Florida tackling our guys from behind or blatantly holding...no penalty. No Texas holding goes unnoticed, ever. Florida with the most obvious PI...no penalty.
Up by 40 in the SEC, especially as a newcomer, you were going to get no calls.

They seem to be missing all of the Florida holding.

I'm convinced no one fucking does anything anymore.ย
I'm building a company from scratch and we have gotten more done than everyone else in this industry in the last 4 months that we are to the point where we are so far ahead no one will catch us.ย
Big tech can't even spend there way to solving problems anymore.ย
Late to the party, but this.ย Big tech, with some exceptions, does not want to spend, because they really do not know how to spend.ย Innovation, nimble architecture and design, small teams, low latency feedback, etc. are anathema to these folks.ย Every idea that is reasonably sound is then assessed by the bureaucracy, inevitibly leading to the conclusion that the company will need to invest 8-9 figures, 4 years, and 500 people to get a product.ย And that the product cannot interfere with the existing roadmap, etc.ย Many really good ideas are dead on the vine.ย No one wants to challenge the status quo, etc.ย AND - if there is some internal seed funding - the existing players spend a decent amount of their time trying to derail these new programs.ย They think it's existential for them, which is mostly false.
@immamac's example of large results in a short time is exactly what I have seen in small teams and small companies in my career.ย LOTS of shit can get done in a very short amount of time.ย First, the team is small, so the overall communication network is small (fwiw, it is a function of the square of the # of channels - people in this case).ย Second, selection approach is rigorous.ย You cannot afford to add mediocre people to the fray.ย 3rd, each person MUST produce at least 1/n of the output for the company - or should have that mindset at a minimum.ย In a 10 person company, knowing that you need to produce at least 10% of the ouput is convicting AND motivating.ย Now convert that to a 300, 1000, or 10000 person company or team with a shitload of "here's how we've always done it" mindset from middle management, 'cuz that's the only thing they know.

That 2023 draft was abysmal for Dallas.
Picked a random, well-run organization to asses their 2023 draft: Pittsburgh
1: Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia; Starting RT (struggles at times)
2: Joey Porter, Jr, CB, Penn St; Starting CB
2: Keeanu Benton, NT, Wisconsin; Starting NT
3: Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia; TE2, strong blocker, plays a ton in 12 personnel.
4: Nick Herbig, LB, Wisconsin; WLB2 - backs up Watt
7: Corey Trice, CB, Purdue; on Roster - IR
7: Spencer Anderson, OL, Maryland; on roster - backup G100% of that draft is on the team.ย And this team is 6-2.

TDs surrendered by defense: (CSU, ULM, OU scored 0 TDs)
Mich: 8-78 1:54 left in 4th Quarter. Texas was already up 31-6.
UTSA: 2-75 11:07 left in 2nd.ย Texas won 56-7.
MSU: 7-75, 6:12 left in 4th.ย Texas was up 28-6 at the time.
UGA: 4-13, 0:06 left in 1st.
UGA: 3-34, 8:30 left in 2nd.
UGA: 11-89, 12:04 left in 4th.
Vandy: 5-31, 9:40 left in 1st
Vandy: 8-38, 3:11 left in 3rd
Vandy: 8-75, 0:46 left in 4th.So - 9 TDs total.ย 4 given up in under 40 yard drives post turnover.ย Mich, UTSA, and MSU drives were meaningless.

Mechanically the campaign was good and likely effective. I don't think it was a good campaign because it missed the mark entirely.ย
I believe @immamac's point:ย They executed a shitty strategy to perfection.ย This is the outcome.

Agreed. Iโm surprised the Dems didnโt have the foresight to see that Biden was a 1 term president.ย
This.ย It seemed to me he was in 2020.
1 minute ago, Anastasis said:The problem was that Biden's people didn't shut it down discretely, and the media covered for his cognitive decline right up until it was completely untenable to continue to do so.ย
I read that Biden's people enjoyed the adulation, the experience, etc. of being president, so they did their best to hide/ignore his cognitive decline until it was no longer possible.
D's did nothing strategic in 2020. A potato could have beaten Trump that year...

One consolation - no more political ads.
I guess the Chili's meetup is no longer happening.

NSIAP - she only got 78% in Philadelphia.ย Lowest I can find - Kerry got 80% in 2004.
FAR fewer votes than Biden.D's need to do a post mortem on this and craft a good plan for 2026.ย Like it or not, it's clear Harris was not a good candidate.ย And that die was cast in 2020, when she was chosen as the de facto successor to Biden.ย Biden chose to step down too late.ย etc.ย And, her plans did not resonate with voters.ย SMH.

Cambria County, PA extends voting until 10pm due to technical issues with machinesย
Did not understand the possible significance of this until I looked it up.ย Cambria county went to Trump in 2020 68% to 31% (around 26k votes) and 67% to 31% in 2016.ย ย

I believe 538, Economist and Silver Bulletin all flipped to Harris this morning/overnight.ย
Yes.ย 538 shows: 503-495-2 Harris in latest 1000 simulations.ย That's a far cry from the 64% Harris predictions in Sept.ย ย
