  1. You're deranged and need therapy. Get off the internet.
  2. 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
  3. It's doubly dumb because being here "illegally" isn't even a crime, it's a fucking civil matter.
  4. This is where we agree. Obama did the latter.
  5. They've been mailing them to the B12 office en masse too
  6. No it's because of pronouns you idiot
  7. Go be a pussy somewhere else, nobody gives a fuck
  8. Ain't nobody talking to you bitch
  9. 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.
  10. I mean BO&W is literally mouthbreathing all over the thread, so it's not that shocking.
  11. How many votes did this cost Kamala Harris?
  12. Saw that last night, that's devastating for Cincy, they were already fairly mid.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. There is almost a total US media blackout on this situation. Completely captured by Israeli interests.
  16. 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
  17. That dome must not be quite as good as was rumored
  18. Interesting, perhaps you should elaborate. Which special interests would cause Democrats to lose elections? Do you have data to back this up?
  19. How have you been recruiting and I assume you've been in the CFP every year? It can sometimes be a bitch if you don't know how to game it, it took me probably 5-6 cycles to really get the hang of how to maximize my chances. Obviously I was playing Tech and I had to grind out like 3 nattys in a row at the beginning of my dynasty before I started getting a critical mass of great players interested enough off the jump. Now I'm like 10 years in and I have to fuck up real bad to not get 7-8 5-stars each recruiting cycle, starting out top 5 every season and have been 99/99/99 rated for the last 3-4 seasons. I feel like I could write a damn book on how to game recruiting now but it's pretty easy when you win a bunch of nattys in a row. I also realized that scouting and picking the right dudes rather than just looking at their ranking is actually a lot more important than it seems at first.
  20. Hamas accepts proposed deal for ceasefire with Israel and hostage release, Egyptian source says | Reuters
  21. I grew up with the Lebbys. Jeff's dad was my HS football coach, his mom taught me in middle school, and Jeff was 1 year behind me. They're the kind of people that will do or say anything to make you like them or to get ahead and are just irretrievably rotten on the inside. Jeff was a 4-star OL recruit out of HS but it was an open secret in town that he had severe back issues and would likely never play a down in college. It's funny because it happened to OU, but they basically scammed them out of a scholarship. Jeff showed up to camp fat as fuck and out of shape and Stoops shamed him in front of the whole team, and his back issues were discovered shortly after. Stoops was livid but they honored his scholarship so he got his free college.
  22. I was just outside this photo. We were not popular.
