  1. Not surprised at all that there is some relevant context and dare i say it, nuance, to the clickbaity headlines people have been sharing in here about this guy. I called it internally in my head after the first tweet I saw. Folks are so desperate (citizens and media 'professionals' alike) to support their already-decided conclusions these days it's frankly disturbing and pathetic.
  2. 9 times out of 10 when you're trying hard to explain away bad stats, the biggest truth is that you're actively trying to reach the conclusion you want to.
  3. This paper is an actual genuine piece of garbage that screams "we had our conclusions before we had the data" and is antithetical to the scientific method.
  4. We've been slowly downsizing the stadium for a few years now, and are continuing to. Slow, incremental seat widening and they just added in actual chairback seats in the west balcony. Then, pretty soon, Trev's gonna announce a massive stadium renovation project in the hundreds of millions. I haven't heard how the official plan ended up, but last I heard (from uncle who's a player alumni/booster) is that part of it is chopping off the top of south stadium and making a huge concourse area.
  5. Who is mad at WaPo's accurate descriptions and why?
  6. least expensive way or least expensive legal way?
  7. That's gonna drop capacity by what, a few hundred?
  8. There's no real need to assign blame at all. Blame is more of a self-serving feel-good type of narrative anyways. Responsibility on the other hand, well there's plenty of it to go around. And yes, individuals are absolutely responsible for their actions. But at the same time, massive companies are much more powerful than individuals are, and while individuals can fall into all sorts of crazy worldviews, they never did it on purpose, whereas the systems with exponential more power than them have tried to manipulate them, erode public trust, and sell out any shred of external integrity....all on purpose. So at the end of the day the systems rightfully hold an entire mountainrange of responsibility that they are shirking at every step.
  9. You live long enough to see all of it cycle I guess lol. I'm not even that old but I remember after Callahan was fired, there were all sorts of offseason stories about how the players were never corrected when they made mistakes in the moment, but would be later in film study. People thought it was a breath of fresh air when Bo's staff changed that and was coaching them up in the moment. Now we've cycled back at least some degree in narrative. I also remember Frost harping multiple times in his first preseason about never letting any player stand around and building up the walk-on program so everyone would constantly be getting reps and everybody loved it. I guess it's very rare for an approach to a specific thing like that to be objectively the right or wrong one - success is all about the details and the process by which you go after it. But since we don't really know what those are and they're not very easy to turn into soundbytes, the narratives and offseason fluff satiate us well enough to keep forgetting that we suck and dare to hope again.
  10. I understand that is how it goes in the world, but I'm more curious about the technical underpinnings of how it happens. So has he been arrested for any of these three indictments?
  11. Stupid elementary question - what's the difference between being indicted and being arrested, and why in all these cases has he not been arrested?
  12. Unbelievable. Dead conference walking.
  13. I do too, but then i look on twitter and see one person replying to Charlie Kirk's recent tweet saying they won't vote for trump, and then about 60-75 responses to that saying 'then you were never a true republican', 'you should vote for trump if you love our country', and 'you're the problem'.
  14. This is the first year we haven't had the three stripe shoulder practice jerseys since 2013 I believe.
  15. @MyBloodIsRed16 obviously wouldn't have. had this reaction if the tweet said 'Nebraska kickers kicked field goals in practice yesterday but it was indoors and not simulating live game scenarios and we all know those are totally different' guys come on. Of course, that would be the most redundant and lacking report you could imagine bc it essentially boils down to, "pRaCtIcEs AnD gAmEs ArE dIfFeReNt!" but I digress
  16. There's nothing stopping you from deciding at any moment to stop making something out of absolutely nothing.
  17. To be fair to Jason Aldean, what Tennessee courthouses haven't had public lynchings?
  18. If the B1G is trying to get several ACC teams Georgia Tech would absolutely be one of them.
  19. Signal is great. Very useful and quality app. I use it to buy NOT drugs.
  20. The conversation was surrounding hypothetical felons running for the presidency; to be a felon presumes being convicted.
  21. I think that's where it started but he got blitzed somewhere else - pretty sure he got pulled over at like 4a or something
  22. His replacement is far from being a legend over several decades but thankfully has his own bona fides and experience and connections in Texas HS as well. I don't imagine Josh will have the job longer than just this one season regardless.
  23. Definitely worse things than having an immediate replacement who coached up two draft picks at SMU in the last four years.
  24. If it wasn't any different with Hillary then she should have been charged as well. I'm no expert on the Clinton email controversies, but the way it's probably different is because you don't bring charges unless you can prove them and there wasn't a strong case. The FBI investigated for years and eventually concluded/recommended ""that no charges are appropriate in this case... Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case." The State Department investigated for a long a$$ time and concluded that she "increased the risk of compromising State Department information, but "there was no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information"". The DOJ Inspector General investigated the how the DOJ and FBI handled their investigations and found that their conclusion, "was consistent with the Department’s historical approach in prior cases under different leadership, including in the 2008 decision not to prosecute former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for mishandling classified documents." So on and so forth. Another reason it's probably different is because what Trump did was unprecedented and loud and bold - what Clinton did wasn't unprecedented and was in line with the last several people in her station, pointing to a lot of lax inadequacies related to government security.
