  1. Yep. And in Florida, student fees go to athletics. It’s insane and higher ed/college sports needs to get a hard reset.
  2. Maybe they shouldn’t have hired the Hugh Freeze experience and gone full Righteous Gemstones. Auburn being bad and losing close, boring games is a great SEC experience.
  3. A lot of fan bases are going to be really disappointed and some mid coaches are going to get some crazy paydays. Wait till Auburn enters the chat.
  4. A few undefeated teams are a bit higher than likely to finish but that’s the nature of mid-season. - GT is good but has played an abysmal schedule. They have a weak back half, too. They’ve been playing on the edge but it’s possible they will be undefeated when Georgia comes to town, and likely get rolled. ACC champ game will be tough for them, too. They are maybe a top 15 level team. - BYU will likely fall to at least Tech or Cincy. Big XII is a knife fight. - I think A&M is a top ten team, not a top 5 team. I do think we will get one of LSU, Mizzou, and Texas and maybe can get a favorable draw in the CFP. LSU may be the best bet as we have done much better against non-mobile QBs and Vandy showed what a mobile QB and short passing game can do. - ND is a top ten team but will they get credit with the rest of their schedule? They are playing as good as anyone aside from Ohio, Indiana, and Bama. Also, why does anyone want CFB without SC-ND every year? Get it done, Trojans! - Vandy-Mizzou will be a great game for keeping CFP hopes alive. How crazy is that!
  5. European roadworthineas tests are no joke. I would estimate that over 50 percent of U.S. cars on the road would fail a German inspection. I don’t know if Musk is the dumb one or if he’s just using this as a grift. Regardless, geological time is hard. 450 million years is twice as long as the dinosaurs were around (including several mass extinction events). Humans evolved 300k years ago. It’s just not worth thinking about. We need to gameplan how to keep our planet habitable for the next 200.
  6. Disagree on the bonehead stuff, kind of. He’ll sometimes get greedy and tends to sail the ball on long passes. He doesn’t make a lot of bad dangerous throws.
  7. Green is a real talent and it’s a shame he’s on this team. Multiple times that he got out of pressure and made a play.
  8. Decently crisp game day called for chili. Chili blend is puya, ancho, arbol. Meat is cubed chuck and pork 2-1 ratio. No tomatoes. And a quesadilla toasted in cast iron with a bit of tallow.
  9. The Hoggies have had script helmets for decades. Maybe a few years broken up but that’s the classic look, although the yellow highlights are relatively new.
  10. BBC broadcast a documentary where the narrator was the son of a Hamas Deputy Minister and didn’t bother to note that in the broadcast. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c629j5m2n01o
  11. For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.
  12. Waiting is never a viable strategy with this admin, it’s an invitation to more pressure.
  13. October 7 attacker arrested in Louisiana. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/gaza-man-arrested-alleged-involvement-october-7-2023-terrorist-attacks
  14. What are you talking about man, he has double digit playoff wins. He took JMU to the FCS NC game and semis twice, he has some other wins too.
  15. Hard, hard, hard disagree and the statistics back me up. Across cultures, religions, continents rising levels of income, educational attainment, employment, and economic opportunity goes right along with declining birthrates and lower/later marriages. And that even holds true within countries— higher income and options means fewer kids. It holds true despite incentives and benefits to mothers; and in fact the most generous governments see some of the lowest birthrates. A lot going on with this but one of the big reasons is introducing other options, choices, and stability for women. They can afford to be selective with mates and when they do select, there is a preference for high-investment parenting into fewer children. The data are pretty clear, for the most part early marriage and lots of kids (and for that matter lots of kids) is poverty behavior.
  16. It does but the thing is that Bloomington is a Rockwell painting. Fantastic town and place to live.
  17. Yeah, and the earlier “good” version is not a loss leader as Vegas describes. Costco’s hot dogs are a loss leader. They get you in the door and build good will and then you buy other stuff that you need that is profitable. Enshitiffication would be if Costco sold hot dogs for a dime while overpaying for wieners at every producer so long as they only sold to Costco. Then, when the only place you can get a hot dog is Costco, they add a small dollop of shit to the “basic dog” but left it off if you upgraded to the 20 dollar dog— and at the same time reduce what they pay to the weiner producers. This is basically how big tech operates.
  18. Thursday night happy hour was lit, but all the co-workers have gone home I see.
  19. Just who Murray is. Before he shifted to caring about Gaza, he was denying that the GRU was behind the poisoning in Salisbury and was blaming NATO for Russia’s invasion. He’s a real lying asshole. FWIW I think the stats are made up as a quick search of his Twitter has him citing different numbers. I think that screenshot of his is doctored. And it of course we don’t know how many dead Ukrainian kids are in Mariupol and the tweet doesn’t mention the over 35K kidnapped Ukrainian children. Almost anytime you see someone comparing these two, it’s someone trying to deflect for Putin.
  20. That article is just about the groundwork for a UNSC resolution to authorize the force. Not the composition of it. I am very, very skeptical you will see any Western forces actually inside of Gaza.
