See the thing is, Bama, you can do basketball on grass and run around and throw it and win games that way. But when you come up against these traditional football powers that are built along both lines of scrimmage, ya gotta be able to run the ball and stop the run. Lesson learned, I guess.

Never tried cooking collards during a Bama game. It’s worth a shot, right?

I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

Around this time last year I got ... chided? upbraided? yelled at? excoriated? for saying Tech didn't worry me. Lesson learned with five minutes to go in the first quarter and plenty of opportunities to relearn it in the cold. BK is a FFC and runs a competent operation.

Since I knew Kirby could handle Ole Miss and Auburn on his own, I left the real Athens, where them Dawgs are, and went to the other one, with the round footballs. And there I found the Surrender Cobra, Archaic Greek edition. @hollyanderson.bsky.social is quite the classicist as it turns out. 750 BC

I reckon he did.
Pretty good. Loved what Gunner added as a number in the run game. Only question is whether he has that Stetson “grip it and rip it” gear in the passing game when you need to catch up

It’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future, but this was pretty prescient.
I continue to think people are inverting their predictions on LSU. The defense is going to be good. Possibly really good. The offense will likely be what holds them back.
NEW SUBSCRIBER SHOW out w/ @stevengodfrey.bsky.social.
It's the 2025 Time Capsule Show. I.e. it's the show where we make a bunch of predictions and then bury them. We will dig them up in January and see how we did.

Honestly, this is my #1 objection to yesterday’s decision. SCOTUS had many, many opportunities to curb universal injunctions against the Biden administration. For four years, it refused. Then, almost as soon as Trump returned to office, it changed the rules to take away universal injunctions. Why?
I’m curious why you think the six justices in the CASA majority allowed multiple universal injunctions against the Biden administration to stand, then abolished universal injunctions within six months of Trump’s return to office

Pure speculation, but possible that the admin's attack on the Library of Congress previews similar move against the Government Accountability Office (GAO)--also a leg branch agency w/ head (Comptroller General) appointed by WH. GAO has been more of a thorn in Trump's side, and a likely DOGE target.

Trump rightly said only "a stupid person" would turn down the free Qatari jet, but turning it into Air Force One for a few years of service isn't realistic.

The crudeness of the message to one side, much more serious is that the Library of Congress is not part of the executive branch, or even an independent agency. What’s next, will Trump purport to fire Senator Warnock’s legislative director?
1/2 Just-dismissed Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has a PhD from U Chicago, is in numerous scholarly societies, has wide acclaim. She is also first African-American to lead LoC.
The dismissal note did not say "Dear Dr. Hayden" or "Dear Madame Librarian" or even "Dear Carla."
