    What Are You Doing, the Rest of Your Life?

    That only goes out to 2025. I plan to live longer than that, just to irritate some people, if nothing else.

    Prediction thread on Conference Championship games this weekend

    I think every game is a complete tossup except Alabama over Florida. Bama 38 Florida 10 North Carolina 31 Clemson 24 I think NC has been coming on strong, and Clemson has played some games close that shouldn't have been. USC 24 Stanford 20 USC seems to have better athletes, and that helps...

    Channel 11 News in Dallas is reporting the the leading candidate for the UNT

    He is the same age that Wilkinson was. I don't know that I would take the SC job. If he has the confidence in himself, he might want to hold out for one of two or three jobs that might well be open as soon as a year from now: LSU, Florida, or Oklahoma. If Stoops were to win the title...

    OUr Road to the Final Four...

    When I think of 2000, I remember names like Ryan Fisher, Roger Steffen, Ontei Jones, Brandon Moore, Barry Holleyman, and Corey Callens who may not have been the stars of the team, but among whom we found some senior leadership that carried the team when Heupel was injured. When I think of 1985...

    What Are Our Chances Against Clemson or Alabama?

    All things considered, I'd rather play Iowa or Michigan State. But, I question Clemson more than Bama. They have had some good wins. But, they have also had some uninspired performances against rather routine teams. I suspect that they may have more speed than Bama. But, I tend to think...

    Justin Fuente to head coach at VT.

    I think he should have held out for total control. He would get it somewhere.

    OU is in the Playoffs? Told You So!!!

    If OU had not lucked into a walk-on QB, I don't know that the coaching changes would have done anything. Without Baker Mayfield, is there any way that this team would be 11-1? Sometimes, it is about good fortune. We had Heupel in 2000. We had a freshman QB available when Aikman broke his...

    According to this reporter, this sign is controversial. Really?

    One of the reasons that life is a rarity in the universe is that it defies the principles of entropy, as does evolution. Rather than remaining the simplest form of life, evolution creates more intricate creatures. Life and society also become more involved. Ultimately, entropy wins only upon...

    According to this reporter, this sign is controversial. Really?

    I don't think that I specified religion as the only source of extremism. Was it the inclusion of witchcraft and the inquisition that led to this conclusion? Horror can be incubated in the womb of any form of extremism whether it be in the name of theism, deism, communism, fascism, or...

    Be honest. The sheriff, himself, created the sign for a political reason, and you have the same reasoning. He had every intention of making a political statement, as did you when you used his political statement to start this thread. Then, you used the strawman technique that you criticized...

    The Supreme Court also said that Dred Scott was legitimate. We can't imbue the founders with too much integrity. They did pretty well for men of their time and era. Note that there were no women or minorities at the Constitutional Convention, nor at Independence Hall. The framers did not...

    Like the Like the straw man that you created in your last post. You keep starting these political threads while indicating that they are not political. They wouldn't be, if you actually believed in what you say.
