Well, that's pretty damn different than what the article conveys, but also not surprising. Just goes to show that a writer ought to read the bill they're writing about. The disappointing part is that the article is still more complete than most of what we can find out there. Not much info on the post, but that language on it is so broad that it could mean everything, or nothing. I'm sure we'll hear plenty about it in the coming days. Trying not to go CR, but if there's anybody I don't want ruling unilaterally on college sports, it's Donald Trump. Not sure he's even a real sports fan, but he's definitely more confident in his own correctness about everything than would seem helpful here.

Auto-bid is as auto-bid does. My chance of getting in Florida now with the grades I had then would be <check notes > approximately zero. Big prestigious state university with great sports? Does your kid enjoy burning couches?

It’s really not. You’re just a brain dead moron without two brain cells to rub together. Go to TexAgs already, moron -
Yeah, it's art work. It's even better how he opens admitting weak SEC OOC and 8 conference games only to double down with a Corsoesque "Not so fast my friends". Art and a narrative directly designed to press the gas pedal on the roller-coaster climb while building in "I told you so" for later in the season. In the words of the immortal DOC, no one can do it better.

Any theories as to why they made Trump Canadian in this South Park episode?

From the Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2025/07/24/ken-paxton-private-lawyers-texas-cases/ One day in late May 2024, lawyer Zina Bash spent 6 1/2 hours working on a case against Facebook parent company Meta on behalf of the state of Texas. She reviewed draft legal filings. She participated in a court-ordered mediation session and then discussed the outcome with state Attorney General Ken Paxton. In her previous job as senior counsel on Paxton’s leadership team, that labor would have cost Texas taxpayers $641. But Bash had moved to private practice. Paxton hired her firm to work on the Meta case, allowing her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work will cost taxpayers $24,570. In the past five years, Paxton has grown increasingly reliant on pricey private lawyers to argue cases on behalf of the state, rather than the hundreds of attorneys who work within his office, an investigation by The Texas Tribune and ProPublica found. These are often attorneys, like Bash, with whom Paxton has personal or political ties. In addition to Bash, one such contract went to Tony Buzbee, the trial lawyer who successfully defended Paxton during his 2023 impeachment trial on corruption charges. Three other contracts went to firms whose senior attorneys have donated to Paxton’s political campaigns. Despite these connections and what experts say are potential conflicts of interest, Paxton does not appear to have recused himself from the selection process. Although he is not required to by law, this raises a concern about appearing improper, experts who study attorneys general said. Paxton appears to have also outsourced cases more frequently than his predecessors, available records show. And he’s inked the kind of contingent-fee contracts, in which firms receive a share of a settlement if they win, far more often than the attorneys general in other large states, including California, New York and Pennsylvania. Since 2015, the New York and California attorneys general have awarded zero contingent-fee contracts; Pennsylvania’s has signed one. During that period, Paxton’s office approved 13. One of those was with Bash’s firm, Chicago-based Keller Postman, at the time known as Keller Lenkner, which she joined as partner in February 2021 after resigning from her job at the attorney general’s office. Paxton had signed a contract with the company two months earlier to investigate Google for deceptive business practices and violations of antitrust law. A little more than a year later, Bash’s firm won a state contract to work on the Meta litigation, alleging its facial recognition software violated Texans’ privacy. This time, Bash was the co-lead counsel. Meta, which called the lawsuit meritless, settled the case for $1.4 billion in the summer of 2024. It was a windfall for Keller Postman. The firm billed $97 million, the largest fee charged by outside counsel under Paxton’s tenure. Bash’s work alone accounted for $3.6 million of that total.

I mean, perhaps he's better at football than we're assuming? Cards on the table, I'm high on Parker Livingstone for the vibes and memes rather than anything football related, but are we just taking it for granted that he's not very good? It's his second year in the program, the reports from camp are good. At 6'4" he's our tallest scholarship WR. I don't think he's WR1 or anything but I wouldn't be shocked if they had a role for him to play.

He's going to fire Powell. Powell dared to fact check him about the Fed building renovations that the idiots on the right are trying to use to justify firing Powell. You want to watch the economy implode, that's the point it will happen. He's such a fucking idiot toddler.

You’re just upset because 50 years from now people will be looking at the Mount Rushmore carvings and wondering why Trump’s head is damaged by so many drone hits, and how strikingly perfect the artists got Senator Collins’ furrowed brow. -

Aren't we just kidding ourselves that such a finish will take the sting out of not being in top 3 in June? I guess it's an okay consolation prize, but let's not lie to ourselves. June recruiting is where it's at. -

I have to say the very early returns on Schottenheimer are all positive. Of course, time will tell, but he's upbeat, he's energetic, he handles himself great in pressers and answering the media. The updates with shifting and movement on offense were needed. He's starting to convince me this running back by committee may actually work.
