  1. Haha! The conversation was about his first few starts at QB and he mentioned going to Lincoln when it was sleeting and he was bundled up while the Nebraska D-Line guys still had their half-jersey's with exposed bellies. Kinda funny.
  2. I'm pretty sure they are made by maga church people to try and soften their image. The specifics are pure CR, but I can assure you the people behind this are not "pro-immigrant" in any meaningful way.
  3. I wonder how many "edgy" jokes will be told in the coming weeks about Kam and DEI on Kill Tony.
  4. I've seen some clips from Kam Patterson, including on Kill Tony, and he's pretty funny, but sort of one note. Not sure how or if it can translate to sketch comedy, but we'll see I guess.
  5. An OSU fan somewhere sold their soul and the future of the program for those two last Bedlam home wins. He looked damn good in the two dives he got. Defense was a lot better. OL still stinks.
  6. This is where I’m at, great player, rarely seemed to be a game changer.
  7. Meh, seems fine to me, all things considered. LOL at any comparison to Luka. That was by far the worst trade in sports history, and in contention for the worst business deal of all time in any industry.
  8. We spent the previous several seasons winning games by tiny margins and needing big comebacks. It masked a lot of issues of coaching and depth. The OL was a particularly bad situation. Alan Bowman didn't forget how to throw and Ollie Gordon sure af didn't forget how to run. The OL had a few injuries and it all went to shit. Rumor I read was that the OL coach Charlie Dickey checked out a few years ago and Gundy was blind to the situation. Bowman was always a statue and needed protection and Ollie had no paths through the line of scrimmage. A few injuries on defense also was like a switch from decent to giving up 30+ yard passes multiple times a game. Most of all, in my opinion, the coaching staff got schooled on the portal. The rest of the conference used it wisely through lateral transfers while we only really looked to the lower divisions. Gundy has to shoulder a lot of that but I really feel his old school staff was likeminded and nobody really even tried to figure out how our competitors were using the portal. We did much better this year and I've read and heard that the defense looks much improved and much tougher overall. The OL is still a major concern. We're starting TCU transfer Hauss Hejny (Hoss Haney) at QB who was one of the fastest QB recruits in the country a few years. I think the hope is that his speed can get around some OL deficiencies. He's never thrown a college pass though so that is everyone's key concern. Nevertheless, we won't learn anything tonight (unless we lose in which case fuck it all). We'll do the typical Gundy vanilla playbook and likely escape with a 7-10 point win. Our best teams of the last 20 years always played G5 and even FCS teams close to start the season for strategic reasons that still don't make a lot of sense to me but whatever. I just hope we look competent and that we can avoid a blowout next week in Eugene.
  9. Oh don’t worry about that, erasing slave narratives from the Smithsonian will make it all better.
  10. I literally forgot the last game of the season until I went to calculate the dates lol. We literally gave up to get it over with.
  11. Zeus not only cares, he's absolutely giddy he can use this to rail on the existence of trans people. Just over the moon with excitement.
  12. Don't forget UT-Martin @ OKST tonight at 6:00 on ESPN+! Chance for us to win our first game in 348 days! I guess it gives us two extra days to prepare for the Oregon beatdown?
  13. Tarriffs are taxes. Tax cuts for the wealthy are upwards transfers of wealth. They are taking away Medicare. All of this is being screamed from the Dems and others. It's being hammered over and over. It's not working because the majority of American's are immune to facts or don't care. Newsom's tweets are more effective than all of that because it cleanly and concisely establishes that trump is a stupid piece of shit. We've established that the majority doesn't give a single shit about policy. Screaming it louder will not make a difference. They're doing it nonetheless and like you I can only hope that I'm wrong and it somehow breaks through by 2026 midterms.
  14. I have some limited experience here and, unless I'm missing something in the last few posts, it's odd to me that there's not a recognition of psychologists who are pretty good at determinining true gender dysphoria from confused children who might be trying to fit in with a particular crowd or who are seeking attention. I feel that's overlooked in bad faith by too many people when it becomes a political football (not the posters above to be clear but the national conversation on the topic). They speak is though people are just changing their genitals on a whim and that kids can just walk into the pedatricians office and get reassigned if they feel different. That's not how it works. It's why the South Park episodes on the topic piss me off, they just walk into the doctor and get altered. BS. Also, there's not "more GD" going on, just like there's not "more" gay people that in the past, we're just now in a world where it can be openly raised and discussed than in the past where it could literally lead to imprisonment or execution. There is more questioning going on because there is more out there on the topics but there aren't "more" people who are truly GD it's just more open and can be identified better than in the past.
  15. We're a disgusting, irredeemable country. Fuck each and every person who votes republican. At this point, fuck anyone who didn't vote against it, I don't give a single shit what your "reason" might have been, you let this happen, so fuck you in your fucking face. Kapernick was before his time, fuck the pledge of allegeince, fuck the national anthem, we're a dispicable country full of dispicable people. Everything that was good or has ever been good about the USA is done for, period.
  16. This came up in another thread yesterday. Do what? Even armed revolutions require that the majority, and usually the vast majority, of the people oppose the regime (not to mention that the US military has 10 times more firepower than past regimes that fell to revolutions, they could put down a 5 million person march on Washington in an hour). If the people put the regime in power, it requires the majority of them realize they fucked up or that the regime went too far. The majority of the people in the US are maga or maga complacent. All you have to do is look at congress. No republican of note has turned on this regime. They have access to all sorts of polling and data and not only allow it to happen, they kiss his ass publicly like pathetic children at every corner. That means the people still actively support this, or are okay with this, so what does "do something" mean other than point out the problems and hope enough people see it to vote against it in 2026? It's not gonna happen either way. We're done for as a country.
  17. So make it a bit smaller. And outline it.
  18. I don’t get the Elmer Fudd reference. And yeah comparing University Football logos with restaurant logos is dumb af. I want to buy clothes of my alma mater with the logo, I literally don’t care what the IHOP sign looks like if I’m going to eat there occasionally.
  19. Torture a trans person to death at the DNC? Maybe hang few Mexicans from the stage for good measure. That’s what the people want.
  20. Oh that's happening, lots of stories about kids cutting parents, siblings, grandparents, etc. out of their lives and not showing up for holidays anymore and letting them know why. They are okay with it and feel that they are the victim. I myself moved on from some old high school and college friends and removed myself from group texts and they know the reason. My own mother knows why I called far less frequently after a particular conversation and she didn't say a word about any of this last time I saw her and even said she stopped watching the news (my dad confirmed that she watches the Halmark channel now instead of the ragebait stations). Not sure how that would play out in the workplace since plenty of bosses are maga fucks and are paid well enough to blame all the struggling people for being lazy and poor. I don't see any way this changes. It's over imo.
  21. So, what exactly is their pitch to Memphis and Tulane? https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/46085768/new-look-pac-12-extends-partnership-cw-network
  22. Well now I feel bad for laughing because it's probably Make-A-Wish.
  23. I just got out of a meeting where aggy law school was brought up and I had no idea they were ranked as the 22nd best law school in the country by US News. They purchased Texas Wesleyan like 10 years ago and that school was barely relevant. I've long been skeptical of US News with lots of schools being caught manipulaing the data and I have zero doubt whatsoever that aggy manipulated the shit out of those rankings. You don't go from marginally relevant to top 25 in ten years through legitimate means. I wish Randy Duke was still active to see if he could dig into it and figure out how they pulled off that nonsense. I have a personal interest in establishing that their claim is horseshit.
  24. Seriously, I don’t get constantly blaming a party. The majority of American voters are racist, sexiest, loud mouth pieces of human garbage. How does the opposition party change that? “Hey, the undocumented people are good hardworking people contributing to the economy and supporting their families. Let’s reform the system so that they can do so legally.” It’s not about policy, it’s about hate. That’s the American majority.
  25. Considering that the majority of Americans support it or are indifferent (which at this point is support), what would that look like? What would you propose? If a million people marched on Washington demanding change and the military mowed them all down, well over 100M other Americans would laugh gleefully and thank their dear leader. The election was the turning point, the majority chose this, there is no going back.
