  1. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/17/us/politics/trump-patriotic-education.html It's not a straw man at all but he probably shouldn't have said "radical" Republicans. Just Republicans works fine.
  2. I can accept that under all the schtick he's a good person who makes a positive impact...but for real? Not getting any pings on the douche meter here at all?
  3. "Yeah grandpa, I did get those email forwards you sent. Sorry I didn't get a chance to respond, I saw them. Good stuff. Really funny."
  4. Not that Herman’s offense would be successful the the NFL (it would be a train-wreck), but this isn’t really true. Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton have both been their teams primary rushing threat for most of their careers. And they have both won MVPs.
  5. That would be pretty awesome. It kind of seems like a weird career move but he's been carving his own kind of career out for a while now so I could see it. Relatedly, I keep expecting Lorne to eventually hire some already famous people to join the cast for a season or two as ringers. If some of the old guard are leaving it may be a good time to throw some money at a few stars and see if you can get some hype for next season. I guess they've tried that before to mixed results. Was it Billy Crystal and a few others that were cast after they were already pretty famous? I think with the right people it could be pretty fun though.
  6. How is burning a diploma a more meaningful statement exactly? You know burning that piece of paper doesn’t mean you no longer have a degree right? Is the fire the point? Now you’d respect them more if they committed acts of vandalism in their misguided protest?
  7. Dr. Beeper is like the Luka Doncic of having terrible sports takes.
  8. Thanks for starting the thread. I hope he’s feeling well enough today to watch the game. https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jonathantjarks Here is his caring bridge site, it’s being updated pretty frequently for anyone who is curious to follow his battle. Also includes links with other ways to help. Not to derail but I’ve heard Brian Curtis mention on a podcast that he subscribes to several Horn paysites (IT & OB I’d guess). I’d bet he at least lurks around here if not post.
  9. “So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.”
  10. Do I? Hell, maybe I am. It’s hard to tell what that even means but mostly I just feel bored I guess? I keep seeing this thread at the top of the page and I’ll naively click thinking maybe there is a real update. Instead it’s the same 8 posters beating the shit out of the same straw-men or raging against UT’s 15,000th most relevant influencer. But admittedly, that’s my problem, not yours. I’m the dipshit that keeps clicking. fair
  11. Clearly. Don't let me ruin your fun, continue to pretend you are defending the Alamo from hoards of charging GenZ snowflakes I guess.
  12. Have you guys considered the fact that you are just being triggered by an account that doesn’t matter in the slightest? Barely 300 hundred likes and 100 RTs. Who gives a shit, why signal boost and rage against something that isn’t getting any traction? Most students won’t ever see that tweet or won’t give a shit. A high school football recruit got twice the engagement in the same amount of time by tweeting two emojis on a highlight video. It’s all going to be ok.
  13. Not that I'm aware of...care to explain how that is relevant?
  14. Yeah if that is the case, do what you can to get back into his recruitment making him the priority. CTJ posted something about negative recruiting from Alabama and others poisoning the well so I was assuming the issue was more than him not wanting to be a RB2. Alabama has a 5 star rb committed already, so Miller would be their RB2 take if that is where he is leaning fwiw.
  15. Be specific though, who is the RB1 that we are going to land at this point that is anywhere near as talented as Blue? He's the highest rated commit we currently have. I like Miller and he seems to come with less baggage so I'd make that trade but he's been trending away for months to the point where it almost feels like that's a non-starter. Citizen maybe, but he's a step down in talent and a hard pull from LSU. Jones is fine as a RB2 but he's not a big time prospect. This isn't like with Zach Evans where there is Bijan sitting there to prioritize.
  16. Pretty sure no one on the board thinks he's reliable as the only rb take this class anymore, but taking the information we have not everyone is ready to pull his offer immediately and write him off as a person and player.
  17. Agreed on basically all points. Mo Clarett and Mike Williams both made “selfish” decisions and quit on their respective teams early, but OSU and USC still got a lot of value out of them before they did.
  18. The rumors that he is a malcontent who had a huge blowup with his coaches and rage quit the team is more of a red flag than if he made a considered decision to skip his last year to protect his health for cfb.
  19. Nah, if that was his evaluation of Blue he would have been harping on it before, explicitly. No reason to be coy, that’s just a player evaluation. He doesn’t shy away from calling out prospect weaknesses, even ones that committed to Texas. From the IT commitment story: Nahlin needs to be seen as the smartest person on the board and it drives him crazy if it appears he was caught unaware of something, hence that post.
  20. Agreed, a 5.5 still converts to a 1 on the binary scale.
  21. Yeah, this: and this: put the coaches in a tough position where they really have to thread the needle, fair/reasonable or not.
  22. Gerry doubling down that the coaches should cut bait and saying he's known about issues for a while but he won't go into details. Also, this made me lol: Open your eyes people! "Need a RB in the class who runs between the tackles" is so clearly code for "Blue has issues with his coaches and will be opting out of his senior year on 5/20". Nahlin won't stand for anyone thinking he just may have gotten scooped on a story.
  23. Has a single person alleged that Darius made up those comments?
  24. Oh shit, interesting...well that's a new one. I'm gonna guess this is going to bring the #takes.
