  1. I mean, stealing aggy’s entire staff was funny but I’m fairly certain that finding a spot for Tulo on Schloss’s staff was the dream scenario for every Longhorn fan when the rumors started.
  2. Given the theme of their other two announced hired, that P5 head coach is definitely David Pierce.
  3. Objectively hilarious that this photo exists.
  4. Don’t forget that when the news broke, they were trying to do this with Weiner and then Cain. Earley’s emergence as the “secret sauce” is simply process of elimination.
  5. I’ve seen coaches literally kill kids and not have former player parents get this mad. Genuinely, this reaction is one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever witnessed. Boo hoo, this coach led all of your children to the greatest athletic achievement of any of their lives but was sometimes kinda mean to them. Give me a break. I’d be mortified if I was any of these players, but instead they’re all just emboldened by the most pathetic fanbase in college sports. Disgraceful.
  6. “MLB interest” is my favorite tidbit. He will never be asked to elaborate on that claim when it obviously turns out to be bullshit, but he’ll keep repeating it because it makes them feel warm and fuzzy.
  7. If we got that Joe last night, this election would be over.
  8. "Come to aggy, where our players cry on Twitter if you are mean to them."
  9. This is the point where I would kindly ask my mother to shut the fuck up.
  10. I realize the answer is likely just "because aggy" but why do they think they are getting Earley back?
  11. I mean, it's way too early to be making any claims like this.
  12. So, to be clear, this 5'7, 155lb dude with eleven career extra base hits who is described as his own mother as having "unquestionable" speed and base running abilities and is a "spark plug is asked to bunt by his coach in a pitchers duel, it works and he ends up scoring.. and then the mom whines that coach isn't letting him play the way he excels?
  13. In all sincerity, anyone watching last night via a translator likely had a severely different experience than the rest of us.
  14. "As has been revealed over the past few days, Schloss doesn't care about his players" DIRECT QUOTE FROM THE SAME FUCKING INTERVIEW SHE IS REFERENCING:
  15. What the fuck happened to him last night?
  16. A .36% shift from 2020 would be enough to lose both Arizona and Georgia.
  17. I think the real revisionist history is to try and claim the dude last night is in any way comparable to this.
  18. You keep saying this, but it just flat out is not comparable. He was labeled as an old man and then he would come out and easily clear the hurdle. Biden 2020 was old in a "wise, old man" kind of way. Biden 2024 is old in a "will he make it to November?" kind of way. The reason for the panic last night is this is the first time he didn't clear the "old" hurdle. The mass "oh shit" reaction was not some coordinated messaging campaign, it's the visceral reaction of millions of people who have never once considered replacing Biden suddenly realizing the red button needs to be pushed. It's a big, big deal. Also, "he just needs to keep doing the day to day stuff" is a really weird request for someone with historically low approval ratings. Biden's key to victory was always to show he was the only candidate fit to be president. Last night did not do that, period.
  19. This is correct. Biden has his base, as does Trump. That is a given. Biden’s GOTV case (as it was in 2020) is that one of the candidates is clearly unfit for office, so vote for me. Last night painted a picture of two unfit candidates, and that is not a path to victory for Dems. It’s not fair, but it’s reality.
  20. This is honestly the best summation I’ve seen about why last night mattered. Y’all can dismiss the importance of a single debate, sure, but (fair or not) Biden’s age is now THE question regarding the debate. The immediate emotions of the debate may fade, but this question will remain.
  21. I love Joe. He makes the very shortlist of best presidents in my lifetime. Anyone trying to wave this off as just a “lost debate” is whistling past the graveyard. His core vulnerability is his age, and his performance validated and accentuated any and all criticisms in this arena. This is not an issue he can improve on or get coached up: he’s just old as fuck. There is a zero percent chance that the man on that stage tonight will win the election. I hate typing that sentence, but I am as certain of it as I have been of anything in politics. The American people are stupid but simple, and “too old to lead” is about as simple as it gets and takes minimal effort to reach this conclusion. I understand the arguments against replacing him, I’ve made them myself on this very site. But not doing anything will guarantee MAGA 2.0.
  22. What’s interesting is there is there is no real MAGA victory lap, as is usually the case after a debate. The entire discussion right now is centered around Biden, and how he does not provide a realistic alternative to Trump. Theoretically, this gives Dems a unique opportunity to capitalize, should they desire to grow a spine.
  23. Are you trying to tell me that the aggy 9.95ers were blowing smoke up everyone’s ass regarding candidates? Well, I never…
  24. There’s no way this could happen given the egos involved, but the correct move would be to replace him with someone that Fox hasn’t already spent years bashing. Sorry Kamala, Gavin, Pete, and Gretchen. They need someone comparatively unknown who can come in, deliver a few convincing speeches, dominate a debate, and doesn’t have a huge oppo file in the RNC archives. Someone like Wes Moore could probably pull it off.
