  1. Not exactly the government taking anything away. This involved a company making a settlement within a lawsuit where they were sued by 2 individuals. The court merely approved the settlement. HOWEVER, the lawsuit itself was BS in my opinion. Most of you know I am left of most of the folks on this board and support most of the laws many of you oppose, including same sex marriages . But if a private company does not want to facilitate same sex dating or relationships, they shouldn't be forced to. In addition, as my buddy BS Wildcats points out, it is a faith-based business which brings in some freedom of religion issues as well IMO. It's akin to what we've discussed before - a preacher should be allowed to marry a same sex couple if he or she chooses; he or she also should be able to say no thanks. In the end though, you can't pin this one on the government. We will never know how it would have come out. And it seems to me an economic decision was made by the website. Sometimes the almighty dollar is more important than principles...
  2. That may be the coolest avi I have seen.
  3. ^ had forgotten this one!!
  4. Found it:
  5. True dat! I swear to God I once saw him, in a down to the wire game (lsu trailed by a score or less), try to call time out after an LSU interception (change of possession). An assistant had to jump in and stop him...true story.
  6. He never beat Mack at either place
  7. If he signs. That has to be 50/50 at best. After all, Charlie hasn't offered. I am sure he will make a decision about whether or not to let aggy have him between now and Feb. 1.
  8. I didn't mean to imply he didn't play everyone. But his substitutions varied more than this 5 playing with this 5 is what I meant, especially in the 2nd half. So when you are only playing 8 deep in the 2nd half, that's not 5 in, 5 out. His subs were different than normal in a game I saw in channelview and in the championship game, even with McCain out with injury, I can think of one kid who was in the regular rotation who played little, if any, in the 4th quarter. Again, a good coach should be able to make adjustments in any given game, which is exactly what he did.
  9. I'm not a fan of 5 in, 5 out in general in any game you are actually trying to win. I've seen coaches basically use this rotation when they were maybe only 7 deep. Sigler is deeper than 10 relative to many teams he plays and could use a 15 man rotation in many games and win going away. The one drawback no matter how deep you are is that a different set of 5 kids may mesh better on a particular night a different 5 on another. If you play 2 groups together and sub them in and out with the same 5, you won't see this. Of course when you are playing teams you will blowout regardless, it doesn't really matter. I did notice in a playoff game I attended and at State, Coach Sigler substituted in a more traditional manner and didn't play 10 kids an equal amount of time. And I think he does a tremendous job of managing the depth with which he is blessed.
  10. Oh, and I realize that was a technical and somewhat cynical answer, Nash. If you're asking me what I would do, I don't know the intricacies of her relationship with the Clintons. I think once you get past the initial legal issue, it becomes a personal moral one. To put it in perspective, I would not feel comfortable leading an investigation involving you, REBgp, or a number of people on this site who I know and with whom I am friendly. It would not be a legal obstacle but certainly a moral one to me. Therefore I would absolutely recuse myself from the situation and appoint someone independent to do the job. And hopefully one with more of a moral compass than Ken Starr
  11. If anything was discussed regarding the investigation, she has a legal and ethical obligation to appoint a special prosecutor. If it was small talk and pleasantries, no such obligation exists. Obviously when an AG has to investigate the President who appointed them, a special prosecutor should be appointed due to the inherent conflict. However, many will do so in situations like this to avoid the "appearance of impropriety." Ultimately though, all they need to do is get someone appointed who is "friendly" to their particular party and the appointed one does not hold office and is actually has less at stake professionally. The effect is often just passing the buck to accomplish a certain end without the public scrutiny to the officeholder. So to answer the question, first it really depends on what was said (legally and ethically). Second, if nothing was discussed about the investigation, whether Lynch believes she can do the job she was appointed to do without bias (which is a moral issue to me). And I think we can safely assume her position there.
  12. Prayers buddy. Take your time and you will be fine.
  13. To be fair, probably 1600 or so of those posts were completely incoherent* *to team first and other $ec folks, "incoherent" means incomprehensible** **to team first and other $ec folks, "incomprehensible" means people have no earthly idea what you were trying to say in your post
  14. As long as OU is taking our culls, they are serving their purpose...
  15. That's who I thought
  16. If it's who I think it is, he's been a Texas fan for a while.
  17. Wheatley's Trevor Moore committed to Cincinnatti this week.
  18. Texas gets a commit from Aldine Davis' Royce Hamm today. Good pickup.
  19. No no. He's talking about the Curly who does the play-by-play for Silsbee
  20. Class of 2019 goes to Silsbee hands down. 2 of top 10 [Hidden Content]
  21. Central Class of '18 loaded. 3 of greater Houston area top 30 in the same class per Top 100 Talent [Hidden Content]
  22. Poor Sumblin still getting worked by a coach with a losing record. Prime example of why aggy will always be little brother. Maybe you can leave and try and get in the NFL. That might help you "run this state"
  23. You do realize that your team comes from the state that gave us "Deliverance"?
  24. December 29th, 2014. The second biggest day in piggy history (I assume) behind their sole championship exactly 50 years earlier. And poor Bert hasn't beaten aggy either. Or is "taking aggy to OT" good enough for the hogs? If he needs help, I can probably get him Case McCoy's number...
  25. Needs to worry more about aggy than your former SWC daddy. If I'm not mistaken, arky is one team aggy hasn't lost against since joining the SEC. Although it has been closer of late than when the Ags almost hung 60 and won by half a hundred in their SEC debut against the piggies...
