  1. Past hour
  2. I think stacking the box would be a major mistake. IF UTEP didnt feel the need to stack the box, why would anyone else? The only thing Arch has done at a reasonable level is run the ball and throw deep. No need to open yourself up to explosive plays. I would say the same for blitzing. Why give Arch easy reads or open yourself up for him to scramble. PK would destroy this offense. Just take away explosives and force them to execute 8-10 play scoring drives. You can always adjust if out of the blue the offense finds a running game or a consistent short passing game.
  3. Mayo & Cody back, no Adolis. Coulombe back, Curvelo down. Niggy apparently alive.
  4. This. The decline in American religious life and the negatives it brings aren't so much about a "loss of faith" as they are a "loss of community." People's "church group" and "church friends" are important in keeping people grounded, and believe it or not, even offer some diversity (more than you have in much more insular community). I grew up in a Catholic parish, and am involved in a Presbyterian church today. In both groups were people of different experiences, different socioeconomic groups (grew up with some pretty rich kids, and some whose families were just scraping by, but we were all at the church picnic and our first communion together). But the point is, they were a community. Our "Bowling Alone" problems have only become more acute, impacted by both the COVID experience and the increasing ability (and incentive) to engage online only. Having a church community is a counter to that phenomenon, and by losing that community (along with all the other communities we've been losing), we've become even further adrift. The truth is that "we are all in this together." But the "truth" we are trying to live (and failing at, by the way) is "fuck you, I'm all that matters, and I can't be sure I'm winning if I don't see you losing." Zero-sum thinking is almost always destructive, and we've elevated it to a near-holy rite.
  5. Yeah. "I left no evidence, except this sentence I am currently texting. And all the other ones."
  6. What seems to be (from outside looking in, you can tell me if I'm way off base), but it seems to be this is a teen male dominated thing (e.g. incels, groypers, gamergates, etc.) and it's not very typical for teen girls to get wrapped around the black pill dystopia chronically online axel.
  7. Well most of the ATM’s at least in tourist areas ask if you want colones or dollars.
  8. Would you jump off a bridge if your internet friends were watching the livestream and gave you upvotes?
  9. Lucky it wasn’t called DOGSO.
  10. Sark being dumbfounded on a weekly basis for years now that defenses are installing the package that he’s consistently stymied by is a very good recurring bit
  11. Also of note, there's going to be a lot of really pissed off victims who are going to be doing a lot more interviews, not to mention more documents and emails coming out. The Trump administration does not understand the Barbara Streisand effect. Poor Venezuela, we hardly knew ya.
  12. There there, never you mind.
  13. That was sick. I heard Meters influence in there immediately, even before the Cissy Strut lick.
  14. Yes I think we had knowledge. I am inferring that from these provable facts: This summer we defended against Iran's bombing in Qatar. We have the defense technology to shoot down. Last week we did not defend against Israel's bombing in Qatar. We (still, 4 months later) have the defense technology to shoot down. It logically follows that we, in some form or fashion whether explicitly or tacitly, a) had knowledge and b) allowed for it to happen. If Qatar wasn't pissed, that is what would be weird.
  15. What a weak ass penalty decision against Marseille
  16. Lucky that was outside the box.
  17. The Electric Horseman is great and should be watched by anyone who hasn’t seen it.
  18. We are going to wreck Sam Houston, but then this problem on offense will get worse before it gets better. If you're a SEC defensive coordinator, you're licking your chops. Texas has a QB that is having trouble with basic short and intermediate passes, but sees his strength as the deep pass, but is easily rattled. What do you do? 3-high safety shell to take away any deep ball - UTEP did this Single cover the WRs who the QB can't hit anyway in short passes and/or play soft zone - all SEC defenses can do this easily Stack the box to kill the run game that the Texas O-line can't push anyway - cantwait.gif Blitz over and over Even if Arch stumbles into a handful of slants or seam passes, SEC defenses are going to make him dink/dunk down the field now - because he can't do it. And we can't run it well enough either.
  19. *They're there *They're every fucking where
  20. I did notice that he said “remember” like the roommate should be aware that he was engraving cartridges/bullets. That’s a sign that the roommate ignored.
  21. They can decrease the purchases from Russia. They won't decrease the purchases entirely, at least not willingly. This comes up a lot. Worldwide Oil Production ~ 100,000,000 Barrels/day (BPD). The US, Saudi Arabia, and Russia eash produce over 10,000,000 BPD. Nobody else is anywhere close, few even produce half that amount. In a balanced market, cutting off 10+% of the supply affects 100% of the market. The US is probably the only market where people bitch about gasoline & diesel prices. Everybody else knows they import crude oil and refined products, and understands they are pawns in the market place. The US is also a pawn, but everybody in the US believes it is their birthright to always have cheap gas. Oh, and the collective mindset of the US, it what you would expect from a bunch of idiots. The US leads the world in oil production, and also leads the world in oil consumption, by a significant amount. A large portion of the "US consumption" is actually crude oil used to make refined transportation fuels that are exported and actually consumed by the importing countries. The US produced and imported oil is refined in the US, the gasoline mostly stays here, and the excess diesel is exported. With Russia as a pariah, and the US watching/endorsing Israel bombing Qatar, I would expect the Middle East-US mindset to be neutral at best, meaning the US would be in a bidding war for crude oil; Exxon, Chevron & Conoco bidding against Europe, China, India, Japan, S. Korea, etc. To replace 1,000,000 BPD of "lost" oil production would take ~ 300 new wells in the permian. Each well 10,000 feet down, another 10,000 foot "lateral, at a cost of $10,000,000/well, or $3 Billion total, with a "B". Nobody in the US is drilling based on $60 oil. Prices have to move up first. Stopping Russian exports is the first domino. Yes, any fireball on the horizon in Russia is a good thing. Mostly, it is just shut-in in place underground. Russia could earn some "good will" by paying it forward to Turkey & China and others, but producing and giving it away has a chance of future benefits, whereas the shut-in gas is worth nothing. Hitting any Russian Refinery. anywhere is good. just for the optics. But not all attacks are equal. The new Saratov Refinery attack caused a fire in the red polygon. That appears to be proximate to some manifolds and some above ground piping. Nothing that seems to be critical and out of commission for very long period. A google screen shot shows the fire location relative to the refinery footprint. IMO, hitting anything in the yellow polygons was probably a much better target than what they hit. Recently, Ukraine has targeted, and hit, specific process towers. Those are among the highest value targets in Russia, because they reduce fuel production, reduce export revenue, and are very difficult to replace, given sanctions and difficulties Russia will have in getting replacement parts, controls and instrumentation. Hitting storage tanks makes big fireballs, but 2 or 3 of the larger tanks is only ~ 1 days/ worth of production. Knocking out the main process towers means a 40% reduction in total refining capacity for ~ 6 months, or longer. Seeing Ukraine specify vessel names and numbers, and hitting them, makes my heart go pitter patter.
  22. Arch's throws are here There there there every fucking where
  23. My dad has told me for years that the world isn't losing its collective mind and humanity isn't devolving at an alarming rate. It's always been this crazy and awful. It's just that now everybody has a camera in his front pocket, so it all gets documented. I thought he had a point, up to a point, anyway. But the last couple of pages of this thread are a pretty outstanding counterargument.
  24. Getting this on my participated feed. Hala Madrid
