  1. @Incredulity, you really don't want to know about your part destroying this republic. You want to parrot what you learned on the radio and never revisit it's validity. You're a lost cause. Fuck you and everybody like you.
  2. I've begun wondering if Sark has used these cupcake games to either bring Arch up to speed or, failing that, create a public consensus that a move has to be made. If he benches Arch now, it's not some crazy out-of-blue decision. Further, as I've written before, I think Arch being taken from the field with the challenge of earning his way back onto it is a new approach to his problems. If he doesn't play any better, he's welcome to leave should he choose to do so. He is not currently performing at a level to start at Texas nor is he showing much potential for getting that good. We're not the University of Arch. The Ohio State game meets that mark. The abysmal performance since then punctuates it.
  3. Other than a few judges that they overturn, they haven't hit a guard rail yet, and they keep pushing. Your fear is smart. They are a miasma. They float unstoppably and almost without form. The stinking fog of lies envelops us all and devours a relative few. Nobody knows what to do. I don't know what to do. I hate it.
  4. They won't talk about groypers, the Catholic Radical Right movement, or Kingdom Christianity. You see, their rise is news. News organizations (TV ones for sure) are hostile to news because exploring involves effort and being able to operate outside the template. I've learned of these movements in The New Yorker and The Atlantic. Radical mags printed in secret basements using mimeograph and only passed around by hand. They're so obscure, I bet CNN hasn't even heard of them. Lazy, incompetent (largely due to college education), and terrified describes CNN and other prominent national news outlets. Please let me know when CNN has a panel show exploring "Are Trans-sexuals a violent threat?" Too dumb to face the reality that they're question lends credibility to a notion that basic investigative journalism could have disproved by reviewing crime statistics or other credible sources. But no, it's so much easier to host a panel and allow somebody totally wrong and dishonest equal voice to truth. Every TV journalist's wet dream is to host their own news show.
  5. And just like Donald Trump, none of these aspects of his character are at all hidden or diluted. Which brings us to the second astute post: There it is. Compliments to both.
  6. The trans army is coming to kill us all! I look forward to reading Democrats excoriating the Dem party for not finding just the right way to message this and turn this whole fascism thing around. Help us, Charlie Schumer, you're our only hope...because we ain't doin' shit ourselves.
  7. Government Of Phonies Phony patriotism, phony piety, phony populists. They rule a loving electorate of phony badasses deluded into thinking vicarious violence and cruelty prove their superiority.
  8. I highly recommend watching this if you are vague on groypers. I'd looked up the term a few times. This is a clear description.

    A&M at ND

    Remember when the ND coach decided to be aggressive and go for it on fourth down at midfield in the second half? Failed. Flipped the field. A&M moves just enough to get a long field goal. Hey man, I'm a aggressive!

    I have no doubt that we kick the shit out of air and probably the scout team, too. Practice Texas is the best team in the country!
  11. He knows everybody on the field. He likes the guys on defense and they like him. Can it be more comfortable? Also, they don't scrimmage 1s vs 1s all day in practice.
  12. It doesn't even have to be a thought out conclusion on the part of players that they're wasting effort. I think it's more emotional. If after nearly every play you're blowing out air and patting Arch on the shoulder saying, "don't worry man, you're going to be great," you lose the top level of enthusiasm and belief that it takes to compete against great competition. The words become emptier with every repetition. "Here we go again" is a corrosive mantra. "We love Arch, but Caldwell's the guy now. Look! We're sustaining a drive!" works a lot better.
  13. How do we know that? Are you speaking about what he says in public? If so, that's at best a very opaque window into what he says to players.
  14. I may be the worst thread-starter in the history of the game no matter the board.
  15. Did I drive everybody away? I need to work on my shtick.
  16. Do they give championship trophies for "recruiting reasons?" I don't see how a collosal failure will help recruiting. Arch has already provided an extraordinary recruiting boost for which I am grateful. Losing in the name of hoping he pans out is ludicrous.
  17. Congrats on your guy. Now I shall vomit outside on the grass.
  18. Once a person is wrong he can never be right again. That's your argument? Sound.
  19. He's had three games of those plus playing time last year. Do you think his performance is what to expect from a person who has been two years in the system? What type of game reps correct a sidearm throw into the dirt? I think you think of him as a five star recruit. That's not what he is anymore.
  20. I agree that that's possible, and I surely desire to see it happen. My advocacy for benching him does not mean that he should not have the chance to earn the spot back. I think earning the spot is exactly what he needs. It's not his fault that so much was given to him earlier and that so much is expected of and predicted for him now. He needs a lesser hill to climb. That may be moving from second team back to first team. He would win back the confidence of the offense if he were to do that. Developing him on the field is an unmitigated disaster at this point. I don't fault Sark, yet.
  21. That wasn't the question.
  22. I'd be looking nervous. Then I'd be looking for the back-up.
