English is a living language. Words migrate meanings all the time.

Yes, biologically, there is only one human "race". However, when speaking English, we recognize prejudices based on skin variations or other markers as "racism".

Judaism has a special place in the bigot's playbook as it is both a religion and an ethnic marker.

Well put.

And yes, since there is really only one homo sapien race, then technically there can't be ANY form of racism.  And yet we call it that when referring to bigtory and prejudice toward African-Americans.  

I need some quick advice if anyone here is familiar with ESPN+.  I don't have LHN and I'm trying to get my wife the game for tomorrow and somebody mentioned to me ESPN+ is an option.  I can't find much of an answer online and don't really feel like signing up even for a month if it's not going to let us watch the game.  As the various explanations read, it's not much of a live sports platform, but does offer some games here and there.  I can't find info specifically on if we'd be able to get the UTEP game.  

We currently have YTTV with credentials to ESPN's app, but YTTV does not carry LHN, so I'm just trying to figure something out.  A friend believes that a subscription to + would let us use the ESPN app to see the game, but I don't see any specifics like that.  If someone here knows something about that, or knows another way to catch this, drop me a line, will ya.  TIA

I have this exact same setup. YTTV for my "main" TV type viewing. I have a $5 ESPN+ add-on subscription because it enables a lot of the MLS games I'll watch.

***This 100% absolutely, totally, does NOT LET YOU WATCH ANYTHING ON LHN. ***

You will NOT be able to view the game with YTTV plus ESPN+ add on. If you try to view LHN, it will ask you to sign in with a supported cable provider. Basically, you have to have subscribed to a service that natively offers LHN, like Grande or AT&T. It's always a possibility that you know someone who'd let you borrow their credentials.

Otherwise, try "one off" solutions like signing up for the trial packages of Sling Orange or Vidgo. You'll get 30 days free, then cancel.

I'm currently trying to locate a cleaner method, but those are the only above board options I know of.

Sling Orange sounds like a good solution.  Thanks doods!

good luck DeTiger!

Sling Orange plus the sports add-on worked fine.  One of the links 320 provided worked for a lot of other things but lacked audio when it came time for that particular game.  No worries, I knew Sling would be really quick and easy to sign up for.  Actually, I wouldn't mind keeping Sling except for they don't have local stations.

My wife spent much of the game on the couch mildly complaining that this would've been LSU week except for, you know, 2020 happened.  

I thought they looked rather good.  UTEP is bad, sure, but it generally takes a certain type of team to steamroll weak teams they way they did.  

I checked the stats at halftime and then argued with the Ricky/Fuzzy Whiskers/other guy when they said take Ehlinger out of the game.  By my rough estimate he was something like 42 yards away from taking the DKR single game passing record.  I completely understand the wisdom of not risking injury, but they way they were playing, there was about a 99% chance he breaks the record in 2-4 pass plays, and < 1% chance he gets injured.  And they did give him the first series anyway, they just kinda turtled.  If you put him back out there, let him go get it.  Kid has wanted to a be a Longhorn his whole life, he deserves it.  Would be a statement of sorts to set a record in the first game.  

Speaking of the foreigner who does hold that record for the time being, I recognized a fair bit of that offense last night.  Did y'all?  Several of the formations, routes and concepts were very similar to what Brady was bringing to Baton Rouge last year.  Particularly the way the WRs sought to clear out areas of the field.  They were classified as a pro-style spread team last year, like the Tigers, but the implementation of that general philosophy was very different.  Last night was not.  Very Saints/Payton-esque, I thought.  I did not see much of the pre-snap motion attempting to make the defense declare the coverage, but a lot of the rest of it was very familiar.  

Not as sure what to think of the defense, UTEP is bad, but no obvious concerns that stuck out.  The offense, though, operated such that it's easy to envision them looking good against significantly better defenses.  If nothing else, nobody else in the Big 12 looked like they were in that ballpark other than OU.  Guess it's the RRR.  Again.
