Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror
It's rather fascinating that Cignetti went from a fairly key component of the SabanReich to . . . IUP and a string of smaller schools.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Pining For IOLs Who Can Fog A Mirror
Yeah, he actually graduated from Darien High. He did this mythical "graduate year" at a prep school to increase his appeal to D1 programs. This is an actual thing, but I think you mostly see it in the northeast. So, he may not be all that snooty.

The state of College Football - Bitch Thread
Well, it seems like they're self-helping to specific performance. People generally are permitted to breach contracts and suffer the consequences.

The state of College Football - Bitch Thread
A couple of observations. Most states did attempt to impose some sort of guardrails with their NIL legislation. Two problems with it though, no clear enforcement mechanism and the lack of uniformity between states. Most federal legislation is an unnecessary one-size-fits solution to problems that probably should be left to the states and is passed as a form of pandering. This is not one of those cases. The new College Sports Commission has only one thing to recommend it and that is that it isn't the NCAA. It's going to have all of the problems that the NCAA has unless it receives some sort of de facto antitrust exemption as a result of being part of a court-ordered settlement. Frankly, I like the idea of the NIL clearinghouse checking NIL deals to make sure they have some bare connection to actual NIL. The reason I like that is that I think UT is going to have an easier time making "realistic" NIL deals than say Texas Tech.

It is an autonomous territory of Denmark. Sounds kind of like Puerto Rico to the US.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
Well, UA isn't as large as UT, but I kind of had mixed feelings about high school friends and acquaintances at UT. 50+ of my high school class went to UT. I never hardly saw anyone I didn't want to see. Half of em flunked out inside a year anyway.

My 2026 Health Insurance Premium Increase
I believe the issue is that ACA plans are at least partially state administered and funded and, for the most part, coverage stops at state borders.

January 6 revisited five years later
This more than any other single thing disqualifies that rotten, indecent piece of shit from a leadership position in our country. And that's even before you get to all the post-hoc lying and re-writing of history.

TV solution for technology challenged dad
Yeah, none of these things are going to work. At that age, they don't have the mental flexibility to deal with multiple "tuning" devices and a single screen. About the best you can do is simplify it to one device, preferably the TV itself. And that probably means an Amazon Fire TV or Roku.

So, if our enemies didn't have Mar A Lago under audio, video, electromagnetic surveillance (and they'd be stupid not to), they do now.

Any Veterinarian’s here?
I've dealt with vets associated with Vetcor, Thrive, and VCA (actually owned by Mars) and have been generally pleased. The first two were local vet practices that mostly retain their local character. VCA is the big vet hospital company in Dallas, and more or less where you go to see a specialist. You can sense a sort of "corporate ness," but the vets themselves are good. It's not the same shitty PE experience that comes with "service" companies, HVAC, plumbing, electrical.

Things not going well in Venezuela
Assuming that's true, they probably held off an "extraction" or other coup-type operation pending some kind of plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela, which seems conspicuously lacking here. And that whole pesky international law thing. Just encanting "Maduro bad" is some sixth-grade foreign policy.

Are prep school guys named Christian from tony NYC burbs really gritty? He looks the part. Has a rather declasse surname, though.

Things not going well in Venezuela
No one is "glazing" Russia or China. Long experience has taught us the regime change without pretty exquisite post-coup planning opens us up to local resentment and for our enemies to make further inroads in supporting our opponents, or people who may become our opponents. This is showing all the earmarks of a hasty, poorly thought out even if militarily well-executed feat of clumsy international "diplomacy."

Oh, I don't even think it's even about oil reserves. That's a post-hoc justification. It's just an ego-fit by Trump that has some vague connections to something "good," and a whole lot of pretty bad outcomes. He took out a world leader, quien es mas macho?
