#HatesRecruiting

This is sick. One of the female lawmakers tried to get amendments passed before voting that all failed. These would have included prenatal and healthcare til the child is 13. Voted against. Make rape and incest victims exempt. Voted against. And finally making it a class C felony for men to get a vasectomy. Voted against. The republican party is evil. It just goes to show that once these babies are born, they and the morhers are on their own. Pro-birth, not pro-life. And rape and incest is okay. I guess its no surprise coming from a state that almost voted in a child rapist. Sharia Law: Christian Edition.

I think it is pretty clear Roby is staying the draft.

Got him! Man Fred is killing it

Also a peek on how the sausage is made in the article "As you know, we share rights with ESPN for three of the five power conferences [Big 10, Pac 12, Big 12]," Mulvihill said. "The way that those rights are allocated is that the conferences themselves don’t decide what games will be on what network. That’s unlike the NFL, where there’s an NFL broadcasting department that puts the schedule together and they decide that Packers-Patriots is going to be on NBC and Cowboys-Eagles is going to be on Fox at 4:25. That’s a collaborative process, but in the end the NFL makes those decisions. "In the college draft, the conferences put together a game schedule [with the dates] but then we and ESPN sit down and actually choose game windows in the Spring where we’ll say — and we have the number one pick in the Big Ten draft — we’re going to take the first selection on November 24th. We pick that date obviously with an eye toward it being Ohio State-Michigan, but we don’t literally take Ohio State-Michigan. We just take the right to have the first choice on November 24th. And then ESPN will choose the right to have the first choice on a week in September. And we’ll come back and use our first pick in the Big 12 to take the number one pick in the first week of October which will be Texas-Oklahoma." Mulvihill says the process of slotting games and who gets what matchups can be exhausting for networks. "As the season goes on we’ll say, Okay we’re up to Week 7. We have the first pick. We’re going to use that first pick on Michigan-Michigan State," Mulvihill said. "ESPN then has the second pick, and they [hypothetically] thought they were going to use it on Penn State-Iowa, but because events on the field are unpredictable they’re actually going to use it on Wisconsin-Northwestern. Because you’re drafting windows and not actual games, once you get to the season in progress and you’re surprised by which teams are better than you thought and which teams aren’t as good as you expected, you can adjust and make sure that you’re getting the best game in the best window."

Overturning Roe v. Wade to actually enforce this law would trample the woman's privacy and pretty much destroy the point of HIPAA. They'll probably argue we have no constitutional expectation of privacy and civil-liberty lovin' Republicans will shrug & look the other way. But, you know, I'm sure some stuffy old men know what's better for a woman medically than the doctor or the woman herself. Edit: I was far too nice. I'm in the medical field. I take this stuff very seriously. One of the principles they teach you in school is to respect the autonomy of the patient to make their own healthcare decisions. This obviously spits in the eye of that principle. Once again Republicans are trying to dictate people's healthcare to them. They're trying to bully and intimidate both women and their doctors into complying with their own ideology. F#ck that. What ever happened to the separation of church and state? This is legislating theology. The evangelical right needs to back the f#ck off people's healthcare choices.

I had forgotten how much I enjoy the movie Snowpiercer.

Thread I read on twitter the other day about why this ending isn't working. Essentially there are two types of storytellers. The plotters and I'm forgetting the other type. Plotters know the exact beats of the entire story, and while it is more coherent from start to finish, it can make characters feel wooden as they are forced from plot point to plot point. The other type just has the spine with like 2 or 3 plot points. They then write the story and make the characters act naturally to get to the minimal plot points they want. This can cause the story to meander into insignificant plots or ones that do not matter to the overall story. GRRM is the second type (which is why the books have become bloated and he's written himself into a hole he's having trouble getting out of), while GOT showrunners are the first type. So you have characters that act naturally for the first part of the story, but then in the second half you have them do stupid stuff to get them to the end they want. The writing also feels like they want to have their cake and eat it. They wanted the heroic Dany with all of the "foreshadowing" being followed up by making her actions feel triumphant, no matter how sketchy said actions were. So now they have her do something so reprehensible so that when/if she dies this week the killer is 100% justified. You can't have someone getting a lucky shot on Rhaegal during the siege, because then Dany would have a "good" reason to torch the entire city. Its the same reason why Dany also couldn't attack just the Red Keep (which makes way more sense than attacking the entire city). We had to see her as a villain even though the actions she took were something she actively avoided throughout the entire show.

That's my understanding also. But I don't see how there would be any way to enforce it. Would the state be able to request medical records??? Would they just go off of word of mouth? Would they actually have the audacity to require a woman submit to a medical exam demanded by a search warrant? That is some disgusting stuff right there....

Can we just sell Alabama to China to help pay off our national debt?

This guy and the Alabama and Georgia votes make me think that there is a bridge too far. The swing of the GOP to the far alt right is on full display. I have got to think that brain cells die the further right these guys go. I am Pro-life - I believe the baby in the womb must be protected but I also believe that the women need protections as well. Pretty soon there will clean divide between abortion rights states and those which are not. If they boarder each other I expect clinics to spring up on the boarders of the abortion rights states to assist those women who will come in droves from the other states. Kind of like wet and dry counties back when liquor access was limited by legislation in some states after prohibition. I expect this overreaction will have the same outcome as prohibition. People will find other means to receive the services that have been banned. Pro-life state reps would better serve their community by instead of rushing to be the most far right position, that they instead rush to the other side of the isle and work with pro-choice reps to create workable solutions that would help the whole community.

They tend to get diarrhea of the mouth, which combined with their superiority complex leads to a short stay here.

They have a long history of hypocrisy, let's just say. Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 And that's not even talking about the general misogyny in the party.

What? How many times did Martinez randomly chuck it up to his bail out guy? I must have missed that.

For college football fans within the Big Ten and Big 12, you may want to look away. FOX, which has first television dibs on all Big Ten games and several Big 12 contests this fall, plans to place its top matchup every Saturday in the noon timeslot, according to New York Post reporter Andrew Marchand. This is the network's latest attempt to unseat ESPN's College GameDay and the Worldwide Leader's early game as go-to programming for fans. Urban Meyer, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart are among the new analysts being ask to lead FOX's revitalized college football efforts as the media company tries to combat ESPN and CBS Sports for viewership. https://247sports.com/Article/College-football-2019-schedule-Big-Ten-Big-12-FOX-media-rights-132020272/

Gameday means attention. We should want it.

Fred Hoiberg: iT mIgHt Be SmArTeR tO hAnG oN tO a ScHoLaRsHiP

247 has him as the #133 recruit in the nation and a 4 star

Fred Hoiberg is doing what he wants and I really like it

Transfered to SMU

Tsar?

John Bolton did this already to achieve an invasion of Iraq. I'm not surprised he'd do it again.

His last name is almost Blackshirt. Might as well be one

What the hell is the idiot doing?

I'd caution that Alabama Republicans are a breed all their own. They didn't flinch supporting a credibly accused pedophile for U.S. Senate. They're the most extreme of the extreme. Still, it certainly seems the onslaught against Roe is underway with all these incredibly restrictive anti-abortion measures being passed at the state level. They're certainly hoping one gets sent to the Supreme Court and Kavanaugh/Gorsuch do what they were sent there to do.

Because there is no rule of law while republicans hold govt.

Our penis I mean screen is around 110” if I recall and we have the walls covered in dark maroon felt and the windows covered in some fancy black material and I have a special pair of shoes I’m only allowed to wear inside the room so I don’t track any cat hair in. Also the toilet is made of gold and the toilet water comes from a melting glacier.

I think this is what a large portion of people who aren't players and want this to happen care about, myself included. The potential downside to this is that you ruin the amateur aspect of college sports and IMO, college sports are much better than the pros bc of that aspect. I like professional sports but I would rather watch a college game than a pro game almost any day (aside from certain matchups).

Problem is going to be ISPs holding bandwidth and access for ransom (See Netflix, Hulu) if it really does take off. Really need a net neutrality agreement so TV over IP can really take off and internet service can be regulated as a utility (which it's quickly becoming, if not already).

Hell, Fred can stay in his office, I'll escort Thor onto the plane myself if that was the case

Funny you say that...since 99% of posters will tell you that they NEVER watch ESPN, that they HATE gameday, that everyone on gameday is a joke and that no one cares about it anymore... I hope they come here for any and every game that they can. When they were at Starkville a few years ago...when it was Ole Miss vs MSU (1 v 2, I think) it looked amazing. They only really do one super lame game a year...like NDSU or something like that... The rest...you know it means something.

want to bet that they don't get to ask any questions? or if they do that mitch will shut them down as fast as possible

https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/ny-sports-ncaa-basketball-20180808-story.html Relevant part (that I forgot & apparently so did every sportswriter in Omaha/Lincoln) is:

Roby is not coming back, but it might be smarter to hang on to a scholarship. Next year, we will have 2 leaving and 2 coming in.

Bobby Newcombe's son Isaiah is class of 2021. Just got his first offer, from BYU.

I find it super interesting that Jr is able to "negotiate" terms for his appearance in congress in a few weeks. Why in the world would you let anyone come in to a criminal probe and set the terms of what they will and won't answer? Why was Trump allowed to answer written questions only about the time during his campaign, and not actions in office afterward? Why is Jr. being allowed to avoid questions about the Russian adoption meeting?

NM is pretty much a barren sh#thole everywhere. Haven't you seen Breaking Bad

Was asked to but I let track & field pay for school. Hammer throwing is fun.
