  1. Edit:. My bad, if you don't get it, you aren't going to get it...
  2. Start a bunch of companies, get some investors, borrow a crapload of money, and then file for bankruptcy. Seems to be a good blueprint. You might even gain enough notariety to win a nomination for President...
  3. Not everyone can have such distinguished statesmen speak on Day 1 of their convention like the Duck Dynasty dude and Chachi Arcola...
  4. What is amazing to me is how the very few things Trump has concretely stated (as opposed to him "making America great again" and how he'll be "terrific") he would do are very expensive, government expanding propositions (I.e., building the wall, deporting millions, etc.). All the while, he plans on cutting taxes for the wealthy. Sounds economical to me. :/ Your best bet would have been for Kasich to have take little Donnie's offer to be his running mate and be in charge of domestic and foreign policy. Not sure what that would have left the Donald to do other than "making America great again."
  5. One would assume! Although there is a lot more attention on their votes than yours and mine. I've never been a big fan of the system, although I do understand it gives the smaller states a little more voice. I just don't particularly agree that they should have their voice amplified just because of their population.
  6. As I've said before, the critical votes in this election, at least according to pollsters (including GOP'ers like Luntz), will be single women. Good luck with all that
  7. The reason Hillary is considered such a favorite is the way you get elected. Electoral votes. Trump will have to win almost all of the swing states to win (which comprise about 96 electoral votes). Hillary will need about 18 of those votes.
  8. Michelle Obama killed it.
  9. He also recently picked up his 3rd D1 offer to Central Connecticut (coached by Donyell Marshall). By the way, good advice Dove, and advice that will most assuredly be heeded. The kid is constantly working his tail off with his game. And as far as humility, in this day and age where almost every kid tweets about being "blessed" with receiving an offer as soon as they receive one, I don't think Kobe mentioned a word about his most recent one. Humble to his core.
  10. By the way, Silsbee has had some great Senior classes of late in terms of athletics in general (notably Classes of '14 and '16 IMO). But this year's graduating class has the POTENTIAL to be the best of them all. Could be a really, really special year for the Tigers.
  11. This. Silsbee insiders will tell you from the time they were young, Class of 2017 and Class of 2019 are the two best. If you are looking at the best of the best on that team, only Barnes is in that group. (By the way AAW, L Tyler is 2019 I think.) I do agree with AAW about the Senior class. In terms of depth, that's the class. I would put the 2019 class with them because of McCain and Adams (and I really like the way Tyler plays as well).
  12. Close. Upcoming sophomore and senior classes are the best two, by far. But the freshman class is the best. So I have always said this year should be their best shot, or maybe year after next when the sophomores are seniors if they keep progressing.
  13. And be careful what you put on Twitter. Don't think college coaches don't monitor the social media stuff. Closely...
  14. Our coach is not a hall of famer. We realize that. He has one more season to right the ship. You guys worry about Special Les Miles. Personally, I think he is perfect for that fan base.
  15. I will give you a hint though. Vegas lines are not a prediction of the outcome of any particular game.
  16. Poor Tigger has no idea how Vegas sets its lines. What a shocker.
  17. You nailed it.
  18. He really has. Everyone knows aggy would rather be anyone's b*tch other than Texas'. I mean a century of that would be enough for anyone! Mr. BG actually nailed it though. Mizzou and Colorado having buyer's remorse...
  19. Agreed. It made for some pretty funny video but is really small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. The fact that she came out and said she wrote the speech herself (when almost NO ONE does) was a bigger faux pas to me.* But again, it's a potential First Lady. Who really cares? *Credit to Rebgp so I am not accused of plagiarism.
  20. Why is nobody actually saying what happened? Are the Drumpf's too embarrassed? Obviously they got trolled by a speech writer. Not the first time a campaign has been infiltrated...
  21. Shouldn't that be aggy or arky? I mean, neither have won any hardware since the advent of color television (or any television in aggy's case) so...oh wait, never mind, still photos don't make for good tv...my bad...
  22. No you're not. I do not know near enough of the evidence in that case to make any inference. My comment was a general one; and one shared by a large majority of the legal community if they are honest about it.
  23. Fair question. I am not sure I am the person with the answers. All men were not created equal (sorry Founding Fathers). All lawyers are not created equal. I predicated my answer with socioeconomic considerations. To me, these are probably more indicative of the level of justice you receive than race. Do you think OJ would have walked if he was poor and a nobody? What if he was a poor white dude? The answer to both of those is almost assuredly a resounding no. There were a lot of factors in that case, not the least of which is he had absolutely the best defense money could buy.
  24. Anyone who doesn't know this hasn't been around it much or is the epitome of naïveté. But it's not just race; socioeconomic factors are just as relevant if not more so.
