Yep I wrote after the Arkansas game that I had my doubts about this staff adjusting properly, and I’m happy to be wrong. The last two weeks have looked like a different team. I think the rest of the season is going to be pretty fun. Glad to see Casey balling out.

Thought the same thing, were they carpeted or something? They seemed to be jogging down them pretty easily.

Hudson Card is the second coming of Garret Gilbert. And you folks claiming Thompson was playing in garbage time clearly don’t understand rivalry football — Arky wanted to shut us out, badly, the whole game. I have little confidence in this staff making good strategic decisions now that they failed to replace Card in the first or second quarter when it was clear that he didn’t have his head in the game. I hope they change course and prove me wrong.

We lost to them 37-7 in the third round my senior year after rolling through the rest of our schedule. I played for Newton, we never lacked team speed even in non-championship years, and this Marlin team wasn’t just bigger than us (most teams were), they were faster. Jeremy Sanders hit me in the nuts by accident when I sacked him once that game, that’s my primary memory. The rest was us getting demoralized and crying after the game. I feel like 3A football is kind of the sweet spot if you’re like me and weren’t very talented — get to play against some badasses occasionally but still get to compete. Anyway, I’d love/hate to see us pick up some Marlin guys. If they’re anything like the Marlin players from 15 years ago, they have that dog in ‘em.

Totally agree on Fred, he seems to have learned lessons quickly, and socialization via /b/ would fuck anybody up. I’m glad I didn’t know about /b/ until I was almost 20, and it was already presented as a wild place when I found out about it. Ron and Jim, however, are irredeemable caricatures of sexless internet trolls.

Pure troll, they hijacked the Q account and immediately began posting their own brand of bullshit. Lots of “well I don’t really know much about Q, but some of what he says seems correct” language just to keep the troll going. Lots of shit-eating grinning happening, fucking embodying the universal troll symbol on screen. The Watkinses are some of the worst humans I’ve ever seen. The dude in the wheelchair probably believed it at first but then wised up pretty quickly. He even said at one point that he just didn’t realize that the internet was the real world and carries consequences, that he had always seen them as two totally separate things. Lots of crazy to unpack in this one.

Conservatives aren’t being silenced. Nobody on Twitter debating small government or fiscal conservatism is being banned. Extremists who are pledging violence because they lost are.

Except Dixon did break stride, look at the wide angle replay then the final close up. He has to kind of throw his left hand back at one point to help slow himself up and maintain balance around the 40. The LB closes several yards, then Dixon catches the ball and turns the speed back on and separates from him about another yard before scoring. He slowed down. It was still a really good throw, it just wasn’t 100% in stride or else Dixon would have ended up 7-10 yards ahead of the LB when he scored. Casey balled out, love to see it.

I hope his sources are his eyeballs because that shit was all obvious.

I have a feeling “Take the points” will make its way onto a banner before the end of Herman’s tenure here.

He played a hell of a game last night. I was worried after LSU that he would be in his head for the rest of the season, I’m glad he’s proving my worry wrong.

That’s all well and good, but section 29 isn’t student seating. It’s reserved, so ticket holders had to run hundreds of students out of their seats, which clogged the aisles and caused a huge, hazardous clusterfuck.

You’re a laughable troll, dude. You need to learn from some of the long-gamers around here. You tip your hand in every single post because you’re a fucking moron.

As someone who escaped from behind the pine curtain, I have to say this story saddens but does not surprise me. Livingston is basically a lake away from Jasper. Vidor isn’t much further south, either. Livingston is just trying to fit in, guys.

This freshman sure has ruffled some of you guys’ feathers. Her power was limited until you rubes gave her hours and hours of Fox News coverage and couldn’t keep her name out of your mouths. She’s masterfully deploying many of the same tactics Trump does on social media. People keep screaming about how someone more nefarious and adept than Trump will take over one day and abuse the office even worse— what if that isn’t someone from the right? What if that’s AOC? Trumpkins will be threatening to move to Russia with the quickness. I’d laugh if it weren’t so damn scary that this is where we are as a country.

Can’t tell if troll or just dumb. “Kids in cages” = Dem talking points but “mah cartels!!” = fine.

Man I hope some of my utterances are hung on the employee lounge wall under best AI rage rants. You know these engineers see and hear some weird shit, though, so my “fuck you Siri, you dumb fucking cunt” messages are probably just lost in the noise. I do know Spotify seems to respond to “fuck this commercial” by playing that commercial over and over in an attempt to get you to subscribe to premium. I’m convinced their ads are only about selling Spotify premium, even if they’re for other products entirely.

I mean, he just called her a nigger and tried to beat the shit out of her after pulling a gun, what makes you guys jump to the hate crime conclusion?? It’s preposterous.

I never would have seen any of this behavior coming from the Martells. I mean, they displayed such character and class in QB1.

Mom, make him stop kicking my seat!

The behavior of (I’m assuming) adults in this thread is a microcosm of discourse in this country. I have little hope for improvement, regardless the outcome of the Mueller report. Civility has given way to political grandstanding and points tallying. We are going to eat each other alive while a handful get insanely rich off the carnage. Congratulations everyone, well done. And fuck me too, because I can offer no solutions.

Put the windbag on ignore, it’s not like he contributes anything of value that you might miss.

Good stuff then, hope he can get off of it!

TL;DR - internet speculation that I’m hopefully wrong about because he won’t have to be on Keppra. More long ranty stuff: The emotional toll of going from top athlete to potential walking seizure can be high, and I say that as a middling-at-best athlete who just rides bikes for fun. Keppra also lists depression as a side effect, so that coupled with a big life adjustment (no driving for six months after a single seizure, no climbing on ladders, walking up the stairs can be dangerous, etc etc etc) is a recipe for potential disaster, and probably why the neurologists implore you to contact them if you feel depressed. It really just depends on what his chances for full recovery are and how he reacts to any subsequent permanent life changes. My seizures were much more mild than his, and I’m not in his shoes as far as future employment opportunities, but I would never put a helmet on again after mine, given the choice. The look on my wife’s face when I wake up from one is not worth all the money in the world, and I’m sure he feels the same about his family.

Someone mentioned Keppra for seizures upthread, if he’s on that at 18 he will likely feel like an older person. Not necessarily physically, though it has its share of physical side effects, but emotionally. 18 year olds “aren’t supposed to take medication everyday”. I say this because I take Keppra, and it started in my early adulthood, and that’s exactly how I feel. He’ll likely be one of the youngest patients his specialist sees (I’m guessing there are pediatric neurologists but I’m also guessing they’re more rare than standard neurologists).
