Manumission accomplished!

Thank goodness for a blind albino squirrel finding a nut once in a while!

Dear UTEP- Help yourselves. Special teams coach for no extra charge if you're looking for a package deal.

Man, I like you, I think you're a good fan, and I'm glad you're a part of this forum. But you're so in the tank for this staff... It doesn't seem to matter if we're playing the Movin' Mavs intramural football team, it's never okay to expect a result out of this team in advance. God help anyone that's criticized the staff or the administration if we take a lead in the game, though. The guy makes a million a year. People can and should expect outcomes as long as he's cashing his checks.

Are these hoops even warm? Any detectable temperature rise at all?

I've been told that no student really can. He will either hate the one degree and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. I'm not an academic, but apparently it's impossible to serve two different program deans at the same time.

A moral and political evil FOR WHITE PEOPLE. He wrote in the same breath that slavery was actually good and beneficial (morally and physically better) for enslaved black people. I even cut and pasted his actual quote a little earlier in this thread.

This is what happens when your four suits aren't flame retardant.

Heard it today, thought it was hilarious. It's a funny gag, and whoever does their ads (still the Richards Group?) was obviously having fun with this one. Congrats to SMU on renewing that historical rivalry, even if I can't exactly remember all the highway connections they mentioned in their commercial. I think it's a waste of money, but it did make me laugh.

I just don't understand why someone would get so weirdly, bizarrely, specifically personal out of nowhere like that. I don't understand what prompted it. I don't understand what purpose it was meant to serve. And I sure don't understand how any of it connects to confederate statues. Shame on... you?

Can confirm. CMJ is good company. Watch out for @Shuke-D. He's a mustard fumbler. Could ruin his own pants... Could ruin yours. May be best to stay digital-only with him.

I saw a great fight. I didn't see a draw, but if you'd told me it would go to cards and Golovkin would only get jobbed by one De La Hoya judge, I'd have taken it. To me, this was an 8 to 4 round advantage for Golovkin. If you're generous, maybe 7-5. I just don't see where the rounds came from for Canelo. He fought like a lion, he ate a lot of shots from GGG, he landed plenty of his own. But I just don't know how you give Canelo a 7th round and a victory. Even an even 6-6 feels like a pretty big gift. The one thing I think anyone who saw this fight, even freaking Canelo Alvarez's crazy voodoo hand-sign throwing mother at ringside, has to agree on is that Adelaide Byrd is out of her freaking mind and should never be allowed to even attend another boxing match, much less judge one. Strong fight. Can't wait for the rematch. I think it'll come down to age. If GGG gets that rematch within the next 6 months, I think he's already taken Canelo's best shot and you could see him turning into the punch-swallowing unstoppable stalker of his prime, wearing Canelo down. But if Canelo pushes this out a year or more, a 36-37 year old Golovkin may be diminished enough to change the dynamics. Golovkin already looked a twitch or two slower, and that's not going to get any better. Great fight, terrible judge. I got my money's worth, for sure. Golovkin just didn't get his due. At least they didn't outright rob him, I guess.

Good news, then... Loma vs. Rigo on 12/9, ESPN: http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/20716838/vasyl-lomachenko-guillermo-rigondeaux-meet-dec-9-madison-square-garden Loma's great, and a lot of fun to watch. If I had to pick someone as my next boxing obsession after the inevitable Golovkin retirement in a few years... I'm guessing it'll be Erroll Spence, if for no other reason than the available opponents and quality of fights I can see him getting relative to Lomachenko. Plus, Spence seems like a really good guy, like GGG and almost nobody else that makes their living delivering and absorbing punches.

So, you've given up hope?

Awesome! Our offense had the 2nd most points in the game, too. So... Silver linings everywhere you look.

@ G. Town State - 12/20

Never? Leni Riefenstahl and DW Griffith are still integral innovators and shapers of film history. And properly contextualized, warts and all. Their movies aren't banned. They're studied and recognized for their influence on the evolution of the form. But I doubt you'll see a statue of Blackface Al anywhere. Because celebration and reverence aren't the same as keeping and understanding history.

At least Mac had the decency to steal his million in chunks instead of all at once.

Based on our last 13 years, I think we may have just flat out had our cupboard stolen and nobody bothered to report it to the cops.

I keep hearing how good Fine looks running the offense (not a shot, I just haven't seen either game this year). Put him in charge.

I've been waiting 3 years for this fight. Until the last two outings for Golovkin, I'd have said it was a 70-80% probability he ends it with a KO. Now, I worry he's aging a little and Canelo stalled long enough to make it an even money fight. Then, I remember that Golovkin literally broke Kell Brook's face in pieces and likely had the flu in that first fight where he looked mortal, and he fought smart and outpointed a note-perfect Danny Jacobs in the next one. All Canelo has done is beat up on 147 pound fighters, cherry pick the stiffest of super welter title holders, or embarrass a weight-drained JCC Jr. who was obviously just there to survive and cash a fat check. Canelo couldn't knock out Miguel Cotto, so I don't see him catching a guy who fights like a damn Terminator. The question for me is, can Golovkin catch him and put him out, or win clearly enough to get a decision (no mean feat given how favorably judges usually score for Canelo)? Canelo can't swap with Golovkin punch for punch. And he can't lay up on the ropes and wait to counter. So I don't know what happens. Styles make fights, and this could be a real classic. Canelo fighting Canelo-style means he's going to piss blood for a week and probably take a knockout loss. Canelo fighting more like Danny Jacobs? He may have the talent to take it to the cards and get a win. I can't wait. Can not wait. I'm such a GGG homer, it's tough to be objective. And I don't want Canelo (or Oscar) to get rewarded for delaying this fight so long. But I do think it could go either way, even though I expect a Golovkin win is very likely.

Estrada vs. Cuadras fight was aces.

It took 20 years and Tony Benford to do it to me, but I'm with you. Except for showing up to watch the Lamar game. Didn't bother.

Meh... Followed up the guy who was arrogant enough to think his high school staff was ready to step up and take on D1 college football, and who thought a "football plan" was all he needed no matter what level he coached at. We've had a lot of idiots run our teams. Benford, Binder Betty... Plenty of arrogance, ignorance, and incompetence in varying mix and measure in our hires.
