Good shit sir!

Just stumbled across Loudermilk a couple weeks back and find it entertaining. If you like dry comedy it might be your cup of tea. Sample: Login to view embedded media

I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives, and I like to see a man live so that his place is proud of him.
~~~~~~~~~~ Abraham Lincoln

Like many emotional responses, pride wears two faces. The healthy side of pride is humble, and with that humility comes wisdom. Prov 11:2. Another way to phrase the Lincoln quote might be to say, "Don't forget where you came from." Somebody raised us, somebody educated us, and lots of "somebodies" made up the life's experiences we've had up to now, good or bad. Healthy pride about our successes enables us to feel joyful, and to share that joy with others without being boastful. That reflects our awareness that we didn't get here alone.

The other face of pride is the one that prevents us from asking for help when we need it. Or makes us full of ourselves, looking down on others, constantly comparing our lives and our possessions to others, to make sure we're "better." Pro Tip: we'll "lose" a lot of those competitions of comparison, and satisfaction will elude us forever.

In the pursuits that really count, we never walk alone. "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve." Mark 10:45. To serve you and me,

Blessings and Peace, my friends,
NT
John 13: 1-11
In loving memory of Allen Jones, who taught life lessons in humility.

State lawmakers have proposed legislation to prevent the harvesting of does in Northern Wisconsin for four years due to declining population. According to the article, 14% fewer bucks were harvested during rifle season. But here’s the thing…their entire rifle season is less than 10 days. Archery season is nearly 4 months, but rifle season was specifically mentioned in the article. Could it be as simple as “fewer hunters were able to get in the woods during that time”? Lawmakers are blaming the hunters, but the hunters are blaming the wolf population.

The free internet is over. Almost every site that i surf either requires me to subscribe or waste my time on the most banal ads. I am specifically talking about ESPN, Fox News, CNBC, You Tube and just about any online version of a print (or formerly print) newspaper.

I pay for Apple News which gives a pretty good variety. And OB is an amazingly good source of news as breaking events are often posted immediately.

anyone have any suggestions for an aggregator of news?

Lots of numbers thrown around about what players are being paid. Does anyone really know? Heard some real bullshit numbers, and never seen a source for data.

Anything out there besides claims from “insiders”? Actual documented data?

Seeing the news about Muhammad reminds me of what a recruiting and personnel wizard Marshall Malchow at Oregon is. Malchow was arguably Lanning's most important hire at Oregon. The talent Lanning and Malchow are stacking up through recruiting and portal transfers is impressive. Oregon will be a factor in the future playoffs.

You hate to see it. I was an SI subscriber from 1985 until they started doing blatant political adds and calling them journalism.

And I'm glad I wasn't around for the fat girls and chicks with dicks swimsuit edition. The days of Elle McPherson and Kathy Ireland are LONG gone.

So sad. Used to be such a great magazine.

Oh well.

Very interesting web site....they are in on the NIL game


And a Wall Street Journal article to boot...

What can you guys tell me about them? My God daughter is thinking of applying. Thanks.

Texas beats the eff out of the toothless land thieves in their own mobile home, and my kid puts up his first 20 pt game as his team won. Am I bragging? Sure.

Looking very good in the Top 5 - But DAMN OU Sucks!

Cliffs Notes: The Longhorns beefed up its depth with the interior defensive line on Tuesday with a commitment from Arizona defensive tackle Tiaoalii Savea.

Login to view embedded media
Resume: Recorded 22 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and 3 quarterback hits for the Wildcats this season. Made three starts this season at defensive tackle.

Evaluation: The 6-4, 305-pound Saves isn't an elite big-bodied athlete, but he's a good one, which allowed him to be a solid member of the Arizona defensive line this season. Shows good athleticism and is at his best when lined up in a 3-tech or 4-tech position. Shows the ability to get good leverage off the snap, which combined with his quality burst off the ball, allows for him to knife through gaps to make plays in the backfield. Is a decent pass rusher. He's just a good, solid player.

Why it matters: The Longhorns need depth at the defensive tackle position and Saves gives the Longhorns a player that could emerge as a starter or a solid member of the rotation at the very least. New co-DE and LB coach Johnny Nansen thinks of him as a quality, dependable player. Will be a one and done player for the Longhorns after playing one full season for UCLA (2021) and two with Arizona (2022 and 2023).

Expectations: I'm kind of looking at him as an upgraded replacement for the departed Trill Carter, which means that he'll play between 25-30% of defensive snaps in 2024. Or more.

Duh

On one hand, more of Biden/Newsome's America, on the other, drugs can be a real bitch!

There's a SPECIAL PRIZE for the first OB'er that says 'Wood'.

47 yo was a high level tennis player until my early 20’s (college) . Looking to pick up a paddle to play semi-competitive until I get back in better shape.

Also want to pick up a paddle for my same age wife 5’ 100lbs. No history of tennis.

Any recs welcomed. Flames also welcomed. Trying to start something new. Thanks

Someone might let RT know that he will be seeing a lot of horns down this evening.

Regardless ou sucks. Beat the hell out of Oklahoma!

Saying good chance Sark looking another direction RE Wright, due to a sticking point.

Also saying Jabbar favoring Oregon right now. He wants to start and not be rotated, decision by Jan 30

Cliffs Notes: Tyrese Hunter went coast to coast on an inbounds pass with 5.1 seconds to go in the game and hit a driving lay-up as time expired to give the Longhorns a 75-73 win over Baylor to give Rodney terry's team its bets win of the season.

The Participants: NR/NR Texas (13-5, 2-3 Big 12) and No.9 Baylor (14-4, 3-2 Big 12)

Pre-Game KenPom Rankings: Texas (No. 48) and Baylor (No. 15)

Game MVP: Hunter came into this game slumping, but connected on 8 of 13 shots (4 of 7 from 3-point range) in scoring 21 points to lead the Longhorns to the victory.

Login to view embedded media
The Big 3: The Longhorns were led by the trio of Hunter, Max Abmas (15 points and 7 assists) and Dylan Disu (19 points), who combined for 55 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.

Key Moment: The answer is obviously Hunter's game-winner, but the drama was set up by Baylor's Jalen Bridges knocking down a tough three-point shot with 5.1 seconds remaining.

Both teams come out s-m-o-k-i-n-g: The 3s were falling for both teams early in the game as a track meet broke out, with the Longhorns knocking down 9 of its first 11 three-point shots (81.8%), while the Bears hot 5 of its first 7 three-point shots (71.4). Tyrese Hunter was 4 for 4 during the stretch, while Max Abmas was 3 of 5. It was the best half of three-point shooting for the Longhorns in the last 25 years.

It Almost Doesn't Make Sense: The Longhorns shot 64% from the floor and 81.8% from three-point range and somehow came away with only a one-point lead at halftime. In case you're wondering, the Bears shot 55.6% from the field in the first half and 58.3% from three-point land.

Thing You Need to Know: The Longhorns have been getting killed on the glass lately, but it worked hard all day and only lost the rebounding margin by two (26-24), but when the game was on the glass, they got it done.

Tracking down History: After moving into 4th place on the NCAA' all-time 3-point shots made list a couple of weeks ago, Max Abmas knocked down 3 of 8 shots from downtown today to move within 27 of third-place Travis Bader (Purdue 2010-14).

ESPN Bracketology: The Longhorns have a lot of work to do, but today was a big step towards heading in the right direction.
