Texas Women's Basketball 2019-2020 Season
You are totally right. I agree with you on all of those. But something too often overlooked about real quality coaching is in game adjustments. The Aston defenders say look Baylor owns us but look at our record. We win because we out talent most of our opponents. Where we lose almost every game is the inability to coach up or make adjustments in game and especially at halftime. Most teams we often beat have coaches making far better game time decisions. This is where Mulkey kicks most of her peers.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I noticed your defense wasn’t informing her it was a $300.00 hoodie. Good move there.

Fire Shaka Smart
How many times do we have to post that Shaka isn’t worth a shit and we could get better (me included)? This isn’t about Shaka any more. It is all about whether or not we will pay the bucks to fire his ass. I really do not know if CDC is ready to go there yet...maybe, maybe not.

New Mexico Spring Break
I would recommend house rentals. Most are cheap and very comfortable. Angel Fire is small and easy to get around. A negative is dining compared to Taos and Santa Fe.

United Methodist Church to split in two
I have really have enjoyed reading this thread. I have been introduced to some new thinking or ideas concerning ancient religious concepts applied to today’s church. From time to time It is nice to see that others, like me, have chosen to give up bigoted, self-indulgent teachings from a childhood church denomination. I love Surly because in our discussion you get everything from the high brow to the down and dirty. Just the way it should be! After all I have read here concerning the current Methodist possible split, it just reinforces again one of my great disappointments of religion as we see it in real life...the hinderance or outright failure by the “Church” to establish congregations functioning according to the prayer of Jesus for his disciples. He prayed for them to practice and rejoice in unity as He and The Holy Father are unified. I think we all realize the Methodists are experiencing just another example of the pattern for the church dealing with discord among its members. It started with discord over circumcision, later on to papal authority, Moroni, pacifism, slavery, on and on, and now primarily abortion and LGBTQ. Who knows what controversies are ahead but they will certainly appear. I’ll just close this longest reply I certainly have written to a Surly thread by giving a quote I just kept thinking about while I was reading. It is by Richard Rohr a progressive (not political) Catholic priest in New Mexico. “The job of religion is to help people act effectively and compassionately from an inner centeredness and connection with God. The need to be right is not love.“

My biggest fear is that he rolls out 4-5 years in a row of 8-9 win seasons. CDC will not pull the string to fire him and we are stuck with the egotistical dipshit.

A lot of us were consumed by the hype. We really didn’t know Tom Herman, particularly his gross egotism. That is why we pay millions to have competent, skilled athletic directors.

impeachment inquiry hearings thread
Bolton is not going to be subpoenaed to testify and he damn well knows it. His charade of having a patriotic rethink of his public responsibility is self-absorbed greed. He implies that he has important insight concerning this impeachment process. Since he was not granted an opportunity to testify you may buy his book and all will be revealed. Sure thing.

I am with you, Atom, but that was a 2008 electorate. When I see all of the idiocy around this country today, I don’t have a lot of confidence with 2020 voters.

United Methodist Church to split in two
Gosh Johnny I didn’t know you were such an adherent to New Testament teaching. You being a big land owner it is refreshing to know you believe in the teachings of Acts. “The group of believers were united in their hearts and spirit. All those in the group acted as though their private property belonged to everyone in the group. In fact, they shared everything.” Acts 4:32 NCV “There were no needy people among them. From time to time those who owned fields or houses sold them, brought the money, and gave it to the apostles. Then the money was given to anyone who needed it.” Acts 4:34-35 NCV “Joseph owned a field, sold it, brought the money, and gave it to the apostles.” Acts 4:37 NCV
