  1. Past hour
  2. I don’t think carnage and an injured Gyökeres was part of Jover’s plan.
  3. utee94

    A&M at ND

    Yup y'all got the ol' Texas in the b12 treatment. Sucks doesn't it?
  4. Yeah, I mean logically I get that, but it just is hard to comprehend. The drive to bang is the most powerful one there is, and there's more girls than guys, so I just can't see being stopped by the interwebs. But obviously something is going on.
  5. I admit, I enjoyed watching her speak.
  6. Eze and Gyökeres chances… nearl
  7. I don't know dawg, seems you are the one with no actual knowledge about his beliefs. It's been proven over and over and over again in this thread.
  8. You didn’t have social media in high school to keep you indoors (literally) and not go out to see people in the real world. These kids were set up for failure.
  9. They are starting for PSV today in the Champions League. Gladbach fired their coach 1 game into Gio's stint with the team (and 3 into the season). Hope that works out for him.
  10. Waddlington has obviously read Rippetoe's Starting Strength Basic Barbell Training and subscribes to the methods described there as "Strength = Ability to Apply Force against an External Resistance." What he leaves out is that Rip also says that a novice will demonstrate incredible strength gains for months or even years, especially a genetically gifted 18-year old, even in a sub-standard training program. Basically if you weight train an undertrained novice, they will progress, period. Of course a better program with a Novice Linear Progression is always best. If Waddlington is going to go with Rippetoe, the better definition would be Power (aka Explosion), which is the ability to express Strength rapidly. The standing vertical jump is a good examples of demonstrating and measuring power production vs. squat or deadlift for strength. Unfortunately, power is less trainable than strength, it's very genetic. Nowadays, kids showing up are usually trained. They've been doing weight training for 5-8 years at least. They're beyond the novice phase and into intermediate where the gains are slower. So the training programing needs to be different. I suspect that while yes maybe the S&C program could be improved, the issue in the o-line is less raw power and more technique (pad level, leg drive), genetic gifts, and especially coordination. It's not lack of strength that is making our O-line trip on their own feet and fall on their face, or dive and miss a cut block, or miss on a reach or combo block. https://startingstrength.com/article/the-state-of-strength-conditioning-coaching
  11. Yeah I feel comfortable saying you're racist
  12. Great supporting role in A Bridge Too Far. Hail Mary, full of grace!
  13. The next positive thing Ryan Niblett and Aaron Butler do on offense will be the first positive thing. It absolutely is not helping that we are having to play those guys meaningful snaps against any opponent on our schedule. I'm not the biggest DeAndre Moore fan, but he is Calvin Johnson compared to Niblett and Butler.
  14. Ok. So he debated well. Did ever say anything you'd put on a poster? Anything that would resonate with a non-Christian or a non-conservative?
  15. We're still calling this a war? To quote Animal Mother, "this isn't a war. It's a slaughter." Brave fellows indeed in their jets and tanks blasting the fuck out of a town filled with starving refugees. Who would have thought that sanctions threatened two years into a genocidal attack wouldn't work? I'm sure another round of international condemnation will put an end to the starvation of tens of thousands of homeless children. Shalom! We're really really alarmed now, goddamn you! Really really really alarmed! So alarmed are they that they are rolling out the word genocide as though that was the mark we had to hit before shit was bad for the civilian Gazans being bombed, shot, displaced, and starved for two years. That word has been used as a wicked semantic crutch to make everybody not feel so bad about the slaughter. It's the triple dog dare of international impotence and moral vacuity. Has the UN pronounced it a famine yet so that the NYT and CNN can apply that word? Got to have a quote before you can declare what you see as what you see. Motherfuckers. Haven't seen such bravery since the German Army cleared the Warsaw Jewish ghetto! Thank merciful Jesus that our president applauds!
  16. That's because the regime has made it very clear that there is only one criterion that matters in bidding, contracting, etc.: loyalty and fealty to the regime. Not only does the quality or price of the product or service not matter, "high quality at a good price" is a net-negative, because such an approach presents limited opportunity for grift and enrichment of members of the regime.
  17. Got it. And not only fair, but absolutely accurate. The speed with which companies shifted from "we should have a DEI program to work towards a more balanced, high-qualityworkforce" to "yes, we're going to bid on that gas chamber project at Auschwitz, and here are the names of all of our employees who have ever said anything disloyal to the regime" is disappointing. Not shocking or surprising, but still disappointing.
  18. This is actually very true. I work for Lockheed and we had a meeting a few weeks ago to brainstorm ideas on how we should compete vs "distruptor" startups that don't have to go through the rigorous processes that established companies like LM, Raytheon or northrup have to go through during development. These "distruptors" have ties with people within Palantir and with Elon. And there's the threat of the pentagon cancelling contracts next month (beginning of the new fiscal year) and putting them out to bid again.
  19. Dest and Pepi starting for PSV in one of the first games of the day.
  20. The study of my happiness vs bank balance says it's true.
  21. Why does Ryans have such loyalty to Dare? Game-losing fumble against the Rams Whiffed on a pass block that ended in a sack
  22. Figueredo bullseye. KInda long but worth watching.
  23. Studies have shown that's not exactly true.
  24. This situation kinda reminds me of when Zuckerberg had to testify in front of Congress a few years back, and it became very clear that the old politicians have no idea how social media/the internet works and he could relax and wipe the floor with them. The world is moving so fast and the internet has provided dark corners that most are completely clueless about. Even a 25 year old probably has no idea what HS kids are doing these days.
  25. King's X (connected to Lucy's) on N. Mesa for day drinking. Classic dive bar that's been there at least as long as when I was in school, 79-83.
