MAGA "patriots" play stupid games and receive stupid prizes.

Anyone notice he sucked in the Texas spring game? Weak arm, totally overwhelmed.

Writer Billy Connelly (ESPN) has been previewing the different conferences and conference divisions and release his Sun Belt East article today. It's very in-depth and covers a lot of content regarding The Herd.
Sun Belt East Preview

It's Premium content so I don't want to get anyone in trouble but I will share some snippets:

"My anti-divisions stance is on the record, and I'm slowly getting my way. The Pac-12, ACC and Mountain West have all ditched their divisions in favor of more sensible scheduling and potentially stronger title games, and only four of 10 FBS conferences still use divisional structures. It's great when sense occasionally takes over this sport.
I don't want change to ever touch the Sun Belt East, however. It's perfect. It's geographically sensible -- as far as my Google Maps skills can take me, only one matchup is more than an eight-hour drive away (and Marshall vs. Georgia Southern is still less than nine) -- and competitive: At least three of its current members have finished in the SP+ top 75 for five straight years."

"There's room for another East contender. Is it Marshall or App State? (Or both?)"
"...Marshall's trajectory was the direct opposite. Charles Huff's Thundering Herd started just 4-4 due to a dismal offense and frustrating losses to Bowling Green and Louisiana, but the offense improved just enough behind freshman quarterback Cam Fancher to get out of the dominant defense's way. They won their last five games, averaging just 23.8 points per game in that span but allowing a paltry 13.6. SP+ ranked the Herd 122nd on offense (and 121st in special teams) and eighth on defense.
SP+ likes Marshall a bit more than App this season, but I can't decide. Fancher had a run of strong November performances, but the offense still must replace last year's three best players in running back Khalan Laborn, receiver Corey Gammage and left guard Cedrice Paillant. The return of Rasheen Ali from injury will help; he rushed for 1,401 yards in 2021, then knocked out 273 in the last three games of last season. The line should still have solid experience, but there are no proven big-play threats in the receiving corps. Scoring some easy points via chunk plays could be important if or when the defense regresses. Of the 14 defenders who logged 300-plus snaps, eight are gone. So is coordinator Lance Guidry, who was promoted to the same job at Miami.
New coordinator Jason Semore will inherit some excellent pieces in each unit, from ace pass rusher Owen Porter to linebacker Eli Neal to corner Micah Abraham, but Huff felt the need to bring in eight transfers -- including App State linebacker KeSean Brown and former Texas A&M four-star corner Josh Moten -- to keep standards high. After ranking eighth, the defense has almost nowhere to go but down, so the offense will need to lurch forward a good amount."

The shit storm is coming and America is going to get a taste of it. The free money is running out. The profits are going down. The housing market in many areas is upside down and over inflated.

Oh, the commercial office space that has sat empty is getting ready to pay the piper. The loans are coming due. The leases are up. Can only sit empty so long.

High interest rates. Inflation is still way high.

Hang on America, you didn't like mean tweets, but here comes the shit sandwich. Later this year and into the fall/winter are going to probably be different.

Keep watching the layoffs. Companies are playing with those numbers as well. They are doing it in smaller waves, that add up, as to keep it on the down low so their stocks don't get distrupted.

You wanted it, you are going to get it.

First 4 months of 2023 total at 1.1 million. Are we still counting the jobs numbers as simply people going back to work??

has declared for the NBA.

He will maintain his college eligibility giving him the option to return.

Do you all think that Huff is giving a look to Transfer WR Khamran Laborn from Buffalo? We offered him out of HS and is obviously Khalan's brother. At a position of immediate need also

You said you paid 36k for a sculpture. Check out the one I got for free. Found it in the woods, dug a two foot deep hole, and planted it

Not stone native to my area so might be something discarded from a construction project. Not only was it free, but birds perch on top of it and crap, making this work ever changing.

I’ll be glad to send you one if I ever find another. My signature on the base should make it worth at least the cost of the shipping.

You're 40. You can't boast about your GPA. You can't boast about having a full-time job. You can't boast about having a busy schedule as an adult. These things are better left for attention-deprived single mothers who like and comment on similar posts from other single mothers that they went to high school with 20+ years ago.

I just saw where Collegefootballnews has picked us to go 6-6 this season. Do you guys think that is too low of a win total or just about right? If I were to fathom a guess at this juncture I would say 8-4 regular season - best case and 7-5 worst case. With all of the portal shuffling of the roster so much I really have no clue what to think anymore. Just curious

I was getting ready to clean and restain one of my decks when I actually fell through a section that had rotted out over the years. Tore out all the rotted section and took the wood to the landfill, and I plan to rebuild and refurbish once the weather improves. Should take me a couple days.

If I last a few more years, I plan to tear out the entire deck and replace with a new one. Have any of you used the newer composite decking and what are your impressions?

He is back in the portal…

I heard a speech the other day that said it might be time to rething the all volunteer force. No, this doesn't necessarily mean a wide draft, but let's look at it.

Counting current servicce members and veterans, that makes up about 1.5 percent of the current US population. People who have served in some capacity. Not just wars, but have served in the armed services in some capacity. Throw in their immediate family members(mom, dad, spouse, kids, etc.) and that is another 3 to 3.5 percent. So total between current service members, veterans, and close family members about 5% of the US population.

This has been the case since 1973. That is 50 years of an all volunteer force. Meaning, you signed up for it for whatever reason.

5% of our population being connected to military service is some way. What does this mean? That roughly 95% of our population has no connection to war, miitary service, military life, training, sacrifces, or veteran's causes and situations.

In other words, most of that 95% has no damn clue what is going on or has not sacrficed in some way or had the risk, worry, or even rewards or situations involved in military service. For rougly half that time, give or take, we have been at war or conflict. 95% of the American people get tunnel vision and not blaming them, but they don't know what is going on. They are consumed in daily life of paying the bills, goingto school, raising a family with no real clue what those other 5% have gone through.

Now, what has this lead to? Leaders in government with no clue about what is going on. Taxpaers with no clue and citizens with no clue. No skin in that particular game. Throw in the vast majority of youth with no direction to serve or no motivation to serve are we neglecting the military service and veterans causes? Are we relying on that 1% too much? WOuld it change the way we conduct or go to wars? Would it help get rid of some of the blotation and polticial Generals and politicans who seem to serve the military industrial complex more than the good of the nation?

Is it time to revise this? Throwing that burden on 1 percent to 5% of the American population for 50 years? Half of which was at war? Does it make us lose part of our national identity?

If Trump refuses to debate, it’s not only a mistake but he’s a giant puss if he doesn’t.

Story on and reaction from former four-star recruit Darryle Simmons (Philadelphia, Pa.) by yours truly, below!

A black guy in the office referred to Biden as a retard twice. I was witness to it as he said it yo a white millennial. He then repeated it when the millennial asked him what he said. Retard for the third time.

I am the witness. But he used retard in a legitimate manner. It went likr this if we didn't have a retard in charge of the country and thar retard president keeps doing this and that.

What kind of HR violation are we dealing with here? I usually am not the witness in these situations. Retard was a legitimate description.
