4 horrible losses

-Wisc Brandon Harris INT
-Auburn - got robbed on last min TD
-Bama 3 holds during only TD
-Florida stopped at goal line

Spin zone: greatest 8-4 team ever?

They were really damn good imo.

You'd have the think that a coach that could develop a QB could've maximized what Harris/Etling had to offer to at least make you functional. Hell, Lane made Blake Sims pretty damn good at Bama. Somebody could've gotten something out of Harris imo.

If you had any kind of a pulse at the QB position that season, you were good enough elsewhere to win it all but with no captain to run the ship, you finished in mediocre fashion.

I'd imagine their women avoid sun related skin damage.

Why do we pretend like Muslims are so oppressed and need saving?

---

My theory? It doesn't have much to do with the muslims themselves or their history on this planet. The reason the modern day left and the muslims have tended to align themselves together is strictly because of the common enemy of the western world. The marxists left sees every evil of the world through the lens of the oppressors and the oppressed. They want to see this dynamic toppled and they want to remove traditional western values from power. The muslims want to usher in a worldwide caliphate and need to eliminate western, christian values to do so.


Now, if you put a marxist lefty and a muslim in a booth together and got them to talk about what they actually believe, they'd agree on very little but it's not about that. It's about ousting the christian western world but make no mistake, theoretically if they succeeded, the muslims would turn on the marxist lefties so fast it would be unbelievable. The muslims know this and even though deep down, they cannot stand the trans, lgbt, free love and sex, debacherous lifestyle of the modern left, they're willing to let them exist temporarily without pushback because they're essentially useful idiots that the muslims hope will help them on the road to their ultimate goal.

Hiw hard is it doing the fluid shits at home. She is a baby

---

It's not very hard. Just make sure when you pinch the skin that you don't go through and through because you'll shoot fluid everywhere when you turn the bag on. It's really not too bad, just hold some pressure when you're done so they don't leak on the floor. Ours was little so sometimes, we'd give her fluids on both sides so she wasn't so lopsided while it absorbed.

Honestly, do it at the vets office a couple times to get the hang of it. Go at an angle so you don't hit muscle and it's a piece of cake.

Horrible week found out my pops has cancer in liver from lung cancer. Now today found out my dog whom is 16 has kidney failure stage 2. Anyone ever had pet with that happen to them? They want to pump fluids in her twice a week . Cost us no issue but is it worth it? June has been horrible to me. One if my best friend passed at work. Cousin passed unexpected during stent implanting, wife brother passed heart attack , my pops found out about stage 4 cancer now in liver and now dog has kidney failure. Any help would be appreciated. This is my online family, actually love you guys , helps keep my sanity.

I'm so sorry Baller. We had to put our GSD down this week too due to stomach and spleen cancer and it feels like my chest has been shattered.

Last year, we had the same issue with our 17 year old and we did the subQ fluids at home for awhile. She was a bit of a baby about the needle but it really wasn't too bad when my wife and I did it together. I think it helped to buy us some time until her body just couldn't go anymore. It definitely saved money doing it at home instead of bringing her to the vet everyday for fluids. Looking back on it, she was just so tired and worn out. I'm so sorry about your dad and family. Grief is unavoidable but so incredibly painful.

I'm so, so sorry, Cricket... truly. Our pets are part of the family and it really hurts when they leave us.

Thanks. Me and my wife are just devastated. He was 10.5 and was doing fine a month ago or so we thought. Stopped eating as much 3 weeks ago. Stopped eating at all 2 weeks ago. Went to every doctor imaginable last week to find out what's wrong. Found the cancer in his stomach and on his spleen this week. He was gone on tuesday. Rescued him from a shelter in Bossier when he was a year old. Poor guy had heart worms, a partially broken hip, a cauliflower ear and was only 37 lbs. We nursed him back to health and had 9 great years with him. I feel like there's a hole in my chest. I have moments where I feel okay or even laugh and smile but it feels like my heart has been ripped out.

Yeah, I mean I get it and knew he'd handle it fine.

But everyone watching already knew they did that. If they were that bothered would they have been watching in the first place?

I suppose it does increase his brand awareness with that demographic which is a positive.

I will say that in an ideal world, this gets him appearing well spoken and measured in front of an audience of presummably women for the most part so I agree with your last point.

It wasnt scheme, and it wasnt coaching.

Disagree here. Coaching is more than just giving players information and running drills. Part of the job is getting in between the ears of your players in a good way and training their minds to succeed as much as you train their bodies. Matt House failed in two ways to prepare that 2023 defense.

1) He made the mistake of trying to make LSU into an NFL defense. People will tell you that both Matt House and Joe Sloan for that matter are as impressive on the white board as anyone you'll find. They know football like you wouldn't believe. Unfortuantely for both and specifically Matt House here, he tried to install such a complex defense that the players couldn't grasp it. An NFL team with nothing to do all day but prepare because football is their job is far different than college players who have far less time in their day.

2) The players hated Matt House. By the end, they had no faith in him whatsoever and they played accordingly. You ever worked for a boss that was completely out of touch with reality? How'd your productivity look? How'd the staff's productivity look? House failed dramatically on both of these points.

Consider yourself lucky. I've, unfortunately, seen much of how the baptist sausage is made and it's ridiculous to watch tbh. It's operates like a big political machine, no doubt about it. I've watched them run some incredible pastors and leaders (all conservative men btw) out of the organization simply because of politics and BS. They walk around with an arrogant, entitled mentality that reminds me so much of the religious elites during Jesus' earthly ministry. Time and again I've watched them "stand on principle" when it suits them but drag their feet on matters that actually deserve attention.

A quick example, I knew of a young college student that effectively SA'd a female student. They were making out and he stuck his hands down her pants and when she said she didn't wanna go that far, he didn't stop immediately. Basically pushed her into continuing and when she wouldn't, he stood up and dropped his pants and stood in front of the door. She pushed her way past him and reported him to the authorities. The police said it was a he said/she said so legally not much came of it. This guy, however, came from one of the "in families" in the baptist world and was being prepped to become a baptist campus minister. When the church he was interning at asked him about what happened, he admitted the whole thing to them.


Keep in mind, this same baptist church (a big and influential one) was in the process of trying to kick churches out of the convention that didn't align with them on women in leadership and here they had a chance to do the right thing. What did this church do instead? They swept it under the rug, said "he's a good boy that made a mistake" and kept him on the runway to be a young baptist pastor where he still is today. These same people and leaders at this same church in town have been blasting other churches regularly for "not following what's clear in scripture" and have openly said in their messages how glad they are to "not be like those other churches that ignore God's word."


I can't stand the SBC and their little religious boys club and I honestly hope it burns to the ground. To be frank, I think Jesus has had some things to say on the matter and in my bible, entitled, arrogant, elitist religious guy is not the one you want to be when Jesus comes around.

I don’t watch a whole lot UFC, but that final card, that Ilya dude is a fricking warrior and the US dude just pulled that shite out with heart and tenacity.

Make no mistake, you just saw a monumental upset. I know the betting lines showed that but it's hard to convey just how dominant Topuria had been leading up to this fight if you weren't tuned in. The guy made Holloway, Oliveria and Volk look like scrubs, all of whom are Hall of Fame level fighters and former champions, and Justin just flat beat him up last night.
