    She’s no less experienced/qualified than Mike Pence.

    It’s ok to admit you said something stupid.

    She most certainly is.  12 year congressman and Governor of Indiana.  It's ok to admit you are a partisan hack.

  2. Where did I say Palin's credentials or intelligence were comparable?  Palin is clearly a moron.  McCain's selection of her should have disqualified him from the presidency.  Harris is a mediocrity, the outcome of a backroom political deal.  Maybe Quayle is the better comparison.

    She was attorney general of California for 6 years and then a Senator. That’s pretty much the definition of extremely qualified to hold the VP role.

    She's the least experienced/qualified VP since Henry Wallace.

    Jesus Christ, the only things Kamala Harris and Sarah Palin have in common are that they're both pretty and female.

    Kamala Harris has a law degree and she's very intelligent, whether you like her or not.  Sarah Palin is a muppet who was just bright enough to memorize and regurgitate a handful of talking points while eye-fucking the camera.  Anyone who thinks that's a good analogy is as dumb as, well, Sarah Palin.

    Is she more intelligent than Palin?  Sure.  Do I think that earning a law degree from Hastings without honors represents evidence of high intelligence?  Fuck no.  She wasn't the editor of the Harvard Law Review.  She has extremely mediocre academic credentials, particularly given the academic achievements of her parents.      

    Do I think serving as a one-term JR Senator from CA represents "extreme qualifications" for the VP position?  Again, more qualified than Palin (amazing accomplishment) but not extremely qualified.  

    Clyburn told Biden to pick a Black women as his running mate in exchange for the SC endorsement and Biden picked Harris.

    So you were talking out of your ass? Throwing shit and hoping it sticks?

    They were both chosen as VP nominees almost entirely based on their identity, had zero appeal to independents, have no chance of ever leading a presidential ticket, were immediately ignored by McCain/Biden following the general election, are walking gaffes, and are historically unpopular among the general electorate.

    I'm too lazy to look, but if Canada ever uses Vancouver to host WCQ, we got dibs!

    I couldn't figure out where our qualifier is.  I guess they haven't announced location yet.  

  7. Also hilarious that Scally is good enough to get his Bundesliga debut against Bayern but evidently not good enough to get his USMNT debut against Jamaica.

  8. USMNT plays in Canada on January 30 when it could be really cold.  

    This evening will be a real test of whether Gregggg has learned anything in terms of playing the best players instead of "experience" (i.e., his favorites).  If Lllllllg, Arriola and McKenzie start, we will know the answer to that question.

    I remember she got destroyed in the primaries, so not surprising to see her poll so poorly. Worse than those other scrubs like Warren, Klobs, and Castro

    She's the D Palin but Trump was awful enough for the electorate to ignore her.  Does the power of incumbency apply when neither the POTUS nor the VP are on the incumbent ticket?  I guess the current plan is for Biden to run again but she has no chance of making it to the top of the ticket.

  10. Many of the most important games in USMNT history (both positive and negative) and almost all of the most important games in USMNT history played in the US (other than the USA 1994 games) have been WCQ games.  The expansion of the World Cup basically renders all international soccer games played by the US and Mexico irrelevant other than World Cup games and eliminates any meaningful international soccer games played in the US.  Gold Cup finals played in NFL stadiums are now the highlight of the USMNT home schedule.

    Maybe the US will get an invite to play in a Copa America from time to time.  That does nothing to provide important games in the US.  Austin has now hosted both its first and last meaningful USMNT game.  Hope everyone enjoyed it.  Cash grabs only from here on out.

  11. Texas is without question the biggest joke in college football and it could get worse when Texas starts losing to aggy, pig and OU each season in addition to the beatdowns from the actual SEC heavyweights.

    I seriously typed him in instead of Acosta but thought, nah, even Gergg isn't that bad.

    I could definitely be wrong...

    Greggg doesn’t play a double pivot and prefers dual 8s.  He played lllet there against Panama.  Surely he won’t break up the MMA MF against old Mexico so he can get llllet on the field …

    Nah, you forgot Lletget.

    Yup.  Greggg will likely go with Lllllllletget instead of Acosta and Zimmerman instead of Richards.

  14. Weather looks to be low 40s with maybe some drizzle for the game.  

    Big question for Mexico is whether they start Herrera (31) and Guardado (35) against the MMA midfield assuming Gregggggg doesn't bottle his lineup.  

    Most of the projected lineups I have seen for El Tri include at least 6 and sometimes 7 (depending on whether Chaka starts at RB) 30+ players.  

    Also interesting is that only 6 players on the Mexican roster play their club football outside of Mexico.

    Maybe not 2021 UT.  But Bama, tOSU, OU etc it does.  Maybe that brings up a good question, is UT too woke to want it that bad? 

    Yes, which is one reason the football program needs to be completely siloed from the rest of the university.  In the immortal words of Cardale Jones, "We ain't come to play school."  At Bama, OU and tOSU, it's all about the team and accountability to the team.  Dennison laughs at that concept because he believes personal accountability is an outdated concept, but it is a hallmark of all successful football programs and hasn't existed at Texas for a decade.

    Whomever recorded should be ushered out of the program. 

    Motherfuckers need to get in the fucking transfer portal.

    If this staff wants to survive, they need to burn the program down (massive transfers out and in and huge recruiting freshman class), build it back from the ashes and silo it off from the rest of the university as much as possible.  That is a much easier task for a basketball program but the football program needs to get there if it ever wants to consistently compete again on a national level.  Outside of the hard sciences, this generation of students (particularly at an institution like UT) is indulged and coddled like no other in history and it bleeds into athletics.  The Ohio State and Alabama football programs don't interact with the larger university.  The players live, train, "study", eat and basically exist separate from the university (including the other athletes) in NFL boot camps.  If that approach isn't palatable for Texas, stop pretending to be serious about football and embrace Nebraska status (which at least has a legitimate excuse for its irrelevance).

  17. Brooks hasn't been at his best but he has been much better than McKenzie who the US soccer media loves to make excuses for.  McKenzie has repeatedly sucked.

  18. Dest is out so Yedlin will probably start both games.  Arriola will definitely start at least one game (Greggggggg tried to start him all three games last cycle until he was injured during the CR warm up).  Lletget and Roldan will both play but hopefully only as subs.

    Never forget that Greggggg has no idea what he is doing.
