  1. Who could have predicted A&M boosters would shove all the way in on NIL after we stole their coach. We'll see if they can keep the momentum after this off-season but maybe a wake up call to Texas Baseball Boosters.
  2. That will be the next fun mini drama to watch play out. I agree pretty much zero benefit to Trump debating her but she will try to goad him constantly into a debate and watching him dance around it will be fun.
  3. Still somewhat baffling to me. It was such an unforced error driven by pure arrogance that he had the election locked up. I think Trump is still a favorite but Vance didn't gain him any votes and will almost certainly lose him votes among women post Kamala shift. He could have chosen someone like Rubio that would actually talk issues and policy and potentially sway moderate votes that 'someone' in the room might be able to keep Trump in check (similar to Pence VP strategy) but instead he just chose another MAGA that isn't even any good at the MAGA performance art aspect.
  4. Agreed. I'm enjoying this season overall but they are spending too long on Daemon at Harrenhall I'm sure there is a payoff eventually but seems they could get wherever they are going cutting out 1/3 of the screen time.
  5. I do Vonlane once or twice per year for Texas football games and it's a great experience.
  6. Houston power seems like a shit show. I'm never one to give Oncor much credit but when damn near all of the metroplex had power go out after Memorial Day (on a storm that wasn't really forecasted) they got crews in from out of town pretty damn fast and seemed pretty competent solving the problem. My power was only out about 18 hours. All of our neighborhood (and all but a handful of people I know throughout) restored within 48 hours and pretty much any stragglers in the metroplex within 72/84. From what it looks like Houston was completely flat footed which isn't really acceptable given everyone knew a damn storm was hitting "somewhere" along the coast. What a mess. Sorry guys.
  7. That is clearly the best bet to everyone outside of apparently Biden and his inner circle + a handful on this board with their head in the sand.
  8. The Dems probably don't have a winning strategy at this point. But it certainly isn't running Biden. The fact that Biden is digging in and thinks he is still the best option to beat Trump is further proof he's going senile. Everyone clinging to that hope is flat out living in denial. You all can cuss the media all you want but I watched the debate and it was clear 15 minutes in that Biden was fucking toast this election. Kamala would almost certainly be a huge underdog coming in late but she will actually have a chance to make up the difference unlike Biden. His narrative is set no matter how many 'fiery' interviews he does.
  9. Fuck that. It isn't the media's fault he completely embarrassed himself in the debate pretty much proving the narrative (that already existed) that he is too old to run again 100% correct.
  10. WTF are you talking about dude. What data or history exists regarding an 80+ year old borderline senile politician running for President? The data doesn't exist because nobody has been dumb enough to try it until now.
  11. That argument in 2020 failed because we all watched the debates and saw Biden hold his own. Seriously, take a step back and go watch debate footage from 2020 and from last week. It's not even close to the same Biden.
  12. If these were team friendly contracts I might agree with trade bait, but pretty much universally thought to be horrible contracts from the commentary I've read. Particularly Ilybushkin or whatever his name is which I've seen multiple people indicate is in the running for the worst contract signed yesterday.
  13. I've read enough Helobious posts to know I would now immediately be prepping for the storm of the century if I lived anywhere along the coast
  14. I would vote for Obama or Romney in a heartbeat. Amazing we've gone from that level of candidates in 2012 to this shit sandwich. Idiocracy has arrived well ahead of schedule.
  15. You know what is infuriating? The fact that people can't comprehend someone with the level of mental decline displayed last week should not be President of the United States. Everyone with this take is letting their hatred for Trump mask the reality of what would be in office for the next 4 years.
  16. "Another Person" LOL. It's truly amazing to me you all can't grasp nobody is talking about the fucking people on this board. We are talking about public at large. JFC.
  17. Everyone is telling you the same thing but I'll say it again for all of you that somehow don't get it. MAGA and R's are going to turn out for Trump. You now have a lot of people that voted for Biden last time that flat out don't think either one of them have any business being President. I don't understand how anyone can say with a straight face that Biden is mentally fit to be President another 4 years. So I'll say it again. Relying on people to show up and vote for someone that has a very real chance of either dying or becoming completely incapacitated over the next 4 years is not a winning strategy. The result of that disastrous debate is hundreds of thousands staying home or voting third party.
  18. It's not even worth debating with you or a handful of others as you aren't going to change your mind. But I pretty strongly disagree with all of this and think anyone that thinks this way absolutely has their head in the sand.
  19. Yes. If you believe the recent reporting of Bernstein, people within the party have been trying to ring the alarm bell for the past 18 months and there has been significant cognitive decline in particular within the past 6 months. Given the debate performance that seems pretty valid. So yes, I think the D inner circle/power brokers that were actually aware of this should have made the move months ago. At the least, they never should have allowed him on a debate stage. If it comes out that it really was Biden's stubbornness/failure to accept reality (whether in regards to running or with respect to doing the debate), this election is on everyone that enabled him or were too afraid to tell an old man no (even if he is the President). To be clear, I was supportive of the debate because I thought it gave him the chance to prove everyone wrong. I had no idea he had declined as much as he obviously had. The people in the room with him absolutely had to know and know the risk. Absolute incompetence.
  20. I thought everyone is saying that big ass heat dome would keep it south
  21. This is just wrong. When Biden inevitably loses this election, this debate will forever be discussed as the turning point and every decision the inner circle of the party made in the 18 months leading up to it and after will be debated. The debate convinced the vast majority of Biden voters that Biden is flat out unfit to be President for another term. Full Stop. The result will be a bunch of those in the category of "reluctant" Biden Voters or pure Anti-Trump voters to sit it out or vote 3rd party. Because the reality is neither of these candidates have any business being President. The competent American public recognizes what a ridiculous choice it is and the reality is many will just throw their hands in the air and say fuck it, wake me up in 4 years. The margins were slim to begin with but relying on the non R voting public to actually make an effort to vote on the basis that an essentially incapacitated Biden is still better than Trump is not a winning strategy.
  22. It's a good thing Nill has built up a lot of good will because otherwise I would be motherfucking today. Great value on Duchene only to make several WTF moves. Like Tiffin wrote, I would probably be pissed if I were Duchene to take a big discount only to watch extra money go to players that have proven to be sub-par.
  23. Sorry to break it to you but according to some of the mensa candidates on this board this makes you a fascist.
