like a reset after spending time in the squalor that is the Deion thread. Excellent example of two different types of humans. Earl always gave his Momma credit for raising him right. I agree.
  2. Lil' Dribblers starting kids so young on regulation size courts, even with lowered baskets messes with their mechanics, I think. Having to heave the ball from the free throw line at 8 or 10 is a lot different than at 16 and up. Looks to me like her shot is a mixture of that young heave and adaption as she grew up.
  3. If she is married, why is she still using Saban as a last name? Doesn't strike me as a feminist type. No wedding band either. Guess she could have taken it off. Shrugs. Just all seems off.
  4. I really thought Sanders was going to use his popularity for a good thing when he started pushing the HBCU as a positive, and hopefully increasing their popularity which in turn would expand the opportunities for more athletes to get higher education. When he abandoned them as quickly as he did, it was obvious he was using them as a steppingstone to a bigger platform to promote his kids, himself or both. That move just made him even more despicable to me. There is nothing gracious about this person. I think of Jim Brown, Ali and others who put themselves in the line of fire for standing up for the civil rights of people of color. All Sanders does is promote himself and his legacy, which is sad, considering how much good he could do if he wasn't so narcissistic. Pretty much the opposite of Kaepernick.
  5. From what I read today, season 3 is even better than the first two. And they set pretty high bars, IMO.
  6. What other institute of higher learning is there in the state of Texas that is perceived as a hub of a critical and oft liberal thinking? There is no other, and for decades students and faculty coming to UT Austin has meant for them a place to imagine and push for a better world, generally for all, not just the uber rich. It has been the history of UT students and academia to speak up when they disagreed with something. And the bigger the injustice the stronger the response. I do not agree with your recommendation that people simply move on. UT has always fought for the right to change the world. This is just another example of that, and I see no problem at all with some peaceful protestation remind UT admin what the University means to so many.
  7. Here's a couple maybe it's too early to read classify yet: I'm thinking Josh Heupel is moving towards the Good category considering the Vols seem cleaner now and he's definitely got his offense moving in the right direction. He also uses respect for other teams without selling his out. Joey McGuire might be Good if he learns Tech's place and quits shit talking other schools. But I'm leaning more towards Bad for him, because I doubt he'll change. Watching him and Dykes will be interesting. That should be a natural rivalry there. Private rich school vs 2nd level state school. Both with 'aw shucks' kinda coaches.
  8. So stupid question amnesty, but why is all of this falling on Hartzell and nothing on the Chancellor? I was just ruminating on how McRaven would have reacted to all this.
  9. Could be she's waiting for at least one of her friends to join her here? You alluded to that earlier.
  10. Probably wanted to alert Pecker that he now had the tallest building in NYC.
  11. Seems like Cohen told stories about how Trump used mafia style intimidation like sending thugs to threaten in person? Maybe that was Avenatti making some shit up. If he was/is so frugal, seems very likely he'd send some heavy to lean on someone before buying someone out. I hope prosecution got some proof of that and will include it into evidence.
  12. What are the odds Trump will try to use a picture of Hunter's junk and claim it as his own?
  13. This drives a lot of the Hispanic vote in Texas. The idea of Trump's machismo. Women of Trump calendar? I wonder if they intend to use the "definition of sex" defense Clinton used?
  14. Another point of interest will be in how Melania reacts to all this being aired in public as factual testimony instead of being able to brush it off as gossip or hearsay. Everything in this trial will be good fodder for her divorce case. Stupid question amnesty: imagine this has been discussed ad nauseum, but how can someone convicted of a felony not be able to vote, but can still run for an elected position? He can run for president, but isn't allowed to vote for himself?
