Well out with it then. What is that really nasty thing that's not merely a rumor? Although it can happen, a guy like Sark that falls off the wagon usually creates a lot bigger and more obvious problems than those of his football team. I haven't seen anything objective that indicates that Sark is drinking. Pretty sure we'd know. Second, given his history, if he'd fallen off the wagon in the off-season, I would expect him to be terminated with cause, success notwithstanding. Mid-season might be a different story.

The flip side of going for it is an INT in the short game or turning over the ball on downs with 30 seconds left, to an offense that had been running through us pretty well to that point. Also, curiously, we had relatively few penalties yesterday from any of the usual suspects.

Nah, what he missed was people repeating the same bullshit over and over and over again. And a few memes.

Use justwatch.com. IMDB's where to watch also lets you know whether it's a ppv, or rental or what.

2025 Random Games thread
Been meaning to ask, but Pitt + Auburn seems to be a rather incongruous, if not bizarre combo. Unless you're an engineer.

He's been one of the saner ones, which is why I commented. Sure, it was disappointing. Arch took that deep shot, which I think was on him more than the play call and could have been DPI, it was close. We ran Tre twice for 9 yards. I suppose maybe we should have tried a short/intermediate route, but you don't want to turn it over there, or put it to one side or the other if you have to kick. Maybe go for it, but not a lot of time to score. Getting the ball back after the half, I was ok with taking the FG.

Seems a strange thing to abandon Sark over. Did you want more deep shots? Go for it?

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Well, yeah. They're training it on material mostly crawled from the internet, which includes a lot of dogshit. It has authority because it's the "computer" without human intervention. But it returns what it's "cued" with, so if you prompt it with conspiratorial dogshit, you're gonna get something consonant with conspiratorial dogshit.

We've had WR improve. Like Worthy. Wingo seems to be improving before our eyes. I'm not one of those that claims no development.

Seems like it goes to the fundamental neural-network nature of AI in pattern-matching. And the perhaps even more fundamental nature of numerical computing: GIGO.

RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
Gonna do a patent applied for surly thread jack. I'm so disappointed bout Dwight. Didn't know he had a rep as a dickhead. Now I see that Mary Chapin Carpenter song. In interviews, he always seemed like a level-headed, thoughtful type. Never seen anything political from him, now see some 25-year-old references to being a Libertarian. Twenty-five years ago was prime time for a lot of us disenchanted with American politics to claim libertarianism, and also to either come to our senses or fucking double down in the intervening time period. Fucking hell.

Well, it remains to be seen, but it seems we had a lot of eggs in the Baxter gon be back with a vengeance basket as a complement to Tre. That is a bigger back that could maybe make his own holes. And he hasn't been very effective this year.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I think the WR, too. RB still suffers at the hands of the OL.
-
This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
My sense of it as well. Need to shore up the OL. WR and RB dysfunction I think mostly a product of OL. But we could stand a bigger RB with Baxter seeming to flop. Maybe a WR. Probably a TE. Time in program plus youngsters might take care of that. Sarkco just needs to have an "opposite day" this off-season. Whatever he did in Spring 2025, do the opposite thing.

Best cast in any film all-time
Michael Clayton. Not the longest list of stars, or the biggest stars, but a very well-thought-out application of their talents. And none of them really typecast.

Real talk on the contract. It would seem really incumbent on the University/System to have some sort of clause that permits termination on resumption of substance abuse or something similar. If for no other reason than to waive ADA application/accommodations, if that can be waived. Although kind of embarrassing for both sides, a person actually in recovery would understand and welcome it.

La elección fue robbada. ROBBADA! Gracias por su atención en este asunto.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I think it's relatively simple. Sark's had a lot of success here, and with the high-ranked classes, two CFP appearances/final four, Arch in the wings, an able assist from some less than ideal coaches, and maybe some personal distraction, Sark thought he had it knocked. The machine was rolling. Obviously, he did not. And I think he was every bit as shocked as all of us who swallowed all the 995 bs. That says something not great about Sark, I guess, a bit of arrogance, some inexperience playing and winning at the highest levels in the current environment, etc. It's really all in how he recovers from this.

Texas vs. Arkansas - 2:30pm on ABC
It probably literally fit either definition, maybe not crown of helmet. The rules are intended to objectively define an element of intent to make "forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball." But intent doesn't strictly come into it. Still, I think some sort of discretion should exist to rule that the hit didn't exhibit that type of forcible contact and thus did not constitute targeting.

Targeting and Making Forcible Contact With the Crown of the Helmet ARTICLE 3. No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown of their helmet.

(A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI) Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to: • Launch. A player leaving their feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area. • A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground. • Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area. • Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet.
