    Should we just fold up shop and go home then? Losing Davis was always going to be an uphill battle for this next cycle. No shit Davis has skins on the wall that his replacement doesn’t. 

    Just concerned is all. Maybe Baker becomes a D-line master and recruiting witch, but it's all pretty unknown at the moment.

    Fuck, this thread is disturbing.  Your mind wants to believe shit like this is not rampant, but that's wishful thinking I guess.

    When we moved back to Austin after being gone for a few years, we started looking around for a church.  We're not religious at all but were looking for community.  My wife was raised catholic, and I was raised southern baptist.   Any baptist churches were a hard no based on my experience, but we were very open otherwise. We visited congregations all over town from a wide range of religions, not just Christian denominations but also buddhist, new age/spiritualist, etc.  We spent six months visiting a different place each week to find a good fit.  It was insane how desperate many of these groups, particularly the christian ones, were for new members - especially if you walk in the door with kids in tow.  Almost every one of them, after an initial greeting, tried to separate us from our children.  I understand it is typical for many places of worship to have the kids off in one place and the adults in another, but the places that argued with us when we said our kids would stay with us were immediately removed from the list.  It happened a lot.  I don't think they were all child molesters, but holy shit, you could see the hunger in their eyes.  I didn't want to just assume it was the prospect of fresh young blood in the congregation that had them so excited.  Ultimately, we just bought a boat and spent Sundays outdoors. Sometimes I worry about the isolating aspect of not being part of a large group, but we actively engage in our neighborhood and keep the kids engaged in activities with other children.   

    Religion is in a sad state of affairs in this country.  The only places that seem to be attracting attention are those douche-canoe-laden nondenominational places with bad music, vanity pastors, and a bunch of dummies who show up every week to be fleeced.  I'd rather rot in hell.  Especially when the evidence makes it very clear that your kids are in genuine danger if you take them to church, I don't understand why anyone does so.  It's easy to assume it won't happen in your church, I guess.

    I don't think you would.

    Most of the places are dying though.  Even the Catholic church has a huge shortage of priests.

    This thread makes me feel physically ill.

  3. Is Gideon that bad of a coach?  He has had the least talented group on the roster.  The safeties seem to know where to be, but they’re just slow like their coach.  I’m a lot more concerned with the play from the CB’s and the talent level there is much higher than at Safety.  It’s also possible that I’m a fucking moron.  Both things can be true.

    Someone posted the other day that this guy has as much rep as he does because he's spent time in the Cloak Room and struck all of the right chords and got pumped up that way. I think it's fatwa time, personally, and if someone in the CR is counterbalancing that shit, they should get some fucking negs too. Rep from the CR causing threads elsewhere to get fucked up by idiots has been a problem from inception. 

    I realize that Jayden de Laura was a minor when he forcibly and violently raped a friend of his in a stairwell and all, but I hope that motherfucker gets ostracized from ever getting any further chances in college sports. Go get your second chance waiting tables or working construction, you piece of human shit. Motherfucker.

    Looks like you hurt one of the Cloaktard's pussies.  🥲

    Did you watch the fight? Strickland's face was fucked up and he bled a ton. His eye was slicked open and had a nasty cut up on the head. 

    It's scored by round and 2,3,and 4 Du Plessi controlled the fight, landed the harder shots, and got Strickland to the ground repeatedly. Du Plessi also pushed the pace and walked Strickland down all fight which almost always plays well with judges. 

    It was close and the score cards showed that. Split decision with no fighter winning by more than 1 round on any card. Absolutely nothing corrupt there. Strickland has a great jab but really did nothing else behind it for most of the fight. No effective combos, no kick game, and was either walking backwards looking to sit on the jab or trying to get up after getting taken down for the entirety of the middle 3 rounds. Hard to win a decision like that. 

    I saw him piece the South African up.  Strickland’s face opened from an inadvertent headbutt.  Easy decision.  Still the champ.

  6. Strickland won the fight.  The judging is corrupt.  They gave another fighter the L earlier that night because damage…there is zero consistency.

    In a close fight the champ should take it.  To be the man you gotta beat the man.  Does the South African look like he won a fight?  To me, it looks like he got his ass whipped.
