  1. It still blows my mind that in four years of Harbaugh's tenure at UM he hasn't recruited an elite QB. He's had five different starters at the position, two of them transfers, and they all suck. Jake Rudock, the grad transfer from freaking Iowa in Harbaugh's first year, may have been the best of the lot. 

    I figured Jim would probably sign the #1 ranked pro-style QB in the nation in his first or second year by telling them he recruited and developed Andrew Luck and that he'd do the same for them. Heading into 2019 he should have an experienced senior QB who's on everyone's Heisman watch list. With his history at SDSU, Stanford, and the 49ers, how could he not recruit some golden boy from California to run his offense? Especially with USC being down. Has there been no stud from Mater Dei available? 

    I'm not complaining. But I am scratching my head. I don't get it.

    This would be a dumb move. 

    6 weeks ago, I would say “This makes sense.”, but after watching the Browns since Gregg Williams & the QB Coach became the OC, I would think that even the Browns would know better than to “fix” the best coaching setup that they’ve had in decades. 

    It's like you've never followed the Browns at all. 

  3. Also, of course the troll thinks truth and comedy don't go together. 

    Ever heard the expression: "The greatest truths are said in jest" or "It's funny because it's true?" Satire is high comedy and it's based in truth. Its power lies in its ability to reveal essential truths about our existence. 

    Chrispy probably gets off on low comedy. Racist jokes and bathroom humor. No thinking involved.

    It is aggravating having to hear government workers whine and moan about a 10 day shutdown.  I wish they would stop.

    I wish there was no money to be made in your line of work.

    Richt can recruit lights out and he can get players up for the average games, but when the big one comes he shits the bed pretty much every time

    he is the guy that tried to climb Everest for 12 years and a row and always crapped out 200 yards from the top until he was just climbing up there knowing he was fucked even half way up

    for some coaches it is just not meant to be

    By all accounts he runs a clean program. There's never been a whisper about NCAA violations connected to him. 

    You can't win at Miami that way.

    That's not what she said. 

    "Abedin last year claimed she had no idea why some of her official emails were found on her ex-husband’s laptop, and she did not surrender the computer to State Department investigators when she turned over other government devices to authorities.

    Investigators later discovered that days before the 2016 presidential election, Abedin was forwarding sensitive messages to Weiner so he could print them, which led to the FBI reopening a probe into Democratic presidential nominee Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

    Republican nominee Donald Trump ran negative campaign ads during the presidential race about Weiner, a former congressman who had resigned in disgrace, after the laptop allegations surfaced."

    --> Note once again Trump campaign was focused like a laser in time to amplify it. 

    Also, Flynn and Rudy both tipped their hand about knowledge of an October surprise in advance of Comey's letter to Congress.  Of course Flynn is cooperating.  This part of the investigation would interest Comey on a personal level, as does aspects of Trump's probe for obstruction of justice.

    I think if I had done something really stupid like forwarding confidential emails to my spouse, I might claim to have no idea how they got them. And then not turn over my laptop to assist in proving my innocence. Did Weiner say anything to corroborate her story?

    That Newsweek article says she sent documents from Weiner's laptop. Is that a typo? It also says she was forwarding emails to him. If the Russians had control of the server, that should be easy for the FBI to figure out. I remain skeptical. To say the Russians engineered that suggests a level of penetration beyond anything else we've seen in the campaign. I think it could just as easily be explained by your typical Democratic bumbling.

    “Target”? Only in the broadest sense of the word. They haven’t even interviewed him. They have simply requested to interview him. 

    Fitz is set for life in Evanston. He'd be crazy to take another job, especially in the NFL. I don't even see him using it as leverage for a pay raise which he'll likely get anyway for winning the division. The school has shown an amazing commitment to him and the program, pouring a ton of money into new facilities. They may not be able to make him the highest paid coach but he's got job security like no one else in the profession.

    I believe had there been no direct coordination with Russian actors, the Comey letter would have never been written, or produced on the eve of the election Oct. 28th.

    The letter was a product of Clinton emails appearing on a laptop owned by Anthony Weiner and in the possession of FBI as evidence in a separate investigation.  How those emails found their way onto that laptop and the timing around their "discovery" and subsequent actions taken appear to have been highly coordinated and timed for maximum impact.

    I remember landing at Louis Armstrong airport in NOLA that Friday 10/28/16 and turning on the rental car radio set to right wing talk and by the sound of it thought some kind of national emergency had occurred.  It was the buzz at the conference I attended. 

    And there's a fair chance it was a dirty op involving the now apprehended, extradited, and charged Russian hacker Yevgeny Nikulin coordinating with certain US persons. 

    The emails appeared on Weiner's laptop because his wife Huma Abedin, part of Clinton's campaign staff, forwarded them to him. I don't see how the Russians could have had anything to do with that.

    I went to see The Wall the night it opened in theaters with a buddy.  We both dropped acid.  That was one serious whoa night. 

    If you haven't dropped acid and watched The Wall, your life is incomplete. 

    When I was in school, a friend got one of those plasma balls. Like this:

    768px-Plasma_globe_60th.jpg

    It had an audio setting where it would read various frequencies received via its microphone and that would dictate how all those beams emanated from that little central orb. We dropped acid and, once we were peaking, played Dark Side of the Moon.

    That was mind blowing. It gave us a custom animation for every song. And they were diverse, unique for each song. It actually gave me a new appreciation for the depth of composition on that album. Talk about visualizing the music. At one point the lightning bolts seemed to be marching like the Nazi hammers in The Wall. 

    It was amazing. And it wasn't just hallucinatory. We did it again some time later and the output from the plasma ball was exactly the same. Still fun but a movie we'd already seen.
