When we were in the red zone, or had a must have 4th down… Sark would put Arch in. The fact that he didn’t trust his starting QB to be in the game in critical moments should tell you about his confidence in Quinn. Sark didn’t want to have a “5 star” on his resume and have to explain it. I get it. I’m sure there were aspects to Quinn’s game that were better. But I’ll trust my eyes. Arch in his limited snaps made a mistakes…. But our offense was light years better and defenses struggled to defend us. Quinn going in the 7th isn’t a good look for Sark. I’m hoping he doesn’t have blind loyalty in the future if a talented backup gives you a better shot to win. Saban has benched NFL QBs if it meant winning. You gotta be a little cut throat Sark!

They were riding high after taking dosn Tenn and Arkie, and thought they could take down another #1 team. They only problem with problem with that is that we're legit. We crushed their hopes. They truly believed that they could walk in and just win. Then whem they lose it's the umps were paid off, not that they couldn't hit because of our alite pitching Ask Georgia and LSU how that worked for them. Georgia came in leading the conference in home runs, and I believe that got none get zero. Auburn thought they were the shit until we fucked then up. 3 top 3-qp teams got a lessen in how great pitching leadas to great run support. Aggy had zero chance of winning. Even if we take the day off and play just rotational pitchers they're still going to lose. Max Weiner is a fucking baller.

So let’s win 8 and ignore those below us yeah? and a win today and we go dormie with aggy?

just revisited the history of the crimea what a mess skipping 1000 years of byzantine/rump successors and 300 years under the mongol horde and the ottomans...... the relevant history starts in 1774 when her hotness CTG took it..... +++ In 1774, the Ottoman Empire was defeated by Catherine the Great. After two centuries of conflict, the Russian fleet had destroyed the Ottoman navy and the Russian army had inflicted heavy defeats on the Ottoman land forces. The ensuing Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca forced the Sublime Porte to recognize the Tatars of the Crimea as politically independent. Catherine the Great's incorporation of the Crimea in 1783 from the defeated Ottoman Empire into the Russian Empire increased Russia's power in the Black Sea area. The Crimea was the first Muslim territory to slip from the sultan's suzerainty. The Ottoman Empire's frontiers would gradually shrink, and Russia would proceed to push her frontier westwards to the Dniester. From 1853 to 1856, the strategic position of the peninsula in controlling the Black Sea meant that it was the site of the principal engagements of the Crimean War, where Russia lost to a French-led alliance. During the Russian Civil War, Crimea changed hands many times and was where Wrangel's anti-Bolshevik White Army made their last stand in 1920, with tens of thousands of those who remained being murdered as part of the Red Terror. In 1921, the Crimean ASSR was created as an autonomous republic of the Russian SFSR. During World War II, Crimea was occupied by Germany until 1944. The ASSR was downgraded to an oblast within the Russian SFSR in 1945 following the ethnic cleansing of the Crimean Tatars by the Soviet regime, and in 1954, Crimea was transferred to the Ukrainian SSR as part of celebrations of the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav, called the "reunification of Ukraine with Russia" in the USSR. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Crimea was formed in 1992, although the republic was abolished in 1995, with the Autonomous Republic of Crimea established firmly under Ukrainian authority and Sevastopol being administered as a city with special status. A 1997 treaty partitioned the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, ending the protracted Black Sea Fleet dispute and allowing Russia to continue basing its Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol with the lease extended in 2010. Crimea's status is disputed. In 2014, Crimea saw intense demonstrations against the removal of the Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych culminating in pro-Russian forces occupying strategic points in Crimea and the Republic of Crimea declared independence from Ukraine following a disputed referendum supporting reunification. Russia then formally annexed Crimea, although most countries recognise Crimea as part of Ukraine. +++ tl/dr + the admiral's geopolitik: 1 the russians/soviets held it for 225 years then created this problem for themselves; the ukranians should never have surrendered their nukes in the 1994 budapest memorandum (NOT mentioned in the crimea history wiki) but at the time with the NPT it made sense - it was not just ukraine that disowned nukes - belarus and kazakhstan did as well 2 the west didn't pitch a fit in '15 when vlad took it back - so use this as the pivot - it's obama's and europe's fault - we should have bitched - we didn't - and it led to this - give z an out 3 give vlad an exit - he gets to "win" the war and keep what he had already stolen but has to gtfo of everything not the crimea 4 europe takes over half the defense 5 europe also has to get their ass in gear and get to zero reliance on vlad's pipelines - some big names rely on vlad for 100% of their natural gas - fix your own geopolitical problem - it's the only way to have any leverage with him until he expires - the pipelines are the reason europe has been kicking the can down the road - dem or pub we can't fix that for them 6 cheeto has already lost his "instant win" and with the rest of his global/domestic bitchassedness and palestine going nowhere a nobel medal is not in the cards - he should walk away and let the adults (macron) handle this

2-1 in baseball is a win just like 14-0 is a win. 2-1 tells me we can win close games and the reason we’re number 1. Only aggy dorks think the number 1 team is only the number 1 team if they win every game 14-0. They’re so stupid and have zero clue what it takes to go an entire season, regional, super regional, cws to win a title. The old moral victory for aggy will be how “sure we got swept but every game was so close we should be #2 in the country”
-
I think so. I’ll take it Into the pen we go. No win possible for Prager

Kavan is a nice pitcher but she doesn't change eye level and doesn't have enough velocity. and yes OU is well coached. every one of their players has the same build. All power. our recruiting has to get better if we are ever going to win it all.

Meh. It comes down to the head coach. If you have the right person in place they can overcome that lack of blue bloodedness. If you have the wrong person in place, all the blue blood in the world isn't going to elevate the program beyond their level of incompetence. A&M can't hire the right coach. I will say being a true blue blood helps keep a coach in place. But it's not a guarantee. If A&M finds the right coach they'll win. In the meantime I'll sit back and watch them flounder. Because Elko ain't it. And I like their odds of doing a bad job of replacing him with Alberts in charge of the hiring process. I don't think they're any more doomed to eternal mediocrity than Texas was from 1984 to 1997 or 2010 to 2022. Texas has more resources, a better location, a better history, and a number of other inherent advantages, but even with those advantages we couldn't win consistently doing those time periods. Yes, they're weirdos, but there's plenty there for the right head coach to tap into. It's just that it isn't so easy to find that guy or keep him once you have him. -
Goddamn, this interview in Time. Not gonna post the entire thing here, but he's....living in an alternate world. https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/ NIH is the world’s largest funder of cancer research— Shouldn’t they be asking those questions? I could give you a list of abuse and waste and fraud, and you don't have any interest in hearing it. I mean, I just see by these questions, just wondering, with all of the bad things that have happened, with all of the things we found, you have no interest in those things. You only have an interest. So what about this? What about that? Our country is going to be strong again because of what we're doing, and this is not a sustainable model, what we're looking at. And I think very importantly, I had a great election. Won all seven swing states, won millions and millions of votes. Won millions of votes. They say it was the most consequential election in 129 years. I don't know if that's right, but it was certainly a big win, and that's despite cheating that took place, by the way, because there was plenty of cheating that took place.

Welp... just a teeny bit better than Anderson, just a teeny bit worse than Austin. Win? Edit... the HS we were zoned to in Houston got an 82. Going to chalk this up as a win.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Hookem2147 replied to petscii's topic in Baseball
When you play a team that bad, especially at home, you lose RPI points, win or lose. I believe Lamar dropped about 50 RPI points by winning last night. That will be closer to 100 RPI points for us, even if we win the game. For reference, 145 RPI points currently separate us from #5 RPI Arkansas. If we play that game, that is fine, but it could be the difference between a top 5 RPI finish and a top 10 RPI finish, depending on how the rest of the season goes. Maybe we go 8-4 in our last 4 conference series and it ends up not mattering, but considering how heavily the committee weighs RPI when seeding teams, it is a risk. The game should never have been scheduled. That is probably the real issue here. -
Seriously - TK + that version of CG is 2 wins in Norman. Whatever we get from Mac would just be a bonus. My guess is Mike gave Cit the opportunity to earn her way into the game 2 start the next 2 weekends + postseason. She earned it. Go ahead and throw her Saturday. Mac can come out of the pen Friday-Sat-Sun as needed. CG and TK are now neck and neck in the team lead in ERA - 1.63 for TK, 1.64 for Cit. I bet Cit would have a lower ERA if she got to throw the 7th yesterday

2025 NHL Playoffs Thread - Let the madness begin!

Kings pp. I felt before these playoffs if we could get by Edmonton we could win it. But I just didn’t think we could beat these fuckers. Long way to go, butt so far so good. -
Yep, we knew winning and moving to the SEC would have an impact. But it looks like season tickets are going to be hard to come by going forward.

Last January Klopp announced he’s leaving. This summer we spent a total of £10m on a guy that has played like 45 minutes in the league. With a new coach we’re going to win the league with a month left in the season. We also resigned VVD and Mo.
-
Luka, even in his pudgy form, is the best player in the league not named Jokic. He can slow down a game and it'll play out to how he wants it to. The guy controls a game better than anyone since, and believe me I hate to invoke this player's name as much as anyone else would, Chris Paul in his prime. Minny does have a deeper team. You guys are better. We have a guy who won a Make-A-Wish dream to play in the NBA in Hayes. I think any level-headed Lakers fan realized that this year was going to be tough sledding in the playoffs without a viable center. You can't just ask a 40 year old LeBron to fill that role consistently in a small ball lineup. I like Reaves quite a bit, but this is a step up for him. It's one thing to Pistol Pete your way through the regular season. Now you have to do it consistently when the lights are the brightest. I would say this series will be a litmus test of sorts for him and whether or not he gets included in trade offers over the summer. I think he can play under the brightest lights, but it's up to him to mentally get over that hump. The best players figure it out. The mentally weak wind up playing on lottery teams their entire career. The Wolves are the better team with an ascendant young star in Edwards. I won't bet against Luka mainly because of seeing him carry Dallas on his back last year. I don't need to tell any of the Mavs fans this since they saw him up close for years. I would bet on LeBron having himself a really good game three followed by the bottom falling out in game 4 for LA and then game 5 deciding who ultimately wins the series.

Not just a series win but a series win going through Gausman and Bassitt. We are close to being back.
-
I hate Texas State, hope we win this so these assholes have to go home mad.
-
This is my problem. I know we’re going to give up some runs on Tuesdays, and I know our Tuesday opponents are going all out to get a win. But Texas State isn’t that good this year, and we should be able to put up some runs
-
Oh for sure. We played like shit most of that 7 game win streak leading up to the losing streak and a few games before that. I think it was a combination of a condensed schedule + pretty much being locked into playoff seeding. I mean after that loss @ Winnipeg early part of March it was going to be damn near impossible to catch them and only got close because of a bunch of lucky wins. But whatever it was, I do think the team flipped the switch and I wasn't sure they could. That doesn't necessarily mean I think we are winning this series. I still favor the Avs unless Miro can somehow get back soon and fall right back into form. But I legitimately thought we might have to flat out steal games maximizing on scoring chances + elite goaltending while being completely outplayed (much like several games during that win streak). We have absolutely held our own so far. As for Rantanen - I don't think we can really evaluate until next year. He's clearly still trying to find his role. Hopefully he can come up with some big moments for us. I felt like the top line with Rantonen/Robertson/Hintz were starting to figure it out a bit and then of course we lose Robertson. Speaking of, definitely missing Robo this series. From ice level, it seems like numerous times there is space and we just need an accurate shot. I could be off but feel like this is the kind of goalie Robo would get to. Oh well, nothing we can do about that now. Need to keep elevating the puck.

Agree with most of this. But I think the Stars' struggles go back further than the most-recent 8-game losing streak. Post-Miro injury, we were snagging points and wins despite getting outplayed for long stretches of games. I think you can probably go back to when fuckhead Mark Stone hurt Miro's knee. That was probably inflection point #1. We were humming along at that point. Then, we make the questionable mega-deal to get Rantanen. The jury is still out on that one in my mind but we'd better get used to him in a Stars sweater as we're married to that guy now. I wonder how things would look if we still had Stankoven instead of Rantanen, who I think can be very effective in the right situation. If you can pair him with the right talent, he can give you a ton of production. (I say that with full realization that not everybody has Nathan MacKinnon just sitting there.) It would be amazing if we can get Miro back at some point in this series. Of course the Avs are likely to get Landeskog back but he hasn't played in a game since the Avs hoisted the Cup back in 2022. It will probably take him far longer to shake the rust and get back into the swing of playing high-intensity playoff hockey.

This. Maybe hold off on your hot sports opinions if you only watched half of a playoff game. I don't know if the losing streak (or play before the streak) just broke a lot of our fanbase or what but that isn't the same team we've seen the last 2 nights. Let's put things in perspective. The Avs are a Stanley Cup Favorite, favorite to win this series and we were home dogs both Saturday and Monday. Without Heiskanen, not only our best player but most important player, we are at a talent and schematic disadvantage against this Avs team. Yet we played a solid game 1 despite outcome (analytics say we outplayed them in game 1 but just didn't get the bounces and didn't finish) and after the first 10 minutes last night we thoroughly outplayed them. Again, the Avs are a really damn good team. I think they are definitely better than last year and it was hard to put them away then when we had both Tanev and Heiskanen. I was concerned our play from the last month would carry over into the playoffs but that obviously hasn't been the case (despite the final score in game 1). So personally, I'm far more optimistic now than I was before the series started despite losing home ice. Avs still rightful favorites but they have to be a little concerned they haven't dominated play so far with the Heiskanen wild card in play for the 2nd half of the series. I'll say this, Harley is turning into a flat out top tier defender before our eyes. He played 28 minutes Saturday and 36 last night. We need Miro back because I don't think he can carry that load all series but his future is really bright. Really liked what I saw out of old guys Benn/Seguin/Dadonov and 4th line. We really need more out of Duchene, Johnston and Rantanen. Miko played a ton last night but still just doesn't seem comfortable on O. It's like he's always looking to make the perfect pass. I'm sure he's going to connect on one at some point, but we need him to just say fuck it and try to get pucks on the net. I feel like the team overall took that approach as the game played on and that is the way we're going to beat these guys. There just isn't enough space in playoff hockey against this team to wait for the perfect play. I'm exhausted today but great night at the barn.

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Hookem2147 replied to petscii's topic in Baseball
They need to operate every series with the mindset of going all out to win the first two games. TBA every game 3 and push all your chips in the first 18 innings every weekend. We are already at 16 conference wins, even if we drop a series or two down the stretch, we have built up more than enough cushion from a hosting standpoint. Hell, a disaster 4-8 finish where we lose every series still gets us to 20 conference wins and a likely national seed. The only time you will need to win 3 games in 3 days is in a regional and if you can draw a very weak 4 seed you can manage that as a 2 game series as well. Everything else (regular season, super regional, CWS) can be managed by doing everything to win the first two games. -
Relative posts from D1 Chat. Does all the SEC insanity among the teams...Aggies zippo, then suddenly on fire, Florida flaming out, but trying to get back in it, LSU in a gumbo of weird weekends, Arkansas, etc. etc....does this make for a more exciting season down the stretch or ....is Texas really possibly gonna win the whole damn thing? Please, please not the latter .I think it makes for a very exciting gumbo, to borrow your word. I think this thing is wide open -- and that's no disrespect to Texas, which has had the best season through 10 weeks and is 100 percent deserving of being ranked No. 1. Certainly Texas could win the whole thing, but so could a bunch of other teams, and certainly Jared Spencer's injury status going forward is important. Horns keep on finding ways to win despite injuries, but man that would be another very big blow Who do you like in the Lone Star Showdown this weekend? A&M is coming in hot, but other teams (Georgia, Auburn) have come into Austin on a hot streak and hit a wall Great question. I do think A&M is playing like an elite team, and I also am certain Jared Spencer will not pitch this weekend against the Aggies. However, I think I still lean the Horns at home. I love their overall vibe and they just seem to keep having guys step up when someone goes down. Maybe Spencer being out will be different? For now, I'm still all in on those guys. I'll say Texas 2/3. After that series win over Arkansas is Texas A&M in the hosting discussion if they keep winning? If they win the LSU and Texas series, you can start having that discussion. But until then .... How and when will we know the number of scholarships each program is deciding to fund next season? Once the house settlement is approved by Judge Wilken (hopefully in the next week?), we will have a lot more clarity. I think once that happens you'll start to see those dominoes fall. I'm fascinated to see what each league allows. I do think there's a groundswell of momentum toward the major leagues allowing their individual schools to do whatever the heck they want, which is good. Are the Vols in trouble in terms of hosting...what do they have to do the rest of the season to make darn sure they host. I think the Vols are still in solid shape as of today, but I do have some concerns about them right now. It felt like the bullpen was vulnerable over the weekend, while Tegan Kuhns struggled in his start. That's now three-straight starts where Kuhns couldn't get out of the third inning. That's problematic for me. I'm still buying stock in this time, but they've definitely taken a step back as of late. The state of baseball at UH is painful to watch and the stunt they tried to pull yesterday was embarrassing. Not asking you to bag on a coach, but what needs to happen for that program to get back to competing for regionals? It feels like a much better job than what the results have shown lately. I think Houston is a really, really good job, especially if you can get some influential donors involved in the NIL space. There's just so much natural homegrown talent in Houston -- talent levels at a program like that should be in a very, very good spot. In addition, I do think that facility as a whole needs some upgrades. The player facilities at UH are fantastic, but the facility itself could use an upgrade. I don't feel like it's fan friendly. I think UH is a sleeping giant. If DVH never wins a national title do you think he will be the best coach to never get a title? There's a man named Mike Martin that was pretty good. He would be second on that list.
