One thing I meant to mention was the amount of support I observed driving my trailer from Comfort to Ingram. You cannot go a quarter mile without a smoker billowing, Webbers, pop tents, coolers full of tamales, etc. All just good people, strangers and residents alike, just trying to help. Each and everyone one of these places had someone waving a sign that said, “FREE FOOD AND WATER”. No questions, no nothing. Just please allow us to help in our own way. I almost had to pull over. It’s fucking dusty right now just typing this out.

How are we ever going to get a leg up on those geniuses? They're so freaking clever, it's no wonder they dominate in every way

Bumping this thread. Headed to Kaanapali next week. Anyone been there lately? Is anything happing yet in Lahaina? Also looking for general recs on things to do with the family which is comprised of me and the Mrs and three hs/college age girls who mostly will want to sleep late and not do anything physical. But we will make them do things that are worth it. Appreciate any recommendations. It’s been 20+ years since I was there last.

No idea. I don't want to ask him either. I just got back from NB HEB. Grabbed two big ass Prime briskets and am going to get them on the smoke first thing in the morning and then take them over to his team's hotel in Boerne tomorrow night when they get back for the day. Not sure what I'll hear, but I'm bracing for anything. I just don't know how these guys deal with this stuff. I'm damned near ready to end it when one of my dogs dies. lI just don't see how.

At 1am, only loud ass sirens were going to do any good. What percentage of people are up checking weather updates at that time?

Same. The song we always played at camp is on a loop in my head: Friends (are friends forever.) I’m just gutted. I know many of you are too. I need to watch an action movie or something. hugs to all…💔

We got our notifications from the school that they lost two and another two from our tennis/swim club. They are all being proactive with offering counseling.

Overall, this is about what I expected. Missing 5-6 guys against mexico is just not a recipe for a good night. I will say, those guys fought their asses off, so I tip my hat to them. If you had told me before the tournament that we were going to make it farther than Canada and Panama, I would have laughed at you. There are 5 guys from this team I’d like to see in September. Luna, Tillman, Richards, Ream, and Adams. I do think there are some guys who could be culture guys who should stick around. Berhalter, Freeman, Agyemang, and Freese. Everyone else is a big meh for me. But I think you have to have those other guys there to help push the full squad.

Just because you’re educated doesn’t make you smart. I’ve had jurors with masters and CEOs of companies come back and say they struggled to understand what a conspiracy is or ask the dumbest questions like why didn’t you do a dna test on something where we’ve shown them video evidence and cell phone data that puts a defendant in the scene and cell phone photos of him holding the gun and/or drugs… And then some mechanic interjects and says because they don’t need to, the dude was caught with them and he had photos of a bunch of it anyways. We usually smile and say thanks for serving, it’s the second highest honor this side of armed service

The natural response is always to prod the pros to do things better. And I want to be clear that I am a huge advocate of the NWS and NOAA and am furious at their defunding, and the DOGE massacres. That absolutely has to be part of the post-op. But the fact is that user error is usually at fault and that’s where the deep probing needs to happen. Weather forecasting is always inexact and you will never have a system that can’t be ignored. The tough questions are going to be on the camp side. Questions like: who monitored weather and emergency alerts and how? What was the plan in place if you had gotten advance warning in time? How often did you practice that plan? What staff members knew the plan? What did the campers know about the plan? Was it activated? How far along did you get? I have a suspicion that the breakdown was around the first and second question. Maybe I’m wrong.

I'm not trying to be crass this soon after this tragedy but I can tell you now they aren't going to give one single fuck about this either. The reason being is any sort of meaningful deep dive will expose the truth of their mismanagement from the top down and just like every tragedy in this state, this is the official position of our Republican overlords: ...and this will probably be the same for a lot of the families (at least the ones running in prominent circles). The main tenant of the modern GOP is solidarity in never admitting a mistake. This will be chalked up to "God's will" and prayers will be asked for, time will pass and nothing will change. To admit a mistake is to admit failure which is not an option for the GOP. The only time a member of the GOP finds a backbone is when they're retiring or dying. Once they've used up their cache and it no longer serves a purpose, only then do they speak out against the hive mind.

Christ ESPN is a beating. "We have a 3 page fact-sheet for every Padres batter that we'd like to go over. Now we're going to talk to Fernando Tatis Jr. through the entire inning with Texas batting while he tries to play defense."

Well, we all know what this means.

Seeing social media posts related to dead girls in a river that somehow still find a way to end with, "We still know God is good" is a sickening reminder of how demented all this bullshit really is. For most of my life I was in the "I don't believe it but I respect your beliefs" camp. That respect is harder and harder to find these days.

Do We Have a Christ Followers Thread?

@immamac can we get this non-news thread out of DT and put it the appropriate forum -
On the squad next year: Adams, Tillman, Luna, Richards I’m intrigued: Berhalter, McGlynn, Downs, Freese I could see it just because we don’t have anyone else: Ream, Agyemang GTFO: LDLT, Aaronsons, Turner, Arfsten, Freeman

I've been putting a lot of thought into this. If only we had a system of forecasting what the weather might be, maybe based on some type of modeling, and a communication channel to inform people of dangerous conditions, and perhaps a way to let them know what actions might need to be taken, then a lot of lives might be saved. I don't know what the costs for such a system may be, but think of the expected benefits. Now, I agree that in an ideal world we wouldn't need a system like this, and maybe a for-profit company could do a good job, but perhaps the public interest would be better served if the government was involved, at least partly. Thoughts?

Motherfucker is trying to hypnotize us. Stupids like Spider2yBanana are going to wake up naked in a Dairy Queen asking for “dick bacon,” or something equally perplexing. carry on. Respect. -

Great crowd tonight. Opening goal had the US fans loud as hell. But credit to Mexico thoroughly outplaying the US from that moment on. US had no answers for the Mexican press. Luna was taken out of the game damn near completely other than the shot he should have put on target at the end of the first half. Handball non call was pretty damn surprising, even if we didn't get replays at the stadium. Better team won. Post mortem for Poch will, and should, be ugly. Yeah it's not the 11 best guys, but from top to bottom USA (mens) soccer is nowhere near ready for next summer. 1994 led to a revolution in this country. I currently fear that 2026 won't do anything at all other than line FIFA's pockets.

Damn... We were looking for Jewish Space Lazers, but it was the Mormons behind weather control all along

I will say this - this isn't a very good Mexico team. They barely beat this team we ran out there. Our A squad is a better team, does that equal a win? Gotta earn it, but in the end I think man for man we match up a hell of a lot better if we run our #1s out there against them.
-
This. In the end this roster wasn't the one that was going to win this tournament. I'll say this - the tournament showed us a few guys that are ready to contribute, it also showed us some guys that can fuck right off.
