  1. Aside from the toilet, a shower is the only other place to trust a fart. Worst case, the solution is a wafflestomp away.
  2. Sliding doors moment. You could have been Pato del Vida. Which ironically makes the whole thing into an extended IQ test.
  3. Student loan reform/forgiveness should be paired with a program of low interest, potentially forgivable, loans to start small businesses, plus increased emphasis on community college and trade school funding to both keep overall costs down, and to grow our next generation of small businesses and trades as well. That would be extremely popular and pay huge dividends to help replenish our rapidly eroding middle class tax base.
  4. FYI in case you see her again later, they call themselves Diné. Navajo is what the Spanish called them.
  5. csb, but 4th and 18 against Kansas was the last time I was ever worried about whether VY would pull a miracle. Watched every game after that completely serene, knowing Vince wouldn't let us lose.

  7. We should collaborate. I just realized pterosaurs made chemtrails when they flew and that's why God said not to bring any on the Ark.
  8. Yes, but Saban is probably the only exception. If he came back, with big NIL support, there would be massive transfer interest. Plus, his current gig exposes him to teams and players all across the country, so he's got up to date info on all those potential transfers. Saban is going to stay retired, but if he did jump back into the right spot, he'd playing for titles by year 2, def by 3.
  9. I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if he took the Penn State job. I would certainly be looking to get out, but Penn State would be near last of my list. But that's based on personal and moral reasons. Neither Baylor, nor Penn State should be allowed to have football teams. Setting that aside, it's a great job. Western PA and Penn State support is very cult-like and most of the same advantages aggy has, with some of the same disadvantages. He's never going to be able to eat at a restaurant without being recognized either place, but talking to strangers is a bit different in the Northeast. Penn State fans are more likely to leave him alone, or accept quick pleasantries. Smaller recruiting pool locally, but no other in-state school, or really NE school period. Available talent would probably be an upgrade, especially since he takes his current recruiting contacts with him. Ample money for NIL and 2 big cities in the state. Both NFL, but no other college football option vs them being best case #2 in TX, even if running at their peak.
  10. We'll find out this offseason if Elko went back to aggy for their strange, or if he knew from his previous experience that the other resources were there and he could win in spite of their strange. I think it's the latter.

    A&M at LSU on ABC

    The irresistible force meets the unsinkable object.
  12. Final straw was a speech at a high dollar donor event. He was plastered and could barely speak. Couldn't hide it anymore after that.
  13. If it isn't something like that, it's unfathomable incompetence for the coaches to allow someone worse than Stroh to eat up 4 years of scholarship and then come in to the season intending him to be the starter anyway.
  14. Opiner obviously oblivious of on-season outcomes.
  15. If they want to run as a Dem though, it'd be a good idea to cover up the Ivermectin tattoo.

    I'm not either, but I am if he's not willing to make major changes. Sark is in year 5 with a hefty team payroll, hand picked QB and OL coaches and his offense is dreadful. Everyone can see it, but Sark. If he's going to be willfully ignorant, he's simply not the guy. Might as well start the countdown. Sark has known for years we'd be replacing most of our line this season and we have the ability and resources, to acquire experienced, good linemen from the portal. Sark and Flood chose to roll with this group of elephants on roller skates. What really sucks about it is, there will never be a better time to sell the TX program to portal OL. 4/5 out of OL drafted. Can sell playing time and immediate NFL prospects. Sark and Flood made it much worse though. They chose to give Neto first team reps at LG until right before the season started, then swapped in Connor Stroh at the last minute, who immediately, and repeatedly, showed he's not remotely capable of playing at this level right now. Then they left that poor bastard out there as a human turnstile, giving the defense a free run at our M.A.S.H unit RB room and our inexperienced franchise QB. Then, despite everyone knowing Stroh was going to be a huge disaster at Florida, they let it happen, before throwing Brooks out at a position he doesn't even play, risking the confidence of a good tackle prospect. Is it scheme, talent, development, roster management/players too young? Doesn't matter, all of those are Sark's responsibility and should not be an issue in year 5. If/when Sark gets fired, we're going to look back on his OL roster management this year as a season long version of Charlie deciding to kick off both halves.
  17. Banks is a fucking clown.
  18. It's not incompetence. It's corruption.
  19. Hope the confidence from this carries over and he starts fielding more of the punts he's been letting roll.
  20. Taaffe having himself a game.
  21. He should try whispering something different.
  22. D-Line was good under Baker last year. Got whupped today, but I don't think he belongs on the same list yet. I'd move Scott to yellow and judge him over the rest of the season. I'd also put Orphey and Jackson in yellow as well. Banks, Flood and Milwee all have well established track records and should be replaced, regardless of how the rest of the season goes.
  23. But it also sounds like he had very specific, pointed, and personal animus with Mormon/LDS beliefs, history and practices as well. Unfortunately, millions of Americans believe similarly.
  24. The family and social pressure, especially in Utah, is enormous, but she also would have been conditioned since earliest childhood that her full eternal salvation and exaltation requires her to marry in the temple, preferably to a returned missionary. Lots of Mormon girls will flirt to convert, but the vast majority will eventually insist on full conversion and temple marriage. Here's a quote from October 2023 by Russel M. Nelson, the recently deceased President, Prophet, Seer and Revelator. He is addressing the entire church at general conference (twice a year, instead of church, the Utah authorities give talks that are broadcast worldwide in church and over tv/cable). https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2023/10/51nelson?lang=eng Without a temple marriage, you are no longer married in Heaven. You don't get your own worlds to create and rule as a god/goddess without a temple marriage. Both husband and wife have to have active temple recommendations and maintain them. That requires not just membership, but full compliance with all church rules, serving in non-paid church callings and paying 10% tithing among other things. It's enough pressure to break up MANY otherwise healthy relationships. If the reported info about a Mormon ex is true, it's a likely factor.
