Both 5A title games today were beat downs.

joeywa reacted to tejasrulz in All Things Politics Thread
As I've stated before, I have more minority blood in me than white and my complexion is a med to light brown. I actually had a friend of mine, who is a liberal, ask me if my blood line was true, why wasn't I darker? Could you imagine the outcry if I would have asked a black person that? Why aren't you blacker/darker if you're truly black?
My wife is white, my kids have more white than minority and we taught them not to judge people by their skin color yet they have been judged by theirs several times.
The Trump crowd who stormed the capital should be punished. The liberals who did during the Kavanaugh hearings should be too. The crowds in the DC, Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis riots should be punished. Protesting is a right, rioting is not and it's illegal.
Now a performer has lost his record contract because he was at the Trump rally. If you truly want freedom of speech, it has to be both ways. This cancel culture needs to stop or things will get worse. The funny thing is Russia and China are just sitting back laughing. Truth be told, they're probably egging it on.

The Big12 has been slow and methodical in making a decision on how the baseball season will shape up.
Kendall Rogers with some insight today that is pretty interesting.

joeywa got a reaction from Aaron Carrara in Some sad news tonight
Thanks everyone for the kind words about Jim. He was one of a kind.
I have talked to Aaron and wanted to share a fundraiser that we are doing on behalf of Jim. After speaking with UTDave and the family, we are trying to raise enough money to start a UT Athletics Scholarship in Jim’s name. As of this morning, we are over $5,000. The funds are being collected by Rob at the OB Benevolent Fund. Once we hit our goal of $25,000, this will be presented to the Longhorn Foundation for the creation of the scholarship.
Here is the information:
We are still reeling on the news of our brother @JimsTexas passing away. I am so fortunate to have met Jim on a few occasions and visit with one of the most humble and genuine people I have ever met. A lot of folks who never knew Jim would correct him on his spelling and try to make him more like us. Everyone I have spoken with who knew the man wanted to be more like him, myself included. We love you Jim and pray Godspeed as we look at the burnt orange sunsets and take your relentless advice to keep our "horns raised high" my friend.
We are setting up a Jim Stacey Memorial Athletic Scholarship to honor Jim. @joeywa & @UTDave have spoken with the family and this is what they prefer we do to honor Jim's legacy. They are also orchestrating the connections to the University to connect all the dots. We are establishing an account to specifically manage this effort, We have a $25,000.00 min goal to achieve. Lets do this.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me. We realize that this has been a rough year for many, so if you are able to give a little, that’s awesome.
Hook ‘Em and have a safe & healthy holiday season. 🤘🏼

joeywa got a reaction from Drb522 in Some sad news tonight
I know some of us here are/have been posters on other sites over the years. One of our close friends, @JimsTexas, passed away this morning, peacefully in his sleep. His son called me tonight with the news.
Jim had some health issues, but still was able to go out and fish and faithfully followed the Longhorns, never wavering in his support regardless of recruiting classes, coaches or W/L record. I've personally known him for years and spoke with him on Monday night. I'm happy to call him a friend, spelling mistakes and all. If you're the praying type, please keep his wife, son and grandchildren in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this.
If you don't recall his posts, he generally ended them with this:
It isn't always pretty but this is called old man writing so don't be to critical of my spelling and sentence structuring. For you fisherman might your fishing line always be tight.
Now a little wisdom please remember this "Keep our Lord in your Hart and always have a blessed week don't take yourself so seriously no one else does enjoy your life. Have a Jack and Coke once and a while " Keep your Horns Raised high and proud
RIP Jim.

joeywa reacted to duqu in aggy won’t tolerate cheaters, right?
aggsy students answering test questions faster than the question itself can be read 🤪
https://www.texastribune.org/2020/12/16/texas-am-chegg-cheating/
An already unusual fall semester was wrapping up when Texas A&M University officials sent out an email in early December to the hundreds of students in an online finance class that set off a panic.
Faculty reported concerns of cheating “on a very large scale” to the Aggie Honor System Office, after they noticed some students in the class answered online test questions too quickly. Later, faculty discovered entire exams posted on a “homework help” website that has become synonymous with cheating.
