  1. Ok but who cares? The answer is: not our donors. Like, of fucking course we're going to have to pay more to get a top recruit, that's obvious. We don't have the history or brand recognition. That shit takes time and wins. Time is free, but how do you get the wins? You need to get players. How do you get players? You pay them. Everyone pays. If we have to pay a bit more then we'll do it because we have the money. It's a really simple calculus that any GM could make in his sleep, and given how many times much bigger brands have tried to poach Blanchard just in the last couple of years, it seems like he's doing something right. Do you think it's an accident that Texas seems to be paying the most football NIL out of anyone? That's how Ohio State won a title, and Texas wants to do the same. It seems like a good idea to me. If you really, actually want to win, you have to do all the things Tech has been doing. Invest in great facilities, pay your players, the only aspect that the jury's still out on is the coach. If he can't produce, we'll pay someone else, and I guarantee you we won't make the same mistakes aggy did. It's like I said earlier, we're very obviously trying to follow the Texas model because it's a good model, and of course there's going to be a lot of catch-up involved. You can't close a gap like that overnight, and hell maybe you can't close it period, but you can definitely get a lot closer. Either way it'll be fun to watch it all play out.
  2. You don't recognize Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell? Fuck you stole my joke.
  3. There's a best buy too
  4. This is exceptionally hilarious considering my post history but go off king
  5. I don't know what changed, but it seems lately no matter how much I dominate a game in the first half, I'll be up like 42-0 and have 6-7 sacks, in the second half the CPU becomes completely unstoppable and has the perfect call for any defense I call, no matter how shitty the team I'm against is. I never end up losing, but it's beyond frustrating because the CPU just drives down the field, suddenly you can't get any pressure at all, your DBs are miles away from every receiver, and the CPU QB has an insanely unrealistic completion rate in the 2nd half. It makes the game really unfun because it's obviously the game scripting CPU drives to try and force closer games for "realism", but it actually makes the game feel less realistic.
  6. Well you see they're not kids and/or black so it's fine.
  7. Are we talking about Israel, where it's estimated one in five women have been raped, where there is rampant gender segregation, where there is heavy discrimination against women in the religious courts that govern marriage and divorce that make it extremely difficult for women to get out of abusive marriages, where "modesty guards" often publicly use violence and intimidation against women they target for any number of made up reasons, and where there are no women in senior decision-making positions in either the government or military? I'm not saying things are any better for women in Gaza specifically, but let's not throw stones from glass houses, what do you say? Nice try, though. Don't worry, I'll be here in a couple days when you come up with your next line of bullshit.
  8. Not everyone has the means to do shit about fuck, and people that don't have means certainly don't have time for political advocacy. Even getting themselves/their families moved anywhere is close to impossible unless they have disposable income. And some (you could argue, a lot) of those people belong to classes of people that are actively under attack by this admin. If you don't need to be hypervigilant, you're lucky. I'm lucky. You're lucky. Probably most of the people that post here are above the median level of privilege in this country, so we're lucky. But not all of us. What do you think is going through the mind of, say, a Latino trans person that's the child of first-gen immigrants right now? They have to be shitting their pants and rightfully so. Telling them to suck it up and enjoy the fact that your football team might be pretty good this year is not really something you should be saying to them if you have any sort of empathy rolling around between your ears.
  9. Goddamn it's amazing how many brand new accounts just happen to find this thread
  10. Well school is starting back up...
  11. I think my favorite films of his are Cool Runnings and Wagons East! Not what would be considered the "best" movies in his portfolio, but I love 'em
  12. You can say a lot about Derka but dude fucking knows ball. And the dumbass vultures that follow him around just to be adversarial like @MotownHorn got embarrassed and can't handle being taken to the woodshed by having their receipts pulled up. Eat shit! Bitch!!
  13. This is just another example in a long list of examples of mainstream Democrats who are considered "good messengers" that are just completely unable or unwilling to read the room. This mealy-mouthed garbage that comes out of Buttigieg's mouth when asked about Gaza should be an immediate disqualifier, considering the overwhelming support for the Democrat base on the side of Palestinians. The question is posed at 41:28
  14. You know exactly what's going to happen.
  15. I love how they just dropped a straight to streaming war of the worlds interpretation starring Ice Cube that no one asked for or seems to like even a little bit
  16. This is, of course, a completely fabricated image. A very poor attempt to look like a Telegram screenshot. Pretty sad that's what he's reduced to, posting nonsense that only fools statsman and refusing to engage otherwise. What a pussy!
  17. Intifada is just a word that means uprising or rebellion. The Holocaust Museum here in the US called the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising the Warsaw Ghetto Intifada until 2024, when a bunch of bleating morons decided using that Arabic word was antisemitic and scary, and switched to using a different Arabic word instead, ironically. Zionism is a political ideology that is inherently colonial and requires violent conquest by its definitional nature. You can try to ponder the differences between them, but it's also important to understand that they are not the same thing at all and the necessarily facist and exterminationist nature of Zionism exclude it from being morally or ethically righteous.
  18. It's just a team name now. It doesn't actually mean anything.
  19. To be fair we lost that game to a single horrible call and the worst good FG attempt I've ever seen.
  20. Shut the fuck up, bitch. Snivelly little coward.
  21. I think ascribing a broad religious motive to what is pretty obviously just a fascist colonial project is pretty silly, and is actually just putting a thin coat of varnish on a big pile of shit (not that I think that's your intent here, I just think you're being a bit naive). There is not a single person in Netanyahu's inner circle that gives a shit about the religious aspects, they just want land and power.
