I was looking at the numbers this morning, and Trump obviously gained black voters, primarily men. More striking to me is he is going to end up with less votes than he did when he lost in 2020. Tin hat theories aside (although I’m sure that won’t stop some of you from posting them, it’s too engrained just as some claim TDS is on the opposite side - I think both sides are equally goofy), my suspicion is a decent percentage of the voters missing were men of color. And this is my question, especially to Big girl and any of other posters of color: is it the woman thing with Harris or was it just that she was seen as a weak candidate? (In point of fact, exit polling showed neither candidate was viewed favorably by the majority of the voters - what a shocker). I ask this because it’s been my experience (and it’s not a limited experience and involves men of all ages), black men in general are more homophobic than white men. To be fair, maybe they are just more vocal about it (or less afraid to vocalize it) but it seems to me to be that way by a decent margin. Has that also been your experiences? And if that is indeed true, are they also more resistant to a woman being in the ultimate position of power? I ask these questions because I’m genuinely curious and honestly don’t mind asking questions that might seem taboo, especially the older I get. Anyway, if this offends anyone, I guess I cared less about that than my desire to gain some understanding in these areas. The numbers being released have just really piqued my curiosity.

I have a feeling you probably agree but I trust Vegas odds way more than any polls.

At least they didn’t rob him twice…

It’s also Florida, man. And I’m sure Georgia prefers these types of assaults vs. their whiny coach on the opposing team’s qb.

I’ve been saying they need to give that man 10 yrs/$150M.

At least you bet on both teams from that state. Lot of sharp money on the other one.

Now onside kick if Beamer

Sounds like EC has seen enough of Manning 😂

Exhibition loss to DII LSU Alexandria last night, 83-80. Their best returning player, Hamilton, only played 10 minutes and arguably their best scorer, BB Knight didn’t play at all. Haven’t seen the new players yet and they seemed to rely heavily on two of the juco transfer guards. I will say I did see a postseason LSU-A game last year and the Natt kid who hit the game winner last night would be an all-conference type player in the SLC. But you never want to lose to a lower division school, even in an exhibition game, especially at home, especially leading by 9 at half. Cards put up 51 in the first half, but when the stop falling, just don’t have the defense to rely upon and struggle keeping people from getting to the basket. Having said all that, saw McNeese in a controlled scrimmage. They are even better than last year and without a tremendously off game, won’t be tested in that league. High mid-major roster in a low major league.

Yes 😂

The Aggies really hit ‘em with Callin’ Baton Rouge after dog walking them last night? Cold blooded Ags 😂 and I’m here for it..

No. Weigman was. He replaced him with this guy once and then brought Weigman back.

Very nice. I don’t think Elko needs to give any more thought to the QB situation.

Agreed. Should have been a game closer to the spread without all the sloppy penalties. That stuff could cost you a game against a better team (and made this one uncomfortable). But that is a scrappy team and I really like Pavia. A lot of guts.

Agreed. Easy targeting call. On the QB no less. However, not sure I’ve seen a head ref throw more flags than this one. He loves camera time. He sounds like Kermit with a lisp too. You would think he would want to talk as little as possible on national tv.

Two SETX rivalry games tonight. One arguably the biggest rivalry in the state. One game thread is replete with whining from both sides about officiating (and who benefitted more from bad calls). The other about which team made more plays, and the fans of the team who came up short giving kudos to the team who got the W. It’s almost like one game involved two teams who “have been there before.” No doubt great rivalries are fueled by two schools whose teams consistently leave it all on the field. But honestly it’s the fans who are the constant, year after year. And IMO, with all due respect to Permian- Lee (which is probably the second best I’ve personally witnessed), NO ONE does it better than you mid county folk. Congrats to the Bulldogs - great win in a game that seems to spit out classic after classic.

Boys - Cotton Robinson Girls - RC Hyden

How did we find ourselves in this league of dumb dumbs?

Well, luckily our little sister voted us in, just like she was told too. We ‘preciate you goofy little gomers more than you know!

They’re almost as bad as Missouri. How are the Tigers still ranked? They are awful.

Injury report for the big game

54% of betting public on Texas but 80% of the momey. The sharps love Texas this year. Sure wish the overall public percentage was flipped though.

The line last week was begging the general public to take OU, but the sharp money was obviously on Texas as that line continued to rise. Let’s hope this week is more of the same.

It’s so bad they are just letting them tackle our pass rushers now 😂😂
