1. Who cares what he thinks? It's just his opinion. It has zero effect on how we do this season. Zero.
2. No one hates LSU. It's childish to think so. People can have their opinions, and if they think LSU isn't going to be as good as we think, it doesn't mean he "hates" LSU. Grow up.

what are our WRs looking like?

thank you for saying "our WRs" instead of the cool and trendy "WR room."

and the A&M obsession continues ...

Geaux font is awesome

I like Geaux font too, but not for the yard line markers.

Need those to go back to traditional.

You know how bad of a person you have to be to get your statue taken down? No one just "finds a reason" to take down a statue. That's ridiculous.

have you been asleep the last 10 years???

Some of y’all gotta stop caring m so much about what these people say.

---

correct. I stopped listening to media pundits a long time ago.

They don't know any more than we do, and they're just giving their opinion - which I couldn't care less about.

Just watch the games and ignore all the talking heads.

You don’t have to always make everything about race automatically by default.

---

correct.

It doesn't make someone a racist because they dislike a black player. They're a racist if they don't like that player BECAUSE she's black.

For example. I don't like Angel, but I love Shaq, Jayden, Honey Badger.

If I'm racist, how would that be explained?

The issue here is that you don’t and want to understand the game of soccer

---

you hit both of the go-to responses from the soccer defenders: I'm not nuanced enough to understand the beauty of the game, and the world loves it.

I noticed you provided no substantive response to my argument that the rules are far too restrictive and prevent scoring opportunities. I won't even get into the nonsensical PKs. In most cases the punishment far exceeds the crime, and since goals are so rare, giving a team a PK seems too much in most circumstances.

you don’t like watching the most popular sport worldwide. You need to stay where you’re at.

---

and of course this argument is silly. Soccer is the world's most popular sport because all you need is a ball. Folks in poor countries can play soccer, but not other sports that require equipment. That's the reason soccer is so popular.

ETA: there's nothing wrong with tweaking rules to make a sport better. Football and basketball do it every year. Even baseball and golf (which both have snooty purists, much like soceer) has tweaked some rules in recent years.

You know that it's ok for you to love soccer, but yet acknowledge that the game could be improved with some tweaks.

The only game anybody should be watching is the us soccer match.

---

uh, no.

Over the years, I've made several honest efforts to try to like soccer. Didn't work.

The game has very little scoring and few legit shots on goal. With a couple rule changes to open things up, soccer could be interesting. But in it's current state, it's a tough watch.

That being said, I do appreciate the national spirit during the World Cup. But the game itself is a no-go for me.

Good for Pawl. Good guy move BUT let’s be real, he’s lucky he won the genetic lottery because he’s got the personality of a wet paper bag.

---

don't know why you're getting downvoted.

Look, I Iove Skenes and Livvy. But they were guest pickers for an ESPN Game Day game a couple years ago and they were both very dry and boring.

Sorry, but that's just true.

You can love a guy AND think he's boring. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

This is on congress.

why?

Where in the US Constitution does it give Congress authority to regulate college sports? (Hint: you won't find it)

90% of what Congress does isn't permitted by the 18 specifically enumerated powers given to the federal government in the U.S. Constitution.
