The last drive we did something completely different and soft when the game situation didn't even warrant it and let that dude double his completions for the game.


Not sure I would call a corner blitz soft? He was extremely aggressive that drive and Saban made him pay with a 23 yard screen pass into the blitzing side.

Also McCarron completed 4 passes out of his 14 completions that drive? Certainly not doubling his total. Now it was the drive with the highest number of completions, but McCarron had multiple drives with 3 completions, so it wasn’t much higher, and it was the only drive where the run wasn’t a factor due to the time, so you would expect more completions. Funny how people miss remember things and make them up in their head.
I think the real comparison that needs to be made is against ‘18 Burrow. Currently, same is comparing quite nicely to that. One thing people didn’t take into account when he wasn’t meeting their ridiculously high expectations, Leavitt didn’t get much spring or summer camp work with his injury. I think he could have an absolute monster jump going into next year.
Makes him not a good candidate, but don’t get it twisted, the primary process is not designed to find the best candidate to go against the other party. It solely aimed at identifying the most popular candidate in a given party. It does nothing to identify what candidate would get the most independents or the most cross over votes. It is also very bad at judging which candidates would be good at getting party votes of voters that did not vote for the in the primary. All of those areas the Paxton candidacy is particularly bad at. Will it be enough to lose the general election? Probably but we will see.

Should companies be forced to keep servers running for a game that no one plays? Sucks for you if you bought the game but you can't keep paying thousands of dollars a month to run a server for 10 people who bought a game 5 years ago.


No, but when companies purchase software from other companies like this they require the source code to go into escrow incase that company can no longer fulfill their perpetual license agreements by either cost or bankruptcy.

It would not be hard for companies to release the source code when they shut down servers or sell a license to the code to allow other companies to host servers.
This is stupid but I guess we are here. Fun things you will see in the future:
-playoff teams that have already fired their head coach
-playoff teams with no legit QB because of injury
-a #5 seed Notre Dame get beat 41-14 by the #21 seed Georgia Tech
-a playoff that doesn’t have 2 top 10 teams play each other until the 3rd round of the playoffs

Any other wacky things that would be unheard of before?

Leavitt lead his team to the playoffs already he shouldn't be learning how to play the QB position still. I think it's more he just don't know any of his players and trying to get used to them



Not trying to pick on you but this is exactly how we felt about Jayden Daniels his first year. In fact, everyone was saying how he regressed each year since his amazing freshman year at ASU. In fact, the parallels are a little eerie.
If ESPN wants to be the adult in the room, that's probably best, at this point we all need a relatively unbiased arbitrator. That being said, I am not sure that Sankey will make it out of this.
Chicken already said that Sankey is doing other schools bidding, there are schools that truly want LSU out and it’s more than just Ole Miss. I assume that Tennessee and Georgia also. After that IDK.
I think A&M, they were recently left in the dark on Texas joining, and they have been screwed over by a conference before. Then you have to get Mizzou as well.

Candidly, I think South Carolina and Florida are reasonable pick ups.

The big issue is that it is school presidents that vote and not ADs. This makes it harder, I am concerned that the presidents may not have a full view of what is actually happening.

No way we get Georgia, Tennessee, Bama, Ole Miss, Texas, or Oklahoma. Any other school is probably out as well.
Idk I think he will have plenty of pressure, a schedule that Kelly would have had a losing record with. He could legit go 8-4, it’s pretty brutal, only good part is that most of the tough ones are at home.
I think SMU is the best bet, they have an extremely motivated wealthy fanbase, their issue is that they don’t get any TV right money for another 7 years. So they automatically start in a 40 million dollar hole.
Idk but I’m still pissed about the Peterson interception 18 years later
I would defend him and LSU and I would defend him at Tech.

Should he be suspended? Yeah probably. And I would be much more against him playing if the NCAA hadn’t done this to themselves. They have created all of these issues that they are in and I have no sympathy for their plight. In my playing days they would hand down extreme punishments for the little guys - small schools, non-revenue generating teams, people who spoke out against them, etc. while they would give near free passes to blue bloods, big names, and money makers.

In gambling cases, NCAA should be taking a much tougher stance against schools, they should be fining schools for not monitoring and educating their Student Athletes close enough. They should be making deals with the sports books to report on all accounts created my Student Athletes. And they should have engaged a student athlete association on a Collective Bargaining Agreement a long time ago. Instead they rather complain about the federal
Government not doing their job and states making it hard for the NCAA to operate.

Infact a CBA would end almost all of these lawfare TRO almost immediately.
This would be very very bad.

Bad scenarios:
1. Government owns decision making powers which would at best result in poor management, inefficiency, and bureaucracy. But very likely would be used for corruption, politicians forcing family owned consultants and vendors in order to enrich themselves.

2. Budgets would be dependent on the those companies which means a recession in tech industry would magnify the affect on IRS collections.

3. Businesses that do poorly over time would so greatly affect IRS collections that it would most likely result in protections for those companies which means tech to big to fail. Which would ultimately start killing startups and new companies from competing, which would diminish our tech competitive advantage.

4. If there is corruption or fraud at that company there would be a de-incentive for the government to investigate and prosecute.

Now maybe you could say that the U.S. could start a sovereign wealth fund and invest in some of these companies, but it should be limited to 10-20% effectively restricting how much the government could influence a company. Even still, I think a U.S. sovereign wealth fund should be banned from individual company investments.
It is close enough that a really bad republican candidate could get beat by a really good democratic candidate.

While I do think Paxton is generally a bad candidate, I am not sure that talarico is going to really inspire people outside of the rich elite democratic group.
Well he is probably top candidate to be trusted with the secret bbq sauce.

Edit: for real I think he will take over a lot of ensuring people execute Kiffin vision. But I think he is really looking for another coaching job, so maybe next time Tulane is open.
I honestly have no idea why people are freaking out about this. It doesn’t serve us to fire him yet, so they haven’t. All it would do would be to satisfy the fan base. If they keep holding they are not losing any chances at other options and are also getting the fanbase concerned making it more likely that boosters will start offering up money earmarked for buyouts, new coach, and NIL seed money
I am not for federalizing elections, and I am not for a national popular vote determining president. But I don’t thing those two necessarily should be connected like goofy Harry caray states.

The truth is that each state votes in their own elections for president and their senators and at a more local level their representatives in the house. Those state and local elections should be run by the stars not by the federal government.HOWEVER there is enough impact to citizens of all the other states that there should be agreed upon rules that that each election must comply with. Such rules could be
1. Requirement of ID
2. Validation of Citizenship status
3. Validation of right to vote in a particular race
4. Validation that there are no other votes cast by that same person
5. Reasonable controls to validate mail in votes are not fraudulent
6. Background checks on all poll workers
7. Immutable voting records and Chain of custody requirements.
8. Deadline for receiving votes to happen BEFORE votes tally’s are reported


These are just some ideas, but I think it’s paramount that people have trust in the integrity of their elections, otherwise we do not have a democratic republic
I am not going to say that Bitcoin is the future, but it did present cryptocurrency and decentralized ledgers to the mainstream. crypto is undoubtedly the future, unfortunately, I think it will be a dystopian future.
Actually bitcoin is one of the worst ways possible to make a transaction secretly.

They should be careful about saying 48 business hours, one could read that as 6 business days.
