  1. No, no ,no. You're supposed to give them flowers and a kiss on the cheek. So when you're being persecuted later by the trump gestapo they can look and say "hey honey, you remember that weirdo who gave me flowers and a kiss on the cheek? That fag was a traitor! Look, he's being deported by the king".
  2. We are in a state of zero security. These morons are already hacked by the Chinese, with the info being sold to the highest bidders, and a world full of enemies growing larger by the week. How much time until a major terrorist attack? It has to be a matter of when and not If with the state of things now.
  3. I have to know... Did your kid just join despite all of your strenuous objections? Is he a maga? I can't imagine why anyone with half an unwashed brain would volunteer to join the military with the prospect of Donald Trump returning as president looming over the country. I'd commit suicide before joining this shit show.
  4. That's just stupid. He's the elite talent. He's the one destroying 3 seed ISU right now with a low level program while we embarrassed ourselves losing in the first 4 play in. He's the one that will be getting another elite job very soon, probably at UNC or Kansas, while we try to throw enough money to get Sean Miller over the hump. There's a reason elite talent gets major leeway. Why Michael Jordan could punch the shit out of teammates in practice. Why Shaq could be supremely lazy and almost never practice hard. Why Michael Irvin could almost kill a teammate with scissors to the neck in training camp. Why Urban Meyer could cheat and fuck around as much as he wanted. Elite talent cannot be replaced easily if at all. Once you have an elite talent, you do everything to make sure it works as long as they're producing elite results.
  5. I don't think you understand judging based on adequate sample size and not a single data point. Every program is going to be up and down at times. But this century, the last 25 years, the University of Florida has owned us in men's money sports. If they can achieve that level of success in all 3 there's no excuse for a brand just as big, if not bigger, with more money to do it. Other than incompetence.
  6. Shit, hiring Derka to coach would be an upgrade over the shit we ran out there for 2 years. Not a high bar to clear at all.
  7. Ole Miss has never made an elite 8 and hasn't been to the sweet 16 since 2001. Watching this just reminds me why this guy wins in March and had Texas Tech a few minutes away from a national title. They play smart situational basketball. Right now if you notice they will not give up the 3. They aren't sagging to help off the drive as quickly and they aren't diving under screens. On offense they're maintaining their motion offense and aren't trying to sit on the lead like fools. This dude is an elite coach. And we fucked it all up.
  8. It's an impossible thing to judge because we don't know who the realistic candidates were. It's possible Sean Miller as a reclamation project coming off scandal is the best option we had given whatever the self imposed budget restrictions on the search happened to be. My point is we already had a PR reclamation project coming off an arrest under contract 2 years ago, so the AD going that route is an admission they fucked up by not keeping Beard. It's incongruent to hire a guy fired in scandal 2 years after you fired a guy in a minor scandal. I think if you got CDC liquored up a bit and alone in conversation he'd admit the truth of either 1) he wanted to do a suspension then retain Beard but was forced to fire him from above, or 2) he fucked up and made a bad decision at the time. That's a terrible mindset. The University of Florida has multiple NCs in football, basketball, and baseball since 2000. There's absolutely no reason we shouldn't be up there in that stratosphere as a men's athletics powerhouse in the 2 big money sports and baseball. The reason we aren't is because for much of the time the basketball program has been mismanaged and treated as an afterthought. There's no excuse for it if Florida can make it happen.
  9. Wise words sound like foolishness to the ignorant. What did he get at Texas that he never had before? An elite brand that had won 3 NCs before and had gone all in with him to win. 100 percent. Most of those years he was coaching at schools that don't win titles in football and don't go all in on it. He doesn't win in 2005 without the backing of an all in AD, alumni/donor base, and the brand/recruiting territory that comes with the University of Texas football. That's why I said the AD has to go all in with top 5 NIL, maybe even top 3, to give Miller a chance. Mack was never the best college football coach in the country in any year he coached. But with the right situation and the right backing he got a title.
  10. It's 100 percent pertinent and relevant at the moment. The AD just hired a disgraced former cheater who was fired from Arizona and had to go back to a lower level program to rehab himself. 2 years after firing a much better coach who then went down to a lower program to rehab himself. It's like divorcing your wife for cheating once, then 2 years later marrying a much uglier and nastier woman who got divorced because she cheated. It's stupidity, have some consistency. If they wanted the basketball program to stand on ethical principle then hire a squeaky clean coach with no cheating scandals in the past. If they don't care about reputation, then why did they fire the better coach? Also, Beard is now up 11 as a 6 seed coaching a program that has never been to the elite 8, and hasn't been to a sweet 16 in 24 years. I hope he wins the national title there just to piss in all of you moron's Cheerios.
  11. Shaka got 5 stars at Texas. It isn't about stars, it's about getting the right mix and building the right team. In all those years at Arizona and Xavier, Miller got to 3 elite 8s and 7 sweet 16s. That's his ceiling, like I said in a post a few days ago in the Fire Rodney thread. He's going to need maximum all in financial push from the University and it's people to break that ceiling. If they don't go all in Miller is good enough to have us in a lot of 2nd round/Sweet 16s as a ceiling. Also, he cheated. Doesn't matter if paying players is legal now, it absolutely was not legal then. He compromised his ethics and was a black stain on the reputation of the University. That's why he was back at Xavier and not another top program after Arizona fired him. He's a redemption project. I just wish we had kept our own redemption project who had us on the rise and built an elite 8 team. Who, while living in Mississippi, has not had another incident in over 2 years. If you dumb monkeys who are celebrating this would realize the hypocrisy and stupidity of your stance on Beard, and the huge mistake it was to fire him, then we could all get along.
  12. This is a big start. Miller isn't Rodney Terry level mediocre. He's a solid coach, he just isn't elite. And he was fired for a cheating scandal, so it's weird to hire a coach who's a cheater after standing on your principles and running off a much better coach who had a one time domestic violence incident. At least have some consistency, but they could have done worse and hired another Terry type for dirt cheap. At least this is a coach capable of making a final 4 type run if everything is pushed all in. Since Miller isn't elite, and isn't a recruit magnet, he'll need top 5 NIL money to compete. Top 15 is a start, but it has to get pushed higher to have a shot at a title with him.
  13. In what universe is Rex Kramer "socially liberal"? It isn't this one.
  14. They don't charge interest, but they do have an origination fee. So like a $3 fee to split it. I imagine there has to be a minimum dollar limit of $50 or $75 to use it. Kind of crazy
  15. Don't know if it's all the insanity and instability in the country right now around us, but I just haven't enjoyed the first round at all. Barely was able to keep my attention outside of the McNeese vs Clemson game and the St Mary's vs Vanderbilt game.
  16. And their drivers are getting paid less per order than they were a few years ago
  17. That's like having the expectation that the tap water is safe for your family to drink, or that real sugar be used in food products and not corn poison. Great ideas, should be the case, but just doesn't happen in this country.
  18. Hadn't clicked on this thread in 2 years, and this was the first unread post from 2 years ago. Yep, bingo. Right on the spot there buddy
  19. Communist is similar to Christian as in they are labels plastered over things that aren't in any way actually Communist or Christian. Communism and Christianity do not exist today. Bastardized versions of fascism have replaced communism and Christianity and wear the label like a little red hat.
  20. If that thing blows up larger than expected we need to start harping the warning that this is God and Jesus getting pissed for fucking with migrants and Canada. This is their warning shot before going full biblical on America's ass.
  21. Whoever was responsible for Brexit and Boris Johnson. Gotta be them fucking something up
