    To me it's not about them beating my team (Bama also beat some other teams, one where the player scored 19 points) but it's about rules, policies, procedures. NCAA is so afraid of being sued and so afraid of being the "bad guy" that they have laxed on what used to be cut and dry.

    Bama used an ineligible player. They took the risk. They should receive the punishment. 

    Pretty clear to me.

    I agree. I guess my point was more about how it shouldn’t have even been an option in the first place. The Ags got screwed, momentum came to a standstill, and anyone with two brain cells knew this was going to be the outcome. Even if they get the win through a forfeit the situation was detrimental to their season to some degree

    I believe I have already agreed with you on this point but that is obviously not good enough, it’s not always about Trump. This administration has an opportunity to blow this wide open and they’re passing on it and hiding information from the public. Did you watch the judiciary hearing with Pam Bondi the other day? It was embarrassing and this was Trumps response. Trump is tone deaf! It’s not ALL about him! The law he signed called the Epstein Files Transparency Act got almost a unanimous vote from Republicans and Democrats 
    which rarely happens. 

     

     

    Everybody hates on CardinalBacker, but he's hit the nail on the head when he talks about people ignoring a lot of really bad behavior/poor performance and circling the wagons around Trump. we're seeing more of it in this thread, including the continual deflection/pretending that the whole Epstein thing is an effort to get at Trump. I'm with you completely on the ideas that 1) this is much bigger than Trump (although if the ish sticks to him let him wear it) and 2) he's handled the whole situation horribly, shielding powerful people just as Biden did (either actively or through omissions and redactions).

    They should.  If a school chooses to run a kid out there before the case is final, they should assume the risk.  Jmo.  

    allowing players to play with pending litigation sets a really bad precedent. obviously, I'm no aggie fan, but they were on a fantastic run before losing to Bama. Bediako didn't do anything crazy in the game against the Ags, but he put up a few points and boards, a block, and provided 19 minutes of 7-ft-tall rim protection.  the Ags lost a game by 3 that they may have won had he not played. They've now lost 3 straight. Not only is it conceivable that Bediako being allowed to play changed the course of that game, it could be fairly reasonably argued that it changed the course of their season to some degree as well. Even if the ags get that win back through a forfeit, it doesn't do anything to remedy the poorer form they've been in since the loss, and i assume the committee would have an asterisk by a forfeited win as well when considering tourney seeding.

    I'm not certain where you get your information but it is off! First thing is the drug deal was set up in Silsbee. Jeremiah Grant, Bruce Newton, and Kyriq Wyatt. This was set up as a robbery by these 3 from Silsbee. Wyatt and Newton have been charged in this case and awaiting trial. Text messages showed these 3 set this robbery up. Luckily defense attorneys was able have phones checked and found out this was a setup. If not for good lawyer or police work, these 3 would be going to jail for murder. The 3 from Groves went to Silsbee to purchase the drugs. Grant sold the drugs to the driver Decuir. Once he had the money Grant pulled his gun on Decuir and demanded the weed back. When he didn't give it back, Grant pulled his gun and shot Decuir. He then turned his gun towards the back seat at Pfeffer and Pheffer shot him before Grant could shoot him. Emily wasn't pregnant nor has she ever owned a gun. Pheffer and Emily was at home asleep when Dequir called and asked Pheffer to ride with him to Silsbee and Emily went with her boyfriend. Where the group from groves made the mistake was hiding the weed and throwing Grant out of the front seat. Dequir was shot in the chest and was able to get out and help move Grant out onto the street. If they would have called the police right away, I don't believe Ranols or Pfeffer would have been charged with anything. That was clearly self defense and the jury felt that way too. Moving that body and drugs cost himself going to jail. Pfeffer more or less was found guilty of moving the body and drugs and having a gun during a drug deal. It seems like the other 2 that set this robbery up should have went to court at the time or before. Needless to say what in the hell was people going to Silsbee to buy drugs from someone they didn't know?

    Not sure where I got the info from at the time, as the post you're quoting is from 5 years ago. I said i got it from an article, but obviously I don't remember where the article was from at this point.

    I have voted for Democrats since I was able to vote, your theory is flawed. Trump sucks.

    but why? I voted for them some for a couple of cycles back before I had legitimate financial responsibilities. Now that I have real bills and children, I vote exclusively right, although I don't disagree with a lot of stuff that CB says on here.

    I have a Truth Social account and Trump did post this on his account last night. Can you explain why you think he would do that? It pops up at the 59 second mark. Community notes on X even corrected Terrance Williams on him saying it was fake. 

     

    I've never liked Trump. People would argue with me when I said that he doesn't care about America, he only cares about Trump. That's becoming more and more obvious. I voted for him because the alternative was so awful, and because I thought he did a decent job his first time in office, even if i felt his reasoning for doing so was self-serving. This time he had an easy setup to do a decent job again and keep the right in control for at least the next 8 years, and he's more worried about himself than making that happen. I haven't researched the Schumer tunnel deal, but either way it's bad. He's either holding money for crucial infrastructure hostage, or he's willing to blow $16B in tax dollars on an unnecessary project in order to try to get things named after him. I'm not sure which is worse. Not to mention he's saying even crazier and more offensive stuff than he did his first time in office, has managed to turn a mandate to fix immigration into something that's somehow helping the dems regain power (despite them acting like unhinged loons), and the economy has not been noticeably better than it was under Biden. 8 years of JD Vance doesn't seem like the foregone conclusion it did a year ago when everyone was absolutely sick of the woke left. Now the needle has swung back to people rallying around hating Trump again.

    You seem to be a perfect candidate for a rewards card. My brother travels a lot with his 3/4 ton truck and travel trailer. He uses a rewards CC to get 4% cash back on diesel purchases. He pays it off every month. The 4% is good for up to $8000 per year in purchases.  So in diesel alone, if he spends 8K a year, he gets $320 credit to his card per year.  It has lower percent's for other categories.  That sounded like an advertisement but it's not....lol

    When my Father started forgetting to pay bills, I stepped in and had all of his bills auto-charged to his Discover credit card.  I then set up his Discover to be auto-deducted from his checking account.  The only thing I had to do was review the CC statement to make sure all was correct. I believe he received about $500 back a year in credit card rewards.... 

    If you do it that way, the credit card pays you to use it. 

    The only down fall is it is VERY easy to spend more than you make.

    We put everything on our southwest card, then pay it off every month. On the rare occasion our spending outpaces our income for a month we have plenty in savings and still pay it off for the month. We haven't paid for a flight in years, and we fly a couple of times a year, on average.

    Why would they be ok with it. You guys celebrate people being attacked and executed. 

    you're delusional if you think they aren't. they're encouraging it. and you have a short memory if you're criticizing the right for "celebrating people being attacked and executed."

    9-1 regular season 

    depends on the qb, as others have stated. they have a couple of early games that they could lose if he struggles to find his rhythm at the varsity level. WOS will be a favorite against them, and if HF can find some linemen they're going to have the skill players to give them a tough game as well.

    Rah rah rah, sis soom bah. 
    How about letting the school district handle their own problem? Local control, remember? Used to be a hallmark of conservatism.

    schools don't handle criminal assaults. this isn't some fistfight between a couple of kids.
