    Not really sold on the Groyper angle yet either, but I think the angle is that he might have some Boogaloo Bois accelerationist tendencies - i.e., he was happy to frame it as someone on the left to enflame the already intense divide between the left and the right.  Who the fuck knows, though. 

    He was a Groyper. He spent all his time playing video games. The engraving on the bullets was from the Helldivers 2 video game which is like a Starship Troopers satire of fascism as a first person shooter game against giant bugs. He dressed up as the Pepe frog for Halloween in 2018. Not sure if his Trump costume was pro or anti Trump though. Kid lost his soul to the Internet and online gaming.

    Oh Jesus Christ. 

    My seats are directly across the isle from one of the student sections.  It's a mix of different ethnicities among the frat boys, and I'll be interested to see how they react if a moment of silence is called for Kirk.

    I’d like to unfurl a gigantic banner or have an airplane flying over in honor of Rep. Melissa Hortman if this happens for Charlie at DKR.

    I'm just glad that I'm not the host of a liberal podcast on a college tour right now.

    A few months ago I told a young professor friend of mine that he should start a podcast and become the left’s version of Charlie Kirk (minus the racism, homophobia, etc.) to fire up the base of young men on the left. He looked me right in the eye and said, “fuck no, I don’t want to get murdered. I’m already on the TPUSA professor watchlist.”

    +300 odds they actually identified the shooter, found out he is clearly tied to the right/MAGA, and don't want to apprehend him at all. 

    I think it was more to distract from the Epstein files. Although I do find it odd how much Netanyahu is tweeting about Charlie since Charlie was allegedly starting to become critical of certain things Israel was doing in Gaza.

    First, to those fucking idiots bitching about empty seats, is your position that we shouldn't have built the entire south endzone project because we wouldn't be able to force season ticket holders to show up to make the stadium look full for shitty opponents in shitty weather? We should have just scrapped the entire thing, because in retrospect the optics look "terrible?" 

    People in the SEZ have whatever right to do with the tickets they bought. Sure, I think it looks shitty on TV when the seats are empty, but I’m a poor so nobody gives a fuck what I think. Don’t clutch your pearls when I say this, but I think the SEZ would still look shitty even if it was maxed out with asses in every seat. The SEZ represents the Disneyfication of college football in Austin. But it’s acceptable because it brought in mega money from donors to build all the state of the art shit that our players and staff need for success. 

    My preference would have been to close the bowl like the NEZ side, but I have to settle for what the SEZ is because rich people who have dumped millions into the school and NIL want a place to socialize inside with food and drinks on gameday. Business is business and money talks. The gigantic blaring screen in the SEZ constantly reminds us of that.

  6. The younger generation is so intolerant because they are tolerant of a lot of bullshit nonsense ideas. Their bullshit detection meters are low to non-existent because they spend the majority of their lives on the internet instead of sniffing out bullshit the old fashioned way in person. This lack of real world interaction creates the opportunity for all the bullshit nonsense to take root in their minds.  

    I recently had to explain to my nephews that they shouldn’t buy things from a guy who is constantly saying how “legit” his products were. They were surprised at the notion that someone using the word “legit” was not selling a decent product. Maybe they’re just stupid kids,  but hearing a guy say something is “legit” on the Internet doesn’t ping your common sense meter the same way a sleazy salesman does saying the word “legit” during an in-person interaction. That’s what kids are lacking these days.

    I couldn’t have a conversation with my daughter sitting next to me without yelling. The volume remains an abomination, an unyielding, unrelenting, constant assault on the senses. Also the rotating pictures of our players on the video board is just stupid. If a guy makes a play and you want to show his pic/bio, sure that makes sense. But I don’t get the rotating slide show. A complete waste of space  

    It sounds noticeably less loud on TV because in the past you could hear all the noisy shit coming through on the broadcast. But all of the empty grey seats still look terrible and I wish we would have just closed the bowl the way we did on the other side.

    People have abandoned using reason and critical thinking  when trying to diagnose something that feels off. 

    Play out the facts and scenarios, and try to avoid conspiratorial thoughts. For the love of God.

    Sark doesn’t have a bad poker face, he’s just pissed about having to respond to ridiculous questions that have allegations behind them. 

     

    I’m not saying Sark is hiding anything about Arch, I’m saying Sark has a terrible poker face because it’s very easy to tell when he’s rattled by something. Yeah it’s a stupid fucking question, but Sark gives off a pussy Tom Herman vibe when trying to dismiss it instead of coming off like Saban telling people to GTFO here with that nonsense. “We don’t film you in the bathroom, hell, we just got those piss color detectors removed from the urinals a few years ago.”

    Nah he said it, he was trying to be a hard ass about believing rumors but it just came across…weird.

    It's worse than weird, it's the kind of bizarre, overly defensive non sequitur that could indicate it's actually true.

    I’d like to play poker with Sark and make lots of money. Terrible poker face.

    Shit dude, it's call game reps. You can't ever replicate them in practice. It took Young 2 full seasons of them to become the icon he was in 2005.

    VY was pretty damn good in 2004. Everyone talks about 4th and 5 against USC for the title, but nobody remembers the 4th and 18 against Kansas in 2004. Without that play we lose the game and don’t go to the Rose Bowl against Michigan.
