of your list the only ones i sort of agree with are 1) trans people should be free to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt others. I would support not allowing trans surgery before age 21 or something like that. and they should be treated with dignity. 2) DEI did more harm than good, it's over. But, I would support something along the lines of helping lower income people get some extra help early in life. That would be towards having a more equal opportunity society.
because I don't believe in all of those things.

This reminds me of one of those stories I've heard about atheists.. Where an atheist lists all these reasons why they don't believe in God... Because God does all these bad things, etc, and the Christian responds, "I don't believe in that God, either."

Algorithms are tearing us apart

I'm a liberal. I'm friends with many liberals and many conservatives. I think we largely want the same things and we have some differences how to get there. I'm for small government. Less regulation so housing costs can go down. Progressive income tax. Gun control. Health care for everyone and more affordable heatlhcare for everyone. Conservatives have policy differences from me for sure.

I think we have algorithms in social media that polarize us because it's more profitable. Anger gets more clicks. I'm a susceptible to it.

On this board there are people saying they can't live in the same country as me. Some hinting liberals should be killed. Some saying kicked out of the country. My conservative friends don't come to these same conclusion about me.

We all need to be careful what the algorithms from big tech are doing to us.

and that what makes it such a bad hire. UGA should not be rolling the dice.

Knowing what was known at the time, Zook was a better hire.

Bama defense sucked in 13, 14, wasn't that great in 12 either. Maybe it gets better.
I think McElwain will turn out the better coach in long run than Smart. But I don't know anything.
I would respect LSU for ditching him. Little chance Miles wins a championship and if you aren't playing for championships what's the point. Hell, even Aubrin has proven they can win a championship, no reason for LSU not to try for it. Sure, they can go 6-6 for a few years but at least they will be giving a championship a shot.
Bama wins 6 times.

Homefield is not much advantage. I can see it going either way on Saturday.

Gotta earn a national championship and LSU is the team to make us earn it.

Seems biased to me. Especially for a national broadcast.
If LSU beats Georgia by 2TDs there's a good chance.

I may have a new favorite opposing player. Awesome. Reminds me of Larry Bird.

thank god your dumb arse was not calling plays. you blitz you loose against manziel.


Lets take the 95 yard touchdown pass. If we rushed more than they could block the play could have gone any worse?

If we blitzed all day we would have given up 695 yards of offense instead of 628?

Blitzing would not have created turnovers too? Possibly got some shots in on Manziel that could have physically slowed him down?


Defensive Strategy against Manziel

Posted by Thirteen on 9/15/13 at 9:54 pm
After 3 quarters of Bama getting torched it was perfectly clear the defensive strategy was a failure.

If you are going to go down, and giving up 628 yards is as down as down gets, at least go down throwing some punches. I would have blitzed the ever living shite out of that motherfricker.

Couldn't have possibly gone any worse.
It looks to me like a lot of teams have figured out when Alabama plays man coverage you can throw to covered receivers. The cornerbacks never play the ball in the air. The corners can be draped over the receiver but the receiver can still make the catch cause the CB's don't play the ball.

This happened frequently in the A&M/Bama game and probably accounted for 250 yards of offense. I doubt LSU will make the same mistake. Frankly, I expect Chavis to do a better coaching job against A&M than Saban did.

We all know LSU will run the ball all over A&M. If there aren't an excessive amount of miracle Manziel plays (he's used up at least 3 against Bama) I see LSU winning.
