damn...I missed them thanks

I thought I saw that they were going to have white out shirts for the first game? I don't recall seeing them. Anyone get one?

Man that DOES look like Apogee. It's nice....

I tend to agree. But I have a question about that..... If there was a split (an official split) and FBS/Div 1/whatever it’s called, was 50-60 teams (which is what they want anyway) would the result be a disaster? We’re not talking about being in a division with current FCS teams....would it be in a division with current G5’s? A playoff with them? CUSA/AAC/MWC etc. reorganized via geography? The difference in then and now is we’ll have company this time. UH isn’t gettin in the new D1. SMU isn’t. Memphis isn’t. Etc. ****Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not ADVOCATING for that. Just asking the question****

As Andre Ware said on College Football Live last week...I'm sure Mack didn't think that when he was at App St or Tulane. But regardless, this is going to continue to pick up steam... P5s are starting to schedule more P5 non conference games in the future. I"m surprised they haven't just outright "colluded" and made an agreement to eliminate games vs G5s all together. Forget P5 vs G5.....what are they going to do about the top 3rd of the P5 vs the rest of the P5. That hurts their credibility for these arguments for separation IMHO.

Saw it close up. Went on the back side and could see in. Pics don’t do it justice. It’s huge and is first class. Recruits are gonna LOVE it

From just what I’ve seen today. Aune looks GOOD More accurate than Bean

According to Vito, Sow is expected to report later?

the first half of our season is tough... SMU, Cal, UH, @USM all 4 are tossups....we could go 4-0 or 0-4 in those games. I just don't know....

Agree with all of that. The game just seems like a tossup. Maybe I'm overrating SMU and I have to get the 2nd half of last season out of my mind...They did upgrade their QB, are in Dykes's system now and we're playing there. To your point...if we don't beat SMU...we're probably not going to beat Cal. But I really want to go into the Houston game at least 3-1. (we have a good chance to be 4-0. 3-1 just looks so much better than 2-2 going into a tough game. I don't want to have to beat Houston to avoid being under .500) It just feels like that's the key game and will show what this team is made of. We win...we're headed toward a sellout against Houston with a good record. We lose...we could be staring at under .500 going to Hattiesburg.

Have we ever received preseason top 25 votes? I don't remember if we have....

The SMU game is so important. We have to win that game.

I'm not sure that article does what it's supposed to do. It says facts don't back up Trumps rhetoric then it lists facts that basically do. It seems "infested" is the big sticking point. Elijah Cummings himself described Baltimore as "drug infested" several years ago. But even more...it shows how the rich in his district are living well while the poor are not. That's a huge divide. All under Rep Cummings leadership. That article paints a picture of something he's supposed to be against. He's been representing the people of his district for a long time. If the rich white people are happy with him and keep voting him in....and the poor black folks of Baltimore keep getting screwed...seems that Rep. Cummings is part of the problem when it comes to the issues of a large part of his district. So Rep. Cummings can keep taking his big donations from the unions while telling half of his constituency whose fault it is they're poor. But at some point he has to offer a solution right? If he can't, what's he doing for his $200K salary? He's only been their representative for 20+ years. Interesting fact: Baltimore's murder rate is double the rate of Guatemala....a country that many anti Trump folks just said was too dangerous for people to seek asylum. But maybe there's a silver lining here for a large part of Baltimore. The people that have ignored them for years all the sudden care about them...I can't help but think they're happy people may actually listen to them now. https://ballotpedia.org/Elijah_Cummings The latest figures put his net worth at $1.3 million. Not bad for a public employee....he's done well for himself. I think that ^ is the swamp Trump talks about. The last paragraph of the article below cannot sum up today's views any better. (underline and italics added for emphasis) Donald Trump may be the one to use offensive language to talk about Baltimore, but as we saw in the last election, many people in Maryland, including some county executives and newspaper editorial board members, object to racist rhetoric but get mighty uncomfortable when a gubernatorial candidate says he’ll change the state’s racist policies of the past. Better to have a popular, “bipartisan” governor who will quietly, politely, genteelly, drain the city instead. https://ggwash.org/view/73198/trump-baltimore-racist-hogan-politicians Twitter is not the real world...

Seems in life (corp America definitely included) confidence gets you further than substance...

"Trump was, once again, blustering about a subject he didn’t understand, while insisting that he knew it better than anyone else." Now that ^ I will agree with

I've never posted a Prager U video on here... And come on man.... I think you're honest enough to know that the Charlottesville "fine people" controversy has been debunked multiple times. By you know....anyone that listened to the words that came out of his mouth. “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.” I'm really not sure how he could be any clearer....he said that in the same press conference about 2 minutes after he said "fine people" That one ranks up there with "Muslim ban." If the press says it enough maybe it will become true?

I think we've established that Trump handles criticism like a 4 year old. She constantly attacks him so like a 4 year old he throws his toy at her. That's what he was doing. He throws his toys at everyone that criticizes him.

Scott Adams has an interesting theory on how we view Trump. https://www.scottadamssays.com/2017/02/12/good-example-of-our-two-movie-reality/

So if Omar was a white woman from Germany and Germany was a war torn country like Somalia. And she escaped and came here and then constantly attacked Trump....do we think Trump would leave her alone because of the color of her skin? He wouldn’t say “if you hate it here so much go back to Germany and fix them?” (I notice the narrative always leaves off “.....and fix them” that he said at the end) I don’t think you can honestly say Trump wouldn’t say the exact same thing to someone from another country that was doing what she was. Regardless of their race. Because he’s an immature defensive baby. My point is he’s an A-Hole to EVERYONE. And.....I guess Rand Paul is a racist too. He just offered to buy Omar a ticket back to Somalia so she’ll “appreciate America”

I will say the one thing in the article I didn’t agree with is what you said. I don’t believe EVERYONE on the left thinks ALL Trump supporters are racist. That is a big part of the narrative though put out by the media. But I don’t believe it. I was more interested in his “test” I think that it’s more of an ideological disagreement between the left and right that gets labeled as racism. Even with Trump. He can attack Jerry Brown or Adam Schiff or Chuck Schumer and it’s “meh he’s just a jerk” but when he attacks Elijah Cummings or AOC or Omar it’s ONLY because he’s racist. Seems he attacks everyone on the left but his motives get questioned when he attacks certain people. Surely we can see the double standard? And I’m not a big Trump supporter by the way. I honestly try to look at things objectively.

So what about his point did you disagree with?

Interesting article: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/trump-supporters-white-conservatives-racism-charge/ I would be curious to know an opposing viewpoint on it.
