  1. It’ll be hard to run an election in the middle of WWIII.
  2. Nobody ever told them that, they made that shit up in their own head to justify their own hatred for "others." Be aware that when you type something like that most of us see nothing more than idiots with their "Diversity = White Genocide" t-shirts and you lose all credibility in anything you say on the topic. A new leader will make no difference. The current US regime will accept nothing short of Ukraine giving itself up to Russia. Zelenskyy's best move, in my opinion, is to go to Europe, beg them to please find enough support to help him win the war, then admit Ukraine into NATO. The writing is on the wall, there is no reason whatsoever for any decent European nation to expect anything from the U.S. going forward but bullshit. If Europe can provide victory for Ukraine they can surely muster enough collaboration to stop giving a single shit about what happens over here. We are not an ally to them in any way shape or form anymore and it's clear they need to proceed accordingly.
  3. I want to believe this will be a turning point in the country, but we all know there is no bottom. How the party of Reagan is okay just laying down for Russia is just fucking astounding.
  4. I think this is all a social experiment to study brainrot. There is no rational explanation I can for the fact that half this country supports this bullshit.
  5. I saw part of the OU-UK game and saw that OU was 4-10 in conference and projected as an 11 seed in the tourney. What the hell are we doing here? And they want to add teams? Is the whole conference gonna make it just for showing up? I saw they had two good non conference wins v Mich and Zona but 4-10? C’mon.
  6. Man I'm the opposite, as much as I hate Jerry Jones and the dumbfucks he hires to coach, I can't get rid of my attachment. The trade here might kill my give a fuck for the Mavs. Maybe it's because the Cowboys grabbed me as a kid and I didn't become a Mavs fan until my 20's when I lived in Dallas. Either way, Jerry Jones has never and would never do anything as stupid as this, which is a big difference. He shopped Herschel Walker around and got a shit ton in return. The equivalent would be if he traded Patrick Mahomes from a few years ago for Russell Wilson, a decent WR, and a midround pick 5 years from now. It's just fucking asinine what the Mavs did here, the most jaw dropping of which is the lack of return. When the Thunder traded their stars they got tons of picks in return and have used them to stay at the top of the standings. It just feels like intentionally tanking the franchise. Jerry is dumb but his decisions aren't to intentionally hurt the franchise, and again, even he would never in a million years do something this stupid.
  7. Last article I saw said he was found collapsed in a mudroom near his cane and she was found in the bathroom collapsed with a bottle of pills splattered and a space heater nearby. The dead dog was in a closet in the bathroom (didn't say if it was locked in there or just died there) and the other two dogs were in the house with access to outside. It also said that she was found bloated with mumification but no description of Hackman's condition. Gas company confirmed no leak and no indication of CO. Still no suspicion of foul play. This one is super weird to me and I can't help but be curious. It seems to me that a possibility would be that maybe they were fighting and she either pushed him or he collapsed and died and she swallowed a bottle of pills out of guilt and collapsed at some point from the drugs, the dead dog might have swallowed some of the pills that spilled, or maybe was locked in the bathroom with her and starved to death if she had really been dead that long. Or maybe the opposite? They were fighting, she decided to swallow some pills, and he collapsed in grief or guilt afterward in part because of his age and infirmities. I'm struggling with them outruling any possible foul play including the possibility of a domestic dispute? So fucking weird.
  8. Put it on the money.
  9. And white and male, no more dei shit like hiring qualified women or minorities. Sorry for the oxymoron, women and minorities are by definition never qualified, so just be a white male. He should also probably by a Cybertruck and post a bunch on social media about how Elon is the coolest alpha memelord to ever live.
  10. Protectionism, we need 'murican made fentanyl to keep the Jimmy Earl's in business. Seriously though, why is there not more discussion on why the US has such a demand for this shit? What kind of shithole country has so many people gobbling this crap up like candy? Sounds like a country full of degenerates if you ask me, I'd close down the border if I were another country to keep this sick fuck American's out.
  11. 1. I don't think there will be a long term difference in favorable networks and timeslots compared to non OU/TX conference games before the move. I couldn't find any easy stats but if it was less in 2024 its probably because there wasn't any breakout team that spent any meaningful time in the top 10. OSU and Utah were supposed to do that then shit the bed and it was hard to take ASU and ISU seriously until later in the season. 2. There is probably some of this, offset somewhat by adding four new teams that will tune in more to Big 12 games not featuring their team, I don't think it is a big change, but that's just a feeling. A number from that chart that I find interesting and gives me hope is that in 2020 OSU v. ISU drew 2.81M viewers, not much less than OU v. ISU at 2.99M. We also broke 2M twice in non OU/TX games (v. ISU and v. Tech). In 2024 before we shit the bed we drew 2.8M v. Arky and 2.1M vs Utah. If that's the high end for the XII from week to week it'll be okay. There won't be any 4M or 5M games once Prime leaves but the contract was signed before he took the job (I think) and no way a network is paying a premium because of one coach who could leave at any moment. Bottom line, ratings will never compete on the high end with BIG and SEC, but will do good enough to justify the TV contract. The TNT deal sounds like a good thing, linear is always better than streaming, but it feels like it might take some time for people to realize that TNT is in the CFB game now. Better than CW though, lol.
  12. My favorite part he thinks the guy who has spent the last 20 years saying vaccines are dangerous should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to vaccine processes. Absolutely fucking insane.
  13. Wow, huge shock Ana is justifying putting an anti vaxxer in charge of Health and Human Services, on the topic of…vaccines.
  14. Forgot he was in The Birdcage. Still one of my all time favorite movies.
  15. This “dems are also bad” shit is really starting to infuriate me. It’s a big tent, why do so many who lean left demand that the part perfectly align with all of their beliefs? Some say the party is too left (trans rights, defund the police, open borders), others say it’s too far right (no universal healthcare, too close to Wall Street, support for wars). Why can’t we determine this stuff in primaries then back the candidate who might not be perfectly aligned to each of your personal beliefs, but they check some boxes and recognize there is good on some maybe even most issues? The republican will almost always check no boxes (even in trans rights many dems think it’s being pushed too hard but few would agree to vilify them or to abolish gender affirming care altogether). Gaza is the perfect example, I’ve bitched enough in the other thread, but it’s abhorrent to me that the protest voters on that one issue didn’t give a single shit about the people here in the US who are now suffering in very predictable ways by letting a true monster take office. Republicans have similar basic dynamics, some are RINOs or “I’m not a fan of Trumps personality,” but they will always back the candidate because they see it as better in general that the opposition. For as stupid as many of them are they at least see big picture shit like that while the left has way too many self righteous tools who are cool with the suffering of others if the candidate isn’t perfect on everything. End rant, back on topic, everyone of these examples in this thread are people who will still vote for Trump and will probably support him becoming a dictator because at least he isn’t woke amirite?
  16. Saw the headline, first thought was murder suicide. Article says no foul play, so gas leak or carbon monoxide? That would explain the dog. Saw the cult thing above so suicide pact? Would be shitty to take out the dog with them, but looked on wiki and the cult post above wasn’t there and google didn’t show anything. So it has to be gas or carbon monoxide right? I guess it could be suicide pact for non cult reasons, would still be shitty to take the dog out too. I’m not a big film buff, he’s one of those actors that I know I’ve seen many times but the one that really comes to mind is The Replacements, lol, I’m basic af I guess.
  17. I just hope Vegetables gets a lifetime contract, lol.
  18. Definitely worth a shot, gotta try something new, and pulling on hate strings appears to be key. I have no faith it would work, but should be tried.
  19. I always found Cuban annoying, but he was "our" annoying owner, we embraced his eccentricities. This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. I seriously still can't fathom how or why this has happened.
  20. The first part of your post is why it won't work. Unless they conclude with "oh and we hate trannies and browns now too" none of that matters to the average voter. It's why I've given up all hope. I think it would be a true disservice if dems jumped on the hate train to win elections but without it they'll continue to lose. I honestly don't know the answer at this point.
  21. Ugh, there is no open invitation from OU, both sides have discussed, specifically 2031 as a possibility as it's the first year neither has a P5 noncon currently scheduled. We've scheduled bedlam in pretty much every other sport where it's easier. OU's football noncon opened up far more than ours with the move because they had some SEC programs scheduled as noncons that were made part of the conference schedule and they went from 9 conference games to 8. The AD's get along just fine. It'll happen. If the networks made a proposal for something earlier my guess is it would happen sooner.
  22. 2021: OSU was 9-1 and ranked No. 9 in the country, TCU was 4-6. 2022: OSU was 5-1 and TCU was 6-0 and ranked No. 3 in the country. 2024: OSU was 3-7 and TCU was 6-4, also in the same time slot as Bama-LSU. You don't think that might have had something to do with the difference? Plenty of Big 12 games made it to decent timeslots and did fine (including some not involving CU). Nowhere near a UT or tOSU game, but in line with the contract. Before our season went to complete shit OSU-Arky drew 2.8M even though it was up against UT-UM (it certainly helped that your game was a blowout and ours went to double overtime). The biggest problem the Big 12 will likely have going forward is cannibalism where it will be difficult for one program to win out and make it into the Top 10 with any regularity. It is what it is, the games are still fun, and there's plenty of timeslots available. I doubt it helps to say it for the 40th time, but I and most other Big 12 fans (on this board especially) undertand the difference in ratings and TV contracts. It seems about right to me, I just always will push back against "nobody watches" or the notion that the Big 12 contract should be zero'd out in 2031, that type of hyperbole is just asinine.
  23. MAGA: We’re cutting $2 trillion. DUMBFUCK: Here’s a report of up to $500B in fraud, so happy they’re focused on that.
  24. Bwahahahahaha! We got him spiraling into meme mode again. I still can’t figure out if he’s a troll, a bot, or a truly brainwashed believer.
