Damn, I sometimes forget how hard some people took the Falkland Islands war.

It’s cosmic at this point. For them to not get a goal out of the really good play for a lot of the game is beyond frustrating. That header should have gone in and their goalie made an unreal save on it. The late goal that had the offsides was such a pretty build up and a great finish with just bad luck on the millimeter offsides. Very frustrating but they just can’t finish.

We are definitely going down this year. There is no recovery…they literally are incapable of scoring.

fuck everything.

crazy that this fucking baby is going to make it to every single mls venue on the continent by the time he's two. congrats, koopa!

no way. even a poorly made manhattan wouldn't have that foam on top despite the glass being a match. probably some randomly themed whiskey cocktail of the bar.

i'm pretty sure that eric nahlin and justin wells said some unbelievably stupid shit that idiots are using as ingredients for their koolaid. i suspect the terms "grown ass man" and "now that he's healthy" were used. it is. the oline pass protection was probably the worst of the year but for most of the year, it had been better. and some allowances have to be made when you're lining up against an aranda team. i'm not putting it all on quinn but he was not very good imo. a ton of his yards came on two wide open passes to sanders by himself. but, from memory... panicking into intentional grounding/safety on the first drive. launch the ball out of bounds a mile downfield. don't dink it where there's no where close. horrible pass that missed a wide open sanders up the seam for an easy td with like 6 mins left in first half on third down that leads to settling for a fg. was a big one because that would have made it a two score, 9 point game instead of a 5 point game. he took a really, really bad sack imo in the two minute drill right before the half that killed the drive before it even started on the play hutson got hurt. with any vision on it he rolls to the right and at least gets an incompletion. i definitely won't fault him for the sack on the next play if i remember it correctly as he never had a chance but the first one could have been avoided with any effort or vision. and that first bad sack allowed them to stop the clock and get a td and the lead right before half. the really bad sack/fumble/scoop and score that was his last involved play discussed ad nauseum. they were so, so critical and other than the third bullet, they were not really objectively debatable. but i agree that the oline false starts and ridiculously bad protections did a lot to undermine his chances for success, and whittington really fucked it on one of his better plays. but it is a good example of a game that when i imagine a team without bijan robinson playing savior for the good guys, i have concerns which was my original point. and sorry to all the people on here that don't enjoy football discussions. i am certain there are some threads where you guys can trade some memes and twitter embeds about how we are unbeatable this year and shit. i will post this again to satisfy your koolaid needs.

jesus fucking christ.

now i'm just getting angry thinking about all that shit but the guy that got held was schematically responsible for the zone vacated by the cb. ultimately, the biggest key was the whiff. i do feel like we had have set a record last year with whiffed cornerback blitzes in which we got there but didn't get the result.

do not disagree with the protection issues. but good qbs don't allow themselves to take a 17 yard sack a mile outside of the pocket on FIRST DOWN in the fourth quarter on your own 35 and a four point lead...much less do they cough up the ball for an easy scoop and score that completely smashes all the momentum you had. that is not a good game and the type of terrible decision making i was describing as tempering my koolaid.

that's a lot of concrete, flip flop.

in fairness, the guy responsible for that zone was so blatantly held by the right tackle to spring the qb, that it should have been a -10 play regardless. but you are 100% right about everything you said.

he was so bad that day that after he fucking fumbled the ball at our own 15 for a critical scoop and score that gave baylor a 27-24 lead, sark did the best coaching job of his entire career in my estimation and there was not a single offensive scrimmage play for the rest of the game (from 13:30 left in 4Q) in which he was not told to turn his ass around and give the fucking ball to 5 or 2 and get the fuck out of the way for three straight drives that ended in two touchdowns and the end of the game. i know, i hated myself as soon as i hit submit. on the positive wishcasting/speculation side, i have no reason not to believe that anthony hill will be this year's harold perkins. god damn would that be awesome. and i'm super psyched about our receivers and tight end.

i would posit @ iowa state as hudson's worst game. i never thought i would see so many horrifically thrown deep balls by a qb in my life until the "ewers to worthy weekly shitshow of 2022" bingo game of how badly can one miss a wide open streaking wr was imposed by sark twice a game. @KeysPhoneWallet, i am aware of independent events in probability theory. but sark's coaching isn't a truly independent event in that sense. it's not random. if so, one could extend your logic to there being no basis to believe that charlie strong and david mcwilliams could not lead the 2023 horns to a national championship. sark has shown us who he is. you are choosing to believe in him as a head coach despite the evidence instead of based on it. and that's fine, i hope to fucking god you're right and that the light has finally gone off or that really good recruiting can finally overwhelm like it did for mack. but he has a pretty significant body of work supporting him being a pretty mediocre gameday head coach...particularly after the first quarter of the game. tcu last year was one of the worst coaching jobs i have ever seen. hopefully he's turned an invisible corner but this typical august koolaid shit of "oh, he's finally healthy; oh, he's finally playing his right position; oh, he looks like a grown ass man and been working hard this offseason; oh, show me a loss; oh this totally untested guy is going to be a huge upgrade over a four year started as a cb because he was a lofty recruit; oh, he's finally playing his natural position" stuff has been trotted out there for a long time now. we lost to kansas at home because we couldn't cover a walk-on beau trahan wannabe. to continue my debbie downer shit, i feel pretty similarly about quinn. i currently have no reason to believe in him. he played okay against washington but the baylor game, the okie state game, the tcu game...my god. i am unfairly holding on to this but they all remind me of the SLC-Westlake state championship game and that performance is absolutely stuck in my head. big arm, absolutely no discipline, completely quit on his team, caused countless turnovers, got their asses absolutely pounded despite very little talent gap. if you could bottle up first quarter against alabama, i would be getting really psyched up. but i sat there and watched him basically undo everything bijan did against baylor and thought to myself, what is the optimism based on at this point besides throwing pretty balls in drills? again, would love, love love to be wrong. washington's total defense ranking last year was 60th and we rushed 14 times for 45 yards. it's a single, small sample and it's a bowl game so not terribly helpful but also not a basis to assume we're just gonna keep trucking. never hoped to be as wrong as the three preceding hot takes. 15 wins or bust!

not much for the hand sign discussion but tennessee guy in this got me. hilarious. 100% accurate. gmr has nailed exactly why i think you people with floor expectations of ten wins for a team coached by a guy who has never lost fewer than four games and a team that lost one of the most talented football players ever are slightly delusional. bijan (outside of the o.t. against tech) was utterly extraordinary. if he had the 2005-2008 offensive lines (hell, even the 98-04 lines)...people would remember his name forever. you can't derive much info from a bowl game but anyone who watched us in that game against washington should have immediately thought "holy shit, bijan robinson was incredible." nothing brooks has done so far has bolstered any notion that he is even 70% of what bijan was. our pass blocking line last year was very respectable. their true blue run blocking was fucking horrible across the board. they should certainly be better this year but they have a long ass way to go and if we are going to win ten games, the line has got to make that jump. on defense, i remain skeptical about every single element of it until we can stop tech from converting 3rd and 30 and 4th and 25 and put in a little effort in the second half of games. until we can keep punk ass washington from going 13/23 on 3rd and 4th down, i will reserve going beyond hope. really hope anthony hill is a game changer.

now that vivek has garnered some attention, i suspect we will start hearing all about intepirdine and axovant. if anyone else on that stage was not a completely shameless clown, they would have strategically played to the maga olds by pressing him on his investment in and defense of martin shkreli and his "victimless crimes" instead of playing the he's inexperienced/not a politician card that is so effective amongst republican cult of trump members.

for some reason, my link on to the street view above is fucky. not where i set it. what's funny is someone already put a pic of the plane burning on the tail's page on flightaware. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/RA02795

ideal place. go to google maps and look at the area where the incident occurred. nothing down there, very little collateral damages. here's streetview of the road right below where the plane went down. https://goo.gl/maps/TV62XhhXSdNuQXVE7

no exceptions amongst the russian surface to air missiles. the 40NE6E, 48N6DM, 48N6E3, 48N6E2, 9M96E and 9M96E2 are all active radar honing. that's why they all come with these:

oh wow, the yankees are in last fucking place.

Fucking laughed my ass off throughout Fisk. Absolutely fantastic.

Thanks. Was thinking this one for brown. https://www.jean-rousseau.com/us/shop/watch-strap-vintage-brown-calf/972003-vintage-calf-brown-us/
