“The Daily Nebraskan found in the leaked spreadsheet that every program eliminated appeared to be profitable…every program that the chancellor proposed eliminating generated more money from tuition dollars than the department costs to run”

Gonna need Hunter Yurachek to (fail to) explain why BYU's loss yesterday affected their ranking, but Alabama's loss yesterday didn't.

This is the worst selection committee we've ever had.
Cannot believe Alabama didn't even drop one spot after the SEC title game blowout. Cannot believe they waited until the final reveal to flip Miami-ND. Could have done it at ANY point.

I keep coming back to this:
Notre Dame's two losses were by a combined four points. Their most recent loss was on September 14th.
Alabama lost by 21 yesterday.

Impeachable Act of the Day
Trump admitted that he pardoned corrupt Democrat Cuellar so that Cuellar wouldn't run for reelection as a Dem. Cuellar is running as a Dem anyway and Trump is fuming about his "lack of loyalty."

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Setting up for the latter, extremely predictable scenario here.
If BYU loses and Bama wins, they'll say "losing a conf title game can't hurt you" and just keep BYU at 11 to avoid H2H. If both lose, they'll say "OK fine losing your conf title game can hurt" and then drop BYU to 12 and Bama to 10 to avoid H2H. They want Bama and ND and will get them if they can.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose
