Pretty huge caveat there at the end.

Things not going well in Venezuela
Demogorgons could rip President Trump’s limbs apart on national TV and you would assuredly be able to get countless interviews with people happy that he’s gone. One’s opinions on regime change does not necessarily mean there’s a blind support to get there by any means necessary. Maduro fucking sucks, but there are obvious ramifications to this shit to anyone who dares live in the real world.

Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0
For anyone wondering her motivations lately, think she let it slip with that last sentence.

Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0
Shit like this really highlights how most of the population is only capable of viewing news items in black and white. Asking “why are you supporting Maduro?!?” to anyone who dares point out the potential ramifications of an event like this.

TIL there’s something called fraud tourism. Congrats, Minnesota.

They probably just spent ten minutes in any locker room anywhere on earth and got more than enough data points.

Ah yes, we’ve reached the “make up insane preemptive reasoning for why Texas is about to beat us for the star player that we actually don’t really even want” part of the offseason.

I understand highlight reels don’t paint a complete picture of a player, but his 2025 highlights contain about 6 catches that would easily be our team’s play of the season.

Again, this era of cfb is profoundly less fun.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
There were multiple times this season where I felt Sark looked disengaged on the sideline. That absolutely was NOT the case yesterday. No idea what it means, no idea if it carries over, but it was notable to me.

I will never forgive this administration for what they’ve done to the perception of government agencies. Reduced them to nothing but shitposters.

Gotta completely rebuild this WR room.

When President Fraud and the Fraudy Bunch are telling me to be concerned about fraud, my bullshit meter goes off bigtime. When I see that the main targets conveniently align with the President’s political targets, the meter explodes. This all might be legit and worthy of concern, but the administration’s actions have made it impossible to view any of this impartially.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
Judging by the treadmill TVs that I see on in the gym, there are a LOT of suburban Houstonians seemingly very concerned with Minnesota daycares right now. It’s fucking absurd the things that they get the population to focus on.

I know this isn’t a groundbreaking thought, but having the sport’s free agency period begin in the middle of the playoffs is the most absurd decision in all of American sports.

Much like those wetting their pants over the losses, I think anyone definitively claiming that this is all for the best are speaking too soon. We only have half of the necessary data points at this juncture, any concrete conclusions (for better or worse) about our 2026 roster cannot yet be drawn.

The GOP Civil War
I know this isn’t the main lesson to be learning (and probably the wrong thread) but this is why I felt like I was taking crazy pills during the election when a lot of my fellow Jews started pivoting to the right. Yes, there are plenty of people on the left who hate Israel but all of the motherfuckers who hate you for BEING JEWISH are on the right.

Assuming her husband is the father (big if), that dude will be almost 80 when the kid graduates high school. Cool plan, guys.

I don’t think lamenting the current state of college football and acknowledging that we are uniquely positioned to benefit from it have to be mutually exclusive thoughts. We will absolutely be fine. I just, selfishly, don’t love that some of the magic that I associate with the sport is gone. But you are correct, come next year I will still root like hell for guys like Jesus Terry and Maraad Watson, who under previous circumstances would never ever have worn the burnt orange.

Yes, I hate all of that. Wisner was a recruiting after-thought with negligible pro talents who stepped up in some of the most important games in recent memory and far outperformed anyone’s expectations. In any other era of college football, he leaves this university as a folk legend and a symbol of the program’s turnaround. Instead, he’ll end up as just another guy from this era whose post-career activities will feature a degree from a school not named Texas. And yes, business is business. I understand why he is asking for more money just as much as I understand why we told him to kick rocks. It just sucks.
