  1. Another nail in the coffin for soybean farmers. Dipshits voted for this. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinese-buyers-book-least-10-argentine-soybean-cargoes-sources-say-2025-09-23/ Chinese buyers booked at least 10 cargoes of Argentine soybeans after Buenos Aires scrapped grain export taxes, three traders said on Tuesday, dealing another setback to U.S. farmers already shut out of their top market and hit by low prices. Argentina's temporary tax move boosts the competitiveness of its soybeans, prompting traders to secure cargoes for fourth-quarter inventories in China, a period usually dominated by U.S. shipments but now clouded by Washington's trade war with Beijing. ... "Every time China turns to South America instead of the U.S., soybean farmers and our farm families here at home lose out," said Caleb Ragland, a farmer from Magnolia, Kentucky, and president of the American Soybean Association. "Without a trade deal that removes retaliatory tariffs, farmers like me are left watching key opportunities slip away." ... China, the world's biggest buyer of soybeans, has yet to purchase any U.S. soybean cargoes from its autumn harvest, traders have said. "These deals were done last night after Argentina's decision on export tax," said one of the traders, declining to be identified as they were not authorised to speak with media. "It clearly means that China doesn't need U.S. beans." On Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone call but neither side reported any update on agriculture, further squeezing Chicago soybean futures already near five-year lows. After Argentina scrapped its export tax, Chicago soybean futures set a six-week low on Tuesday. "China is trying to avoid the U.S. during our export window," said Ted Seifried, chief market strategist for Zaner Ag Hedge in Chicago. "The timing is really perfect for them." Earlier this month, Reuters reported that China had nearly completed soybean purchases for October shipment and booked around 15% of its November needs, all from South America. By that time in previous years, traders said, China would have bought 12-13 million tons from the U.S. for September-November shipment.
  2. What's the biggest cause of this? He suddenly forgot how to coach? Or they don't have their shit together and/or don't have the money to compete in the new NIL world?
  3. Texaggy is full of unreasonable sunshine idiots. Surly is full of unreasonable doom and gloom idiots.
  4. Pipe dream. OSU is going to hire Will Stein. Jalen Lott will decommit and promptly commit to Texas. DMoore will transfer to Texas.
  5. This is how a person ruins any kind of legacy that he might have had. Abandoning all self respect to chase pussy.
  6. Why does every coach who's on the hot seat sound like Mack Brown?
  7. The SWC died so that we could all join get back together 30 years later.
  8. I knew when I clicked on this thread today that I would regret it.
  9. Was at the game. Arch made good throws on time and made good reads. The only complaint I had was on the drive when we kicked the first field goal. As he was scrambling he missed a wide open receiver, I cannot remember who it was, under the field goal. Other than that I'm happy as shit with his performance.
  10. Don't want to piss people off, don't play like complete dogshit for 3 games. If last game were an anomaly, there's no booing. 3 games of dogshit deserves boos for Sark, Arch, and the whole offensive unit.
  11. Again, when you are using more arms and hands, it adds complexity to the swing in that you have to have your body, arms, and hands all in sequence to consistently hit that low point just in front of the ball. The key is consistently. That's a lot of variables. He's probably changing your swing to be less armsy and handsy. Strong grip, drop hands, weight forward, turn through the ball by firing your left hip up and back. There are fewer variables in that golf swing for controlling low point. But without seeing your golf swing and what he's teaching, who knows?
  12. Actually you are right. But you are in a small minority as you have to be very good with your low point and be able to rotate through, clear your left hip to shallow out your swing while keeping your shaft lean and downward AoA . When Tiger told Scottie that he doesn't take a divot when he's puring the ball, Scottie gave him a WFT took. It can be done, it takes years of practice to do it and bit of natural ability.
  13. I have seen some really ugly swings, especially from older guys, who regularly score in the 70s, off the red and white tees. They aren't long, but they are in the middle of the fairway and know how to hit mid irons and long hybrids/woods into greens. Most importantly, they have impeccable short games and putting. If you immediately want to score better, be better at putting. Then get better at chipping/pitching inside 50. Those two things do not involve the pain of changing your swing.
  14. It's about compressing the ball. Picking means you are probably flipping with your hands, which if your timing is off can lead to being very inconsistent. Pickers usually do not compress the ball. You cannot compress the ball if you don't take a divot. Changing a picker to compressing the ball involves more body rotation especially at the hips and less arms & hands. Most likely your body is not used to that rotation, especially your lower back. You are exercising core muscles you haven't activated in decades. The question is, are you at a point in your life and game where you want to drastically change how you hit that little white ball? As you experienced, the swing change involves changing how your whole body "swings" the club. That's going to take some time to develop the flexibility and muscles. But...if you make the change, you will be more consistent and be much longer through every club.
  15. We wandered the desert of barely mediocrity for almost 2 decades because we had shit QBs after shit QBs after shit QBs. It all started with GDGG. Arch, get your fucking shit together. Sark, plug the fucking plug quick if he stays shitty. We cannot let this shit turn into a GDGG situation which gets everyone fired for decades.
  16. Searched the dude's name and nothing came up. SIAP. Christians, have you had THE TALK with your kids? No, not THAT TALK. The other TALK, about black people. https://www.mediaite.com/media/texas-pastor-urges-parents-to-have-the-talk-with-kids-about-black-people-30-times-more-danger/ Texas Pastor Joel Webbon went viral this week over a clip in which he urged white Christian parents to have “the talk” with their children about the “danger” of black people. If you’re a Christian, white parent who loves the Lord and loves your children, then you need to have “the talk.” The talk that we’re referencing is the talk that takes your children, according to their maturity, at the proper time, the appropriate time, and says there are certain parts of town that you cannot go and there are certain people that you cannot be around, right? If there is someone who is black in our church, and they’ve been in our church, and we know them and they love the Lord Jesus Christ, great. We’re not talking about that person. But we’re talking about when you go into a crowd of people, if you go into a crowd of strangers, and they’re white strangers, there’s some danger. If they’re black strangers, there is 30 times more danger. Them’s the facts. Earlier in the podcast, Webbon referred to an X post in which he said that “a white person is 31 times more likely to be victimized by a black person than the other way around.” The pastor did not include a link or citation for his figures. FBI crime data showed that in 2019, there were 566 black-on-white murders compared to 246-white-on-black murders. There were 204.3 million white Americans and 41.1 million black Americans in 2020, per the census. “It is actually a failure of your parental duty,” Webbon continued. “White parents, please hear me — if you teach your children growing up, if you lie to them and say all people and all races of people in our country are the same, they are not. You are actually depriving your child of factual, truthful information that could save their life.”
  17. I've seen this movie. It doesn't end well for us.
  18. Found an amazing holy shit subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/FellingGoneWild/
  19. Well, I believe in the soul. The cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
  20. Damn nature, you scary af!
  21. I cannot imagine cheating so that you would will the rock skimming championship? Like that was going to get the dudes more imaginary pussy than they previously were getting. Cheating scandal rocks world stone skimming championships. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp982r99rrmo The world stone skimming championships have been rocked by a cheating scandal, after several competitors were disqualified for tampering. More than 2,200 people, from 27 countries, attended this year's event on the tiny island of Easdale off the west coast of Scotland. Rules state that stones must come from naturally occurring island slate, however some were found to have been ground into a "suspiciously circular" shape to help them bounce on water. Organiser Dr Kyle Mathews told BBC News that the offenders had "held their hands up" and apologised. Entrants choose their own stones and judges use a measuring device, the "ring of truth", to ensure they are no bigger than three inches in diameter. Each competitor is allowed three skims and stones must bounce at least twice on water before sinking. Stones are measured by judges using the "ring of truth" Dr Matthews, also known as the "Toss Master", told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland that judges heard "rumours and murmurings of some nefarious deeds". "There was a little bit of stone doctoring," he said. "They had shaped it so that it was perfectly circular and fitted our three inch measurer. "As it's a piece of metal, I don't think we can blame it too much. "The problem was we didn't just notice at the time that they were suspiciously circular."
  22. Mostly? Sark can't call the plays that he wants because his QB can't make a fucking throw.
