  1. I am going to use it to do some work as an historian in a South Pacific country.

    Brazil

    I think they'll hold it together and Bolsonaro will die in prison. Democracy is messy, but there are millions and millions of people there that want democracy and are willing to go to bat for it in a way we are not here.
  3. Water is wet and all that fun stuff. I would trade all 78 million of them for just a few of the Brazilians out in the streets across their country reminding the politicians that Bolsonaro messed around and found out and that there will not be a repeat of the amnesty mistake again. They are what a patriot looks like.
  4. He’s not losing any money or having to experience much in the way of misery, but Nick Bosa suffering a season-ending ACL tear made me smile. I hope he rehabs and the first play that comes back next year results in tearing his other ACL. Absolute maga trash, he is.
  5. I would be cool with all of us that have autism getting to line up and hit this moron in the face with a bear skull. These are the absolute dumbest people our nation has ever seen.
  6. Same here. Don't care. He's gone and in the dustbin of history.
  7. I always kinda tap-danced around him because he’s exceptionally quick with the personal vitriol. Then he usually chides people he thinks he’s superior to. The most intelligent person in the room never has to attempt to remind you of their brilliance. People who do that are never among the smartest folks in society. Between that repetitive act and intentionally staking out positions on obscure things, as well as positions diametrically opposed by most of the people posting here is, well, just not cool. Quoting and responding to those posts just encourages that behavior.
  8. As many of you here know I am in the midst of getting a masters in World War II History from ASU. This has been a fantastic journey with the classes I have had. Right now I am doing a World War II in Literature class with Professor Horan. Her correspondence back and forth has been really helpful in better understanding what I have read. I would highly suggest reading The Plague by Albert Camus. Such an amazing work and glad I have now read it. It’s an allegory to France having been occupied by the Nazis. I think that book would be a really good read for many of us considering what we are witnessing. I’d also suggest reading the works of Gabriela Mistral. Her fight against fascism in Spain, South America and Europe before and during World War II is a good guide for what we should do as well. Find a bit of spare time and read what I mentioned if you can. There is hope in their words.
  9. Kick was what you want on an onside. Great game to watch. Will come back here again. Matsuzawa is going to get a shot to kick on Sundays with his leg and accuracy.
  10. Oh my God he dropped it. Right there in his hands.
  11. Touchdown! Perfect pass. Need two now!
  12. Alejado takes off and keeps the chains moving.
  13. One last chance for the Bows. At the Bulldog 36.
  14. I will say this for Alejado.. There is some talent there. His line is just not good, at all. I believe he’s starting as a true freshman as well. Chang is a pretty good coach to learn from as well. He just needs some good line play. Correction. He’s a redshirt I believe. Enrolled early so I think he’s 18 years old right now. Pretty good poise for having to run for his life all night.
  15. Might just do it for this one. Killer pick 6.
  16. Finally hits from 27. Solid .250 average on the night. Kicking camps really paid off for this kid.
  17. Bulldogs INT. Inside the 15. What a great play.
  18. Jesus tap dancing Christ Fresno’s kicker misses AGAIN after Coach Chang froze him with a Timeout.
  19. Matsuzawa from 52 yards. GOOD!
  20. That catch was clutch!
  21. Fresno has been the better team by quite a bit. They should be up more than just one point if they had a collegiate level kicker instead of the Make-A-Wish kicker they brought. Crowd is pretty cool here though and the weather is absolutely perfect tonight.
  22. Hawai’i is up 9-7 to start the 2’d half and their offense has not scored for them yet. I am actually having a great time standing down here watching the game. Warner’s son has had an alright game for the Bulldogs. Still waiting to see Matsuzawa kick a field goal though!
  23. Suck it Baylor!
  24. I think we beat Baylor. We can run the football and Baylor has an FCS-level run defense. Leavitt and Tyson should have at least one big play in them. I think we have to score at least 35 to win. Should be fun to see if we can get after Robertson.
