  1. I agree that we missed on bringing in an impact edge player - maybe we should have paid Mathis what he was asking for. But Diamonte Tucker-Mathis was potentially a big pickup at LB. He’s exactly the kind of guy who has kicked our asses at the MLB position at places like Baylor and TCU for years.
  2. Russians are evil pieces of shit.
  3. The Russians that don’t brain-drain themselves and leave the country seem to basically be sheep. They’re pretty much willing to take unlimited abuse as long as it comes from Mother Russia and not an outsider. They’ve also been conditioned to not speak out under any circumstances, otherwise they’re off to the gulag. It’s a sad sight, really.
  4. Who is going to play QB for the Browns when Watson is suspended?
  5. That’s not how I interpret it…technically, Crimea doesn’t need to rebuilt right now. Although it probably will be after the massive battles that take place there. Ukraine has been pretty open about their intent to retake Crimea.
  6. I could see the big conferences only have eastern / western division championships (based on regular season results only - no championship game).
  7. We should probably try to win a conference championship this year. It’s about to get a lot harder.
  8. If conferences reach 20 teams then what does it even mean to be a “member” of that conference? You play 5-6 opponents yearly, and then rotate 3 opponents? So you end up playing your “conference mates” every 4-5 years? Kinda sounds like the out of conference scheduling agreements we have now. I get that it’s ultimately about TV contracts and money but the whole thing seems dumb.
  9. Even though I don’t speak Russian, I can sense the desperation in their voices. They’re now saying things like “we can rebuild our economy” instead of “the sanctions didn’t work, we’re stronger than ever”. Sorry guys. You fucked around and now you’re going to find out.
  10. The effect that < 10 HIMARS are already having on Russia’s ability to press forward really underscores how seriously a NATO force would obliterate them in a direct conflict.
  11. For the first time in a long time, it feels like we’re recruiting the type of players necessary to compete at the highest level.
  12. The top 25 guys get a tour card. You can get there by accumulating points year-round (like the FedEx Cup) or by winning / placing highly in a couple of key tournaments to end the year. Not sure how the math works out for Coody since he only started competing late in the season, but a win today certainly won’t hurt.
  13. It appears that HIMARS is going to make a big difference. I understand why it took time to get them going though. You can’t give someone an advanced rocket system without 100% of the proper training. I hope they have good missile and counter battery defense systems to protect them because they’re extremely valuable.
  14. If Finland and Sweden are prevented from joining NATO - by Turkey, Bulgaria, or someone else - we’ll form a “Baltic Security Organization” with them, Norway, Denmark, etc. The mutual security arrangement and the benefits that it provides will not be prevented. All of these assholes would do well to accept whatever “concessions” we’re offering or else they’re going to fuck around and end up with nothing.
  15. This may be the first time that Ukraine is primarily dictating the terms of the engagement. At least, it’s the first one I know of.
  16. Seems like the soldiers defending Sveredonetsk were given the tough task of holding out while the real action was set up down south.
  17. Maybe they could sign the peace agreement in…I don’t know…Minsk? Certainly Russia wouldn’t violate it, right?
  18. It seems to have dawned on the Russian command that Sveredonetsk holds little strategic value. They’ve had their thumbs up their asses for weeks while Ukraine started their move on Kherson. I imagine it’s not going to be easy to try to reposition all of those forces to mount an effective defense.
  19. You’re right. Macron has been desperately searching for a way to surrender since before the invasion began.
  20. I don’t think there’s going to be any appetite to reduce the sanctions. How would the West benefit from that besides a possible (slight) reduction in energy costs?
  21. It’s clear that this whole thing is about Putin still being butt hurt over the loss of the Cold War and his desire to restore the old USSR. Looks like the battle for Kherson is going to start soon and due to their myopic focus on Sveredonetsk, the Russians appear unprepared. Very nice.
  22. It was obvious that he didn’t have anything left last inning.
  23. I have a bad feeling about Hansen this inning.
  24. If there’s one thing you find in every great CWS team, it’s a TEAM ONLY meeting where one group berates another group for their poor performance. aggy is truly a bastion of great leadership.
