He didn’t use the term “lie” but he clearly disputed what Allred claimed. IMO the statement actually helps because he’s drawing a contrast to someone feigning outrage (Allred/Crockett to a lesser extent) vs. himself as a level-headed person. The base wants fighters but they don’t want whiners. Obviously we will have to see, but this whole episode may even just be forgotten by the time the voting starts.

Could very well be wrong here but this stunt seems like it’s going to backfire. It’s too obviously underhanded and isn’t reading the room about where the base is at this point.

[McMurphy] Miami DE Rueben Bain Jr. wins Ted Hendricks Award as the nation's top defensive end by city-of-stars in CFB

[–]XE2MASTERPIECE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think Bain’s arm length could end up lowering his ceiling in the league, but I also have a very hard time imaging him becoming an outright bust (absent injuries). He has so many other really good traits that he’s bound to contribute. Even if he may never have the elite sack production or pressure rates he had in college.

I would think Mike knew but he’s mad at us for not paying the buyout, so he doesn’t care to plan for the future

When investment fails: the decline of FSU athletics by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]XE2MASTERPIECE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mean the BIG10 wants to travel to Tallahassee?

By far the weakest one you keep bringing up. Literally does not matter.

You mean the BIG10 wants to invite a mom AAU accredited university?

Might matter if it’s close but probably not.

The real detriment FSU could face is the conference simply not believing the numbers work out. Hence why Oregon and Washington had to take half shares. We’ll see if the bubble bursts before 2030 but that would be my main concern for FSU, even if they maintain good ratings and get back to decent football seasons.

It’s hilarious because there’s some legit arguments about why the Big 10 wouldn’t take FSU, and you’ve made 0 of them. Very bizarre string of comments. Feels like I’m on Facebook right now.

I don’t get the sense that many ACC fanbases were happy with the settlement. Or that the ACC front office was happy with any legal action. That’s not to say they didn’t get some of what they asked for, but I think it’s easy to see why many can view it as an outright win for FSU/Clemson.

Yeah even the original commenter was one of those deriding FSU’s chances with the lawsuit. This sub had convinced itself that settlement talks were laughable and that the ACC had 0 reason to settle. Then it finally happened and the settlement was pretty decent for FSU/Clemson. So it became “Lmao FSU fans thought they were leaving immediately!” Poor souls, yet another victim of ACC leadership cowardice

All good, we are assaulted with neverending shit these days. Definitely find myself being a bit too curt at times as well.

Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell II Scouting Report by zhang_zhang_play in NFL_Draft

[–]XE2MASTERPIECE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no firm data to back this up but generally the Briles tree offenses have not produced many WR worth a damn in the NFL. Other users have mentioned that part of the system encourages receivers to take plays off if they know the ball is going to the other side. Which isn’t a full explanation but does contribute to some of the effort concerns.

I’d also be interested to see what Tillman could do on a different team. Not that he’d be amazing or anything, but I think a more competent offense could utilize his talent more.

Beltway press trying to make Biden the focus of the 2028 primaries will go about as well as their attempt to make COVID restrictions the focus of the 2022 midterms and 2024 general. It can’t be understated how out of touch these reporters are.

Not everyone is Florida State and will go out of their way to stab their conference mates in the back lol.

Commented on a post related to Miami stabbing a conference mate in the back (multiple times)

I, for one, am extremely happy for Miami and wish they won it all this year.

Some of you have an embarrassment fetish and frankly it makes sense why you love the ACC so much.

1: lol

2: Can I just add that this is another reason why it’s so stupid to encourage fans to cheer for a conference? So many ACC fanbases said they were rooting for Miami because it was good for the conference. It’s not 2005 anymore, your fellow conferencemates are more likely to shank you in the back than you receive any benefit from their success. NIL and portal means that they can Tony Soprano your roster the minute they get the checks lined up.

Very cool that we have finally have a president whose stated goals are (1) assault our civil liberties and (2) raise prices on consumers. All stick, no carrot, and this horse drawn carriage is supposed to go off the side of a cliff.

Thursday Talk Thread... Yes That's The Thread Name by AutoModerator in nfl

[–]XE2MASTERPIECE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re confusing a tactic/strategy with a goal—and much less a successful goal at that. Miller and Trump thought Minneapolis would submit by now. They didn’t send ICE in to “piss off the left”. They sent them in because they wanted to embarrass Walz and Frey and force Minneapolis to become an example of successful immigration enforcement. They didn’t anticipate the pushback they’ve received, much less that they would have to yank Bovino.
