How, exactly, would any deal with Iran improve the situation of its citizens? If these people, who have risked everything, do not get the support they need, how can we expect any oppressed citizens to challenge their government? We do not need to effect regime changes , but rather facilitate it with willing peoples.
Our terms are probably something along the lines of:
1) cut all ties with China, Russia and North Korea
2) the Ayatollah and senior IRGC leadership need to shave, strip to their underwear, and go out and mingle with the Iranian protesters
3) allow the IDF and Mossad complete access to all military and research facilities, as well as a comprehensive list of contacts in Palestine
Otherwise, we will blow the frick out of them.
See, we tried to work with them...

We needed a game like this, just to refocus...
Better to happen early, instead of in the SEC.
And yeah, we're probably going to club our way out of it tonight

re: The joke Trump made about women’s hockey was unacceptable
Posted by Scoob on 2/24/26 at 12:17 pm to JiminyCricket
I think, if you aren't trying to be offended by things, Trump's remarks are understandable.
The men's gold was a big upset, even though there were NHL players on the team, because the Canadians had the superstars.
The women's team was actually favored to win going in. The Canadians played them tough and controlled most of the match, but the US was the betting favorites.
So what the men did was the greater accomplishment, but Trump said they'd have to share the stage.
I think the women were actually being gracious by declining.

re: Predict total number of losses for this baseball team

quote:Yeah, I was thinking 13 to 15.
hey’ll lose 9-13 SEC games, 1-2 non conference, 1-2 SEC tournament and 1-3 through regionals, SR, CWS.
Call it 14 losses with a real natty shot again.
Which is really good for an SEC team.
I think Johnson understands the postseason pitching dynamics, as he's been able to win 2x CWS so far. Season won't be about winning every single game, it will be about winning enough to host, and developing what he needs to make a run again. We're going to lose a couple games, including a series or two, where people lose their minds, but he'll do so to prepare the 2nd tier guys for their upcoming roles. I don't think he cares about sweeping series nearly as much as guys getting time and being ready for the playoffs
quote:McMahon's teams generally made it as far as Wade's in the tourney, despite being a mid-major instead of a major conference team with some history of success.
“Wasn't considered a downgrade from Wade at al”
Whoever thought this didn’t watch his teams at Murray State
Wade seemed to have peaked at making the 2nd rd. And Wade couldn't handle Oats. And by far the biggest thing, he lawyered up and refused to speak to the BoS.
Lots of people thought we were lucky to land McMahon at the time, thought he'd avert the impending collapse after it all burned down under Wade at the end.
It didn't work out that way. Time to move forward.
re: Was McMahon hired because he was the only option?

Good summation. Not absolving Woodward because the contract has become a disaster. But it was probably necessary to land McMahon, who actually wasn't a bad candidate. When McMahon was hired, not too many people were saying he had only been successful because of Ja Morant. And he had won a game in two different NCAA tournaments while with Murray State. Pretty good candidate, on paper.
I know people find this hard to believe, but from coaching to hiring, sometimes coaches and administrators make a choice that's good and reasonable that, in hindsight, just doesn't work out.
And I'm not in the camp that he deserves to come back next year. It hasn't worked out here, and won't work out here.
Yeah, I don't understand people trying to dispute that.
McMahon didn't work out here, it's been bad.
But it was considered a very good hire at the time. Wasn't considered a downgrade from Wade at all, in fact some people thought maybe McMahon would be the guy who could beat Oats at Bama (who owned Wade).
It just didn't work, and it's now past time to move on.

I was 11, and the Olympics was such a huge deal to young me back then. We really didn't have that much option to watch other things, so we all hung on those tape-delayed broadcasts.

I'm really not sure what we're going to do... the country WANTS to flip. It shouldn't take much of a push, honestly.
Maybe some shock and awe on military instillations, especially where the imported goons (non-Iranians brought in to quell the rebellion) are hanging out. Bunker busters for the command and control, and government. That way we can drive them out into the streets and let the people take them.
This has serious potential for a feel-good "liberation of Iran" moment, if we play it right. Strong show of supporting force, hit what forces can do damage to rioters, let them do the rest.
I don't think the Chinese do any more than token support, not if we're coming in hot.

Ah, no 10 run rule in the 9th? Didn't know that.
What might be throwing you off- LSU normally 10-runs teams at home, which means they have the bottom of the inning. Which means, if they hit 10, it's over.
We have the top of the inning this game

I posted almost this exact question on the Tech Board the other day, because I've been dissatisfied by google. Not only are they not sending me many relevant results, it seems to be increasingly curating woke stuff into the results too.
BTW I used to use Alta Vista :cheers:
What I'm doing for now, which seems to work- I will click on a forum listing for a result, and then browse through that forum for people posting links to other sites. I use those links to look for more results, and look for more links :lol:
At some point I tend to find a good, knowledgeable "mother" forum with lots of info, although it's almost never from the initial google search.

That's because there is heavy manipulation and message-pushing on the internet. It's been going on awhile.
I noticed, going into the 2020 presidential elections- Joe Biden had listed on his official website, that he wanted to ban semiautomatic firearms. It was an specific statement. That was his stated position.
I'm a gun owner, own a number of different guns. I'm a member of quite a few firearms sites and forums. I noticed that any mention of this- even posting a link or screenshot of Biden's site- would result in your post being deleted, you'd get a warning, and would be banned if you kept doing it. S&Wforums and some other places, big sites.
This was not like some sparring on the Political Board here, this was relevant to your ownership. One guy wanted to restrict your gun ownership, it is absolutely a relevant topic for a gun site.
It would be like owning a classic hotrod, being on a site dedicated to that, and discussing a candidate who wanted to ban gasoline engines. It's intrinsic to the hobby. It's not about immigration policies, it's directly about the reason the website exists in the first place.
Finally, a big site (thehighroad), the administrators responded to the complaints.
There was heavy pressure from the website owners (companies that owned the internet space those sites were on), to NOT discuss this. There was an AR site, ARF.com, that was shut down for allowing this to be discussed. Godaddy and some other owner sites; if you mentioned any of Biden's policies in a negative manner, your site would be deleted.
Thehighroad posted this and a lot of info, and stated they were doing this and trying to prepare for being deplatformed.
If this went on for firearms, I'm certain it also was going on for EV vs gas engine stuff. That's when they were trying to force EV down our throats.
It's far more insidious than people realize- it's not so much direct propaganda, but instead it's blocking opposing views from even being discussed. Lot of money involved in this.

That has to be an alltime great performance in LSU baseball history, we don't make it out of the regional without it. Propelled us to the national title.
But as far as consistently talking shite, I'd have to say it's Guidry. Dude seems like he'd be talking and staring down people even if he was just a waiter somewhere...
"now that's a fricking poboy! Sit the frick down and eat it! You want some more tea, bitch?

I doubt Wade would come back here. You need to remember, for the North Carolina schools in the ACC, if basketball is good then that program is king. Football is just a way to pass time until the next basketball season, and make some money for the athletic department.
That means Wade is in a place where he becomes the biggest coach on campus, if he delivers.
That would never happen at LSU, or anywhere in the SEC outside of Kentucky.
You can downvote all you want, it doesn't change the dynamics.
