  1. You would think if you really gave a shit about the country and truly understood the gravity of the situation you would be meeting daily with democratic leaders, asking their opinions, going over polls with the party and taking votes from congressional members to determine if the best chance to defeat fascism was you staying in the race or not. Another choice might be to circle the fucking wagons, shut out all opposing opinions and act like a massive narcissist. My opinion of Joe has fallen off a cliff.
  2. Rickea is smoke. Watched her play the other night, great game and she's beautiful. Almost came to UT, played for Vic at Miss. State.
  3. It would. Smaller ball helps as well.
  4. Absolutely reasonable statement. They draft the top talent from the colleges and pull good foreign players in as well. I have zero problem with anyone not liking the play/talent in the WNBA, to each his own, and the talent level in college is getting deeper so the play should get better and the teams perhaps more even. But I can't help thinking I hope you guys don't watch the Lady Longhorns because the play there is... not at the WNBA level. I have been watching the UT Women for a long time and really enjoy it, but right now in the W we only have 3 players active. Sug Sutton 2 years Joyner Holmes 4 years Ariel Atkins 6 years Sutton gets some time on the court, Holmes less so, but Atkins is a star - best on her team IMHO. I think the current squad has some real talent on it, and expect to see a number of our girls in the W when it's their time, but by far most of the players at UT are not WNBA worthy. Do you guys watch the ladies and dislike the product there as well, or maybe because it's Texas it's watchable?
  5. Welp, hadn't thought of that. That sidesteps a lot of incendiary issues, let's put that at 90% at this point.
  6. He’s doing his goodest to Ginsberg his legacy. Ya need to go Brandon.
  7. I think too much credit, they really prepared him trying to make it work. The debate was not a disaster in effect, the debate may be what saves the nation. The democratic campaign was under water and sometimes to fix something, first you need to destroy it. We were (are?) running grandpa against satan. We need a vigorous, aggressive champion (ex- prosecutor? ) to go at Trump with both barrels. We need a wildly contrasting articulate truth warrior to make that bleach drinking antichrist evident for the narcissistic moronic jackass that he is. Find our defender of democracy and let's ride.
  8. I certainly understand the pessimism but the energy has massively shifted around Joe. The BMD are now saying no more candy until you behave. The Biden camp needs to do this with grace and not cost us votes or burn up valuable time, there is nothing for them to prove, the way is lost.
  9. Yeah, Aces getting back into form. I wondered if Plum wasn't motivated by playing Caitlin and that got her going, she has looked great the last two games. Lynx forward and Olympian Napheesa Collier suffered a concerning non contact foot injury mid-game yesterday and did not return. Hopefully nothing serious.
  10. Dems always knife to gunfight. Gloves off, get loud, get nasty. We have 1000 times more ammo for all the horseshit they do. Media blitz swing states nonstop.
  11. Love Joe, and he righted a broken ship, but he’s reached his sell-buy date. Moves like he forgot his walker. Don’t Ginsberg this Joe, your country needs you to step aside. Feels like a zero chance he wins this, but a puncher’s chance with someone else.
  12. R votes R, D votes D, and the folks in the middle who apparently don't understand they are voting on their basic right to vote just want an alternative between a fossil and a criminal. Kamala gets the war chest, steps into the candidacy easily and carries the black and women votes. Prefer Whitmer but Harris has the money this late in the race.
  13. For all you WNBA haters. Watching a game the other day and someone throws up a wedgie. The center for Dallas tried to get it down but nope, couldn't quite pull it off. They went and got a broom.
  14. Holy fuck. The Clark effect is for reals.
  15. Clark not hitting, but her passing is keeping them in the game. You absolutely see her teammates learning to make the difficult pass, just not as adept at it as Clark. I don't expect this to be close late, but hope it is. Really fun game with a packed house.
  16. Yeah, I think so too. I love me some Mitchell but....
  17. Thanks for posting the line-up. Yeah, the 3 from the Fever really stood out. I took that to be fan voting for Caitlin's team. DiJonai's play was certainly deserving. Reese and Clark, get the popcorn ready.
  18. Womens. Actually they didn't come into the NBA as rookies and garnered far more attention and outside contracts than the all star vets already there. The WNBA exploded when Clark showed up, not so when Luka joined the league. The black women looked around and wondered why was Caitlin getting all this attention and they didn't. Certainly understandable. I think they are slowly coming around to the massive benefits of the Clark effect.
  19. Clark and Reese both on the All Star team together. This could be interesting.
  20. Yes they are! Aces get Gray back and returning to form.
  21. Angel is a rookie and weighs 165. She's getting contested in the paint by Wilson 195, BG 205, Hamby 189, Jonquel Jones 215 and Teaira McCowan 239 etc. She's 6'3" -- BG is 6'9" McCowan 6"7" What worked at LSU doesn't work now, she will figure it out. She is already a great rebounder and will be a great player. I'm just hoping she keeps her focus on basketball.
  22. Yeah, not always a fan of Angel’s maturity level, but she is rapidly becoming a star in the W. Definitely earned a slot in the all star game. Has been playing much better, much sooner than I thought, rookie of the year selection will be interesting.
  23. It's Crohn's disease and can be a real bummer, very sorry to hear that. The Sparks taking some hits lately.
