literally anyone under the age of 40 saw cord-cutting coming.  Hell it was already happening when we let Rutgers in.

 

I'm tired of pretending these men in power are competent.  They're simply not.

Pontiac 6000, 1986.  was inoperable more days than it was operable.

Frank Clark is an abusive…

Frank Clark is an abusive piece of shit.  Bo was a sexual predator enabler and horrible person.

 

How many more examples should I provide?  It's not about a rivalry you idiot.

dude was a rapist, not gonna endorse him as a "model citizen".

I feel like I'm being punked.  Why would you use two-letter abbreviations for names, coaching positions, AND US states?  This is actually comical.

how can you fix your lips to…

how can you fix your lips to say that bullshit after seeing the OPI on Higgins with the facemask?  Literally a touchdown given to the Bengals.

Nothing else comes close to that bullshit call.

Better team won (and I don't care about either of them).

I've been impressed in his…

I've been impressed in his shooting and ability to create his own shot off the dribble.  He's really using his length and balance to do some awesome things on offense.  Combine that with All-NBA potential on defense...

He might be the second best rookie behind Evan Mobley.

There are so many low-effort…

There are so many low-effort posts on this board all the time and you are criticizing this one?  Come on.

 

OP did fine and this was worthwhile to post.

Are they seeing something…

Are they seeing something different in practice?

- Undoubtedly yes.

I'd prefer a change at PG but gotta think the coaching staff knows better. 

- They do.  That's why this post sucks.

Ah, that's where you got it…

Ah, that's where you got it wrong: OSU fans are not capable of feeling shame or embarrassment.

 

If they were, they wouldn't poop in coolers.

ibow seems like the type of turd to consider the NYT to be "fake news" so not sure that will do much.

don't feel bad.  this is lowkey a great post.  short, relevant, good title.  lots of supplemental info that is interesting.

How many more examples do…

How many more examples do you need of men in power not caring about the human beings under them?

 

Bo. did. not. care.  At all.  he would have traded anal rape of his entire team and all his children if it meant more accolades and less headaches for him.

 

This is really simple.  This is entire generations being taught that sexual assault and rape is not a big deal at all.

That was literally brought…

That was literally brought up by several of the witnesses today.  I think that's exactly what this was.

 

Bo was a monster.

this post is gross.  if you…

this post is gross.  if you can watch that entire press conference and come away with this take...you're part of the societal problem.

 

so many accounts of how Bo knew and you still post these "well idk, sad on both sides" bullshit.  just classic Boomer rug sweeping.  literally a less-obvious version of the attitudes that allowed Anderson to abuse for so long.

Good points, but I think…

Good points, but I think they're more different than you think.

Garza is a complete turnstile on defense.  I don't see a single position he can defend in the NBA.  He'll be the worst defender on the floor in every NBA game he plays.  Hunter consistently shut down opposition (including Garza himself) and would be a valuable post defender/rim protector in the NBA right now.

Hunter is 2-3 inches taller than Garza and "plays" taller than him.  Garza demolished college defenders with strength and leverage.  He won't be able to do that in the NBA.  

I'm not saying Hunter will be 7-foot Steph Curry, but he has the building blocks to have more of an NBA career than Garza

not 8 specifically.  just all Final Fantasy games.  yes, that's the reference.

I bet dollars to donuts you were in all the previous COVID Sweden threads from months ago foaming about how the world was overreacting and Sweden was fine.  Fuck outta here.

Elections have consequences.  We're pretty much alone in the world when it comes to how poorly we've responded to this virus.  Sports are a reward for countries who take it seriously.

 

Hope we can watch football next year.

"wHaT aBoUt ThE lEfT??" while showing some random citizens or protesters doing something aggressive or odd (but rarely violent, strangely enough)

Meanwhile the literal president is inciting violence and yelling/tweeting WILD shit every single day.

Wake me up when Biden is out there with a mob of mouthbreathing idiots inciting violence and excusing white supremacy.

Trump says a lot of things that aren't true.  Throw it on the pile.

It also depends on where you…

It also depends on where you live, which I don't think this bill addresses.  $200k in rural Mississippi goes a lot further than $200k in NYC.

 

But on the whole, I agree with you that folks making $200k shouldn't be getting as much as someone who is in literal poverty.

 

I'm above the 200k threshold AND my job is secure.  Poor people not only have less overall money, but they are more likely to lose their jobs because of the industries they work in and the positions they hold.

Obviously, none of this occurs to the shitstain OP who believes in Cadillac-driving welfare queens mooching off his tax dollars.

$1200 a month ain't…

$1200 a month ain't communism, you dumbass.  unless that is your concept of wealth and you're in middle school.

" Whereas, every person I…

" Whereas, every person I see begging for money pulls out their brand new iPhone or goes home to their large flat screen TV."

 

Such a classic privileged thing to say.  You know absolutely jack shit about what poor people in this country go through today and you clearly are uninterested in listening to the advocacy groups that speak for them.

They're not wasting money, they really aren't.  There are dozens of studies which show the vast majority of money given to the poor is spent on necessities.  It's quite literally one of the most efficient uses of money that the government has.

I know that you'd rather all poor people wear barrels and eat out of a dumpster for every meal.  I know that gets you hard.  But the fact is they need more money than your privileged ass (or mine!) and your inability to understand that is downright disgusting...and exhausting. 

Not sure why I'm writing this all out.  You lived your life shitting on poor people and you'll die that way.  Oh well.

"I don't get your logic on…

"I don't get your logic on people that make less should receive more"

 

Found the conservative.

 

It's not "logic", it's simply empathy.  Yeah it's not enough for poor folks, but it's better than nothing.

whatever the points needed…

whatever the points needed to make posts is...not high enough.

Ding ding ding.  Exactly.

Ding ding ding.  Exactly.

Mark Schlissel is a different breed from the Drakes and Lou Anna Simons of the world.  He cares about the entire University of Michigan and our considerable reputation in the world.  We have a lot more to lose than an OSU/MSU and he knows it.

Harbaugh would be fired for cause.

Yeah, I'm probably being a

Yeah, I'm probably being a bit hyperbolic.  However, he's not paying them out of the goodness of his heart.  If Freeze was suddenly an NFL coach, do you think he'd pay any poor kids any money?  Hell no.

 

It's the flaunting of the rules and hypocrisy that makes me loathe him so much.  Guys like Freeze are some of the real enemies of the sanctity of the game and thus so repulsive to guys like Harbaugh.  Always looking for a shortcut instead of trying harder or getting better.

 

I agree with everything Brian wrote about paying players, btw.  I wish they got paid their worth and think amateurism is a sham.  However, I still think Freeze is a jerkface for all of the above.

Freeze is trash

"If you're Harbaugh how do you not fire back?"

Harbaugh probably drove to Meijer, purchased all of their headsets and destroyed all of them in the parking lot out of anger.  I wouldn't blame him.

Looking back, Jim showed remarkable restraint with this piece of trash human being.

 

 

That is excellent news.  Glad

That is excellent news.  Glad to hear it!

will this fix the server issues?

While I wouldn't mind a snazzy new site, I'm more impacted by having no site for large chunks of crucial time (NSD, for example).

Infrastructure and Culture

Go post this thread on a Korean soccer board.  You won't have any comments about e-sports not being sports or "Heh, videogames are for kids!".  People there understand the skill and dedication involved in being a top LoL/DOTA player and respect it like we respect most professional athletes.  Until we're near that respect, we'll probably struggle.

 

But more importantly, it's infrastructure.  Our players don't get the same level of support and sponsorship and thus they don't develop the right habits and dedication.  If Koreans are Michael-Jordan-in-the-NBA, then US players are Michael-Jordan-in-the-MLB.  We're simply dabbling while they're commiting their lives.

Is Michigan any good? Is OSU?

I used to be low-Diamond before I had kids (now I'm Gold and pretty terrible).  I remember the feeling of facing a Challenger/Masters player back then; a feeling of complete futility.

 

I hope those OSU players feel that in their bones.  Go Blue.

Why don't we use JUCOs?

I've known several people who have gone the WCC-for-2-years-transfer-to-UM thing (one went on to Yale law school!), so why isn't this possible for JUCOs?

Hope we get him

The "On the mic" video is awesome.  Really shows Pep to be a knowledgable and encouraging teacher.  Seems like an excellent coach.

Because she's really good at tennis and also a good brand ambassador?  Similar to the other woman on the list, Serena Williams?

The more important takeaway is that there are only 2 women on the list and both of them play the same sport.  Kind of depressing.

"Ignored rape culture" wasn't

"Ignored rape culture" wasn't correct, true.

However, your post is apropo of nothing.  No one is disputing that rape is terrible and one of the worst things a human can do to another human.  No one said that Hatter's dumb comment increases sexual assault.  There was only one idiot who said we shouldn't worry about comments like Hatter's because there are more pressing issues in the world like sexual assault.

It's frustrating that a simple "hey, that shit is sexist and dumb, cut it out" inspires such a MASSIVE reaction from people on this site, including you.  It was sexist and dumb.  It was less bad than rape.  Do I have to put a disclaimer on every comment "this was bad, but not as bad as rape"?

She played it dumb in the

She played it dumb in the press conference, but I'm glad the rules committee saw through it.  No one is believing her that she didn't "check her email".

I don't think I'll ever see a punishment for a cheater that is too harsh in professional sports.

Yeah, that was dumb of me. 

Yeah, that was dumb of me.  Kinda glad that one got deleted.

Now I'm just following this butthurt-lonely-old-dude rabbit hole to see where it goes.

And I'm still outnumbered/out-butthurted 100 to 1.

how did this escalate to rape? 

dude made a sexist and dumb comment.  A few people told him it was sexist and dumb.

and now we're condoning rape?

Ya'll need to take some basic argumentation/discourse lessons.

dude, there as like 3 people

dude, there was like 3 people who wrote a total of maybe 8 sentences saying that the comment was dumb and sexist.  No one was that upset; just pointing out that it's a dumb and sexist thing to say.

and now you've written an essay telling them that because they briefly and succinctly pointed out sexism in a throwaway comment by Hatter, they've ignored rape culture.

Come on, man.  I'm way more angry at rapists than I am at Hatter.  That should be obvious.

Agree.  I hate the whole scUM

Agree.  I hate the whole scUM and O$U thing, too.  I just thought it was funny for a day or two with my MSU colleagues.  I'll end up forgetting about it pretty soon.

For the record, it's way more clever and applicable than scUM or O$U.  If a Spartan somehow found a clever way to rib us for App State, I couldn't fault them.
