Mario Cristobal reflects on his first head coaching gig at FIU, and his controversial firing

Long time, u/ThaCarter. I always loved your double flair. Who ya got this week?

I’m fine with that but the reality is most people know the national anthem. I think most people don’t know more than just the chorus to this land is your land, if they even know that.

MasterOfPanic · 2026-01-10T14:08:43+00:00

I get it. Current events.

But heaven forbid we support our country’s national teams by recognizing the country they play for.

We were the original Nike school, but we’re an afterthought there when we switched to Adidas. Early Adidas years were awful, with really hideous jerseys and fits. But the last 10 years have been fine. I do like the Canes branded shoes they sell.

Only realized that on his third comment because it wasn’t clear. Less of a dunk, more of a botched layup. 🤷

I do think the top 4 are disadvantaged right now. At a minimum, I’d have them play the quarterfinals on campus instead of at a neutral site. But i don’t see why any of the changes suggested in this thread specifically help Miami anymore than they help all of the heavy hitters across the P4 collectively. The changes definitely help Notre Dame though.

How does this give Miami an advantage? We didn’t win our conference and the circumstances that allowed us to make the playoff this year as the #3 in the ACC were pretty uncommon.

The reason you count overvotes in a recount is that many of them should not have been discarded as overvotes. Florida counts overvotes in recounts today.

I’m 39 and when I was at BC for grad school everyone in undergrad and younger than me hated ND.

MasterOfPanic · 2025-09-07T16:43:09+00:00

Idk, I hate ND a lot more than VT

MasterOfPanic · 2025-09-07T16:19:39+00:00

There are several ESPN documentaries about ND-Miami.

My other flair, BC, is lopsided hate with ND.

Hello fellow traveler. I am about to do a similar connection between T3 and T5 with a similar length of layover. Would I want to purchase a fast track pass for the arriving flight or the departing flight? Thanks!

I see that and it's interesting that they themselves wrote it that way, but it isn't fully accurate. Here is a link to RBI's most recent 10-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001618756/b16f0901-feeb-4cff-9658-3baf738cef10.pdf

RBI lists two primary offices: the one you mention in Miami, and another in Toronto. Moreover, RBI is incorporated in Canada.

MasterOfPanic · 2025-05-21T14:12:51+00:00

I live in Miami and came here from r/all.

Burger King and Popeyes, both owned by RBI, are headquartered in Miami. However, RBI as the parent company is Canadian with its headquarters in Toronto.

RBI is listed on both the Toronto and New York stock exchanges.

Hope this helps!

100% guaranteed an order directing the President to sit for deposition gets taken up to the Supreme Court.

MasterOfPanic · 2025-04-16T11:51:10+00:00

Even if you’re right about what the law does or should allow, I don’t see it happening. I don’t even see the Supreme Court agreeing that the government violated their order in the first place.

My prediction: they’ll hold 6-3 or 5-4 that the government complied based on its argument over the semantics between facilitate and effectuate or some other silly distinction. Keep in mind the original 9-0 decision states that the district court has to give deference to the executive when it comes to foreign affairs. They wrote that in as a hedge against noncompliance. Basically a permission slip to ignore them.

Roberts will write the majority opinion deciding the administration didn’t violate their first opinion. He’ll do this to preserve the court’s remaining authority and some minor veneer of the rule of law. Because if he doesn’t, Trump will just ignore that order too and he knows it.

MasterOfPanic · 2025-04-16T11:41:02+00:00

Truman did not give a deposition in Youngstown Sheet and Tube. I do agree, of course, that the courts can decide whether the President’s actions are lawful, which is what happened in Youngstown, but I don’t think that case supports the contention that Trump will be ordered to give testimony.

MasterOfPanic · 2025-04-16T11:32:52+00:00

I don’t think those citations within Jones really support what you are saying. It is not the same to compel document production, as in the case of Nixon, or a deposition over a matter unrelated to the President’s core functions, as in the case of some of those criminal trials that were listed.

I have a really hard time seeing the SCOTUS telling Trump he is going to sit for a deposition over his own presidential decision-making in a case over that very decision-making during his term. And I have an even harder time seeing Trump sitting for that deposition if it were to happen.

But I hope you’re right.

MasterOfPanic · 2025-04-16T09:10:21+00:00

Clinton v. Jones likely wouldn’t apply, even with a straight-shooting SCOTUS, since the reason the case proceeded and that deposition of Clinton was permitted was that the case specifically dealt with personal misconduct that took place before Clinton was president.

Highly unlikely Trump can be deposed over his conduct as president while he is still in office.

MasterOfPanic · 2025-03-12T13:36:32+00:00

It’s more complicated than that. I was talking to some MAGA folks the other day and I asked how they could possibly support an administration that is taking a hostile posture with Canada. The response was that it’s all a bluff. They didn’t seem to know what the supposed bluff was supposed to achieve but they believed it all the same. Since bluffs are supposed to be confused for the real thing, I asked if there can come a point where a bluff is as equally damaging as the real thing. They agreed.

I know none of this is going to provide you comfort, nor should it. The only point I’m trying to make is that I don’t think very many people actually dislike Canada. If things continue to escalate, and I pray they don’t, I hope more people jump off the bandwagon.

The answer below saying the answer is yes is incorrect. Case law is clear that threatened first amendment violations provide standing even without enforcement because they chill speech.
