  2. Derrian Brown is easily faster than Emmitt Smith, taller than Darren Sproles, and more alive than Jim Thorpe. I will not back off of any of those comparisons.

  3. In short, yes. Because that's how people with brains look at everything. Is water good, or is it bad? If you are walking through the desert and are thirsty, a heavy rainstorm is a god-send. If you are sitting in a downstream arroyo during that same rainstorm, that rain will kill you. Same rain. Different places and contexts, wildly different values. There are places along the border where a physical barrier of some sort makes sense, when considering all of the values: will it actually prevent crossings? What is the dollar cost to achieve that benefit? What is the human cost to achieve that benefit (that is, what does it do to American property owners)? What is the ecological cost to achieve that benefit? What is the diplomatic cost to achieve that benefit? If you don't analyze all of those factors, you're a dumbfuck. I could build the Great Wall of China, 20 feet tall and 30 feet thick, through Big Bend State Park. It would cost billions. It would devastate an important natural area. It would take away an incredible public resource -- a great State Park on the banks of a natural river -- from the people of Texas. It would mostly stand as a big middle finger to our largest trading partner. And it would do jack shit to prevent border crossings. Seriously, it would prevent nothing more than a handful. And when you layer on the fact that the whole world knows that the REAL reason I want it is as a personal Brisketexan monument/vanity project, it's jackassery at its finest. Under THOSE circumstances, yes, a fucking moronic, wasteful, assinine wall is immoral. Barriers are not immoral...Rain is not an evil killer...Guns are not dangerous....in some circumstances. In others, literally the EXACT OPPOSITE is true. If your brain is incapable of grasping that "complexity," then the problem is yours, not ours. Jesus. It's not the existence of Trump excusers and apologists that pisses me off. It's that their thinking on everything is so goddamned childlike and rudimentary that simply responding to them lowers the intellectual level of national discourse by 90%.

  5. We all know what a joke the SEC's non-conference scheduling is. We discuss it a lot in general terms. The standard issue non-conf is 1 FCS school, 2 (usually lower tier) G5s and one P5 school. In 2018, every school but LSU played an FCS team; Florida and Tennessee played 2 FCS schools. And of course the FCS and G5 games are pretty much all home games as well. That puts 3 automatic wins on the schedule every year. The SEC sure dominated the Sunbelt and Southland conferences. When you look at the records of the SEC against only P5 competition, the picture changes radically. I went through the SEC schedules for this year. Even knowing what I would find, I was surprised by how bad it actually was. The only reason I'd heard of many of these schools was basketball. Northwestern State? Liberty? Charleston Southern (was just Charleston already taken)? Coastal Carolina? I present SEC non-conference scheduling in its full, putrid glory: Alabama: 11-1 adjusted vs P5 (14-1 with cupcakes); excluded the Citadel, AR St, ULa LSU: 6-3 adjusted (10-3); SE LA, LA Tech, Rice, UCF aggy: 6-4 (9-4); NW St, LA Monroe, UAB MSU: 5-5 (8-5); SFA(FCS), U LA(G), La Tech(G) Auburn: 5-5 (8-5); AL St(FCS), S Miss(G), Liberty Ole Miss: 2-7 (5-7); SIU(FCS), Kent St(G), La Monroe(G) Arkansas: 0-8 (2-10); Tulsa(G), E. IL(FCS), CSU(G), UNT(G) Georgia: 8-3 (11-3); Austin Peay(FCS), MTSU(G), Umass(G) Florida: 7-3 (10-3); Charleston Southern(FBS), CSU(G), Idaho(FCS) Kentucky: 7-3 (10-3); C Mich(G), Murray St(FCS), MTSU(G) Mizzou: 5-5 (8-5); TN Martin(FCS), WY(G), Memphis(G) S. Carolina: 4-6 (7-6); Coastal Carolina(G), Chatanooga(FCS), Akron(G) Vanderbilt: 3-7 (6-7); MTSU(G), NV(G), TN St(FCS) Tennessee: 2-7 (5-7); E. TN St(FCS), UTEP(G), Charlotte(FCS)

  8. I say keep losses on there if they lose to an FCS or G5 team. So Arkansas is 0-10 instead of 0-8. No credit for wins, full credit for losses.

  15. And his real name is "Tathan." HAHAHAHAHA! This transfer portal stuff is going to unleash madness on NCAA football. It's a millenial's wet dream, though: you don't earn the starter's job, you just transfer to where there's less competition.

  16. The operating principle is this: literally no one believes that any thought has been given to the effectiveness of Trump's proposal. No one has conducted any study. No one has compared and contrasted expected rates of drugs/illegal immigrants/whatever over various options. No one has discussed why this particular type of illegal entry is the worst one that we need to be stopping as opposed, say, to visa overstays. So it is transparent why the wall is the the thing he wants. It is because he wants what the wall symbolizes. The barriers that are already there weren't put up as symbols. They were put up because they made the most sense.

  24. I'm thinking aggy should run away to the Simulated Electronic Conference where they can be perennial national championships and pat each other on the back because they're the best fans in the universe. I doubt too many people would be sad to see them go from the other SEC.

  25. Brown is a scheme fit. He's going to be very successful in this offense. Is there not a fucking mod specifically for the recruiting board yet? Between you stupid motherfuckers talking religion/dead languages and the idiot hordes that wandered over from the football board after the UGA thumping... release the fucking ban hammer and give it to a decent regular poster from this board so that we can get rid of this tripe.

  26. This doesn't even come close to documenting the SEC scheduling advantage. I've detailed it in some other threads, but it's a proven formula that inflates their finals records and guarantees them better rankings, which in turn gets them better bowl games, which equals more money. 1. High Pre-Season Rankings and Rank as many teams ranked pre-season as possible. A. Done with relationship with ESPN, writer affiliations, etc. B. Circle Logic (Auburn should be ranked #23 because SEC, SEC is good because of ranked teams) 2. Schedule "Big Game" early. Don't Lose Late A. Schedule a marquee OOC game (aka LSU v Texas) early in the year. If no big P5 scheduled, play conference game early (Alabama v South Carolina 9/14/2019) B. If you win, huge win vs ranked team. If you lose, early losses sting less than losing late. (remember how no one cared we lost to Maryland late. no on talked about it). And early loss to then ranked #23 Auburn looks less like a big deal even if Auburn craters and finishes 6-6. Why was Auburn ranked #23 again? See bullet point #1 3. Only 8 conference games. A. Half the conference will have 1 less loss. Mostly the 9th game is replaced by an FCS team. That means instead of 7 losses for the SEC, they replace them with 7 wins. Why is A&M or Missouri ranked at 8-4 at the end of the season? Oh, they are 8-4 instead of 7-5. Instead of playing a conference opponent, they played Georgia Southern. Magic, the SEC gets more Bowl money

  30. Jalen Green was 247's number one rated player in the State of Texas, and was ranked 47 in the composite. Watson is an exciting prospect, but he's in the mid-100s in the composite and is ranked as the number 266 player by 247 (although it sounds like he's going to jump up a bit in the final rankings) Green was a more touted prospect than Watson be nearly everyone. I'm not saying Watson won't be a better player than Green. But we do this every year with new recruits, penciling them in to start over guys that were more highly ranked and have already been in the system for a year or two. Recency bias.

  33. Seconded. I’ve said this before, but when I was getting a divorce I hired Hornian and he did an amazing job. He got me custody of 5 kids, even though we only have 2. He got me full time custody, my wife doesn’t even get visitation. Instead she has to spend her visitation hours washing my car. I got to keep 100% of our assets and somehow I now own her parents’ house? Also I got to keep the dog and she got the cat, but after the decreee was final, Hornian killed the cat. Cant recommend I’m enough.
