  1. It will probably be like their class attendance records, they'll pay some student smart enough to keep their mouth shut to do the work for the athlete. Leaving his only obligation to be publicity appearances.
  2. Front page above the fold on the Eagle is a big story on the 100 year anniversary of the 12th Man. The lack of self awareness is amazing. But everything in B/CS revolves around kids being aggys. No one really cares if they get a degree or even a job. Just come be a good aggy, buy lots of maroon crap, pay rent to some apartment mogul corporation and buy food at their Cane's or Chik Fil A franchise. The purpose of A&M is not for the education of good students, but for the fleecing of all. For those who do make it out and get employed, they are so full of the maroon spirit they just feed the machine. It's all hype over substance, and football and the delusions attached to it fuel it more than anything.
  3. It's not only the cheating, but the violent crap they let slide over and over again. Baylor rapers, Mixon, Tyreek Hill and on an on. Yes, football is a violent sport, but that doesn't mean off the field antics like that should be condoned just to keep that player on the field. Baylor should still be climbing out from under the rock a death penalty ruling would have sent them under. Fuck the hypocritical NCAA. Saban is good, no doubt. But he grey shirted his way into building this dynasty with some pretty shady moves. If the NCAA would have been for real and actually been intent on enforcing their own rules, we would have more parity. But they don't. And it's probably too late at this point, unless the majority of the schools rise up and demand some serious changes in rules and enforcement. Problem is most of those schools are already working in the red athletically, so where would the money come from to add the additional personnel to administer and enforce? That should be figured into every broadcast contract. And as long as the NCAA does it's job, then they keep them. But not this sham we have now. What Saban is doing right now is akin to what DKR was accused of concerning stockpiling scholarship players just to keep them from playing for other schools. So scholarship limits were instituted, and scholarship reductions were substantial parts of NCAA punishments. The difference is that back then is that most players saw college ball as the pinnacle of their career and not a stepping stone into the NFL. It will be interesting to see how NIL plays into all this. But I think even with NIL the playoffs need to be expanded. NCAA has done some pretty shitty stuff when it comes to basketball too. They do pretty well in the sports that aren't basically farm leagues for higher up professional leagues. Get the idea I think we should either push for the NCAA to do it's job, or just drop the pretenses and go fully wild, wild west?
  4. Is that a resolution, Uncle?
  5. Tomorrow at 11. AM.
  6. The kid who was shirtless in overalls and had his face buried in a yellow towel, presumably sobbing. He was rather dramatic looking. I tend to agree with Mirro on his assessment.
  7. I saw one version of the Cheyenne Social Club that had one of the girls in a lavender see thru nighty. It was Elaine Devry Probably the first tits I ever clearly saw on a TV screen. Unfortunately that was before VCRs, so there was no pause and linger available. Spoiler for mild NSFW: That had to be a fun movie to make.
  8. Yes it is. From what I got from the thread, he was on a white supremacists' training/retreat kind of trip, seemingly pretty common. He was then targeted and grooming began to utilize him as a Russian prop. Same as Trump, his ego is too big to accept he's being played. That was back in August.
  9. "Mental health is bogus hocus pocus. Made up shit by little pansies who don't get enough attention. That's why we need more guns, so we can protect ourselves from these drama queens when they go rogue. Amirite?" - any MAGA rural parent.
  10. They ought to also have her wear a surgical mask all the time that she's handwrites "I'm a dumbass selfish cunt" on.
  11. I kept thinking of the similarities in Waddle and Worthy.
  12. Finished Ep 3 earlier. Those Germans were damn bright, picking up conversational English in 2 weeks like that. Why do these studios spend so much on these productions but then never spend much on research and facts? Parts of it are really good, particularly the parts that show that it was grittier and less lawless than stereotypical western fare has pushed on us. But sure a lot of literary license being taken too. I guess it's just disappointing, again. Most mini-series are pretty loose with the facts and timeline. I'm thinking Lonesome Dove was probably most realistic to time and place. And oh yeah, Sam Elliot is good. But I can't think of anyone whose appearance changes so drastically with the removal of facial hair.
  13. I was busy keeping the spirits up in the Christmas Assembly thread. Hope everybody had a great day and enjoys the fuck outta putting all those decorations away!
  14. while she might not have aged well, she looked good in that movie. As did the other ladies in it.
  15. Grace Kelly in High Noon Jane Russell in The Outlaw Maureen O'Hara in McClintock
  16. Merry Christmas, you weirdos.
  17. Here's the latest out of B/CS media (love how they reference the 25th ranked 8-4 aggys. Oh the greatness!): For those actually interested in reading this tripe: https://theeagle.com/eedition/page-b1/page_b3a946f9-b71f-5d3a-9d52-9bd49651c228.html https://theeagle.com/eedition/page-b3/page_19393c72-1c0c-59d6-a37c-5bafb7cd7173.html
  18. Another vote for Loudermilk. He reminds me of Walter Matthau.
  19. Truly Texas Mexican. Documentary based on a book by Adan Medrano. Great ties back to the history and culture of indigenous Texas food. Anybody who enjoyed High on the Hog will enjoy this. https://trulytexasmexican.com/
  20. Glad I asked. And even more delighted you had a great answer MD.
  21. I wonder if they are still together. And if not, what she's up to these days.
  22. This goes back as far as I can remember. The only years they lost the "choke" mentality were the FedEx Jackie years. All their delusions of grandeur are based on those years. Seems we are back full circle when it comes to bag men.
  23. This. In spite of how it works and the backside of it, it was a good thing. And now it's potentially scrubbed. And it affects poor on both sides. It's just going to muddy the water even more, but in the end it will be Manchin's head on a platter. If they don't vote, then why are we seeing so many voter suppression laws and gerrymandering? Maybe in spite of decades of poll taxes and literacy tests, American minorities still believe their vote can matter, and want to cast them. Scares the hell out of white supremacists like you, doesn't it? I guess government subsidies isn't considered interference. Only regulations fall under that heading. And it seems Manchin might have got his feelings hurt. There's an audio clip of this out there, and it sure comes across as someone more interested in looking tough than actually doing his job: Manchin confidant says Biden put his FAMILY at risk with 'personalized' attacks as it's revealed White House ignored his request to be left out of statement where it named him three times Joe Manchin tore into White House staff and his fellow Democrats, blaming them for his decision to vote 'no' on Biden's signature Build Back Better bill He accused Democrats of badgering him and beating 'the living crap' out of him as they tried to get his vote He also said White House staff know the 'real reason' he's a no on the legislation 'It's not the president,' Manchin said. 'It's the staff. And they drove some things and they put some things out that were absolutely inexcusable. They know' 'They can't just beat the living crap out of people and think they'll be submissive,' he said of Democratic leadership Article gets into some good depth about the back and forth during negotiations and afterwards. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10330497/Manchin-confidant-says-Biden-FAMILY-risk-personalized-statements.html
  24. Binged on Maid the past couple of days. Thought it was really good at taking things apart, showing how each thread interacts and then bringing it all back together. And they did a good job showing DV can be more than just knocking someone around. It also did a great job showing how the system is stacked against the poor young single moms.
