Exactly what I would have produced if asked to sketch the perp without any additional info. Yeah, I'm sorry, historical trends from the 20th century just aren't relevant. Different world, and Trump and Cult 45 are different beasts than anything observed in that window.

She's the sitting VPOTUS and is crisscrossing the country to spend time in swing states, of which TX is not one. Trump is unemployed and has kept a light campaign schedule. They are not the same and it's unreasonable for Rogan to look at them as such. Oh come on. This is weird Rogan bro shit. I generally buy the idea that it's a close race but the "coastal elite" - for lack of a better term for the corporate/political class - consensus that Trump is going to win a statistically tied race feels pretty 2016-y. I get that the financial sector positioning for a Trump win is really the only play because Kamala is essentially status quo, but still.

Isn't he the guy who wrote novels about the greatness of the Tom Herman offense?

This worries me quite a bit. Election Day is already ripe for violence from MAGA. If there's any sense of advantage heading into ED from the Republican side, that could be the push some of these Nazis need to go intimidate voters, or even bomb/shoot up a polling place. To say nothing of the more benign factors like bad weather, flat tire, unexpected work demands, sick kid, whatever else that can keep you from getting to the polls as planned when you reduce it to a single day.

Elon admits Biden won. What a fucking cuck.

WA has pretty accommodating voter laws so the folks that dropped their ballots at that location that day will have a chance to resubmit them. There's really no way to know who did, though, so it's about getting word out. My impression from my brief time as a WA resident is that Spokane is for if you are too Idaho for Seattle but not Idaho enough for Idaho. The data point is Trump +4 in Kansas is an unusually low margin for a Republican, from a pollster that has at least some recent success there. I doubt the margin actually finishes that low but the sentiment that there will be some weird results rings true. Just as the majority of Trump's gains among men of color will be in noncompetitive states where people of color actually live - CA, TX, FL, NY, IL, NJ, etc. - the country club Republican defections are likely to produce weird margins in solidly red states. Jesus Christ. This country is in a shameful place. Reason number one million and one I hope Harris wins: So the defamation lawsuit can proceed. Nevada's gone. Apologies to @Js1. They caught the white whale. Imagine being so clueless that you think there aren't women out there either avoiding the topic or nodding and smiling to avoid something between an argument with a cult member and a beating.

Yeah. I don't have a lot more to say on the offensive issues that hasn't already been expressed in some way. The defense played a really strong game today. What Vanderbilt got, they earned. The defense is a nationally elite unit that will keep Texas in every game and will likely win a couple more outright like it did this one. Wish it didn't have to, but the fact that it can is pretty cool.

AOC is going to smoke him and we'll be pushing for her to be installed as QB1 over the bye.

Personally, I was very confident four years ago. What doubt I had was purely 2016 PTSD. Biden's lead in polls was just too wide. We got a historic polling error and he still won. I'm not at all confident of anything either way this year. I'm def not biting on the anecdata about everyone's Republican friends adding up to be this huge chunk of defections to the D side. Like everyone else, we all live in our own bubbles.

This aged like milk

He was better today but not consistently good. A few really nice throws. Serviceable on a plurality of snaps; but the balance - way too much - was "wtf was that!?" Honestly he landed in that grey area where a coach isn't going to see enough to bench him but accomplishing big goals like an SEC championship or playoff run become hard to picture. You are right about the OL. By far their worst game of the year in pass pro today, Georgia included. I'd say they run blocked well enough at least except for the fucking holding calls that killed drive after drive.

Texas is going to win a bunch of game with him and unless there's some improbable get right moment over the bye week, he's still not going to lead Texas to any hardware goals. To the extent there's ill will toward him in the fanbase that's underserved and those people should probably go find a hobby or seek therapy or something, but if this is what Texas is going to get out of him the rest of the season it will be time to move on. As planned, by the way. I think everyone, Ewers and camp included, knew that going into the year.

The eyebrow raising thing today is that Quinn wasn't much better in terms of pocket presence and the OL was honestly worse than the Georgia game. Some of that is likely obvious game script - when you're starting drives 1st and 20 it tends to help the pass rush - but they drew those flags too. Good time for a bye week. Unlike Ewers I think the OL can get it together.

I'm about 25 mins into the Trump Rogan interview. Rogan has asked just a few questions and basically just lets Trump ramble. And for the most part Trump comes off as harmless. Like your dipshit boomer uncle who is always embellishing stories and injecting hot takes to the point you just laugh and blow him off. obviously a lot of what he says is nonsense but that's always the case and Rogan certainly doesn't push back. Although as I type this Rogan is getting a little sycophant-y talking about how dangerous the job of POTUS is, especially for Trump. Probably not going to listen to this while thing because it's almost 3 hours. Did get a Kamala ad lol. I don't think this will move the needle much at all. Maybe get a few Rogan listeners off their ass to vote for Trump.

I don't pretend to have any degree of confidence in how this election will go, but you've got some nerve coming to Surly and implying people spending their time posting on the internet are detached from reality.

My b then. Can never assume on this board lol

Well the alternative for the day is watching Michigan-MSU, not surprised people would rather stand in line.

.500 would make you the GOAT as a MLB hitter or NBA 3 point shooter, and give your team a non-zero shot at the NFL playoffs (before 17th game). So 1/2 ain't bad.

Texags grade cope. Impressive. lol it's a road conference game against a 5-2 opponent that's already beaten Alabama. Texas just needs to win the game. I think they'll do so pretty comfortably even if unspectacularly, but they just need to win. Bye week, Florida scrimmage, and another week of practice to sort out any hypothetically festering QB issue before Arkansas.

Or if the line on a Texas game was set purely based on action from Texas fans.

Those are good numbers in general and excellent numbers in the Rust Belt + GA. I've never paid close attention to the gender breakdown of the electorate, so I have no idea if we should expect that gap to close on or leading up to election day. NV is gone but it's the least important swing state.

That's as attributable to this being a Texas board as anything else. Beyonce always helps though.

I generally agree with this sentiment, but if Joe Rogan can't accommodate the sitting Vice President of the United States by agreeing to reasonable terms - whether that be studio security, acknowledging there are going to be some questions she cannot answer, arranging a remote interview, whatever - then he can kiss VPOTUS's ass. For the record, again, we have no idea if any of this happened because the source is the Travis County GOP clown. Your wife also listens to I've Had It, I see.

Oh, and this shit too. So infuriatingly brazen and it will no doubt fly under the radar and be allowed to slide, if not expanded to all mail ballots.

This shit. This shit right here. All of it. It's why this country is heading into a dark age at absolute best, regardless of who wins the election. Trump may or may not win, I honestly have no idea (gun to my head - he does, we simply cannot have nice things). But this shit is too far gone.
