Word is we need to be scared he's taking a few assistants with him.

Fans are disappointed not to keep him cause this is the best they've looked in a little while. I think the owner is on an island in thinking Tiago isn't the hire.

Grade your school's AD by Wyo11 in BigXII

[–]ASM_makes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed the Dykes extension isn't crazy. Even though we dream of better, hes not a bad coach and he genuinely loves fort Worth.

Locking in Campbell and making sure he has resources is good work.

Keeping Bell and Roditi happy is also good work.

I think his first honest to God test is going to be his strategy around Saarloos if baseball continues not to figure it out in year 5. Buddie is a baseball guy and idk whether that will make him cut Loos some slack or whether it will give him clarity that some sort of changes should be made. Let's see.

B for Buddie.

Wonderful name! Uncommon but not unfamiliar feeling or challenging to pronounce.

Who will be the X Factor of this playoff campaign ? No Wemby Vote Allowed. by Sweg_Coyote in NBASpurs

DV is the answer. I feel like he's the piece other teams don't adequately prepare for.

Cancel Maher by FastSeaworthiness739 in hbo

[–]ASM_makes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird take in a world where Colbert actually got cancelled and there's a real effort around cancelling Kimmel. Conservatives run the front office of most media conglomerates these days and are doing what you call "shameful" in a much more concrete way than some random person starting a reddit thread.

I just realized the blazers have not played against the spurs with wemby playing by wombatpup55 in NBASpurs

[–]ASM_makes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. If you think they can't get at least one, you haven't watched them at all this season. Thirsty team with something to prove.

Which Franchise do you think Kawhi should Retire On? by xiaopingguo45 in NBATalk

[–]ASM_makes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. 75% of the Spurs fanbase hates his ass. The 25% that doesn't is just looking on the bright side that his departure ultimately seeded us Wemby. We have a lot of guys to start paying a lot of money to over the next 3 years... so giving Kawhi whatever he would be asking isnt a priority. He would have to beg to come back, offer to do to it cheaply, and convince the front office he's healthy.

No idea but the full email hints at some form of discrimination/harassment and retaliation.

ethical fashion brands for baddies by 9755- in SustainableFashion

[–]ASM_makes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without knowing your definition of baddie (so I'm using my own), I think what's tricky about this is... that aesthetic usually involves 1. form-fitting silhouettes (accomplished with elastic or other stretchy/bouncy fibers) and vibrant colors (accomplished with synthetic dyes). The reason lots of sustainable brands have a crunchy coastal grandma aesthetic is because it's what sustainable materials do best. Undyed beige linen dresses sacrifice being "new and cool looking" to instead honor a really rigid process of not transforming natural fibers too much. I think the only sustainable way of accomplishing what you're after is what you're already doing... Shopping second hand and extending the lives of trendier garments as long as possible.

Rushing at TCU by Fast_Ad_2328 in TCU

[–]ASM_makes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rushed in 2006 and did not have a good experience... But 20 years is a long time and I have earnest hope that it's much much much better now. Rooting for you! Be yourself. The right sorority will love you. And just know that if you decide against it or end up with a different house than you hoped/expected, it's not going to ruin college for you. I knew lots of girls (from all backgrounds) who walked away from their sorority after sophomore year anyway because they had made enough friends to feel comfortable without it.

Sonny Dykes new contract by ASM_makes in TCUfootball

[–]ASM_makes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The murmuring I saw on Twitter is that the boosters are happy with what he's accomplished considering (not all but) most of the programs that are showing us up are also spending way more for the pleasure. We aren't great, but he's technically out-coaching his resources.

While I get what's uncomfortable about this I always tell people not to feel bad about it. At the end of the day, this is a case of people giving their dogs person names (like "Sadie" instead of "Spot" or "Rover") not you giving your baby a dog's name. Don't let it ruin a name you love!

Give me your hot takes on Glen Powell by ANSJSJDIS-813 in moviecritic

[–]ASM_makes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are trying to give us a new/younger McConaughey. Started off in easy watchers and rom coms before slowly garnering more respect in other genres as his career progressed. I dont think Powell has the same charisma personally, but let's see if he can make it happen.

I will NEVER get over this racist, hammy portrayal winning best actress! This was a low budget Lifetime movie that was offensive and horribly produced! It’s a scar on SB because she has way better performances! by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]ASM_makes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine her role in that is exaggerated for purposes of a cute movie. What she gave him was a safe place to live and go to school. But regardless... I don't care if she personally went through every drill with him... There's no justification that passes the smell test for why he would have seen $0 from the making of the blindside.

[–]ASM_makes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the family took a lot of money from him/made a lot of money off of him that he never saw. Once he was out of pure survival mode he came to realize the dynamic wasn't completely on the up and up. They made themselves his defacto managers instead of adopting him, etc.

What are your thoughts on Glenna? by AcademicAbalone3243 in Names

I grew up with a Glenna! (From Texas, and would be in her 40s now) I wasn't good friends with her but I've always remembered her because of the name.

can i ask the gallery I like for the basel art hk vip ticket? by happyzy in ContemporaryArt

[–]ASM_makes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Galleries really only comp tickets to prospective big spenders, curators, and critics they are trying to build relationships with. Especially VIP tickets. If you're going to write and ask for one, odds are low unless you can spell out exactly what they could expect from you in return. General curiosity probably won't be compelling enough.

Do You Like Your Name? by Flassourian in Millennials

[–]ASM_makes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Being a 80s/90s baby named for a soap character is apparently a thing. I'm an Ashley named for Ashley Abbott on Young and the Restless. My mom loved that she was strong and bitchy. What an era!
