  1. Edit - did a search. According to the link below he apparently thought he was signing a contract to perform in Russia for 4 months. If true, that's very crazy. Albawaba Link Wild shit...
  2. If you're talking about the American revolution it could be pretty easily argued that logistic issues were among the main factors that contributed to the Continental victory. I don't want to derail this thread, but from Romans to Huns, from Alexander to Khan from WWII to Ukraine every great military or victory you've ever heard of existed/happen in large part due to strong supply line management. All of them or due in large part to supply chain/line failures (Russia-Ukraine/American Revolution). Some of them actually were successful BECAUSE of them, as in, it was one of their strongest tactical advantages. Alexander was definitely among the tops in "ancient" history. Khan moreso for the style and training of troop movement which greatly reduced supply demands. The Huns had a very unique "supply line" strategy in addition to revolutionary tactics. I could go on and on. I would suggest doing some research on logistics and supply line in relation to the America Revolution. It's actually really interesting, imo.

    Hah.. it was early brain malfunctioning. But yeah I agree. It's frustrating and I won't rehash or beat the fully decomposed horse corpse but I hold 1 person responsible for the loss to UF that shouldn't havr happened and it's not a player.
  4. A good call purely for location.

    Just keep this in mind for all the old folks who cry about "the way it was", that "every game used to matter" and "the playoffs and NIL ruined college football". Until this weekend Vanderbilt and UVirgina were in the hunt for a conference championship and playoff appearance. A single Texas loss to Florida, even winning out but certainly at 9 wins, very well could be the variance between playoffs and bowl. There is more parity and opportunity for all sorts of teams than ever before and every single game counts now. (Unless of course you're ND) Letting coastal mediots and coaching assistants decide which blue blood was the best team in the nation was WAY better. Edit - this isn't to at all claim there aren't issues with the current system. That Memphis was more likely in than Texas prior to this weekend is complete bullshit, for example.
  6. It was a top 25 match-up of 2 conference foes one of which we face at the end of the month. Naw dawg.. that doesn't deserve a thread on the football board.
  7. Or maybe... and I'm just spit balling here.. but maybe aggie has a bit better D than Vandy.
  8. I'm not defending Missouri, but kind hard to judge them on a freshman starting his first game ever. That was a big part of the difference today.
  9. Well, to clarify his exact words were "bluest of blue bloods" that has never played in an SEC champ game haven't been this good in over 2 decades and haven't won an NC in nearly 100 years.
  10. Damn you for being spot on!!!!
  11. I noted that incorrectly in the random games thread.
  12. Lol wrong thread
  13. That game is why I can enjoy bye weeks. Not thinking about Texas, kick back and watch some occasionally great college football. All while watching Deion horrible time management on the split screen.
  14. That was absolutely a backwards pass. Didn't end up meaning anything but it could have.
  15. I thought it did.
  16. Insanely great QB, WR and OL play to put them there and maybe the best TD play by a WR we will see this year. IU is for real.
  17. WVU was leaning on CU D. They are gassed. CU doesn't score a TD on this possession you can turn that game off.
  18. Lol, I read this as "small corpse" at first and thought has @bolverk been learning trade craft with @Nicole44
  19. Hurry up, it's half time. I need some materials quick!
  20. We need a reaction response that is fuck you without the neg.
  21. It really did make me smile. I am a fan of his work.
  22. Well, the middle and lower class who are the biggest supporters of sports teams are absolutely flush with cash right now so.. there is that. /no.CR couldn't resist the sarcastic response cause fuck Disney and their extortionist ways. I'll stop I promise.
  23. Egomaniacal stupidity most of the time I recon.
  24. I like your spelling of Mountaineers. No, really, it actually made me smile. Maw-teon-ears
