Well duh. Cadets are in training for a career as an officer. I think the opportunity and career that comes with being an officer is one hell of a lot better than the flirtation of what could be very short term that is the enticement of quick cash called NIL.
NIL + 0.04 % of a career in the NFL
vs officers career and retirement. NIL seems way the lesser of those two choices to me.
I agree. The receivers were open. He had time of just had to move around a bit. The throws just were not there and he had laser lock too often. Herby even commented.
I think 5-9 is fantastic. It’s a huge accomplishment and fine with a limited budget. To get any higher requires spending 20 mil on a roster and giving out lambos. Let them do that and get a bunch of “me” kids. As we have seen this year when it becomes about the individual the team is not as good. I am a Yankees fan but use them as the analogy.
Much in the manner of the most famous modern crash-and-burn campaigns – George McGovern in 1972 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 – the signs are there that voters are starting to ask about Kamala Harris the political “toast” or “doom” question from which no presidential campaign can recover: “If she can’t even run a campaign, how can she run the country?”
The steady pattern since early September of questionable decisions, sudden turnabouts and self-induced controversies that have plagued the Harris campaign reached last week exactly the sort of crescendo seen at a similar point in the McGovern and Dukakis efforts: A stream of negative headlines from continuing revelations about the past record of the candidate and her running mate, attempts at clever tactical moves that become strategic debacles, the release of TV ads or videos that anyone outside the campaign finds incomprehensible or even mildly ridiculous, public appearances by the candidate and the campaign’s most prominent surrogates that draw backlash and worsen the problem they are supposed to fix, growing complaints by party professionals and operatives about campaign oversight or ineptitude, down-ballot candidates out abandoning the national ticket, and a campaign structure struggling to process disturbing developments or disappointing news but even when it does coming up with solutions that seem more improvised exercises in self-therapy than effective political fixes.
This sort of thing has been seen before and with serious consequences. Here is the history:
On an Oct. 13 MSNBC broadcast with anchor Jen Psaki, Democratic strategist – and former political advisor to President Bill Clinton – James Carville denounced Donald Trump for putting “the entire Constitution in jeopardy.” Carville offered a concrete example of the right’s subversion of American freedom and democracy: “The Supreme Court and Clarence Thomas have totally greenlighted the idea that you could round up, use the military to round up your political enemies.” A former political advisor to Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Psaki replied with a smile, “We love the truth telling.”
Carville and Psaki are typical. The left often portrays itself as the rigorous defender of truth against relentless right-wing disinformation while resolutely promoting progressive disinformation, including the falsehood that disinformation is a distinctively right-wing phenomenon.
Small wonder that Carville did not elaborate on his extraordinary accusation, and that Psaki did not ask why he singled out Justice Thomas or how the Supreme Court authorized the rounding up of political enemies. Perhaps Carville had in mind the court’s holding last July in Trump v. United States “that the President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority.” But the Constitution does not give the president authority to round up political enemies.
Did Carville glibly attack Trump and did Psaki politely play along? Did partisan rage distort Carville’s judgment as well as Psaki’s? Did Carville resolve to assert – and Psaki to endorse – whatever it takes, including nightmare scenarios, to protect democracy from Trump?
1 Oregon
2 Georgia
3 Penn State
4 Ohio State
5 Texas
HUGE GAP
6 Miami
Then it's just which decent team you think is better than the next. I'd have it
7 Clemson
8 LSU
9 Iowa State
10 Tennessee
11 Indiana
12 Kansas State
13 Notre Dame
14 Illinois
15 Alabama
But that's all interchangeable along with schools like Boise State and A&M
The top 5 is pretty clear cut IMO
"There's tribalism, and the orthodoxies are much more insidious in the Democratic Party," Kennedy said. "And it's disturbing to me, because I think the polarization is the worst thing for our country, and that, you know, we have huge problems in this country, but we also are very resilient, but we're never going to solve them if we don't -- if we're not able to come together. And I think that the Democrats are much more tend to be much more intolerant than Republicans on these issues. That's my personal observation, and it's interesting to see that validated by that poll."
Georgia manhandled Texas last night. Georgia and Texas would easily beat PSU ... OSU and Oregon would beat PSU... I said 5-9 is where PSU would land. I will stand by that. Miami, Clemson, Tenn LSU.. There are a handful of teams right there and you can make arguments for all of them. PSU is in that bunch.
Well, you just saved us all a bunch of time and money. End the season now with the Wesauking Lion rankings to determine placement as he knows who will beat who.
Do you really think Georgia has looked great this year? I guarantee Kirby had this one circled all year. No way he was losing to Texas their first year in the league. I called this one for Georgia when everyone was anointing the Longhorns. I still think this Georgia team has weaknesses compared to 2021-2022. I'm convinced the SEC has been down last year and again this year. We'll find out about Ohio State in a couple of weeks. Right now I like our chances in that one.
PSU is far superior to Kent State. I confident that we have better talent than Wisconsin but saying we're "FAR SUPERIOR" is a stretch. We only beat BGSU by 7 pts and USC by 3 in OT.
Yes--far superior. You all overreact to close game for absolutely no reason. Does Georgia have far more talent than Kentucky? Of course they do. Just like Bama has far more talent than Vandy. Crazy things happen--worrying about Wisconsin is absurd. We should beat them easily. If we don't that's on Franklin. Just like DeBoer's getting heat right now.
Last year against U of M when they ran the whole second half on us....it was a combination of 1) an ability to run well enough 2) a desire to not allow the PSU Defense to get sacks, interceptions, holding calls etc........ that would put them behind the sticks.
