  1. Is the new right wing vision of the US to be some kind of autarkic pariah state? The new North Korea? It's crazy. I am starting to understand just normal enforcement of our immigration policies is considered "open borders" to them. Just allowing anybody to enter the country at all is bad I guess.
  2. And people listen to this guy? Back in my day being a virgin meant you were a loser. Damn kids and not getting laid.
  3. Well now he knows how I felt this time last year.

    Or he could, you know, just be lying about claims being down.
  5. Because teams are allowed to play FCS and G5 schools. This would only work if we separate the P4 and disallow games against anybody outside of the P4. Probably then the G5 and FCS would merge. I doubt something like that would ever happen. It would cost a lot of institutions a lot of money and destroy the bowl system. So under the current system I think what we have is the best we can reasonably expect, with a little tweaking at best.
  6. No more than a preseason game diminished a NFL teams brand. If Notre Dame made this an established policy I might admire it...maybe. But not as a temper tantrum for their 2 loss team that didn't beat anybody. There are clearly rules for Bama and rules for everybody else.
  7. I think what frustrated me most about 2023 FSU was that if they had beaten Georgia they would have been unbeaten and just defeated one of the best teams in the country. They could have made a play for a split championship for the last time before the 12 team playoff. Somebody would have given it to them. And they just...didn't give a shit and didn't bother and just got slaughtered. Pretty pathetic. They had a chance to do something special.
  8. I don't disagree except I just don't think we had a good enough season to be indignant at being left out. Disappointed? Sure. But this wasn't some legendary Texas team that got screwed. This was a pretty good Texas team that probably wasn't going to win the national title anyway.
  9. I have talked to former UT players who assured me they all want to play and win far more than we want to watch them play and win. I believe it. But I understand business decisions.
  10. Yeah. I used to think it mattered on some level but I think history has demonstrated it really doesn't. Which is unfortunate. I used to get pretty fired up for every random Bowl Game. That 1994 Sun Bowl was awesome, we all lost our shit we were so glad to win and Priest Holmes was awesome. But those days are over.
  11. Yes. It does nothing. It only makes us feel better. I do care though. I want us to win. I probably shouldn't but I do. I think the best you could say is it is good propaganda in a sport still dominated by vibes.
  12. Yep. If you want to win the national title you cannot lose games. Especially 3. Yes some shittier teams made it ahead of us but we don't have much room to complain. We could have easily lost a few more as well.
  13. Can't wrap everybody in bubble wrap. Same shit could happen in practice or any scrimmage.
  14. Disagree on Arch. Arch needs to play games. He is a first year starter and still has a ways to go.
  15. Yes. I also want a championship and a trophy. Sure it might be a giant Cheeze-it but damn it it's a trophy. I realize this is irrational but I cannot help it.
  16. We won't talk about how FSU's great bowl game went.
  17. Well that one is less funny to me for some reason.
  18. I wish I had your optimism. We might get a nice 2018-ish result if the election is fair. I just don't see a massive wave sweeping this away. It is so entrenched both culturally and institutionally at this point.
  19. Very much in favor of it...to the right people.
  20. Valmy77 replied to Pancho's topic in Cloak Room
    Fair. I may have misremembered how things were. I recall 30+ point beat downs from the late 90s.
  21. Valmy77 replied to Pancho's topic in Cloak Room
    Yeah I don't think he is a centrist either. My main concern with him is he doesn't seem to channel working class rage like Platner does...but we shall see.
  22. Cal's season is one of the most nonsensical things I have seen in a long time. They lose 34-0 to San Diego State and get destroyed by Stanford...yet take down Louisville and SMU and finish 7-5 and get a vacation in Hawaii.
  23. Valmy77 replied to Pancho's topic in Cloak Room
    I think people are fed up with the current system and are willing and eager to take chances on anybody promising big changes. So running some centrist status quo warrior will not get much traction.
  24. Valmy77 replied to Pancho's topic in Cloak Room
    To be fair to Kirk and Sanchez the Democrats were losing elections by like 30 points back in that era. It didn't really matter what they did.
  25. How is it better? We got royally fucked in 2008. And intentionally by tons of petty fucks in the coaching profession and the media. The computers factored in tons of irrelevent nonsense. And now I am supposed to be outraged and want to bring that back since our 3 loss team didn't make it? Fuck that.
