  1. Past hour
  2. Talarico is legit, but can he beat Cornyn? That's asking a lot.
  3. Just exclude them entirely until they behave like every other program. Fuck the whole way off, Notre Dame.
  4. Yeah the ACC is sitting over there saying, what the hell did I do? Is whiny Pete thinking the ACC colluded with the committee to get Miami in? I guess Notre Dame can try to get their special deal with the Big 10 who will tell them no. Or the SEC, same thing. Or the Big 12, well...no.
  5. They are selectively enforcing laws as it is! They illegally paid the military with donations from a billionaire during the shutdown- they aren’t funding programs already budgeted and authorized by law. It’s good to ask the question but this admin is lawless and isn’t bound by constraints
  6. ^^ this. Even before we decided to stab ourself in the face, China has been moving their influence all of SE Asia, Africa, LAM and a touch of Europe. Mining, heavy metals, food and fuel, and government leverage. And thats not to say they don't have problems, they have a metric fuckton of problems. Of course one wonders how much of this matters when the goddamn AI shitstorm comes home to roost. And it will. This shit in Venezuela is certainly of interest re: Taiwan. America in ME, America (kinda) in Ukraine, and now LAM. What a shitshow. China sitting back taking notes. Speaking of China - watch this. Absolutely fascinating how we/they are destroying the goddamn oceans
  7. Would like to keep K. Black. Wonder if another year removed from the injury could get Williams back to where he was before getting hurt.
  8. That's the kind of question one might ask of a 17th century British monarchy. Here in our modern democracy, the "power of the purse" has been assumed by our Dear Leader.
  9. When I think of Indiana, I think of their emphasis on aggressive serving. and the entirely unsuccessful campaign a bunch of posters on volleytalk mounted to get Steve Aird fired for being abusive to his players (allegedly). They don't even have a traditional libero, after losing Gary to Texas. Their back row defense is incredibly sus, although they do pretty well in blocks per set at 2.45. The #2 v #3 matches should be compelling. That's what I'm most excited about. I seriously doubt we see any upsets of #1 seeds in this round. Next round, sure. There's just such a big gap between about the 10th seed to the 12 through 16 spots (well, USC is knocked out, so substitute Cal Poly in there).
  10. I changed it to just grant byes by ranking but you could do it any way that's agreed upon. It just shouldn't change week to week like it has this year. I understand that objective rankings are virtually impossible but it would be miles better than the way we decided it this year.
  11. He's headed for Ben Affleck country
  12. So much potential but turns out the dude was made of glass.
  13. If you really want it to be like every other sport, you have to get rid of all polls and rankings and guaranteed byes for conferences. Otherwise, it's still a subjective list. To get a true playoff you have to restructure the conferences. Until we do that, this is going to continue to be based on voters and rankings to some extent, which is not how a true playoff field should be determined.
  14. It's a good point. On the flip side, I think Miami's line and Carson Beck are going to really struggle with A&M's pass rush.
  15. SAMs on drones seems like a losing proposition. Very easy war of attrition. $Drone < $SAM < $Fighter jets. Don't want to be going left in that equation.
  16. Navy for the Win.
  17. Doesnt matter. OSU took out a much more promising Texas team in Jerryworld last year. IF aggy happens to win, they will lose to OSU.
  18. Yep, that's still where we are in Texas. James Talarico is the best shot the Dems have. White guy who talks about Jesus a lot.
  19. You think there’s more to it than he wants more money than we’re willing to commit to him? I think 99% of the time we’re going to see portaling being about a) NIL commitments and b) playing time.
  20. https://www.outsports.com/2025/12/7/24123424/world-cup-2026-pride-match-fifa-seattle-egypt-republic-gay-lgbtq/
  21. People ask why I don't want to see Pulisic in the EPL - Here is a perfect example of this. Jesus Christ!!! The moment the shine is off, OH IT WAS THE ENGLISH GUY!!!!
