NC State winning the 83 NCAA Tourney has to be up there.

Had to win every game in the ACC tournament just to get in the field, then won it all by beating a team no one in America thought they could beat. They probably could have played Houston 10 more times and not come close to winning. But, they did it when it counted.

Having said that, come on Dems...nominate her. :cheers:

You should look into the concept of “ghost jobs”.

"Ghost jobs" are online job postings for roles that do not exist or that employers have no immediate intention to fill, with research indicating up to 34% of companies currently use them. These listings, often used to build talent pipelines, signal growth, or manage current staff, waste applicant time and create false impressions of a robust job market.

There is another issue that is causing some of the 'Ghost Jobs'. I'm a manager in accouting for a pretty large corporation. Our HR department makes us post any job opening that we have internally (which also auto posts it on numerous job sites) even when we already know who we are going to hire for the position. Thus, for at least 5-10 days, there a job posted that no one will ever even consider any of the applications. It absolutely pisses off every manager, and I've even tried to make the outside posting argument to stop it. No luck. Just another example of HR departments being absolutely useless.

Posted by hogwildinhouston on 2/26/26 at 3:34 pm to loogaroo

I get the concern, but bottom line is that Ted Cruz has always had popularity issues as well. Everyone said he was in trouble in 2018, but he still beat the media God Beto, and then crushed Collin Allred in 2024. Both Beto and Allred had far more unified Dem support than what is happening now.

If it's Crockett, she has no chance and it will be a bloodbath. If it's Talarico, I have a feeling ol' Jasmine isn't going to take the loss well and will not unify the party like it was both times against Cruz. Paxton (most likely), while having baggage, still wins relatively easily.

He's the sole reason you don't have Merrick Garland on the USSC. He also made sure all of Trump's first term noms got through. He may hate Trump, but his last 2 years indicate someone is controlling him. Wife maybe compromised?

I truly hope his end is as peaceful as possible...but all this fawning over him as some great human is a little over the top.

When the camera was on, he was one person. Day to day working with him was another. He was known to be a colossal prick to anyone he deemed an underling...which was most staff he dealt with day to day. I know personally how people within the athletic department at Arkansas absolutely hated him.

And, don't forget this prime example of what a prick he could be... berating a young female intern because he thought he was too important to stand and wait for an interview for 90 seconds.

Just watch that camera grin completely turn to a scowl and him storming off when the camera interview turns off.

May his end be peaceful, more peaceful than how he treated day to day people he worked with.

What's interesting is that defense was more the problem in Patterson's later years at TCU. He seemed to struggle with the modern offenses.

Maybe just his experience will help Riley learn to be a better HC, and that's the real goal.

He relied on his smartass MeeMaw

One of the great moves they made in Young Sheldon is changing the persona of MeeMaw. In the original show, June Squibb made an appearance as MeeMaw, and was a completely different personality. The original character would not have worked at all in Young Sheldon, and Annie Potts portrayal was the best part that show.

Some of the ancillary characters are the best, primarily the parents of each of the main characters.

Sheldon and Leonard's mothers are absolutely fantastic, especially the episodes where they interact with each other.

Kathy Bates is in a few episodes at Amy's mother, and she is hilarious.

This is the part that makes him one of the best ever.

He retires, watches his successor frick up everything he built in just 3 years, so he gets out of the recliner at age 70 and builds it all back up again. Wins the conference title in year 4 of the second stint.

The man was one of the best ever..
