  1. Took over a decade to remind all twelve of those men who daddy still is!! šŸ˜‚šŸ¤˜šŸ¼šŸ˜‚šŸ¤˜šŸ¼
  2. However, Iā€™m confused. Aggy has been telling us for years we couldnā€™t compete in SEC???
  3. To be fair, with the illegal substitution call he was arguing, as well as that call after calling timeout with 4th and goal, Elmo may be lacking as well. Having said that, give that man his 10 year/$100 Millie extension already!!
  4. Weā€™re not talking about thoseā€¦
  5. It sucks for them there is instant replay to fix correct calls. Iā€™ve always said A&M fancies themselves to be like Nebraska fansā€¦big difference being Nebraska fans know football.
  6. I was told this was going to be the loudest crowd in the history of tackle footballā€¦
  7. Iā€™ve been eating crow all half after about 3 absolutely elite throws.
  8. Read my mind buddyā€¦
  9. Texas played in the first, third and fourth most expensive ticket games this season.
  10. Thatā€™s correct. Thatā€™s before Woodville integrated in 2012.
  11. I donā€™t benefit from it, thatā€™s not my area. But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway. These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but Iā€™m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So whatā€™s the point? We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime? And I donā€™t know I can say we have ā€œcomplicatedā€ it. Which appeal should we cut out? Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck? Or do we not pay for an indigent personā€™s experts at the trial court level because itā€™s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they werenā€™t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we havenā€™t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money? Seems to me to be an obvious solution but Iā€™m more of a pragmatist.
  12. Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet? Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does ā€œget you.ā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£
  13. Aggy will end up with 4 losses, one way or another and wonā€™t make playoffs. But Super Bowl for them is next week so, as always, their season can be defined by game against big brother. See ya next Saturday Gomers!!
  14. Ole Miss OUT BAMA OUT Aggy OUT SEC it just means more šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  15. I think it was as much giving them a 99.5 yard field if we miss. But that was a big boy, ā€œwe are going to punch the best part of your team in the mouth and make you like itā€ drive.
  16. If only we had a competent backup so Quinn didnā€™t have to play hurt, looking like hammered dog šŸ’©
  17. That was an elite jinx job by the play by play guy.
  18. No need to have Quinn out there hobbling and Blue needs to be glued to the bench until he learns to protect the ball.
  19. I love defense. Been a while since Iā€™ve been able to enjoy one of ours like this one.
  20. We were just talking about he reminds us a little of David Thomas. I liked the way his last season ended. Love Helm. I think Kelvin Banks is my favorite this year. Replacing Tā€™Vondre Sweatt from last season
  21. But, but Texas gets all the calls !!
  22. I may do this next year and not leave the house. My wife couldnā€™t be more sick of my BS anywayā€¦
  23. I agree. Murder is never justified, whether done by a criminal or by the State. We should never take an innocent life if it can be avoided. And there is only one way to do that. Donā€™t kill someone if it can be avoided. (And to save a potential rabbit hole, I have no issue with self-defense or defense of others killings, whether by law enforcement or citizen.)
  24. The answer to letā€™s try not to execute innocent people isnā€™t letā€™s give them less due process. Thatā€™s the way of thinking in countries where women arenā€™t allowed to show their faces.
  25. My personal belief is that God can do great things even with lives that begin with rape or incest and there is anecdotal proof of that in both instances. Itā€™s also not me who has to carry that daily reminder to term so I get the argument in those instances. The argument that someone who is 18 and was able to fill out a voter registration form should decide whether someone gets to continue to live is an easier argument for me. But again, thatā€™s just me. Iā€™m not cool with a system where we potentially kill innocent people because they couldnā€™t afford a decent lawyer just because it makes us feel better. Especially when we have life without parole and itā€™s a less expensive option in the vast majority of cases.
