Some in state govt will pat themselves on the back that their actions prevented more from dying. Of course in reality, the best we can hope is when the state govt stays out of the way.

I wasn’t trying to make the point that they weren’t willing to pay, just that they may looking to spend differently than Ohio State or Alabama, both of which have a five star WR commitment (and to that point, so are the we, at least during this cycle). -
It's laughable how far MLB's site always goes out of its way to ignore Houston. Not that we aren't used to the shunning, but day in and day out you'll find them saying the bare minimum positive about a franchise that's on a major roll against insane odds. I assume the dismissal is per orders of the commish, but no matter the reason it's become an egregious display of bitterness. Let's win again today to annoy them even more.

Update: Interesting battle going on right now... some drier air is trying to work NW from our SE counties, and the disturbance is hanging out to our NW. The rain area is mostly north of Williamson into North Central Texas and trying hard to expand S and SE - where the dry air is at least for now dissipating much of it. As this battle goes, so will go our flooding this afternoon... if the rains can come in from the N/NW then it's a concern. If the air over ATX can keep putting it out, drier with maybe scattered lighter showers. RIght now it's a tossup but the defense is holding.

The problem with the whole package (and we experienced this exact thing in Austin with the very similar Kathie Tovo-Ora Houston affordability approach) is that it: 1) treats affordability as a bottoms up problem rather than a middle out problem, and 2) doesn’t produce affordability It’s kind of the problem with ideology politics in general- voting for for how candidates talk about things rather than the probability that they will achieve things.

Oh, the novel has a perfect beginning: "The Appointment in Samarra" (as retold by W. Somerset Maugham [1933]) There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that had jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me [Death] standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.

Cool first season. We dug it. Few eps into season 2 and i can tell why my sister said this season blew.

They want to stop financially supporting organizations like nws, NOAA, npr, etc.... that's money that can go to rich people through lower taxes. They don't even hide the fact.

It would have failed, for many of the same reasons the Pac 12 failed Thats an insane cultural disparity, and all the shit you guys talk on Big 12 schools applies more so to the Pac schools. Far away places that don’t care anywhere near as much about football. The SEC is the only place it ever made sense for UT and OU to go outside of the Big 12.

I didn't write on this because it probably needs to be better researched, but I have a feeling that Notre Dame is going after a certain fit at receiver rather than chasing after the best athlete/highest cost. it might be a good example of a team acknowledging budget limitations, but also that they don't want to have to rely on a Carnell Tate or Jeremiah Smith to have a good offense. -
His first post said he wasn't going to get into specifics, which is the wise choice.

It means what it always means to these idiot monsters. "Government" is always an other to be smothered and not a collective "we" that functions as a means to better ends. It's no coincidence that anti-government Republicans are lockstep with end-times religious fundamentalists. They see it as the end itself. The primary goal.

If the rest of these shmucks can’t get there I’m going to be sad and pissed. Of course he didn’t cap it at 18k, he said that was their goal. Make him cut a check for 20k plus 10 from here, imo.

People trying to bring the Shuttle Discovery to Texas

@RamjetFDO are they really going to pull this shit? -
Don’t worry. They’ll reward statewide leadership across the board when the time comes, by steadfastly giving them a literal vote of confidence and return them to office. Big freeze and outage. Uvalde. Kerrville. These events are Texas working as designed and intended, and we must LOVE it, because we keep returning the people who designed those policies and systems to office. The dead Texans is what tells you things are working.

Freeman is a damn good recruiter. He's going to be forminable to go against. -

It’s pretty compelling to tell a kid, this is the number we have for you, but if 2 of our guys in your room go pro because they’re likely first or second day picks, then we’ll touch base on some different numbers in December. But we’ve gotta wait until then. -

I didn't want to make my post even longer than it was, but the recruiting rankings look to be increasingly inaccurate relative to team internals (particularly if teams start diversifying player evaluations), and with the stakes getting higher (because of labor costs), smart teams are going to need to get a lot more professional about scouting and hiring. You're not going to have a Saban who tolerates a 50% wash-out rate when there's so much money tied up in first and second year players. Probably a more analytically minded organization might rate based on likelihood to contribute in year one, year two, etc., with the most compensation going for playing early (less risk). Anyway, that's a long winded explanation for why Broughton is probably overrated if he was a 2026 recruit with the same rating on the recruiting services, but if teams start prioritizing early playing time then he's not a 4 star if he has to cook for two years before he's ready for spot duty. I did think he's worth mentioning because he's very much a recent example of someone who needed to develop, and might be a good template for the back 5 or 10 players in a recruiting class in which most of the money is going to the headliners. -
This image will stick with me. The searchers are seeing things we go out of our way to avoid. I am praying for any type of miracle as Homesick Horn posted in the rain thread he is trying to confirm two girls being found alive near Centerpoint but no clue if connected to Mystic or not. Donate, search if you are able and continue to pray or send your good thoughts. That’s all we have left is the cleanup and the aftermath and a tiny bit of hope in the face of numerous pieces of bad news that continue to pile up.

Is no one going to mention two missed field goals in that Cotton Bowl? Jeff Ward doesn't when asked how that game was lost. -
the crazy part of this rivalry is that we own those bitches

Nothing you've said here disputes my original premises. Consistency is also clutch. We can always count on you for a good bump. Like a a horse dealer.

Yeah, we went to Church Mountain every Sunday, but I would not describe Camp Longhorn as a "Christian" camp. The only time religion came up was on Sunday and only at Church Mountain. I can't remember if Jewish campers participated.

If he's a downgrade from Ewers we're turbo fucked. If he's just the same level as Ewers we're fucked. Ewers was the weak link on last year's team outside of specialists. I'm expecting him to be a considerable step up from Ewers, and that may still not be a Heisman winner. If Arch is in NY for the ceremony we're the favorite for the title this season. We have that much talent on hand.
