  1. Wow, maybe it is really looking bad for the GOP if they're doing this shit again. Probably less of the wealthier small donor base piece and more simply having more small donors; the GOP leans more on megadonors (relativly speaking - plenty of that money on the Democratic side obviously). It's already really hard to get a workable sample when you're spending days cold calling until you git your numbers. Trying to do that with the limited subset of people out voting early is even harder.
  2. I mean yes, this is obviously right (although food prices have and continue to fluctuate, and that includes downward at times, as they always have)... But the segment of the electorate that understands this or is even able to grasp the possibility is already backing Harris. That's not who she needs to win over. Also, yes, when asked in polling if they would prefer additional buying power through a wage increase or lower prices, Americans pick lower prices (even if that means passing up on income gains) by like a 2-1 margin.
  3. Has anyone ever seen @Helobious and Clay Travis in the same room?
  4. 1.) It probably is; 2.) I didn't say you were an idiot because you said Texas would miss the playoff, nor did I say anything about them expecting to. You are an idiot for thinking this team goes 8-4 all of a sudden because it got beat by what's been he best program in the sport the past three years. Yeah, Texas lost to Georgia decisively. It's genuinely pretty hard to imagine a deep playoff run or a national championship with Quinn Ewers at QB with what he shown the past couple weeks. That does not mean Texas is going to finish the year 2-3 against the SEC version of the Murderer's Row MS Paint.
  5. I really hope this is a bit because otherwise I'm concerned for how your family will handle your apparent cognitive decline. FIFY. Texas may have feasted on mediocre teams to get to 6-0 before last Saturday's wake up call, but what is the rest of the schedule if not mediocre teams? The only thing that adds any degree of difficulty is 3/5, and probably the best three opponents, are on the road. I picked 10-2 - I'd still favor Texas in every game left but just playing the probabilities they likely drop one somewhere. Arkansas or Kentucky if I had to guess but I don't really know aside from this: not aggy lol. However, I'd much sooner go 11-1 than 9-3.
  6. Would you mind toning down the aggy just a little bit?
  7. Uh these have already happened and did nothing. Nothing will come of it.
  8. Stop me if you've heard this, but the word is Pennsylvania. Look around. We don't. We're past the point of no return on that. Even if Harris wins this election, Democrats and their coalition aare going to have to hold the line every time. Obviously it will break at some point, be it in 2024, 28, 32, whatever. And when it does we'll get Project XXXX.
  9. I honestly don't even know if I'd go so far as to use the word "bad." I understand football is ultimately pass/fail and UGA, on balance, won at the LOS on both sides. But I do think they put forth a competitive effort that never had a chance because of Ewers. If he had played a good game it may well have been enough to overcome given what the Texas defense and Carson Beck put out there. I don't want to sanitize things more than they should be but there is a lot of trashing of the OL in the fanbase right now and I think it's somewhat lazy.
  10. Please have the decency not to Football Board the Cloak Room.
  11. Airbnb/VRBO all the way out there in my experience.
  12. Moved to WA earlier this year and primary voting was a revelation. It's so nice to be able to sit down and fill out your ballot as you research, and to be able to stop and come back. Our ballots came in the mail over the weekend while we were at the UGA game. I'll probably fill it out over commercials while watching football.
  13. Honestly between these two points and a less than sterling durability profile, I'm passing on Ewers in the draft if I'm an NFL GM unless he falls into Day 3 lotto ticket territory. I still think he could turn into a good pro if he gets to back up a veteran for a couple years but I think there's a high bust risk if someone takes him earlier and expects him to be a starter.
  14. We don't disagree and that last sentence is my point. The offense is dependent on execution in the passing game. That's true in almost every modern offense. Very few teams go out there and just run over a talented opponent. That's why Michigan stood out so much last year. Baxter would not have changed that on Saturday.
  15. There's literally no upside to exposing your QB who is clearly having issues to that.
  16. Wisner was fine. He found the yards that were there. To the degree that the running game was substandard it's because the Georgia DL won at the point of attack. Not overwhelmingly so, and that's why Wisner did have some degree of production, but they did lose on net. Texas's run game this year was always going to be at least somewhat reliant on passing to set up the run. Texas seems unable to do that against talented, well coached defenses.
  17. lol I don't think "you're an idiot if you think this team hasn't shown energy or an edge to them, and at worst Texas just grinds it out" is a particularly negative sentiment, but sure let's add the obvious implication at the end that if the offense plays clean this could be a 28 point game by the half.
  18. Who else thought this was a Colorado State commitment for a minute?
  19. Have you just not watched this team this year or are you just being very lazy with the platitudes? I struggle to imagine Vanderbilt sustaining success on offense and Texas has too much on offense not to stumble their way into the 30's against Vanderbilt's defensive personnel. At worse, if the offense continues to struggle, this will look like the Mississippi State game where the score line stays ostensibly close for a while but the game never feels in doubt.
  20. Texas 37 Vanderbilt 13 Texas passing yards: 264 Vanderbilt isn't getting much going against Texas on offense and Texas should be able to run the ball and protect the QB. I don't think anything special is asked of Ewers here and he'll be competent in distributing the ball to skill guys Vandy can't consistently cover.
  21. Beck was absolutely as bad as Ewers, and he had a better running game and field position to work with too. For two top five QB prospects it was a shockingly awful display of QB play all around
