  1. People are not watching all of the games. But we the fans shouldn’t be able to see more penalties or spot issues, or other infractions/fumbles more than the 7 professionals on the field.
  2. It was always there.
  3. Why spike it? How fucking stupid is stoops?
  4. Loser is a bit of a lost cause, but with a devil’s haircut.
  5. I wonder if Traylor still thinks this game is closer than the score?
  6. This is known.
  7. Haha keep pressuring him traylor! Haha.
  8. Not sure about that. Still better than Houston.
  9. It is what they do at that trash program. And as long as the officials let it go, they will continue to do it. Easy fix is to remove the player from the drive.
  10. The injured and replacement left tackle got away with so much obvious holding and jersey pulling on that drive.
  11. Beginning? They have always been a mid-major OSU, TTU, KSU caliber program.
  12. I feel like you are confessing something else here.
  13. Definitions are academic. They know what those things are without knowing what those things are.
  14. rules and decorum for thee, not for me!
  15. Scheduled.
  16. Index fund it. It’s not like he is 75 yrs old.
  17. No mention of Soul Man?
  18. They may not want to surrender to Ukrainians out of fear of the unknown. But to play the role of a pawn and carry out the orders of a brutal regime is to be complicit. They may not have a lot of legal freedoms but they have options.
  19. Not necessarily. Some of us grow up and differentiate from the society around us and our own familiar networks. My family strongly identified as Republicans most here know I am not. I listened a little to the talk radio hate machine and saw it for what it was. I do not derive my morality from external sources and I need no fear of eternal punishment to act as guardrails. So no, if I grew up there, I would not have listened to the order to rape the children in front of the mom. Yeah, it might suck for pawns in the system, but let's be real. They are complicit. They allow their government to exist. Even when handed weapons, they allow their government to tell them where to point them. Just following orders was not a defense for the crimes of the Nazi's and it won't be one here. Each person is responsible for their actions. We could forgive a child soldier who had a gun to their head from pulling the trigger on another child. We cannot absolve an adult from doing the same.
  20. Considering what I expected this wasn't that egregious. I figured they would beat his ass with truncheons and taze him when he was unconscious. They just roughed him up a bit, and didn't even give him the head slam into the back roof of the cop car or a body slam. This was likely because of his fame/car he was driving/size. I learned a long time ago that motorcycle cops were dicks. And that the unhinged cop approaching the other car and taking charge, while the calmer cop backs off, it exactly what one should expect from our dysfunctional police force. The other-side of me kind of wanted the motorcycle dick to arrest him just for saying "bro" and "man" excessively. It is hard to be sympathetic to him though, IIRC he abused women and kids. Still, would prefer our cops to be better people, hire better people, and not try to "dominate" every situation.
  21. Kids killed/maimed by lawn darts < kids killed by cars. So let's do nothing.
  22. When you think about it they just really deep down want to be us. That they cannot just burns them up. Their school was a spin-off of ours, their football program is mired in perpetual mediocrity, and their academics while they have some elite talent, they just cannot accept and embrace their station. They celebrate their stolen valor identity and act as if they are on par with a true military academy while never understanding how pathetic that makes them. They cannot see someone else do well without trying to downplay it, copy it, or pretend they are somehow a part of it and they are divorced from reality because of it. This is why they hire bad coaches and hype them up, lose the best talent they get, and continuously look backwards to the good old days because they know there is not future success.
  23. already covered. Delete me
