The Lost Generation essay
It’s good, you should read it. Moreover, anyone wanting to see the US dig itself out of the MAGA size hole in our electorate needs to better understand any group’s sense of disenfranchisement, whether or not you agree with its justification.

2025 Texas Coaching/Support Staff Thread
I have a suspicion that this isn’t really about the 2025 season performance, it’s at least partially about the 2025 offseason when Sarkisian disappeared. It sounds like he trusted Kwiatkowski to handle some things, maybe hiring, maybe recruiting, and got let down.

The Lost Generation essay
I just finished the article and want to let it stew a bit, but since I baited you into making the thread I'll chime in about this. My wife works for a FAANG firm and showed me pictures from the Christmas party from the firm's headquarters in California and there are virtually no white male faces in the pictures (old or young). I doubt it's because of DEI (it's preponderantly SE and E Asians that make up the attendees), but it does seem to align to an outcome that has the results described in the essay. That said, I think it's interesting that the author's seems to be overly focused on industries that are under a lot of employment stress to begin with. Education, journalism, and film and tv production have all had a rough decade. FWIW, the talk in film circles is that Sundance has gotten swallowed whole by the representation and identity focused programmers, and it's kinda ruined their ability to help promote indie films.

This--I think posters are thinking it's 2015 rules.

2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
I am a little curious about what's changed in the WNBA that justifies a price tag of $250m when the Comets couldn't find a buyer at $10m 13 years ago.

2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
I like selling high on Brito after his AFL performance and I’ve never been a believer in Melton. Even if Verlander is coming back, I think we need to add another starter besides Burrows.

Jacob Savage, Millenial White Men are getting the shaft I'm actually reading it now so I can recite the catechisms to @Bozo_Casanova😉

I wish you would, I don't think we have enough single topic threads on the board and it means everything kind of gets sucked into the various Trump threads.

I prefer it be at a later date and in prison, if we live that long.

On the bright side, at least security blanket Nansen wasn't promoted to full DC...

That actually is kind of a pattern we’ve seen across college football when the head coach is also a coordinator, particularly at A&M.

Nah, it was someone who wasn’t notorious for anything else and unlike LotusHorn and his confederates, didn’t attempt to portray himself as having any special insight aside from what he was told.

There used to be a guy on here that was Muschamp’s neighbor and would provide team gossip, if I recall correctly.

I’d also love a commitment to not recruiting linebackers too short to ride all of the coasters at six flags.

Maybe, but why announce it as a firing? Ready for Burton to give us the scoop that it was a mutual decision in contrast to all evidence saying otherwise.

Holy shit, firing Kwiatkowski can’t possibly be performance related.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - This Is Fine
Devil's advocate--we think that's true because the $9.95 guys are repeating it, and their source is the coaches... I mean, I get the logic, but our LB and RB depth is pretty thin.

Also, probably the easiest position on the field besides kicker to incorporate someone who is new to the team, I.e., least amount of friction for team to team movement. Probably another chit in the “save your money for 5 stars and the portal” pile as a team building paradigm.
