They said the same thing about Trump. I could easily see him doing something similar.
There's a big difference... money. It takes a ton of money to build a candidacy and run for office, especially nationally for president.

Trump had the resources to do so on his own terms, which has kept him from being owned by others (which is why he is so hated).
Stephen A has "casual" wealth. Enough to live comfortably, but not enough to do something like this on his own. So he'd need outside funding, and once that happens, he'd end up being just another puppet.

Serious question,

Do you want us in your regional?
No. A&M is a very talented team that could ruin someone's season. They were ranked preseason #1 for a reason.

My comment about "forget trolling them", is in response to the "where's A&M" comment. Y'all obviously ain't hosting a regional unless you go completely insane the remainder of the season; basically going undefeated from here on out. At that point you're not a national seed but do likely host one of the regionals. But just rebounding back into the conversation after the start y'all had is an accomplishment. You want to get in, and you can make some noise.

As for my comment about Tennessee not being a national seed- that's really odd, to me. I mean, LSU and Tennessee were both Top 10 (maybe around 6-7) teams going into the weekend. LSU emerged as the #2 ranked team.
So, Tennessee goes on the road to #2, controls game 1 and really could have won it. 2 fluke errors in the 9th, or they likely win a shutout.
Game 2, like game 1, is tight but Tennessee holds the edge basically all game long; and this time instead of a late collapse by them, LSU cracks first and Tennessee wins going away.
LSU wins game 3 in the only truly dominant game of the series, but again- Tennessee goes on the road into a tough environment, and easily could have taken the series 2-1. Don't see how you drop them that much. I still put them ahead of Auburn and Vandy, and ahead of the ACC teams.

Forget trolling A&M for now, them even making a regional is an accomplishment after the beginning of the season.

How the hell are Auburn, Vandy and even UGA ahead of Tennessee in this? I mean, no offense to Auburn, but other than sweeping LSU at home that one weekend, what are they doing to be so highly regarded? And how does Vandy even begin to make this list?

Books: Faramir

From the books: Merry

The movies really diminished his role and his accomplishments. But in the books, he was very capable, really punched above his weight class. Physically he was limited as a Hobbit, but still took a Uruk Hai before they were captured. Above the neck, he was probably 3rd in the Fellowship, behind Gandalf and Aragorn, as far as planning, and figuring out what was going on and what was needed.

Remember, he figured Bilbo out on his own, was aware of what Gandalf and Frodo were doing, and had already made plans for Frodo before Frodo even decided to sell Bag End. He was the brains of the Conspiracy.
At Bree, he went and did recon while the others relaxed after dinner.

I think he figured out some of the relevance of Shire pipeweed being in Isengard at the time, and he was the leader of the Shire's uprising against Sharkey's thugs.






I do like this season, but the Ghorman thing was a bit forced with the girls.

I don't really care about their relationship, that they were lesbian lovers etc. They're peripheral to the story. It's just not as moving as, say, Andor and Bix being intimate. Or even Dedra and Syril.

Now, regarding the actual raid, and the aftermath... I actually would have told her to shut the hell up. This isn't their planet, they didn't do any of that to help the Ghormans, just to strike at the Imperials. Everyone else in the room is in this for Ghorman.
So they came in as expert outside advisors to show how to do it, and the only casualty is one of them. And the other one was totally overwhelmed by that, was standing around in shock and would have blown the raid. The Ghormans, multiple times, told her "we have to go". And then, she goes off all high and mighty on them afterwards.
It just put me off.
If LSU can close this out, I'm gonna watch this tonight

I think we're right in the mix with a few teams at the top. We're 3-3 against Tennessee and Texas. Either of those could win it all, so that puts us in play to do so also.

The thing I'm cautiously hopeful for, is that everyone goes into a slump at some point. I think we are coming out of ours, I think Arkansas is going into theirs. Texas hasn't hit one yet.

And Crews was not the best player in SEC history.



Wrong
Well, Miss State had a few good ones. Go see what Will Clark and Rafael Palmeiro did there.

Auburn had Bo Jackson and Frank Thomas, who also did quite well.

And that's not addressing the dozens of guys like Todd Walker or Eddy Furniss, who were elite in college but didn't translate to the bigs.

Kaiju, we've jousted on things before, but you're on the right side with this. His deepfakes for both Star Wars and LOTR are hilarious. Haven't seen the Andor takes yet.

re: 2025 NFL Draft UDFA Tracker

Posted by Scoob on 4/26/25 at 10:36 pm
How many UDFA can you sign???

Asking, because per that link the Chargers and Vikings both have 19
My guess, we're probably gonna sign some guys off the Eagles practice squad. Moore knows them, will know who is better than what we got

re: Moliki Matavao TE round 7

Posted by Scoob on 4/26/25 at 5:53 pm
I know nothing about him, but doesn't seem like a bad 7th rd pick.

6'6, 260lb TE, was UCLA's leading receiver in 2024. Runs 4.8 at that size.

re: Reece Davis is the MVP of day three

Just... wow

I watched NFL Network day 2, not watching anything but tracker for day 3.
I laughed at the talking heads the first day, saw the various Mel Kiper remarks online, and honestly thought y'all were exaggerating a bit for humor's sake.

This is insane, unhinged. You could tell the other guys wanted so bad to tell him to shut the frick up, but couldn't on air.

I think he's lost his mind, ala Keith Olbermann

umm... the draft isn't over yet....

yeah. Hell, we have 2 picks left.
I'm thinking we can still get a serviceable lineman (that might make the team) in this spot
So I've looked at a couple of his films, and dude is better than many here seem to think.

I don't particularly care if he's over 21. If he's good and healthy, he's not retiring at 30.
