I’m curious what ICE was doing because the Tom Homan said they couldn’t run the X Ray machines. It’s amazing what this administration can do.

Makes you wonder how necessary the X Ray machines even are when half the time if there's more than 3 people queued up, they just start waiving people through the metal detector anyway.

The people complaining about this have absolutely no problem with giving billions to illegal immigrant welfare chasers, tranny procedures on minors, Somali ripoff artist, Ukraine and LGBTQ+ bullshite! But make the world a better place for 200 billion? Nope! Can’t do that!

I know it’s a crazy thought but there actually many people who support neither and think the government spends about 3x the amount it should overall.

Pave the roads. Support hospitals, schools, law enforcement, and other public necessities. Keep a military strong to defend our country but not to conquer or defend others. Do the basic blocking and tackling to benefit the lives of ordinary citizens (not illegals, beyond keeping them in humane conditions until they can be deported). Otherwise, get out of our lives and leave us the hell alone.

I think plenty people post about democrat shortfalls...agree? Would one more make a difference? My point...look in the mirror, both parties have warts.

No shite that's why everyone was hopeful with DOGE. Unfortunately that appears to have done little, and has since disappeared.

I can’t speak for every grad from Southern New Hampshire but one of my supervisors at my last job (I’m retired now) was an SNHU grad. Dumber than a box of rocks. Made me wonder just how challenging that school is.

---

There are some really unfortunate HBCU's near me where nearly every graduate is like this. I feel terrible for the poor kids who end up there. They sell a dream of college to kids who have no business going to college and would be much better off with a 2-year degree, trade certification, or military. Instead they go and get tens or hundreds of thousands in debt, 75%+ don't graduate, the average time to graduation is nearly 7 years, and the graduates you do see (I see a lot in job interviews I do) can barely read and write. I work in litigation and we regularly sue these schools for various things. They're run by incredibly incompetent and corrupt officials who live off of the HBCU designation, the shield from scrutiny it provides, and ridiculous amounts of federal grant money that somehow never seems to make its way into improving their decrepit facilities and barren faculty departments.

The left doesn't care if they're exposed as hypocrites.

What this has hopefully done, with the left all of a sudden defending first and second amendment issues, and the right attacking the same, is expose both parties as absolutely spineless. Neither of them care about these actual issues, they care about power. They will say whatever benefits them at that moment, and say the opposite the next if they think it helps them stay in power.

Both parties are a plague on our country.

Honestly the response from leadership is way more indefensible than the actual shooting. The shooting is chaotic and the video is unclear. Nobody has a clear understanding of precisely what happened and why in the ~30 seconds or so from the time the altercation happened to when the shooting occurred. God only knows right now if that gun accidentally fired, or who said what, or where the guys hands were fumbling around relative to the weapons carried by the officers on top of him, or what was going through those officers minds.

But then today, Bovino said “If you call agents Gestapo and what they do kidnapping, there are consequences to your actions, and I think we saw that yesterday.”

Yesterday Noem said the guy was a threat, that he intended to hurt officers, and the shooting was justified, purely based on the fact that that he was lawfully carrying a gun.

These are core first and second amendment principles. If you said censorship and gun rights were important issues when democrats were in office, you shouldn’t stand for this response by Noem and Bovino now.

And the sad part is if you’re a true red-pilled MAGA - what they’re saying isn’t even remotely necessary to defend the officers in this case or justify their actions.

It's not just the evals and old players. Cignetti demonstrated a model of essentially combining two programs. Penn State and Oklahoma State are about try the same thing.

He raided the entire roster of JMU when he left. He took guys he knew were good. It wasn't about an eval of tape. It was about having guys that he's already coached and watched on the field, in practice, for months or years, and knowing with certainty who's got it and who doesn't. Plus they already know your system, your playbook, your coaches, etc.

He essentially took the best halves of a top tier G5 program and a bottom tier P5 program and combined the two to make a title contender.

Although the one constant of the last forty years still remains true. Not much matters if you don't have the QB, and they certainly had that.

I read these are a combination of market value and their current social media platforms(clicks/followers). It is still a guess.

---

Yeah they don't have any actual data from teams on what players are getting paid.

It's a number they come up with based on industry data for value of various social media followers, with an adjustment they make up for positional value and recruiting rankings. Basically just a wild guess but it's a good marketing tool for On3's product.

Tuscaloosa News also reported shortly after the season that he dealt with elbow bursitis and gastritis (why he couldn't eat, lost about 8 pounds) during the back stretch of the season. Plus the cracked ribs in the Indiana game. Ty was a warrior out there for us, and was a lot more banged up than people realized.

There’s not a shot in hell one of Jam, Riley, Or Hill isn’t equivalent to Brian Robinson and his cement shoe feet. Him and Hill are mirror images of each other.

Robinson has been solid in the NFL. Not sure any of our current guys will have that outcome. But I see your point, particularly with Hill. Robinson certainly had a much better OL in his money year for us.

I know one thing for damn sure, though. None of our current RBs could hold Brian Robinson's jock strap in pass protection.
