  1. Newsom is clearly a sharp guy but the rich California limousine liberal douchebag image is going to be really easy to pin on him because of shit like this. Pete being this board's darling and the whole Ivy League McKinsey consultant bit makes me skeptical he'll connect with the base and swing voters. I wouldn't withold my primary vote over it but I do unfortunately think being gay would be a liability in a general election. If either wins the primary they're an underdog.
  2. For the record, I am all for rights not stopping at state lines so long as we're consistent on that. I'm sure all our recent migrants from texags agree, right?
  3. For one, between how other results on the schedule have broken and the SEC championship/CFP formats, it doesn't really matter. Just keep winning from here and everything's there for the taking. Beyond that, sometimes it just isn't your day on the field or on the headsets, and when that happens against a good team - and Georgia, while not the borderline unstoppable juggernaut they have been in recent years, is a good team - you can get rocked like that.
  4. Yeah fair enough. Consensus is Republicans will have a slim majority, but I suppose that's not Facebook official yet.
  5. Honestly man maybe just log out of Surly for a few days. I think it would be good for you. You have been on here just spamming nearly non-stop for days on end. I've tried to engage you on why we're all deranged betas way too deep in our feelings and get a feel for what we should really expect from the admin but that hasn't held your attention. Most of what you post is either stuff like this - basically the $9.95 fall practice reports for hardcore political partisans - or just releasing a crazy, downright weird amount of rage against political opponents in the abstract or even other posters. I'm not saying this because I'm offended or annoyed or whatever, and you can consider me owned if it makes you feel good. I'm saying it because your current mental state is pretty clearly not good for you or anyone else, and both you and the people around you in your life would almost certainly be better if you just cooled down a bit. Go watch some football, get a workout in, camp in the woods, try to get laid, whatever.
  6. The mob mentality of the far left on a board comprised largely of former Bush-McCain-Romney voters in the suburbs of Dallas, Houston, and Austin lol.
  7. Milroe watching that one:
  8. Well blocked but that was a hell of a run by Milroe.
  9. Yeah. Most of the bitching about Texas's schedule is dumb. Went up to Michigan, got OU, Georgia, Florida. Not Texas's fault 3/4 are trash. But the bye week placement is a gift.
  10. I would not even be mad if Vandy won in this scenario. The lulz would be too good.
  11. Congrats. I have to ask: what went through your mind after logging off Surly for years and doing all this real life stuff, then watching Trump win the election, that ultimately led to "I should log in to Surly Horns and go straight to the politics board"?
  12. This is perhaps the single least intelligent, most unintentionally hilarious sentence ever written on the internet.
  13. On one hand, Texas getting smoked by Georgia at home looks pretty bad at this point. On the other hand, I think the probability of a rando head scratcher, everything goes wrong loss is pretty low the rest of the way because it's looking more and more like that was the Georgia game.
  14. Ewers helped them quite a bit.
  15. LSU and Kentucky
  16. Well the penalty is definitely a kick in the nuts now.
  17. That's a tough defensive holding call. Seemed like the receiver engaged in a block/pick there. Hopefully not a backbreaker for Ole Miss on this drive.
  18. Yeah that loss, and the way it happened, is aging really poorly. Here's hoping Texas can take care of business and get a rematch, or that UGA simply drops another game and does not get to Atlanta.
  19. So I admit I didn't watch the game super closely, but to me it seemed Sark was clearly intentionally overemphasizing the pass. I figure wanted to get Ewers a lot of reps coming out of the bye and establish some confidence going into tough road environments the next few weeks. That is to say, I don't think Texas couldn't run the ball, I think they were mostly choosing not to in order to work on the passing game. At halftime Texas RBs had seven carries. And then they got it going in the second half when they leaned to it. I think Ewers was a solid B/B+. His ball placement throwing downfield was spotty and that's just who he is at this point but he was at least seeing some open receivers and willing to throw downfield. Bailed out by receivers on a couple occasions but to be fair, the dropped TD by Moore was a really nice throw. He got the ball out quickly in the short/RPO game. Today's Ewers would have given Texas a competitive game with Georgia and that's the first time that's been true since September.
  20. Seriously? This Florida team is awful and with their QB situation the idea of them even scoring 10 (excluding garbage time anyway), let alone staying within 10 would have been a hard sell to me.
  21. Most people didn't think much of it either way or have a good understanding of the process. No one except the most hardcore partisans actually follows the Trump legal saga closely. You've already been corrected on this on the actual inflation thread. Stop.
  22. Road games are hard, yes the rivalry is a factor (although both of those are somewhat mitigated at 11am), Arkansas isn't on their QB3 (whatever the spread analytics did to quantify this I promise you it wasn't enough), and Texas isn'tcoing off a bye while Arkansas is. If Texas is up 42-0 on Arkansas they've made actual progress.
  23. Probably the worst the Texas run defense has looked all year. Florida is completely neutered throwing the ball so it doesn't matter, but I hope there is some hard coaching in the film room tomorrow despite the big win. Pleased to see some progress in opening up the offense though.
  24. Florida is fucking terrible. I'm glad to see Texas more or less doing what they should, but this is one of those nearly all downside games. Texas should dismantle them so it doesn't move the needle for me a ton, and if they hadn't, hoooo boy. Come out and handle Arkansas - a (slightly) better team on the road - and I'll def be more excited.
  25. I really don't know why you try to shake the Trump thing so hard when you've pretty consistently toed the line but whatever you say man. Coping some questions from the other thread: Broad extension of the TCJA? Permanent or extending out to 2029 or something? This is kind of vague. Are you saying we should expect a pretty standard GOP deregulation agenda of just generally shifting the sliding scale toward business interest? Or do you expect a more significant gutting of the federal government along the lines of major headcount reduction, agency elimination, partisan purge, etc? Illegal border crossings are already relatively low - below 2019 figures, actually. Are you saying you expect exec action to reduce them further? If so, how? Is family separation back on the table? Do they pass the bill from earlier this year? What about deportations? RE: wall - Define this. Are we talking an actual wall from San Diego to Brownsville? Portions that have been authorized or started to date? Obviously a big law - high level, what should we stays/goes from the IRA? Fair to say you don't think tariffs will be broad enough and/or big enough to have an inflationary impact at a macro level? Well, the Trump campaign has mentioned wanting to repeal (admittedly I believe this to simply be a tactic to rile up the base with no intention of real action). So the burden is on them and the GOP to tell us what they're talking about. They haven't. That's why I'm asking what to expect. There's plenty to go after - preexisting conditions, out of pocket max, eliminated annual lifetime maxes, covered essential services, employer mandate, premium subsidies, cost sharing, expanded Medicaid, etc etc. I think it would be a pretty big surprise if Democrats won the House at this point. The House probably ends up within a couple seats in either direction of where it is now; which is to say slim, unruly GOP majority. I'd define an abortion ban as any law imposing a more restrictive limit than existed under Roe v Wade. I don't think such a thing would get through Congress but the Trump campaign and GOP have talked out of both sides of their mouth on the issue, similar to the ACA, so I'm asking what to expect. Do they go after abortion rights? Do they go after any other civil liberties - contraception/birth control, same sex marriage, etc? What would it take for you to consider a hypothetical ceasefire/peace agreement in Ukraine to be a sweetheart deal for Putin? What's a reasonable expectation of a peace agreement? Do you think we should expect US involvement in Ukrainian reconstruction efforts? What about the Israel-Gaza conflict? Will there be any notable difference between Trump and Biden with regard to that? What if Israel makes a larger offensive push into Lebanon?
