  1. Related, following article was just revised and is buried within a reply-thread: https://snyder.substack.com/p/how-does-the-russo-ukrainian-war?utm_campaign=auto_share
  2. I still remember this game vividly-- Briles diced them with 5-yard slants every snap all the way down the field.
  3. Never before have I thought an in-line video ad placement for a VPN service was more apropos. We're going to have to wait for two generations of 'lost' Russians to die off while the younger generation suffers.
  4. It's not even about the "attack" but all the economic and strategic pain our allies would bring about, with an economic game of chicken to brew and wait for China to break first-- because they well. Naval blockades and denial of access to food, energy, and rare earths imports would break them in a matter of weeks. Yes, that will all hurt us too, but I hope our lazy and naive politicians have realized enough that the CCP's butt-fumbles (cargo, manufacturing, Covid-19) are severe enough to diversify and onshore.
  5. Julia should spend more effort chastising the absolute shitheels over at Meta, not those having fun with alt-translated videos. Then again, if you get your "news" from Facebook, I'm not sure what to tell you...

  7. I'm still struggling with theories beyond false-flag ops or energy price manipulation. Gazprom is still making deliveries to the EU via the Yamal-Europe pipeline, yanno, the big one that runs through Ukraine in which Gazprom pays transit fees to Ukraine for. The 42.4mcm sold through the pipeline is considered normal demand under contract, with deliveries to Poland and Germany. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/eastward-gas-flows-via-yamal-europe-pipeline-rise-2022-09-27/
  8. Dagestan is already popping off as their populace sacrificed their sons over the first rounds of conscription, never to be heard from agian. Announcement of mobilization was the step too far.
  9. If Sark is that stubborn and fixed on his system, was his hire of coach Marion all for naught? I assumed the two would be working together to incorporate Rojo and Bijan in the Go-Go, and not some weakcat on 4th down.
  10. In this shithole conference? That's not a thing.
  11. "...not a fault if Russia still ignites one or two of nukes," like no big deal, everyday happenstance in Russian destructo-doctrine. 🥴
  12. Sooo... the bright autumn colors become car bombs in the DNR/LNR
  13. Not related, but dammit, Lithuania https://chazzchips.com/lt/putes-skonio-traskuciai?product_rewrite=putes-skonio-traskuciai
  14. I'm even more pissed that Jamison didn't return the favor to Bryce, if that's the way Bama's defense wanted to play all game. Yes, not classy or smart to levy a hit like that and draw flags in critical territory, but let's share desserts and the scoreboard could have remained the same.
  15. I just landed in SLC to see this game tonight. Might be one of the best opportunities to witness a good road game preview of the next B12.
  16. Apparently SEC officials don't call holds in Tuscaloosa, either, so... does it make a shit?
  17. He said as much (recruiting exposure) during his Monday press conference.
  18. All that Taco-Bell-Gigatron, Jetpack-dude-kitcsh and he couldn't even serve us up a home-and-home with ASU, whom he bolted for Bellmont, where we could have at least scored an OOC Tempe tour of Sun Devil lass-ass. Edit: After the 2007 Holiday Bowl (one of the more fun ones under Mack), how the fuck were we left with a home-home with Berkeley and not ASU?
  19. Their offense reminds me a lot of 2019-era OUsux, right down to their guard play. Bryce Young = Jalen Hurts lite, with the same amount of panic (when flushed from the pocket) and locked on his first read, but with a quicker release. Gibbs = Sermon; McClellan = Brooks; Holden = CeeDee; Burton = Hazelwood. I wouldn't be surprised with an eventual box score where Bryce has more yards than his backs, but that assumes the secondary is locked in and not giving cushion. His intent will be to distribute the ball to the flat and use the WRs to dink and dunk down the field.
  20. Alabama's 2-deep is what this entire country gets when USC/UCLA and the Florida schools have slipped for multiple years. Parity in college football is long overdue.
  21. What does Greg f'n McElroy know about film study or work? Least effective Alabama QB since John Parker Wilson. Oh, right, they were consecutive starters, back in the stone age days of Saban's offense.
  22. I was thinking the same thing. Worthwhile effort if he has lobbyist buddies offering $100 handshakes to draft a sportsbetting bill ahead of the next State Lege.
  23. ...but aggy is fake army, soooo
  24. Where we at with Westlake QBs? Still done with 'em?
  25. You can also get there by recycling the same powerplant and/or transaxle in the highest volumes of production, retaining it for a decade or more. The E180 (prior-gen) Corolla had adopted LED headlamps but base trims of the car still featured a 4-speed auto. The 1GR-FE says hi, and, though it's about to be replaced, it's a FOURTEEN year-old engine with port injection, still offered new with a warranty in the Tacoma and 4Runner. Architecturally, that long block is over TWENTY years old now, just that it got a second cam phaser in 2009. They're dedicated to putting relics on the road and shouldn't be awarded for such reliability claims. Actually, fuck them that their consumer lets them get away with it.
