I’ll bet you a dollar that this guy shows up on Election Day and votes Trump without hesitation. Maybe. Hopefully. I just think that group has been so brainwashed that Democrats = evil that they’ll rationalize pretty much anything.

What makes you think this will cost him any evangelical votes?

Why does every 53-man roster prediction include Schoonmaker as a given? Just because he was a second round pick? Has he done anything at all to earn that kind of benefit of the doubt?

Don’t see what it has to do with recruiting, but I am ready to run through a brick wall now. That shot of Johntay celebrating while the ball is still in the air to X is great.

Cool list but also fuck David Frum

I thought they all died or something

I'll go on record as being pretty surprised that they brought in THREE top transfer WR this past cycle. Seems like two would have been plenty. We've got a lot of resources committed and a lot of mouths to feed now. The flip side is that they didn't know yet what they had with Wingo and my conspiracy theory based on nothing is that Moore was a quiet transfer risk for a while. Also, Sark just really fucking loves wide receivers. Like I hinted at in my last post, I'm kind of wondering if "bad motherfuckers at EDGE, steady stream of warm (big) bodies at DT" is a conscious choice they're making. In the NFL, I'm a Cowboys fan, and they appear to be trying a very similar strategy this season. Say what you will about the Cowboys but Mike Zimmer is no idiot when it comes to defense.

I read a blurb just yesterday that said that LT Overton has been looking great in fall practice for Bama. Found that pretty funny.

I get you. There are times when I share some of your mashed-potato-fucking tendencies, so I'm gonna respond to these one-by-one. "Easy" ain't the right word. It's fair to assume that Bond, Golden, and Bolden all game with significant NIL commitments attached. Clearly Sark has decided that it's going to be a point of emphasis for his offense to always have a stable of badasses at WR. Cook, Moore, and Wingo are all HS WR that are expected to contribute heavily this year. Lockett and Ffrench are right there with those guys in talent. Any lower-ranked HS WR we take (your Dubose/Livingstone types from last cycle) are probably guys that have interesting traits but are happy to develop and come with reasonable NIL asks. Ketch of all fucking people had a long post the other day that kind of addressed this. OL very rarely contribute early at a healthy program, unlike say WR. Our depth chart right now is such that we cannot allocate high 6 figures or more to a 5-star OL that may not see the field for 2 years. Supposedly we were willing to meet Fasusi's ask, but just got beat by OU in that recruitment. It happens. But the rest of these guys are developmental and that's OK. Like someone else said, I really like Mills's tape. He's a fucking brawler. Personally I hope we circle back to/stay in on Rogers. I'm on record as liking his tape as well. The thing about Williams is that the raw materials are superb, hence the rating. I tried to compare him to Overshown a few pages back, who was also a big safety that was reluctant to play LB at first. Now he's an NFL starter at LB. If you can convince Williams he's an LB eventually, you've got an NFL player. LSU and A&M really want the guy, too (witness the intensity of LSU's sour grapes over the last couple days). Strawman. Pretty much everyone here is concerned about this, dude. DT and DB are concerns 1A and 1B for the entire recruiting cycle, next highest concern isn't even on the chart. An optimistic viewpoint is that the current roster is set up to have badasses at EDGE and a rotating cast of warm bodies at DT and the coaching staff appears to be fine with that. Hence that's what's reflected in the recruiting class. We're also hoping that we can flip at least one badass this fall. Come join us over here at the Copeacabana Club. You smell like dick cheese and your post reads like it was written by a troglodyte after sitting through a remedial writing class at ousux. How's that? Happy Friday.

My team paying players is just how it's done these days. Your team paying players stinks to high heavens.

Not exactly what you mean, but my assumption is that Cruz thinks if he kisses the ring enough, he can get Clarence Thomas's seat during a 2nd Trump administration.

Biden won Arizona and Georgia by around 10k votes each - 0.31% and 0.24% margins respectively. There are no undecideds to persuade, despite what CNN thinks. Trump insulting his own voters isn't going to change their minds, but it might blunt their enthusiasm, which might cause them to stay home. And every little bit counts.

He's a sixth-year senior so it's safe to assume he's all business. He's here to get 20 carries, bust his ass on special teams, and get in front of a lot of NFL personnel at pro day. I like the pick up a lot given the current make up of our RB room.

Is Demarvion Overshown a decent comp for Williams? IIRC, he was also a big safety that wasn't super enthused about playing LB at first.

The Landing has all the grades here: https://houstonlanding.org/houston-isd-released-its-projected-accountability-grades-see-how-each-school-scored/ This is good. Improvement is good. Certainly better than the alternative. The caveat of course is that TEA ratings are heavily based on standardized test scores, and Miles's NES system is designed to....improve standardized test scores.

Cutting edge analysis, I know.

I can't see a world in which Trump wins one of WI/MI/PA but loses at least one of NV/AZ/GA. If he grabs a midwestern state, he's already gotten the sun belt states. NC is fool's gold in my opinion. Not necessary anyway. I wouldn't waste time there if I was the Dems, unless they're just bored or something. What post was the CNN video? I miss a lot of shit in these threads because my work network blocks Twitter embeds.

I've been playing with 270toWin this morning and it seems to me like it all comes down to WI, MI, and PA. If Kamala wins those three, she wins. If Trump wins one (or more) of them, he wins.

Fox News: Tim Walz is racist against bald people. I'M OFFENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Derry Girls is funny shit, made even funnier by the accents and slang. I’m going to start calling my kids wains. Lots of great characters but I think my favorite is the dad.

Too soon

Dinosaurs would be cool. A camera at a busy water hole about 70 million years ago would really clear up a lot for paleontologists. I've always thought it'd be really interesting to show someone like Thomas Jefferson a working smart phone. No internet of course, but just showing him Angry Birds or whatever would blow his mind. Only downside is he'd start asking you how it works and you'd have to just be like "fuck if I know, Tommy". The inspiration for this thread was reading an article about Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. Thought to be one of the earliest human settlements, but with tons of unknowns. What were the structures used for? Did people make settlements then start farming, or did they start farming and then coalesce into settlements? So, so much that we'll probably never know definitively.

Am I seeing it correctly that I can't buy an official Harris/Walz t-shirt until September? What is the fucking impediment to printing them up right now? Shit, they might as well wait to ship em out until November. That gives us at least a whole day to wear them before the election!

1) Sure. Invalid requests get a PC LOAD LETTER error and you can try again. But that opens up a loophole that @Prepuce of Doom covers below. 2) I dunno, I guess. I wrote this sitting on my couch, it's not a doctoral thesis. New rule - everyone can bring something back except UT_OB1. He can only look. 3) Tennessee Valley Authority? I don't see a rule violation there. Yep, you could gain a lot of information before you ever go anywhere. Start with crazy hyperspecific stuff and work your way backwards. Out of bounds and uncalled for. I'm going to program your machine to send you to the location of the single stinkiest fart in the history of the human species and you'll just have to bask in it for an hour. Always Yeah I think so. I'm not going to try to contemplate the implications of dual Farrah Fawcetts.

Pretty much. Personally I think my answer would be the future, but not the far future. Say year 4000 or so. Manhattan island. Just out of pure curiosity. A shitload is gonna change in 2000 years. Will humans even be around. Could also grab whatever technology you could see and bring it back to try to reverse engineer.
