  1. 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 their question lends credibility to a notion that basic investigative journalism could have been 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I may be the worst thread-starter in the history of the game no matter the board.
  12. Did I drive everybody away? I need to work on my shtick.
  13. 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.
  14. Congrats on your guy. Now I shall vomit outside on the grass.
  15. Once a person is wrong he can never be right again. That's your argument? Sound.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. I'd be looking nervous. Then I'd be looking for the back-up.
  19. Why the fuck is anybody talking about Vince or Gilbert? Neither fell to this level of incompetence. Not even close. All they have in common is the five star rating out of high school. Who gives a shit about that once they play? I qualify my responses below by saying I don't know shit, but I can see. Whoever the fifth year senior is that we portalled in. He is actually a college QB. Arch is not at this moment. Arch is not improving by being on the field during any of our games this year. Let's try taking him out and see how that works.' I don't think we have a winning record this year by continuing to force Arch as QB1. What else can be created for a guy who sidearms throws into the ground and can't hit receivers? Ten incompletions in the second quarter against UTEP. That's not someone you change your offense for. Arch's failure is likely beginning to affect play at every offensive position. Failure breeds hopelessness. I hurt writing that about Manning. Best case scenario has him stepping back from the starting role and earning his way back. Vince could do shit. Arch is not his equal in any area right now. I think PTSD Arch is now harming the performance of the entire offense. How many times can you run a route correctly or pass block well or pick up a blitz if every such effort proves fruitless. Ten incomplete passes in a row. What I've seen the last few season are well designed plays where QBs fail to connect. Ewers, likely due to injury, couldn't hit the open deep ball. I thought Arch would add that dimension, but he is dangerously inaccurate. As for choosing QBs: Everybody liked what they saw of Manning at his little high school. I don't think anyone would have anticipated this breakdown nor been able to prevent it. Ewers was often injured. I'll say we're having bad luck at QB. Manning must sit. Performance is everything for choosing starters. It's pretty simple. ETA: Watching the good match-ups today, I saw Texas losing to all of these teams, even the Aggies, if we continue with Manning. Our goal is to win not sooth a hothouse flower.
  20. He must be benched. I think it's his best chance to get straightened out even if that's not why I think we should bench him. We should bench him because he has played well enough to deserve continued starts. We will not win with this level of performance. Maybe Caldwell is our Randy McEachern. You can't keep a QB playing this poorly in the game. If it's pressure bugging him, then take it off of him by starting somebody who looks like they know what they're doing. This game is the worst by a Texas starting QB that I've ever seen. Football players cannot afford to be emotional cripples. And, to repeat from earlier posts, I like Arch Manning.
  21. The Georgia Tech coach in the opening drive decides to get "super aggressive" according to the idiots in the booth. If they get the first or the td, the rambling wreck be veddy happy. Clemson be veddy sad. Even so, if they just kick the points, the rambling wreck be veddy happy. Clemson be veddy sad. But, turn over the ball on downs, and no happiness or points for GT, Clemson wins the series. Clemson veddy happy. So, it ends up, GT sacrifices an easy 3 points against a ranked team in their first possession, and Clemson players rejoice. Coaches: You don't know the value of 3 points this early in the game. Right now, in the second half, Clemson leads GT by 1. But Roma, you idiot, GT got the ball right back on a turnover and scored td! I am an idiot, but I do realize that that same scenario playing out with three points already scored puts GT with a two possession lead over a demoralized Clemson. Where else will this play out today? GT may still win, but I but Coach SuperDuper Aggressive wishes he had those 3 points. Tom Herman and now Sark have repeatedly chosen the bad experience of failing to score after a drive. Somebody stop the madness!
  22. They're searching for quotes to cover both sides in order to make sure nobody thinks they're picking on the traitors.
