The only one that went blue was Senate solely because Darline Graham was the most dumbass dogshit candidate I've ever seen run in this state by the R's.

She went into debates and said things publicly like, "national security isn't my thing, but I support the military." Even if that's true, how do you say that in a debate?

People in this state want conservatives, but they want conservatives who can functionally think for themselves. Anyone near the center was not voting for her.

The only reason she won the primary is because Trump endorsed her and for the MAGAs here, that's all that mattered. Not actually winning the midterm.

---

This sounds amazingly similar to what LA ran with Letlow. Total dogshit candidate that inspires zero confidence. I hope someone primaries her in her next election but this will be SIX frickING YEARS. She'll probably get rubberstamped as our candidate until she loses and gives us a wackjob Democrat for six years. And Trump had his hands all over her waltzing unopposed into this office without demonstrating a modicum of competence.

There is a lot of blame to go around for this shite sandwich we've been dealt.

No offense…but the “won’t debate” argument always makes me laugh

Well it didn't make me laugh during the primaries. I wanted to hear what these candidates had to say in their own words and wanted them to demonstrate competency so I could determine which Republican I thought best to meaningfully represent my interests and to defeat the Democrat. These aren't household names running for Senate where we all know everything there is to know and debates tell you nothing about the candidates. She didn't want to debate because she already had a Trump/Landry endorsement. She was selected and debating did not serve HER personal political interests. Not a good sign to the Republican voters that your leading candidate doesn't want you to hear much from her because maybe you might not like it much and decide you'd rather someone else.

Not debating leaves the door open to corrupt candidate appointments where we really have no idea who we are voting for, the party apparatus simply selects the candidates behind closed doors. Jamie Davis is not a good candidate. Any capable Republican should welcome debate with him. It's pathetic that she basically hides and gives hollow canned remarks . Based on how she sounded in her one debate showing with Fleming though I understand. She is a weak candidate who is obviously going to serve someone's interests in office. I guess our pittance is we'll get her voting with party interests if she wins. The flip side is that party interests may be just what John Thune wants. Or big donors. And she may fold on principles when the political winds sway and she needs to please other masters.

I was in the stadium and I can tell you that my butthole was puckered for the entire 4th quarter. The momentum had swung hard to Bama and you could absolutely feel it in the stadium. It was rocking during the transition from the 3rd to the 4th quarter. I hate those Gump bastards but man, that was an amazing gameday atmosphere from start to finish. It ended the right way too, so I will remember it fondly. :lol:

The Republican Party needs bulldogs in leadership positions. Not careerists. Not appeasers or centrists. We're wasting critical time and opportunities with leaders who are either not tough enough or not interested in taking meaningful action.

LSU totally shite the bed in the Kentucky game. I about put my head through the wall on the punt return.

According to the article, the SEC says there was an attempt to circumvent or defy SEC professionalism rules by the LSU basketball and football teams.

Sounds to me like an employee who always pushes the limits of company policies and stirs up trouble for the manager. Maybe no rules were actually broken...but there is still a disruptive employee to deal with.

Except when you get down to the nitty gritty of giving the example of this, it can easily be countered and demonstrated that LSU was simply following suit with the trend both nationally and with other conference members. LSU complied with the SEC IN SPITE of the courts ruling in LSU's favor and explicitly against the SEC.

quote:

I think that the lawsuit is what everyone thinks is going on but I think it's more about what LSU has done throughout their athletic programs. The coaching hires they've done lately, the governor and his involment, then this whole way the pro players thing happened.

---

So the SEC is punishing LSU because they don't like their coaching hires? You may actually be right, but the SEC hasn't said this. Also, are you suggesting the SEC should be able to decide who LSU can hire? Does LSU have to get permission from the SEC before hiring a coach? Kiffin was coaching Ole Miss, the SEC seemed to be fine with him as an SEC coach. Will Wade was coaching at NC State. The SEC had no complaints with Will Wade being an NCAA legitimate coach. Can you explain what you mean by suggesting they have some legitimate grievance regarding "the coaching hires they've done lately"? So you think this is retribution from the SEC for LSU acting in their own interests and legally hiring coaches that, behind the scenes, perhaps the SEC office preferred they not hire?

And LSU of couse, ad nauseum, did not play much less even roster "pro" athletes, even though the court system, which the SEC has previously accepted as legitimate in deciding eligibility issues that were in question, ruled that LSU was justified to roster and play them.

The SEC selectively changed their standard regarding court rulings and arbitrarily told LSU they rejected the court ruling and would punish LSU for rostering the players. LSU then complied with the SEC decision, even though they had legal justifications. What is the problem exactly?

The whole thing has been very rougue, very we don't give a shite what everyone thinks, we going sue if you don't like it.

---

Can you explain what you mean by "very rogue"? Does LSU have some obligation to "care what everyone thinks"? This is very vague and irrelevant language to whether LSU violated contractual rules and obligations. Also, LSU has not sued anyone. The SEC has sued LSU.

You seem to be regurgitating the vague language and insinuations of the SEC office but like them, you are not making any valid arguments in their defense.

That's definitely a Japanese knee mortar round and Japanese grenades. Not sure what the long piece in the middle is but isn't a German grenade.

Or offensive line sucks. We got little push the whole night we couldn't run the ball at the end of the game.

This is a reality that prevents this team from achieving its goals. The O-line is not good. You can mask it as best you can with scheme but it's a major factor in our losses. We don't have a complete team, so expectations should be tempered to reflect this reality.

I have. Calling him moronic and calling him vile are two totally separate things.
