Read my mind buddy…

Texas played in the first, third and fourth most expensive ticket games this season.

That’s correct. That’s before Woodville integrated in 2012.

I don’t benefit from it, that’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 I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point? We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime? And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” 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 person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money? Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.

Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet? Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣

Aggy will end up with 4 losses, one way or another and won’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!!

Ole Miss OUT BAMA OUT Aggy OUT SEC it just means more 😂😂😂😂😂

I think it was as much giving them a 99.5 yard field if we miss. But that was a big boy, “we are going to punch the best part of your team in the mouth and make you like it” drive.

If only we had a competent backup so Quinn didn’t have to play hurt, looking like hammered dog 💩

That was an elite jinx job by the play by play guy.

No need to have Quinn out there hobbling and Blue needs to be glued to the bench until he learns to protect the ball.

I love defense. Been a while since I’ve been able to enjoy one of ours like this one.

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 T’Vondre Sweatt from last season

But, but Texas gets all the calls !!

I may do this next year and not leave the house. My wife couldn’t be more sick of my BS anyway…

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. Don’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.)

The answer to let’s try not to execute innocent people isn’t let’s give them less due process. That’s the way of thinking in countries where women aren’t allowed to show their faces.

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. It’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, that’s just me. I’m not cool with a system where we potentially kill innocent people because they couldn’t afford a decent lawyer just because it makes us feel better. Especially when we have life without parole and it’s a less expensive option in the vast majority of cases.

I believe God should bring us into the world and take us out of the world. When man decides to play God, problems arise. Some just choose when they believe they should decide and when they shouldn’t. That’s at least one thing I won’t have to answer for. Oh, and we’ve also executed plenty of innocent people in this country. So there’s that…

This is all correct.

Well we can now move past that trolling nomination (and for the record, no one appreciates a good troll more than me). A lot of speculation that this was an elite chess move by Trump to get Gaetz to resign since he basically doesn’t get along with anyone in Congress and he knew he had zero chance in getting him and his joker-esque eyebrows confirmed anyway. If so, well played Mr. President, well played. Makes a lot more sense from that perspective.

Lol! That’s an excellent point. There will be several members of the bar who act upon his nomination. I don’t know how many of them I would consider real lawyers though 😃

There is TDS and there is TWS and they are equally dangerous in my opinion. Gaetz getting that appointment was nothing more than payback for his unwavering support. You could probably poll the members of the bar of this country and that appointment would get less approval than Biden leaving office. Much like Thomas was used as an example above, maybe the biggest DEI appointment failure in the history of this country. He will almost certainly go down as the WOAT on the high court. Don’t believe me, ask Scalia when you get to heaven.

This one will have plenty of opposition within the party, his main attribute being his loyalty to Trump, which appears to be good enough for other loyalists as well. The fact that he believed this to be best choice for the nation’s top lawyer would be troubling for most. Then again, I doubt very seriously he thought this guy was in the top 100, top 1000, etc of the most qualified for this appointment.

Let’s go Indians!
