April 16, 20241 yr Billy is being measured with his Texas bashing. Those two guys keep wanting to have a guest that says Texas is going to suck against the SEC. They say it constantly until it comes to them predicting the Texas record then they always say Texas will be 10-2 or 11-1.

Preview includes looch criticizing Sark's new contract Billy Liucci Talks texas a&m vs Texas, NIL Truths, Coaching Search 2 days ago That SEC Podcast My 1-year-old woke me up early this morning, and I read this post and tuned in to the Texas bashing portion of this video. Got in the shower and made sure I had Liucci talking about Texas not being aware of how hard the SEC schedule is. I can’t tell you how much I eat that up. I want Liucci to live forever. The “They’ll see” narrative is poetry to me. I don’t expect any Aggies, nor any other SEC team fans to know it, but this isn’t the 2010s anymore and it’s gonna be beautiful when we predictably push their shit in in our first year in their beloved conference.

Plus, he talks about us playing in stadiums week after week filled with rabid fans. I got news for you, William, we play in stadiums like that every week already. I went up to Wyoming for the game there in 2009. The stadium was packed and the fans were wildly enthusiastic. I asked one of the Wyo Cowboys sitting beside me if it was like that every week, I was impressed. "Nah. The place is usually about half full but not when Texas is coming to town." I'm sure the Aggies have faced many half-full stadiums in their history because...well, because they're the Aggies and nobody cares that much about them nor is their any historic prestige to having a win against them. We're known everywhere, and everyone wants to be able to say they beat us that one time. Hell, when we were awful Macovic's last year, the stock price for companies that made goalposts must have shot way up. We were bad and we played in front of full stadiums where the goalposts were torn down whenever we lost. Baylor tore down their goalposts when they beat the Aggies, but I'm pretty sure nobody else ever has. Nobody cares that much. Well, unless they've got a facilities fetish.

Written in 2011, when we were all young and innocent and didn't need to take our metamucil. Poor kid got banned from Tech for awhile but eventually went to school there and graduated. Quote "My dad was a school teacher and the superintendent called my dad," Valdez said. "I thought it was pretty cool and then when I went to volunteer at the Spirit Arena the Wednesday or Thursday at the basketball game two Tech police officers came up there. "I got a notice served that I was banned from all Tech property indefinitely… The Kiss concert was coming up soon and I was looking forward to that and didn't end up getting to go. The forums and websites took over at that time too. I was 12 or 13 and I was bummed out because I had always wanted to go to Tech. They kind of turned it around completely on the websites and it kind of developed into its own character." Looks like this is his Insta. Can only be judged by Mike Leach, apparently.

April 18, 20241 yr In an earlier office I worked in, I introduced my self to a woman on one of my first days. She's middle age and working in a cubicle with her framed law degree clinging to the cloth wall. There's the usual tonnage of Aggie stuff around in case there was any doubt (I don't recall where the law degree was from). "Hi, I'm RomaVicta. Nice to meet you. Looks like you went to A&M." "Yes, I did, where did you go?" "Texas here in Austin-" "Ewwwww." "- a long time ago." She got friendlier, and I was never anything but friendly. I didn't say, "you must be a pretty big time lawyer to be working in a state cubicle pulling down middle five figures!" Like most fellow Longhorns I've worked with, you usually don't know it until you ask or it comes up in some natural context like a discussion of college sports. Usually low key. I searched the cubicle warren for a Texas Law School diploma, but didn't find one from there or anywhere else. I guess there were none, or they were smart/embarrassed enough not to hang it.

(/jules) from the report with the endorsement stamp of HOMELAND SECURITY: https://cybercemetery.unt.edu/archive/oilspill/20121006230807/http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/publications/tr-133.pdf SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The 1999 Bonfire collapsed due to a number of both physical and organizational factors. Structurally, the collapse was driven by a containment failure in the first stack of logs. Two primary factors caused this failure: the first was excessive internal stresses driven primarily by aggressive wedging of second stack logs into the first stack. The second was inadequate containment strength. The wiring used to tie the logs together provided insufficient binding strength. Also, steel cables, which in recent years had been wrapped around the first stack, were not used in 1999, further reducing containment strength. These two factors – excessive internal stresses and weakened containment strength – combined to cause the collapse. The physical failure and causal factors were driven by an organizational failure. This failure, which had its roots in decisions and actions by both students and University officials over many years, created an environment in which a complex and dangerous structure was allowed to be built without adequate physical or engineering controls. This organizational failure is complex but includes such things as the absence of an appropriate written design or design process, cultural bias impeding risk identification, and the lack of a proactive risk management approach. in other words, 99 was not an ACCIDENT
