I quietly am optimistic about November. The number of Trump endorsees that are losing does not gibe with his supposed popularity. This isn't being pointed out enough.
QuoteIn Utah, Republican Rep. John Curtis — who has been critical of Trump — beat out Trump's chosen candidate Trent Staggs to take over Mitt Romney's open Senate seat. Staggs lost to Curtis by 20 points, according to projected race calls from the Associated Press, compiled by The New York Times.
In South Carolina, a similar situation occurred: ultra-conservative pastor Mark Burns, who Trump endorsed on Truth Social in April, lost his House runoff race to Republican Sherri Biggs.And in Colorado, House hopeful and state GOP Chair Dave Williams, who the former president endorsed on Truth Social in March, got smoked by his rival, conservative commentator Jeff Crank — losing by 30 points, according to the Times.
The three losses are just the second, third, and fourth time that a Trump favorite has lost their race for a federal position this election cycle, Politico reported. The first instance happened earlier in June when Trump-endorsed New Jersey Senate candidate Christine Serrano Glassner lost by 7 points to real estate developer Curtis Bashaw, according to the Times.
There's two other candidates who might get added to Trump's list of failures.The race for Utah's second congressional district is still too close to call, with Trump-backed incumbent Rep. Celeste Maloy leading by just 3 points. And Virginia's Republican primary is also still too close to call, with Trump pick John McGuire less than one point ahead of his challenger. That race may result in a recount, MSNBC reported.

Yeah there was an LSU scrub trying to talk all this shit about the DKR game day experience in 2019.
Uhh bro we came close to beating your BEST.TEAM.EVAR with a team that went 8-4 the rest of the way.
No doubt we are apathetic from years of playing crap teams but we can still get plenty of hype.
The 'torture your opponent by climate control game," right? Poor honorable LSU lads littered the field that game with insufferable cramps.

As soon as all those played jumped in, they had to go with Earley. Just to salvage next year. It will bite them in the ass when they’re all gone and they can’t pony up the same mid six figure NILs to other players

Once these players learn they'll be under a staff of questionable developmental skills, it will be harder to recruit from HS and the Portal. They won't have enough NIL to make up for that. UT is going through that a bit with the new DL coach not having many skins on the wall to point to. Multiply that by the entire staff, and that's what will end up biting them in the ass.
However, once these guys are gone, so is Earley, I would bet.

It will be interesting to see if these players bitching about CC now change their tunes (and how) when their personal contracts come up for negotiation. If the CC era truly is here to stay and the revenue moves into a higher level, you know those players who have "given their all to keep the league going" will want their piece of the expanded pie. And that is fine, but will they give CC her due? Do they recognize that Caitlyn brings something new and fresh to the league that people have been needing, and in turn they try to cultivate more of whatever it is that's driving this groundswell change? Or do they try to get those fans to accept the old W, brushing this off as some flash in the pan?

Same here, but I'm also thrilled Galvan is returning. That kid has scrapper and leader in his aura.

I know Randolph in real life(have had a few beers with him) and he always laughs at how riled up aggy grads get because they can't handle the truth. Besides Mack and Leach from back in the day, no one else can get under the aggy's skin like Randolph Duke.
Joey Freshwater seems to be taking up the mantle from Leach. And he's doing a great job so far.

I have yet to see anyone explain the acceptable way to answer the question at the press conference.
"Thanks for the question. This will be my last game at Texas A&M, I will be accepting the Texas job tomorrow." - WHY IS HE MAKING A TOUGH NIGHT EVEN WORSE
"Tonight should be about the team and that is all I will discuss for now." - HE'S OBVIOUSLY HIDING SOMETHING, WHY ISN'T HE BEING HONEST
"No, I have no intention to pursue other opportunities" - LYING BASTARD
He was a little ruder than probably necessary (although understandable, given he just lost the CWS) but there's no acceptable answer to that question, given what was already transpiring behind the scenes.
I contend that Bohls had the story for several weeks and wanted to break it, but CDC told AAS to hold off. Bohls then took it to the Chronicle which leans more aggy and used it to ink a contract with them. If Z prick or any other Chronicle contributor had broke it, it wouldn't have gotten the attention that it did coming from Bohls. Schloss was probably more upset about it being leaked than the actual question.

They have more than enough grackles to suffice. Not crows, but close enough.

It’s also probably worth repeating (yet again), that these sacrificial lambs are a byproduct of absolutely terrible state party leadership. There is no one telling Allred, “hey man, you’re doing great work in Texas 32nd and we’re going to flip the house and give you the opportunity for a plum committee leadership position. Let’s let you simmer a bit more and then run for something state.”
He’s only 41 and clearly lacks the personal charisma to draw in voters. It need not be a career killer, however, if he’s continuing to build his resume and acquire chits for a future campaign. Who knows, maybe there was a deal made and the Biden campaign told him “you’re probably going to lose but we’ll get you a good role in the admin to run off for something in the future.”
The DNC played a very big part in tapping Allred. It wasn't so much state leadership.
2 hours ago, Pam Cummings said:It's almost as if he's a plant and not a serious candidate. Not even trying to be funny, I don't think most know who he is.
Roland was all over the state leading up to the primary. He logged like 8-10k miles in those last two months. I fully anticipated it would be a run off between he and Allred. Allred blew his doors off without even trying, which was truly surprising since Allred had no presence in the field. He blames that on Congress being in session and there's some logic to that. But since they got out of session, he's been AWOL as well.
I think the DNC and Allred are trying to appeal to those Rs and independents who just won't pull a lever for a "radical progressive" over Cruz. They are looking for that crossover vote and not going for the progressive one that Roland appealed to. And with the D's dismal turnout record in the past decade, DNC seems to be putting its money behind someone that doesn't come off as this great threat to go in and start demanding a bunch of change. This is why he does a lot of preaching about working across the aisle and bi-partisanship. Hoping to draw that cross-over vote. That's the only explanation I can come up with.
There are those who seem to think he sounds at times like Eric Johnson.

Really enjoyed this. But then I get into period pieces, finding it a decent way to learn a little about historic eras. And the delivery angle of the story was unique. A win on lots of levels.
