  1. That’s not how it works - he has to walk before he can run: it takes awhile to get comfortable and mentally feel that you are ready. So expect him to work in slowly and increase his carries each week as he feels increasingly ready.
  2. I wonder what Gerry is basing this on - talking with people or watching. The reason I ask is that some of Baxter’s issues are probably more due to practicing with a large brace and just getting use to the field and competition again and getting comfortable with his knee. Who knows how much is due to physical limitations.
  3. Now Burton is just trolling ctj.
  4. A Boy and his Dog had a surprise ending but that was way earlier.
  5. Zionism is a movement for a return to the Jewish homeland where Jews could be safe away from the anti-semitism Jews experienced throughout the middle east, europe, south america, russia and other places.
  6. He obviously had not learned to say, "you are right" and/or gained selective hearing. Eventually he either learned or is unmarried or divorced.
  7. Yeah, Neto is my main concern because he is pretty much an unknown. I hope they are putting the best player in that spot.
  8. "Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea." You may be right. Looking at their webpage, it is unclear whether they are talking about the last 2 years or many years and hence many regimes. The statement is on almost every page of their website. Found what I was looking for: https://www.btselem.org/about_btselem Since B’Tselem’s inception in 1989, we have been documenting, researching and publishing statistics, testimonies, video footage, position papers and reports on human rights violations committed by Israel in the Occupied Territories. The initial mandate we took upon ourselves focused on the occupation regime in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and in the Gaza Strip. However, over the years, it has become clear that the concept of two parallel regimes operating between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River – a permanent democracy west of the Green Line and a temporary military occupation to the east of it – is divorced from reality. The entire area that Israel controls is ruled by a single apartheid regime, governing the lives of all people living in it and operating according to one organizing principle: establishing and perpetuating the control of one group of people – Jews – over another – Palestinians – through laws, practices and state violence. So they are looking at all Israeli regimes. I assume that it wants a central government without borders although it never states as much. Personally, I think that thought is divorced from reality. It has never worked in the past and with the deep seated hate between so many people, getting it to work in the future is ... unlikely. I guess a final interpretation is if they are speaking metaphorically when they state, "B’Tselem strives to end this regime". Perhaps they mean simply to end apartheid and occupation rather than ending the physical regime. That seems far-fetched though considering the statement seems to be the organization's mission statement. No one writes a mission statement as a metaphorical.
  9. Yeah I was thinking of on-campus. I don't remember going into the Union so it must have been the separate building you were talking about. I thought it was near Anna Hiss so probably it was somewhere between the Union and the gym.
  10. Where was the on campus movie theater and what was it called? I never went there sober but I vaguely remember watching Eraserhead and Basket Case there.
  11. That quote barely makes any sense: B’Tselem strives to end this regime (Israel’s regime). It is the only way forward for both Palestinian and Israeli. The only way to interpret it is that any remaining Israelis needs to be under Palestinian rule. And they (B’Tselem) thinks that is the way forward for Israelis.
  12. I haven’t been to a strip club in many years. Do dollar bills still have a purpose?
  13. Taaffe being able to fix calls is a big deal
  14. What’s funny is that I thought Shaw would be the bell cow of our DT transfers.
  15. That may be a bad idea if Baker looks good. We need Baker engaged. So I think I would move him inside and on the left if he really has already positioned himself into a starting role.
  16. I’m interested to see what Justus and Lance bring from the outside as freshmen
  17. NATO aircraft scrambled during major Russian drone, missile strike on Ukraine A drone also crossed into Lithuania from Belarus, an official told ABC News. ByDavid Brennan July 28, 2025, 6:23 AM 1:04 Trump says he will reduce 50-day timeline for Russia's Putin to make peace dealPresident Donald Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he would reduce the 50-day timeline he gave Russia to agree to a peace deal with Ukraine. LONDON -- Polish and allied NATO aircraft were scrambled in response to a large Russian drone and missile attack launched into Ukraine on Sunday night, the Polish military's Operational Command said in a statement. "Polish and allied duty aircraft have been scrambled and ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have reached the highest state of readiness," the command said in a statement posted to X in the early hours of Monday morning, as hundreds of drones and missiles targeted sites across Ukraine. The alert lasted for around three hours, after which the command posted another statement saying that "deployed forces and resources have returned to standard operational activities." NATO's Air Command and Swedish JAS 39 Gripen fighters stationed in Poland took part in the response, the Polish Operational Command said. An official at Lithuania's Defense Ministry confirmed to ABC News that a drone also crossed into Lithuania from Belarusian airspace. Russian forces regularly route drones through Belarusian airspace to attack Ukrainian targets from the north. A search for the drone was still underway as of Monday morning, the official said. Russia launched 324 drones and seven missiles into Ukraine overnight, the Ukrainian air force said in a statement published on Telegram. Of those, 309 drones and two missiles were shot down or suppressed, it said, with 15 strike drones and two missiles impacting across three locations. During his visit to the U.K. on Monday, President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the continued long-range attacks. The president said he would shorten the 50-day window offered to Putin earlier this month in which to agree to a ceasefire deal or face punishing sanctions and tariffs. "I'm disappointed in President Putin, very disappointed in him," Trump told reporters. "So we're going to have to look and I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to lesser number, because I think I already know the answer what's going to happen." At least eight people were injured in Kyiv after a Russian drone hit a residential highrise, the head of the city's military administration said in a post to Telegram. Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office, wrote on Telegram that the most recent barrage was evidence of Putin's lack of commitment to a proposed ceasefire. "This is how Putin responds to calls to end the war and sit at the negotiating table," he wrote. "Russian air attacks are still ongoing, with civilian infrastructure, homes and people, including in Kyiv, already affected." "There is no alternative to sanctions, strengthening Ukraine's long-range capabilities and tough actions against Putin's circle and Putin himself," Yermak wrote. "He wants nothing but war and Ukraine's defeat. And there will be no defeat." Referring to the scrambling of NATO aircraft and the drone crossing into Lithuania, Yermak added, "The Russians and their satellites are testing NATO's reaction. Drones entering the airspace of the Baltic countries are signals that cannot be ignored." Zelenskyy also posted to Telegram noting that Kyiv is "constantly strengthening the Ukrainian air shield and it is very important to maintain full understanding among partners about how exactly they can help. Step by step, we are closing the funding gap for drone production and this week I will have new talks with partners regarding this task." "Restoration and rescue work is currently underway everywhere it is needed," the president added of the overnight drone and missile impacts. "This particularly concerns electricity supply. Necessary assistance is being provided to the wounded." Russia's Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said its forces shot down seven Ukrainian drones overnight. ABC News' Hannah Demissie, Michelle Stoddart, Lalee Ibssa and Fidel Pavlenko contributed to this report.
  18. Who are the obvious top 3? I see WIngo as one then Livingstone. Is Moore really the obvious starter over Mosley? And we hear McCutcheon is coming along. It's gonna be a real battle.
  19. Moore is also a good blocker and besides being a little faster is a little quicker and has better acceleration. Still, I see round 4 for him.
  20. And Cruel to Be Kind may be the best Nick Lowe song.
  21. I agree although it does happen occasionally where a guy without elite traits has a highly successful pro career. Personally I see him similar to Jordan Whittington who was drafted in the 6th but Moore has a slightly higher skill and a better QB.
  22. This is true - plus back then a lot of the drugs were pretty cardiotoxic. Nowadays, biologic side-effects are not quite as bad as the original chemotherapeutics which targeted fast growing and dividing cells.
