So, like, it's just a-ok to call people faggots now?
Well and a few pretty prominent people....

Texas -- a failed state
Not sure I'd go that far. The demographics of a basically football board (or sports, anyway) skew things pretty decidedly, if not dramatically.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Clearly, she failed the attitude test. But she also kept her distance and didn't physically interfere with the asshole anymore than he was interfering with her and her partner's daily lives. It's strange how that video he took makes it seem like he got hit or almost got hit while what was actually happening is he sidestepped her car and took three potshots.

Rob Reiner found stabbed
This is the goal, yes. To give someone the dignity to face the consequences of their own actions. @Pokoloco I know this is brutal, but it is the right thing to do. For better or worse, that "rock bottom" doesn't come on our schedule, or any schedule at all, and may not even come. Here's hoping that's not the case.

It's the dismal tide. We had actually made some progress at at least forcing bigotry underground. There's an (un)healthy current of unvarnished bigotry overtaking the country these days.

You're not completely wrong. But this is the same sort of argument advanced against the CFPB. One thing that I think most of this fails to properly account for is just exactly how uncollectable most bad consumer debt is, even without bankruptcy. It varies quite a bit from state to state as far as collection mechanisms, but in a whole lot of states, like Texas, it's practically uncollectable within six months or a year of default.

2026 Peach Bowl - Oregon vs. Indiana (CFP Semifinal #2)
Well, we've always said, or have said about us, that being recruited by Texas is worth an extra star all by itself. There's a lot of truth to that. It's going to be harder for Cignetti to find those "lunch pail" guys and keep them away from other programs and keep them on the roster. IU is big-time now. Anyone they recruit is going to become big-time in pretty short order.

Cignetti is currently "getting by" with a goodly number of JMU transfers and native IU recruits. He's certainly done well with some targeted acquisitions like Coogan. What's going to be interesting is when he continues to target certain 3 and 4 stars that are instantly going to become high 4s and 5s when recruited by IU. And then their interest list broadens. And they start to think highly of themselves, and so do their agents. It's gonna be a lot harder to keep those guys around than a bunch of dudes that signed with IU and JMU from 2021-2023. Development efforts are going to go to waste, culture will deteriorate, etc. I think Cignetti may understand this and that's why he took the IU job rather than some higher-profile job and has stayed low-profile most of his career.
