I20 from Texas to Alabama is another terrible drive. Nothing but pine trees for a few hundred miles. We did that one during the height of covid to avoid flying.
I posted this in the old thread about running back.
You can steal a good starting rb from a shitty team or even a good one. Ohio St and Ole Miss have both done it. Michigan poached Justice Haynes from Alabama after Saban retired. There will be options and I think spending a lot for a good one would be a smart move this particular portal period. This team needs an elite back to take it to another level. I like Wisner a lot because he runs hard and is shifty as fuck, but he just doesn't have the top end speed to be a great back.
When my wife was a poor college student, she used to take the bus to go back home to visit her parents and friends. From her terrible stories, you couldn't pay me to take one. I can't imagine they've gotten any better over the last 20 years.
If you have the time, I would watch a few more. I can't hear worth a shit either, but you start to understand what they're saying after a few episodes. It's kind of like the scene where Antonio Banderas starts figuring out Norse in the The 13th Warrior.
LSU is a special case because there's only ever been one major football program in the State and most of the kids grow up wanting to play there along with everyone in the State rooting for them. In the world before NIL, that was a huge advantage.
The wr room should be good next year. It would take a really good player to crack the starting rotation. I wouldn't say no, but I would rank OL, WR and DB above it on the priority list.
I don't know if it will work, but I agree the current version of the party aren't going to be the ones who fix anything. I think it will take more pain before the country turns to AOC or someone like her on the national level.
They hoped they could co-opt Trump because of how greedy he is and it largely worked for his first term. AOC isn't motivated by money though and Democrats love tearing down their own candidates almost as much as Republicans do.
I'm not even sure that would do it. Her views on campaign finance are anathema to both parties. She's in the Roosevelt mold (both TR and FDR) where everyone in power is going to hate her until she has the Presidency.
I couldn't even understand what the fuck they were saying for the first few episodes. You really do have to watch most of the first season in this case I think.
