  1. Colorado's AD seems pretty open to the idea as well, but I think they are all waiting for the "final" offer from Kliavkoff. Understandable - you don't make a change like that without knowing exactly what the options are - but Kliavkoff is delaying like mofo.
  2. There's a very large faction of Colorado fans who are ready to bolt
  3. Kliavkoff got up the nerve to call ESPN today. So like super progress.
  4. Nationally, or in Texas? If you know the answer to both, I'd be curious to see that number/ see how divergent they are (or not).
  5. After the last presidential election I don't see this strong correlation between being Hispanic and voting democrat.
  6. If you need any specific recommendations on where to find wildlife, dm me.
  7. UO insider apparently claiming deal will be made in next two weeks (of course it's two weeks), closer to B1G than Big XII money, anc SMU is buying their way in by taking zero distribution for one year. Damn I need some popcorn. (In case it's not obvious, please be aware I'm posting this for entertainment purposes only. I'm not buying it, even though with two PAC degrees I'd obviously be fine with it).
  8. I never paid enough attention to Alex Jones to consider where he was pulling his bullshit from.
  9. *Also I didn't read the whole thread so apologies if I'm just repeating someone else.
  10. With the caveat that there is no support for "herbicides turn kids trans," I think it's important to understand what the science actually says so that we all have enough background information to have intelligent conversations with people who make these claims. The most recent research on Atrazine was carried out by a Berkeley prof I know (and who is impeccable in his science). Basically it showed that exposure caused sex change and infertility in frogs via disruption of the endocrine system. Any disruption to the endocrine system can impact physiological sexualization, as it is exposure to the sex hormones during development that largely controls that sexualization. Separately, other studies by different research groups have linked Atrazine exposure in the womb to developmental changes in humans. Our endocrine system is not drastically different than a frog's (to a large degree, most vertebrates are pretty damn similar). Because exposure to the sex hormones during development controls physiological sexualization (it's largely a boost of testosterone controlled by several genes on the Y chromone that signals the embryo to develop as male, for example), and because that physiological sexualization includes differential development of the brain, it is not outside the realm of realistic possibility that exposure to certain chemicals during development that are known to impact the endocrine system can impact the physical sexualization of humans, including brain development, which would potentially have a large impact on subjective gender experience. Again, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT HERBICIDES TURN PEOPLE TRANS. But knowing this background I think is important if you happen to meet a conspiracy theorist who's done a bit more reading on the subject.
  11. Hot damn son, you brand new to college football? "No one cares about protecting rivalries" is one of the dumbest takes on this board in a long time.
  12. I like it. A jersey in that shade of blue would kick ass as well.
  13. I just feel the need to comment that you have the best avatar on this site and I legitimately smile every damn time I see it. Carry on.
  14. You've misinterpreted. This is evidence the Huaorani are more evolved, not less.
  15. No wild orca (last I checked) seems way more crazy to me.
  16. Lots of moose on the roads out to the barn. Tetons got pretty packed with Bear 399 paparazzi the past few weeks.
  17. Just for the sake of argument: trying to get as far of a reach/ capture interest in as many new markets as possible.
  18. I think it was a different website where someone said "conference realignment drama is like the Kardashians for middle-aged men." Spot on.
  19. Craziness of all craziness, something Stevo and I can agree on. I'm currently in the middle of a month-long trip to Yellowstone, have spent more than a hundred days in the park in the past year, and spend several dozen in Glacier every year as well. Montana is the shit.
  20. Again, you said "coast to coast conference with continuous borders." I call bullshit on that statement. They won't take "filler" schools they "can afford" just for the sake of filling in a map. If they all make more money by leaving out UA or ASU or whoever, they will leave them out.
  21. That's the longest-worded walk back of a statement I've ever seen. And selectively reading to appease the Big XII? What?
