That was a dumb decision by Jeff Franklin. He should have taken the field goal.

They are moving the football with ease now against Harbaugh's defense and getting chunk plays. Harbaugh's teams can't adjust to up tempo offenses.

Poor play calling and an undisciplined start to the game.

First offensive snap and a fall start. Great start so far.

LOL fake punt for a first down conversion. Harbaugh turning into a pumpkin early today I see, usually he waits until you second half to blow it. I hope we lose out and finally fire this bum.

Picking up first downs with ease, what's old in new. Finkel is Einhorn, Einhorn is Finkel. McDonald is Brown, Brown is McDonald.

We have zero chance of winning today. Harbaugh is the worst big game coach in college football and will surely find a way to lose since this is a big game.

Well I predicted this would be a game they could win in the other thread given how poorly Pittsburgh was playing at the time. I no longer predict that win now that Pittsburgh has since won 4 straight games. Lions are probably going to get rolled on Sunday.

Remember when many on the right mocked David Hogg and students after the Parkland school shooting. Many of these same people are now defending this foolish kid.

I'm reading nothing exciting, just about the state of Working Class America from the Economic Policy Institute think tank. https://www.epi.org/research/state-of-working-america/

The days of George Will, William F. Buckley, Bob Dole, George H.W. Bush, and the thoughtful conservatives are over and done. Hell, the days of yearning for Ronald Reagan are over because no one can outshine The Dear Leader Trump. The Republican Party is now reducing itself to tax cuts for the rich, grievance politics, culture wars, and conspiracy theories about vaccines and election fraud. The MTG and Trump wing of the party will be the majority of their base and their elected leaders in D.C. over the next several years. What keeps them relevant is Democrats own bumbling, a lack of a clear message to sell nationally to the American people, being framed as anti-public safety and anti-American, an uncharismatic figure leading it at the top, and inflation hurting the economy. If George H.W. Bush, Mitt Romney or Bob Dole ran in a GOP primary today they wouldn't get 20% of the vote combined. The right has been radicalized for at least a generation, possibly more. Not only have baby boomers on the right been radicalized but so have their Gen X'er children who are between 43-55 years old. We have to deal with a decade of these people taking political power, holding office, and being the dominate voting block before Millennials and Gen Z become a strong enough force that they can overcome Boomers and Gen X'ers on the right. God help us all if Millennials and Gen Z start becoming more right wing or get hijacked by nationalism. With the rise of radicalized Gen X'ers you are going to see candidates like MTG, Ron DeSanits, Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley be at the forefront of their national politics and be the top contenders for their Presidential nominee.

MTG would be whistling Dixie if she ran in a Republican Presidential Primary, right through to the finish line where she would win. If Trump didn't run in 2024 and endorsed MTG, she'd be the winner of that primary. And she'd have a base of at very least 40% to start off with right off the bat and could expand it out from there.

We don't elect people by popularity though, so he didn't lose in the end. I wouldn't write off MTG being able to win the Electoral College. I think she could give Democrats a run for it. We live in an era where we can't take anything for granted. I took Trump for granted in 2016, still voted for Hillary in the very end, and I'm not doing that again.

We thought that about Trump didn't we.

Hillary had to deal with accusations of running a sex ring out of a pizza shop and the right ate that up hook, line, and sinker. She also had to deal with accusations that she had her personal attorney Vince Foster clipped.

Marjorie Taylor Greene enjoys being an asshole, but she only gets away with it because she isn't a liberal woman or woman of color. I think people like AOC, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, and Rashida embrace their fighting nature, but could never get away with it because of the racist and xenophobic (and Islamophobic in Rashida's case) backlash they would face.

Right, and she was also allowed to be a dunce.

I'll never understand how the BS about her heritage would be a bigger story than a President who mocks disabled people and says he moves on a married woman and did try to f*** her. But such is the political and media climate we live in.

Ask not what Big Bird can do for you, ask what you can do for Big Bird!

Many, not all, of the same people that get worked up over CRT would have no problem in their child came home and told them that their teacher said evolution was a hoax, Darwin was an idiot, or that man walked side-by-side and exist with the dinosaurs. Just look at the BS some on the Christian right believe . . . https://creationmuseum.org/dinosaurs-dragons/live-with-humans/ Gallup: 40% of Americans believe in Creationism Those 40% are likely a large percentage of the people that show up to school board meetings and bitch about masks or CRT or Dr. Seuss or Harry Potter being witchcraft or whatever issue of the month I'm supposed to be riled up about.

They got that worked up for CRT that isn't taught in schools and "canceling" Dr. Seuss. I expect nothing less.

The issue has become hyper partisan and polarized. So I think some in the activist community for blacks, POC progressives and white progressives see people on the right giving atta boys to the cop who shot Mike Brown or George Zimmerman for shooting Trayvon Martin or the cop who kneeled on George Floyd's neck. Some on the right see it out of the lens of racisms and see these black boys and men as thugs who had it coming. So in response to that, and the fact that so many of these cops and individuals get off, some on the left and in the activist community look at that and wonder how you can have nuance with those types of people. How are you supposed to sit quietly when there appears to be two systems of justice, one for white people and another for persons of color. So they then respond with their own extremes, like defunding the police or tweets about how cops are racist and policing can't be reformed, but needs to be abolished.

I bet you were ok when Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey did it over lying about a BJ. By the way, the same Newt Gingrich who cheated on his wife and slept around while in office.

I don't subscribe to the Athletic. Where are the OSU receivers, Olave and Wilson at?
