    That’s cute: Baylor and Ole Miss scored 14 total points in the Sugar Bowl after 2.25 quarters of play. I remember when the Rose Bowl teams scored that many points in less than 30 seconds of play.

    That was shitty football too but at least it was entertaining.

    I sense an epic Klan dance if Missip should win tonight. 

  2. The backup QB what played in the CCG is out for this game. some might remember that he took a shot on the shoulder in that game and apparently injured it pretty good. He's been in a sling since then. It's Beauxhannon or a true freshman for the Bears tonight.

    Russia reconquering multiple Eastern European nations would be bad for everybody, worse than Ukraine.

    While the NATO expansion ramped up Russian paranoia, it also kept Russia in check for the past 20 years.

    I disagree. Reconquering those smaller nations would have tied them up, drained their resources and kept them busy for years. The member nations that we had after '99 would have been a line in the sand that they wouldn't dare attempt to cross. The collapse of the Soviet Union was a lost opportunity to reassess our position. We'd achieved our goal but it seems like we were the dog that caught the car he'd been chasing.

    Define "years ago", because Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia were in March of 2004.

    We added Croatia and Albania in 2009, Montenegro in 2017, and North Macedonia in March of 2020.  Those last four are of no interest to Russia.

    And if we had not added Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, then would they be in the mix alongside Ukraine right now?

    '99. I'd be okay if any of the others were in the mix right now.

    Imagine being a fan of either team, one group has to leave the arena realizing they still live in Iowa and the other group turns off their box tv with 8 channels and realize they’re still in Waco. Depressing.

    Sir, I'll have you know that Waco got internet access a few years back. YouTube TV ftmfw.

  6. I would have preferred that NATO stop its expansion years ago but I'm old and tired. As it once stood there would have been no question of the response by NATO and no doubt of that response in Russia if a member nation were attacked. Now we find ourselves here. Should have been thought of long ago.
