6 of the gold medals by Texas Longhorns...more to come.

I find it EXTREMELY difficult to believe you believe that. And it's not Bush's fault. He was just not capable of being as effective as Clinton. We are all limited by our own limitations. But I am by no means saying Bush did not perform admirably in his response to New Yorkers in its aftermath. And while I agree that one's presence is not a prerequisite, I think being present can be very helpful in subsequent decision-making. And very often, it means a lot to the ones you are trying to help. In point of fact, Bush's very presence at ground zero helped energize this Country's response to one of its greatest tragedies. And although I have been very critical of him, I will say the strike he threw at Yankee Stadium was maybe the most impressive ceremonial first pitches I have ever seen.

Several hurricanes during his administration - North Carolina alone was hit several more while he was in the White House. California wildfires. Tornadoes ravaging the Tornado Alley of his youth. I seem to recall him at those in particular, on site, talking with victims. Perhaps even more telling was his assistance (and actual presence) in the aftermath of Ike (obviously after his presidency). He and Bush 1 actually came to our area to help and were instrumental in raising money after the devastation. Both because they wanted to help people hurting. I can only presume it was his leadership during these times to which the Republican Mike Huckabee was referring

As Mr. Huckabee alluded, perhaps Bush looked so bad during Katrina because the country had become accustomed to his predeceassor's leadership and hands-on decisiveness. No pun intended. And I don't think our current president has handled this situation well either for what it's worth.

Doh! Walked right into that one...

Lmao

Duke offers a top 10 in the country education and the GOAT coach. UK offers co-eds with their eyes set too close and a vast array of STDs...

Now you ARE delusional. As far as academics go, the piggies aren't in the same hemisphere as The University of Texas.

Darin Horn is one of the top assistants in CBB. Was a darn fine HC as well. As far as recruiting, I wouldn't trade Jai Lucas for anyone as far as Texas goes.
-
If it wasn't for the cash, you wouldn't have a top 2 program. Definitely have the highest salary cap in CBB.

Well gee Nash, he is from Arkansas... Oh wait!
-
Nagin is the worst of lows. Not only was he incompetent, he also decided to turn their horrific tragedies into his personal gain. I am somewhat surprised he was ever brought to justice considering the State he presided over and its long history of corruption. But thank goodness he was.
-
Even Huckabee knows Slick Willy was the GOAT!
-
Not at all
-
As opposed to returning to his ranch where he spent over a year of his presidency...or better yet, returning to his reading of The Pet Goat...Oops, wrong president, my bad.

A similar poll by ESPN talent a few years back had Austin #1. They probably prefer to not encounter this:

But if we are talking making out with relatives within the 3rd degree of consanguinity, I would have to agree. The Grove and the entire sh&)hole of a state called Mississippi has us...hands down. And I would add the folks known as Razorback Nation, who also can be seen in that cinematic classic known as Deliverance.
-
Last time we visited the Grove, I believe we hung 66 on the Reblettes. SEC strong!
-
I will be there is a couple of weeks...ready for some good-natured banter with the leprechauns!
-
Everything Austin >>>>>>>>> Everything Fayetteville! You can make some strong arguments about on the field ITT but 6th St overrated?? Get the heck outta here or get a proper guide next time you go!

Hope they get to play Cibolo Steele in that one. Steele gave Desoto their closest playoff game last year in the OT loss in the State Semis in SA. They also have the top junior in the State (IMO) and one of the best in the country in 6'7" swingman Gerald Liddell. Would be a good test for the Tigers.
-
Better question: Is it time to do a Phelps remake of this commercial? And I think maybe the most important thing to learn from this discussion is that in order to be the GOAT, you must be named Michael...

Well stated.

Back 2 School Battle, Yates HS Aug. 12-14
TxHoops replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
I am guessing Mack would have never gotten through the DC. If Yates had him and Seriale hadn't left, they would be the favorites in the region IMO. Would give them a decided advantage in the paint and the best guard in the gym. How good do you think they can be with what they have?
