  1. At least five people were killed as Russia launched air strikes in western Ukraine early Sunday, raining missiles and drones on the Lviv region near the Polish border — forcing the NATO country to scramble jets to lock down its skies. Lviv — only 43 miles from Poland — was pounded for hours overnight by missiles and Russian drones as air defenses fired furiously in all directions to fend off the attack, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said five people died and at least 10 others were injured in the attack. He estimated that Russia launched more than 50 missiles and 500 drones. “Today, the Russians once again targeted our infrastructure – everything that ensures normal life for our people,” Zelensky said. “We need more protection and faster implementation of all defense agreements, especially on air defense, to deprive this aerial terror of any meaning. “A unilateral ceasefire in the skies is possible – and it is precisely that which could open the way to real diplomacy. America and Europe must act to make Putin stop,” Zelensky said. A witness told The Post the latest strike is “definitely the worst hit in Lviv since the beginning of the war.”
  2. That would be it. Most people parrot the talking points of their party. Very few people are truly independent thinkers. And the people who are independent thinkers most often get trashed by both sides.
  3. Even though I agree with this premise that we are prioritizing size over talent, there is the other aspect that we need talent at every position. Brooks has size and talent and can play inside, but he is a freshman. If we had another upper classman of Cujoe's talent level, we could swing one of them inside and we would have had a solid left side of the line this year. Yes, we had an injury but that is typical every year. Bottom line is that we are not prioritizing the offensive line enough. We get 2 solid guys annually and then 1 to 2 fillers and that doesn't seem to be cutting it.
  4. How many minds do you think you have changed since posting on surly? I’m pretty confident that the number of opinions that I’ve changed is zero.
  5. A Russian drone strike on a railway station in the northeastern Ukrainian region of Sumy wounded at least 30 people, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday. Russia's army has repeatedly targeted Ukraine's railway infrastructure since invading in February 2022. Zelensky called the strike on Shostka station in Sumy "savage". "So far, we know of at least 30 victims" including passengers and railway staff, he said. He posted a video showing a mangled train carriage engulfed in flames with twisted metal and busted windows. Populist billionaire Andrej Babiš’s triumph in the Czech parliamentary elections is expected to reduce the EU member country’s support for Ukraine. Babiš has said he would review a Czech-led international drive to supply artillery shells to Ukraine, launched by the previous government, and “discuss it with President Zelenskyy” if necessary. “We are clearly pro-European and pro-Nato,” he added to dispel fears he might draw the Czech Republic closer to EU mavericks Hungary and Slovakia, refusing military aid to Ukraine and opposing sanctions on Russia.
  6. Damn, I worked there a few summers in high school. Worked with Peter Gardere's brother. Made pretty good tips, and I liked lifting stuff for the women. I also know a woman who adopted cats from there: Nice woman. Nice cats.
  7. You need to tamper young starters on NIL poor teams or teams with coaching changes.
  8. Well, with NIL as it is you aren't signing 4 guys who have the feet and size for left tackle. The better question that @Codaxx would ask is if we are signing the right type of linemen for Sark's preferred scheme. For the record, I do like our 2 commits. It just isn't nearly enough.
  9. It isn't that hard to evaluate. We have 2 guys coming in this year who are good. Both need to play inside in my opinion, but we would not have gotten Turntine if he was recruited inside. Max Wright should never see the field. So we have 2 guys and need 2 more. Malakai Lee has decent feet (not great) but he is huge. This makes for a good right tackle. Another good option at right tackle or guard would be Sam Utu. He is shorter, has more power, and has better feet than Lee. So the biggest issue we face is having 2 guys who we have recruited when we need 4. I think Sark would have been content with a Lee or bust approach. However, after today, I think he will see that we need numbers. Hopefully, he also see that guys who are tall but have shitty feet aren't good options. BTW, it was good to see Brooks get playing time. However, getting his feet wet against a good defensive front like Florida makes for a tough outing. I get that he was in the dog house, but wasting as many snaps as we did on Stroh was a mistake.
  10. We tried to hold but couldn't get a good grab
  11. Exactly And nice punt coverage.
  12. That wasn't executed well at all
  13. What a crappy pass? Why?
  14. Good halftime adjustments. Nice OL push.
  15. 3rd and 15 vs 2nd and 20?
  16. Nice pass We look prepared
  17. Blocking wonderfully
  18. Maybe Napier will keep his job
  19. I suspect 2 of those 3 won't be here next year.
  20. Why not? They both end up at 4th and 2.
  21. It is worse than that. Hungary was more modern and had a brighter future than the Czech Republic and most definitely Romania in 1990. Romania wasn’t even safe back then and people were pouring out of trains headed west. It looked 10X worse than a crowded NU subway during rush hour - not hyperbole as I would have been very surprised to hear of no deaths.
  22. https://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-september-30-2025/ Toplines Russia and Belarus may conduct special forces sabotage operations against critical infrastructure in Poland and launch additional drone incursions and blame Ukraine. Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) baselessly claimed on September 30 that Ukraine is preparing to conduct a false flag attack against critical Polish infrastructure in order to implicate Russia and Belarus.[1] The SVR claimed that Ukraine’s Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) and Polish intelligence will deploy a sabotage and reconnaissance group comprised of Russian and Belarusian nationals from the pro-Ukrainian Freedom of Russia Legion (LSR) and Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment to Poland. The SVR claimed that the troops will pose as Russian and Belarusian Spetsnaz personnel at a press conference after Polish security forces capture them and that the pro-Ukrainian troops will blame Russia and Belarus for the incident. The SVR claimed that Ukraine may simultaneously conduct an “attack” on critical infrastructure in Poland in order to “heighten public outcry.” The SVR claimed that Ukraine is trying to take advantage of the recent drone incursions into NATO airspace to inflame anti-Russian sentiment in Poland, accelerate escalation in the war, and incite European countries to intervene in the war on behalf of Ukraine. The Kremlin may have ordered the SVR to release this statement in order to evade responsibility for a possible future Russian and Belarusian sabotage operation against Poland. The Kremlin often uses the SVR to spread unfounded allegations of imminent attacks as part of disinformation campaigns designed to weaken support for Ukraine and sow doubt about the nature of Russia’s own provocations against NATO member states.[2] The Kremlin is likely setting information conditions to blame Ukraine for future attacks that Russia itself may conduct against Poland or other NATO states. Russia similarly accused Ukraine on September 26 of conducting the recent drone incursions into Polish and Romanian airspace to instigate a NATO-Russia war, despite the fact that Polish and Romanian officials attributed the incursions to Russia.[3] Kremlin-linked Moldovan politicians may call for protests in the coming days and weeks before Moldovan authorities validate the results of the September 28 parliamentary elections. The Kremlin-linked Patriotic bloc claimed on September 30 that Moldovan authorities committed “egregious” election violations and that the bloc will “seek justice through street protests, in the courts, and, if necessary, in the Constitutional Court.”[4] Kremlin-linked Moldovan politicians stated on September 29 that they would appeal the election results on the pretext of electoral violations.[5] High-ranking Kremlin officials continue to buttress Kremlin-linked Moldovan politicians’ claims of electoral fraud and violations. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed on September 30 that the elections were “fraudulent” and that Moldovan authorities “blatantly manipulated” the votes.[6] Russian Federation Council Chairperson Valentina Matvienko claimed on September 29 that Moldovan President Maia Sandu brought the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), which won a parliamentary majority in the elections, to victory “on bayonets” and that the elections were illegitimate.[7] Matvienko claimed that Moldovan citizens will not recognize the election. Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Spokesperson Maria Zakharova claimed on September 29 that the election was “unprecedentedly dirty” and that Moldovan authorities used extra-legal mechanisms, blackmail, and threats.[8] Moldovan law stipulates that the Central Election Commission (CEC) must create a report on the parliamentary election results within five days of the elections and then submit the report to the Constitutional Court within one day — by October 4.[9] The Constitutional Court must then confirm or invalidate the legality of the elections within 10 days of receiving the CEC report (no later than October 14). Electoral contestants can request that authorities recount the votes up until the court confirms the results. The Constitutional Court can declare the elections invalid if it finds violations of the electoral code during the electoral process or vote counting that influenced the results. ISW continues to assess that the Kremlin has been setting conditions to generate (possibly violent) protests to remove Sandu from power after the elections and may launch protests to contest the election results.[10] The Kremlin may still plan to ignite violent protests even should the Constitutional Court validate the results in October 2025, possibly in order to generate a Kremlin-initiated mirror-image of the spontaneous pro-European 2014 Euromaidan protests in Ukraine that drove pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych from office.[11] The Kremlin has set information conditions to ignite protests in Moldova as late as the end of November 2025.
  23. Probably not, but I used to see many, many reservists in Austin and would get referred a decent number of VA patients so you never know.
