  1. I don't believe for a second any of these GQP concession tweets have a single iota of sincerity. A thin veneer of lies because they are hoping that they can attract just enough of independent voters next time after the party throws Trump election stealing narrative overboard. Fuck all of them.
  2. I only knew about it because there was some hairbrained GQP scheme to make Trump the speaker with plans to ascend him to the presidency after Biden impeachment and then who knows what with the VEEP.
  3. The reverse could also be a factor. Pro-choice Republics (probably a lot of suburban white women in these districts) feeling its safe to vote GQP as they don't feel abortion rights in their state are at risk and are not yet sufficiently scared that these fucks are coming for it federally at some point.
  4. I'm leaning to hoping for a Republican House with less than 5 seat advantage. The House Freedom Caucus is foaming at the mouth to exert it's influence and you'll have the election denialists and conspiracy theorists microphone's amplified for all to see. 25 mini-Trumpkin House members competing to out-stupid each other. If meaningful federal voting rights legislation can be passed it's worth dealing with whatever blowback the party receives elsewhere for doing "nothing" with full control of the legislative branch. If on the other hand they prioritize enshrining abortion rights and the economy slips further 2024 could give Trump the platform to win. If Democrats somehow retain the House, fix voting rights first and tackle abortion rights later, not the other way around, even though the electorate is saying abortion is far more important.
  5. What meaningful legislation can be passed with a slim D majority in the House and a castrated emperor Manchin? Can we pass federal voting rights? Or would it be better politically long term to lose the House and let the Rs conduct shitshow investigations that put in full view for the middle how out of touch these fucks are with reality and maybe even gift us Biden impeachment hearings?
  6. I'm not sure if I'm buying all the media guys take that we are a championship contender. We are deep at every position but don't have one guy that's better than a 50/50 shot to make a career in the NBA (collectively a couple guys probably will). I think you need at least one of those types to legitimately be one. I'd take a 3/4 seed and Sweet 16 appearance this year. I think Beard really gets cooking with gas next season. This looks to me to be a transition year that I'm not as rosy on as the media. I think the only way we exceed that level is if Carr is better than advertised.
  7. How is it that despite the never ending reservoir of attractive late teens early 20s girls that the women in their late 30s and on are mostly untouchable in the state? Seems like their MILF ratio should be much better than it is. Is it just meth?
  8. Madison is a fun trip, but State College sucks balls.
  9. Administering Baylor the death penalty the NCAA never did is almost sweeter than aggy misery. Knowing the next 50 years of their shiny new football stadium is pretty much Rice Stadium circa today is beautiful.
  10. CBB is more coach dependent than anything else, so while the B12 has been overall stronger than the Southeastern lately, that will ebb and flow. Just the act of Barnes moving from the B12 to the Southeastern changed the relative strength of each a good amount. The Southeastern has some good coaches right now that may be around for some time. We have the best of the bunch and will fuck up the league for the next decade or so.
  11. We would dominate even if we went to the ACC.
  12. Wow, how can Tech rank 50+ places below Ole Miss and actually worse than Miss St? That's bad.
  13. Carr seems to really want to be a pro. I'd be a little surprised if he didn't go to Australia with our guard/wing depth but one thing we are learning about Beard pretty quickly is he's a guy who makes it damn hard to say no to.
  14. Sims is the modern rim rolling offensive big and switchable defensively. He might not be a rim protector and that would limit his upside but he's got a 8 year career as a rotational player.
  15. Sportscenter sucks. No wonder I haven't watched it in a decade. Turning that crap off and monitoring this thread to know when to turn it back on.
  16. How did/does Rick feel about departure from here? I can't recall Barnes ever really openly discussing it in the media. It seems that Beard is making efforts to bringing Barnes back around the program, his former players, and city (as much as can be while he's still coaching) and that Barnes is open to it. I think it's a good thing. All the maddening things about Barnes have seemed to soften over time for most of the fanbase and I don't think it all comes down to the fact that alumni came to realize that the grass isn't always greener vis-a-vis Shaka.
  17. Carr has maintained eligibility? I thought I remember reading somewhere that he had signed with an agent.
  18. Sampson got in trouble only for all the phone calls in dead periods at OU and IU right? I don't think it was anything worse. I wonder if we would consider him.
  19. Any Eagles fan will tell you that the younger Reid will be coaching on the staff next year until he's actually convicted and goes to jail. The Reid family has coddled, protected, and rallied around their kids at every single fuck up (and there's been a lot of them, most of them unreported) since Andy came to Philly. They've long been threats to do something exactly like what happened and it's horrible its become a reality but not surprising. When you can call plays like Andy can you can insulate your family more than most.
  20. Yes precisely. I think it’s manufactured stuff but I can see that being the case. Both osu and florida turned the other cheek. We typically have not, but we also haven’t been in this type of negotiating position where we have no leverage. I’d prefer not to appoint Meyer to have absolute unchecked authority precisely because there is plenty of history to suggest what will happen if he has it. It’s wishful thinking to believe it will be different here because we are UT. But fuck it, I want him too. But I am genuinely concerned as well.
  21. I know we are fast approaching the masturbatory phase of the corch search, but I still hesitate about the reported negotiation of total control. Frankly I think it’s just made up talking points for $9.95 sustainability but if true I wonder if it’s Urban putting his foot down on any university oversight of his program. I’d rather not have a roster littered with rapists and criminals and being one step away from Briles.
  22. It should be titled Urban Meyer Cyst Watch
  23. Probably looking for a couple extra million in hazard pay for the cyst.
