    When someone says Biden hasn't done a good job, ask for specifics

    I didn't say he's done a poor job.  I actually don't think Jimmy Carter did a poor job either but I'd hedge my bets against him as the nominee as well. 

    The question is, if the presumptive nominee for some reason wouldn't be able to run, would you be more or less excited by the replacement.  I actually like Kamala more, and she is one of my least favorite alternatives.

    Hard to believe I'm a complete outlier on that. 

  2. The only way not to be consumed by Trump news over the next year is for the Dems to  pivot to a younger candidate.  And that means younger than Elizabeth Warren for fucks sake.  Newsom, Whitmer, I don't really care.  

    Biden was a fine door stop but time to move on, and that means someone outside of his administration.  And someone other than an Abrams who has lost more than they've won.

    The Republican fucksticks need to be crushed and we need someone young at the top of the ticket.

    People need to be agrressive about moving Joe along.

    Had we won that game, it would have been a travesty to Stanford and their fans.

    I don't know about that.  To me it felt like the  first game all over again.  I think Stanford folks realized they had gotten the benefit of the calls up to that point.  This one was brutal precisely because it was starting to feel like Texas was going to close it out.  At least to me.

    Check back in two years when the Pac explodes and Stanford is relegated to thr MWC

    I'll actually check in daily.  But feel free to tickle the date. 

    And hopefully my two favorite teams will both host Super Regionals next year, so we don't have any lighting/broadcast issues.

    He should be embarrassed for his university.  2 OF's lose a ball in the (no) lights??   our light standards are twice as tall.  no wonder that shit kept happening in the regional.

    Come on dude.  Have a little pride.

    Stanford is the best all around university in the country -- by far.  We don't do embarrassment.  And the baseball field is quaint by big time standards but wonderful. 

    I'm not happy -- I was rooting for Texas just a bit more than Stanford.

    Would have rivaled Duvall as a great character actor if he’d had same longevity.

    Plus a better country singer.  The Coen Bros wrote wrote an entire screenplay plus some original songs for what they hoped would be Cazale staring as "Old Towns Van Zant".

  7. Oh I see someone already explained it all up above.  There was still talk of the Griffins when I got there.  Or Griffons.  No one really knew what that was about.  And I remember "Steaming Manhole Covers", not "Steaming Manholes" -- although the latter would have been a much stronger statement.

  8. The Cardinal is the color.  Basically Stanford Cardinal Red.   The Tree is technically the mascot of the band.   When we lost the Indian mascot there was some vote and Robber Barons was allegedly the new favorite.  When I got there the joke was that most students wanted the new mascot to be Steaming Manhole Covers.  (Based on steaming manhole covers around campus).   But nobody really gives a shit and I haven't bothered to look any of this up   Band members now and again dress up as Catholic Cardinals. 

    I've always liked the color, and I've always liked the S with the tree on it, and I think our football and baseball uniforms are generally pretty cool.  Although I've always wished they tried to do some play on the St. Louis Cardinal-on-the-bat logo.
