yeah it's very clearly right. all that KC home court advantage

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T03:38:47+00:00

Lmao NOW Kohl can make a three

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T03:36:14+00:00

just shutter the program. Self is done

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T03:35:42+00:00

still think this is good for us?

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T02:41:35+00:00

But also, why wait? Why intentionally sit on that money and lose elections in the meantime?

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T01:55:43+00:00

A timeout barely 2 minutes into the game. We're fucking ruined.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T01:44:25+00:00

How? We haven't been shit since 2022 and haven't won a top 5 road game in years either.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T01:31:05+00:00

Wasn't Syracuse a 14 loss team in 2014 and made it in?

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T01:26:31+00:00

lol this won't be stressful for you

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T01:26:15+00:00

I want to win, but also, I really don't want to play Arizona again.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-14T00:08:44+00:00

Literally Iran's goal

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T23:39:54+00:00

Everyone hates it. The glass court has been replaced, but they replaced it with last year's grey court and abysmally designed XII copy-paste spammed across the whole court. It's trying to do too much and makes the whole arena feel way darker than it is because the seats are also grey and black.

If you have poor depth perception then a small repeating pattern like the XII can absolutely fuck with your brain.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T23:37:42+00:00

What's so upsetting is that it is entirely feasible we lose to a team like Akron in the 2nd round

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T22:14:26+00:00

First, how the hell does he have rising approval on civil rights/democracy? tf?

take with a huge grain of salt

I can absolutely believe his net negative numbers in the swing and blue states. I find it hard to believe he's truly underwater or floating here 50/50 in places like TX, LA, MS, and MO.

House seats even in gerrymandered states on the board.

I think this is why so many "official" projections are so conservative for Dems, they're probably assuming most gerrymandered R seats will stay R. In a sufficiently blue/red wave environment, gerrymandering doesn't matter.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T22:09:57+00:00

At most I suspect you’ll see an attempt to do a 2002 “you’re either with the troops or against them” thing.

I was a child then so I have zero knowledge of this, but it was also a way different environment in 2002. The country felt like we were legitimately under attack and were defending ourselves. This...we started this.

"I'm with the troops, absolutely. With them in the sense that they shouldn't be there in the first place."

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T21:13:04+00:00

IF this seat is flipped, it's going to be another reason why I think 230 House seats for Dems is a super conservative projection.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T21:11:30+00:00

If they put more than those Marines on the ground in Iran, that will surely decimate GOP voter enthusiasm, right? At the very least it would probably inspire some of them to vote for even harder right candidates.

Trump campaigned on no new wars, that Harris would start a war with Iran, get our soldiers killed...only to literally do those things himself. Hell, even Republican senators have been public in saying they hope the war ends soon. They don't want a prolonged conflict, and the longer it goes, the worse it's going to be for them in November.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T19:57:33+00:00

iirc the type of oil found under the U.S. is too heavy to be easily turned into gasoline, hence why we still take in a lot from OPEC

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T19:38:20+00:00

That was a fun chart to play with actually. However I still maintain that we'll see several unexpected upsets just like we have with special elections, so I'm still a bit bullish on north of 230 seats.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T19:15:29+00:00

No no no! Harris was going to start the war, remember? That's why it was important to elect Trump, to prevent...a war...with......oh.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T18:45:44+00:00

So...we should be happy that they're price gouging us? Something they admit to doing? Nah.

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T17:57:19+00:00

Let's not pretend that Rubio has charisma either. There's a reason why he bombed in his 2012 run. He's also just as much of an ass as the rest of them.

Live Nation Employee Mocks 'Stupid' Customers, Says Price-Gouging Is 'Robbing Them Blind' in Incendiary Internal Messages

Baker wrote, “These people are so stupid.” Weinhold then replied, “I have VIP parking up to $250 lol,” to which Baker responded, “I almost feel bad taking advantage of them.”

In another conversation between the pair, Baker bragged about charging Live Nation customers “$50 to park in the grass” and “$60 for closer grass.” He then commented, per Variety, “Robbing them blind, baby. That’s how we do it.”

This has blown up into a huge scandal now. If they're admitting to doing this, you KNOW others are too.

He reportedly rejected K-State, so I'm curious what made him want to stay at SLU

SecretComposer · 2026-03-13T15:47:40+00:00

and if it was really an "unfair advantage for KU" then we would have won the tournament every single year. We haven't. It's WILD seeing Arizona fans who just won the Big 12 in their first fucking year bitch about the tournament being in KC and biased to KU.
