[quote]dui charge was changed to something along the lines of reckless driving.[/quote] With, just, a decent lawyer, that's fairly standard in Nevada for a DUI not resulting in serious injury or death. You still have to complete all of the requirements: fine, classes, panel, blowing device, and lic...
[quote]Wish I could get Vegas’ take on it. 3 or 4[/quote] My guess is 0. A great offensive lineman in the National Football League is worth about .4, so I'm guessing that losing Dickerson will do nothing to the spread....

[quote]Sadly, Moses has never really lived up to his billing, although it hasn't been all his fault. He's been solid, but nothing more.[/quote] That's absurd. Based on what? I've seen and played with many solid players. None of them were All-Americans or National Award Finalists. I think that his co...
[img]Cal and UCLA aren't good jobs.[/img] Indeed! Both administrations hate sports. We had Sandy Barbour, who tried to do everything she could to run the athletic programs into the ground. Including, allowing the baseball team to fold, had it not been saved through donations, and continually runn...
[quote]Wright is somehow managing to standout as the worst.[/quote] He's terrified of contact. You can tell by how he chops his feet when it is time to engage. I had a coach that would say, "I can teach you how to tackle, but I can't teach you to tackle."...
[quote]Ole Miss will score points next week. Mac Jones and company better be ready for a track meet.[/quote] I doubt it. Ole Miss put up points on an overrated Florida team and a bad Kentucky team. I'd take Lane Kiffin in the match-up vs Golding, but I believe that it will be Bama by 4 touchdowns a...

[quote]Thanks for the invite, but I'm just a dumb southerner[/quote] I hear you. Why move when you can watch our stupidity, live, from the comfort of your reasonably priced home? [quote]I like Carribean food way better than Asian[/quote] That's fine, too. I know a place that makes great oxtai...

Oh shite, TS. You sound like you're a native of Santa Monica, ready to drive an electric vehicle to escape the fires in your backyard or the impending mudslides that follow. Go ahead and make the move. I'll welcome you with a trip to the best Vietnamese restaurant on the West Coast....
[quote]You are right, maybe not 5 stars, but their system was a machine[/quote]Osborne recruited studs: Lawrence Phillips, Ahman Green, Trev Alberts, Aaron Taylor, Mike Rucker, Shevin Wiggins, Roger Craig, Mike Booker He would raid Florida, Texas, and California...
[quote]Washington can be a great job.[/quote]I'm not sold on Washington. They have spurts, but they've been too inconsistent. They were awful when I was in school, and then Tosh went up there and they started recruiting on a different level but still an average team. Nebraska has been awful since So...
[quote]Carol Folt's busy running far away from that[/quote] The administration seems hell bent on pushing that team to mediocrity. USC is the best job in the PAC-12, and it's not close. Nebraska is a great place, but relying on what worked 20 - 30 years ago is killing that program. I remember g...

[quote]This isn't normal. And it's not all western states. It's unique to locations where change in electricity sources was mandated before the technology existed to support it. [/quote] So? What is your point? Are you looking for an energy debate? I don't work in that realm, nor do I care. When I ...

[quote]People will die because of this. They are having some serious heat out there[/quote] It's more of a nuisance. I was in Santa Cruz, last year, when PG&E started the blackouts. It's more due to their failing and antiquated infrastructure than it is to prevent the fires. Plus, it typically on...

[quote]Isn't that a tweet about voluntary energy conservation during a heatwave? Doesn't seem so awful. [/quote] The list is sent out every year by the power companies in the Western US. Consecutive days in the 100s plus wildfires: Here are some effective ways to conserve energy during this t...

[quote] Cali with a 90% tax rate on fire and in the ocean still beats out a good part of the union for me. [/quote] Even with all of those issues, my quality of life is high. I can go hiking, to the beach, pull out the KTM, watch a live playoff game, and finish it off with one hell of a night at th...

[quote]California is light years away from Alabama economically. The problem with Cali are taxes, regulations, and social stuff. But even with the higher taxes & regulations, Cali is still on another planet as us economically. [/quote] That's in spite of everything that you stated. California is, a...

[quote]The state of Alabama has voted for Republican presidential candidates since the 60s. Has that elevated the state? [/quote] I live in California. The same can be said for this state, also. It has been, largely, Liberal for the past 30 years, and the state is becoming unbearable. A number o...

[quote]I've never been invited or encouraged to get involved with my local county Republicans. [/quote] There's an inverse. I have reached out to numerous "Black" groups to get involved and my efforts have been met with silence. I have, also, been to meetings and have been met with looks of befuddl...

[quote]If the Republican party wants more Black people, it has to look within itself and figure out how to appeal to conservative Black people who avoid the GOP because of racial issues and stop denying that it has one. [/quote] I agree. Based on historical perspective, the parties have changed, bu...
