So Cam Coleman, Brown, Biles, and Smothers as headliners...
If they had an OL, they would be scary.

If Texas pulls Smothers as well, Bama may reconsider their vote to let them in the SEC after all...
re: Ole miss starting OL enters portal

I would be doubtful about the Michigan talk as they pulled two of their IOL back in from the portal. While it is possible, my guess is that he is more likely to start at say Texas (where the two Michigan OL were looking to go) than Michigan
Biles is probably the best LB I saw play in person last year. That kid will play on Sundays and is most likely going to end up in the conversation for All-SEC.
Not sure what Texas is doing at IOL and WR/RB still seems thin, but nothing happening here is egregious. It seems like a lot of teams that have had high ranking recruiting classes over the last 3 or so years are now seeing a ton of guys in the portal.

If you can't see that this is directly tied to the continued drop in deaths in the US due to illegal drug overdoses and a huge boost in the US GDP through American firms rebuilding the oil infrastructure of SA, I dont know what to tell you...
If this isnt America first, what is? America First isn't isolationism post WW1, it is making moves that benefit the US first and duck everybody else's view on it.

Lots of pending asylum cases approved by the Biden government will now be considered moot.
The next question is that with Venezuela and Argentina stable, what other SA countries will now stabilize?
What I am most interested is the impact this has on the Caribbean. Venezuela falls leads to Cuba.if Cuba falls, then there is all sorts of people that desperately want to go back home as well…

Venezuela falls, then so does Cuba. No free oil from Venezuela, no backdoor of production equipment, no vacation spot for the party elite.
Having Cuba fall would remove the last communist blot in North America. Removing Communist Cuba will revitalize the rest of the US interests in the Caribbean and lead to a secondary economic boom in the Gulf states.
Make no bones about it, you will start hearing about claims repatriating the property rights of the US companies lost to Castro.

Another big part on this, beyond driving down oil prices even more, eliminating Russian, Chinese, and Iranian access to SA, and stopping more drug shipments, is the Venezuela is what keeps Cuba afloat.
No free Venezuelan oil and the Cuban communist regime collapses.
Next expect to hear rumblings about repatriation of all of the property that was seized by the communists on Cuba.

He is a tall burner with excellent straight line speed but "OK" hands and agility. If you watched the Texas/Michigan game he had at least 2 drops including a deep bomb off his outstretched hands and another down the sideline.
He gets a lot of love for his touchdown totals early in the year, but he tailed off as the season went on. It became pretty obvious that when Mosely came back from injury midseason, Lingstone was only viewed as a deep guy.
He has 2 things you can't teach, speed and size, but if you want to use him for anything other than a guy to take the top off the D, you are doing a lot of projection on a redshirt FR.

Maybe Manning is going to be a problem next year... if he has some type of OL
If Texas has a real OL next year, Manning is going to put up numbers. I saw him do too much crazy stuff the last 1/3 of the season to not expect him to progress some as a 2nd year starter this offseason.
The question is going to be, does he have time, and does he have anyone that can consistently catch the ball...

Texas not having 2 starters in the back end, missing 2 starting LBs and one of their starting DE's is why Michigan is in this..
I didn't realize how bad it was until I actually looked it up. The flip side is that with how they recruit they should be able to rotate and replace guys, but I am somewhat surprised that Michigan isnt doing more.

Texas needs one real wide out and spend all the rest of their offensive cash on 3 new IOL...
If Arch plays like this, WR is probably less of an issue if they can keep him clean and get push in the running game...

re: All child care payments nationwide have officially been frozen
Posted by laxtonto on 12/30/25 at 8:39 pm to BayouBaw84
The overlooked problem in childcare subsidy fraud is how it indirectly drives up costs for families who don't qualify for aid.
Systemic fraud depletes the limited public funds allocated for childcare assistance in a given region. When funds run out prematurely due to overbilling or fake claims, policymakers often increase future allocations or prioritize aid for the "most needy" cases. This can squeeze out working families who are just above eligibility thresholds.
Large childcare chains rely on data-driven models—using census, tax records, and reported capacity—to decide where to build new centers. Fraudulent or ghost centers inflate the apparent supply in urban areas, signaling that demand is already met. As a result, providers invest elsewhere, often in higher-income suburbs where private-pay customers can afford premium rates. Meanwhile, families still qualifying for subsidies may need to commute to suburban centers for available slots, which often prioritize aided children. This reduces spots for unsubsidized suburban families, creating scarcity in a wealthier market. Providers, knowing they can charge more to private clients, raise rates accordingly.
Not only are they bleeding you dry in entitlement fraud, much like with housing, but they are also artificially increasing demand and driving up childcare prices...

I currently have a doctoral student researching this topic and how people's views (especially iin areas tied to trust and decision making) can be manipulated by the AI,
Why this is important is that people begin to "trust" the AI with the belief that it has their best interests at heart, when in truth it is just a computer program that can (and will) be manipulated for product placement and sales.
What is going to be more interesting is how to use this AI companion agent to converse with Alzheimer's patients and other facets of dementia.

USC DC announced he is going to Penn State today. My guess is Kwiatkowski to USC will happen some time after the Texas bowl game to not have any conflicts with the Texas staff/players.
I would not be shocked that this “firing” had been worked out for a while once Aranda took the PSI job.

Sounds like Kwiatkowski really wants to go back to the west coast and Texas let him go when the opportunity to hire Muschamp appeared.
My guess is USC or is hoping that Fisch goes from Washington to Michigan and he can DC at Washington after all the dust settles. Sounds like he has no interest in being a HC.

Well... Saban keeps saying they pipe in crowd noise and he isnt the first coach say that. Maybe it isn't really as loud and intimidating as we are being led to believe.

A&M struggles with dynamic D lines that can get pressure with 4 so teams can cap their over the top passing game with deep safeties. It gets even worse when teams can still stop the run...
