Why does Texas play on Astroturf?

So their cheerleaders won't graze during halftime.
Brigham Young invented most of it based on the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.

NOVA is a curse on the rest of us here.

I lived in Alexandria for 14 years. All my children were born in NOVA. The natives are as good as any people you will ever meet. It is the northern carpetbaggers who turned the place into a cesspool.

The amount of conditions that qualify for Medical MJ make it available to anyone in about 1/2 the SEC.

Before it was overall legal in Missouri my doctor told me to get a medical marijuana license to help me sleep and for my appetite. It was very easy to do. There was an online interview with a doctor who pretty much led me to answer questions the correct way.

I could not smoke the stuff. One puff and I would cough uncontrollably. So I went back and bought some gummies. I told the guy that I just wanted to sleep. He loaded me up with the super duper stuff. I ate one and went to bed. When I closed my eyes I would hallucinate. It was like looking at a black light poster. That was the end of my use of medical THC.

Nebraska could afford it (or at least thought they could) and ended up sliding in instead.

What I read is that Nebraska got invited over Mizzou due to their better academics.
quote:

Maxine Waters has never lived in her district.

The constitution does not require a representative to live in the district he represents; only that he be a citizen of the state from which he was elected.
VT joined the ACC in 2004. A&M and Mizzou joined the SEC in 2012.

Mizzou lobbied for years to join the Big 10 and could never come to terms with the fact that the Big 10 just did not want them. They were desperate to get out of the Big XII as it was crumbling down around them and they had nowhere else to go. They got lucky with the SEC.
quote:

14 years later I'm still scratching my head on why Mizzou is in the SEC.

Because the SEC expected Virginia Tech to join and provide balance for Texas A&M. However, VT had spent so much political capital to get into the ACC that they could not go anywhere. Thus we got Mizzou. It is really not complicated.
And no one picked up on the first Confederate national flag.

The scripture you read today was chosen by early Catholic leaders in the first few centuries AD.

At the Council of Hippo and the Council of Carthage circa 400 A.D.

I don’t know what Joe’s handlers were thinking.

They were thinking let's get rid of this guy while there is still time.

Debates were always scheduled after the conventions. The Democrats wanted this one to occur before then so they would have time to replace him.
Women love kilts, but it might help the guy's chances even more if he put on a shirt.
My view is that thus far the Corps of Engineers has managed to postpone the inevitable because when man fights nature man will eventually lose 100% of the time. The problem as I see it is that we are in too deep to turn back. We must continue to try.
quote:

You have to get the rope just right to break the neck

Years ago the U.S. Army worked all that out. They created a chart with height, weight, and drop distance. When used it breaks the correct vertebra.
quote:

If she’s over 17 that is

I don’t know how old she was. A friend of mine from that school once told me who it was but I did not know her.
Again, as I posted in another thread, this is nothing new. When I was in high school a very long time ago the football coach at our rival school was run out of town for banging a cheerleader. Back then parents would not run to law enforcement. They would figure that it was better to try to keep things quiet than to let the world know that their daughter was a little slut.
If this is the promised land, I've had all I can stand
And I'm headed back below that Dixie line
No I just don't fit in and I'll never come back again
But I'm busted here with Dixie on my mind
Oh, I'm stuck up here and I got Dixie on my mind
