  1. I suppose we should send some Thoughts and Prayers towards Russia and hope that stops their military ambitions. It works for gun violence in America after all! EZ PZ!
  2. No kidding, getting a power 5 level player as a walk-on would be a huge win. He has legit offers from peer programs, so getting a player like this as a walk-on is huge.
  3. I don't think that's the case here. At Georgia, the expectation would be to compete for playoff spots and getting to the National Championship. With the way they recruit, anything that isn't at least qualifying for a 12 team playoff is a massive failure. I think Georgia fans would expect to win at least 1 playoff game each year. At Nebraska, the expectations aren't even in the same stratosphere. The expectations here would be getting to bowl games early in his career, with the hope that Nebraska qualifies for a big time bowl game (NY6 or equivalent) once in his career. Even if Nebraska doesn't do that, which I don't think they currently can, guiding the program to a few 8-4 or 9-3 records would be a huge.
  4. It's sort of a lost cause. He truly believes that Democrats are just as bad as they are. Thus, future votes for Republicans are continually justified. Shot, meet chaser.
  5. You vote for anti-democratic candidates and believe nonsense to cope with your electoral choices. Voting for Trump twice does reflect on you as a person, and I understand the desperation you feel in trying to make sense of that. It's sad and pathetic what kind of party voters like you have turned Republicans into. It's not to late to give up on politics.
  6. While true, the #1 QB would get NIL money at any number of schools, many of which have a better track record of developing QBs for the NFL. Make no mistake, coming here is a risk for him. He knows that. The only motivation he has is the idea of reviving a dead program. If he comes here, he should be commended. Most recruits of his caliber take the easy route and go to the same 4 schools. I hope other top tier players realize they don't have to go to Ohio State/Georgia/Alabama to have a great college career.
  7. Yes, because that is exactly the same thing as a coordinated effort to disregard a legitimate election, to send fake electors and to overthrowthe results of an election. Look, I'm sorry that the Republican Party has turned into a Kremlin propaganda arm, but at the end of the day the anti-American tilt of your party has everything to do with voters like you, do better.
  8. Nothing like some good 'ol fashioned "We're not that bad because even though we tried to undermine democracy in pursuit of having the most embarrassing poltician in American history hold power, the other side has done the same thing!" While of course being able to point out when the other side has done the same thing. Seriously, Republican voters, please recognize the damage your idiocy has done to this country. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that voting isn't for you. It's okay to sit this one out so the adults can save America from the mess that your electoral choices have made. Do the world a favor, stay home in 2024. There's no shame in that.
  9. I assume that Nebraska would want to rent McCord for a year and have a player like Raiola take the job after? They originally wanted two portal QBs, one to win now and one to win later... But Raiola out of high school would be the biggest recruit in modern Nebraska history. Technically of all time, although recruiting wasn't the same back in the day.
  10. Sarcasm? I don't know what you're talking about. Modern Republicans are sensible students of history, they don't scapegoat people who don't look like them or speak their language at all. No sir. There are no similarities between them and multiple historical examples of toxic right wing politics at all. Anybody who has a few firing neurons in their brain can see that our current state of Right Wing politics are healthy in America and the people in charge of the Republican Party would be courageous enough to stand up and call out any danger they see coming. If and when Republicans do stand up to this danger, they no doubt would be treated heroically within their party for doing what's right. Their voters are smart people, they wouldn't cast aside lifelong members of the party and turn on them on a dime. Not at all. Even if that person was a previous Presidential Candidate. Their politics aren't at all anger or fear based; they offer policy solutions to every day problems Americans face. It's why their candidates for office are moderate and why their voters rally behind calm, intelligent voices of reason. Hilarious scene. Although I will always say that General Buck Turgidson as surprisingly accurate depiction of General Curtis "Bombs Away" LeMay is the real star of that movie.
  11. I've never heard that Kissinger was an inspiration behind the character, although perhaps he may have been! Dr. Strangelove represents murdering fascism and the idea of diminished masculinity manifesting itself in sexuality. The idea of men becoming less manly is a right wing talking point that goes back more than 100 years, and often lead to morons ideas of diminished masculinity seriously and coming into power (See models of masculinity under Benito Mussolini as an example). We're fortunate to live in a time when the American public - full of educated individuals - can see these moronic right wing talking points from miles away. The modern Republican Party is full of individuals who recognize this danger and they full on reject the fascist playbook that dates back more than a century. The voters that make up the modern Republican Party party are smart, reasonable people that aren't easily duped into falling for the exact same thing previous political parties fell victim to dating back to the early 1900s. No sir, if there's one thing I know about Republican voters, as evidenced by frequent posters on this message board, is that they are students of history and they're well acquainted to seeing the danger coming from Donald Trump. They take these dangers seriously and in no way do they dismiss them. Because who could miss the OBVIOUS signs and WILLFULLY ignore them?
  12. Imagine voting for this guy twice and to cope with it you also Imagine that Biden is corrupt just so you can cope with your stupid electoral choices.
  13. Millions of people are going to vote for this guy. It's why the political choices of millions of people need to be laughed at and discarded completely. Voters aren't equipped to think and fill in a tiny bubble at the same time.
  14. This is a completely serious political party engaging in good faith, just trying to get to the bottom of every day problems that impact Americans. They are in no way engaging in political theater to engage their voting base full of gullible morons. The corrupt Biden Administration has weaponized the Department of Justice, where they indicted his son to protect him. The corruption knows no bounds and we must elect the most honest, incorruptible, straight shooter in American history: Donald "The Truth" Trump to fix this.
  15. Even Fox News knows it's political theater for right wing masses.
  16. It's sort of interesting that this is an attempt to get Congress to keep collegiate athletes from being designated as employees. I don't know if any of the legislation being proposed will happen fast enough to prevent the Supreme Court from upending their plans over night. It's certainly the wild west right now for college athletes.
  17. Hopefully he's punished accordingly and to the full extent of the law. I still don't know why this is in a thread about Joe Biden.
  18. I don't disagree that it isn't a legal nightmare, but the path of getting there is pretty clear. If a school feels like they can get a competitive advantage by doing it, they're going to try. Once one school does it, the rest will follow. I don't think legal logistics is going to stop the University of Miami, Auburn or Florida State from competing with Alabama.
  19. I don't think it'll be easy at all and I think the path to get to that point will take a few years. But eventually players are going to want to keep as much of the money as possible, and a school somewhere is going to seek a competitive advantage to make it all happen.
  20. That ownership structure is going to have to be negotiated, either as a framework that all schools agree upon or each institution has itself. It could be a pro-sports model where those shares are invested into by prospective owners, or it could be a trust managed by administrators who's revenue is given to the Universities Foundation, with the unofficial but implied relationship with the Athletic Department. There are dozens of ways it could work. All I know is that all paths are leading down a road where players form a union. Court cases are working their way to SCOTUS as at speak, where they've already indicated they will rule in favor of the athletes. When that happens, schools are either going to: A. Negotiate with that union in a way that complies with Title IX and mostly keeps the current sports structure in tact, and non-revenue athletes get a piece of the pie. B. Negotiate with a union that allows football players to not share revenue with non-revenue athletes, allowing Football Players to keep more money and giving their football program a competitive advantage. This option leads to an untethering of football from the school in order to rid themselves of Title IX compliance. C. Congress gets involved. I'm pretty sure I know which option Alabama/Ohio State/etc. is going to pick.
  21. In this instance, the funds have to be spent on certain charging infrastructure items. The requirements are that the electrical components be built in the United States, that their metals and materials be sourced from the United States, along with other similar provisions where the intention isn't to build chargers at the cheapest possible rates but to build a domestic industry base.
  22. Trump may have wanted to use the military on American citizens, but the price of cheese went from $2.15 to $2.50 over the last few years.
  23. I thought I explained that it would be a third party, similar to a collective like 1890 that is *wink* not affiliated with the University. It could be a group of former administrators, the NU Foundation, or anything that officially is separate from the University. College Football is almost certainly heading down this path. The new proposed model won't pay them enough.
