  1. There was NO candidate that was going to beat Trump. Period.
  2. This is what we are experiencing as well. These young folks aren't just hateful towards trans folks, they run the gamut. My daughter long since declared our home a safe space for queer folks so we hear a lot of experiences. My daughter's high school, always tops in the area, dropped ratings over recent years because they cannot keep kids from marginalized groups from being bullied out of the district. So much so that a school that prided itself on exclusivity, for the first time, opened its enrollment to kids outside the district. Not to pick on Linux because I know his heart is in the right place, but he needs to follow the money so to speak. The Republicans are attacking education because they know that education creates empathy. They want to radicalize these young folks against marginalized groups because they know it helps them going forward. It has shit to do with what Trans folks are doing, because right wingers are doing it to everyone. This is a coordinated effort of leaders in the right wing to keep themselves in power. They saw the writing on the wall. Brown people are increasing in numbers, and young people, through education, were becoming more tolerant. Black people haven't increased their percentage since the 60's. Let's back burner them for the time being and go after Hispanics and Gays, who are growing(for LGBTQ I mean out in the open membership numbers). So they create a belief that Trans folks are pedos, Hispanics are rapists, murderers, gangbangers, and Black folks are unqualified for leadership because DEI. My daughter's school is a microcosm of what's going on in the country.
  3. Uncomfortable white folks is the scariest thing ever. That's when people start dying,
  4. You may be onto something there. I don't feel like this was the vibe when we were in California.
  5. I disagree. I have an ethnic daughter who goes to a predominately white school. These boys are out here still calling people racial and homophobic slurs. They might seem tolerant but that is not the case. My daughter, who is sitting next to me right now, says they understand how to behave in the presence of authority figures.
  6. It's human nature to not like change Linux. I honestly don't think it mattered whether it was sports or not, people are always going to find something to rail against in the area of equality. We hated Women, Irish, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Blacks, Hispanics, Indians, Middle Eastern, Gays, Trans, and now we are currently back to Hispanics again. We've put a fence up for every issue, every step of the way. So as I said nobody wants to change and being inclusive requires some sacrifice that a lot of people aren't willing to make.
  7. He knows they can't do that. He also knows that tweeting it out makes it sound like he is on the side of the people. It's all performative posturing.
  8. I'm not sure who taught you about King but he was most def a rabble rouser. The difference is there is was no internet so the problems were....over there. Now with social media marginalized groups are in your face as soon as you swipe your phone. If King's movement were happening today he would most def be in your face, annoying. Regardless, you guys are making it more than it is. Young white men are breaking for Trump because it's easier to be an asshole than to be respectful. Nothing more. They see the olds in their life disregarding women and marginalized groups and they want to join in. They've been told that they are the top of the food chain and along comes this guy who says you can act like everyone else is beneath you too. It's nothing OTHER people are doing, it's just one group says we care about everyone, and the other group says we care about you. It's trendy to be a dick right now, and young people are nothing if not trendy.
  9. Lol. This dude has completely jumped the Shark!
  10. Because people already WANT to hate. There is a pile of sticks already smoldering, all you have to do is pour a little gasoline on it. We've spent this country's history telling a segment of the constituents that these other people that don't look like you are lesser than you and that's why they need to live and go to school over there. They are less intelligent, and uncivilized. Your violence is okay. You had to exterminate all the Native Americans because they were savages. Black people needed to be kept in place or else they would rape all our women. Take the Mahendra Patel incident. If that happened in an era with no store video he would go to prison for years, even though dude is a well educated engineer and owns multiple properties in the community. All it took was for some white lady to accuse him of doing something and he is sitting in jail for 45 days, evidence to the contrary. This country is falling behind other industrialized nations precisely because of the above. We cannot allow socialized medicine because some undeserving brown person might take advantage of it. Don't believe me? Let's look at Mississippi. It is no coincidence that the brownest state in the union is also the worst. Cannot allow investment in infrastructure or make any efforts to bring any industry. Their efforts to keep the status quo have prevented any growth. Wallowing in shit since the 1870's.
  11. Make no mistake I was early on Sark being a solid coach. My point is the revisionist history. Same thing with Sam. He played his ass off vs LSU, but people forget those ugly games. 2019 OU, TCU, and Baylor come to mind. All the years Sark has been here we have had a history of taking our foot off the gas pedal once we got a lead. This was just as much a problem before Quinn as it was during his time here. FWIW it's always a huge debate.
  12. Just a few years ago these same people were yelling Seven Win Steve and talking about how he would never win here and didn't develop players at his previous stops as a head coach. Now all the sudden Tyrone Swoopes would've been 14-0 with this team, and that same Seven Win Steve is the greatest developer of talent in the country. Lol. Never quit Surly.
  13. Ever go to someone's house and see they have a welcome mat in front of the back door? Makes you wonder. [Freud}
  14. Phil Simms, Tom Brady, Brad Johnson, Matt Cassell, Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, Rich Gannon, Dave Krieg, Kurt Warner, and Peyton Manning to name a few.
  15. That's the thing Derka. No one is right about anything cuz the guy hasn't played one snap in the NFL yet. You are going all in based on his draft position.
  16. It's weird you think you are a reasonable poster.
  17. Here you go. Again, you are arguing with so many people you can't keep things straight. That response was to me btw
  18. You made a comment about Quin's completion percentage. I cornered you on it and you continued to duck the question. I am not the receipts guy. That is JimmyJazz. You argue with so many people you can't even keep your opponents straight. Again, only one of us has had timeouts(multiple) for lighting the forum on fire, and that person is not me. I am only an asshole on this board. I am quite agreeable on others. BTW I have advocated for you on multiple occasions just so you know.
  19. Just because I don't post places doesn't mean I don't read them.
  20. Only one of us argues everywhere they go on the board and that person is not me.
  21. I told you the same thing the expert did but the difference is you cannot allow yourself to be schooled by someone you feel you are superior than. Even now. Even though you don't even know what you don't know, you are still being dismissive of someone even though you are being outclassed in the conversation.
  22. Ohio State has been winning consistently for seemingly ever. What in the fuck are you even talking about? We haven't been this good since 2009. Ohio State has more than 60 players in the league. They've had one losing season since 1988. 19 fucking 88. Meanwhile we just came off a stretch where we were irrelevant for 14 years Big. Let's not try to make it like the two things are ever comparable.
  23. Dude- Most people are thankful for Quinn because we remember what we had for the last decade or so(besides Sam). No one thinks Quinn did anything by himself, but we just ran the SEC with two 190lb, 3rd down backs, Juan Davis playing significant minutes, and one good wide receiver(Bond was hurt all year).Our roster isn't the monster you think it is. If you don't think so look at our roster vs Ohio State's. We ran back the same level of success after losing Worthy, Mitchell, Sanders, Brooks, Jones, Baxter, Whitt, Sweat, Murphy, Ford, and Williams.....AND transitioning to the SEC. Stability at quarterback has something to do with that.
  24. I do not think you are a dumb ass at all. It is clear you approach the game with experience. I can see that in your posts. I just think that some people are over-reliant on statistics. Even some really good coaches get caught up in the analytics sometimes. I think when you think I am explaining things I am talking to you. I am not. There are 1000's of lurkers on this thread that I am talking to. Some of those people don't understand the game and those are the people I am talking to. Take @Derka for example. He was bashing Quinn on a vertical route because he had no idea how a fade route is supposed to be run or thrown until another poster corrected him. Those are the people that need direction and explaining. You would never do that because you understand the nuances of the game. I respect that about you. I also respect that about @BurntOrange&White, and many other posters that I don't always see eye to eye with. You guys generally make this place a fun place to be and I commend you for that. So don't ever think I don't respect your knowledge because I am talking to the audience. It's a hangover from some professional roles.
