Jack Coffee Hays never said anything he didn't do. He's the father of Texas. Watch Woodrow F. Call in Lonesome Dove. Call was based on Hays. Same as my father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He left Goergia to come Texas in 1866.

What would be known as the Comanches broke off from the Shoshones in the 1740s in Wyoming. They moved southeast from what is now Wyoming. Texas John Coffee Hays from Tennessee literally killed them in 1830s and 1840s. Woodraw F. Call in Lonesome Dove was based in Jack Coffee Hays.

I have a book written on the Comanches taking over Texas in 1790 with this as the theme song. Wrote in 1996 when I was 24.
-
Greatest year in Texas, American, and world history: 1873. Winchester 1873. Colt Single Action Army 1873.
-
Quinn never sucked as bad as Tom Brady against Notre Dame 1998. I remember watching this game in New Mexico 1998. Year Rickey killed A&M to win the Heisman.
-
Told my daughter when she was five that this was the greatest soul song ever. 1973 funk.
-
Kobe Brick House 1977 to 2001.
-
Mateer sucked against every power four team he played in 2024. He sucked against Wyoming too. Criminals better hang on tight to the soap.

Considering Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West was published in 1985, and the Lakers beat the Celtics in 1985 I'm thinking all these analytic pretenders blow crap today.
-
McCarthy same as Clint in the 1970s.
-
Daughter just sent me an email asking about the symbolic connection between the physical abnormalities of Kurtz and the judge. I told her there's a connection that McCarthy intentionally wrote into Blood Meridian, but the judge is more and less than Kurtz. The judge is literally a god beyond death, but Kurtz is a frail human. McCarthy is using the judge to symbolize metaphysical principals, while Conrad is using Kurtz to symbolize the decline of European culture. Conrad is talking about the decline of Western civilization. McCarthy is trying to link virility to the ascendance of the West.

Don't see how you can make them join a conference. The selection rules for the next CFP agreement need to stipulate that there will be a strong SOS component like they have for baseball and basketball.

Why was it depressing? I remember watching guys on TV literally knock down the wall with sledge hammers. I remember thinking that it was great that I was watching it as it happened, and I understood its significance because I had studied history from ancient Egypt to present day, read Henry Kissinger's memoirs about trying to win the Cold War, but that was it and I was 16.

Someone asked what I was doing in Athens, Georgia in November 1989 if I went to high school in Gilmer, TX. I went there in June 1989 to stay with my best friend. His mom was a professor of Entomology at UGA.
-
Drove through Gilmer for the first time in a couple years. Reminded of the Berlin Wall falling on 9 November 1989. I was sixteen in Athens, Georgia when it happened. Graduated from high school close to Gilmer five months before. I remember thinking that day that it was the culmination of two world wars, the cold war and the entire twentieth century. The US was literally about to dominate the world. It was exhilarating and depressing at the same time.

Gotta say I can't stand Garry Parrish, Steph Curry, SGA or any other pansy who can't post or finish at the rim.
-
I should mention we read Milton's Paradise Lost just before reading McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I had them chart the punctuation and meter of Milton and McCarthy. Then they had to compare conceptual schemes. Now, twenty year old girl loves Blood Meridian the most. I'm partial to Paradise Lost, but I did take her to multiple conferences on McCarthy.
-
Ain't no Aggie or criminal sooner doing that.

I've never seen a single second of The Office. I read Homer, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Al Farabi, Machiavelli, Bacon, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Conrad and McCarthy with my kids as the grew up. My youngest daughter just asked me to borrow Heart of Darkness and Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West so she can study over the summer. She's twenty at UT now.

But Nash averaged ten assists per game, so you must give him the MVP. I mean, Magic averaged 14 assists without winning the MVP, but you gotta bow down to the voters.

"He speaks English, Italian, Spanish and Slovenian. Half our players don't speak English."
-
Jerry West: "I got this kid. He's gonna be the best player in the world. We gonna win multiple titles with this boy leading the way."
-
Pre-daft nonsense in May 1996 was that Kobe was too weak. He couldn't shoot against defensive pressure. He couldn't beat ball pressure off the dribble. I remember Jerry West saying they're nuts on draft night. He's the best player I've ever seen. He literally beat every player we've put him against, and he's only 17. That's why you gotta trust what you see rather than bs stuff you hear. Of course, by that time I knew Jerry West was more trustworthy than any idiot in the media.

I hope Jonah's starting every game in the postseason.
-
Even though we lost game two, watching Schloss go out and joke around with the boys before going to Grubbs was great. He's the coolest Texas coach.
