I didn't know you were a Red Raider. You're correct, I wasn't taking a shot. In fact, teams like Tech and others appearing high in the rankings with good teams is something I enjoy about the chaos of "NIL." I saw Tech very little this year, your defense was a pleasure to watch. At this moment, paying players has the unforeseen effect of greater parity. I'm not crazy about the term "blueblood" or the bickering about who is or isn't one. Great tradition doesn't entitle anyone to anything.
Of all posters, I figured you'd be most interested in watching this if you haven't already run across it. Insane that any of this should be a consideration, though. Invading Greenland? Mistake of a Lifetime - Here's why - YouTube No idea why this YT video won't embed.
Yeah I don't know for sure what any of these guys really believe but a lot of it is just something to say. That fucking sex creep coach at Michigan also said lots of God stuff. Just like people say thoughts and prayers when in fact not many of them are actually kneeling and praying about whatever it is they are saying they are praying for. It is just something you say.
The real answer is that a lot of these athletes don't believe in any of the shit they spout after a game, it's just whatever their agent told them to say. When you praise Jesus for a win with the cameras in your face, and 2 hours later you're doing cocaine off of a call girl's ass and an hour later trying to figure out what to do with a dead hooker, you're probably not all that big into the whole religion thing.
The truth just might be that this year's Indiana team is just like 2019 LSU. They're "that fucking team" that put it all together at the right time because of coaching and team cohesion. They are a unicorn and not something every SEC, ACC, or Big 10 team can replicate easily. It could also be another instance of a team of veteran players rallying behind a great QB. Miami could very easily beat this team with their defense. It could be a really fun title game. It would be nice if we could just sit back and let it play out instead of trying to think piece this team to death.
Pretty sure Techportalinsights forecasted Coleman to Tech over what was said to be the greatest steak dinner in history. But that was after aggyportalinsights forecasted Coleman to A&M following Coleman's visit to Reveille's gravesite where he broke down in tears and tore his clothes and vowed revenge.
Yep, Abbott doesn't appoint him unless he does 100% as Abbott says. McCoy about to burn all of the goodwill he's ever built up with UT alumni. I would love to be wrong and for Colt to stand up for UT, but Abbott wouldn't have appointed him without knowing where he stands on the various issues.
lol Alabama fans are trying to spread the rumor online that Indiana is cheating à la Michigan There will be a lot of salty people if fucking Indiana wins the NC (which they are going to).
I'm not sure it's what he always wanted. But several days ago, his Auburn wide-receivers coach took a job with Alabama(?) and that might have some influence on his decision.
It's less "emotional conflicts with political opposition-aligned citizens" and more asymmetrical GOP "emotional conflicts with perceived team-aligned citizens". You saw it in the 2016 GOP primaries where every Republican candidate was saying the same thing the left was saying about Trump. Then they kissed his ass. You saw widespread condemnation of Trump within the GOP in the immediate aftermath of Jan 6, then within weeks, boink! Alex Jones got his start on Austin Access filming cops and making alleged law enforcement abuse his raison d'etre. On a recent Bulwark podcast, they point out a massive 35 point swing in opinion on getting involved in Venezuela amongst Republicans polled within a 3 week period after Trump took out Maduro (and left the rest of his party in power). There's very little "political" alignment involved. It's just whatever Trump wants today regardless of what he said yesterday. @4:40
