I love that gif. I like to recreate what was going on in their minds at the time. My guess is that the corps turd was protecting the sacred field. Then he got his ass kicked by a couple of male cheerleaders. Those cheerleaders were probably thinking, "What the fuck is this guy doing? Did he just pull a fucking sword? Are we really going to have to fight this dweeb? Well alrighty then." The cop: "herp, derp, herp, derp."

Have you ever met a porn star? They are not known for brains and making good life choices.

Looks like he just either got gut shot or the nut of a lifetime.

I've thought the same. Possibly the blue bloods need a few creampuffs on the schedule.

Here, here. About a year and a half ago someone I knew came to me with a bunch of the "drain on the economy" stuff. So I decided to research it. There are many scholarly articles that have looked into the net economic effect of illegal immigration. I tried to pull a cross-section to avoid the liberal university prof. egghead bias. I read about a dozen. They broke into three categories of conclusions: 1) negligible economic benefit, 2) no measurable effect, 3) negligible economic detriment. Based on these studies, it appears that the idea of an illegal immigrant coming here using up hospital services, free public school, food stamps and all the rest of it while contributing nothing is the same myth as the welfare queen. So, if it's not an economic reason, what would be the actual reason for being so against immigration? Hmmmm....???

Ah, fuck. Thanks.

FSU no longer has the factor in place that kept them out - only four teams. At 12 they get in. So they don't have that reason for jumping ship anymore. The bigger reason, for them or any other school, is the $$$ disparity between the conferences. In this constantly evolving landscape, there are now two major conferences and two lesser conferences - based on the revenue from TV contracts, which tracks the relative media market value of the schools. The reality is that each school has a certain, fairly known, value to networks. Above a certain line and your athletic department has a chance to be profitable and you get an equal share to all the other big boys. The money disparity will eventually have a large effect on competitiveness. So, if you aren't in one of the two big conferences making the most money, eventually you won't be able to compete. The wild west of NIL isn't going to last much longer. Eventually the schools will be paying the players; the schools with the most money will be able to pay the players more and the disparity will grow even greater. I foresee the BIG and SEC becoming like the AFC and NFC, if you will. Their "merger" in whatever form it takes, will effectively create a new league, which could replace the NCAA for football if they wanted. They would hold all the cards. They could make their own rules. Call it The College Football Champions League (brought to you by AT&T). There are 32 teams in the two major conferences now. I could see 40-48 making the cut. The remaining will be relegated to the NCAA and compete at whatever highest level the NCAA offers.

I'm talking about the extension and termination including the record buyout. Are you telling me Bjork had nothing at all to do with those? If so:

What do you mean "we?"

This. The guy made the biggest mistake in college football history and....he's a sought after individual? What am I missing here? Is tOSU run by waterheads? Their program will spiral. They let A&M off the hook. I was waiting for his firing after the Jimbo debacle, but my thinking was, "They can't fire him. If they do they will have to admit that they made the biggest mistake in history and that they are a laughingstock. They never have, never will and simply cannot do that."

You said rape twice.

I also think how "good" a RB is depends a lot on how good the OL is. The all time rushing leader in NFL history, Emmitt Smith, benefitted hugely from having the best OL in the league year in and year out. I don't think he was the best pure running back to ever play. If you have a good run blocking OL you could put just about anyone back there and they could average 4 ypc.

The RB's averaged 7.1 and 6.6 ypc in the bowl game. They didn't get a ton of carries because we were passing a lot.

Based on gained experience, young guys slotting in and transfers, here is how I see the position groups comparing '23 to '24: QB - better; Ewers should benefit from another year in the system. Manning > Murphy as backup. RB - same; Brooks was better than expected, but Baxter and Blue looked good when he went down. No dropoff. WR - same; I thought losing Worthy and Mitchell would be the biggest hit along with DL, but now with Golden and Bond I see virtually no dropoff. OL - better; should be the strength of the team with much experience returning. TE - worse; losing JT hurts and no one clearly able to pick up his touches. Might be better as a run-blocking group though. DL - worse; losing Sweat and Murphy hurts. They were the strength of the team this year. Hard to replace two NFL guys. LB - worse; Ford was really good. Hard to replace. DE - same; Sorrell was really good, but I like the guys we have to replace him. DB - same; lots of attrition here, but also the ability to reload. We looked to be very thin at safety until we landed Mukuba. Barron coming back is huge. Overall, our offense should be the same or better. Our defense probably worse, especially at stopping the run. We will make the playoff and should do some damage. We have a team that is good enough to give us a chance to win it all if the cards fall right. Agree? Disagree? I'm a dumbfuck?

Places not to put your dick.

I try so hard not to be that dad. I hate clutter and storing junk. My grandfather lived through the depression and he saved fucking EVERYTHING. He would cut a hole out of 2 liter soda bottles and use them as containers for other bits of junk and shit he'd save. It was excessive and drove me crazy. My dad does the same thing, but to a lesser degree. I do agree it feels good to pull the exact right thing you need out of your junk stash, but the juice ain't worth the squeeze IMO. So I just have a little bit of the most useful junk saved.

I've been trying to figure out the endgame of conference expansion. Eventually, will the SEC and Big Ten have all Power 5 teams in them? Would they usurp all power over the highest level of college football and replace the NCAA and College Football Playoff? All the money that currently goes to those entities and any other conference would go to them. Eventually, those two would merge to create a single entity controlling all of college football. It would be an evolution that would take years, but eventually they would have to legislate the two biggest things affecting college football right now - NIL and the transfer portal. It has to strike some balance between the players being compensated, having some freedom to move around, and some level of control over the money and movement at an institutional level so it's not the wild west and rampant with abuse. If I was suddenly appointed the czar of college football and could do whatever I wanted, I would institute pretty much exactly what Chip Kelly said. I think it gets there eventually on its own, albeit slowly. The reason it won't happen quickly is that you have all these different entities with power and money flowing to them who are resisting giving up that power and money. The bowls, the conferences, the individual universities. They are resisting change to what makes sense for everyone because it means they have to give up power and money.

I worked at a car wash during high school and in a structural iron fab shop the summer after my senior year. The fab shop job wasn't that bad - learned a lot of cool shit. It was hard though. Convinced me of the value of a college education, that's for sure. The worst jobs I ever heard of personally were a turkey masturbator and a guy who was on a moving crew who worked as general labor. We were moving offices and I was there helping and directing traffic. We struck up a conversation and I asked him what was the worst assignment he ever got. He said the worst assignment ever was to excavate a broken sewer line that was coming out of a hospital. The city crews wouldn't do it. The turkey masturbator story was probably the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. It was on a turkey farm and they had to get sperm to inseminate the female turkeys.

Is it possible to OD on aggy misery? Asking for a friend.

Haha. They had a xenomorph butt plug. Awesome.

Someone explain this to me. The bill is going to come due at some point, right?

This is the correct answer.

We officially have too much time on our hands.

Agua Dulce, Yorktown and Kenedy too. Maybe Karnes City.
