Beaumont had already gotten over 10 inches of rain before today iirc

Foot injuries can become chronic if you aren't careful. When he's ready, he's ready.

SJSU sure is chugging out draft picks

While part of me is saying "ffs it's a flag pole" the other part of me is like "hooray we are only complaining about flag poles today".

Hey hey Hamilton has got a great bar scene. Not to mention the CFL hall of fame. Oh but Briles can go suck it.

Sweet! We gonna go sign our names and put our faces in it?

Here's info on the areas that are under mandatory evacuation http://rosenbergtx.gov/harvey/

Kinda funny though that Eastside is the same concept as Oak Street Drafthouse. Much like most of John Williams' scores. **Hope this site helps: http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/081417aaa.html It's possible that SMU hasn't given North Texas an allotment yet? If you're ok going through ticketmaster, we sat in the 120's last time.

This isn't about being offended. That's not where the discussion should be. (And not important but I'm Hispanic fwiw). This about the normalization of a symbol. The history of that symbol is well documented, and claiming it being southern pride is being pretty dismissive of that history. By the way, thanks everyone for being good debaters.

While your reasoning is incredibly tenuous and spurious, since the Confederate flag directly represents 1. the secession of the United States to protect southern "interests" and 2. a historical response to integration I'll just say sure I'll play along that a secessionist flag = southern pride. What does a statue of a confederate general represent? Southern pride as well? If we're going with history, where are all the Loyalist statues? Benedict Arnold High School. Charles Cornwallis Fighting Yorkies. I use my sarcasm to deflect disappointment and frustration, but I just don't buy the reasoning, man. Hey! They have good cobbler.

I know what southern pride is and I can get all that at Cracker Barrel. My question is specifically what pride does the Confederate battle flag represent?

I'd like to apologize to all the folks that think they're going to win this year.

Pride of what?

ahem. It's an eagle sitting in a nest. End zone seating is a tail. Spiriki's head *is* on the opposite end zone. Maybe it got in a fight and lost a few feathers. You should see the other eagle.

Gah! Missed it by that much. Thanks work. I'm in @Caw Caw if a spot opens up or if there's enough interest to fill up a second league.

Whatever you would like to believe the Civil War was about...whatever. The economics...of slavery. The politics...of slavery. The westward expansion...of slavery. States' rights...of slavery. Complex? Sure. I've heard all the talking points for decades. This is nothing new to me as a person of color. I've been approached and exposed to it unwillingly many a time just because of what I look like. When Lincoln won, the south lost all political control over the federal government. Because they felt they had the right to decided whatever they wanted on slavery. So they seceded from the United States. As far as Confederate battle flags go. The increased prominence in the south - including government buildings - was a direct response to Brown v Board of Education, and other Supreme Court decisions. The State of Georgia did its own study and said as much. South Carolina did the same. It wasn't a friggin secret. The governor of Arkansas literally said "blood will run in the streets" if integration in schools happened. Then he closed schools after they continued with integration. That is what the Confederate battle flag represents. People who lived through that are still around today. It isn't something new that's popped up. It has continued to live on. This isn't about heritage. What heritage and who's heritage are we talking about? This isn't about political correctness. The Confederate battle flags rose to prominence as a protest and intimidation toward racial integration. How do you think that makes us people of color feel? All they've got on me is what I look like. Not the content of my character or how my presence could potentially make their life a little brighter.

We've had Jeff Wilson fielding KRs in the past, our very best player. I'm more concerned about fatigue.

Have to remember that the scheme is different, so quick slants may not explicitly be in the rotation, they are there in one form or another. There's always a short route, an intermediate route, and a deep route. Those quick slants could be the quick out from the inside I was referencing, a shallow cross (or two) with the Mesh play, a stick route and out route with Y stick, the Y cross, RB pass to the flat. There are many flavors of the short passing game.

They would run a quick out to Kenny Buyers often last year. Scored a TD vs UTSA with that one. There was a post a while back where I pointed out that the slot *was* our most productive position last year. The slot gets plenty of looks in this offense. It's hard to tell because you have two different kinds of slot players. The Thad Thompson variety and Kenny Buyers variety last year.

Been out of town and finally got to take a good look today. Holy moly me likey. It's probably easier and more stable to put the SOW sticker on the matte helmet vs a sticker with long wings/feathers. Really really dig the feather detail in the pants and shoulders. Awesome that our coolest helmet last year (chrome) has taken a backseat to the green and matte helmet. Though I have to say the all white uni is great. Very simple. Can't wait to see all the combos in action this season.

Mention

I am a fan of the stormtrooper look, but I'm afraid it would affect our accuracy.

Distance ourselves by beating them. Need to show we can beat ooc mid majors on a consistent basis. Haven't proven that.
