Too funny (and too true)...

Buddy G - the twins have played their best basketball of the season the last two weeks (by far). This looks like a team coming together at the right time. And who wouldn't rather see one of the sport's best rivalries in the sweet 16? Already looking forward to it!

  I had Harvard.  Tommy Amaker has done a hell of a job with that program.    Unfortunately, Dayton beating Ohio St. and ND St. beating OU ruined my perfect bracket.  Figures...can't stand either one of those teams.  

We've actually lost less than we expected.  Those boys have been through boot camp.  Expected much more attrition.  Something tells me little brother over in B/CS isn't going to be laughing at the product on the field.  Mark my words, you are going to see a very physical team under Strong.  The country club days are over under this regime.  I would be more concerned about the state of your team after a tie for 7th place finish (with powerhouse Vanderbilt) with the greatest QB in the history of your program...

I like Izzo and Sparty to bring it home.

I've seen Jared a few times. Definitely big time.

I saw that live. Who was the kid that threw that nice no look lob?? ;) By the way, first time seeing De'Aaron Fox in person. Wow.

  I agree but they only have themselves to blame.  No excuse in hoops not to schedule some strong teams.  30+ games and no one is afraid of a loss.  The big programs have learned to err on the side of strength of schedule with the NCAA Selections Committee.  That's what got an NC St team in over SMU.  Hopefully, Larry Brown is in the process of righting that wrong.  I would bet he is.  

Harrison twins looked amazing against UGA in semis. If they find their stride, look out.

I thought Scott was the kid that was receiving rave reviews in offseason workouts. I could be wrong. If so, that's a big loss.

Definitely the place to be this weekend. All the top teams in the greater Houston area plus many around the State and surrounding states. Good luck Bigcam and the Blazers!

  Hmmm, desperation...kind of like finding a couple of MNCs over last summer.  You know, the ones no other self-respecting school with a strong history claims?  The funniest part was that you left one out, just to make it not sooo obvious you were DESPERATELY trying to keep up with the Joneses.  Otherwise, you would have mysteriously had the same number as The University of Texas has in real ones.  Yeah that worked.   I wonder if the school you call desperate will do the same thing to jack our number up to 15 national championships?  No, no one else is THAT pathetic.  Lol

The butt hurt among Aggies over the LHN is still strong, my friends.  As Exhibit 1, I present this thread. 

I don't know about "top" backup. Colt McCoy is a backup for the 9ers.

Yes, because Clinton's improprieties were swept under the rug by the "liberal media." They weren't front page stories for months. They weren't talked about during his campaign either. Do you really believe the stuff you say? Smh... As for Herman Cain, I don't recall the Dems making a decision on his candidacy. Did I miss where he secured the nomination from his party? I realize this is a bigger issue with the radical right - and people are free to make their voting decisions are whatever criteria they choose. But to suggest his fate was determined by the Democrats is disingenuous at best. Perhaps the "kool alders" are voting in the same primary as you are?

Lol. A democrat's dream...

To say the least. I hope Northoftheborder is right about the new regime. Time will tell.

And for the record, I don't quibble with anything you said after the first sentence.  On top of those well taken points, this is America...companies should be free to make as much money as they desire within the laws. 

  Technically, you are correct.  However, as I am sure you know, gas prices are derivative of a significant part of oil companies' profitability. 

  C'mon buddy.  There are a dozen QBs from Texas starting in the NFL.  Another ten or so are backups.  And I am proud to say ONE of those backups at least is a Longhorn.  How could you have doubts after hearing that????  ;)

Got to $3.95 during Bush's admin. $3.85 is highest point during Obama. For the most part, the gas prices during both administrations have mirrored each other. Not defending either. Just the facts, sir.

Can you enlighten me on the profits made by Big Oil during the huge rise in gas prices during the Bush Administration? Surely they were having a rough go of it and merely passing some of their losses on to the consumer?

Punctuation is your friend. And I am not listening to anyone. That's your problem, not mine. I prefer reading.

You are wasting your breath. 10,000 scientists across the world can cite empirical data but if Rush Limbaugh finds one study from a couple of renegades, it's a hoax.

But to answer your question, after reading your edit, you are not all wrong in your statement. It is a little misguided though. Without getting into the merits of the gun issue, your point about $ works in favor of gun proponents. There may not be a better funded lobby than the gun folks.
