Wow! Michigan State beat Nebraska. The way this season is going with the HC fired and kids leaving the program, glad they had the pieces. Hopefully they find a coach who can right the ship before they go the way of Illinois or Indiana into also-ran status.

That's got to be amazing. I hope you two get along well in each other's company.

My one college football team got to 8-0 with the toughest opponent on their schedule being Rutgers, it's games are uncompetitive and not interesting, and despite only scheduling nobodies all year, the team still cheats to win those games anyways. In related news, the team is also caught up in another stupid scandal that revolves around buying a kid a hamburger, but I'm not holding that one against them like the NCAA does. My other college team has been in freefall, leaderless, and hasn't won a game since the head coach got suspended/fired for having phone sex with a rape survivor advocate. Meanwhile, the entirety of college football is on its ear. The NCAA has embraced the bullsh*t that is the transfer portal, and one of the premier conferences will fold in a couple of months. So it's not exactly a great time to be a college football fan, especially for me.

I don't know how many people here are black because it seldom comes up. I only know of two: Peenie and League Champion. There are surely more but behind the keyboard, who can tell, we're all the same color. Most people just type and don't talk about their race. I like peenie, am glad she's here and have always gotten along with her. I admire her willingness to come back despite the abuse she gets, plenty of which is race related and out of line. League Champion doesn't lead with being mulatto, and you wouldn't guess it, but he's open about it when its relevant to the topic at hand. I don't know that he's ever gotten any grief over it. ---- More generally, we have racists here and when I see threads that look geared towards that, I don't open them, let alone participate. It leaks out into other threads. Personally, I'm far more interested in conservatives making inroads within the black and hispanic communities than placating race deadenders. LC is further right than I am. As for peenie, ah, peenie's daughter and uncle see through the left's BS, as for peenie herself, I've seen twenty years of her taking two steps forward and two steps back.

First, note how Russia didn't attack anyone during Trump's presidency as it did under Bush the Dumber (Georgia), Obama (Crimea), and Biden (Ukraine). Also Trump kept the Obama-era sanctions from the Crimea invasion on place. Second... here's President Trump warning both the Germans they are too reliant on Russian oil and urging NATO members to up their share of military budgets. Third, here's President Trump blocking the oil pipeline from Russia to Germany with sanctions https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/us-sanctions-block-putins-pipeline/ and here's Biden lifting those sanctions. https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114185/documents/HHRG-117-GO00-20211028-SD006.pdf Fourth, Trump sold weapons to Ukraine that Obama had blocked. These are four cases of Trump taking a harder line against Russia than either Biden or his boss took. He also expelled dozens of Russian officials after the Kremlin poisoned that guy in Britain, and he blew up Syrian bungholes despite Russian protests. Some of us have a memory that goes back before the "we have always been at war with Eastasia"-esque propaganda of the MSM.

Wordle 868 4/6 🟨🟨 🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LOL turned lemons into lemonade. Only had three letters but since they didn't go in the most convenient places, most words I could come up with didn't fit.

This is exactly right. When conservatives address black audiences, they see them and treat them like adults and equals with respect, unlike liberals who dumb down their talk and treat black people like retards. White liberals dumb themselves down when they speak to black people, a new study contends - The Washington Post

False. Race is 100% your obsession. Race is front and center on your minds not ours. Conservatives take the high ground of treating all people equally based on the content of their character, can see reality. Wheras liberals make it a point to notice and adjust their parochial approach and treat some people more equal than others.

This. Leftoids see rampaging lunatics of darker pigmentation tearing apart cities in the US or committing atrocities in Israel and immediately wring their hands and feel shame how they let these poor cutsie wootsie innocents down and blame themselves. At least the leftoids can take comfort knowing they're better than us who have no sympathy/tolerance for the bullsh*t and identify the savages at the gates for what they are.

No jokes here. My condolences, Ed. RIP edsr.

What exactly are you arguing here? That the Afghanistan withdrawal wasn't a fiasco?

I remember seeing "Lemonade Stand" at the state fair and thinking how cool it was. It was a 2D poorly animated lemonade stand and the entire game was they tell you the temperature and you figure out what the optimal price to sell lemonade at. It was super cool; I could control/interact with something on a tv screen and earn fake money.

Michael Landon, John Ritter, Coach from Cheers, both of the two old lady baliffs on Night Court before Roz.

This is all so focking pathetic.

I thought we did that already. Maybe we only gave them NYC. There's so much overlap, its hard to differentiate.

The US withdrew from Afghanistan on August 30, 2021. With that in mind, check out this timeline of Biden's approval rating. Biden approval polling tracker (reuters.com)

He's off to a really bad start. I'll give him a few more threads to see if he is capable of rational discussion elsewhere.

Wordle 867 3/6 🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I had a deuce. Would have been the first in a long time, but no. Getting a 4th letter and all those yellows blocking two spaces led me right to it.

The Germans sure wound up with two top shelf teams and a huge game for AFC playoff positioning. I'm not planning on changing my Sunday morning schedule as there are things that need doing and I already get enough grief for watching too much football on Sundays.

It's not just suicide bombers, Palestine also has some of the world's finest dentists.

Posting pictures of a group of women and ranking them by appearance 5-2-3-4-1 It's fun and harmless, we all have different preferences and it leads to interesting discussions, but for some reason, Mike gets pissed off about this to the extend that shotsup got banned for doing so.

Wordle 866 4/6 🟩🟨 🟨 🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Should have done better than 4 with this word.

Agreed. He's good at Xs and Os but I think he's maxed out career-wise as an OC The finer details of HC and GM escape him. Questionable decision making together with losing snowballs into locker room discontent.

This is just my opinion. Feel free to post your own or tell me how stupid my choices are. -------- 32) Green Bay Packers you have to see it to believe it. Every time I tune in, this team's first half is a toxic dumpster fire disaster beyond comprehension 31) Carolina Panthers 30) Chicago Bears 29) New England Patriots 28) Arizona Cardinals Only one win but it was a solid one and I respect how they hang tough with good teams 27) New York Giants Their record sucks and they've had some awful losses but their schedule has been brutal 26) Indianapolis Colts 25) Tennessee Titans 24) Las Vegas Raiders 23) Houston Texans 22) Denver Broncos (probably too high but not after what I just saw) 21) Minnesota Vikings (having lost Cousins, I don't know what to do with them. This looks good for now.) (these three NFC South teams make a big 18-20 clusterfock) 20) Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19) Atlanta Falcons 18) New Orleans Saints ----12-17 are fully capable of biting anybody in the ass at any time 17) Los Angeles Rams 16) Washington REDSKINS 15) Los Angeles Chargers *(Minnesota + Kirk Cousins would have gone here) 14) Pittsburgh Steelers 13) New York Jets 12) Cleveland Browns ----top eleven are the contenders--- 11) Buffalo Bills 10) Dallas Cowboys 9) San Francisco 49ers (I want to keep them top 5, but Cincinatti is clearly better than they are and after three losses, what can I do with them?) 8 ) Cincinatti Bengals 7) Detroit Lions 6) Miami Dolphins 5) Seattle Seahawks 4) Kansas City Chiefs 3) Jacksonville Jaguars 2) Philadelphia Eagles 1) Baltimore Ravens
