  1. Working up the legal justification. I still expect more pressure to try and force Maduro into exile.
  2. Shot: Chaser: First world nations are medieval peasant maxxing.
  3. Texas is functionally being treated as a two loss team. Ahead of several two loss teams and behind some. Right behind two-loss USC. About a 1/5 chance of making the CFP— better than any 3 loss team. In the AP poll the two loss teams ahead don’t have more than one non-competitive loss. They have good wins. Texas’ win vs OU and Vandy are good but wins over UGA, USC, Pitt, Bama, Iowa, Arizona State, and ND are good wins. Some really good wins. And there’s also not clearly handling bad teams a couple times. Texas isn’t being punished for the tOSU game; the big issues are the way the UGA and UF losses went and the inconsistency in other wins.
  4. I don’t love it but this is what CFB is. Haven’t seen language on guarantees and buyout.
  5. 14 through 3 against UGA and had them stuck in the mud and the kick got the defense just demporalized. Texas’ biggest problem on defense is an inability to sustain drives on offense. Should—should—be able to do that on Arkie.
  6. Pitt: GameDay is here, we are one of the hottest teams in the country, marquee opponent and chance to put us on the map! This is great: Narduzzi: Eh, I don’t really give a shit about this.
  7. Taylen Green is legit good and would be a superstar with a competent roster. But Arkie’s explosiveness isn’t designed to beat a defensive team like Texas and it’s at home. I’d take y’all at something like 30-24 with one Arkie score coming after the game is knitted up.
  8. Ole Miss tonight against Gata is elite. This is top 3 or so in the SEC.
  9. The bottom of the SEC is what makes the conference better. The fact is that almost every team is stocked with dudes who will be in the league. More than any other conference. Any team is capable of playing well for a few quarters and jumping all over a better team that isn’t at its best. Auburn, SCAR, Florida, MSU exemplify that. Beating them is not easy.
  10. Beamer was so unnecessarily mouthy at the half. Could have easily said something like “no, I’m not surprised, we’ve had great weeks of practice, we still believe we have things to accomplish, and now we need to come out and keep executing in the next half. Can’t forget we are playing a good team.” Team fed off him and drove into a wall. He looked like a tweaker on the sideline.
  11. The football gods smote Beamer for hubris today.
  12. Nah, y’all are decent but not great. I’ve posted before so won’t again but GaTech got some great wins well beyond what should have been expected. It’s painful when the crash comes for sure. I promise that it’s easier on your ticker and brain to enjoy this sport by taking a step back and honestly looking at what you see. Rarely as bad or as good as it looks.
  13. Forced to bet something important? I’d take them on a neutral field.
  14. This is gonna be unpopular but: if you’re still dismissing Notre Dame, that’s all just based on message board smoke and not watching them play. They were not bad in the losses and are much better now. Carr is the young QB I’s choose to build my team around. Love will be in NYC and would be a contender if it wasn’t a QB aware. OL plays smart and tough, entire D has grown into themselves. Freeman is an excellent, excellent coach. They should be in the CFP and will be extremely scary from the bottom half of the bracket.
  15. Every season it’s the same story, overall a .500 record.
  16. Hats off to Elko and the AD for building the sickest ever roller coaster yet for me.
  17. Seems like that’s been reported three times or so in the past month….but, it will be a great hire for them. It’s completely possible he will have VaTech in the CFP before PSU fixes itself.
  18. That segment on the UGA TE and his brother punched me in the feels.
  19. This will do incredible things for mental health.
  20. Fetterman is nowhere near as bad as Sinema or Manchin; he’s a +90% D voter and those other two were around 70% or below. You get Senators like them because states like Pennsylvania and West Virginia exist.
  21. We have the same lawyer to blame for that. After he originally issued his extreme fatwa based on the 19th century anti-deficiency act, he moderated it by clarifying the “life, safety, etc.” exception that formalized making people work without pay. Instead, he made the threat of shutdown just painful enough that it became useful as a weapon. It can’t be said enough: before this opinion Congress would get lazy and let funding lapse before getting around to it. People just kept going. No one cared. We could even argue things were more sane. This whole thing reminds me of dysfunctional self-harm rituals on a societal level. “If I fail this test I’ll cut myself, that will motivate me to study.”
  22. The House needed an additional signature on a discharge petition to move forward with an obligation to release. The new Arizona rep provides that, and could have long ago but Mike Johnson sent the House home and refused to swear her in until the Senate voted on a budget resolution.
  23. I’m workshopping an idea where these super conferences incorporate a “pod” format that distills things down into a manageable, round-robin format to produce one champion. Maybe these pods could be regionally grouped and structured with important rivalries, and they’d be small enough where teams could also do fun or historic “crossover” games with other pods. Then at the end of the year the pod champions could play other pod champions at a cool stadium in a neutral site, maybe name the games something local or evocative. IDK, probably not cooking here at all.
