re: Miami is the school that has reportedly offered Ty Simpson $6.5 million

It's not that hard to believe. Have you been keeping up with just how stupid cfb has gotten with this shite? This is easily believable in the current cfb landscape. "Salaries" are going to keep going up and up.

Miami is the school that has reportedly offered Ty Simpson $6.5 million

According to a source close to Simpson, Miami sent the Alabama quarterback an offer to be the highest-paid player in college football at $6.5 million. The Hurricanes' official offer started at $4 million and quickly ballooned to $5 million within minutes before reaching the current offer.

In 2025, Simpson's base salary at Alabama was $400,000, according to a source close to Simpson. It doubled to $800,000 with incentives.
This is insane :lol:.

1-2 start in the SEC. Punked in their own gym tonight. Flat out awful loss at home.

But his political beliefs suck like most celebs. He lives in Seattle so that should tell you something. Pretty sure he supported CHOP/CHAZ.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It exposes just how full of shite these politicians/people are.
She's not wrong in saying Trump needs to focus more on domestic policy. That's what the whole MAGA movement was originally about. He's failed to do so.
US' capture of Maduro likely broke international law according to experts

The Venezuelan people probably don't mind it tho:

quote:
The Trump administration’s unilateral action to extract Maduro from his country — an operation dubbed "Operation Absolute Resolve" — reportedly involved the use of 150 aircraft to strike locations in northern Venezuela, including the capital Caracas. Some reports suggest 40 people have died as a result of the US strikes.
The operation has been both welcomed and condemned by observers.
While many foreign policy and international law experts have said the removal of Maduro — widely seen as an illegitimate leader following a 2024 election that independent observers said he lost, and a record of persecuting his opponents — is good, there remain doubts over the legality of the US' actions.
quote:
The US led the establishment of the United Nations and, in 1945, signed its foundational document, the UN Charter, which underpins many principles of international law, including territorial integrity.
Scholars have pointed to Article 2(4) of that charter to suggest the US’ actions violated international law. That article forbids the "threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence" of another country.
"This was a use of force," said Marko Milanovic, Director of Global Law at the University of Reading in the UK.
"If you send 150 airplanes into another state, if you start bombing its air defenses, if you kidnap its president, if you kill dozens of people, that is a use of force in the sense of Article 2, paragraph 4."
There are exceptions, the most notable being authorization by the UN Security Council can to proceed with military action against another country. However, this approval wasn’t sought prior to Maduro’s seizure.
Another is self-defence, though given the US' outsized military strength relative to Venezuela, it is again unclear how this argument would hold up.
quote:
Even labelling fentanyl as a WMD, branding Maduro a narco-terrorist and charging him with conspiracy against the US is unlikely to be accepted by any international standard as a rationale for self-defence.
“Self-defense requires the existence of an armed attack," Milanovic told DW. "Simply allowing the exports of drugs from one country to another is not an armed attack and has never been treated as an armed attack."

Nope. I voted for Trump 3x. He's not doing enough domestically. I just don't suck his thing at everything he does. It's always about the economy and he/republicans are not focused enough on improving it. They're going to lose when elections come around and they will have nobody to blame but themselves.
Trump has lost the plot
Posted by Contra on 1/3/26 at 7:05 pm
When's he going to try and get prices down that will help the average American? Maduro is a scumbag, but invading Venezuela does nothing for the average American. Seems he's more focused with what's happening in other countries than his own. I'm sure he'll tell us grocery prices are way down, but the receipts say he is lying.

Problem is, DeBoer isn't early in his career.
He is. I mean he's only been a D1 head coach for 6 years. He's only 51. He's definitely still early in his career. Lot's of time for him to get better and adapt/adjust. Will he? I don't know. His record is pretty good after 6 seasons. His turn around at Washington was massive, which tells me he's not a bad coach. He's a good coach who has some deficiencies right now. He will need to get better. I'm willing to give him some time to get his own players in there. If it's still like this with his guys...... then yeah, you will have no choice but to pull the plug.
One thing I do not want to do is blow through coaches like Florida, Auburn, LSU, etc. Those guys are changing coaches every 3-4 seasons. It's laughable.
DeBoer is gonna have to grow as head coach
Posted by Contra on 1/2/26 at 10:02 am
That first step should be making some staff changes for the OL, strength and conditioning and rb's coach. He's had some absolute stinkers his first two years here so obviously he should know something isn't working. It's up to him to figure it out. Saban, early in his career, had some absolute beatdowns at MSU and LSU, but he eventually got it figured out and became the goat because of it.
I'm not gonna give up on him yet, but last night was completely unacceptable (along with the uga game). I still think you have to give him time to get his own recruited qb and ol in there for the season before pulling the trigger and firing him.
The guy right now is flawed as shite as head coach, but his record as a head coach is still better than probably 95% of other coaches out there right now. And he's only been doing it for 6 seasons. It tells me the potential is there, but it's up to him to get his current issues fixed and turn that potential into greatness.

People still gonna make injury excuses for why Ty Simpson is complete garbage? Defense always being put in a bad spot because the offense continuously shits the bed.
Ty just isn't it. Will be glad when he is gone.
