    Trump went out three times to try and make Louisiana tip in the GOP's direction.  I do think that Trump increases GOP turnout, but not enough to push past the folks who are in general no longer considering voting Republican this cycle, and potentially beyond.  I think that without the Trump show coming to town repetitively the gap is more for Edwards.  But who the hell really knows anything beyond the fact that two governorships, and control of Virgina went to the Dems.

    I agree. Trump's appearances really do have a net positive outcome for Republicans, but all it amounts to is just a partial negation of the heavy Dem lean. Replace Trump with some other Republican and there wouldn't be a post-rally R voter spike, but there also wouldn't be the need to hold rallies in the first place.

    Republicans should be thankful he at least has the self awareness to try to clean up his own goddamn mess.

    I think Wilcox is a very good coach, he's done a great job these last two years. I would like him considered when we next go looking for one.

    At Texas? Aim higher. Wilcox still has lots to prove at Cal, such as if he is capable of recruiting at an average level.

    Cal is the current leader for looked great early, then shit the bed on the national level.

    The team has no depth. The drop-off between the starters and their backups is massive.

    This has historically been the case. Wilcox will be the next victim unless he can consistently improve recruiting.

    Winning Texas is a luxury in 2020. If its part of your strategy, you’ve already lost to Trump. Blue wall. IA,  AZ and NC are more likely to go blue than Texas. 

    Seriously. The presidential race should play second fiddle in TX in 2020. Flipping the TX State House is doable, would be fantastic, and should be priority #1 for all Texas Democrats and liberal/progressive voters.

    Lots of people will be out canvassing and phone banking for the eventual Dem presidential nominee. My real hope is that all of them also put forth their time and energy into the campaign of at least one Dem candidate down ballot.

    Tulsi is a really shitty candidate running a really shitty campaign. Her overall motives are murky and questionable.

    That said, any person, pundit, media personality that is taking Hillary’s side on this conspiratorial bullshit regarding Tulsi should be ashamed of themselves. And in totality it makes me question anything they say/think about politics or a particular candidate in general.

    Though the #Resistance might have been started in good faith based on some defensive belief of American exceptionalism, it has transformed into the liberal version of Trumpism. 

    Stop falling for this bullshit.

     

    All of this.

    It is beyond an underachievement for Tulsi to be polling at or below 3% despite occupying a lane all to herself.

    The high stakes of removing Trump have driven normally sane democratic voters out of their goddamned minds. I know because I am one of them sometimes.

    This thread is not about Hillary.

    Oh yes it is. If it wasn't for her, this thread wouldn't exist and instead the Tulsi thread on page 3 would have been bumped once or twice after the debate and then sent back to page 3.

  5. I bumped this thread from page 4. Tells you all you need to know about the league this season.

    1) Oregon - Indisputable

    2) Utah - Current leader in the South

    3) USC - Helton keeps his job at this rate

    4) ASU - They seem good, just young

    5) Washington - Three conference losses? Maybe fifth place is generous...

    6) WSU - Too much love early, too much hate late

    7) UCLA - Streak-breaking wins are worth extra in this ranking

    8 ) Arizona - Respectable season if Tate stays healthy

    9) Stanford - I don't think it's just injuries...

    10) OSU - Beavers have bottomed out and are turning the corner

    11) Colorado - Depth, or lack thereof, rears its ugly head in nasty 3-week bender

    12) Cal -  See #11

  6. Congrats, Bruins. This is a wonderful reminder that all streaks end. Eventually.

    Ah the Stanford campus.

    We built a school in the middle of one of the most vibrant metro areas in the world! And then padded it in a wide belt of landscaping so that day-to-day it might as well just be in Chico but without the hot girls!

    Man, I know that's some people's thing, but I love that Berkeley actually feels like you're in the Bay Area.

    I get you, but that campus isn't exactly a fish out of water in the South Bay. Santa Clara County has the whole So Cal enclave feel to it.

    PAC humor, the best.

    Seriously though, I like y'all.  I'd be delighted if you decided to abandon that boat anchor conference and join the B12.

    Just the California schools of course.  

    Other than Berkeley, obviously.

    Not cool. We enjoyed our visit to Austin.

    This.

    Why is a twice-failed presidential candidate attacking a sitting member of Congress as an agent of a foreign enemy with zero evidence?

    Get your fucking shinebox, Hillary, go collapse in the woods.

    Tulsi flopped in the last debate and she was likely on her way to being an afterthought in the primary.

    Instead, fucking Hillary has given her ammunition for her next 20 Fox News appearances. Not that anyone who watches Fox News matters in the Democratic primary, but there goes any chance of Tulsi going away quietly.

    With that said, she isn't a Russian agent. Any American supporting a draw down of our global military engagement is naturally going to align with the interests of any of our adversaries. The Russians are actively supporting her because Republicans have ensured that they can, rather than because she asked them.

    She IS an attention whore, a trait she shares with Hillary.

    I don't know if she's a Russian plant, but I've read some of her positions and they don't add up to a carefully considered world view.  I can't figure out how she got this far.

    Do I detect sarcasm? 3% in the polls isn't far at all.

    Let's break this down.

    Quote

    Put another way, Warren has not really seen any improvement with non-potential Democratic primary voters over the summer, even as she has dramatically improved with Democrats.

    Who is a non-potential Democratic primary voter? Most of them are Republicans or R leaners. She was never ever going to get their vote. If a poll sifts through the "independents" by asking one's lean, as Q-pac seems to do, a very few number of true independents remain. 

    Here's a clue: the Q-pac poll has her 6 points above water among "indies" in general. Throwing out the leaners, she is probably above water among the true indies as well.

    There's also this.

    Quote

    Biden maintains a clear edge in net favorability (favorable - unfavorable) rating of -48 points versus -59 points for Warren among non-potential Democratic primary voters.

    Republicans aren't going to vote for Biden either. Cool.

    Jesus, some pussies up in here.

    I appreciate him being candid and tough. I also think this builds his type of football.

    Augie Garrido did far worse when he spoke to our baseball players and the guy was a fucking champion...a lot.

    I'm guessing he was candid and tough to his team after UCLA dropped 50 on him in a single half. Lots of good that did.

    When your team gets tripled up, chances are high that there was a coaching mismatch in addition to personnel mismatches or issues in motivation.

  11. 1) Oregon

    2) Washington - One could easily argue for #1.

    3) Utah - Move back into position as #1 in the south, this time with an offense to show for it

    4) Colorado

    5) USC - They need to heal up before they take on the Domers

    6) ASU - Solid road win. They are a good, talented team on the upswing

    7) Cal - They will (only) go as far as their depth takes them

    8 ) WSU - Two losses in a row. Maybe Leach is right...

    9) Stanford - Unimpressive last-minute win at home 

    10) Arizona - See #9

    11) UCLA - A bad team with proven upset potential. Host the Beavs in next week's pillow fight.

    12) OSU - Blew their best shot at a win for the rest of the year...
