re: RPI Projections on Warren Nolan

There are 35 at-large bids. An RPI in the 40s has a decent chance of getting you in. As a defending champ, they probably get in with that RPI alone because the committee has always had some leeway.


This is a relief to see. I was assuming the outlook was much worse. I'll take that all day long.

They've looked bad for sure, but for some reason all LSU teams play better as underdogs.

Who knows. Maybe they can get their heads on straight and make it interesting down the stretch.
You know they will punish Hungary as much as they can for daring to oppose them. Sucks for those people. They are basically a vassal state of the EU now.

Sovereignty is important.

I didn't say it would be fun. My point was that he would not have the same experience as another man convicted of the same crimes.

I will be shocked if he serves time at all. The upper echelon of the political class in this country has a much more user-friendly judicial system than the rest of us.

This doesn't exist.


My terminology may be wrong, but in substance you know I'm right. If convicted, he won't be thrown into a super max with rapists and murderers.

He will have a much more comfortable stay...if he goes to jail at all.

Do you disagree?

Just watch.

Are they leading the coalition with a kayak?

Damn right.
So much better than the shite culture of 2020s. We never spent a second thinking about all the culture war crap that people lament 24/7 today.

One note: Eminem and Limp Bizkit were about the least consequential musicians you could have mentioned from the era the brought us Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice & Chains, the Black Keys, 311, Sublime, Nine Inch Nails, and so many more.

Thanks for reposting this.

Miss St. is the perfect example of how fast $$$ can turn things around with the right coach in place.

The pitiful outing last night has everyone extra salty, me included. Hopefully the boys get their act together today and make Sunday interesting.
Good, but it should be a forgone conclusion.

Why aren’t the cops pursuing charges yet? I mean, if you’re not a shite bag politician and you harass and assault multiple women, your arse goes straight to jail.

Seems like there’s ample evidence to make an arrest if the texts and lewd photos mentioned in the cnn article are legit.
JJ needs to go psycho on them like the old coach did in Bull Durham. Storm the showers with an armful of bats screaming about “lolligagging.” LOL.

Of course those actors were depicting broke minor league players with heart rather than the NIL princesses of today.

It seems like a lot of these dudes have no dawg in them. Just contractors working a short hitch.

Yep, for years now. Stuff like this will make it very easy politically for the US to walk away. What a bunch of clowns. How many thousands of women did the Iranian regime torture and murder this year, over clothing choices?

I think the answer is obvious. When we make a deep run in Omaha, we miss the opportunity to sign the top portal guys.


Seems like there’s some truth to that.

Like a lot of people, I’ve been patient with this team. But tonight, they absolutely mailed it in. Most seemed disinterested, and all the errors made it clear that they were checked out.

Not a good look against a really shitty Ole Miss team.
Waste of money. Trump knows stunts like this get the boomers all fired up. Just red meat for his base.

I thought all the good fiscal conservatives here would be pissed about their taxes being wasted? :lol:

What’s the functional purpose of the Army and Marines at this point?


Kill bad guys and break stuff. Every modern war devolves into a door-kicking in phase. Until the T1000s are ready, humans still have to do that.

Also, dudes with guns and materiel can still perform in most any environment, even if some kind of cyber attack cripples all of our fancy smart weapons and such.

The Marines are also unique in that they are basically a multi-modal expeditionary force, with their own "air force" etc. People pick on Marines (not to their face), but they have a unique way of doing things that's pretty bad arse.

And deterrence is still worth a lot in this world. Think about what it would be like to be a British citizen right now, with Putin just tea-bagging your navy 20 miles offshore.

Peace through strength.

LOL, yikes. I guess he has no choice, but I just googled the UK's submarine assets, and if that's remotely correct they are in no position to talk trash. Interesting that he mentioned their allies' support. Germany probably still has legit naval assets. Maybe they're providing the muscle for little brother.

I visited a ship yard in South Korea in 1999, where they turned out a very large ship every week, assembly line fashion. Thats 52 weeks start to finish. 25000 welders on site with fantastic quality control.

taking 4-8 years to build out a functioning navy ship is just malfeasance


Commercial ships or naval vessels? I know the federal contracting process is a major drag here. Not sure if it's that way everywhere. 25k welders on site is nuts, though. Ingalls in MS is the biggest shipyard I've even been to, and I think they only employ 12-15k people, total.
