    OU’s “Champ BBQ Weekend” turned out to be a giant wet fart. They landed Jandreau because his parents pushed him to stick with his brother. They landed a kicker. They landed a 3 star Edge over UCLA and Colorado. 

    Throughout the weekend, Nagy was live tweeting hints at big things about to happen, getting posters worked up. I’ve listened to this guy over the years and there’s always been a hypeman element to him trying to rally viewers and participants to the Senior Bowl in Mobile. I didn’t realize that would carry over into OU GM territory. It’s gotten to where the sooner posters have rapidly gone from “Trust Nagy!” to mocking his tweets. It’s glorious to witness. 

    Afterwards, multiple other “big” targets indicated to the Sooner Illustrated mods that they were now looking elsewhere. The overriding theme? Oklahoma is poor. They wanted competitive offers to compare to other schools and they didn’t get them. 

    They lost an IOL from Pasa-get-down-Dena! who is now choosing between TCU and UH. The guy went to OU this weekend, the mods said OU felt really good about the visit, then they spoke to him later in the day and he said he was choosing elsewhere. 

    Same story for a 4 star DT they really wanted. 

    They’re also all over a WR named Dandridge that Georgia really wants and expects to land. The mods are trying to keep hope there while clearly concerned.

    The mods and a board “insider” are all now talking about OU prioritizing the portal over HS recruiting and telling board denizens to stop focusing on the HS recruiting rankings. In the span of 48 hours. “Expect fireworks in the portal in December!”

    That program is heading south in a hurry. They’ll have a decent team this year, but sustaining any bounce back will be elusive.

    We are zero serious as a society about actually fixing the education process.  We seem much more intent upon destroying it. 

    When your argument is that government schooling doesn’t work, but people don’t believe you and facts don’t support you, the only reasonable recourse is to get elected and make the schools worse until people agree with you. It’s what god wants.

    Currently reading mark espers memoir, irans attack today is a near copy of their 20’s response. Essentially just theater with very detail and advanced warning so the US knows not to raze the country. It allows them to save face. 
     

    Where it will be interesting is to see how Trump team frames things. They were VERY quick in 20 to claim zero casualties and essentially zero injured/damage. only to find over 100 troops were flown to Europe for traumatic brain injury (which according to esper, trump essentially called them pussies)

    the magazine for real men

    Trump rates the Americans: “they’re pussies!”

    Sure but through layers upon layers of laundering and conduits to avoid repercussions under international law of direct acts of war by a sovereign internationally recognized nation against another.

    So what repercussions can the USA expect under international law for bombing a sovereign internationally recognized state against whom we are not in a declared war?

    I agree that he's begging the iranian nuclear question insomuch as the reason he's had to do this is because of what did previously did to tear up the previous treaty.

    It's creating a solution for a problem you created and whether it's because of gross negligence and error or calculated political shrewdness and evil, the result is the same-- a pretty solid show of force against an American, Israeli and really "Western" enemy.

    Yes it’s full of sound and fury, but what if it’s signifying nothing?  Meaning maybe they moved the material to safety prior to, and have lab setups elsewhere in which to continue their work, and still have or can obtain people capable of moving the program forward. 
     

    the world already knows we can bomb the shit out of any dot on the world atlas. 

  6. Trying to understand the var call. Goal scorer was off on the initial ball in, but isn’t the one that plays it. Then a tico defender put him onside before the ball is played to him.

    It's not fringe. Holy shit, do you live in a bubble or something?

    Guys like Mike Huckabee, the United States ambassador to Israel are marginalized nationally? How does that even make sense? 

     

    He doesn’t think they’re fringe, he thinks they’re not extremists because he thinks their views are mainstream Christian views.
