It was unlikely before but now basically impossible. Adding Texas and Oklahoma plus eliminating divisions basically sealed that deal.
Its pretty crazy how good we were even given the tough competition at the time. 2 or 3 years we played Georgia for control of the east. Unfortunately they were at their absolute best and were winning national titles.
Id love to get back there. Given our nil and the competition, I just don't see it happening.
Just look at the money spent. The top of the big ten and notre dame are spending insane money. Miami isnt far behind.
It isnt just players. Its coaches and facilities too. When schools are paying more than 3 mil per year for coordinators, its out of control.
Texas and texas a&m are the only sec schools with the money to compete.
Until this mess gets fixed, thats just how it will be. There might be an injury here and there that changes things, but for the most part its going to be a big ten, nd, Miami, or texas school winning it all.
It’s odd that the county courthouse would be seen as a refuge for those who break the law. The Supremacy Clause probably plays a role here. Likewise, the sovereignty of the United States informs that no state or local judge can order the Untied States to do or stop doing anything. This order is null and void on its face.
he was a cool dude too. His jersey had ripped during the game and he gave me a piece of it.
Yes! I want in on that action ... cracks knuckles ...
And at the Mall St. Matthews too. They're still a staple in a lot of malls. Surprised they don't have an age limit on who can enter. Half the stuff in there isn't for the youngin's to see.
Of course the Muslims want "equality and respect" because once they get that, they have you right where they want you, ripe for falling in line with their agenda to destroy you.
If I'm not mistaken Spencer's is the oldest tenant at the Mall St. Matthews. The mall opened in 1962 and Spencer's had to be there in the 60s.
Saw nestle will cut 16k jobs due to automation. Trump really needs to confront this. Not just for politics, but for the future of America.
If something isnt done, in 10-15 years there will be barely any jobs for humans.

Portland city council members codified sanctuary city status. They look just like I imagined.
Not a Bengals fan, but I do play a little fantasy football. I will say that as long as Chase is with Cincy, that Tee Higgins should demand a trade to a team where he could be the featured wideout. He's too good to be playing second fiddle.
I’m old and tired and my knees hurting. Do you mind if we wait until next week to fight?
Which to an extent proves my point that IU isn't all that much easier to win at. Maybe their Basketball team sucking rocks for an extended period of time now has eased that up some, but to me, they faced a lot of the same hurdles we did. and their football team had Vandy levels of fan support for a loooong time. I used to go to the games in Bloomington back when we used to play them. Went to several, as well as several Vandy road games. The UK crowd was generally bigger at both venues.
Meanwhile, back in the real world.
Another stupid No Kings rally tomorrow.
At some point people need to realize that if we actually had a King, they would not be allowed to have this rally.
The Left have to be the biggest dumbasses in the world.

I seriously don't think NIL is as much of an issue as one thinks. We just paid $22 mil (supposedly) for a basketball team. Now a lot can be debated on that in terms of priorities and where and how much money is directed to Basketball vs. Football. Everyone has their opinions, many speak as though there are certainties in the matter that we will never compete from a football standpoint. Personally, I think there's a lot to it. From a basketball perspective, we want and need that Championship #9. Pope is new and they are pumping the resources his direction in order to do just that. When we win #9, the detractors will say we bought the championship. That's the reality of college athletics these days though, Ohio St. spent a crap ton on NIL to win their championship in football last year and look poised to repeat. Anywho, not to get off on a tangent, but I think the amount being directed to Basketball at this point, is in part, a back door effort, to push Stoops out, and that whenever we get a fresh replacement in here and renewed enthusiasm towards the football program, we will see some of those resources shift back towards football. It may be a cyclical thing. Win a basketball championship to calm the basketball base for a couple of years then push resources to football for a bit.
There's a lot happening in college sports these days. The haves will still get the best players, but they won't be stockpiling them like they used to. Players are no longer content to sit and wait three years at a place like Bama or UGA. It's why those teams aren't nearly as deep as they used to be. So slowly but surely the portal and NIL will spread the talent out and create more parity. According to this site, we had the 13th ranked portal class and 5th best class in the SEC, so we did something right in terms of getting some guys in here, now getting them coached up and playing to that level has been another story.
So until I'm proven otherwise, I'm not going to play the woe is us game and say we will never be able to compete. We may have to be like a small market MLB club that builds for a 2-3 year run at the playoffs then has a selloff for a few years before doing it all again, but I don't think resources and NIL are as much of an issue as some are led to believe.
Someone needs to ask our own government officials that. People in Europe need to be asking it too.
How senior is senior? In the early 70s I was already 30 years old and my Tang days had passed. You must be a kid
CNN had their usual dumb lineup of women claiming MAGA is going to be out there picking fights with the protesters…..So Don’t Take The Bait!! Stay away from the Haters.
Wouldn't doubt it, they opened a bunch of stores in the early to mid 60's. JC Penney Is the oldest anchor tenant and has been there since the 60's as well.
1. I'm glad you weren't around when I was a kid, going into Spencer's to look at the posters of women with naked boobs.
2. When we DID go in there, back in the day, I seem to recall the employees "sort of" keeping an eyeball on kids (not always very effectively) to try and keep them away from the more adult items.
also, reading "protestors dragged off and arrested" is a great way to start the morning.
How so?
I think the actual quote is "hoisted with his own petard"* but was later paraphrased by Daffy Duck, IIRC as "hoisted BY my own petard."
I'm always thirsty for knowledge though, so maybe we can get to the bottom of it.

Also - yes, you're right about it not being wildcatdon, but rather wildcatdonf. Good call. Wasn't his avatar a picture of him, driving generic/windowless van. Some folks used to jokingly refer to is as a pedo mobile etc. Which was stupid, because he was/is salt of the earth.

I was born in '69 I know you're a few years older, but can't be by that much. We did the same thing when dropped off at the mall.
The funny thing about Spencer's, when you're THAT young, is that I probably didn't even UNDERSTAND a lot of the adult novelty items etc. at the time.

I would have thought he would be posting in the D League if it was actually the legend that was wildcatdonf.
Notice they only do these things in the city because they know county folk will run their dumb asses over.
It is completely permissible in Islam for Muslims to lie when advancing or protecting Islam. This here shouldn’t be a surprise to those in NYC, but it will be.
You didn't do your research. This is worldwide and 12K of this is white collar.
But to your point about automation....we did this to ourselves, and are doing it again w/ AI.
It was a cnn headline and i refused to give them a click. That is my fault.
In the end, uts 16k jobs lost. Between ai and robotics, there wont be jobs left in 15 years. This needs addressed today. It cant wait.
I honestly believe we are heading to a future of AI leading to UBI and a we will also live in a giant nanny state via technology with Peter Thiel’s company. Digital currency will be forced on us.
