  1. Well apparently I do come up with good site mottos...
  2. You are so stupid it's actually painful.
  3. Yeah, my point is I've literally never seen or heard anyone say that outside of terminally online circles circa like 2018 or whatever. It's so niche and irrelevant I had literally pushed it out of my brain entirely until you brought it up.
  4. Yeah no shit dumbass what do you think the word "imply" means
  5. Screenshotting so this little bitch can't later claim he didn't heavily imply he wants Derka to kill himself: Jesus christ dude, get a grip
  6. I simply call people what they want to be called and don't give it a second thought beyond that like a normal person
  7. You're deranged and need therapy. Get off the internet.
  8. Nobody gives a fuck about pronouns other than a very small cadre of "SJWs" and a shit ton of weird conservatives and they're all terminally online
  9. It's doubly dumb because being here "illegally" isn't even a crime, it's a fucking civil matter.
  10. This is where we agree. Obama did the latter.
  11. They've been mailing them to the B12 office en masse too
  12. No it's because of pronouns you idiot
  13. Go be a pussy somewhere else, nobody gives a fuck
  14. Ain't nobody talking to you bitch
  15. I agree with you mostly but cancel culture isn't real, at least in the way people frame it wrt: The Groups. If anything, the realest cancel culture ever gets is the shit the Trump admin is currently pulling.
  16. I mean BO&W is literally mouthbreathing all over the thread, so it's not that shocking.
  17. How many votes did this cost Kamala Harris?
  18. Saw that last night, that's devastating for Cincy, they were already fairly mid.
  19. Thanks for clarifying, though I still disagree to an extent but you are 100% right about social equality not being a substitute for class solidarity. I'm aware of The Groups, and still think they are an easy/lazy scapegoat and that you probably listen to Ezra Klein way too much.
  20. You support Cuomo over Mamdani. You think being anti-Israel is a losing position. You think open support of LGBT people is a losing position. We're not the ones internalizing Republican framing, buddy. Turn that mirror around. You're completely captured by internalized MAGA framing and you don't even realize it. You still haven't provided that data I asked for.
  21. There is almost a total US media blackout on this situation. Completely captured by Israeli interests.
  22. Yeah it looks like you just had one of those seasons where you lost a big chunk of players off the top right at the end. Interesting approach to recruiting, personally I don't bother targeting anyone that doesn't have interest and I fully scout everyone I target just to make it feel more real/immersive, and I dump all the potential busts. That way I don't have to dump a lopsided amount of hours into most prospects, with a few exceptions here or there. I generally end up with 7-8 5-star guys and 20ish 4 star guys every season now. I haven't signed a single 3 star in probably 5-6 seasons besides an occasional rare exception at a high need position with a potential gem or kickers/punters. I force every upperclassmen that hasn't climbed out of the high 70s or low 80s to transfer, unless they are actually needed for depth. I also redshirt as many players as I can get away with, down to the minimum required 3-deep at every position besides WR and CB, and aggressively manage my depth chart, especially at all the niche spots like RRE. I recruit to basically the same style, I run the veer and shoot with a heavy emphasis on the run, short passes, screens and RPOs. I have found that (at least against the CPU) that passing the ball deep is almost never worth it unless they are single covered and very obviously have their man beat. Otherwise I run a lot of slants, crossing routes, stop routes, and screens with heavy emphasis/usage of RBs and TEs. Usually about 55% pass/45% run, depending on the opponent. I've only recently started using RPOs a lot more, they're a bit tricky but very effective once you get the hang of it. A couple of interesting things I've noticed are: I think my style of play has made it difficult for me to recruit top-shelf QB talent, as I haven't had any first round QBs (I don't think) and all of my Heisman winners have been RBs. I also haven't been able to close the deal on a single 5-star QB to date, although this cycle I think I may land my first. I think this is pretty cool and lends a degree of realism to recruiting. I've always had solid QBs but there haven't really been any superstars in there yet. The transfer portal seems pretty light every cycle, I've certainly pulled some great players out of it but compared to real life it seems a bit slim, and I don't think I've ever seen a 5-star prospect in there. Also, nice coach name lol
