I have Paramount+ but it does not look like Sunday night at 7:00 I can watch it there. How will it be aired to us to watch? TIA.

I was planning on going to see Tre Johnson in his home debut tonight but just had a family obligation come up and won’t be able to make it. I’ve got two season tickets in section 124.

If you want the tickets, send me a PM. Not looking for anything in return, just thought someone from OB would go and support the team.

Little doubt I’m one of the oldest posters here and so during this suddenly reflective time in The Corral, I’d offer a few thoughts and an appeal:

1. Many in The Forty seem almost terrified of venturing here, and The Corral’s bark is far worse than its bite.
2. Nevertheless, Ketchum has expressed concern or even shame about this forum and even, IIRC, (unwarranted) thoughts about eliminating it.
3. The people here are passionate and generally more well informed than your average OB about current events, so we have a lot to offer in a rational exchange of viewpoints.
4. I’d like to think that OBs who don’t stay as on top of the news and politics as much as we do might occasionally check in here to get a read on thoughtful commentary on breaking current events.
5. Avoid the temptation to simply read and comment on your favorite Twitter (Z) post or media outlets’ headlines, and instead delve into to the actual facts behind the headline or story or statute or court decision being debated and post accordingly.
6. Thus, I appeal to my fellow Corralsters to above all in the future, avoid the way too many stupid, immature, Aggyish, childish, ad hominem insults that do nothing to advance, but instead debase and degrade our conversations here. Call out the idiots who resort to this and who try to make this place an intellectual cesspool. And you idiots know who you are, so maybe just STFU when you feel you have to go there
7. Follow Ketch’s admonition to “be better.” I’ll certainly try to, if you will.
8. Let’s try to elevate the conversation to an actual exchange of ideas that would make The University we love so dearly proud.
9. Past my bedtime. ‘Night folks.

I waited a bit, but wanted to post a few thoughts. First, congrats to the Pubs, including all these we've been going back and forth with about the polls. You were right, up and down the line. But a few things...

1) Y'all have to give me my props. I called it for Trump at 7:30 PM last night in the thread about exit polls. I think I was the first on this board to do so.

2) For all of the talk about the polls, in general they were right. I pride myself on looking at the numbers, and I was doing so until the very end, when I let personal feelings blur the reality of what they were saying. At the end of the day, the pollsters generally fixed the problems from 2016 and 2020, and in fact they did not over correct. Trump won by a small but consistent margin most of the way across the board.

3) Texas is not purple.

4) There were a number of reasons why Trump won:

1) Biden screwed up the border all to hell, and Harris was tarred with that. When you throw in that she looks like an immigrant herself, it was a huge hurdle to overcome.
2) Silver said this today, and I agree. She tacked WAY left trying to get the nomination in 2020, and then came back to the center...but could never explain to the American people why, and where she really stood.
3) She was hamstrung from the beginning, by the lack of any primary campaign. Again, I blame Biden. Had he done what he said in 2020, and stepped away, there would have been a vigorous primary, and I think Newsom would not only have won, but would have beaten Trump. But we won't know now. Newsom is now easily the standard bearer for 2028, and watch him try to spend the next 3 years moving to the center. He's already started by forcing CA cities to clean up the homeless camps.
4) Walz was also a mistake. I think she saw "white male football coach", and thought that was a ticket balancer. But she picked one of the most liberal governors, from a state she was already going to win. Picking Shapiro wins her PA, but I still think she may have lost anyway.

5) I have come around to not thinking Trump will overstay his term. Not that he wouldn't try - he certainly might. But he could only do so with the assistance of the GOP...and while they aren't in any hurry to buck him now, that is different. Think JD Vance, for example, is going to support allowing Trump to stay in office past Jan 2029? No way. He wants that seat. And the rest of the GOP will take the opportunity to get out from underneath Trump also. Not that he hasn't delivered...because he clearly has...but because they don't want to be under his thumb.

6) The Dems have some soul searching to do. They desperately need to get the party back from the progs and the Squad. This crap of supporting trans operations for kids, boys in girls sports, etc.? We have to get the narrative back to the center. There will be an opportunity in 2026. America has a long history of having a massive flip in the midterm after one party takes full control, and if the Dems get their stuff together, it is there for them.

With all that, I'll hang around here a bit to respond, but then I'm stepping away for a while. I'll be back but going to go lick my wounds. Think of it this way. How many of you would hang around Texags and watch them gloat and celebrate if they knock us out of the playoff? Nope.

This guy is a national treasure. He will be sorely missed when he is gone.

What we’re seeing right now in college football microcosm of society these days, no loyalty or patience while you put in the work to achieve a greater outcome or goal.

Over a decade ago, I was blessed enough to get a job offer with a great company at a competitive salary coming out of college with my engineering degree. I’ve remained loyal to that company, been promoted multiple times and have more than doubled my salary. Not to mention grown my 401k and pension significantly.

This instant gratification world we live in just has kids spinning their wheels always looking for the next high, instead of putting in the work and allowing the pay off to come.

I get the idea of not getting ripped off, but overall my point still stands.

Did they choose that name, or is it some sort of series that does shows on different teams?


If they chose that name, how long until the words "Checking for" are added to the title?

The answer is probably yes when using the term “ever.” But the realistic candidates seem to Notre Dame, Miami, FSU and Clemson, and it’s hard to see them keeping up with with SEC and Big 10 financially.

So maybe a team outside of those two conferences luck into a title once every 25 years or so?

Of course, we will likely see the end of conferences altogether before a non SEC or Big 10 team wins a title.

Uncalled penalties and a few called ones every play that drive wow

Two missed ones on the two point attempt

well earned. She did a fantastic job as his campaign manager and kept him in line.

First woman ever appointed for that position. Not bad considering her boss was hated on as a sexiest person who hates women and against women's rights.

Does anybody have a wealth management person/group you can recommend? I need a broker and someone to provide big picture long-term financial planning services.

I don't usually seek a lot of hand holding. Thank you.

I'm sitting here soaking up the win and thinking. One of the most significant issues in this election was the immigration mess that the Left caused. And yes, they caused it starting on day one when they decided to rescind every Trump border policy that was in place. By doing so, millions of unvetted individuals poured into our country. Our friends up north thought nothing of it because it did not affect them. They never experienced what the southern states did.

In comes Abbott. His decision to start busing these migrants and dropping them off in the so-called sanctuary cities blew the lid off this issue. Suddenly, these liberal and self-proclaimed sanctuary cities got just a tiny taste of what the border states have been dealing with for some time. The problem was no longer "out of sight, out of mind," and they did not like it. Governor Abbott made this a national issue, and it came back and bit the Left right smack in the ass.

Well played Abbott. Respect...

Yet in the 2010s and early 2020s, conservative parties in numerous democracies have been hijacked by unconservative leaders such as Donald Trump and have been transformed into radical revolutionary parties. Instead of doing their best to conserve existing institutions and traditions, the new brand of conservative parties like the U.S. Republican Party is highly suspicious of them. For example, they reject the traditional respect owed to scientists, civil servants, and other serving elites, and view them instead with contempt. They similarly attack fundamental democratic institutions and traditions such as elections, refusing to concede defeat and transfer power graciously. Instead of a Burkean program of conservation, the Trumpian program talks more of destroying existing institutions and revolutionizing society. The founding movement of Burkean conservatism was the storming of the Bastille, which Burke viewed with horror. On January 6, 2021, many Trump supporters observed the storming of the U.S. Capitol with enthusiasm. Trump supporters may explain that existing institutions are so dysfunctional that there is just no alternative to destroying them and building entirely new structures from scratch. But irrespective of whether this view is right or wrong, this is a quintessential revolutionary rather than conservative view. The conservative suicide has taken progressives utterly by surprise and has forced progressive parties like the U.S. Democratic Party to become the guardians of the old order and of established institutions.

Lacey finished up #5 out of 20 which is GREAT.

He finished up #1 for Best Footwork.

"KJ Lacey showed some of the quickest and most coordinated feet at the Elite 11 Finals," On3 wrote. "The Texas commit was able to get good depth on his drops in addition to moving well in scenarios that asked for the quarterbacks to get outside of the pocket. While not an overwhelming rush threat, Lacey backs up the movement skills we saw at the Elite 11 Finals on Friday nights as an improvisational player behind the line of scrimmage."

I have 2 tickets in section 103, row 26. 25 yard line, with seat backs.

$250 total for the pair.

Source that confirmed it to me used the word "dismissed". Still working on the details, but the former 5-star program is no longer with the team.

Reporter shows up at a cemetery in Uvalde and that is mad people are keeping him away
