  1. And likewise I am sure you guys will have no problem with the Dems trying to block Trump appointments, etc
  2. Or Obama just puts Garland on the Court on January 3 which would be good until the end of next year. I mean that would relieve the Senate of having to do a job they've obviously been too busy to do. Then, of course, a year of filibustering and delays and then see what happens with the midterms. With Trump at the helm, what could possibly go wrong right?
  3. But how many does it take to bust a filibuster short of the "nuclear option"? The answer is likely 8 more votes than the seats they hold. The nuclear option has never been used for high court nominations (and would go against Senate precedent) but is certainly a possibility and could also result in litigation.
  4. So did Esther's. Wasn't my favorite seafood joint but I did really like it. And my kids loved the whole experience there. I miss that place.
  5. Haha! You have to learn from who beat you. Although I wholeheartedly disagree with what the pubs did, I guess in a way they drew the line. I say 4-8 years worth of filibusters sounds about right. The sitting 8 will do just fine. Just hope the old bird can hang on that long...
  6. Charlie has been coaching for his job for most of the year. The next two games were going to be more of the same. But I believe Herman was auditioning for the job he covets tonight. And I predict he will be doing some New Year home shopping in Westlake or Lake Travis. And bringing back some familiar faces to our Capital city.
  7. I think HF was on their schedule somewhere... Sorry, I miss Mr. Buddy Garrity
  8. I'm sure Ray Forsett will have a uniform and a pair of sneakers for him...
  9. If only he could swag it up after those September wins in the locker room. Yessir that's a keeper you fellas have! In typical aggy fashion, you Gomers hire the one turd in the Cougar high punch bowl and lock him up at 5 mil a year...one of the surest things in this life - aggy gonna aggy!
  10. This is very bad news for Charlie. The trigger fingers are getting happier in Austin...
  11. Ruh roh Charlie. Big Game Tom is gunning for yo job!
  12. Played him this summer (he was playing for Wes Grandstaff's team). That kid is the truth.
  13. A good start would have to admit he made a COLOSSAL mistake in letting Duane Akina go when he got the job and to beg him to come back from Stanford. Best position coach we had who put player after player in the league. Ironically, our secondary has sucked ever since. To be a top notch coach, you have to be able to evaluate and coach your coaches.
  14. 'Member when we thought Manny was the worst DC in Texas history...before we got Bedford...I 'member.
  15. I tend to agree with you. I really don't know anyone that works harder than that kid either.
  16. That was the knock coming out of high school, despite being able to score against bigger guys in summer ball (I saw one game against Myle Turner where he was surprisingly efficient). My concerns were alleviated his freshman year at UNO when they played A&M at CS over the Thanksgiving break. He scored on 2 or 3 consecutive possessions from the block against a 6-10 center. Having those wide McHale like shoulders helps. And his moves remind me a bit of McHale as well. If he had those 4 extra inches of height...
  17. Coach Davis has tremendously upgraded the Hawks schedule since taking over. And although this turned out to be a "walk" for HJ, I don't think scheduling former district rival (who is a playoff team more often than not recently) was a stretch.
  18. Agreed. I've been very impressed with Tic so far. I thought he was a home run hire when they brought him in and still hopeful he will be.
  19. What I hear is he has to win both of the remaining games to have a chance. That depends on some other variables as well. For instance, my personal belief is if U of H were to beat Louisville tonight, winning out may not even get it done for him.
  20. Huge early win for the Cards and Coach Price to start the season 2-0! Hopefully they can keep it going on the West Coast and pick up another W against Fresno on Saturday. P.S. Thank you Patricia Knight for making us wait 2 years to see Weisbrod play for Lamar. FYI, the kid is pretty good.
  21. Yep! Bring the chain gang D to Austin!
  22. Peterson is easily a Top 5 coach in the country period. Boise St? Boise St was a perennial BCS threat and competitive when they got there. And then what he has done at U Dub. Having said that, he is not going anywhere. The northwest is where he needs to live due to climate for his son. He's not leaving that region or Washington. If he was so inclined, the only other job would be to travel south all the way down to Oregon. Dabo will wait his time where he is. The only spot he will leave for is to his alma mater when King Nick retires (or if he goes and takes another shot in the League).
  23. Cornel Thompson. The best in the biz.
  24. Lamar playing the Beavers on PAC 12 Network. Cards led by 4 at half and lead by 4 early in 2nd H. Colton Weisbrod with 8 and 5 in the first half.
