  1. …which is why three posts up there is a drunk Russian instead of my original football related post.
  2. 2026 NCAAF Transfer Portal not gonna go back and see if this has already been posted, but pretty good information
  3. This is exactly the situation Ohio State faced in 2007 when they played Florida.* Their offensive line turned into turnstiles, letting Florida’s defensive front eliminate any passing opportunities, and shutting down their run game. God, I enjoyed watching that game live. (Or as Gators came to call it, “THE 82 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE!”)
  4. A typical building will lose 1 to 2° per hour if it is 10° outside. Losing power for a half a day won’t cause problems. If they lose power for two days, they are pretty much fucked. That is when pipes will burst and people living in the building at 32° or less will have a huge problem. You cannot stay warm in your bedroom or your living room if the inside temperature is in the 30s. You will need to crowd people into a very small space - and make sure you have insulation between you and the floor as you try to sleep. You are going to have a lot of dead old people if the power out is last for more than a day or two.
  5. This woman’s voice is making me contemplate Seppuku
  6. Ahhhhhhhh…… Michigan coach needs to ask them again why they loved playing football as a kid.
  7. blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah Texas ball
  8. Who could’ve thought that the quarterback would run again?
  9. Just be glad you’re not facing Wisconsin.
  10. Can we rush the passer in this game? Because that would be good going forward.
  11. Well, Prophet Bluto was correct. Niedermeyer’s men did wind up fragging him.
  12. You are entirely correct that Russia, as a thing, has always been and will always be an outcast from civilized nations who have largely forsaken the, “ I don’t give a shit about your territorial borders - if you have something I want, I will take it by force” philosophy. With Russia, it is a feature, not a bug. it’s military and economy and institutions need to be ground down and destroyed to the point where they finally understand that they will only be able to eat a potato in a room with heat in the winter, unless they give up their nukes. I am not saying they will give up their nukes, but I am saying that many will be starving in the cold for decades because they won’t. And sitting right next to Russia will be Ukraine - a nation that gave up its nuclear weapons and embraced what western civilization could bring. Ukraine will arise as a regional power, a direct contrast to the starving and impoverished nation shitting in cold out houses right across the border. The leaders in the vertical of power will never give up their nukes so long as they are in power. it appears very likely that they will not be in power for long. But we still have not wrapped our heads around how truly fucked Russia is. Their economy is destroyed. We tend to forget that the now-broke government is currently unable to make payments to regional governments to cover the most basic necessities for its citizen. And Moscow does not care if the regions from which it sucked the minority meat soldiers all starve this winter. Manufacturing is dead. Transportation is dead. Since they’ve turned to a war economy, all private Enterprises not related to the war effort have mostly ceased. And the most important tell that I have read is that Russia’s largest state run and backed defense industry companies are all deeply in the red - this despite the government ostensibly propping up those companies. They will have to come up with a word more powerful than recession for what Russia is about to enter into for the next many decades. Post World War I Germany is not even a good template, as it was far easier for Germany, a much smaller country than Russia, to re-emerge as a strong economy after a few decades. Russia’s vast size and disparate populations will present an almost impossible logistical nightmare to an economy trying to return. And when Germany failed, at least the victorious allies (with small exception) did not divide Germany among the victors. it is incomprehensible to me that China would not seize large sections of valuable Russian territory in the east. China has never abandoned its claims to Russian territory. This last thing is the most frightening scenario to me and the greatest chance of an actual nuclear confrontation. if Russia somehow revolted against Putin and reclaimed their government today - nothing about that effort will prevent the ruinous future that they will be facing - nor will it prevent the decades of poverty and the loss of basic services for its citizens. The Ukrainians have already destroyed Russia. That is a fait accomple The only remaining issue is what damage Ukraine (and the world) will suffer from its death throes..
  13. My short haired fox hound does not like “feels like 26”
  14. I can’t think of any reason, but this is probably the thread to put it in
  15. So - like the end of the college football season at Kyle Field?
