Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
I guess injury concerns weigh into this, but I'd like the 20 carries Wisner might get in the bowl game would be useful for advertising myself going into the portal. Presumably he's saying "I'll rest on my performance in the A&M game".

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
You bring up a good point, which is that Niblett probably approximates Wisner's output for 75% of the plays we run with him as the featured back. He's probably less effective on inside zone and power but fine for most everything else that just requires him to find space. No idea on his blocking, that's more than likely a down-grade.

You’re quite welcome to ignore it or try to make it better, kemosabe.

I wouldn’t even consider at those prices, personally.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
I think basketball schedules are generally more flexible than football, but presumably the schedule is mostly set a year or two our and Beard’s preference for racking up wins against lower level completion was introduced during his tenure and continued by Terry.

The Lost Generation essay
I would think the candidates running in 2026 have gotten the message and we‘ll see the election as a laboratory on what messaging seems to work best before 2028. It would also seem to me that the predominant sentiment here is “why are you even arguing about middle vs working class conflicts when the elites profit from that discord?” that’s mirroring some of what the primary candidates are exploring. My biggest concern is that the Democrats feel like everything is solved with smart policy and that’s either overly wishful or doesn’t resonate beyond a single election. It’s also one of the things that @Bozo_Casanova has repeated here and on other threads-we don’t have a great solution for the Jacob Savages of the world but it they will clearly vote against us if we paint them as racist asshole incels instead of admitting “yeah, you got a raw deal in some respects.”

Who’s to blame for the schedule? Beard/CDC? I prefer Barnes “steel sharpens steel” approach…

You don't care about them getting fucked and said so, to wit @Brisketexan’s responses over the last few pages read a little like good Smeagal arguing with bad Gollum.

Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
This one was playing ahead of Avatar at the IMAX and looked amazing.

The Lost Generation essay
I think this has been a good discussion, as several posters up thread pointed out (and nary a word about Trump, thank God for the respite). It's hard to have a good discussion without there being some provocation, and I'm appreciative of @Bozo_Casanova for being willing to take the live fire this weekend. I deleted something from my previous post in regards to your question about solutions because I didn't want to speak more for him than I already have (and you addressed the question to him), but I think just acknowledgment is kind of what the author is looking for. Yes, policies that lift everyone up and more correctly point the finger at entrenched interests and gatekeepers is the right prescription, but just acknowledging that there are losers in the effort for fairer representation seems a hard task for many people here.

The Lost Generation essay
That's not what he does; the author is specifically attributing the result to white males a generation or two ahead of him in the career ladder, not the historically underrepresented groups who found themselves with improved employment opportunities.

You and I both clearly feel the same on this, and I also think it's why @Bozo_Casanova is getting accused of being condescending. He is, in my opinion, condescending of a general "if THEY feel that way it's their own fucking problem" response that makes up a good number of the posts in the thread.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
Interesting this hasn't had a comment since September... Caught it just now at the Bullock IMAX--it's LONG. Amazing spectacle and no one does 3D like Cameron. It's worth the price of the admission in this venue but I'm not sure it's spectacular enough otherwise to warrant theatrical. I prefer the first two; better, more digestible screenplays.

To be fair, I read his post with a general sense of incredulity, too, and it appears supported by data. Richard Reeves discusses this further on his substack That said, whether it's because of shitty parents, shitty values, systemic or policy choices, etc., their grievance is a problem politically and that's at the heart of the discussion.
