Freep is trying to stir the pot on Justice Haynes not playing. Ah well. Situation normal.

and yet it appears he endorses the move per his use of Elon Musk's app.

Very interesting commentary on Biff Poggi going rogue. Hmmm...

The thing that offends me about all of the Michigan talent is that its possible its Paramount/Ellison/Emirati/Saudi money and part of the unconscionable stink of stuff that belongs in the political forum. But If our tiny nation state of Michigan is going to survive in this chaos, then we'd better build our own nuclear weapons by hook or by crook.

More on the topic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_100,000 This had a very Orwellian or even Oliver Cromwellian name "New Standards Men" because they were brought in under a "new standard" which was very low. Mcnamara planned to have them educated and brought up to speed. Cromwell's contribution to pop music is the name "New Model Army" for his English Civil War forces which adapted new training and organization to create a professional force of long-service units rather than seasonal militias.

Woah Nelly! Utah led the nation in rushing yards? I'm down with that. Also the OL coach is a good one. Do what you can to keep Newsome and him and Alford?

Guy who is coming is a fellow named Jay Hill who was the "new DC" i'm guessing?

Looks like they will get the DC from Utah. Tony Alford (responsible for recruiting Hiter) is staying and he was a major "get" and they are sending Whit to Orlando to work the roster to get players to stay with the program.

There is a horrible history there with McNamara. The studies show that a cadre of lower than average IQ (draftees ?) during the Vietnam War that he authorized to be inducted we’re causing more casualties per unit because they would blow cover, fail to understand basic field operations, get lost, etc.

Having my mentally handicapped brother in the house has reminded me how simple a lot of fan experiences are. The QB is either unassailable or the worst jerk who ever jerked. Coach either is great and just needs more time to bring in his people or a terrible person. He was literally shouting at the top of his lungs at the TV while a bunch of normie DC people were in the house last night. It was difficult.

By the way...thread title is the: punctuation and syntax version of super colon blow cereal.

ND coaches can dispense life and death without repercussions because God's will.

Sam Webb confirms the talks are on track with Whit.

Do not mess this up and accidentally hire Tiger beat writer Jason Beck.

Hopefully they are over-correcting with a person who won't sleep around on his wife with a staffer who he subsequently doubles her/his salary, then gets into a show down with police over a threat to murder someone and kill himself.

When we get needy for your services we will form scoliosis battalions. Probably won't get there until later in the war.

Per Sam Webb:

Long overdue considering the chaos in the program and with the AD.

This is not the Wayne Fontes Lions. When the current Lions had a functional OL this team imposed itself on even great teams. Not being able to do that was a huge problem. I agree that the amount of time our DBs spend in "panic trail" because of the high use of man might contribute to injuries. Not sure how we fix that unless we are lucky enough to get an effective pass rushing DT somehow this offseason.

Dislike that the sponsors are bad faith actors. In general, definitely a good idea to teach this. The crazed gunstrokes might benefit from some fear of the objects of their love. I'm also approving as a national security dweeb. Firearm familiarity is a net positive for those entering basic military training. They do this in most countries with large military forces and the US military has to overcome a lot of challenges with those suburban types like me who come onboard learning how to shoot. In my case, it was no issue because i had grown up with some small experience and a healthy fear of these things. In others i observed, it was fear of the noise and ignorance of the mechanisms that caused them to have to do remedial training.
