  1. C'mon man you know he got it for New START. They explicitly mentioned denuclearization in the award to Obama. Part of it also was as a snub to Bush.
  2. If your opinion is that compelling speech like that from little kids who largely don't understand the world and their place in it yet, then you're not going to get crucified.
  3. This is a good take. Both are great songs. Neither are national anthems.
  4. Terrible take Even worse take. God Save the Queen is terrible, especially since they have a great song in Rule Britannia. La Marseillaise is good but not top 2. 1) USA 2) Soviet Russia (lyrics are much more powerful in this one and we kicked their ass so it's okay to admit it was a powerful song now) [Huge gap] 3) Italy 4) Germany 5) France It's surprising how terrible most country's national anthems are. It's like only us and the Soviets put any effort into it. I would also like to mention that we took God Save the Queen and made it not shit when we decided to make My Country tis of Thee
  5. Anal Candi...that gives cunning linguists a lot to work with.
  6. Hey we got to do what we must because we can and we must reach page 1000 and they don't fill themselves
  7. Yeah that's probably fair, the undergrads definitely have more of a chip on their shoulder. With the West Coast university talk over, I really hope we get Tre Watson. If we can get a solid stable where we share carries between Young, Watson, and Carter I'll be pretty happy without RB room. Hopefully Ingram turns out great too.
  8. Eh I don't think Berkeley has a little brother syndrome towards anyone. They have more Nobel Prizes than anyone besides Harvard and Cambridge and basically the entire bottom two rows of the Periodic Table to themselves. Maybe they do with sports, but I feel like they have to first start giving a shit before they develop a little brother syndrome about it.

    This. I hadn't been up there for a while, was walking to get some gelato and was just like "Oh, there's a Rudy's here now".
  10. If those chuckle fucks blocking could have done their job or even just given him an eighth of a second longer that disaster relief punt probably makes it to the 40.
  11. Thanks for informing us the QB position is more important than punter. I do think Dickson should have been taken in the third round if you're looking at expected values though.
  12. Eh. This wasn't as good as last year's (Hasan Minhaj). Part of the good WHCD comedy addresses is having a cogent message woven into it. Despite his biting jokes, he had a positive, uplifting message about his upbringing, the role of the 1st amendment, and the future of journalism. It's why Colbert's is still the gold standard and Minhaj's was probably the closest tor reaching it.
  13. “When I went out to Austin a couple of weeks ago I was really surprised with how nice and modern of a city it was. “ I love stereotypes of Texas lmao. 10 bucks says kid expected College Station when he came to town.
  14. Please. Impeachment won't and should not begin until Mueller concludes his investigation and Pelosi and Schumer will ensure that. The Democratic policy should be reopen the House investigation if they win the House and to hold weekly sessions in the either the chamber(s) of Congress they win where they bring in members of Trump campaign, transition team, and administration. Once a month after about 6 months, they should begin bringing Trump family members in on a cycling basis once a month. Continue doing this until they find enough to impeach or Mueller wraps up his investigation. After all the shit the Republicans pulled this year in the HPSCI, I say we throw it back in their face so in 2020 we can sweep everything from statehouse offices to congressional seats and the Presidency and drive a stake through the heart of Republicans and their bullshit. Every state should do what California did and move redistricting to a non-partisan committee. The districts we have today are a fucking joke and the idea of representatives choosing their districts is equally laughable. We don't need to cheat to end them for good in the House. I think current gerrymandering requires us to go +3.5 or something like that nationally to get even representation and that in pretty much every election since 2000 there are more Democratic voters than Republican voters. Get non-gerrymandered districts and the House goes Democratic representing the plurality of voters that don't want to vote Republican after Bush (people keep forgetting because of how bad the Republicans are today that they were still really bad 18 years ago and imo their descent to madness began with Gingrich's ascendancy to Speaker) the Senate will be a tossup as it should be and things will be a lot better.
  15. Maybe he is playing one of those word ladder games where you can only change one letter at a time?
  16. I'm cautiously optimistic which is the state everyone should be. Keep in mind what happened from 1994-1998 after the Agreed Framework went into effect. When it came time for the US to hold up their end of the deal, the Republican Congress chose to renege on the deal and drag their feet despite President Clinton's requests and as expected the North Koreans not only resumed their nuclear program but did it at a much faster rate. There is time for Congress to fuck it up, time for the President to fuck it up, time for the North Koreans to fuck it up, time for the South Koreans to fuck it up, time for the Chinese to fuck it up, and time for some other power or unforeseen flashpoint to fuck it up. For something like this, where the ink hasn't even been put to paper, let alone dried, it is way too early to be anything but cautiously optimistic (ok, technically they did have the Panmunjom Accords, but that's basically just a promise they'll sign an accord in the future to end the war which is about as useful as a recruit's commitment a year before NSD; yeah maybe he stays, but maybe he decommits three times between now and NSD too). I am happy that at least thus far, President Trump's gambit seems to have worked.
  17. So what is the solution in your mind?

  19. Wrong SC. Fight on is Southern California
  20. Yeah when you have the best offensive line in college your QB has a lot more time to not have to act or think under pressure, you know the main area that makes college freshman look bad. While Cam and Casey would obviously benefit from time with Yancy, it's not like they don't have the physical tools to succeed right now. If we put them behind Alabama's OL they'd be great and all would be well for them. They'd fuck up occasional as freshman quarterbacks are wont to do, but hey they'll succeed a lot more than they fail. Put them behind our OL and they'll be mentally and physically broken by Thanksgiving.
  21. Well, looks like that visit for Shepherd on Friday got a little more scary.
