Shit, man. Sorry to hear it.

I'm sincerely sorry to hear about your job and your mom, man. And Tom Herman, but we all know that shared pain.
Sorry. Here, I'll zoom in for you.

There are too many reasons to count. The complete absence of reason from the incumbent President and his supporters suggests to me that simply having reason is enough to support Biden.
But I'll list them anyway.
- Biden is saying all the right things about uniting America. He is right dead in the center.
- He's not going to be a left-wing loony and he is not a socialist.
- He's going to listen to what the scientists say on COVID and lives will be saved as a result.
- He is not going to separate families at the border or throw them into concentration camps. He is not going to randomly deport people who have families here.
- He is going to pursue sensible foreign policy, strong against the terrorists and enemies of the state and friendly with allies we can benefit from -- the exact opposite of what Trump has done.
- He respects the institutions of democracy, that our families and ancestors fought and died to institute and protect.
- He also respects where those institutions have completely and utterly failed black Americans and how they need to change.
- He respects our military and, unlike Trump, understands what they fought and died for.
- He is not a laughingstock for our enemies.
- He will not tear America down the way Trump has.
All of the above apply to Kamala as well.

I should probably update my previous post to just say "Having a nervous breakdown." I might block off my work calendar for the rest of the day with that message as well.
I lost my job yesterday. Coupled with the loss of my Mom, Tom Herman continuing to coach at Texas, and this, I'm already there.
But at least I can have some fun on the way down.

No, no, see, even the IDEA that he’s calling for violence makes you a “kook.”
First: You're not a kook, you're a loony. Totally different.
Second: I've said repeatedly that it is not merely the idea that he's calling for violence, but that you think it'll set off some kind of civil war.
Third: The fact that you repeatedly get these things wrong only reinforces the point that you're a loony, totally detached from reality.

Nope. See the numbers above, 45%. If you stood here and told me "hey, good news.....55% of your body mass is NOT deadly cancer!".....I don't think I'd be relieved by that supposedly joyous news. This perspective is fucking nuts.
Did you literally just compare Trump voters to cancer?

Hmmm, it's 5:30PM in Texas ... is it time to start drinking and inventing panic scenarios yet?

Woman Hopes She Did Enough Worrying To Help Biden Campaign
ERIE, PA—Waiting on tenterhooks on the eve of the election, local woman Elise Stalter expressed her hope Monday that she had done enough worrying to help the Biden presidential campaign. “I’ve been panicking pretty much every day for the last few months, but now that there’s only one day left, I wonder if I could have done more,” said Stalter, admitting that while she had regularly taken to the streets to collapse in a puddle of despair, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she could have gone even further with her mental breakdown. “I’ve been sending out texts telling everyone I know that I’m constantly on the verge of a full-blown anxiety attack, and I’ve spent hundreds of dollars supporting a variety of self-soothing products. Now I just pray that I’ve experienced enough existential dread to make a difference.” At press time, Stalter consoled herself that she still had almost a full day to slip into a catatonic state.

Enough with the both sides bullshit. Point to a place where Dems actively disenfranchise Republican voters.
Every single person who's mentioned packing SCOTUS, for example.

Brisket is often too pessimistic. But he’s not a kook. The GOP filed numerous lawsuits requesting that the courts throw out whole categories of votes. Think about that. Is that something that happens in a healthy democracy? Fuck no.
Thank god this judge did the right thing. But don’t diminish the seriousness of one major political party waging a widespread war on democracy. If Biden wins tomorrow, we need to spend the next four years working to unfuck national politics. Because things are pretty fucking far from okay right now.
Edit: not so fast...
Let's be clear here. He is not a kook to think that a small number of nutcases, our current POTUS included, are going to try every trick they can to fuck up getting themselves elected out of office. They can, and they will. You can sue anybody for any reason in this country, as long as you pay a lawyer dumb enough to do it or file the suit yourself.
Where he's a kook is that he thinks the rest of America -- from rank-and-file citizens like you and me, to the courts, the House, even his own hand-picked SCOTUS members -- will put up with that bullshit, or that any of his ranting will even benefit him. Hell, he's shooting himself in the foot big-time.
For example:
Let's take these 3 Gore vs. Bush lawyers that are now on SCOTUS.
Do you remember precisely why the counts weren't changed? It's because Florida had tried to change their own rules in the middle of the counting. That's what SCOTUS ruled that they couldn't do. Florida tried to change the rules to make them more fair, granted. But what SCOTUS ruled -- and the Bush lawyers argued for -- was that the states were eminent in determining their own election laws, and that they couldn't change those laws after-the-fact.
Now, what is it exactly that we're afraid Trump will do?
Change the laws after-the-fact or override the states' own laws. When he himself has 3 people on SCOTUS who argued against just that.
Remember, too, that these people are on the court for life, or until they decide to quit. There's no tit-for-tat here. They can rule however they see fit, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop them. Trump has no leverage on them.
In other words, once you actually look at the facts and the data and the evidence, this whole line of alarmist bullshit is absolute kookery.
Brisket believes what he believes because he believes it and despite the mountain of data that shows he's wrong. That is what makes him a kook.

Let's be clear here.
We didn't beat a Top 10 team on the road.
A Top 10 team proved itself unworthy by choking to an unranked us.
They had what... 4 turnovers? 5?
Our product on the field was the same crap it's been all year. No pulse from Sam throwing in the first half. Countless dumb preventable mistakes and penalties. Tons of on-field talent out of position and lacking discipline.
We got lucky that OSU did their annual thing that they always do with Gundy -- shit the bed against an inferior opponent. Sad thing is, we aren't inferior, talent-wise. We just are because of crap coaching.
So don't tell me some magical lie about how this changes anything. We are who we thought we were, and Gundy let us off the hook!

i'm reminded of the looks on the faces of many of my co-workers that didn't vote in 2016 because 'they were both terrible'. i heard numerous variations of 'i didn't think he would win!'
perhaps many of those folks realized the actual consequences of their non-action.
I think this can't be understated. People realized, between then and now, that their vote actually matters.

Cliff notes: Axios reports Trump intends to claim victory if he is in the lead on election night. This surprises no one. Trump denies, which of course means it's true. Admits they are going to start suing the night of the election to stop counts.
They may try. They will fail.

I want Tom Herman gone as much as the next guy. Actually, maybe more so.
But there are no good losses, and no bad wins.
I'll take it. Suck it, Okie Lite.
I have personal reasons for hating OSU and knocking them out of the "lossless" column is always delightful.
