  1. I snapped this right after sundown. The second one was on the trail of lights at zilker. Would have been cool if they lined up somehow. But too many trees and buildings now.
  2. I was glad someone eventually asked Emma a question in the press conference. She's such an important part of this team. Did anyone else catch the lengthy shot of Cook scouting our game v Wisconsin. Did it look like he had dozed off to anyone else? I don't think it was JE who prompted Ella to say no comment to the question about responding to Murray's 'next 3 years' line. I think it was either Asjia or Madi. I'm proud that UT athletics plays with so much sportsmanship. This team is no exception.
  3. I'm thinking that most of the portal and NIL issues will be regulated in some way by the end of this decade. I also see violence in the sport and resulting injuries will probably do more to change the game than anything. There will be different levels that play different versions of the game, where the mid to lower tier play something akin to 7 on 7, and the upper tier will play full contact to feed the NFL machine. Also climate will play a hand in scheduling, or at the very least push those high tier teams to either play games at night on in domes. No more 11 AM or 2:30 games in August/September at least.
  4. They have swag too. Just in time for Christmas. Spread the word and look good doing it | Mothers for Democracy Mothers for Democracy is Mothers Against Greg Abbott, but now expanding to a more national level. They are doing all kinds of awesome work for candidates across the state and are working hard with all sizes of counties. Please support this group. They are truly grassroots and not full of a lot of politicos in it to make a living and/or pad a resume. They also have a sister organization that presents a podcast, and they have just started. The podcasts were targeting the voucher scam and obviously M4D is pushing Gun Reform. They have already endorsed Roland Gutierrez for Senate and I encourage you to check him out. He's real.
  5. Soon we'll be seeing "Elko: Junction Boys 2024"
  6. I understood that Banks signed with UT because they took the time to learn how to spell his first name. Details matter, apparently.
  7. There is no way this douche doesn't identify as white. Just a well tanned white. Fucking Aryan assholes.
  8. The humpee did put on a condom, which I am sure is compliant with their updated code of clean conduct fun. So where's the problem?
  9. I think its original intent is still useful. But the purity of the award, the standards of measurement have been bastardized into a popularity contest, instead of what the individuals bring to the game and their team. The integrity of the award has not been the same since Earl won it. I will never forget Ross Browner and Parseghian dissing UT and Earl from the Heisman podium.
  10. He's especially annoying for those of us who grew up to Wally Pryor and Ron Franklin, Frank Gifford, Pat Summerall. I rarely wish we could go back to the way things were, this is one area where I do. Even Cosell was easier to stomach than Galindo.
  11. I didn't catch the @ there, but the name seemed familiar. He knows his talent level has him stuck in the little B/CS market, so he's doubling down.
  12. Along with getting Arch some real gametime experience, I think Sark wanted some recruits to see the wunderkind is in fact real, showing off his potential and the support the fans have for him. Probably help sell some portal possibles too. I also agree that he waited for the last 4 (potential) games, so even if he had to play Arch in each game going forward, his shirt won't be burned.
  13. There's nothing on that table J Whitt would put in his body. They enjoy it because it spotlights the coach as the problem each time, and the culture never gets questioned. I'd really like one of those coaches to sack up and talk about how that culture affects that football team negatively, and to a lesser degree the other sports. But aggy sure likes to point out our culture like it's some plague. Typical lack of self awareness.
  14. I agree to an extent. I imagine they'll use that time to find out if he is MAGA electable and will run him if he is, and if not will drop him. Surely other MAGA lunatics will rise to the top of that slop bucket to overtake him as the shiny bauble of the moment.
  15. It's less about the book than ultra MAGA people grooming him for office.
  16. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRv2sjGv/
  17. No, the easy clickbaits are JImbo's hotseat and Arch thinking of transferring. Thats all the write about anymore down here.
  18. Been getting those and a lot of campaigning for 4 by realtors. I've gotten 3 of the same mailer in my little red town from them. Maybe someone can tell me why prop 4 is so important to realtors? Because they figure people will start looking for more expensive homes with this additional tax break?
  19. Do they still make cum gum?
  20. They probably have him detailing the Suburban.
  21. You guys that are in the know: How much do you figure UT spends on security to keep from being spied on? I have to wonder how long they've been sweeping offices for bugs since at least Switzer, Lacewell and Spygate?
  22. I really hope we get to see the dashcam and bodycam footage of Sumlin's stop and arrest.
  23. Or buying goodwill with the voters by using it to cover the gaping holes in things we've defunded, like parks and education.
  24. I agree with Brisket on most of his takes, and I believe Chainsaw has my same dance card. Prop 13 is a Yes for me because someone higher up the food chain told me we had a few really good Dem judges who were about to be retired, and this would allow they keep their benches a few more years. I also had one of them tell me it's no fun going before a judge who is sundowning. So I guess it's a shrug, but I'd be a definite YES if they had added in some types of mental fitness standards. On Prop 6, one of the things the Tribune posted was something about the treatment of fracking water. That gave me pause, thinking maybe it would be a way for O&G to get taxpayers to pay for some environmental obligation of theirs. But the overall promise of the venture outweighs the negative, especially since it seems to have pretty good oversight built in. One of the provisions of Prop 5 is that the to be eligible for this funding not only does the school have to be a state university, but also have a research budget of at least 20M/yr. and graduate at least 45 Phd's for three years running. So at least it sets a standard. I was afraid we'd be sending Baylor a wad of cash to research for proof of creationism over evolution. On Prop 4, the temporary part bothers me. Reminds me of the Trump Tax Plan. Delicious looking icing on a turd. Once the rainy-day fund begins to dwindle, where will the ISDs turn for the shortfall in funding due to their tax base being reduced a couple of years earlier? I'll be interested to see if the Lake Limestone screwup isn't early in the priorities for Prop 14 plans.
  25. The healthcare system is layers of corporations upon more layers all taking a piece of the pie, and we keep voting in people who not only allow this stuff, but actually pass laws that make it easier. To me the fleecing of the middle and lower classes by corporate greed (in all areas) is criminal and the protection of the average citizen from them should be top priority. Democrats should make consumer protection one of their standards. You know there are rich fuckers who are in your misery from cradle to grave, every phase of your life. Selling you the shit that makes you obese, then owning the healthcare and drugs that supposedly treat you, even the assholes who own the funeral homes that dispose of your body. All the while they keep you distracted from how they are picking your pocket with all these diversions about race, gender, age, religion, etc. Harkening back to the conspiracy thread, I don't know if those rich assholes at the top orchestrated it starting centuries ago, or just are living large off the stupidity of humans, but I bet the answer is somewhere in the middle. On the funeral stuff, if you haven't watched The Burial yet, I'd suggest it.
