    I wonder if there is any amount the Russians can offer the rebels to allow them to stay. If the new leadership truly is open to friendship with Israel, then they should be with Russia as well, for a price. Russia really needs those bases.

    This makes sense but I think the challenge is that Russia has a pretty rough history with Islamists in their own country. If they cut a deal with the new Syrian government it’s only going to embolden the groups in the Caucasus. Either way, this is a problem that they definitely did not want to deal with.

  2. Do they attack the western coast now? I know the maps say that those cities are still under “Syrian government” control but I’m not sure that has any meaning at this point. Who is going to coordinate the defense? The wild card is Russia’s naval/air base in Latakia. I’m not an expert but I’m guessing you can’t pack up your stuff and leave in a few days, especially when the air space all around is you is unsafe. Could we actually see this fall as well?

  3. Iran, and to a lesser extent Russia, are looking pretty pathetic right now. The network of Iran-backed armed groups are being absolutely demolished - first by Israel and now by the Syrian rebels. The remaining fighters are probably going to look to cut a deal sooner rather than later. It will be interesting to see the ripple effects that this has on the region and globally.

    The defensive series in overtime was a little odd. There was no way Kirby was going to let Stockton throw into the end zone. Every play was a run or a throw at or behind the LOS and we stayed in two deep the entire set. 

    Lastly, here is their scoring play. The circled guy is Trey Moore. Really odd to see him lined up at LB. He was late to react and was sealed off on this play.

    The second image makes it look like he should have been tackled for a loss. How did the DE and LB both whiff here? I see there’s a pulling guard, but still.

    False start on a FG. That shit is genuinely uniquely shitty. 

    The kick return to start the game… why?! 

     

    The opening kick return was infuriating. After playing the entire first game pinned against our goal line, the returners should have had it drilled into their head that they do NOT return any kick that they catch in the end zone.

  6. Assad family will probably fly out of Damascus in the next 24-48 hours with the plane loaded up with as much gold and antiquities as it can hold. Destination Moscow, of course. One thing that seems consistent in ME conflicts is that the fighting groups rarely have real “loyalty”; whenever the battlefield circumstances change, everyone wants to cut a deal with the winners. The Syrian army will abandon Assad as soon as it’s clear that he’s going to lose (AKA right now). The retribution will be brutal. Civil wars rarely have a pretty end.

  7. Clearly something went seriously wrong inside the program after Texas took them to the woodshed in the B12 championship game. What made a successful coach 20 years ago, or even 5 years ago, isn’t what makes a successful coach today. OSU would do best to cut the cord right now and search for diamond in the rough in the D2 / coordinator ranks. They also need to accept that their future is going to look a lot more like the 90s than the 2010s.

    the aggy belief system religion cult requires pyle to have magical, supernatural powers which renders aggy invincible against the big evil liberal sipping burnt orange devils

    saturday night was the aggy equivalent of a failed 2nd coming of jesus christ

    But as with all cults, the failure of prophecy is nothing but further proof of the evil of our enemies. The only cure is for you to send me more money. The REAL rapture is next year.

    That call was 100% in line with how they called it that year. 

    IIRC there was a “point of emphasis” in college officiating that year that any helmet to helmet contact against a receiver was an automatic personal foul. It was right around when the CTE lawsuit was filed against the NFL so the NCAA was really trying to crack down.
