  1. Yeah, I'm not showing that to say anyone should feel bad for them. Shit, we should be feeling bad for ourselves right now. But that's just an example of the lack of community combined with living in a late stage democracy where the oligarchs have taken over and are bleeding the country dry like venture capitalists. Everyone that isnt rich is feeling the hurt to some extent no matter who they voted for, and it's only getting worse. I expect political killings, mass shootings, and crimes of desperation to grow and grow until the fascist regime brutally clamps down. If these clowns even have the competence to clamp down on anyone.
  2. Bitch, you're a backup to Flacco and Dylan Gabriel
  3. I do have a plan to get us out of the continental US within 48 hours if need be. That would be temporary to allow some time to figure out a more permanent, lower cost place to live. It's difficult when you make good money but aren't "retire in your early 40s with 2 young adult daughters" rich.
  4. As far as not having a community to belong to, that's one of the biggest issues. The US has had a culture of weak familial bonds for a long time, and social media has replaced a lot of the in person social time we used to have. Inflation going out of control just seems to make that part worse. The community aspect of religion is helpful as long as it doesn't turn into a hate cult. Which, unfortunately, it mostly has. This lady accumulates social media posts of Americans venting. You can tell these are young people in need of support and feel let down by their country and community.
  5. The rest was good stuff and I agree, but this I think has been proven not true. The majority of the religious in the US are a major part of the hatred, callous, selfishness problem. Then historically speaking the countries that are run more secular in nature tend to be able to find the middle ground and address problems me efficiently. Think the Scandinavian countries and Japan in the modern world. They aren't ever perfect, but they tend to avoid some of the biggest traps religious societies fall into. My theory is because belief in a religion opens a mind up to belief in other things that also either have zero evidence to support, or have mountains of evidence to refute. Like believing in trump and the conservative lie.
  6. There's one thing in common with every sector of American society that has gotten us to this point of failure. A refusal to adhere to any sort of ethical standard for common decency. Over and over again every step of the way down has been littered with people only looking out for themselves and not caring about what their actions will do to the greater country at large. From the corporate obsession with profit over people, to the politicians being openly and legally bought to allow it to happen. Down to these farmers and the regular maga voter who expect to be given everything while expecting everything is taken from anyone not like them. It takes a whole lot of callous indifference, hatred, and greed in a society to devolve to the point of electing someone like trump. Then to elect him again after the disasterous first term, pandemic failure, and insurrection/theft of classified materials is deranged lunacy.
  7. It's a direct result of this interior line not having the foot quickness to reach block on OZ. They can't do it and fall over themselves trying to get out there while the small quick DL of UTEP and SHSU cross their faces. Asking them to block that is like asking Ewers to run Haynes King's offense. Or asking VY to run Peyton Manning's offense. It's stupidity. Why did they recruit extra large dudes on the line if they wanted to run so much zone blocking? Zone blocking was created 35+ years ago as a way for undersized, quick linemen to be able to force the bigger DL to move laterally where they could engage them and wall them off without having to drive block them to create space for the backs. It's not meant for linemen with a massive size advantage and slower feet than the DL. I just don't get why the fuck Sark is putting these dudes through this.
  8. I lie awake at night wondering what the tell tale sign will be to get my family out of the mainland US. And wondering if I'll recognize it in time.
  9. They are finding out. They expected trump to give them handouts like last time, expected trump to give them access to lower cost, almost slave labor. Their greed and callous indifference to human life led them to ruin. There's no reason to bail them out again, they are useless to trump. They will be ruined and trump's billionaire buddies will toss them aside and it'll be all corporate industrial farming.
  10. This is from the election prediction guy whosnis promoting a new book on conservatism, but he did his research well. Conservatism is a complete lie.
  11. Bitch, I've been saying this since OSU. Before any articles were written about it.
  12. Thats not even close to true. If a QB played these three games that was locked in and able to hit receivers with a college open window consistentlybl we'd be 3-0 and would have put 50+ on these last 2. Watch the tape. The receivers are there. The time is there to throw. Endries is a beast. 100 percent of the problem is blocking scheme and QB. When you see the film it's maddening how damn many plays are left on the field. A bad QB can sink your whole offense unless your OL and RBs are world class. Ours arent, but they arent bad.
  13. It has done well in gap scheme runs. Various versions of counter have consistently gotten the most yards every game. Has done well in pass pro. It sucks complete ass in 90 percent of the zone blocking plays, and Sark ran 60 to 65 percent zone blocking in that game. How many games does he need to see this OL can't consistently zone block worth a shit?
  14. Maybe, but there's a truth in being too close to a situation clouds your judgement. They know all these kids and have their own biases and emotions tied up in them, and that could prohibit them from accurately judging. Always need an outside evaluator you trust to keep your biases in check.
  15. The OL is ok. It's not a mess. It's not great, but It can be remedied by benching Stroh for Neto and going 90 percent gap scheme. There's a fix, but my hope Sark is just using these freebie games to experiment is going out the window. If he trots out this same shit vs SHSU then we're screwed. He needs at least one free win game to go with what he sees can work. Arch is inexplicable. If he looks that bad again in the first half of SHSU then a change has to be made. Can't waste this elite of a championship level defense trying to baby a QB. It's so bad it looks like he's never thrown to or practiced with any of the other players on offense before, and the dude has been in the program since January of 2023. You'd have to see if Caldwell can at least give you a bus driver's chance at Florida. Get Arch working with a psychologist and practicing with the backups behind the scenes all week and see if he can be fixed enough to get another shot this season. That was so bad on Saturday the dude is embarrassing himself. It's almost to the point of being cruel to him to keep him playing like that.
  16. Brexit looks like the Louisiana Purchase compared to this shit. This will actively tear down the US economy. China is now seen globally as the hope to offer global economic stability against the US economic implosion. 30 years ago that was unfathomable
  17. Yep, it's human nature if things are allowed to get bad enough. If hate speech is allowed to go unchecked. This experience had shown me freedom of speech cannot survive in the 21st century. There has to be major consequences for spreading hate, or else you get a nation of brainwashed people calling for civil war over completely fabricated and imagined transgressions. It's not just the US. You can see signs of it in every developed western country that doesn't clamp down on speech. The UK is an insane mess of propaganda and idiocy right now as well, just not anywhere near the level of the US yet. Same with a large part of Europe. The US is the one that the elites actively used it to poison their own population so they can steal as much as humanly possible for themselves. Look at all of the legislation republicans have passed since Fox News and social media took hold and went in this direction. Not a single piece of it has actually helped any regular Americans. It's all been about tearing down regulations preventing monopolies, ripping apart the American social safety net, and racking up tens of trillions of dollars in deficit spending only to funnel all of that money in to the pockets of the billionaires. It's the world's largest shell game. Get you looking over here while they screw you over there. And "we the people" are too stupid to recognize it. Going forward the only countries that will thrive are ones that put major restrictions on speech and the internet. Eventually every society around the globe will do it and democracy will mostly die out because this isn't sustainable. Of course it won't only be hate speech that is banned, it will be all manner of speech that goes against the ideals of the ruling government.
  18. Nah, suck it up. Use the hate to fuel your greatness, do this for another 10 years, then take the two hundred million dollars you've made and do all that alpaca shit with the rest of your life.
  19. Are you sure they weren't saying he needs to be out partying more? Manziel won a heisman being a drunk cokehead all season. Maybe getting lit more would get Arch to stop thinking and just fucking play
  20. TE room looks legit. James Simon looks legit, haven't seen a UT back breaking tackles like that in a while. The receivers look good, Livingstone should have had 2 more TDs yesterday but Arch didnt put the ball within 5 yds of him. He was open by several steps. Sark ran about 60 percent zone blocking plays in the running game, so it's no wonder the line looked bad. I don't get what the fuck he's seeing. Is he saving the 90 percent gap and power ratio calls for Florida? For the first time I'm really starting to wonder if Sark needs a dedicated OC. He definitely needs to get rid of Milwee. Can't have 2 QB regress under your watch and not get shit canned.
  21. I will be shocked if Sark benches him. Although in the 2nd half of that game I saw Sark do something I never thought I'd see... lean on QB run. Sark allowed Ewers to spare it up game after game after game and never put him on the pine. Can't see him do it to Arch unless Arch's yips get so bad he just has no other option and it would be cruel to leave him in. Ewers main problem was consistency. He rarely just looked as mentally lost as Arch did yesterday. Someone needs to tell Arch to relax and not worry about expectations because no one expects him to do anything other than suck at this point. It's all up from here if he can get over himself.
  22. The weight of the Manning name is crushing his confidence? I dont get it, he was perfectly fine a year ago. He's seriously mentally screwed right now. The line gave him a lot of time the majority of the snaps, they weren't bad. Sark does them no favors asking them to block outside zone against small quick defensive fronts, and stupidly keeps going to jumbo compact sets inside the 10 and trying to smash it in. Neither of those things are working at all against anyone. Outside of that the line wasnt bad. Receivers were open. He just couldn't hit Charlie Kirk if the barrel was an inch from his neck
