This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.
I saw Eric Morris play basketball at the state tournament for Shallowater years ago. His dad was his coach if I remember right.

It’s Time for Organized Resistance
It’s never too late in life to pursue what you like. I would gander that my situation in life is decidedly different than yours, but think about pursuing what you thoroughly enjoy and love to do. You get one shot at life so do as much as you can while you can before you can’t. I feel like I stumble head-first into most things I enjoy, but the adventure of it keeps me going forward.

So let’s say Gameday adds him. How long before McAfee shows up wearing a shirt with “I’m a man, I’m 40!” on the set?

I veer far from fiction, but the account in The Plague kept my attention. I think it helps having an English professor that goes in-depth on each book.You can tell who the English majors are in this course though. I learn from them as well which is cool aspect of a crossover class like this.

Both wars have cool literature, but my own personal preference veers towards non-fiction when I read. I do not enjoy fictional stories even if they are based on actual events. That said I appreciate that people will write fictional stories based on each war for people who enjoy it. I am certain there are plenty of authors that produced exceptional work based on the 2nd World War. Saying one is far beyond the other literature-wise is just an opinion because none of us here, or anywhere else in the world for that matter, has read more than a tiny fraction of the books written worldwide about either conflict.

I’m good with them continuing to find out into perpetuity. Every single person in that state that voted for TFG should feel a financial burden that completely breaks them.

OAN might be more his speed. Get an FCS Game of the week on that channel and let him do his thing.

I am going to use it to do some work as an historian in a South Pacific country.

I think they'll hold it together and Bolsonaro will die in prison. Democracy is messy, but there are millions and millions of people there that want democracy and are willing to go to bat for it in a way we are not here.

Water is wet and all that fun stuff. I would trade all 78 million of them for just a few of the Brazilians out in the streets across their country reminding the politicians that Bolsonaro messed around and found out and that there will not be a repeat of the amnesty mistake again. They are what a patriot looks like.

He’s not losing any money or having to experience much in the way of misery, but Nick Bosa suffering a season-ending ACL tear made me smile. I hope he rehabs and the first play that comes back next year results in tearing his other ACL. Absolute maga trash, he is.

RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
I would be cool with all of us that have autism getting to line up and hit this moron in the face with a bear skull. These are the absolute dumbest people our nation has ever seen.

Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
Same here. Don't care. He's gone and in the dustbin of history.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated [Shooter in custody]
I always kinda tap-danced around him because he’s exceptionally quick with the personal vitriol. Then he usually chides people he thinks he’s superior to. The most intelligent person in the room never has to attempt to remind you of their brilliance. People who do that are never among the smartest folks in society. Between that repetitive act and intentionally staking out positions on obscure things, as well as positions diametrically opposed by most of the people posting here is, well, just not cool. Quoting and responding to those posts just encourages that behavior.

It’s Time for Organized Resistance
As many of you here know I am in the midst of getting a masters in World War II History from ASU. This has been a fantastic journey with the classes I have had. Right now I am doing a World War II in Literature class with Professor Horan. Her correspondence back and forth has been really helpful in better understanding what I have read. I would highly suggest reading The Plague by Albert Camus. Such an amazing work and glad I have now read it. It’s an allegory to France having been occupied by the Nazis. I think that book would be a really good read for many of us considering what we are witnessing. I’d also suggest reading the works of Gabriela Mistral. Her fight against fascism in Spain, South America and Europe before and during World War II is a good guide for what we should do as well. Find a bit of spare time and read what I mentioned if you can. There is hope in their words.

Kick was what you want on an onside. Great game to watch. Will come back here again. Matsuzawa is going to get a shot to kick on Sundays with his leg and accuracy.

One last chance for the Bows. At the Bulldog 36.

I will say this for Alejado.. There is some talent there. His line is just not good, at all. I believe he’s starting as a true freshman as well. Chang is a pretty good coach to learn from as well. He just needs some good line play. Correction. He’s a redshirt I believe. Enrolled early so I think he’s 18 years old right now. Pretty good poise for having to run for his life all night.
