  1. He doesn't have an axe to grind the way the first manager does, and hasn't exactly thrown him under the bus, renounced his friendship, or withdrawn his support for Platner's candidacy. There will be plenty of qualified options a week from now after this election cycle concludes. The dude is still packing venues all over Maine.
  2. Platner? I don't see him dropping out unless a major scandal comes out. The Reddit stuff didn't hurt him at all, and Tattoogate seems not to have any traction in Maine even if it has damped the support he'd had from small-amount donors from out of state. His candidacy and the "scandals" have been fascinating because it's rare when the most annoying tankies (people who if they vote at all vote Green Party) and the most annoying BlueSky libs (mostly Zionists) are trying to achieve the same thing but for different reasons.
  3. Because most of the people here will not bother to look into it, and assume the worst, his second campaign manager is expecting a baby and can't handle the long hours that the job would require. He definitely would miss Junior Day with the flu.
  4. this is a pretty dumb way to measure priorities. if you applied the exact same algorithm to the republicans the trans panic built into their platform probably would have a thousand percent increase if not more. For one moment, I wish these people would stop and think about why the term "hate" was seen as more necessary to use in 2024 compared to 2012.
  5. Blowing people out on a SeGaBaBa without your best ballhandler, your enforcer, and two backup bigs. They could be 5-0 for the first time in franchise history. They could win the IST.
  6. Yeah, about that: 1. Kamala Harris tried this. Nobody remembers her "opportunity economy" pitch? In case anyone forgot: 2. LMAO they are trying to say Medicare for All is unpopular? Where did they conduct this poll, the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce? 3. You're not convincing voters of shit, other than your own weakness and ineptitude. Step the fuck aside. 4. Once again, how is that any different from what Kamala Harris tried? 5. Who the fuck talks like this? Seriously, what actionable information are they even attempting to convey here? It sure as fuck looks like "talk a bigger talk about hating the elite, but don't actually do anything negative for the elite" It's a real mystery why nobody trusts the leadership of the party.
  7. Not even getting paid, either
  8. It's a factor in motivating many of these mass shootings, but only sometimes does it work as a shield.
  9. Not gonna click through, but I'm 99% sure it's a grift. James Carville?
  10. Just to expand a bit on this, one might point out that that this is the least safe country on the planet if you're concerned about mass shooters, and many mass shooters will not recognize white privilege nor will mass shooters necessarily avoid, in fact in many cases they will actively select, soft targets like a family- and child-friendly pumpkin patch. Good luck stopping an AR-15, tough guy.
  11. At least they weren't soy DEI seamen
  12. Doughy-ass motherfuckers LARPing as if it's the wild west. You're at a goddamned pumpkin patch. For children. In the safest country on the planet (for white people).
  13. I think it has a good shot at passing
  14. When I watched the replays at the time, and remember ESPN's production crew is ass so the angles are also ass, I didn't feel confident that there was a frame with indisputable "firm" ball control while the toe was inbound. So I was fully expecting it to be upheld.
  15. get out the vote (for Project Marvel propositions A and B)
  16. Just curious, was there any GOTV going on?
  17. Arch, bless his heart, has been a good soldier for Sark. He was recruited on the promise of getting experience running a pro-style offense, to improve his draft stock, and Sark is doing his best to live up to that end of the bargain. However, that goal is made impossible by pisspoor OL play and underperforming WRs who drop passes. As a result, the team plays its worst football when Sark is asking Arch to run a complex, pro-style offense without the necessary tools for it to work. The team has to be on the brink of collapse before Sark is desperate enough to simplify the playbook and let Arch run an offense that more closely fits his natural strengths. The needs of the team outweigh the Mannings' desire to mold Arch into a pro-style QB, which for the record I do believe he can become that. He just doesn't have enough time to sit in the pocket and find mismatches, and because that internal clock is so rushed, he's trying to think about too many things all at once which causes him not to perceive obvious things such as wide open receivers or opportunities to avoid imminent sacks by throwing the ball away. If Sark can finally accept that this team simply cannot execute these ridiculous ideas, we will get a lot more production out of Arch. If we can find linemen in the portal for next season, maybe these Sark playcalls will actually work and he will look like the genius he aspires to be. There's no shame in switching to a lighter bowling ball on the seventh frame, dude. I think it was the right call, but I didn't think the video was indisputable evidence. I was shocked they overturned it.
  18. Honestly, the SEC should review that and issue a targeting penalty. The player should be DQ'ed for the next game. I don't feel guilty at all about the Caldwell end zone incompletion call being overturned.
  19. To go down 5 late in the game after having had a lead of 26, is precisely the sort of game these Spurs would have been unable to win in previous seasons. Didn't have Fox, Sochan, or Kornet. These guys have bought in and are stepping up. Harper should be on that Kia rookie ladder, although it's a stacked year with Edgecombe, Bailey, Tre, and Keith Van Flagg
  20. Democrats have worse approval ratings than Trump for a reason, and the reason isn't that they're too far to the Left.
  21. I'm still that guy, but yeah I'd rather watch from home. Hell, in the middle of a workday I was in the 995 txhsfb thread the other day and someone posted a livestream of Allen vs. Prosper, ended on a missed FG. Football at any level is fun to watch, so long as the teams are evenly matched. I concur with your opinion that some schools just don't have the juice for FBS. Idaho relegated itself down from FBS and is doing much better as a result. I'm not sure who at Sam and SFA believed they were ready to make the jump, but perhaps they accounted for the growing pains and these grotesque transitions were viewed as a necessary sacrifice in order to become the next Stark Vegas. Who the hell knows? Meanwhile you see UTRGV out of nothing (technically UT-Pan Am had a football program back in like the 1950's) having a successful inaugural season in a right-sized stadium for a 1M+ media market, and if the program continues to have on-field and financial success it would be a good candidate to make the jump to FBS, the way Texas State did. A place like San Marcos, it makes a lot of sense. Huntsville, not so much. A population center like Hidalgo County is closer to a San Marcos than a Huntsville. I'd like to see Sacramento State jump to FBS too. I'm rambling at this point, but to bring this back to your objection, I think with the trend of programs jumping from FCS to FBS you're gonna have a few swings and misses, but overall I haven't felt like it has eroded the quality of college football. You don't spend your day on 20 page threads slut shaming some woman because her husband's agent had the audacity to put out (or accept) feelers on a new job? Maybe you're not taking football seriously enough.
  22. They wouldn't show the games if we didn't watch 'em. Deep down, we're all Sickos and yes we are invested when it's midnight, we post up at the Applebee's bar and see it's 25-23 with 3:17 left in 4th quarter between Central Hawai'i A&M and Billy Graham University, no timeouts remaining and you've got some Chilean theology major warming up his leg on the sidelines.
  23. Not to derail this thread with non-CR football talk, but in the not so distant future I think we are going to see the CFB equivalent of NIT and CBI tournaments. The beauty of bowl season is that each game is theoretically supposed to be an intriguing, even matchup. The beauty of a playoff is that if you're playing your best football at the end of the season, you can truly throw out the record book, settle things on the field, and achieve redemption even for the unforgivable sin of losing to Michigan. NIL in some ways helps to even the playing field, and in other ways makes true parity impossible because some programs clearly have greater financial resources than others. You will see perennial playoff teams, and you will see perennial bubble teams, and there's money to be made with two- and three-round tournaments consisting of those teams that are left out of CFP.
  24. If he's injured that probably seals his Heisman chances
