Right after Jimbo was hired I had a conversation with a group of aggy. They were all talking shit about how this hire is the game changer and would propel them to national prominence forever and they would replace UT as the football power in the state. Finally I spoke up and asked them why they thought the SEC invited them to join their conference. Not a single one could answer that question with any semblance of truth and they knew it.
Finally I told them to think about something, when was the last time the SEC was won by a team not named Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Tennessee. Not a single person could answer that question. Then I dropped the bomb and left the whole room in silence. I told them the above listed schools didn't invite them to the party for them to win titles, they were invited to recruit this state. I told them that when and if aggy became a threat to those schools consistently they would get hammered by NCAA allegations as just happened to Ole Miss. The looks I got were hilarious because everyone in the room realized I just might be right. Especially when I reminded them the only times in history aggy was competitive was followed by NCAA sanctions.
That class of 83 at Bryan High School is why I quit football. Bernstein also played safety and liked to light up WR on quick slants. Ask me how I know. I never understood how that team didn't do better in the state playoffs. There were 5 players on that team that at least got a cup of coffee in the NFL.
For me that might be a reasonable compromise after the government corrects their deficiencies in background check information, investigating reports of potential professional school shooters and enforcing the laws that are already on the books. By government I mean Local, State and Federal.
I own several firearms, none of which could be classified as an AR. However I do own semi auto handguns and shotguns. All of my rifles are either single shot, bolt action or pump action.
I just think it is ridiculous for people to be willing for the government to ban something that they can't define. The same government that failed to do their job when all of the information in front of them was ignored. Changing gun laws should be the last resort, after all other laws have been enforced.
Both of these firearms shoot the same cal ammo, at the same rate of fire. Both are semi automatic .22 caliber rifles made by the same manufacturer. Accessories can be bought to make the top firearm look like the bottom. The accessories do not change the action. The larger magazine will fit both rifles
Great job BL. I’ve been a habitual lurker since way back in the Austin360 days. I don’t post a lot on boards but I’ve followed along to hornfans and then Shaggybevo. Now on to Surlyhorns, it’s one thing to read all of the posts and stories of how things came to pass but I was in tears laughing at the stories on the radio. Good luck to the owner
