Can't really argue to be honest. Teams like Arkansas and Alabama have a ton of talent but also some glaring weaknesses.

Look, you wouldn't understand, but the first rule of the Alma McDonald's Bathroom club is you don't talk about the club.

We don't bring up the Tupelo Wendy's Meetings for y'all. Respect our state's perversions like we respect yours.

Morning everyone. Had a week and a half with blehs. You know, not coughing up blood sick, but just sick enough you feel miserable.

Nothing says all American like being sponsored by a company from... err... Australia.

I look forward to the new tailgate traditions of throwing a few shrimp on the barbie (Aussies call them prawns), drinking Fosters (Aussies hate Fosters), and being mauled by a saltwater crocodile.

Best of all when LSU fans begin streaming out of the stadium around half time they can call it the "Walkabout!"

I probably should have put gymnastics in there. Last I checked out of the top 8 teams 7 of them were from the SEC.

Virginia is not a tiny school.

Having Oklahoma in the conference is going to be interesting. I mean our women's sports have interesting ties to Oklahoma. Our soccer team lives off stealing recruits from Oklahoma and Texas, our women's basketball coach is a long time Oklahoma coach (going to be a long year for the Ladybacks, the SEC is not a fun conference to do a major rebuild in), and our softball team is one of the squads really impacted by the new arrivals.

Briefly Arkansas was and we got Chad Morris out of it. Not our finest hour.

Arkansas went just 14-10 and had a really good team. Softball is a meat grinder and that was before we added Oklahoma and Texas.

So one of my favorite reactors on Youtube (A good way to kill an hour while I'm eating or what not) went in for cancer surgery today. She's been battling it for years and she's mostly over it but much better safe than sorry.

Naturally today is when someone hacked her accounts and briefly turned them into a Bitcoin sales front. Both of her accounts were deleted and unless she can can get them back... 500k subscribers and over a decade of content gone. And since you make money on there by the number of views and subscribers you have...

There would be fatalities if that had happened to me. I've worked the gig economy and let me tell you, when it goes bad it goes bad real quick.

No pics because she uses a cartoon avatar after the cancer battle.

And thank God for it. This will be a different type of disappointment from the football and basketball seasons for me. Variety is the spice of life as they say.

That is an excellent question!

Why the hell would they do it? So. Here is a secret about World War II that doesn't get talked about much. Germany, and for that matter Japan, were pretty much making up strategy as they went along.

Hitler promised Germans they would regain "living space" and retake what they had lost at the end of World War I. He also realized that war with the Soviets was inevitable, if only because Stalin would look up from the massacre of his own people sooner or later and take out Germany to be safe. So, beat a weakened France (WW I really wrecked them), declare victory in the West, and then the showdown with the Soviets.

The Nazis, however, never had a plan for what happens if the UK doesn't agree to terms? They were stuck with an enemy they couldn't attack, while marshaling for their war with the Commies. Once the Italians were trounced in North Africa they were stuck with trying to find a way, any way, to knock out the UK.

Germany's insanity in declaring the war on the US was foreordained, Hitler realized that now the US was at war they would surely extend that war to Europe. No problem! Japan would tie them up for years and in the meantime that pesky Land Lease would disappear! No plan for, well crap, it turns out they can fight in both theaters with growing strength.

Sounds odd? Well, Putin's big plan for Ukraine never went beyond, what do we do if we don't end the war in three days? We see how that is going.
