  2. This is sort of the cycle of Russian history going back to Peter the Great at least. Some perceptive tsar or advisor looks around and says “this is fucked up. Even the British have it better than us and they live on a rainy rock and drink warm beer. The West has it going on, let’s do it like they do.” Then they embark on a series of haphazard reforms that don’t get at the heart of the issue (let’s make the peasants shave their beards!), it doesn’t work out, the West keeps you at arm’s length, and the peasants are pissed because they just lost their beards but some venal and frenchified count gets a mansion and the peasant girls and the right to sell timber to the Dutch or some shit. So a new tsar or advisor comes around and says that Russia is super special and it went wrong when it stopped doing its Own Thing, and first thing is to start repressing the assholes who suggested getting Westernized in the first place. Then you throw a temper tantrum and lash out at the closest Western-looking object you can find, like Poland; and maybe also put the hurt on some emir to prove that although you’re not “the West,” you’re also for sure not “Asiatic.” And you write pages upon pages about your angst, about how the Poles are assholes and so are the Jesuits, and how the British can never know pure spiritual ecstasy even if they do have the steam engine. It’s worth remembering that even Communism was an attempt to use a Western idea to fix shit in Russia.

  3. Nothing better than a bunch of old white dudes discussing their experiences with cities and the weather as a way to measure what’s most attractive to HS recruits.

  7. I guess it's been at least 50 pages since a dumb fucking geography discussion broke out, so we were due.

  8. What you can expect is that Ewers is named the starter after either the first or second scrimmage. The second scrimmage will have some really big alumni names there, so they may leverage that one to highlight the impact of NIL. Don’t know which one, but they’ll get it done weeks ahead of the first whistle being blown. Anyone who watched Card play last year and then the Ewers recruitment and thinks “yeah, they’ll probably start Card this year” is stuck in a Mack Brown time warp.

  13. If the Democrats weren't fucking morons they would repeat as many times possible that Republicans want to force 12 year old rape victims to have a baby. Quit being nice about it.

  14. This is literally what Texas has done. And Texas has the money and more is coming. Just weak and/or lazy bullshit from Special K, probably gleaned from conversations around Hill. They tried the same tactic on Gullette, Mohammad and Baxter. Now maybe not all of those guys sign with Texas, but it won't be due to NIL. Could it be due to desperate and stupid bags by ATM or someone addicted to bags like UGA? Maybe. My current bet is Texas gets all 3.

  16. This is going to sound like a Nate Bargatz bit but, Wife calls on the way home with the kids. They're stopping at Bahama Breeze (snow cone place). Do I want something? Sure. Pina Colada. 15 minutes later. Me after taking a sip: What the hell is this? Her: Pina colada and pickle juice. Me: What? Her: You asked for pina colada, but I know you also like pickle juice. Me, taking a deep breath:

  19. I truly LOVE this. And this is what he and his ilk do with complete regularity: 1) the court system and the right to trial by jury is sacred! 2) I refuse to participate in your bs court system! I won't respond to any discovery, I won't participate in the process as required by the rules and the law. No, not even after you warn me a dozen times of what the consequences will be! [WELL-ESTABLISHED AND ENTIRELY LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEN ENSUE] 3) I am not getting my right to participate in the court system! All ripped from the pages of "Fuck Around and Find Out Monthly: a journal of shit that happens to dumbasses"

  21. This was the one I've been dreading for years. Bin was so much more than an announcer to this community. He was a father, a friend, a voice of positivity in an often shitty world. He was the constant throughout my life. His voice took you away from wherever you were and gave you the respite you needed. He was simply the best there ever was, and ever will be. My shirt for work today, dress code be damned.

  22. Ok yeah not to confuse you, but because this is actually kinda an easy approach to playing that song (you don’t have to change the shape you are making for the first two chords, you just slide it down the neck), you might experiment with it as you start to get more familiar and comfortable

  23. Camp Day 1 Recap: Kelvin Banks looks like someone ate Kelvin Banks. Alfred Collins has no work ethic and doesn’t care about football. It’s true because a guy who named his handle after Tom Herman said so. Commence meltdown. Also, Texas was soft and entitled when it was charter buses to training camp, but school buses are embarrassing and beneath Texas. Can’t wait for Day 2!

  24. Day 1 we open with a white walk-on starting at Nickel. Outstanding. Light the cigarettes now, gents. We've already been fucked.

  25. Yes to all the things you mentioned but hell no to the importance dropping because of age. GenXer women have never known a world without legal and safe abortions and even though most of us are past our child bearing years, we aren’t going to shrug our shoulders about this because this is just the first volley. And women older than us are the ones who actually fought for our rights the first go around. They’re pissed their work has been undone. I don’t think white men can understand the feelings of historical out groups. Just because something doesn’t effect me personally doesn’t mean I don’t care.

  27. And my dad was part of the US MAAG group advising Chiang Kai Shek’s army how to repel any such amphibious landing on Taiwan’s shores in the 1950s. They have been preparing for 70 years and know everything the Chicoms are up to. And vice versa for that matter.

  28. A little inside trader info. Shelby is saying all the right things but behind the scenes things are a little more hectic. Older brother got signed with the Chargers. Little Sister is a two sport phenom as well. Parents are running all over the place trying to keep up. Dad goes with son. Mom goes with daughter whether its AAU basketball or club volleyball. Little sister has 4 more years of high school so Shelby picking somewhere close would be helpful in them keeping up despite what he is saying in the article. However, when he took his USC visit they asked him to bring the entire fam. Then the vball and bball coaches pulled little sister aside and told her they would give her a dual at USC. They can't officially talk to her due to her age but thats how it went down. So now you know why USC is a heavy lean. Despite that we still may get him. He announces on Sat at 1pm.

  31. Honestly, man, if you don't know how the transfer portal works and when the cutoffs occur at this point, you should do your own work and figure it out through google. This is a terrible post on every level - awareness, knowledge, creativity, confidence, and effort. Get your shit together if you're going to actively post in the season thread. "Hey, closetojumping, you know this is the football board, right?" Christ. Nevermind. Carry on, I guess.
