So excited for our Aggies - Mr. TiFW and I were sure they were gonna get their clocks cleaned in the SEC, but they have stepped up to the challenge. What a game!
Wish we still played t.u. on Thanksgiving, but they decided to take their ball and go home.
Which is a shame, really - it was a fun rivalry.
At least our household has one thing to celebrate this week. I may need to check out the titles on the Sunday Book Thread - time to stop being a producer and start being a moocher.
All those Obama voters are about to get what they "wanted" - good and hard.

I figure everyone is entitled to whatever they need to deal with crappy reality, BUT....
The Left believes everything is political and in utopian ideas which fail 99.999999999999% of the time if implemented over enough time. Going "off the grid" isn't going to teach anyone basic economics or math. It's not going to write a letter to the editor or make a smart comment which debunks some lefty idiot writer.
Obama won 51-48 in New York.
Maybe it's not time to panic and give up on every limited government principle. Or to start blaming ethnic groups, especially when 30% of them voted for your guy.

Darrell Royal died last week. He was honored in several moving ways Saturday at the Iowa State game. Best best one was that the Horns lined up in the Wishbone T for their first play on offense...on their own 6 yard line no less. Tricky play (double pass) went for 47 yards and the crowd ROARED.
Beating Iowa State handily was a great memorial for Royal as well.
I've always felt an extra kinship with Royal...he and I arrived at UT the same year.

333,000 votes in the swing states could have swung the election to Romney possibly?
And those of you that do not think massive voter fraud by the Democrats doesn't go on, then you must believe in all those 112 year old citizens that registered to vote for the first time. You must also believe the dead didn't for Kennedy in 1960.

"They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something”
On Friday about 3,000 people in Chicago lined up at a municipal jobs fair for 55 posted job openings.
... some of them waiting in line for up to six hours – hoping to apply for work with the city, but many left frustrated after learning the only way to apply for a job was to go online.
WBBM NewsradioÂ’s Bernie Tafoya reports Mayor Rahm Emanuel stopped by the job fair, expecting a warm welcome from job seekers, but instead ran into lots of ticked-off people.
Rodney Booker said, “I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something.

It has been generally accepted for some time that anything over 100 comments, or on a slow/dying thread, that any topic is up or grabs.
It's probably not the OT as much as the "homosexualized" remark.

This guy's a clown, but the bright spot is that he showed up and stood in line for hours to apply for a job, so I wouldn't be too hard on him.
Who the fuck holds a job fair for only a handful of jobs and doesn't even have a means for interviewing or weeding out the interested parties?
Having a few computers available might have been a good idea.

George Takei on Facebook has posted a picture of three soldiers of the Old Guard standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknown and saluted the Americans in internment camps who volunteered to defend the United States in World War II - the 442nd Regimental Combat Team to be exact.
Many of the comments show how this country has been lost to the moochers. People wondering why the Old Guard is in the rain since the monument isn't going anywhere. Or how about US soldiers have never defended freedom since the Revolution.

Parents have stopped talking to their children about 'honor' and 'pride' and 'service'.
Now it's I'm gonna git mine! and They gonna RESPECT me!
Cheating is excused because...
"everyone else is doing it"
"it's a competitive world out there"
"that's how the REAL world works"
Seldom do you see a young person drawn to a challenge for the sake of the challenge or for the joy of the work/experience itself.
Instead, they humiliate themselves by doing every conceivable thing on camera in the hopes of striking it big in t.v./internet/pron because being famous is more important than anything else.
I know that this is not absolute, and there are great kids out there, I just wish like hell we saw more of them.

Every time I turn on the TV, I turn it off again 5 minutes later. The whole ESPN thing turns me off. Ex-athletes pontificating about fat ass contracts, speculating about who's done, referee strikes, etc. etc. It seems so distracting. Like opiate for the masses.
Is it too early to start drinking?
_________________________________________________________-
I hear you re:ESPN... Moron ex-players who can't even spell their names pontificating about player/management labor relations. If you couldn't catch a football you'd be on welfare or cleaning toilets. I think I'll pass on your "expertise" Deion.
Team sports same thing. It's infuriating that 40% of people have never heard of Benghazi but that same 40% can tell you how many yards so and so caught in 2004 or who was the Rookie of the Year in 1993.

#105 - I agree there was fraud but also believe that is shouldn't have been close enough to matter. Seeing articles that the GOP (and most of us) after 2010 expected D+2 or 3 at worst which meant R win when it turned out to be D+6 which even Dave in FL's model said O win. Question is why D+6 instead of D+3?
This is a football thread so I don't want to hijack it with election stuff but that is where it is

@156 - What's the thought on MRE's (meals ready to eat). Are they worth the investment or do they suck?
MREs are good nutrition, and they last 5 years or more, but they are expensive. And, they make "bland" an understatement. For the short term, you would probably do better buying staples and canned goods from the local grocery stores.
