2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
To add to this, Washington state runs a combined primary where the top 2 candidates advance to the general election regardless of party. Statewide results in early August were anywhere from the D+13 to D+16 range, which would indicate a pretty similar environment to 2020 where WA was D+13 for governor and D+15-16 for most other statewide races. Was Biden +20 but that's because it's a particularly bad state for Trump demographically (lots of whites who played school). Presidential primary was back in March and not included in the top two primary earlier this month.

Prediction Contest Week 1: CSU @ Texas
Texas: 45 Colorado St: 24 WR Scrimmage yards: 217 These cupcake games are honestly some of the hardest to predict. Texas keeps it pretty vanilla on offense but doesn't do anything stupid, and Colorado State simply can't defend them consistently. Colorado State's competent passing game moves the ball on Texas and raises some eyebrows, though it's a garbage time TD that lets CSU backdoor cover. Texas is going 6-6 and 16-0 at varying points of the game thread.

Playoff Pickin' - 2024 CFP Predictions
B1G Champ/#1: Ohio State SEC Champ/#2: Georgia Big 12 Champ/#3: Utah ACC Champ/#4: FSU - probably would have picked them by default because the conference is a crapshoot of mediocrity so I'm gonna honor that since I'm picking after their loss this morning. Top G5 Champ/#12: Boise State... Another where I don't actually know who to pick but people seem to like them this year and they should only lose to Oregon OOC. 5-11 Seeds in no particular order: Texas, Oregon, Penn State, Ole Miss, Alabama, Kansas State, and... hot take... USC. First two out: Notre Dame, LSU

Will Howard fucking torched Texas last year lol. Texas was fortunate that Collin Klien was determined to not have him do so for nearly a full half of football.

Week Zero: College Football Starts Now
Montana State is a top tier FCS program. That generally equates to high level G5 - or even a low level P5 at the very top like NDSU or something. I'm surprised they were a full two TD road favorite over an FBS team but I'm not surprised they were favored.

Oof how does FSU let that happen on a screen, a fairly obvious call in the situation.

Let's just say you can't understand it from the outside looking in, and you can't explain it from the inside looking out.

OL isn't doing much better either. Also Tessitore has really dialed the abject shouting up to 11, Jesus.

Tips for 55+ visiting Austin?
Real talk, keep an eye on the weather and hydrate. Yeah yeah I know light beet is mostly water. But really, it'll still be hot mid-September, liable to be 90 degrees and muggy at evening kickoff. It could also be fairly pleasant, mid-September to mid-October is really schizo season. Probably won't be super well acclimated to that kind of heat, at that time of year, coming from the east coast. El Chilito is a really good breakfast taco/burrito/coffee joint, couple locations just east of 35. White people-ified, but good.

[Harris+Walz] The 2024 DNC: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
I was born in 92 so I have no memory of the election but my mother voted for Trump in 2016, and has since turned around and voted for Beto, Biden, and fucking figured out how to pull up a live stream (this woman routinely locks herself out of her email or Amazon or whatever) to support Kamala. In one of our many "How can you be serious about voting for Trump?" conversations my mom harkened back to the whole Hillary not baking cookies thing. Some nonsense about Hillary not being a "real mom" and looking down on women like herself, who were. Made no sense and was obviously the right wing outrage machine finding a way to strike a chord with my mother in light of her own issues, but that has really stuck with me as an example of just how extreme the coordinated media campaign against HRC was. She telegraphed her ambitions and Republicans spent years laying the foundation to prepare for her inevitable presidential candidacy. Kamala may well pay some electoral tax as a woman, particularly a black woman, but she has a shot at making that a net neutral because the same advanced outrage machine just does not exist for her. Not in the very personal sense it did for Hillary Clinton anyway.

There is some of this going on up here in the PNW. Volunteer groups to phone bank and canvass in swing states. Texas won this game and has only beaten OU twice since.

[Harris+Walz] The 2024 DNC: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
"Well, honey, her approval rating was like 40%, but a widely-loathed, obese 78 year-old had folks like my friend Creasy Bear so unbelievably cucked that the idea of running anyone else was somehow unfathomable even if it meant near certain victory. So normal people took a look at the weirdos, the aggy, the men wearing spray tans, and the aggy weirdos wearing spray tans, and noped the fuck outta there."

I'm sure he's done the whole blow a rando in an airport mens room right of passage like a good Family ValuesTM Republican. Trap had to open for that I suppose.
