  1. I think they'll struggle on offense but be solid on defense. Their secondary was horrible last year but got lots of good experience. Their backers are awesome and they have a great DT returning. I think if they can find any sort of offense at all they'll be fine. I see a repeat of a few years ago where their offense couldn't do much of anything and their defense was rock solid...they won quite a few games that year. I thought MSU dismissed their two starting DT's
  2. He wont announce his commitment until 7am on Monday per his brother. Okie state offered an overseas kid and sounds like it was mutual. Okie State made little sense...UNLV makes tons of sense
  3. From what it sounds like to me, Bo stayed where he was and expected Eichorst to do all the work, then turned around and cried about him being the one in his cave when he wouldn't babysit and be pals. Eichorst has said numerous times that his base position is hands off, letting his coaches run their programs how they see fit. Sometimes coaches want him more involved. I guarantee Bo didn't want to see Eichorst, never made any effort to see Eichorst, and used 'not seeing Eichorst' as ammo to twist out of context as a parting shot. I think he was hands off with bo because he wanted to be. He is clearly much more hand on with Riley, they seem to do things together a lot for program exposure. I don't see him do much with Miles or Erstadt or Cook but I think he really likes Riley and enjoys doing things with him. Shawn Eichorst is one guy. Miles, Riley, Erstadt, Cook and others are several, and by all accounts that we can tell, are all good, enjoyable people. So which is more likely - Eichorst arbitrarily picking and choosing which coaches to pal around with, or him starting from a place of hands-off and letting the coaches dictate what level of interaction they have with him? It is more likely that he picks and chooses which ones to hang out with. That is what I do. If you look at Eichorst's record at NU and Miami you are clearly wrong. I should rephrase...It is more likely that a normal person would pick who they wanted to hang out with...just like all of us do. He may very well do it differently.

But, as a standard, I usually follow a simple rule - if everybody else seems to be the problem, then maybe everybody else isn't the problem. In my own opinion, SE seems to be on good terms with just about every major coach in the university, and he didn't hire the vast majority of them. I agree.

  7. Most people don't ignore because they love responding too much.
  8. Wanting to protect the environment has nothing to do with political correctness. That being said I'd like to see some actual research on the damage they do. Yeah, Hunter94! Take that! Good work Mo. And Mo, if you do find that research on balloons and how quickly they biodegrade please be sure to post that in this thread or even start another thread, this board could use some hot topics like that. Kay. Things don't biodegrade instantly so I'm not sure what that photo was supposed to prove. McDonald's fries take ages. Maybe those balloons take 100 years instead of 1,000,000. I saw one on fries from McDonalds, I think, and it was over a year and they looked exactly the same.

  10. And now he is the athletic director of a major university while you are doing what??? If I learned anything from the thread on Trump...having a sweet gig or lots of money or a chance to be president as the republican nominee means nothing and you only got to all those things because of luck and everyone else being stupid.
  11. I said it once...America has NEVER elected a President that has declared bankruptcy and we will NOT start now.
  12. Okie State? Doesn't really jive with their new coaches philosophies does it? But, they do have Jawaun Evans who might just be a top 3 PG in the nation next year. I am going to say the order is this. Nebraska Okie St Minnesota
  13. I kind of wish there could be a real conversation without all the hyperbole. It's obvious that a lot of people who are against Trump only read articles and watch news casts that are completely biased and then just regurgitate the garbage they read or hear. I don't believe he ever wanted to run for president. He was in several interviews throughout the past couple decades and they asked him if he ever would run. His answer pretty much every time was essentially "I wouldn't run unless our country got bad enough that I felt like I had to." I guess I find it hard to follow some peoples' interpretation that he's in it for selfish reasons. Your candidate prevents a real conversation. Did you actually watch any of the debates? I REALLY wish he would actually talk about issues but he very very seldom ever does and when he does, he proves he has absolutely no clue what he is doing. Attacking people is what has worked for him and why he keeps doing it. Why won't his followers demand that he actually talk about issues instead of attack people personally? Or...are we back to the Alpha thing? Like it or not, "the alpha thing" is sales and business. And running the country is essentially being the CEO of the largest business in the world. You have a right to see it how you feel you want to, but I feel like I've done my part in this thread to help talk about Trump in a more subjective manner rather than simply listening to the propaganda that's out there regarding him. I keep hearing "he never talks about specifics" about Trump. First off, what other candidate have you heard actually say what they are going to do? I tried hearing what Cruz was proposing, but he's exactly like Hillary in the fact that they say whatever they feel like they need to say in order to appease the audience they're talking to. I respect Sanders for being an outsider who's going up against the establishment, as well as his integrity, but I truly believe his policies would be the nail in the coffin of America's once-great economy. So to get back on track, I've heard Trump be the MOST consistent AND (admittedly) controversial with the things he says, but most of the time, he's completely right. And I know exactly why he's getting brutalized by public opinion. It's because in our society, we're taught that rich people are evil, and then people turn around and applaud mediocrity. I don't get it personally, but it is what it is right now, and I hope it changes. I'm sorry, I'm 49 years old and have been in the business world ever since I was in college. I run a pretty successful business and have been in business with and around people who are extremely successful business people. For the life of me, I can not remember anyone of them that thought being a total jackass to people was some how becoming an "alpha" over people and that's why they are successful. Are there jackasses? Absolutely...but, they are just jackasses that people have to put up with. In fact, I know some jackasses that would be even more successful if they weren't jackasses.This entire thought process that insulting people is some how some magnificent business tactic is totally preposterous and it's amazing to me that he has somehow convinced this many people of that. As for the bolded red. That right there is the perfect description of Trump. You seem to be a reasonably intelligent person. What I am shocked at is that there are people like you who are intelligent and don't see it. He has flip flopped on just about every issue he has actually discussed. Why???? Because his audience changes or he realizes he's getting killed by something he said so he has to change it to be....."well.....that's not what I really meant....the media is painting it differently". I'm even trying to think of something he has been consistent about other than...."I'm so great". And....finally.....at least for me on the bolded green part.....I have absolutely zero problem with rich people. But, the question I have on your comment is, what person running isn't rich? Seriously....to get to where they are, you have to be rich. So, why would people who have a problem with rich people single him out? Also I would just like to say that of these rich successful people; Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Trump, The Clintons, The Bushes, Tiger Woods, Ndamukong Suh, Elon Musk, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Brady, Jerry Jones, the Kardashians, Eminem... get my point. I only dislike one person (Trump because he's a buffoon) and hate one family (because they are artificial morons; aka Kardashians). So no even a "liberal" isn't taught to hate the rich. We just think differently about collective wealth and how that can best serve the country. Bill Gates - essentially stole a bunch of intellectual property from Steve Jobs and Apple that he used at Microsoft. Warren Buffett - made his fortune by investing in a lot of other companies, which is extremely admirable, but it's a completely different business strategy than Trump used to build his fortune. It's very different philosophies. At the same time, I'd bet you that when Buffett negotiates deals, he's anything but a pushover. Jerry Jones - You've got to be kidding me. He's an enormous clown, but you have to give him credit because he's obviously extremely successful. Tom Brady & Ndamukong Suh - Not businessmen. They're still technically employees - just very well compensated. Regardless, they're two of the more disliked players in the NFL because they're super competitive and aggressive. Big time respect to them. Clintons & Bushes - They're politicians. It's their job to be likeable, and they still don't do a very good job of it. Tiger Woods - He's arguably the greatest golfer to ever live, sure, but he's a d*ck. And he cheated on his wife. Steve Jobs - If you know anything about him, you know that he was an extremely brash and aggressive person because he was a perfectionist. At the same time, that's why he was able to build an amazing company. So I guess what I'm getting at is this: If you can overlook all the negative qualities of the rest of these successful people and acknowledge that they are successful because they know how to achieve greatness, why are you quick to criticize Trump? I know he's not perfect, and he opens his mouth without thinking things through too often, but you have to acknowledge that he's a spectacular negotiator and businessman. If he weren't, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. No I don't. If he would have simply invested the money he inherited in the stock market, he would have had more of it. Also, literally screwed many small contractors in his quest to make money by building buildings and then taking bankruptcy on that property. Contractors got screwed and he made out like a bandit. THAT is not an admirable business man. It's a slime ball. So, he could have made more money doing something else and screwed people. Sorry, he's a pathetic loser. I just wish you would stop trying to promote that he is some genius business man. It's just flat out false. This is a weak bullsh#t argument that I've seen time and time again. There is no way that he could have known that at the time he was loaned the money. He's not some sort of clairvoyant. Can you predeict the stock market? Let me know what it's going to look like in 40 years. Show me a billionaire that hasn't screwed someone over. Sorry you feel that way. Actually, the stock market has been fairly consistent over that long of a period. It's fairly predictable the longer you are in it. And....sorry again....I don't admire someone who basically uses bankruptcy as a business practice. There are lots of very wealthy people who have not done that. But...hey....a genius business man like him would know that. He is so amazingly awesome that anyone anywhere close to his brilliant mind should be able to at least look at a graph. Maybe everyone else isn't an Alpha...... So since you're telling me that you're a business-minded person, I want you to tell me what the alternative to declaring bankruptcy is. And you can't say things like "He needed to take more calculated steps" or something of that sort. Sometimes when you're running businesses (especially when you have multiple like Trump) s#it happens. It's bound to happen when you're moving forward. Example: http://blogs.marketwatch.com/energy-ticker/2014/04/29/warren-buffetts-big-mistake-ends-up-in-bankruptcy-court/ So I want you to tell me: You're in Trump's shoes. You've got tens (maybe hundreds) of millions of dollars tied up in a casino that you own, when the casino industry goes to hell. What other options do you have? I will tell you what you do...just like Wesley Snipes said...you always bet on black!
  14. BRB has a hard-on for the Anti-Trump Movement! Go get 'em!
  15. Those trips must be so freaking boring for these guys.
  16. Do you think for X they added some new Xylophones in the players lounge?
  17. I know... No one should have voted for Trump though...I also did not know Kasich dropped out, did he do that today?
  18. Ugggg...another state that is filled with stupid small minded people that are not smart enough to vote for the right person.
  19. Wut. She might be referring to the 25 years she has spent as a slave...to her Husband
  20. You're a moron. I'm great! Everybody loves me! See...you just tried to Alpha! So you admit it is a real thing!
  21. Wait...are people pretending like alpha-dogs are not a real thing? Come on... Now...non-alphas will reply to this...True Alphas will ignore it... Can't wait to see what happens...
