    Since the text messages were sent to random registered voters

    As most of us here know, this right here is the problem with polling. There are so many problems with this, both in what it says and what it leaves unsaid.

    1. It was not sent to random registered voters, that's a lie. It was sent to registered voters whose cell phone numbers were on the polling company's list. I didn't provide my cell phone number when I registered to vote, pretty sure that's not a requirement anywhere in the country. So the bolded above is a lie, or at least highly inaccurate.
    2. The text messages may have been sent to random entries on their list of cell phone numbers associated with registered voters, but they sure as hell weren't answered by random people on the list. They were answered by old people with nothing better to do, younger people trolling them, and maybe just maybe 10% were people who were genuinely interested in accurately responding.

    He played hard on the field and is motivated to be drafted right?

     

    Absolutely not to the former.

    He won whatever fuck award those idiots gave him last year right before flipping them the bird and entering the portal last year, and he was one of the better DTs in the SEC. Maybe he wasn’t a culture fit, no way for me to know, but he was talented and the narrative that we didn’t want him bc it was only about money seems inconsistent since we’re pursuing this guy who wasn’t as good and is only about money.

     

    There is no narrative that we didn't want him because it's just about the money with him, this is another fantasy you created. His issue is low effort on the field (and no effort to stay on the field) and performance/production  that comes nowhere near his potential. This has been a common refrain since he first stepped foot on their campus and hasn't changed. 

    I didn't remember what a bad poster you are when you weren't around for a while. You're one of those people who seems better in memory than present reality so you should probably just go back to being a former poster.

    4 out 5 brining the fire

    Don't know what everyone is so worried about. Just keep playing .800 ball through the end of the season and bingo, bango, bongo the Astros finish 116-46. And nobody has ever finished with that many wins and blown it in the playoffs. Certainly hasn't happened twice.

    Being stupid isn’t why those posts were bad and you know it. It’s just easy to pick on. 

    Not true at all. Progress is usually good historically speaking, but there have been a lot of bad societal shifts throughout time. The absolute worst recent one is that stupid people are now comfortable not only being stupid, but being loud about it. 

    Society benefits when imbecilic morons like @Longhornlove are ashamed of their stupidity and therefore stay quiet and keep it to themselves. So yes, the abject stupidity is absolutely the main reason his posts are bad. Starting a post with that list of proven lies, misinformation, and false conspiracy theories is terrible for society and the only defense is to call it out so that anyone who reads the thread understands that only complete idiots believe them.

    I'm thinking that the guy who says "I'm totally a liberal but I don't see what the hubbub is with people being illegally arrested for exercising their 1st amendment rights is!" may not actually be a liberal.  

    I understand what you're saying but to me this is what actual small government conservatism should be completely against. 

    Obviously in the current world conservatism has completely lost all meaning and I'm in a very lonely group holding on to what it should mean. Brain rot has created a world where "conservative" = big government authoritarianism lover.

    who are you quoting?  Also the correlation in the bold doesn't make sense. 

    He's responding to chainsaw. And while that should certainly be done because chainsaw says some crazy stuff, he's also dealing with internal conflict right now because right before his eyes he is seeing that the work done by him and others to convince the world that any anti-Israel sentiment after Hamas's disgusting attack is inherently anti-semitic has enabled and encouraged fascist government violence. Exactly like many here told him it would and he refused to believe.

    We just simply can't recruit corners who don't have top end speed anymore. We could get away with that somewhat in the B12, but in the SEC everyone has guys that can fly. It would have been a long and painful season for Brooks if I had to guess followed by discussion on moving him to safety. I also question why he is blowing coverages in year 3 as a multiyear starter. I was a little dubious about him going into next season prior to the spring game. We just need more athleticism in that spot.  

    Top 30 WR 40 times by conference

    Big 12 - 3, SEC - 6, ACC - 6, Pac-12 - 8, G5 - 2, non-FBS - 2, Big 10 - 3

    2 of the Big 12 were Texas of course but then again we won't get burned by Texas receivers other than spring games

    New alignments count

    SEC - 8, ACC - 6, Big 10 - 8, Big 12 - 3, G5 - 3, non-FBS - 2

    Be glad we're not in the Big 10, apparently. And the SEC fluffery is so tired already. No, not everybody in the SEC has guys who can fly unless sub-4.7 is your definition of flying.

  8. In his last 12 games he has a hit in 1 of them. In the other 11 games he's 0-for-35.

    Any of us could genuinely do as well by standing up there and holding a bat with our eyes closed.

    Sorry I guess for directly responding to the specific charge and in the same terms that it was made. Oh, and below still suits. 

     

    You seem to have missed a question, accidentally I'm sure.

    nice of you to show up in April. 

    Oh I've been here the whole time. Just found it humorous that you're running around to multiple threads rooting for other teams to beat City.

    What's gone? 

  11. 3-0 is a pitching machine count. If there were a machine out there throwing that pitcher's fastball and you set it up for the location you prefer what does that look like? Prepare for that pitch and if it comes then obliterate it. 

    You should absolutely never want an above average major league hitter to take the pitch Altuve hit for his second bomb last night.
