  1. I put it in the other thread, my idea would be to play division only with 2-3 weeks in between games and division champs play each other in a championship game. It's just not feasible to play weekly because outbreaks are going to happen and happen often. With 2-3 weeks between games, you can feel safe playing the next game (I know in reality it's not safe because college kids are idiots and will be partying during those weekends but this is all theoretical). The Big 12 can split in to north and south again (South = UT, TT, TCU, BU, WVU; North = OU, OSU, KU, KSU, ISU). The major clusterfuck is going to be sorting out records for the CCG when a bunch of teams will have had games cancelled. Imagine if a school avoids one or more of the better teams due to outbreaks while other schools play all the best teams. How do you apply record fairly for CCG purposes? It is going to be so fucked up if they play.

  2. Wtf is this shit? The blandest most boring of pasty white guys is hawking “rock and roll” tequila? What does that boring ass face have anything to do with either of those concepts? Didn’t he make like $5 million a year for 20 years? What are they paying him for literally the lamest ad imaginable for a tequila brand named Rock and Roll? OU fans don’t even drink tequila, too Mexican, they drink bud light and probably make their margaritas with mccormicks vodka.

    Doesn't that play in Trump's favor? "Look at what I'm trying to do for you and the Democratic Party is fighting me."

    Nobody who falls for it was voting dem anyway. A true centrist will remember that they called Obama a dictator for executive orders and his were closer calls constitutionally than trying to control the purse. The fake centrists are trumpkins who don’t want to admit it publicly.

    Yeah, I don't see Catholics as monolithic.  There's one strain, that I call the Opus Dei'y types (Kavanaugh, Mel Gibson, Escriva) that are pretty hard right, but there's a strong liberal tradition in the Catholic church.

    Many of latter types, in my experience, are less "devout" and less outspoken about their Catholic faith. There will always be the publicity of priests and even bishops who try to deny democrat politicians communion, and the Catholic Karens and Kens ostracize anyone in the parish who they know is a democrat voter and takes communion (because being a democrat is a mortal sin due to our love of throwing babies into wood chippers). The church also isn't budging on the evilness of the gays and more and more people are just seeing how fucking stupid it is to think gay people are deviants who are just acting funny to piss off jebus. Yes, my tone is what it is because I was in my mid 20's when I finally came to terms with the mental and emotional damage the Catholic Church did to me in my younger years (and I wasn't even molested by a priest, more self-loathing and depression thinking I was truly sick and evil for acting on sexual urges as a teenager and for refusing to think gays were evil). Sorry for thread drift, just things that get me riled up with the issue is raised.

    Seems like it matters quite a bit more than usual in this situation if Biden ends up winning. He's like 78. Even if he stays healthy for the whole term, he's only doing 1 right? Gotta think the VP would have the inside track to the 2024 nomination in that scenario.

    I think it depends on their thinking. If this is the thinking, I think he will be pressured greatly to pick Harris. If not, it'll be Rice, who he likely is much more familiar and comfortable with. 

    Either way, the biggest part of this election will be the Obama machine when it really ramps up. He is still popular and will give Joe a boost, especially if trump keeps on with his dimentia filled nonsense and racism.

    Biden's comments about the Black/Hispanic vote is a big nothingburger. The "you ain't black" comment was a true gaffe. 

    It was dumb and not a nothingburger, but I hope that most have figured out by now that his heart (or more specifically his politics) are in the right place through these verbal fumbles. Especially in light of his opponent.

    Seriously, Biden is deeply religious. Trump is.... not. That is beyond chickenshit and team Biden needs to hit back on that hard. 

    Meh, I don't really care about this one. Biden is devoutly Catholic, and there are tons of Catholics who will agree with trump on this one because he's a Catholic that dares to be a Democrat (i.e., he loves carving up infants on the weekend for fun). Its one of a billion reasons I left the Catholic church many years ago. They are the same as the rest of the large majority of American Christians, complete fucking hypocrites who cling to religion as a means of dividing us vs. them. And yes, I have found more and more Christians who are part of denominations that are not like this, but they are a tiny minority from what I can tell.

    wow. Rice is out! see this  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/susan-rice-trump-supporting-son

     

     

     

    "His mother said she believes, for both her family and the country, in respecting those with differing political views"  Hard left will not respect people with differing political views. 

    Dick Cheney's daughter was gay married when like only 25% of the country supported gay marriage. He also talked like a supervillain and shot a guy in the face. You're overthinking this. Nevertheless, the more I've followed, I'm not leaning Harris.

    To answer your question: the bomb/attack theory was bouncing around social media and then boosted by the president who claimed his joint chiefs told him as much. Joint chiefs said that they said so such thing, and then the president back tracked to the public line by the Pentagon.

    There is not a known/public credible report that this was an attack, and there is considerable evidence that this is maladministration/negligence by the Lebanese government to store explosives in such an unsafe way for so long. My money is on plain old incompetence, negligence, and maladministration by the Lebanese govt/port authority

    Yep, that seems to be almost certainly the cause. Someone asked earlier, but usually some group of radicals will claim credit even where it's not credible. None of that here? I read that there are letters to certain administrators over many years outlining the danger and asking for a solution to have the materials removed which went ignored. If I were on the receiving end of those letters I'd probably just take myself out because the magnitude of this fuckup is beyond comprehension at this point.

    F'ing amazing. Back in the 1920s, they announced and promoted upcoming area Klan rallies during Texas A&M home football games.

    "Good negroes have the protection of the KKK"

    Somethings never change. Aggy fans today love their black players, unless they dare speak up in support of racial justice. Those who stay nothing are "good ones" who aggy luv. The rest are just typical n-words, like Mond, pull their scholarships!!!

    Trump's only response was that the NRA needs to move to Texas. Not railing against the Dems or anything like that. 

    Of course he may be tweeting at 2am that its time for the NRA patriots to rise up, but right now he is almost punting on it all. 

    Aggy's gonna give him a library, aren't they. Right next to GHWB, but much bigger, the biggest, plated in gold, with a moat filled with "lib tears." 

  12. Just heard on the radio that the city only took 20% of the blast. The sea and the silo took the rest of the blow. That’s insane how powerful the blast truly was. The shockwave is mesmerizing to watch.

    I'll bet a pizza that the joint chiefs didn't say that and will have to awkwardly correct the record in cr fashion.
