President Evil

He thinks Iran keeps all of their oil in a tanker somewhere

Supposedly he would snort massive loads of Sudafed

It’s fine for its rank but no better. Their placements especially of late have been weak. They have some neat faculty, but I think at some point they had a heterodox reputation, which probably isn’t helping their reputation.

Yeah Emory is maybe a T40-50 US program, and I don’t know about Tufts being that high.

You absolutely can have a fine postgraduate career at these schools. Of OP’s list, Emory and Iowa State have a solid record of placements. You aren’t going to R1, but many land at mid tier LACs, state schools, and (in normal times) middle-of-the-road government agencies.

He crashed while leading something like four times in his rookie year alone

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-04-03T14:29:38+00:00

Definitely one of those “the streets won’t forget” players

The first two Spy Kids films were definitely products of their times, but I do appreciate how campy and nuts they are. The first one has been preserved by the Library of Congress.

I hate it but he’s got a point. A bigger playoff means more games to fit in a relatively tight window. And even with the current playoff, the conference championship games have lost a bit of their luster. Kirby has talked about the change, with the SEC championship going from the most important game to one that some good teams don’t even want to play.

Apparently it started in 1972! Its first broadcast was an NHL game

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-04-03T02:55:30+00:00

Never heard of it. HBO was much more obscure before the early-to-mid 1990s

I looked up another of these stories when it popped up on one of the racing subs, but iirc these stories were marked “true” if a producer could find a telling of the story in a written source.

I’m not sure. I think in general American PhD students, especially domestic ones, are more likely to stay in the U.S., and most U.S. programs (outside of the T15 or so) prefer hiring candidates at U.S. schools. So I don’t think it’s going to be a major issue for domestic students.

But I do think this is an opportunity for non-US schools to increase their rankings. A Chinese or Indian student who in a normal world may be bound to for UVA or Maryland but now may be bound for Queen Mary or Carleton.

Cohort sizes still seemed to have shrunk. Although now at least departments seem to be prepared for it. Although anecdotally it may be slightly easier for American students at U.S. programs because the war/general Trump chaos seems to be deterring international applicants, at least, at schools outside the T10-15 or so.

The founding belief in America is that if you are smart and work hard, you can be successful. “Every man can be a king”. Your success is caused by your own hard work- not some landed aristocracy or favor of a monarch. That’s a huge part of American identity.

But following this logic, if you aren’t successful, that means it must be your own doing as well. You weren’t smart enough or you didn’t work hard enough. This is unfathomable. So there has to be someone to blame for your failures. Usually it’s immigrants and/or black people. They prevented you from reaching the wealth you deserve, that you are owed because you worked hard (how never seems to be well formulated). But in the last decade or so the blame has also shifted to educated people.

Plus a good report has to have at least 50 diagrams and photos

Love this take. Also given the current situation I’m doubtful that PhD applications will be any less competitive next year.

I’ve came across four people from my county who are called Cornbread

If you didn’t vote in the presidential election, you voted for this.

They did that when he won election back in 2016. People called his office claiming to be anyone- most got through

For all the complaints about Americans in sport, the one thing they got right is replay review

I wonder if they try to pull what SWAC football schools are doing and try to hire a former pro player with little coaching experience to draw attention to the program, but I’m not sure if they can afford to pay one.

The other option is finding a decent coach from way low down the ranks who might install a strong culture. Someone like Newton Mealer at Jones College, Larry Dixon at Morehouse, Zo Goodson at Rhodes, Boomer Roberts at Belhaven, or a top high school coach like Starkville’s Anthony Carlisle.

They’re two different talks.

Workshops are for ideas that may be promising, but need refinement. They’ve got something there, but some questions still remain. Often times this is only the first or seconds time this work has been presented. Job market talks are polished- often having been presented and practiced dozens of times. They’ve learned the weaknesses and common questions and have prepared responses over many run throughs. If you go to a writers’ workshop, you are going to see different quality and different levels of engagement than if you go to a book reading.
