I have season tickets and live in Oklahoma City. Its a 6 1/2 hr drive and if the game is a night game, my weekend is shot. For driving wise, I would rather have an 11am game so I can atleast have Sunday to enjoy.

But back on topic, I wish Joe would have talked about Stanton and why he wasn't seeing any playing time last year.

 

I would say that Stanton didn't get much PT because he was 3rd on the depth chart.

I understand he was third, but why is he 3rd? Mental? Not knowing the play book? etc?

For someone that was ranked high in the camps and then to be lower then the walk-on, there has to be something going on with him.

No there doesn't.

Stanton gained more reps after Bo was fired. Probably a doghouse thing.

 

 

 

How many more people will basically make a post that says that Meyer doesn't know what he is doing?

 

I wish that Porn Stars had message boards...so I could go post there and tell them how they are f****** all wrong.

 

 

You be pretty crazy to walk into OSU right now wanting to change anything.

 

Meyer may not be endorsing any or all playcalls, but he is endorsing Tim Beck as a football coach.

You're right. You'd have to be a moron to come in there and change things. Beck's imprint will be very minor IMO. Beck is there to get an education. What exactly is he going to teach? I'll wait for your answer to that. Please, don't be vague.

You'd also have to be a moron to pay a guy $550K so you can give him an education and get nothing in return.

So.........

Again I ask. Again.

What does he bring to the table?

What is Beck going to teach the Ohio St. Offense?

Really basic question. Really.

You've dodged it once now Guy Chamberlain. As for you Teachercd, I'm not sure if you're talking to me or not, but I literally said the opposite. Urban Meyer knows exactly what he's doing. He's already a coaching legend in my books. So again.

Again.

I ask.

What does Beck bring to the table? What will Beck do for that offense?

I'm trying not to be a prick (it's my nature). I'd love to hear what both of your answers are. Your so adamant about this yet, I see no response to the question. Why?

True, the ball is not in my court on this. So I'm not dodging anything.

 

Tim Beck will bring to the table his coaching experience, and impart it to the Ohio State offense under the watchful eye of Urban Meyer and others.

 

Just like any other coach Urban Meyer could have hired, but didn't.

 

Tim Beck will not be imparting his coaching experience under the watchful eye of Bo Pelini.

 

Maybe that means something. Maybe not.

 

But at some point you gotta consider the possibility that Urban Meyer knows more about football coaching than you do.

Consider it?

What in the hell is happening here? I've ACKNOWLEDGED IT repeatedly.

I've literally called the guy a legend! Holy crap. The man wins national championships everywhere he goes. What more can I say?

I simply asked what does Tim Beck bring to the Ohio St. offense? What will he teach the offensive players? What skills do you believe he brings to the job?

I've given atleast 20 reasons why I don't think Beck brings anything to that job. I'm just asking why you guys think Meyer made the right hire?

Is the answer seriously because you think Meyer is a good coach? Ok.....we agree. So what makes Beck a good coach? What does he bring to Ohio States offense?

Basketball on grass.

Fallout from Switzerlands wildly swinging currency ricocheted around the world, triggering the collapse of some brokerage firms and hitting global banks with tens of millions of dollars in losses.

 

A major U.S. currency broker reached a deal for a rescue package following sharp customer losses after the Swiss National Bank abruptly removed the cap on the Swiss francs value , sparking a massive rally. Elsewhere, a U.K. retail broker entered insolvency and a New Zealand foreign-exchange trading house collapsed.

 

Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank AG and Citigroup Inc. both suffered about $150 million in losses, according to people familiar with the matter. Barclays PLC also racked up tens of millions of dollars in losses, although they totaled less than $100 million, another person said.

 

The trading losses occurred within minutes of the Swiss central banks announcement. Because major currencies rarely move more than 1% or 2% in a short period, investors are able to borrow large sums to juice their bets. Traders can put down $50,000or even lessand make a bet worth $1 million or more. Excel Markets, which is connected to New Zealands Global brokers NZ, advertises 400 times leverage. The downside: a small adverse move can lead to a wipeout.

 

Ganz says "If I had started over Keller, and the team continued to lose, that might have cost BC his job right away."

 

Still takes it to his grave that he beat out Keller during Spring and Fall camp.

 

I love me some Joe Ganz. But in the best head-to-head competition we were able to see, the 2007 Spring Game, Keller was the better quarterback. He threw to the spot, before the break, while Ganz threw to the man. Did that over and over, both in warmup and the game. In Callahan's offense the timing was key, and Keller had that down better than Ganz.

 

Joe could (literally) run circles around Keller, and I have no problems with his play. But I am not on board with his assessment he beat Keller out. Keller was more polished for the offense Callahan wanted to run.

 

 

 

I know that's a terrible opinion to have here, and if we had negative rep I'd get like -20 for this post, but it's the truth.

Reported

OK. To be wholly accurate, the church did not "excommunicate" Galileo. He was "vehemently suspected of heresy" and punished for said heresy. His heresy being:

 

The proposition that the Sun is the center of the world and does not move from its place is absurd and false philosophically and formally heretical, because it is expressly contrary to Holy Scripture.

 

The proposition that the Earth is not the center of the world and immovable but that it moves, and also with a diurnal motion, is equally absurd and false philosophically and theologically considered at least erroneous in faith.

 

Without getting into a huge cultural sidebar about why Galileo (and Copernicus) would necessarily have to be adherents to the Catholic faith at the time in which they lived, or to have the resources available to conduct their studies, I'll just state that these revisionist history claims about the Church being OK with science/scientists is factually inaccurate at best, and a gross mischaracterization by definition.

I'm more disturbed you linked a buzzfeed article than those statistics.

Only because you were a "yes"

http://www.buzzfeed.com/rossalynwarren/a-third-of-male-students-in-a-new-study-say-theyd-rape-a-wom

 

In a study led by professor Sarah Edwards and published in Violence and Gender,86 straight male American college students filled in several different surveys and were asked to self-report their likelihood to engage in certain types of sexual behaviour – including forcing a female to do something sexual she does not want to, and rape – ”if nobody would ever know and there wouldn’t be any consequences”.

One-third of participants (31.7%) said they would force a woman to have sexual intercourse in a “consequence-free situation” – and many wouldn’t label or recognise their actions as “rape”. Moreover, 13.6% of participants said they would rape a woman.

When you vote, make sure you vote Redux. Because I will make your dreams come true. Aaaaand, I can be sexy.

Great to talk with coach Riley finally

 

 

 

 

Though we do enjoy a readership among Muslims inside and outside of the United States, some of whom have not hesitated to express displeasure or worse at our coverage of stories such as the Israel-Palestine conflict, none has seen the Charlie Hebdo cartoons as worth sending an angry email or even an annoyed tweet, much less a threat of violence.Our coverage of Islamophobia has brought a very different response. Articles decrying anti-Muslim bigotry and attacks on mosques have been met with dozens of threats on email and social media.The most common states a desire that jihadist militants will murder the offending writer: a recent email hoped that Muslims will "behead you one day" so that "we will never have to read your trash again." Some directly threaten violence themselves, or imply it with statements such as "May you rot in hell."Others express a desire to murder all Muslims — one simply read "I agree with maher Kill them all" — also often implying the emailed journalist is themselves Muslim. One pledge to attack Vox writers begins, "f#*k you and any c**t who believes in allah."As is often the case, the strongest threats have been reserved for women. One writer received a message arguing that someone should "put a gun up your ass" to make her understand terrorism.Ironically, these threats are typically couched in arguments that Muslims are inherently irrational and violent. Further, threats made with the explicit intention of silencing journalists from discussing Islamophobia are positioned as necessary "defenses" of free speech against the threat of Islam. The people making the threats seem unaware that they are themselves seeking to curb the very free speech they pretend to uphold.

So we shouldn't hate Muslims?

I'm baffled by your question. Do you normally hate complete groups of people that would encompass literally billions of people around the world?

Only Longhorn fans

Apparently Vox just isn't that influential around the world. Plenty of threats still for papers in the middle east and Europe.

No I'm being intentionally daft today, I'm barely staying awake at work. Two red bulls hasn't solved the issue.

 

So we shouldn't hate Muslims?

That's up to you.

Is the article trying to say angry white people are worse than Muslim terrorists?

The jersey campaign thread is doing the opposite for me.. people who keep posting in here most likely wont get my vote... Comes off desperate. I would prefer to vote for those who have been quality posters all year, not for the last 3 weeks.

http://www.vox.com/2014/9/17/6113045/police-worn-body-cameras-explained

The report found what seems to be a big early success in Rialto, California. Since 2012, all Rialto cops must wear body cameras. In the first year of the program, use of force by officers dropped 60 percent, and citizen complaints declined by 88 percent.

 

Similar findings applied to other cities with body cameras. In multiple places, there were drops in citizen complaints. In the Scottish city of Aberdeen, there were fewer assaults on officers. And anecdotal evidence suggested a civilizing effect in Phoenix.
