I’ll give it three weeks until they can’t take the ridicule anymore and memory hole this video.

Miami looks like a team that hasn’t practiced in about 4 months.

First statement on the aggy commercial: ”We’re not weird.”

This morning the Houston Heights received its first real rain since June? July? I don’t know. But it was glorious. I can’t wait to complain about mosquitoes.

There appears to be a small but intense storm cell moving towards central Houston. Hope is a dangerous thing.

7 points halfway through the 3rd was probably not what they imagined when they hired Garrett Riley.

This is definitely on point. For a leader who is as obsessed about projecting an image of absolute power as Putin, it’s a bit humiliating to host Kim and beg for military support.

Based on everything I have read there is no reason to believe that the same rate of attrition would occur all the way to Azov. Breaking through the 1st/2nd defensive lines opens it up for a thunder run all the way to the sea.

Houston is the last major city in Texas without any rain for the entire summer. Really hoping that ends tomorrow but not holding my breath.

It would be bad juju to NOT talk shit about someone losing to Texas State.

How will the remaining teams play the victim card they’re so used to pulling re: Texas? Will they complain about the evil empire in Boulder? Or maybe Provo and their unfair divine advantage?

Utah and Colorado on track to dominate the conference starting next year. I don’t think you can compare Tech to a team that typically wins a lot of games.

Aranda should have taken a better job when he had the chance.

Murphy throws a better ball than Ewers.

Either a shoulder or collarbone injury.

Giving that half an F on offense might be generous.

Rice is selling out to stop the run. Blitzing LB and safeties. Somehow our genius OC continues our decade or longer streak of coaches who refuse to throw slant routes.

Ford is incredible in pass coverage.

Brooks is our best RB. He needs 12-15 carries a game.

They’re really running the mullet transformation story for a second time in the first quarter? Going to be a long season.

He was a great Longhorn. Glad to see he’s found what seems like a more stable landing spot.

Checking this thread from Houston.

For this reason, the military leadership of Ukraine postponed the counteroffensive for as long as it could. It is noted that the beginning of the counteroffensive in June was "disastrous". The media reported that two brigades trained in the West lost many people and equipment in minefields. After that, the original plans were adjusted. According to the source of the General Staff, since then Ukraine has made a priority on preserving the army. According to The Economist, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have made significant advancements on the southern front and may have managed to get past enough minefields to reach the first of the three lines of Russian defence, but after two and a half months, Ukraine is still far from achieving its strategic objective of approaching the Sea of Azov and closing Russia's land route to the Crimea. It’s pretty shitty that we (NATO as a whole) promise XX of a certain weapon system, deliver 20% of that number in double the time, and get upset that the Ukrainians aren’t driving this equipment full speed into minefields.

I am by no means an expert on these weapon systems, but my understanding was that the F16 provides a response to one of the most effective tactics Russia has employed during the counteroffensive - the use of low-flying KA52 helicopters to destroy Ukrainian armor. The helicopters fly lower than the effective floor of air defense systems and strike from 10+ km away to eliminate the threat of MANPADS. Fighter jets can be scrambled, fly similarly low, and strike back with air to air missiles.

Even though we’re theoretically a lot closer to the end of this than the beginning, why does it feel more hopeless than ever?
