  1. So we are on Day 4 now since Tyler Robinson was arrested. Where are the actual updates and evidence on motive outside of vague sources from the FBI that have trickled out to the press? What's taking so long?
  2. At this point if feels so clear he has the yips. I'd guess that his family would think the same. I expect everyone around him to be proactive on this, whether it's having him talk to a sports psychologist or other athletes that have gone through something similar. The question will be how long it takes to get him right.
  3. You can define things as propaganda or activism without having a personal reaction to either. “Facts don’t care about your feelings”, right?
  4. Sounds like they are just holding on to a narrative. I’d like to actually see/hear what the roommate and family are saying.
  5. A button to have the option to contribute $100,000 monthly. Lovely.
  6. Just read the article and literally no actual evidence has been released yet. Just veiled rhetoric. Incredible.
  7. I doubt it fixes anything but Sark needs to tell Arch to let it fly next week. Don’t worry about turning the ball over or anything, don’t think, just see it and throw it. Play him the entire game if you have to, we (probably) win no matter how bad he is. If there’s no sign of improvement you have a bye week to get Caldwell ready for Florida.
  8. Respectfully, what the fuck. Read that to yourself again.
  9. Fake news is poor way to say it, but your overall point might be correct. But let's remember, in the aftermath of his killing, the rhetoric on the right immediately went to trans shooter. Immediately. Trans people were doxxed online that afternoon as possible suspects. They have been trying to pigeonhole everything into the transgender accusation. The groyper theory only came about after some information was provided that could corroborate it. That people in that gamer space is where lots of groypers live. That he wore a Pepe meme Halloween costume. That Nick Fuentes, the leader of the groyper "movement", had a very specific beef with Charlie Kirk. You're right that "both sides" could be wrong. But one side went about it disingenuously.
  10. Since we all originally came to this board with a shared love of UT, I kindly ask everyone (no matter your political affiliation) reading this thread to spend 15 minutes watching this video. A calm and thoughtful view from across the pond regarding Charlie Kirk and the aftermath.
  11. Look, I acknowledge many on the left have insulated themselves online as well and certain people provide them misinformation/disinformation. But equating it is huge mistake IMO. Kirk didn't just "challenge people's views". He promoted misogyny, bigotry, and Christian nationalism. Did he also espouse some religious views that were palatable? Sure, I'll give that to you. But if someone is saying good things and also terrible things, you can't just ignore the negatives. You have to red flag that stuff, and maybe most on the right never saw it. We have become a people obsessed with being right, instead of being obsessed with getting it right. Perception is not reality. Reality is reality. We've lost that.
  12. The only way to have empathy for right wingers in this environment is to realize they are being fed nothing but misinformation/disinformation through their social media feeds, algorithms, and conservative news sources. The ability to curate information was a disastrous development. And we're not able to have fruitful conversations about this with our friends and family to make a difference. But I'm gonna keep trying.
  13. He didn't play well two weeks ago, but clearly yesterday was WAY worse than SJSU game.
  14. Come on, man. If he looked unhappy it's because he played the worst game of his life.
  15. White kid from Utah kills Charlie Kirk = "The group of people that did this will pay." Fucking ghouls.
  16. Why would you even need to watch other QBs to make this determination
  17. Once they go over film together it will look much worse. Arch needs to find some outside help for his mindfuckery, and Sark needs to work quickly on longterm backup plans. The problems are undeniable and can't be shrugged off. That's the only "good" news about this debacle.
  18. Simon is legit. The only guy that can break a tackle so far.
