Olin baby! Let's check in on the metaphor. Meyer's a smart guy. You can't go wrong quoting a famous coach. Just like baseball. Let's see how it goes. [After five paragraphs of statistical evidence to prove that national champions almost always have good defenses. I'm glad somebody finally looked into that.] Ouch. Olin isn't bright, but he is dogged. And he always brings it home to the opening metaphor. Even if it's not like baseball!

When he went on his murder spree, how did he not shoot himself in the dick?

The face you make when you have no idea what the smart people are talking about, and you don't want to reveal it.

You heard the sound of the depth finder sinker gliding down down down. No bottom here.

He landed in a great gig for a "writer" of his caliber. He covered HS football at a real paper, the AAS. He washes ashore in College Station and takes a beat position with TexAgs where he churns out template stories of the type you saw in sports pages 40 years ago. He then has his one brilliant move. "I'll drive to Austin right now and ask Schlossnagle the hard questions!" I assume that's made him an Aggie legend granting him job security pumping up the Aggies and damning the devils in Austin. He's overachieved, I suppose.

Transexuals are ruining sports! Some commit crimes! Kamala Harris approves of this just because we say so! Make her deny it! Having been a prosecutor, my disposition towards crimes committed by anyone is clear. As for transexual athletes, perhaps rules need to be adopted. That's complicated. I will tell you that there are few things more despicable and low than picking out a group of people for your followers to hate just to drum up votes. I don't think there is ever a good reason for such shameless bullying. Ask Mr. Elon Musk or Donald Trump to deny that this is a hateful strategy that is bad for this country. We're not going back to that. My man.

I was given 23 and Me as a gift. I produced the spit, but it didn't work. They sent another kit, but I didn't bother. The spitting is sorta gross and I don't care that much about my geneology. It's all mostly Northern European from what I can tell. I sort of worry about people checking out their genetic history on a wide scale because it seems like it could fuel racism through taking pride in your heritage. There is no pride to be had there. It's like the Aggies and the SEC. They puff themselves up about being in a great conference even though they have done noting themselves to add to the prestige. One other thing, I'm surprised nobody who has mentioned their tests have any Ashkenazi Jewish blood. Just about everybody I know has some tiny percentage. I may, too, for all I know. I'd be fine with that or anything else. My phenotype is white man, so what do I have to worry about? At least that's the Trump standard. "She doesn't look Black."

Ahhh, Olin. He jumps right in with insight and eloquence: His illumination of the obvious using the Godfather goes on for another four paragraphs. Okay. We should watch muscles. Thanks, Olin. I wonder what he thinks stigma means Hmmmm. You may be right, Olin. Fresh take. Now, bring it on home, baby.

Jerk marinade is a euphemism I've never heard before. Also, is anyone else skipping any post that features EBITDA?

And looks great doing it!

Ladies and gentlemen, this man, this brawny man, gets paid to write. Other college coaches operate on the Random Theory where they make dislocated decisions and hope for the best. Jimbo was one of these. He would sometimes order his staff to go turn on the fog lights in their cars. He also considered adding a ton of sugar to the pool party pool. Another time, he pinned his future on Haynes King. Don't let lack of results fool you! Stick with Elk! He's got a method! And electrolytes! Poor Brauny, no invitation to the party. This whole thing about having players meet to form a bond is revolutionary. Elko knows methods. Wasn't it you and your pals at William's Office and Fight Club that said even when a recruit commits it's not over? A&M is still right there in the fight and to stay tuned? I guess Brawny was too lazy to check out the baseball thing, but he does reveal Elko's unique plan to recruit NFL players. If he pulls that off, I think A&M could actually be good enough to lose an SEC Championship Game! Yes, the plan is to pursue your second or third choice. It's genius, I tell you, genius! You seem to be fretting, you brawny man you. You have no worries. Elko has mitigation plans in place as part of his method!

we There's no requirement to stoop to the level of Donald Trump with every response or attack. Her answer, I believe, was effective and couldn't have been improved. If the high road works, take it.

She's a deft debater. She's getting advice on many things and likely input on this, but Harris has spent her life applying logic and persuasion. She recognizes a weakness in an opponent and knows to pick her ground to fight. Is Trump afraid to debate you? (slight pause for effect and then the soft sure voice) He should be. It's small but telling how she managed that moment. I've definitely gone from okay with Harris to enthusiastic about her and the irresistable march of the New Guard. Oxygen has re-entered the room. The black-out curtains are pulled from the windows. At last, it feels sorta new and fresh.

The interview has only just come to my attention. After watching Trump play his usual routine telling Black people who is Black and his limp dick, cowering fall back to calling women nasty and rude, I was thinking they got nothing. Then I saw Habba and the idiot on FOX. Their failure to find any legit angle of attack on Kamala is practically an endorsement of her. Their crazy dog whistling about your nigras running for office teamed with claims that she is not actually Black would be laughable if their part of the electorate could recognize the absurdity and vileness. The DEI attack and this degenerate desire to designate racial groups reeks of Himmler. In todays world, it's difficult to determine race because, thankfully, lovers are crossing racial lines. As I wrote earlier, are we about to hear the word quadroon? Will someone force these racists to define Black? I think the wings of their plane are on fire. I'll enjoy the fiery crash.

The best of Anywhere, USA! It's like never leaving home!

Fake letter season begins?

France set the bar for opening ceremonies to the Olympics. It's not even close. They were inclusive of other countries and many aspects of modern life. They blended old and new with genius. It was a fantastic show. I'm sure your kids were thinking, "Hey, I came here to try to watch an athletics opening ceremony! Where is the painfully slow march of athletes into a stadium and the endless drone of the TV host? I don't need no fun, thought-provoking, visually rich, unique multi-media presentation centered on a river through one of the world's most beautiful cities!" Your kids wouldn't have last a half hour of the traditional snooze fest. I know that I never do. Wouldn't they do this even if choosing a governor were a possibility rather than a certainty? Just seems like smart planning to me. Also, I'm not at all anxious about the choice. It will seem like a big deal for one day, then we move on. Those cities and other towns who carry the weight of immigration from the south should not have that responsibility. This is a federal issue, and the feds should pony up with money and some sort of rational, new plan. Money is the thing the government cannot be cheap about; it's cruel in its disposition towards the people coming here. This is a social services problem not a military one. Part of the problem is slow processing and court decisions due to overworked agents and judges. Create a federal presence large enough to lift every source of burden to local communities off of them. Set minimum standards for detention housing that are at least humane. Increase the number of agents and courts although greater social service presence should relieve some of things the agents are forced to do such as providing immediate care for exhausted and possibly ill immigrants. None of this will happen because of the malign way Trump has vilified immigrants. He should be tossed in a volcano for that alone. Wow. The GOPs have found the way to fourth-rate sophistry. Yes. The last thing you want to see in the potential leader of the country is the confidence of a winner. Also, you're overusing ain't as an intensifier. Careful, don't want to drift too far towards old politics. This is more of a tank battle than the civilized and wise discourse you suggest and I lament.

Why do you hate our troops? The Texas Guard bravely faces dangerous no-goodniks from the shit hole countries south of our holy border. They do this to protect us from terrifying scum like this: We show them in silhoette because their visages are too scary! Why isn't the Texas Guard opening fire?

Yay, CNN online! Pushing lies. Get this writer into the TV news office.

No need for comment. The thread below was directly under the thread above. This thread was a few slots below the above.

I was unclear, evidently. That was my point. I better proof that. ETA It says what I want it to. There was a post right after mine that was more direct. Saying they made a choice suggests they could as well be gay or closet homosexuals. Maybe I just should have gone concise and direct in the way you do.

But I've been in charge of special media for forty years! I used to send out the faxes! You can't replace me!

They'd already lied about it not being part of the campaign. Why should anyone take this denial seriously? That's a map to hell in your hand. I disavow this map. But you still have it. No, I don't... It's just not the positive that they assumed it would be with the same inability to read a room as individual Trumpists who bleat on and on thinking everyone must surely agree with them.

Women romancing women. Felatio between males. They extended the 15 minutes to the rest of the evening.
