I will be disappointed if we never get a little Sprinkle on the field.

I heard a story like this on one of those ghost story podcasts a couple of years ago. Might have been Spooked. Anyway, it's not real.

Well, it’s daytime in Iran. Nothing much happens during the day. Give it about 4-5 days. When our assets are in place, pressure will again be exerted.
I have not seen much in the way of reports of mass killings.

If tweet fails to load, click here. This is a live containment operation.
The strike was real. The reversal was real.
This is state-level controlled ignition.
There was a greenlight. Then a high-level override.
Carrier strike groups moved. Bombers were armed.
Evacuation flights were ordered, then stood down.
Chalk orders were issued. Logs show “mission called off.”
The clock was ticking and the clock stopped.
Why?
Because something broke the symmetry.
Trump went on camera. Iran halted executions.
A backchannel was opened via Pakistan.
Regional actors like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar intervened to prevent use of airspace.
A UN Security Council session was triggered mid-crisis.
The airspace closure, the rerouted commercial flights, the military standby - all of it was real.
The response was not symbolic. It was surgical.
The deterrent message was delivered with maximum ambiguity.
Iran blinked. Trump flexed. But neither side collapsed.
This was a trial run.
The US gained full-spectrum data on Iranian readiness.
Command latency. Radar activation. Defensive posture.
Iran showed its hand under pressure.
The Pentagon watched every move.
What the US just did was a dry-run ignition protocol to test reflexes.
And it worked.
No bombs dropped. No martyrs made.
But the field was mapped, the pressure applied, and the exit offered.
Trump now controls the pace of escalation.
Iran is buying time through signals and intermediaries.
The Ayatollah is either evacuating or preparing an internal firewall.
Both are collapse moves.
The sanctions, the media leaks, the social media info war - they are not distractions.
They are phase 2 of a psyops-led siege campaign.
Collapse without a missile. Submission through saturation.
This is war by other means.
The strike is no longer the question.
The strike is now leverage.
Collapse has entered the slow spiral.
No fundamental rescue exists inside Iran.
Sanctions are deepening. Capital is fleeing.
Water shortages, blackouts, repression - all accelerating.
The regime is now hostage to its own stagnation.
And everyone at the top of the game knows it.
This was not about killing leaders.
This was about proving who moves the sky.
And now the whole world sees who moves it.
The tempo of collapse has entered American control.
Not by force. By frequency.
The signal has been sent.
Again with Tulane? Does nobody remember the 1980's?

Just read an article that is an excellent analysis of what happens next in Iran. The author posits that the age of the ayatollahs and theocracy is probably dead, and that the IRGC is most likely to try and turn the country into a military dictatorship a la North Korea. The best hope for avoiding this is that the various factions in the country (monarchists, anti-monarchists, radicals, non-Persian minorities) come together as one to force the creation of a democratic government. Quite a few smart people are not confident in that last scenario materializing.

quote:
Iran is moving along three parallel paths of regime change, each racing on its own timetable and together defining the country’s historic moment.
The first is biological and inescapable. The political system’s apex is occupied by an aging supreme leader whose mortality has become the regime’s most visible expression of decay. Ali Khamenei is nearing 90, and if Iran’s society or an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) soft coup does not remove him, nature almost certainly will.
Yet the passing of Khamenei would not, by itself, usher in democracy. Over decades, the IRGC, a US-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, has positioned itself to inherit the state, paving the way for a post-clerical order. This future would more closely resemble a military dictatorship than a republic.
A third post-revolutionary trend presses from below. The social contract between the regime and most of Iranian society—especially the young—has eroded beyond repair. Here, American political-military choices matter most. Should Washington openly align with popular pressure, it could become a decisive accelerant.
quote:
The Revolutionary Guards have long ceased to be merely a parallel military. The IRGC is a self-financing power structure that fuses battlefield experience, economic capture, and regional penetration into a single system of rule. Born in the turbulence of the 1979 Revolution and intended to suppress counter-revolutionary threats, the corps were hardened by the Iran-Iraq War. Post-war reconstruction elevated the engineering and construction arm, Khatam al-Anbia, into the country’s dominant contractor.
quote:
Once the supreme leader passes, there won’t be a very powerful ayatollah around that can match the stature of Ruhollah Khomeini, the revolutionary leader and founder of the state, and Khamenei, the successor who ruled Iran for decades. The power vacuum in the clerical dimension of the Islamic Republic has been reinforcing the Guards’ claim to be the country’s ultimate oppressor. Should the system survive Khamenei’s passing, it is unlikely to remain a theocratic tyranny in its current form. Instead, Iran would drift toward a military dictatorship cloaked in revolutionary symbolism—less Qom, more Pyongyang—where uniforms matter the most.

Did we get Iran to expose most if not all of its defensive measures last night
This is why you put receivers in motion. You want to see if the defense is in man to man or zone. Then you check down if necessary.
Something is up, y’all. We have no idea. Trump has not abandoned the brave people in the streets.
Y'all think Landen Clark is pissed?

He probably knew he would be behind one other guy but probably figured he could compete and be one play away. Now all that is shot to hell.

I don’t think the Tigers stuck more than 3 landings all day. Stick more landings and this thing is an LSU runaway. But this has been an issue for a while. We typically don’t start sticking most of our landings until halfway through the season. OU sticks from the get go. The fact that we were so close to them despite that suggests that we are the more talented squad.
This might be the bravest bunch of ordinary people in world history. They are literally out in the streets by the MILLIONS. And they have no guns. The regime has guns, but the people aren’t leaving.

They realized that the greatest season in school history was over. And today was a work day. Did it really happen? Is it really over?
They realized that they are losing their QB and most of their offensive linemen and receivers, as well as all of their offensive coaches. And the guy that built the offensive juggernaut is now coaching a hated rival.
And most significantly, they realized that Pete Golding is their head coach. In all the heated excitement of hooking up with what you thought was an OT10 you met at the poolside bar, you forgot to use a rubber. Now your future is set.

I think this might be a veiled shot at some woke sacred cows. Like trans rights, etc. Hard to tell. It’s a pretty opaque comment.
Anybody got a list of OL still on our roster? Plus HS and portal commits.
Posted by Slippy on 1/9/26 at 8:42 am
I’d like to see a complete list of what we have to work with next year (as of now). I do think we pick up a couple more, but I’m wondering if the cupboard is really as bad as the chicken littles are saying.
Umm, are they still students?
Back at good ole Captain Shreve in the early 80s, the letter jacket was a big deal. The sleeves were vinyl, not leather. I kept it after high school in a garment bag hanging in the back of the closet. About 10 years ago I decided to take it out and look at it. The sleeves had melted. Green greasy goo everywhere. Nasty. I threw it in the trash.
