then please enlighten me how she underperformed biden in just about every state? she was an unprimaried, backup replacement after biden’s health deteriorated more quickly than jerry jones’ football teams. she was gilbert coming in for injured colt. you’re defending a candidate that got their ass kicked in embarrassing fashion by donald fucking trump as an excellent candidate? wtf is wrong with you? the topic is that we should have been better, and you arguing against that is a very weak position to take particularly after just losing an election as pivotal as this one seemed to be.

haha right. i’m saying that’s the problem. there were many better alternatives, and that should have been realized long before biden’s near stroke in the debate. it also should have been realized in the days immediately following the debate, before harris was anointed without proper vetting.

in response to comments about the weak candidacy of kamala, there were virtually no questions asked after biden bowed out. it was like, yea let biden spend his twilight years crocheting scarves in delaware, and lets immediately rally around a candidate none of us voted for. she was next in line, but she wasn’t the most qualified, most likeable, most policy oriented, or best positioned to beat trump. there wasn’t any real substance behind it, no agenda other than beat trump, it was all manufactured and it felt fake. even on surly, it felt like contrary opinions weren’t acceptable. the fact that any dissent wasn’t open to discussion was the nail in the coffin. i think we’ve learned that you can’t skip the primary process. we’re preaching democracy but democrats, independents and swing voters didn’t get that from either party in this cycle. somehow, trump honestly spewing his hate, racism, and lies connected better with voters than the biden/harris puppet show.

the general sentiment after biden flubbed the debate was ah shucks! i guess it could be kamala. and yes people clearly didn’t like her, but that was pushed aside and all was forgiven.

i think the biggest issue (and there were several), was a lack of a primary. voters didn’t choose the democratic candidate. kamala was often viewed as an underperformer as vp. and that issue came from biden, his handlers, the dnc, anyone that could have stepped in and said yo, you’re too old for another term. when there was plenty of time and opportunity to do exactly that. it was too little, too late. even so it’s still an utter shock. probably moreso than 2016. even trump supporters seemed not to believe in his chances and were ready to claim voter fraud or whatever the fuck. you’ll hear no comments of voter fraud today after they spent months of diminishing and questioning the legitimacy of our electoral process.

Wordle 1,234 2/6 ⬛🟨🟨⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 i’ve got a new starting word that’s been killing it recently. curious what you all typically start with?

two years have passed since a very fine day, indeed. 49-0

texas 48 ou 20 texas 169 rushing, ou 131 its a little closer than the score though, something like 24-17 at half.

66-10 arch 387

this is exactly right. ewers has earned every benefit of any doubt and is fully capable of leading us to a championship. he may well be a heisman contender, high first rounder. but in a situation where there’s a doubt, and arch does indeed fire off record breaking stats while looking like vince himself, then let the young man work his magic. it’s an unlikely scenario, but not outside the realm of plausibility. you start manning if, and only if, you believe he’s the difference between a national championship or falling just short.

texas 45 csu 3 sark gives ewers one drive in the 3rd up 4 scores, then manning gets some early action. 313 wr yards. heavy on passing to manage the rb workload and get our new wr’s acclimated.

this scenario should have been anticipated many months ago and biden always should have been a one term president. if he’d simply announced he won’t seek reelection when the time was ripe, we’d have a candidate at this point after an open primary, where voters had the ability to make their voices heard. a candidate who would be much better prepared to defeat the democracy killer. biden is 100% going to bow out within the next few days. he’s been effective following up the trump debacle, but dude’s time is done. the next big question isn’t whether or not biden will be the candidate (he won’t). it’s whether or not voters will get any say in who that candidate may be. the general sentiment within the party points to kamala as being the most obvious choice, but she’s arguably not the choice of the majority - except for those who believe she offers the best chance to defeat trump. i’m hoping voters get an opportunity to make our voices heard, and it may well be kamala’s turn. i’m in favor of the next month before the convention being open to debate and other candidates. let’s take a broad look at things and spend the next 3-4 weeks coming to some sort of consensus. i’m convinced that scenario offers more advantages than quickly anointing kamala. so, bring on the debates and controversies for a few weeks. voters will be more engaged if that opportunity is granted.

i’ll predict a tale of two halves, and a much different type of game than many of you are expecting, considering the handful of 2nd collapses we’ve had. we come out a bit flat like the ou sucks game, momentum all on the huskies side. stuffed on runs, a costly turnover, blown coverages. sputtering offense. we’re down 2-3 scores at half. then pk says fuckit and starts sending pressure more frequently and it gets home, the guys settle in, our OL gets nasty, sark opens up the playbook a bit, and we win the turnover battle 2-1. it’s ford and sanders with the big games. we get 3-4 scores in the 2nd and hold them to 1. tex 34 - wash 31 we win, but it won’t be pretty until late in the 4th quarter.

fsu getting hosed was portended all week by the talking heads and committee preaching best teams. it isn’t the most fair decison but it is the correct one. let’s fucking go!!
