dang, @Sgt Hulk beat me by 6 minutes- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Wasn't even close to the first time I was wrong on the Internet, and not even the most egregious example. Somewhere out there there's a post I've made, on the internet, where I decried the direction Id Software went with Wolfenstein 3D, making overblown "tech demos" instead of "good gameplay" games like Commander Keen. It's hilariously bad in retrospect. BUT... the Chuck Strong Experience broke my "trust the corches!" nonsense for good. I was that guy from Mackovic up through Strong. Even now, while I like Sark and think the program is in the right direction, I'm going to calibrate my enthusiasm.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
One of the super powers I had in my career was the ability to sorta attach myself to a problem and chew at it until it was solved. This was very good for, say, incredibly hard to find bugs that had to be fixed, or writing new things that needed in-depth knowledge that no one, including me, had yet. But this is a terrible trait to have when you either get obsessed with something that isn't an issue the business is concerned with... and when getting into arguments with people on the Internet, whether right or wrong. I'm getting better at it, but still struggle. So on the one hand, I sympathize with Derka, and would be a hypocrite if I didn't. On the other hand, since I know what the answer is, and Derka knows what the answer is, I think less of him as a person because he refuses to do it.

Honestly... I think the NIL money flipping Banks was the first pebble in the recruiting avalanche. Simms (to rehash the old argument) was that guy under Brown; if we don't get Simms, we don't get... a huge number of recruits who eventually helped us win in '05. But when in the aftermath of the Sark era, I don't think we'll see it as Banks nor Ewers. We'll see it as Manning. At least Manning, for now, isn't getting the Simms treatment. Manning's going to make mistakes, though. And I'm not looking forward to what happens when he does.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
As if this was the first tangent in this thread... 🤣🤣🤣- Severely Disfunctional Coaches
I don't know if there's any new ground to cover here. In the days before NIL and the portal, coaches had a huge amount of power over kids' futures, and many successful coaches used that to drive their teams hard. Some of these guys were successful. Urban is a particularly awful example of this. I don't think very many coaches are like him, and I'm glad the era where a guy like that COULD be successful is over. The new reality is that coaches actually have to be good coaches to succeed. You have to be someone guys want to play for. Bob Stoops, Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Kirby Smart and Sark fit that mold. And if you don't agree with me, take a look at comments their former players have about them. They're ADORED by em. Meanwhile, we had two guys off the Meyer coaching tree... how'd that work out for us? Anyway, fuck Urban Meyer- Shall we talk about heavy music?

100%. One of many reasons I will never put him on ignore.- Bill Belichick Rides Again: Hired at North Carolina to build NIL NFL Factory
I'm not a trademark lawyer, but my understanding is that it's very, very difficult, if not impossible. https://charitylawyerblog.com/2024/01/29/navigating-trademarks-challenges-of-trademarking-commonplace-expressions/ So if she can demonstrate that she's taken the term Gold Digger to such an extreme that it's acquired a new, secondary meaning associated with her, then yes, she can. (Seems similar to the Fox News legal defense, when they successfully claimed that no reasonable viewer could expect anything on Fox News to be factual.)- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
And yet, when we discuss Simms, you conveniently ignore his two rushing TDs in a single game against OU. Double standard much?- Bill Belichick Rides Again: Hired at North Carolina to build NIL NFL Factory

Other than a couple of games, I'm finding a lot of these early-round women's matches unwatchable. At this level, feels like players should NOT be double-faulting or having so many unforced errors.- Is Amazon's War of the Worlds the worst movie ever made?
My son is trying to get me to watch this movie. Not because it is good, but because of how bad it is. It has a whopping 2% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's worse than it looks. Even the one positive review describes it as "certainly stupid." Even the audience Tomatometer, at 21%, the low number doesn't quite capture it, until you actually read the reviews. This is from a five-star audience review: "Ice Cube's War of The Worlds is a cinematic marvel-not in the traditional sense, but in that rare, awe-inspiring category of films so catastrophically misfired that they loop back around into a brand-new form of entertainment. It's less of a movie and more of an experience, something you endure with a mix of disbelief, laughter, and reluctant admiration for how boldly wrong every choice seems to be." This is one of those cases where I'm glad others watched it, so that I don't have to.- Andor

Hey, he had 2 TDs. They were rushing TDs, not passing TDs. But I don't think it's Simms' fault that they were rushing TDs, do you? See, I would wonder why the dumbfuck OC was calling rushing plays. 4 worst blowouts in TX-OU history for either side all had the same coaching staff leading them and several different QBs. You're pickin' and choosin' statistics to justify your hate boner and ignoring the ones that don't.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins

Oh, really? 2004: https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/242830201/texas-oklahoma Vince Young, 0 points total 2003: https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay/_/gameId/232840251 Chance Mock and Vince Young, 2 rushing TDs, 0 passing TDs 2002: https://stats.texassports.com/custompages/sports/m-footbl/archive/stats/02/101202.htm Simms ran for 2 TDs, and the only other TD we scored was a Rod Babers pick-six. 2010: https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/302750201/texas-oklahoma Squints throws 0 TDs. 2011: https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/312810251/oklahoma-texas Hey look, a single TD pass... from David Ash! Too bad Landry Jones threw 3, and they beat us by 38 that year. 2012: https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay/_/gameId/322870201 Case throws a single TD in garbage time as time expires in a blowout loss; David Ash throws 0. Wow, just look at all the times OU blew us out under Mack Brown, with all these different QBs. I'm beginning to see a pattern here; it's almost like it doesn't matter who the QB was, we just sucked ass against them under Mack! Golly. It's almost like the facts support my argument, and blow yours into the toilet like the kinda diarrhea you get after the all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. You're a dumbfuck with a hate boner. Just admit you don't like the guy because you're a shitty human being, and stop pretending you have reasons to justify it.

Sam was the 21st century James Brown -- an inspiring leader on some shitty teams with an arrogant "offensive minded" coach.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
