    BIG Commissioner, "it's looking more and more like no Fall Sports".

    Airing opposing views is not always the honest thing to do. It can give the false impression that there's really a 50-50 controversy and sow doubt where there should be none- cigarettes cause cancer, breathing lead fumes from gas is harmful, climate change is real and anthropogenic, evolution...

    OT: What is an unpopular opinion that you have? Do you...

    State Department workers carry out foreign policy; they don't make it. Politicians make it at the behest of corporations.

    OT: What is an unpopular opinion that you have? Do you...

    Absolutely agree with this- without the specter of everybody's kid being susceptible to being snatched up by the government at random to fight in wars, presidents are far too free to declare them. If the military relied on a draft, for example, either Bush does not go into Iraq or he is denied...

    Jay on 107.5 Deserves Props Today for Tanner

    Actually hard to tell- he could just have been a great judge of talent and a great recruiter. I always laugh when I hear some sportscaster say so-and-so has a great baseball mind. There was one such, Earl Weaver of the old Orioles, and it was said his skill was worth about three games over the...

    I have never KNOWN FOR A FACT that we would beat clemson in football

    I don't know how much better you were during the streak but I do know Spurrier was deeply embedded in Clemson's mind- from Swinney on down and particularly Boyd's. SOS was doubtlessly part Svengali. Don't remember the year offhand but the game was in Cola. CU pushed you around on both sides...

    Biggest World Series upset you've seen on TV or in person

    Worst season ever for me- I was born in Baltimore and at age 11 moved to northern Illinois. By age 20 that year was still loyal to my O's but had a strong second with the Cubbies. In September the Cubs were 5 games up and I had visions of an I-can't-lose Orioles-Cubs match-up. First, the...

    coach bentley

    Let's not forget what got the train rolling at Clemson- hiring Chad Morris as OC when he had only one year's college experience after high school coaching. Plodding along doing the accepted thing with traditional hires is probably not going to cut it.

    SEC 1. ACC 0

    Shame it has to work that way.

    ACC network. - what are the big Marquee acc match-ups

    This network is not really a plus. The CU/Tech game would have been of ESPN otherwise but to kick off the new network, it's an exclusive. Will probably burn a youtubetv or Vue free trial period for this game and then unplug.

    OT - Refrigerator Suggestions

    They are about to get our house ready after Hurricane Michael messed with us last year and I am about to replace a fridge damaged not by the cane but by the movers. The deeper I dig, the less confidence I have in any of them. I was hoping this thread would bring some clarity but no such luck...

    Feaster: I was one of those fans that was on the fence relative to him coming

    I still have doubts. He is a very good back but even from high school, he has been a bit fragile. Whether you get enough out of him to offset any problems caused by your coaches basically telling your existing backs they have no faith the current players can get it done is another matter...

    Dabo won't give Bryant a title ring...

    Interesting side-note here is that he does have a ring from the first one- a season in which he contributed far less. Anyway, it makes him the first Missouri player since 1962 to wear one.

    Who likes to watch your team have a dominating defense vs high scoring game?

    I'll admit to being a shallow fan- I want offense. While there is much to be said for bone-jarring sacks, give me the deep ball and ankle-breaking RBs all day. Defensive struggles remind me too much of the general futility of soccer.

    OT: Top Gun: Maverick (and other remakes/reboots/revivals)

    Imagine how good CGI and virtual reality might be in 20 or 30 years. I'd think all the good sci-fi's might get remade or at least face-lifted. Imagine Jurassic Park or Jumangi with creature stampeding in the aisles.

    Will any of our RB seek to transfer?

    Not sure why you believe this. Kelly Bryant played four games of his final year of eligibility and decided to transfer. The positive side of the transfer portal is that you get an instant upgrade at a position. The downside is that you just told every other player at that position you have no...

    USC elects Gen Robert Caslen as 29th President (Official Thread)

    The lack of a doctorate is certainly a prestige issue but I think faculty and student blowback stems from to perceived (whether it happens or not) increases in discipline and regimentation. West Point is loaded with rules no South Carolina would freely vote for.

    OT: Cherynobyl: HBO mini-series

    There's also a message about listening to politicians instead of scientists that applies today.

    Espn guys having a circle jerk at Clemson

    This was likely all ESPN. They're cranking out the ACC Network in August and need all the positive conference hype they can get leading up to the launch. Plus Herbie's boys are walking on there. Plus a bit more than just local interest because players like like Lawrence and Ross showed out in...

    It’s going to be brutal next year.

    It's doable. UF came back and beat you by four pts. mainly with the run (398 yds.). They lose 4 starting OL. A&M got you by just three, holding you to 23 pts. The lose nearly their entire front seven. And Kentucky just can't keep this up forever, can they?

    12/18/2015–Last win vs Clemsux

    You had that last bit exactly backwards- should read, "You struggle to... because you don't care." To correct another minor point- you bring in more money than CU thanks to that healthy SEC network contract. Though Newspring is always exaggerated, I'll admit winning big in FB will shake some...
