So the charlatans that , in unison, promised you the jab was safe when it wasn't
that it protected you, when it didn't
that it stopped the spread, which it didn't

and the lemmings that were all too eager to restrict the un-vaxxed access to speech and discourse, goods and services , travel and access (Liberals) and even access alternate
medications that would have saved their lives. (millions) ...now after all these abominations, these same people don't apologize or acknowledge their "conspiracy theory claims"
or now the alarming number of deaths, cancers and health related problems directly tied to the vaccine

it is yet another complete exposure of the greed, incompetence and total corruption in our federal government and its allies ...and it continues now with the complicit media being silent
about the negative impacts of their mandated efforts

These actions and these actions alone are enough to warrant a complete rebuild of the administrative state...the enlightened citizen who is preoccupied with TDS to the point of absurdity, completely ignores
this murderous unfolding and says nothing

if you are counting at home and still want to cite "conspiracy theories" about things that you 1) don't know anything about 2) don't want to find out the alternative realities

Conspiracy Theories

1) Covid origins
2) Vaccination benefits
3) Russia Collusion
4) 2020 election results
5) J6 the "unarmed coup "and the deletion and suppression of direct evidence
6) global warming ( clintel.org)
7) border is safe and secure ( hey a familiar refrain)
8) Israel is the problem in the Middle East
9) Hunter BIdens laptop is disinformation
10) DEI is not a Marxist foothold in our education system
11) the entirety of the transgender movement and media support
12) the 2 tiered justice system and weaponizing of government against political opponents


just one, any one of the above, if perpetrated by Republicans onto Democrats , would be a complete multi month news avalanche, complete with Congressional investigations, faux outrage and the predictable staged temper tamper cocktail including equal parts of nonspecific reasoning , racism, white privilege and 1 dash of" we must act now"

and then look at our fiscal policies, energy policies, immigration issues and cost of everything skyrocketing while services and quality go down all while your surroundings become more unsafe

classic Marxism - 5% of population ( the self appointed puppet masters getting filthy rich) and the 95% of truly, gullible , emotionally damaged , lemmings who are too stupid to ever realize the committed routine in place and eagerly willing to scream about the injustices and inequities , thinking governemnt is the answer .

@Ketchum where can we find the Modcast? I don’t see them on the YT channel.

Ok so it seems like the experiment is a fail and we are gonna look like non-Omaha douches if we don’t get a real pitching coach

I needed a fix.
How long to football season?

One of my younger sons is interested in being a pilot. He has Type 1 Juvenille Diabetes so he can’t join the Air Force, but can become a pilot.

My buddy who is a C-32 pilot recommended I look into putting him in the Civil Air Patrol.

Have any of you or your children participated?

Do you have any youth aviation programs you’d recommend?

FRI game has been moved up to 6pm due to weather.






The last time that the Texas Longhorns saw Washington, this was view. Sadness permeated throughout Longhorn nation. While it is two completely different sports and scenarios, the Horns should be able to see the Horns beat Washington this season, though it will not bring anywhere near the amount of joy that a Sugar Bowl win would have created. Regardless, mission remains the same, beat the Huskies.

The Washington series allows the Horns to step out of conference for a weekend as they continue their 10 game home stand. The one hiccup this weekend could be the weather though, as there is a strong possibility of rain on Friday and the last thing this Longhorn bullpen needs is a double header.


#23 TEXAS LONGHORNS vs. WASHINGTON HUSKIES
Date: March 15-17
Where: Disch-Falk Field
Time: Friday @ 6pm; Saturday @ 230pm; Sunday @ 1pm
TV: LHN


RECORDS:

• Texas 10-6 (2-1 Big 12)
• Washington 4-7-1 (1-2 Pac 12)

RPI / SOS:

• Texas: 9 / 1
• Washington: 151 / 60

Texas Quadrant Records:
Q1 (5-4); Q2 (0-1); Q3 (4-1); Q5 (1-0)

Washington Quadrant Records:
Q1 (1-0); Q2 (0-1); Q3 (2-4); Q4 (1-2-1)



SERIES MATCHUP:

• Texas and Washington have never met before on the baseball diamond, this season being the first

Washington Season to Date:

• Lost first two games of season to Long Beach State and then had game three called a tie at 3-3 in the 17th inning
• Lost to Pitt
• Beat Texas A&M Corpus-Christi
• Beat Maryland
• Lost 2 of 3 to Santa Clara
• Lost 2 of 3 to Stanford

Overall, the Huskies have played in a lot of close games with 5 of their 12 games being one-run games. Overall, the Huskies are not giving up many runs a game (4.25 against), but they also are not scoring many runs for (4.41). Interestingly enough, Washington has not played a single mid-week game yet, only weekend three game series.

Preseason, the Huskies were picked to finish 7th out of 11 teams in the Pac12 and were not projected to be a Regional team, as the Huskies will likely take a step back from their 35-20 finish in 2023.

From the 2023 squad, the Huskies lost four of their top home run hitters and two impact weekend arms.

The Huskies did return two all-conference players in AJ Guerrero and Cam Clayton. Unfortunately, both hitters have struggled to start the 2024 season and are hitting 100 points less than where they finished in 2023 and it isn't just batting average. Both players are struggling to get on base and impact the offense with RBIs and other production.

On the pitching front, 95% of the innings pitched have come from just seven pitchers so far this season, so the sooner that the Horns can get into the bullpen will be vital for success.



PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUPS
FRIDAY–Texas RHP Lebarron Johnson Jr. (1-1. 3.54) vs. Jared Engman (0-3, 4.12)

LOOK AT THE NUMBERS




PREDICTION
Texas sweeps series 3-0


Here is how the predictions have faired so far this season:

San Diego: 3-0 (Horns went 2-1)
Houston Christian: 1-0 (Horns went 1-0)
Cal Poly: 3-0 (Horns went 3-0)
St Johns: 1-0 (Horns went 1-0)
LSU: 0-1 (Horns went 0-1)
Texas State: 1-0 (Horns went 0-1)
Vandy: 0-1 (Horns went 0-1)
Texas A&M: 0-1 (Horns went 0-1)
Texas Tech: 1-2 (Horns went 2-1)
Incarnate Word: 1-0 (Horns went 1-0)

I predicted the Horns would be 11-5 at this point...instead they are 10-6

What a weekend of college baseball!!!

Was telling my kid some old recruiting stories but went blank on this one. Thanks

Winner of the Palme d’Or, the highest prize, at Cannes this year. I saw it in the theater earlier tonight and was thoroughly impressed. As one critic noted, it almost felt more like literature than cinema. @Ketchum I’m sure you’ll want to check this one out in the theater.

Guys We Gotta Do Something!

Asked me to sell it to him.

So I grabbed the laptop , put it under my arm, walked out and went home.

Eventually the guy called me and said, “I want my laptop back!

I replied, “Great! $200.00 and it’s all yours!”

Haven’t read it yet but how does that make sense?

SIAP, as the father of a former female college athlete, I'm supporting these women 100%.

He is a graduate of UT in accounting. He has always been a huge fan of football and basketball at Texas. He watches every game.

He said that the reason why we are losing games in the second half is because of poor conditioning in practice and bad rotation of players during the game. Shooting and defense both suffer with fatigue. I tend to agree with this.

What do yaw think?

Login to view embedded media Cutting onions early this morning when I saw this. Thought to post; Horns have great ambassador in Jordan & puts things into perspective. God Bless!

I’m going to be driving to CO and stopping overnight in Amarillo. I’m looking for a hotel and hopefully a great breakfast spot close by.

Any suggestions for the breakfast spot?

Hard to believe it’s already been that long

RIP GOAT
