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.

Non-partisan "Fuck the Status Quo" Thread of Dominance
gmr548 replied to Hank Kingsley's topic in Cloak Room
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. -
Milroe watching that one:

Well blocked but that was a hell of a run by Milroe.
-
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.
-
I would not even be mad if Vandy won in this scenario. The lulz would be too good.
-
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"?
-
This is perhaps the single least intelligent, most unintentionally hilarious sentence ever written on the internet.
-
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.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
gmr548 replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Ewers helped them quite a bit. -
Well the penalty is definitely a kick in the nuts now.
-
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.
-
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.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
gmr548 replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
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. -
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.
-
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.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
gmr548 replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
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. -
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.

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. -
Non-partisan "Fuck the Status Quo" Thread of Dominance
gmr548 replied to Hank Kingsley's topic in Cloak Room
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? -
Yeah Moore didn't catch that. Tough to see him drop two big plays.
-
Sark is calling a hilariously disrespectful game. Like BYU last year or Mississippi State this year, he is clearly treating this as a scrimmage; trying to get Ewers/the passing game as many reps as possible. I don't really blame him because Florida being inept on offense was very predictable.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
gmr548 replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
I guess it depends on how we define support. We've also moved out of Texas. I was never a major donor but did have season tickets. I'll probably renew them next year, mostly because they are a money maker these days and we'll probably visit Texas for Thanksgiving and go to the aggy game next year. But it's pretty easy to watch casually from afar. Today's game started at 9:00am PST. It's about to be halftime at 10:30. This will be over by 12-1 and I can get on with my whole day. In that sense it's probably even a healthier level of support than planning social calendars around UT football like we would in Texas. -
1.) This is kind of vague. Fair to say you'd expect restoration of the Schedule F piece and a purging of the federal workforce? Or is this more just a general deregulation bit? What degree of size/scope reduction are we talking? Do we see the really nutty shit like RFK in charge of HHS or Elon Musk with some new department? What proportion of agencies should we expect moved out of DC? Who are the elites and what is breaking their necks? 2.) 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? I'd love to see a guest worker program + path to citizenship. I'm surprised you think we should expect this. I'll give you your due if it's correct but I think you and I will be disappointed here. Deporting violent criminals - so is it fair to say you think the mass deportation rhetoric is bluster? Should we expect an increase in removals? If so, how much? Prior Trump admin levels? Obama levels? Beyond that? You think we should expect it to be focused on violent offenders? 3.) It's well documented that there's a huge, ongoing boom in manufacturing construction. Are you just planning to spike to football when those jobs materialize or should we expect the Trump admin to do something here? If so, what? 4.) On its face this is something anyone would expect from their party with a trifecta so I get it. Stripping out value judgments on policy entirely, the House has been a dysfunctional mess the past two years and this election looks to be a stalemate in that chamber. Expecting clean and effective governance out of the slim majority seems like too much to ask given their track record but I'll keep this in mind. From the executive, "keeping promises" can mean a lot because Trump promises everything to everyone. He has promised to broadly lower prices, for example. Should we expect deflation? What promises should we be judging on here - that's really the root of my entire line of questioning, right? 5.) Again, pretty vague. Trump's FBI director is still in place. Seems like a solution in search of a problem so I don't really know how to evaluate it. We just talking filling federal law enforcement with more GOP-friendly personnel? 7.) Define mission creep and what ending it would look like? 9.) Department of Ed was created by Congress so Trump can't do this himself. Will need to get Congress to go along. I don't know that I expect them to do so. Interesting that you say we should expect that. If they do, what becomes of federal education funding? Just goes away? Administered through another agency? What about programs like Pell grants or PSLF that were created by Congress? Those just go away entirely or are administered elsewhere? 13.) Define this. Are we talking an actual wall from San Diego to Brownsville? Portions that have been authorized or started to date? 14.) Define what you mean by strengthen? The campaign oscillated between gutting and not touching them depending on the day. Similar to the guest worker bit, GOP's not going to raise the SS cap but okay I'll keep an eye out. 16.) Broad extension of the TCJA? Permanent or extending out to 2029 or something? Any additional tax cuts? What is your expectation with regard to tariffs? Will they add enough to be inflationary or is that a boogeyman? 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?
