Malik is fast. Very fast.

What the heck??? [Hidden Content]

TD Porter! Sam looks great. 21-17 Horns

ROACH BOMB UTF!

Great play call. Sam to Warren 17-14.

I still love him. Porter with his second TD of the day, but first that counted. 10-7 K St.

Elliott may have just killed Ertz

And kick it from the 3

Why on earth is Warren not in on goal line situations?

But this D is nasty

Not a good start. Sam had him open. Well underthrown INT

I would guess and hope never.

I have no doubt about the first sentence. My guess as to the second sentence is they took offense to some of their brethren being called SOBs in a tweet. In fact, post game interviews support that, as well as the league-wide show. Heck, the NFLDPA has trouble getting that kind of solidarity during union negotiations.

Iowa State would beat poooor aggy this year. Pretty sure they’re much better than Nicholls St or U La La. As for our “little conference”, obviously we upgraded with TCU. Everyone knows that but aggy. But the SEC got what it wanted in a doormat with recruiting inroads into Texas.

Cough cough

Mine too. Never been to a game in Nashville though. My guess is the atmosphere isn’t great. But in terms of a CFB town, give me a road trip to Nashville over Starkville, Tuscaloosa or CS.

That is a perspective and/or conclusion many have. And I don’t think anyone but each individual player knows the actual answer. BUT I also don’t think it’s logically possible that every player who knelt did it for the same reason/cause. Not trying to be cynical

Absolutely. Precisely what I meant by the last sentence of my post you quoted, although I did a poor job of spelling it out.

Your example is a more extreme example (I think) of my ISIS example. It’s a valid argument. Not sure this is security issue though. And again, technically any law that is in contravention of a federal can be argued to be outside a State’s rights.

Pretty impressive showing for the Bulldogs against a previously unbeaten (5-0) Lions squad.

I started reading up on this after your original post about his gambling, etc. REB will tell you I HATE conspiracy theories. But like you, things just don’t add up. The massive gambling, the planes. I convinced myself there is more to this story. As baddog said, I need it to “make sense” to me. I hope we are told enough that it does at some point, but eventually I stopped reading because these situations make me nuts.

Let’s assume it’s a difficult decision. I can’t say that it was for Kaepernick because I don’t know him and certainly not his convictions. I know what he says and can choose to take him at his word or not. For me personally, to do something so extreme for a “cause” would have been exceedingly difficult. I can imagine taking this particular action in any scenario that exists today, but that’s my belief system and views. But if it IS something you struggle with, it is completely rational and logical to not expect it to happen the moment you feel “injustice.” It might be something you contemplate, feel strongly about, but struggle finding the “courage.” I am not labeling Kap or anyone doing this as courageous because only they know their hearts and true motives. But I would offer an example that would illustrate what I am trying to say. Many people have been raised in a Christian church. They might be their every Sunday, or even every time the “doors are open.” They have listened to 100s of sermons, and figured out at some point what they believe they should do. But for many people, it was years and years before they truly had a conversion experience where they”became a Christian,” as believers in Bible-based denominations believe. I suppose the same question you ask would apply to them. And before I get lambasted, I am NOT comparing the NFL situation with Christianity! Just offering an example of a delayed demonstration of conviction.

Serious question (it’s a shame I have to preface with that - and that is not a slam on the “right” on this board, applies just as much if not more to “left” posters who like to “troll”): I don’t like labels in any form or fashion because I agree and identify with certain principles that are generally identified with one “side” or the other. But one of the tenets of the GOP that I wholeheartedly agree with is “state’s rights.” Even if it happens to be counterintuitive to what I believe is good for the country. I am a proud Texan, love my state, but sometimes disagree with our State’s laws. But we live in a democracy and I will honor and respect those laws, even though I might philosophically disagree. I choose to live here and wouldn’t have it any other way. So if California chooses to be a sanctuary state, is that not their right? I realize a counter-argument is compromising the security of our country as a whole (e.g., a state offering sanctuary to ISIS members). But to narrow, if they want to offer sanctuary to undocumented Mexicans, should they not have that right? Marijuana is now “legal” in over half the states. Some of which have made it legal recreationally, even though it is still illegal under federal law. So I’m not sure saying California passed an illegal law is unique, although maybe technically true. Of course, the federal government can always respond to a renegade State with its wallet, but that’s another discussion.

Forgot Knoxville. Haven’t been to a game there but they are up there by all accounts in CFB’s Best gamedays. Would guess they still trail the Cajuns.

Woo hoo! Gainesville! Been there, done that. Was okay but the town sucks (by Florida standards. Best two towns by far in SEC are Nashville and Athens. Oxford isn’t bad either. But the always important road trips are the most important thing. Been to Columbus and South Bend. Both better in terms of CFB than anything in the SEC (although - gulp - LSU would be the best atmosphere and is close). But I ramble. I’m sure you are glad you don’t have to go to Lubbock anymore since they kicked your arse on a regular basis before you guys ran to be the recruiting b!t€h of the SEC.
