  1. How stupid are these people
  2. And he's likely to be a frontrunner for 2026 Senate since Mitch is not running for re-election
  3. Yeah, Jones can get into foul trouble, which is one reason why I like her more against FSU than Bama, because FSU doesn't have a lot of bigs. But we have so much post depth - Gaston was a fucking champ in the way she guarded Lee. I also don't think Jones had a single foul in 24 minutes against Crooks. NCST has a 6'5 center (River Baldwin) and can also play 6'2 Maddie Cox and 6'3 Mimi Collins Utah has 6'2 Alyssa Pili who is hard to defend Stanford, of course, has Brink And I did not realize Izzy Palmer plays at Utah (2019-2020 at Texas)
  4. Oh yeah, I want a resolution. But god damn it's horrifying / wild
  5. Same. But I don't see him winning AZ. Those McCain Republicans detest him. They don't mind Biden. It's funny, because Emerson is pushing out all these polls showing Senate Dems doing really well but the same samples somehow have Trump beating Biden as well. This country doesn't ticket split like that anymore outside of "big personal brands" like Brown, Tester, Manchin, Collins. You can pretty much guarantee that if Baldwin (WI), Slotkin (MI), Casey (PA), Rosen (NV) and Gallego (AZ) win their states, Biden won them as well. The only potential ticket splitting would be NC Gov - I can 100% see Stein beating Robinson and Trump beating Biden and MT/OH Senate.
  6. Yep, if I had to guess: Biden wins AZ, NV, WI, MI, PA, NH, NE-02 Trump wins NC I'm 50/50 on Georgia Marist had some polls (grain of salt) last night with Trump up less than 5 in both GA and NC. I do recall in 2020 and 2022 that the Georgia polls were not good for Dems early and then flipped the closer to the election we got. Because in March 2020, I was not counting on Georgia being a blue state in November.
  7. I don't remember who said it, but Beard's style was a lot of like Bennett's style - the defense chokes you to death and if you're down 10, it feels like you're down 30. But on the flipside, those slow paced offensive teams .... if they're down 10, a comeback is extremely difficult. That UMBC game, it was tied at the half. UMBC went on a 7-2 run out of the half, and then a 6-2 run leading up to the under-16 TO. Boom - tied to an 11 point deficit. Then a 10-4 UMBC run basically put that game away. UVA got as close as 12 points and that was it.
  8. So why are sluggers batting earlier? There is a very strong correlation between batting order and run production. Statistics show that the #2 hitters get between 40-50 extra plate appearances per season than the player batting third or fourth. Statistics further demonstrate that more of the at-bats from the #2 spot come with fewer than two outs. The conclusion based on these statistical nuggets is that you are wasting your best hitter if you put them in the 3 or 4 spot in your lineup. Batting your best hitter #2 places them in more positions to get on base and drive in runs over the course of the season. How many times have you been watching your favorite team with them trailing late in a game, and you were hoping to get to the #3 or #4 hitter (positions traditionally saved for productive hitters) so they could get a big hit and tie it up? If the best hitter was hitting second, they would get an At Bat sooner.
  9. Between Dune and Silo, she's currently a fave for me. She's great
  10. And not at all related to the Noah Hawley Hulu show?
  11. That's a really good question for both rowing and beach volleyball.
  12. I like how they re-used the creepy background noise from the Prometheus trailer in this one too.
  13. Absolutely makes sense. Why waste a year if you can't compete in the NCAAs at the end of the season.
  14. Booker doesn't get half the hype of Hidalgo or Fulwiley or JuJu. She plays like it pisses her off.
  15. CDC’s people have been lacking. No scoring, scores transposed, live stats links going to the wrong games. wtf is happening over there
  16. I was also 15, I didn't really give a flying fuck about politics. 2 years later (2006 when the Dems took the House and Nancy became the first female Speaker) did I suddenly become interested. (Because it was a month before my 18th birthday and I couldn't vote in the 2006 midterms)
  17. Constellation is just fucking horrifying. It’s fucking my brain up
  18. I was too young and naive to celebrate Reagan’s death. I cannot wait to celebrate Trump’s.
  19. I mean I once ran through the Charlotte airport for a connection. That’s all I’ve got
  20. Then what have I been eating on Tuesdays???
  21. Lauren herself is the human version of the Dune popcorn bucket.
