  1. Would also be interested in this. I helped hunt down the site of the 2012 tailgate and can help again.
  2. Go Army, beat Navy!
  3. KSU has a better regular season record, but one of their wins is a FCS team. If that win didn’t count, it would give them the same regular season record as us and we beat them head to head. No idea if that matters in this case, though. Other than the repetitive opponent, I don’t get the Alamo Bowl hate. We get a home bowl game that is easy to tailgate.
  4. People want to start this kid because he practices well and made a million dollars before playing a down.
  5. The Freshman Colt comparison that was flying around a week or two ago is now a bad take, IMO. RS Freshman Colt made bad reads, had trouble adapting to the speed of the game, and overall just showed his youth. But he was a vocal leader with good body language who showed he wasn’t scared of the challenge. Ewers is making bad reads because he seems rattled out there and there’s no fire or focus afterward. I want the kid to succeed but it seems like if there’s any adversity involved, he’s not going to be the one to put the team on his back.
  6. Why does it seems like Ewers has been on the take almost every game after Bama?
  7. I wonder if Burry is still heavily short on Tesla. He shorted them close to a top, so that position might be hitting its return target by now.
  8. I started calling Ewers “Chubby Bunny” due to how the helmet squishes his face. Sark was pissed at Chubby Bunny.
  9. Beto is a horrible candidate for Texas races. The moment he said “hell yes, I’m taking your AR-15” he was done forever in this state. That kind of shit rallies democrats, who are far outnumbered in rural counties and the suburbs, and does nothing but alienate the rural populace further. Beto lost Uvalde. Beto. Lost. Uvalde. Republicans are good at finding “enemies of the people” for rural voters to hate and the Dems keep running out the easiest person to paint as an enemy. What Dems fail to understand about Texas rural and suburban voters is that they are so united over a common enemy that they could have almost an entire grade wiped out by a shooter in their school and still not vote for the guy who is pushing for gun control. What the Dem party needs is a candidate with rural roots who knows how to navigate the blue collars, the evangelicals, and the ag industry. Throwing out the same city boy who can’t read the rural room will never work.
  10. If by slightly less you mean “went from seriously considering a vehicle to never touching a Tesla product if it puts one red cent in Elon’s pocket” then yes.
  11. Small tangent, but this has been my "favorite" logical fallacy that I have been combating with my family over the last, oh, 6 years or so. Any source that I provide to them that counters their beliefs is immediately discredited as untrustworthy. We'll know that Twitter is truly dead and buried when my parents and grandparents all have accounts, suddenly, and start sending me links to news articles from it because they know I don't have Facebook. Elon keeps fucking around and I won't have a Twitter, either. Speaking of, I kept seeing people mention Mastodon and I thought maybe I missed an album release because I love Mastodon, the band. But it looks like a platform called Mastodon is picking up a little traction as a Twitter alternative.
  12. It’s amazing how those who complain about free speech or free markets seldom know how either of them actually work.
  13. My condolences to anyone tied to Houston Ship Channel prices this week. What a beating.
  14. This ump and his strike zone have been atrocious, so far.
  15. Lol at Justin Fields.
  16. This is a college football game. This isn't a home invasion where a burglar unknowingly picked the local gun nut and got shot. This isn't a carjacker getting run over. This is shit talking in a tunnel leading to a helmet to the head. Like I said before: proportionality.
  17. Tony Pollard should starts.
  18. Texas and OU have shared a tunnel for ~92 years and this has never happened.
  19. Here's the second player that was assaulted:
  20. My question then is: Did the Michigan player deserve to be assaulted? That was the point of my original post. Was the outcome of running through the opposing team predictable? Maybe. Was it deserved? No. Was the ass-beating proportionate to the level of poor decision-making? No. There is not a reasonable "middle-ground" take here because there is no proportionality of response between the players. Michigan player made a bad decision, but that bad decision didn't deserve a 10 on 1 stomping by men in pads, helmets, and cleats. So on the sliding scale of fault, that's way on the Michigan State side. And the FAFO slider will be way on that side, too.
  21. The point is that the FAFO gate swings both ways. Assaulting a man on camera while wearing a uniform that identifies your team name, number, and last name is fucking around, waiting to find out.
  22. There are people in this thread saying it should have happened. I'm pointing out that it is a dumb take. And yeah, charges should be filed. You can't allow players to assault opposing players in the tunnel like that. Pushing and shoving happens all the time. It happened on the field before this happened. This went way beyond that. The lines of "acceptable" in this situation in college football have been pretty clear for decades. If this was within those lines, this wouldn't even be making headlines.
  23. People saying that he should have been jumped for being stupid, and therefore stupid people deserve to be assaulted, really need to think about that because that is a stupid take and someone might come barging into their house and start assaulting them any second now.
