Only twice in last ten meetings has the game been decided by less than 14 points. One of those was 13, the other was 7. Seems this is seldom a close game regardless of who wins.

Can you imagine the reaction from Baylor and TCU fans???

Don’t tell me Wren is in Dale Hansen again🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha. Well, there was the swarm of locusts on Saturday...make of that what you will.

I’m on board with this🤣🤣

To whoever put the Jonn Candy meme on the Eagles Nest closure: I hate to see it closed, but I can’t help but smile every time I come to the forum and see “Sorry folks. The parks closed.”.

Mason was great, but come on...a God?🤣🤣🤣

Hindsight makes it much easier.

Not cruel at all in my opinion. Dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc. are terrible. As you said, long, slow death that is very hard on the family. In any event, thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May he Rest In Peace.

My posts seems like I was being a jerk now that the thread title has been edited😁 The original title was inadvertently hilarious. One little letter can sure change the meaning of a sentence🤣🤣

Glad I missed it.

It would be like every other minor league sport. Marginal interest. The NCAA is huge because people (like all of us) support “our” team. We have a vested interest in the team because we went to school there. We paid money to the school and many still so. I don’t think many on this board would be writing a check each year to the “Dallas Minor League Football Team” for season tickets, etc.

What a shame. Condolences on your loss and prayers for his family.

Let’em boycott. Plenty of kids out there who would love to take their place.

Originally you said “professional”, not “criminal”? I’m not sure sex in the workplace is ever considered professional. Well, unless you work at a massage parlor on Harry Hines🤣🤣

Where does banging your intern in the Oval Office fall on the scale?🤣🤣 Though I do agree with you that Trump can’t out of his own way. My gosh the problems he could avoid if he would just stay off Twitter.

Agreed. In my opinion, it's honoring to have a team named after you. It makes no sense that anyone would ever name a team something derogatory. I realize over time things that were once acceptable can become unacceptable, but I just can't imagine anyone during any time period naming a team a derogatory name. I personally think the Redskins logo displays the strength of the American Indian and I would hate to see it go away.

Whew! Glad my son drives a Chevy or I might think you were calling him a red neck even though you know absolutely nothing about him. I’m really glad he doesn’t live in a double-wide or you’d certainly consider him to be beneath you. I always thought “the left” was against stereotypes. You know, because they can be considered offensive and make people feel bad. I guess I was mistaken.

It’s not a white-washed narrative. It’s our country’s history. We may not not like certain parts of it, but we can’t just get rid of the parts we don’t like and act like they never existed. It’s just ridiculous to hold men of the 1700’s and 1800’s to the standards of today. Men who, by the way, founded/established this great country. Well, I always thought it was great until the last few months when I’ve been enlightened to find out it’s terrible and has been since 1776.

There’s obviously more to the decision than meets the eye. For example: I’m told that roughly 30% of all teachers are eligible for retirement. Who teaches all those classes if even 10% of those eligible to retire decide to do so? Another not so obvious issue: Substitute teachers. There is already a shortage in many districts, who subs for the teachers who get sick, etc. All that being said, I want kids in schools. A “generation” of kids are going to be so far behind: academically, socially, emotionally. (Not all kids of course, but many will be affected in one or more ways). On a personal note, my son was in an auto accident on November 9 and didn’t go back to school until January. Covid hits in March, so he basically went to school for a total of one semester his sophomore year. I’m fortunate that he got his brains from my wife, but even so that’s not the education anyone wants for their kid. The thought of him starting his a Junior year at home drives me (and him) insane.

Aren’t you glad you asked?😁

“... a literal change in history...” Sorry Skipper, but you can’t change history, literally or otherwise. Some would try, but what happened, happened and you can’t change it. Thankfully we can learn from it, unless we erase it and future generations are unable to do so. No, I didn’t read the article. It was a long day at work and I just didn’t have it in me😂😂

These are not recent, but I found them both to be educational and relevant. No left or right lean in my opinion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/a-brief-history-of-the-word-redskin-and-how-it-became-a-source-of-controversy/2016/05/19/062cd618-187f-11e6-9e16-2e5a123aac62_story.html https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/09/220654611/are-you-ready-for-some-controversy-the-history-of-redskin

That’s surprising. Mine was delivered at least two weeks ago. Hope you get it soon.
