NATO first. UN second. Let’s do this!

Until something is done about the unlimited transfer portal, being a developmental program (in the sense that you take HS players, coach them for a couple years, and plug them in as starters) is a totally unrealistic way to operate.


Not entirely true and we’ll see if success allows them to continue this process. We’ll also see if it’s a sustainable model for yearly success or if it’s just a once every few years cycle. From the rant (I know):

Think people are missing the boat on the Indiana roster. Nine of their defensive starters were recruited out of high school at IU or by Cig at JMU. Five offensive starters too.

They’ve stayed, gotten better, and been augmented with transfers. But they’ve hit *big* on HS.
Utterly ridiculous that I need to contact an elected official, who is supposed to put his constituents first, and tell him to not send my tax dollars to terrorists.

We need a hard reset on every single one of our reps.

Sounds like he read the situation perfectly, if true.

She forgot how to open the dialogue. She’s supposed to walk up to him and push him. Not try to run him over with her car.

I'm still not sure the "get out of the fricking car" was a legal order to an American citizen made by an ICE agent.


In your opinion, based on what you’ve seen, were these ladies interfering with or attempting to interfere with these agents doing their job?
He also described what education would look like without meritocracy. From the Screwtape Letters:

quote:

The basic principle of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be ‘undemocratic’. These differences between the pupils—for they are obviously and nakedly individual differences—must be disguised. This can be done on various levels. At universities, examinations must be framed so that nearly all the students get good marks. Entrance examinations must be framed so that all, or nearly all, citizens can go to universities, whether they have any power (or wish) to profit by higher education or not.

At schools, the children who are too stupid or lazy to learn languages, mathematics and elementary science can be set to doing the things that children used to do in their spare time. Let them, for example, make mud pies and call it modelling. But all the time there must be no faintest hint that they are inferior to the children who are at work. Whatever nonsense they are engaged in must have—I believe the English already use the phrase—"parity of esteem." An even more drastic scheme is not impossible. Children who are fit to proceed to a higher class may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma—Beelzebub, what a useful word!—by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out 'A Cat Sat On A Mat'.

Quite the cliffhanger…
I’m not middle aged, but for me the answer is yes. 2018 killed my passion for the nfl. Then 2020 happened. Sports were taken away abruptly and I realized just how much time and money I was wasting consuming sports. Now cfb is barely recognizable and it takes actual effort to get worked up over a game.

I also admit that getting older and having a family and other interests have probably played a part but all of the above definitely accelerated my growing disinterest.
