  1. Past hour
  2. Ohio State only scored 14 because that’s all they needed to considering the Texas O wasn’t showing a need for riskier offense. Why air it out and risk the defense making a game-changing play? SJSU turned the ball over like 4 times and moved the ball fairly consistently outside of that. They missed a FG too, iirc. I’m going off my eyes right now since we’re only two weeks in and we haven’t really played a strong QB yet. I thought we were really good last year and we still got lit up by better QBs. This defense (to my eye) looks solidly beneath last year’s so far. Hopefully I’m wrong, I would love to be. Also, Arch doesn’t throw too many deep balls but he’s locked in on them for too long.
  3. agreed. Cleveland is "East Texas" to me....
  4. We have 5 unpaid, I just sent a reminder out. @Zepol87 giving it another week before I come calling for Hurts
  5. Well, Arch & Wingo need some more time to get on the same page. That will help. Moore & Livingstone round out a nice WR corps along with Endries who appears to be even better than advertised. I'm not so down on the OL as some, and I think a healthy pairing of Baxter and Wisner will make very serviceable if not particularly exciting RB options. Getting Colin Simmons off the brainfart express along with cleaning up a few other dumb mistakes and I think this team is absolutely playoff caliber. Most every team I've seen this year has issues. We are not alone.
  6. I'm of the opinion at this point that the ESPN FPI is generally a piece of shit and weights unrealistically towards the SEC.

    Seems Kiffin Florida gives him the beach head he’s yet to build in Miss
  8. https://www.indiatoday.in/trending-news/story/us-man-want-kids-to-grow-up-in-america-not-india-post-h1b-visa-debate-street-celebration-dhol-video-2783610-2025-09-08 “Typical view in my neighbourhood outside Dallas. We have to cancel the H1-Bs. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India,” read the caption of the post shared by Keene that has garnered over five million views so far. When questioned about the context, Keene explained that his wife had recorded the video because “something was blocking” the road. He added: “Just walking down the street around 7 is like walking the streets of Mumbai.”
  9. but nobody watched public enemy. lion king is for high concept animation, imo.
  10. Flood definitely needs to go.
  11. Not to get too far off track, but you could argue there’s at least a dotted line between individualism and freedom of speech. Egocentric Americans who can’t grasp the greater good are poison for our country. The awful part is, their worst impulses are fomented and validated daily, by the highest elected officials and trusted news sources, no less.
  12. Yeah, Russia did not withdraw from Kyiv because their tank columns were destroyed and their logistics sucked so bad they had no ammo or gas - they withdrew because of requests from Europe….and got played by Ukraine. V-boggers sympathetic to the war did not like what Putin said in China. Several bloggers noted that the entire meeting was to show that China was now the center of power, and that people like Putin were vassals. One of the pro military bloggers said that he felt humiliated by Putin telling the world that Europe and Ukraine played Russia. That is not the look of the leader of anti-western countries, but the sad story of being made a chump and telling it on yourself in front of your boss. Another V blogger said that Moscow was filled with festivals that were all free, and there was free music and art and everyone in Moscow had never had more to do for free. The blogger liked it to a woman who bought and wore a beautiful expensive dress, even though her husband lost a limb in combat and her children had nothing to eat, but she had a pretty dress and went to the party anyway. This was on Constantine’s Inside Russia YouTube channel, and he said the degree of criticism of Putin by the pro military V bloggers was the most extreme he had seen. Apparently Russians don’t seem to care so much if everyone views them as war criminals, just as long as they are viewed as powerful war criminals who are respected and feared.
  13. Bill Snyder created the model for teams like OSU, ISU, KSU, TT, BU, TCU, etc. ; 1. Get a great coach. 2. Schedule non-conference patsies, at home, so you have a 3-0 or 4-0 baseline to start the season with. 3. Run a program that teaches and develops talent. 4. Build stability by winning 6-8 games per year, and make a run at a conference championship every few years. Snyder wasn’t the first guy with the ability to do this. He was the first one after college football media revenue was upended after the ‘80s OU/UGA lawsuit. After that, media was negotiated by conferences, and weaker programs in major conferences could actually afford to play patsies. Before that, teams like OSU and KSU relied on gate for revenue, and had to play good teams. Really, check out old schedules- non-conference used to be real teams, because they needed the gate. Gundy, like Patterson, Briles, Leach, Mangino, Campbell and Snyder before him, took advantage of this era. Small programs still didn’t have the resources of blue bloods, but if they were in the right conference, they had enough TV revenue to fund closer to the big schools, and were given steady games against their conference’s blue bloods, to stay in the public eye and keep boosters engaged. When they hit on a coaching hire, they made sure they paid well enough to keep him, if he was inclined to consider staying. That era is over. Disparities in revenue once again mean disparities in competitiveness, and by an even greater amount. In (what I’ll call) the Snyder era, teams knew they needed to pay their star coaches top dollar, to keep them. Now, they ask those same coaches to surrender seven figures of salary to fun NIL. It will just get worse for B12 schools, because their next media contract will reflect an even greater discrepancy. It’s a new era, and what worked in the last era for OSU doesn’t necessarily work in the new one.
  14. Highlights: -The OL with new roles and new starters, limited in experience, isn't gelling yet. PFF says that several of them are fucking terrible. This will not get fixed or improve. -Fire Flood. -Texas lacks explosive players on offense and will have trouble scoring all year. -Arch Manning throws too many deep balls. -Arch Manning is completing 50% of his deep balls. -The game has caught up and passed the Steve Sarkisian offense by, like it was standing still. -This is not a championship caliber team because of the QB. -This is not a championship caliber team because of the lack of explosive players on offense. -This is not a championship caliber team because of the offensive line and Flood. -This defense isn't stingy enough and apparently gives up too many points. -The TEs are terrible blockers. -Nick Townsend is an awesome blocker.
  15. Oh no, the man who has enriched his family by billions of dollars this year still owes $83M. How will he afford it?
  16. Das wasis!
  17. Probably not a lot of Asians in Stonewall
  18. This could be posted on other threads but it's succinct here. This is Trump's America. A big fuck you to everyone, including the dipshits who voted for him.
  19. Give him another year or so and whatever dumb ass wr coach sark has, will have that coached out of him.
  20. It's why he's already lost interest in this war. Putin made him look like a fool with the Alaskan summit. Went right back to Moscow and kept doing the same thing. And instead of getting tough with Putin, which was the obvious next step, tfg has pretended like it just didn't happen, closed the pipeline of new weapons, and washed his hands of it so he can turn around and make war on American citizens. Infuriating on all counts. But taco gonna taco. It's as I was saying to all the optimists upthread. We know who he is and he will never be any different. Anything else is just wish casting.
  21. I wouldn't even quit my job.
  22. yeah, Jurassic Park is really about the technical aspects. It was a huge leap that shocked audiences but I'm not sure it is a genre.
  23. I'm not quite sure that what he did fell under "official acts of the president".
