re: Lindsey Vonn just finished her first downhill run at Cortina

That was a nasty crash. Admittedly I was a bit worried even before her run, and then that happened. Tough way to go out there.

Well, Payton will have all off-season to think about leaving those points on the field. They are about to lose 10-7. Don’t get greedy early in football games, analytics be damned — especially in games where points will be at a premium

Why are you bringing up Obama lol? Wtf does he or his immigration policy have to do with this? Obama may have deported 10 million migrants for all I care — but you know what was not routinely happening at the time? We did not have a rogue clan of poorly trained hot heads (who have obviously been given carte Blanche to use whatever force they deem admissible) gun people down in the street.

Going to be hilarious to see all the ‘don’t tread on me’ types bend over backwards to justify the shooting of a guy who was hunched over, being beat up by 6 brown shirts. Lol. Total joke of a polity at this point.

LSU started off hot but the wheels are coming off quickly here now. Could be a tough night.
re: Muschamp to Texas
Posted by wertheimer on 12/18/25 at 3:37 pm to TexasWranglers
This is strange. I thought Kwiatkowski was doing a pretty good job, and that Texas’ defense was the strength of their team this season. Granted, Muschamp is a very good defensive coach, but Kwiatkowski being ‘fired’ does not seem reasonable. Perhaps there was mutual interest to go different ways?
re: I regret losing to Michigan more than any other loss in the Saban era

Milroe justifiably gets a lot of flack for that game, and he did not play particularly well. But imo Alabama’s center McClaughlin cost them that game in a way. He had numerous bad snaps, including a drive-killing snap either over Milroe’s head or low at his feet that resulted in a 15-20 yard loss that killed a possible scoring drive. This was Alabama’s first drive of 2nd half iirc, and they had the ball just in plus territory, and the offense was moving well. If that horrible snap doesn’t happen and they go down and score there, they probably win the game. A lot of things went wrong for them to blow it.

Classic game. I will never forget that Callaway td on 4th down — it was a real stunner. You almost had to feel bad for UT in that one.

Columbia seems pretty terrible even by Ivy League standards. They will be lucky to score. I guess Harvard has a decent team in the FCS
re: Will Louisiana benefit from the Zohran Mamdani exodus out of NYC?

Lmao, no. Millionaires in NYC are not going to pick up and move to Louisiana b/c their taxes might go up 1-2%. You people are truly delusional.

They deserve to be chewed out tbh. They also look like they do not give a shite.

This thread is actually pretty damn funny. I enjoy this sort of back and forth bickering.
On a note germane to the conversation here, they do grant car notes to basically anyone now. It’s really not that far out of the galaxy to think that a Wendy’s employee could purchase a mid grade vehicle, or perhaps even a somewhat expensive one - especially if it is a full time employee. It’s probably like the housing bubble in ‘08 but much smaller in scale and less significant, so it won’t wreck the world economy if/when defaults sky rocket, and asset values crater.
Regardless of how Saban retained players, he developed them as well as anybody. People act like other teams didn’t also have a high proportion of blue chips — a lot of the top teams did. Saban just had a system where he got the most out his guys.

Have you read any of this one? Sounds like it has gotten lukewarm reviews — or that people were expecting something more grandiose or ‘of the current time’. Not sure why people thought that though, I guess b/c it is likely his last novel.
I still have Gravity’s Rainbow laying around somewhere. Need to finish it.

Damn, RIP. He was a good RB. Seems like he went a bit mad — very sad.
re: NFL Games Already Over

quote:
The new two minute timeout stoppage is a complete momentum killer with it being almost a 4 minute timeout. It feels so incredibly long.
The introduction of a 2 minute warning was so unnecessary at the collegiate level. Also, it always serves to help out a team who is down a possession late in the game. I never understood having a rule that is structurally advantageous for one team over another in a common game scenario. I dislike it for the same reasons at the NFL level but it’s even more ludicrous in college b/c they unilaterally decided to add a stoppage of the clock to show insurance commercials.

Dude the pic of Gaulden flipping the bird to the crowd never gets old. When was that game, 2017? Or was it ‘15?

Hate to see Deatrich Wise go down like that, especially on a damn PAT. That sucks — very unlucky injury for him/the team. He’s a good player.

Yeah sad to hear about MvDP. He was having a good tour.
Very exciting finish today on Ventoux. Thought Healey had another stage win but I think he went a tad early and the Frenchman caught him in the last 50 meters. Very fun race.
