  1. I would think keeping kids fire up after a game like that is a challenge. Especially after they get to watch and discuss the game together. You get this game followed by anything even approaching 2015, then Sark just has to come to the PC and admit "they are just playing out the season now. It's obvious what is going on. Want to know why we are leaving? Look at your refs for starters, big 12. Reap what you sow." Then I would hope he would push for that nationwide pool of refs mentioned above. Considering the money this sport generates, flying in refs from across the country is piddling in an effort to keep the game as fair as possible. And no way with the advent of Zoom you couldn't have anonymous review committees of random games. Use panels of officials and fans, ex-coaches. Post grades for each ref and then as a group. Refs would never know what games would be chosen each week, like random drug tests, so they call all games cleaner.
  2. This. All the suspect recruiting of Robert Strait to go along with it. All to make Teaff look like some damn saint on his way out. While 2005 OSU was bad, it holds nothing against 92 Baylor. And there's not any fan of baylor that isn't an insufferable cunt. Not a one. Not a single one.
  3. This Karen must have grown up in a trailer where the only remaining VHS tape was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. These types of morons have made filling public office so unpleasant that few with true good intentions of serving their fellow man will take the job. Too often filled with people with agendas who have no moral compass, but are good at waxing over all the bad shit they do while polishing the knobs of those who employ them.
  4. Yeah me. I keep stepping on my dick here. lol
  5. I'd been taught in a pandemic class that each flu shot had three different strains and CDC or WHO or FDA determined which strains were most likely to pop up in the coming year. Also was told that those vaccinations protected you for life. So if you had been vaccinated 8 years, then you had immunity for 24 different strains in you then. I really have no idea if this is correct. I'd appreciate some input from those of you more knowledgeable. Used to be most all pharmacies compounded. I know my dad did quite a bit. It became a lost art. Funny he could compound but couldn't cook anything but pancakes, bacon and eggs. I first read about this in an article about how the teacher appointed this child the person responsible for escorting sick children to the school nurse. Fucking appalling. It was sad to see that CNN did not include any of that in their report. https://www.pilotonline.com/news/health/vp-nw-coronavirus-teresa-sperry-suffolk-20211004-75dz3bppmrb7zi467vbjyt7gji-story.html Should watch the final season of Goliath.
  6. here's a good page on heidi. https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/post/heidi-heubel-hitt-50-realtor-qanon-anti-vaxxer-hospitalized-with-covid
  7. Yes, I did this too. It has been a headache, and each office has it's own interpretation of what is acceptable documentation and which isn't. But I have to say they have been courteous and helpful without bending their own rules. Just weird and frustrating all around. Took 3 visits to get it finally done. I guess a lot of if is driven by those "durn illegals." And then go through all that and the DPS to SoS data transfer to register to vote is pretty suspect. Don't trust it. Go to Register2vote.org to double check your status.
  8. She is actually registered to vote, but now either has to show ID she doesn't have or fill out the Reasonable Impediment form to vote in person. She's been voting in elections for a long time, but now it's more difficult for her. Imagine that.
  9. Here's the answer. I am sure it won't be the last of these cases we hear about either. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/black-woman-rural-texas-unable-obtain-id-needed/story?id=80395815 Black woman in rural Texas struggles with process to vote, advocates say system is unfair Advocates say voter ID laws could disproportionately impact minorities. The lady who Cruz was attacking is in this article. She should have told this story. * DPS in neither Leon or Madison County has ever issued an Election ID card. Even if they tried, due to Covid now they can't walk in, but must make an appointment. The next availables for those counties are in 6 to 8 weeks. And most likely they won't have everything they need and have to make this trip several times, each time having to make a new appt. While on the surface it all seems legit and above board, but it underneath it just throws up more and more frustrating roadblocks to voting, which in turn makes people throw their hands up. So yeah, she should have told this story. SMDH.
  10. Beto ran a lot closer race than Hegar did. But then he ran against a horrible opponent. Hegar might have done better if Trump wouldn't have topped Cornyn's ticket. I honestly don't know what to do. Like Born said, its a circular thing. Not sure how to fix it.
  11. You are right. We aren't trying to persuade anyone. We are right now in a battle to keep them voting. But this attitude that they aren't worth any effort is harmful. And now in days of Zoom it's not that hard to at least be somewhat of a presence.
  12. Wow. I might as well dissolve into the sea of red around me, since my vote is a waste of time. I mean seriously why the fuck should even that 10-15% even vote at all? Fuck my feelings, right?
  13. Sorry, forgot for a moment how fucking insignificant we are in the rural areas. I was not saying the stump in every county. But at least some presence. The rural vote matters on statewide races and helps balance the gerrymandering. This idea that rural doesn't count is partially responsible for what got us here today. It's been a TDP unwritten mantra for several years now. Beto woke up a lot of rural vote in 18 with his barnstorming. But anyway.
  14. I like Collier. I've met him via Zoom on several occasions. He is personable and bright. That said, I really like seeing other good candidates coming forward. I like what I am seeing. I read in the Tribune article on Dowd that he'd love to work with Beto. Collier is saying the same. They don't seem to be too worried about him being a two time loser and all the other baggage some are concerned about. I look forward to seeing more of Dowd, Johnson and Collier running. That draws attention to the issues, the party, and shows that we have good people who can think, willing to serve as Texas Dems. Collier already has begun working to get more name recognition in the rural areas of the state. They are under a strong red assault now. And him announcing early and helping fight this crap will weigh in his favor for the rural vote. It's just good to see good people standing up and offering alternatives to the fascists we have in Austin presently.
  15. So I am not anywhere near as savvy as you lot in the intricacies of the game, but I enjoy your opinions. I know each player is different, but overall for the defense what are your takes on how much is it due to lack of athleticism/football savvy, unlearning old bad habits/schemes and positions (and picking up new, better ones) and coaching these guys up/scheming by the current staff? Something like 30% - 50% - 20%? I really don't know. But I am hoping it's more the middle one, and that number goes down as the season goes on.
  16. seemed to me Card got up a little gimpy after that scramble to the 1. Looked like a shoulder twinge to me. Hopefully wrong. I wonder if he felt Card might go portal and decided to call him #1 to head that off, feeling more confident that of the two Casey would be the least likely to bolt. And then he kept seeing all the line and other mistakes going on and kept Card in there to show confidence in him? I imagine all of that played into the decisions.
  17. From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it. Certainly this made perfect sense to aggy.
  18. That's racist, right? They modeled it off the Taco Bell program. My Popeye's was not too bad until this new app went into play. I've used it thrice with disastrous results. Walk up and drive up was confusing enough for them, this blew their mind
  19. This is the Bell County Republican County Chair. She's a full on GQP https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/unvaccinated-central-texas-bell-county/
  20. I'd really like to know what messages the TDP needs to be putting out. What is short and succinct and shows that's it's ok to be a Texas Dem? Not that the party is great right now, but there is just no message out there. Everything is reactive and not proactive. The TRP has a game plan, and they have some big money behind it right now. Even when you get your messaging right, especially in the rural areas the media or papers won't carry it. Social media is no go, since broadband is so sketchy. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's rather telling there is no strategy now that should be fighting back. But the bongo lapel pins will be collector's items! That is what they are afraid of and what was driving SB1.
  21. Not only white supremacy, but white male supremacy. In fact I think it's more about gender than race.
  22. cdd734159f25935e894982c56ee1f5d8.mp4 Maybe it should have gone in the FAAFO thread. Still good. Continue the MN lovefest.
