See if it translates to the SEC?

He is coming from the Big 12, arguably the best basketball conference right now. He’s not coming from the Sun Belt or some low level conference. You are negative about everything.

And made it Christians only?


Again man, any group renting out a space can make it only whoever they want. You pay for the space you can invite whoever you want. This is America after all.

In the case of Christian churches it’s probably not going to be you have to be a Christian but it would be you have to be there affiliated through the church in some way. Meaning you registered for the event through the church.

Honestly wouldn’t be shocked if this “Muslims only” thing was like that. That you probably don’t have to be full blown practicing Muslim to be there but that you have to be there through whatever ismlamic organization is renting the water park out.

I think the headline of this article has you clutching at pearls when nothing nefarious is actually going on here.

Btw I actually went the the trouble of finding this stupid registration for the event and it literally says all are welcome on the advertisement. This is sensationalism at its finest. https://dfwepiceid.com/

Responding to you now with what I added.

If the Muslim day is truly “Muslim Only” and they are renting the space out, then they can do that since they are the ones renting the space. I don’t know why Christians would want to be at a Muslim waterpark day anyways.

Christian churches would never do that though because as you said, evangelicalism is important to most Christian churches. I don’t think it’s important for Muslims or at least not as pushed of a thing. Idk, I’m not Muslim obviously.

My whole point was that private groups rent these kind of spaces out for their group only events all the time. With a Christian church, our group has a wide net because we have an everyone is welcome mentality. Which can include believers and non-believers.

I don’t see this any differently other than they may be limiting the audience but if they are renting it out, then they can do that.

Replace “Muslims Only” with people employed by company ABC only and it is the same thing with out the same outcry because…well Muslim. I think anyone being intellectually honest can understand this whether you agree with it or not.

Well now you’re moving the goal posts. It was never demanded only Christians attend. Of course no church would do that. But it absolutely 100% was advertised as First Baptist (fill in the blank) Church day at the place, so if you were attending you were attending through registering with our church. So presumptively if you were there you were either Christian, Christian curious, or your mom just needed free or cheap day care for the day :lol:

If the Muslim day is truly “Muslim Only” and they are renting the space out, then they can do that since they are the ones renting the space. I don’t know why Christians would want to be at a Muslim waterpark day anyways.

i guarantee you 100% that those were not marketed as "christians only"


Considering it was just our church there, yeah it actually was.

Most likely this is just some Muslim group that is renting the water park for the day. I guess I don’t see it any differently than when the church I grew up in would rent out these spaces for a day every summer.

One quick example of a watermark that offers church group rates in Texas and advertises as such

Growing up in youth group we would have days at water parks, putt putt, laser tag, etc. with just us Christians all the time…

He seems like he has some legit sources and so for that reason I enjoyed listening to pieces of his show during the Kiffin hiring saga. Nothing personal but could not listen much more though because of the yelling. his voice just wore me down as a listener.

Houston would elect her again in a landslide if she ran again


Her term ends this year and she isn’t going for reelection, thank God.

I never understood how she won in the first place. I think she just rode the liberal AOC young Hispanic woman popularity wave.

Dora the Explorer is the worst. Even democrats in Houston are tired of her shite.

quote:

Houston itself doesn't actually give a shite about the Texans.


That’s just absolutely not true but okay.
quote:

LOL you still don’t understand.


No man, I understand very clearly what you’re saying. I just think you’re an idiot.

Obviously no talking sense into you. Stay married to this take, after every touchdown this defense gives up next season I’m sure you’ll be on the score board screaming for Baker to be fired because he’s trash. You clearly just don’t like Baker. Whatever to each their own.
quote:

False! I said we have plenty of players with enough starts/playing time under their belt along with all the starters that played, to defeat a middle of the road offense. Yet they were embarrassed!


Okay so you’re doing exactly what I said. Slicing it up semantically to fit your narrative that Baker is trash. The defense was without their best players last night. That is not up for debate man.
quote:

I can only explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you!


I don’t think you understand much.
I don’t disagree that what matters is next year and beyond. My point to Shanks and others calling Baker trash is what has he done that makes you think he’s trash? This game missing your best players should not be held against him to the point that you think he’s trash now.

Since he took over this defense has made incremental improvements each year going from literally one of the worst in FBS under House to I believe top 25 this year in every team defensive statistic that matters.

Why would I believe that trend won’t continue and potentially improve with an offense that can score and give the defense breaks? Because they didn’t play well against Houston without their best players? Shanks is being disingenuous trying to say we were not without “starters” however you want to slice it up semantically, they didn’t have their best players on defense last night.

This poster can’t stand facts! Lol little princess. Muh CoNtExT!


:lol:

You are truly special. This thread has been nothing but you not accepting facts that missing literally your best players on defense all season matters.
lol what? This might be your worst take of all the bad takes man. Just give it up.

2024 Texas bowl team also almost lost to a worse Baylor team and defense played like doo doo in that game too. Only point you can make from comparing these games is more proof that bowl games are meaningless to these players now and roster turnover will be significant.
No it’s the reality of the situation that LSU were missing our best players on defense last night. That is an indisputable truth. Acting like that is just wahh making excuses for Baker wahh is dumb and not reality. Of course there is going to be a significant drop off in production when your best players aren’t playing.
Derp. Again not using context. Low IQ
quote:

That’s pretty much the definition of an excuse Look, I like Baker and think we will improve. But last night, without some of the best players, highlighted a deficiency that we have already seen in his scheme and preparation.


It’s really not an excuse. It’s the truth. Low IQ.
quote:

The result counts like any other game and is therefore, again by definition, not meaningless.


No, it is meaningless you low IQ dunce. My previous posts calling this shanks idiot low IQ is because you two are not using context at all and just looking at result. Context matters and your refusal to understand that missing all these defensive starters matters is why you are being low IQ. So go ahead and get your panties in a bunch about that.

This roster is going to be turned over next year, this coaching staff is going to be different next year, the roster that even played in this game was not the same as it was all season.

Yes, the game counts against your record but who cares, you still didn’t meet expectations whether you won or not. You just feel a little better that hey we won the Texas bowl. Would rather be in that position but we aren’t and it has no bearing at all on anything with this program, so therefore, it is meaningless.
No UH does not have the same resources as LSU but they are improving fast in that department. Ever hear of Tillman Fertita? They are spending money over there now and Willie Fritz is a good coach. They are not a bad team and will compete in the Big 12 most years.

The defense wasn’t good last night. It’s not excuses when it’s reality that this team clearly treated this game as a meaningless game with all of the opt outs. UH treated it like their Super Bowl with no starters opting out. The result of this game is meaningless as much as you want to try and say otherwise.
quote:

So does coaching.


Baker is a good coach. Lots of evidence proves that with the year over year improvements he has made in 2 seasons. Only so much you can do as a coach when you do have the players in game that you are forced to play mostly rotational players because all of your best players opted out. Again, that’s not excuses, it’s reality that we did not have the players last night.
