Ron gave me the time, his advice, and career guidance that took me from a weekend intern at KXAN to a full time producer for ABC Sports and ESPN in less than five years. Always enjoyed those occasions when I’’d bump into him in a press box or locker room somewhere. He was a very kind man. RIP.25 points

I heard that there's not much buzz about anyone besides Campbell at the HS level for this second signing day. The premise that Campbell would go elsewhere was completely dismissed, and by someone who can spot something to consider a risk around every corner. ATM's worked the dads hard in this go-round, including leaping past handlers and trainers. It worked and even caught the usual auction participants off guard. They've bought the moms or dads before, but with less dough and in coordination with the less loyal trainers. This is also likely the case with Jacoby Matthews, who is one of a group of signees that made it clear that they didn't want to go to ATM and the parents ended up convincing them with absolute certainty that that was where they were signing. Perkins is doing what is obvious to us, nothing more. If Texas wants the Moody guy, they can take him. There's a lot of "confidence" in filling any remaining holes with folks announcing transfers this spring before May 1. Mathis is also a "done deal". After so much "confidence" and so many "done deals", any reader of this post should understand that I have none of that and am merely passing on some thoughts for discussion and info from people who know their shit and also knows that this stuff is "fluid", even if the staff still thinks it's coaching at Alabama or something.20 points

Exactly. There is a geopolitical magnet between Berlin and Moscow that simply is not going to be severed outside of extraordinary and/or external events, and geographic areas in between are always going to be seen as collateral issues by the respective federal governments. Germany needs access to Russian resources, Russia needs (or at least really wants) access to the German market. Same as it ever was. I am always hesitant to put much credence in anecdotal experiences, but wife and I were out on Thursday night with a group of friends/friends-of-friends. All between 35-45 years of age. The mix consisted of relatively high-level corporate types and a couple of successful local Munich business-owners. At least half had lived/worked in the US or UK, all were involved in international professional services work of some type, and were generally the prototypes of standard issue Atlanticist/pro-EU stock. Traditional "Ostpolitik" Social Dem voters, Merkel Christian Democrats, Youngish urbanite Free Democrats, etc. Of course, this situation came up over the course of the night, as the entire energy situation is front and center of every news show and national periodical, and to a person the consensus was "fuck any involvement in this and the Ukrainians better not siphon fuel destined for us this year like they always do." Even I, a man married to one of these people and thus well-versed in how cold and indifferent Germans can be, was surprised. Absolutely no appetite to intervene here whatsoever and the SPD has only gained points since it started digging in defense of NS2. I genuinely expected this sentiment from the voting base at large, but I figured that the most highly educated/professional types would be nuanced over it. Nope. Not a sliver of daylight between corporate types that I know and German manual laborers from the former DDR...only difference is the language in which the sentiment is communicated. Same goes for weapons supplies to Ukraine, which even the Green Party Foreign Minister shot down in her presser in Kiev with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister on Monday. None of these people would say this out loud, but in the privacy of other Germans, they don't give a single fuck. https://www.euractiv.com/section/defence-and-security/news/germany-continues-blocking-arms-exports-to-ukraine-due-to-new-foreign-peace-policy/ One of the public broadcasters, the Westdeutscher Rundfunk, ran a flippant piece last week advising the Germans how to prepare for the possible power outages ("embrace the romance of candlelight"/ "use it as a time for good family bonding" type of shit) and holllllly shit did the top blow after that piece ran. Full on outrage in the press that we are even having to discuss this possibility. Opposition political figures from across the spectrum, the Left Party, the AfD and the Christian Dems just blasted the existing government for the risk (which was quite rich coming from the CDU given that they have been in power for the last 16 years, but whatever, politics is politics). But the noteworthy element of the protestations was that there wasn't any criticism of the overall dependency on Russia to power German homes and German Industry...that was just treated as a given and as natural as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. Rather, it was about even being in the situation where the German government would risk energy shortages over this AND it was about the Greens alternative energy plans and the folly of moving off of Russian supply so aggessively. Mark my words...if we get rolling power outages here this winter, the existing coalition will not survive. The public will be completely unforgiving of Berlin, as in their minds, 45% tax rates better equal a damn good energy supply. The political wiggle room for Scholz here is effectively zero and the govt desperately wants to avoid having to decide whether to bow to US pressure vs risk energy failure, because they'll go with the energy supply every time in order to save their asses politically.16 points

So when we physically whipped OU, OSU and Baylor for a half, that wasn't because of S&C but when we lost the leads it was because of S&C? When we got gashed against Kansas State for a half but then all of a sudden figured out how to play the run for the last two quarters, we changed the S&C at halftime? Also, practice structure? We have too many water breaks build into the agenda? S&C is the most overrated message board piñata there is. Not going to pretend our S&C is perfect but we lost games because of the players on the field and decisions on the headsets. We didn't lose to Kansas because of BJ Foster's bench press numbers compared to 2020.15 points

Tennessee fan here. I've enjoyed the comments about Ron Franklin. I had forgotten why he got fired from ESPN, but wow. I guess an early victim of cancel culture. On Tennessee's 100th anniversary of having a football team, we somehow got Ron to narrate this two-part special on our football history. BTW the script calls for him to refer to us as UT. I have other things to worry about than who is the real UT. When people do a poll on that, I always say Toledo. It's long been on the bucket list to see a game in Austin. Hopefully that will happen sooner than later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjCPlflS4Ko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FD8E_HYq9I13 points

If you didn't see the team get fucking gassed in all of those limpdick second half surrenders I don't know what to tell you. One outlier doesn't change that. Herman's teams played through the whistle, even if his playcalling was infuriating.12 points

Every citizen should be automatically and forever registered to vote when they turn 18. They should be issued a free government picture id that gets updated every 10 years. Every citizen should be able to vote by mail or in person. Early voting should be open for 30 days leading up to any election. No polling place should be more than 1/4 mile away. That's a start11 points

So now that he works for UT, I’ll say that I never really thought he was that fat. More stocky. His fashion choices didn’t do him any favors with his hyperhidrosis. So, Coach, welcome. We’ll put you in a white longhorn windbreaker and an AC booth.11 points

Yes. Yes he did. Know what else restaurants require? They make you pay money. Can’t get your dinner at Applebee’s without paying $15. Guess we should do that for voting, too! Your ability to exercise a fundamental RIGHT generally should be less restrictive than your ability to exercise a PRIVILEGE. But I actually do like the analogy for one easy, fat fastball down the middle reason: if the proponents of voter ID laws would make obtaining a photo ID as easy, accessible, and widely available as it is to get a COVID vaccine….I would have zero problem supporting such laws. I can get a COVID shot, usually with no appointment or wait, at two places within walks distance of my house. Probably 10 more within a 5 minute drive. Vaccine shots are frequently available in even the smallest of towns (the kind of places that don’t have a DPS drivers license office) - they’ll put on a clinic at the Dollar General in Goatspleen, Texas. You can easily get a shot in some do the poorest parts of town here. Make a photo ID that easy to get, and I’m on board. Know of any voter ID laws that include any requirement to make IDs anything CLOSE to that accessible? No? Hmmm….I wonder why that is? Could it be that the reason for voter ID laws is NOT to address the non-problem of ballot security, but actually they’re intended to do something else? I mean, being that the very people pushing such laws have ADMITTED as much….it’s a gosh darn mystery.10 points

I'm thinking we see Alabama pull Sarkisian's staff's pants down, then publicly and brutally buttfuck the entire staff on national tv in the second weekend. I'm thinking something that would make Jodie Foster's character in The Accused think the Texas staff got it bad, like 65-10. That begins the process of cycling out the staff, with Kwiatkowski being driven to the city limits and thrown out of a slow rolling vehicle headed north, and Patterson is then named the "interim" DC for the remainder of the year.10 points

Herman's teams were undisciplined, with physically weak offensive lines who couldn't run the ball outside of Ehlinger hero ball and had running backs and WR's who looked and moved like LB's by their 3rd year on campus. If the S&C was so good Yancy McKnight wouldn't be unemployed for the second straight offseason. Herman mastered the late score to make thorough beatings looks like close defeats (Maryland 2017, OSU 2018, OU 2019, Baylor 2019). His teams were whipped plenty of times and I don't give out lollipops for playing through the whistle. We played through the whistle against Kansas after trailing by 21 at half this year if we want to hang our hat on that. The defensive line in 2021 that everyone claimed was so much weaker and caught blocks the whole year averaged just as many sacks per game as the 2020 defensive line that had Joseph Ossai and TaQuon Graham.10 points

I watched the speech and the press conference in their entirety. The President went deep on policy. I was impressed with his command of the issues and his directness. But few Americans care and the Press spins and sells headlines rather than engaging in the substantive issues. For those concerned with his grasp of the issues, watch the presser. I think you might find some solace. He wasn’t my choice for the nomination, but the handwringing is overplayed and wheezy. YMMV9 points

It’s overstating a bit to call the eastern half of Ukraine “Russian” in culture and sympathy. A lot of that perception is based on linguistic maps and voting patterns from pre-Maidan Ukraine and it’s a pretty big oversimplification. Put it this way, I’ve been to dinners in Kyiv with Russian speaking Ukrainians from Poltava and Kharkiv who spent the evening cursing the Russians. There’s a lot of blending and overlapping. One thing that came out of Crimea and Donbas was the hardening of attitudes to Russia in most of the rest of Ukraine. A true “pro-Russia” candidate ala Yanukovych is dead in the water even in areas that before would have gone for the “Party of the Regions.” Ironically, Putin’s intervention probably did more for the creation of a real Ukrainian national identity than any Azov Battalion enthusiast or western Ukrainian chauvinist. Putin kind of forced Ukrainians to choose and looking at things logically— no one chooses Putin’s Russia. It’s not attractive. Ukraine has been investing a lot into becoming a porcupine— of no threat to Russia as an aggressive force or even on the counteroffensive, but a dangerous prey to attack. It’s weakness remains air defense, and that’s what it desperately is asking for help with. In a land war, on the defensive, Russia is going to find a force completely unlike what the insurgents met in 2014. It’s probably better equipped to handle a mass Russian invasion than any force outside of a superpower, as that’s what it’s been monomaniacally focused on.8 points
