Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.
If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.
Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.
The revolution will be supervised.
The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.
You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
Books are my comfort food!
A fool as well as an oath-breaker.
They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.
Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop
So very ready.
Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.
Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.
75% of people clapping liked the show!
Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.
Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.
A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.
Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Does it make me less of a fan that I am worried about my Canes’ ability to beat UVA?
BRING THE PAIN!

Must get off of Youtube! Anyway, here is the Tiger Band coming down Victory Hill to go into the stadium. They do it before every game and it is a really cool thing to go see. Everyone goes nuts.

Yeah sports fans!

Ok, those aren’t sports fans. Those are yankees hangers on.

@South of I-10: Thats a hell of a turn-out, but for pure performance, give me a good drum-line any day of the week
smiley
@South of I-10: Ditto
Punchy
@ajr22: A worse half could not be played. I’ve never seen so many turnovers in a 2-game span. Unpossible.
Common Sense
@Third Eye Open:
Jesus man you want drumlines you don’t go to Clemson. You look for The Ocean of Soul at TSU or Prarie View A&M. Look up Grambling, Southern University or the Funk Train at Jackson State.
I hate link moderation, so I can’t grace you with enough of the clips. Just youtube any of them.
Common Sense
My Bad TSU’s drum line is known as the Funk Train, within their band known as the Ocean of Soul. Jackson State has the Sonic Boom.
South of I-10
@Third Eye Open: That is really cool. I posted this on here before, but in case you missed it, here is Southern’s band at the Southern/ULL game – amazing!!
@smiley: My LSU superfan brother is feeling poetic this morning. He just posted on my Facebook wall “Roses are red, and don’t grow in ditches. Wake the hell up, it’s game day bitches”!
I’m off to store for stuff to BBQ. Gotta give Mr. South something to do.
Third Eye Open
@Common Sense: I was talking about FSU’s Big-8, Clemson is a bunch of pikers, in my opinion.
But I will check out your links and report back.

Ya punchy, but we are like the 2001 bears. We find a way.

As a Texas fan who wants no part of the snoozefest that is Alabama, I am pulling for you guys tonight.

@Third Eye Open:
If Florida A&M were in the SWAC, there would be no need to see any other drumline perform. You can go to those games just for halftime. Even their practices are an absolute blast

The Gophers suck. Thank god it’s hockey season, except that they just can’t put the puck in the net. Other than a sweep of overmatched Alaska-Anchorage, we’red 0-4-1. We opened the season with a brutal loss to North Dakota, in which the Gophs just stood around and put in no effort. Since then, it’s been a different story. The second night in Grand Forks, both games against Denver, and last night against the Badgers, we’ve played hard, and the flow of the game has been about even every time, but we just can’t put the puck in the net. It’s tempting to say that we just aren’t catching any breaks, but, while that’s true, it’s in the category of good teams get the breaks. The Gophers can’t score, so the puck always seems to find the post.
Oh, and fuck North Dakota.

Have there seriously been no comments on this thread for 40 minutes? Or does my browser have brain lock?

Ah, the special pain of following a niche sport (horse racing)- getting bumped at 3:30 so ABC can broadcast college football.

That was worth turning the computer on. My grandmother is sitting up cheering you, and she passed away thirty years ago.
Third Eye Open
@Common Sense: You know, IMHO, all the stuff floating around by A&M for the past few years has been lackluster. I think it has something to do with the financial troubles the school has been in. With that said, there is nothing quite like an A&M half-time show.
…strike, strike, and strike again!

Wow. Northwestern beat Iowa (and Iowa lost their starting QB). I hope Florida is aware of that upset when they face Vandy tonight.
Doonhamer
Currently watching the closing minutes of Texas swatting aside my alma mater UCF (Actually, UCF is just one of my alma maters). Glad I’m really a ‘Canes fan.

@Third Eye Open: Ok, I must admit, this might be some of the funkiest drum-core cadences I have heard. Bravo!

Yay, the Illini beat Minnesota! Now they’re 3-6 overall! Gawd, what a disappointing season…
South of I-10
@Bill H: Thanks! That made me smile.
Game time! Here we go!

@geg6:
Had to come back to this thread to drop another comment. This game is now officially huge with the Iowa loss.
Michigan losing made me smile too. We are…

If Navy can really beat down Notre Dame like this, it’ll be the feel-good story of the college season.
I say this as a South Bend-ish local and a lifetime ND fan – while I can appreciate some of the raw offensive talent on the team, the sooner we can boot Charlie’s ass out the door the better.

My Yellow Jackets looking to go 9-1. Up on Wake 10-0 in the first.

Stanford has an early 10-point lead on Oregon. Liking it.
J. Michael Neal
Yeah, and how about the team that lost to the Illini in the middle of such a disappointing season . . .
Minnesota, pants off to thee!
erlking
@Ked: I went to grad school at Notre Dame and the smug superiority towards the service academies makes this ass-whooping particularly tasty. Go Navy.

@burnspbesq:
Yeah, a little hangover for the Ducks.
The Iowa loss shows why computer rankings should be taken with a grain of salt. The computers had Iowa at 1 or 2, but anyone who watched them play knew they weren’t nearly that good.

@South of I-10: Man the memories of my band geek days. We did stuff like that at Wazzu too, regardless of the outcome of the game we always had fun.
Hookers and Cocaine
Psst, SEC groupies… The Pac-10 is the best conference in the country.
Yutsano
@Hookers and Cocaine: Yeah, but we don’t brag about that. We just perform.
JoePo
I especially like how the refs have just ignored Navy’s CBs groping Michael Floyd and Golden Tate every time the ball is thrown to them. Very patriotic of them.
J. Michael Neal
Watching Nick Saban is pissing me off, though he probably isn’t any worse about this than any other college football coach. A kid makes a mistake, and he starts ripping them on the sideline. Hey, coach, this isn’t about you. You want it to be about you, go to the NFL. Oh, that’s right. You tried that, and you sucked at it.
These are kids. They’re going to fuck up on a regular basis. We all did when we were twenty. (Ignore, for the moment, that most of us continue to fuck up on a regular basis when we’re forty, too.) Deal with it. Deal with it without getting angry. It happens.
Yutsano
@J. Michael Neal: There seems to be an inordinate amount of injuries in this game as well. I get the whole playing cause you love it thing (the Dawg played football in college) but these kids are giving their heart and soul and their bodies for their coaches.
Hookers and Cocaine
@Yutsano: Stanford impressed. I need to bet on that team more, especially when they’re big dogs.
Yutsano
@Hookers and Cocaine: Getting undefeated out of the Pac-10 is almost an impossibility. Hell I don’t think the Trojans have managed to accomplish that.
Yutsano
Jahvid Best, player for the Cal Golden Bears, landed flat on his back and was motionless. He was carted off to the hospital and I haven’t heard any news. Hopefully all will end well here.
Kayla Rudbek
@Ked: Hopefully the Board of Trustees and Swarbrick will finally wake up and smell the coffee. However, I’ve learned that the ND administration will always find ways to make your life as difficult as possible.

Psst “what’s defense?” fans. The National Champion is coming from the great state of Texas. I just wish we could humiliate USC in the Rose Bowl again.

There is no fairness. Pitt will play Notre Dame in prime time, but that is the same time as “The Lonely Man of Faith” at Wash.U.
