  1. Midwestern State did something similar over the weekend. Defeated Simon Fraser 77-0, with SFU gaining only 61 yards total offense. https://msumustangs.com/sports/football/stats/2022/simon-fraser-b-c-/boxscore/11775 ”But slugga, I don’t even know who Simon Fraser is.” You wouldn’t unless you’re a devoted D2 football junkie…or you live in British Columbia, Canada. Yes, you read that correctly. Even more bizarre? This was a Lone Star Conference game. Again yes, you read that correctly. The LSC has been so desperate to replace all of the recently departed (Tarleton, Abilene Christian, etc) that they’re apparently willing to reach across international fucking borders.
  2. Well I see that someone clearly had something specific on his mind…
  3. Yet another MVP performance by the league’s most valuable player, since he is the most valued player in the league. MVP
  4. “It’s the theory that you shouldn’t be critical of other races!!!”
  5. He is no iron-born. No iron-born, he.
  6. But see, that’s something they cannot say.
  7. That’s always going to be true regardless of what y’all’s records are. You could face them 8-3 vs 7-4 and it’s still going to be the big circled calendar date of the year. That’s what makes rivalries special, not championship implications. The championship implications aren’t going to be there every single season. And that’s not unique to college football, either. Back in 2009 I coached at Wichita Falls High School. The team was terrible. By the end of the year, they’d gone into the final game 2-7. No playoff spot available to them, no real purpose to the rest of the season, right? Except that last opponent was Wichita Falls Rider; their arch rival…who was also entering the game 2-7 with no shot at the playoffs. There wasn’t an empty seat in that stadium, and it was known to be that way well in advance. In those games, the records don’t matter. In 1997, Texas and Oklahoma met in the cotton bowl, and neither team had a winning record (Texas was 2-2, OU was 2-3). The stadium was filled to capacity, again as expected. It’s also well understood that a big part of your job as head coach of either school depends on whether or not you can beat that team across the river. If you can’t, you’re not gonna last long. Again, the argument that expanding the playoff diminishes the regular season relies on inherently fallacious reasoning. I can find no better example of a non sequitur than that. Well maybe I can find a contender…
  8. Aside from the fact that again, this is an issue between a woman and her doctor, or a child and her parents and the doctor they choose for her… aside from the fact that parsing out whether or not the pregnancy in question really is a result of a rape is not as simple as the girl says so and the doctors have to believe her…aside from the complete indecency of this argument, it’s fraught with gaps in how to deal with certain scenarios. So say a female (pick the age, don’t care) does get raped and is beaten so severely as to render her unconscious and she’s out for a couple days. Plan B only works when administered 3 days or closer to the sexual event in question. You show me a female that was beaten and raped so severely that she was out for 4 days in a hospital and I’ll show you a female who has no use for Plan B. Or, how about she doesn’t lose consciousness but she is admitted to, let’s say, a Catholic hospital and they refuse to give her a plan B. What’s she supposed to do? Flee from her room and run down to a CVS in her gown to buy it? Furthermore, plan B isn’t as simple as this…simpleton makes it sound. The way it works is it stifles ovulation. But if you’re already ovulating, it won’t work, which is one of the big reasons it’s considered 57-93% effective. And one would be a shitty person to assume “well no rapist would rape a girl who’s ovulating.” But see, that’s just the thing. None of this is as simple as these idiots think that it is, which is just another reason that the conversations themselves are totally inappropriate. This is like a bunch of women debating at what age a man has to undergo a government forced vasectomy. Oh and “just feed ‘em a plan B” might not even be an option if those 6 morons on the SCOTUS have things the way Uncle Ruckus suggested. So again, fuck off to people who see brilliance and talent in arguments like that.
  9. There’s also the added element of the absence of any reason to believe that it “marginalizes the regular season.” That’s just a form of extremist religious dogma that was concocted by fanboys of the bowl system. As far as actual logic is concerned, it ranks right up there with belief in the firmament.
  10. Not to mention a 12-team playoff (or even 16) would make it the most exclusive playoff in the entire sport from high school on up. Nobody ever says that, though. Some always like to whine that this or that number is “too many” without ever giving a clear definition of what that even means or why it’d be a bad thing. It’s just all about the whims and wishes from the bedtime story people.
  11. Fibra de carbono, calibre .28, fabricado en China. Si quiere matar a un servidor público, señor Maradona, le recomiendo que compre argentino.
  12. Isn’t this a bit like saying “dishonest liar” or “gay homosexual?”
  13. Yeah that would be totally inappropriate if any of us mentioned the head stain.
  14. As I’ve said many times before, right-wingers are not in the slightest bit interested in having schools teach American history. What they want is for schools to teach American mythology and call it “history.”
  15. Must explain why textbooks also offer apologetics for McCarthyism.
  16. That’s exactly what you just did. You falsely asserted that “the left” controls education and when called on your bullshit dishonesty, you projected about such people living in a fantasy land. That’s just more assert-the-opposite. You can’t even get off the starting block of “first, define what the political left even is.” The reality I live in recognizes that the state of Texas in particular does teach or is proposing to teach whacked out nonsense like: -Moses should be taught as part of US history -Africans were not brought to the US as slaves; they came here as part of an involuntary relocation program -The civil war was fought over states’ rights. -We also have quite a few states that teach abstinence only education, which happens to be in the states far in the lead in teen pregnancies, repeat teen pregnancies and teenage abortions (and if I’m not mistaken, teenage STI’s), which incidentally is the failure the teachings of the religious right have always been known to be. In addition, just within the lifetime of a lot of people who post here, we’ve had to go to court over: -Whether “intelligent design” can/should be taught as a science -Whether compulsory prayer should be permitted in public schools -Whether black children should be able to attend public schools with white children Yeah, owned by “the left” my ass. There isn’t a single shred of evidence you could demonstrate to reflect that. If you could, you’d have done that already instead of that pitiful tactic known as leaning into your own feelings and emotions.
  17. I live in reality. You’d be able to recognize that were you to try it once in a while. Might wanna start with learning what “the left” even is.
  18. They would be better were it not for all the damn MAGAts on the team
  19. Except you didn’t call a spade a spade. You lied; the exact opposite of calling a spade a spade. The “left” has about as much control over education as the Nazi party has control over San Francisco swinger groups.
  20. I mean just knowing that they’re going to should be reason enough. I can’t understand anyone who’d think “well i know uncle Ruckus said they should do that, but it probably won’t be until later so I’ll sit this one out for now.”
  21. It’s a work. He’s trying to negate mens rea by making people think that he legit believes that he won the 2020 election. It’s a cynical ruse at best. If he really is telling lawyers that, then that means he’s just like a bad combination of Andy Kaufman, Alan Dershowitz and Terry Bollea: never off the work.
  22. They don’t have enough money to pay after the negative scores would be tallied
