  1. Cliff's Notes (or at least what I can remember that I found interesting): - If they release info without names, we know they haven't released all the info they have, because ... - We know there are at least 20 offenders named in the info besides Epstein, and the info is credible - Both Bondi and Patel have made claims that the info they have doesn't name anyone, but we know that's not true. Bondi will have to either comply with the law and thus provide proof that she lied - or not provide the information and be in violation of the law. - Strangely, Congress is adjourning a day early, so we won't be in session on Friday when the docs are released. - The 'ongoing investigations' loophole won't work, because we specified in the law that it would have to be material that would affect that particular investigation specifically, and could only be used for a temporary redaction. - Massie and Khanna will be on Face the Nation Sunday.
  2. wrong thread
  3. More? I'd be shocked if he pays any at all.
  4. I'd be thrilled with just being good again.
  5. Well, there's some deja vu from my playing days - came down on an opponent's foot way too many times.
  6. I felt like, the way Wisconsin played against us, they would have beaten whoever was on the other side of the net. They were on fire in pretty much every phase of the game.
  7. LMFAO. So they missed the call on the touch (there was no touch) and the out ball (it was in).
  8. Yeah it's like Kimmel said the other night when he announced his contract extension: "After many sleepless nights and much soul-searching, I've decided I'd like to spend less time with my family ... "
  9. I can 100% vouch for this. I thought that dude was dead.
  10. Anyone have any idea why he moved back to analyst from DC?
  11. Yeah anyone blaming the setters in the loss to Wisconsin was apparently watching something different from what I saw.
  12. I like to think it comes from more actual coaching of serving than I ever saw at the club level, but based on what we saw this year at Texas, I'm not optimistic. I was consistently blown away (at the club level) by how little effort was put into coaching such a massive component of volleyball success. During warmups for practice, they'd serve for x number of minutes, and I rarely saw a coach give any meaningful form tips or impart any knowledge about how or why we serve this way or that way etc. It all boiled down to a few minutes of relatively unsupervised serving at each practice, and then at tourneys, coach telling everyone "We gotta serve tougher". OK, that's cool Corch. Now how about you actually teach them how to do that effectively and give them some more specific instruction and direction than "serve tougher, but keep it in". Watching our serving this year, it just seemed utterly static & predictable. Nothing seemed to change within a set, from set to set, or from match to match. Each server always seemed to serve their same serve over and over, too. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but imho our serving game is in desperate need of more variation. I thought it was quite telling in the Wisconsin match when Sheffield was interiewed mid-match and, oozing confidence, said something along the lines of "We got this. We've seen every serve they have, and we can pass 'em all". That's, uh, not good. And we just continued doing the same shit over and over with the same results. IIRC the only one who seemed to be able to put any consistent pressure on them was Nya, who kept putting it deep in the corner with some pace.
  13. I hope you're right and PK just left of his own accord, but when someone at that level leaves on their own, they usually make an announcement and the public doesn't find out from the university that they were just 'not retained'. Who knows ...
  14. That's cool and I hope you're right. It just doesn't inspire a lot of confidence when we fire a coach that doesn't need firing.
  15. OK, I'm pissed, so maybe that was an exaggeration, but he literally just let go the best coach on a staff with multiple guys that have underperformed and need to go.
  16. Banks is still here, right? I guess our special teams are amazing.
  17. Seriously. Let's address everything possible other than the single biggest, most obvious fucking problem on this team.
  18. Yeah what he does to us probably won't feel very good.
  19. Wow. So we're firing our best coaches now? Cool, cool, cool. I get that some of y'all liked Muschamp's tough guy talk bullshit, but got damn. Fuck you, Sark. At what point did the programmers of the simulation hit the "bizarro world" button?
  20. LOL, yeah. I saw that dude and wondered who he was. Well, well, well.
