There is a vaguely racist undertone to this thread.

You probably should adjust your system to your QB to some level, not just try to fit a QB into the pre existing system. Why recruit Waters if you just want to make him a option running QB? The guy can throw the ball very well and the offense should work with that.

GC,

Please answer the following questions and if any of the answers are no, then shut the eff up.

1.  Have you won two big 12 titles?
2.  Do you have rough ridin' castle named after you and your family?
3.  Do you have your own statue?

I guess all these threads shouldn't exist because last time I checked no one posting here was named LHC Bill Snyder.

Well, we have 10 other players who were very good with the old system and a QB on the bench who is more than capable of running it. The pass blocking Friday night was awful. Hubert was awful. This new system built around Waters just isn't working for the rest of the personnel.

I definitely think the QB was good enough to win the game. The fact is the defense needed ot make a stand on that last NDSU drive and didn't. That's why the Cats lost

It's a win-win for Obama. If congress says no, he can just say "welp, I tried but the people's representatives said no", and if they say yes, they can share the blame when things go terribly wrong and it escalates into a full blown war.

Yeah. It's funny how operating in the way your office is supposed to operate creates these win-win situations. Obama should try that more often.

Yeah it's almost like the system works pretty well when it used as intended

So Lazlo from Church of Lazlo is channeling his inner Patton Oswalt right now on twitter regarding Syria and chemical weapons. Saying things like chemical weapons don't kill people, people kill people; that chemical weapons should not be banned, and; that if everyone in Syria had chemical weapons everyone would be safe. It is pretty great, especially if you read his mentions because there are some people who don't get sarcasm or what he is doing.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: Time to raise the minimum wage again...

« on: August 21, 2013, 02:51:24 PM »

This issue is very real.  The minimum wage is so low that there's more incentive not to work than there is to work for minimum wage.  Low skilled workers should be able to work full-time and still live comfortably, but that's not the case anymore.  I actually kinda like Mitt Romney's idea to tie minimum wage to inflation.  At least that way it's factored into the cost of living.

If we are talking about incentive this has as much to do with the federal and state assistance as it does with min wage.

That's the point... welfare and government assistance are creating a wage well above the minimum wage.  There's no incentive to get a job if you're a low skilled worker who can only get hired at firms that pay minimum wage.

Guys, this probably doesn't need to be repeated, but Beems is not a sock, and not a troll. He actually believes this stuff. The problem isn't that welfare is too high... it's that the minimum wage is too low. 

It's a combination of both.  Welfare is too high and minimum wage is too low.  Nice straw man attempt, though.

The two are not mutually exclusive

They set a blood bank on fire. So, there's probably some symbolism there if you want to see it. Egypt's blood is burning.

Given your affiliation, where you posted this, and how you worded your post, I was totally expecting to see a KSU shirt or something. 

That said, that first pic would make a good page in one of those find it books.

Also, this is what I think of when trying to picture West Virginia.

yes, criminals like this idiot probably do feel like they're singled out by police.

To be fair I don't know about Morrison's past transgressions, if they are there, but he barked at a dog in a car.  Give me a break if you think that deserves an arrest.

sometimes being a complete dumbass is enough to deserve an arrest.

« on: July 23, 2013, 07:16:11 AM »

Don't know who has seen it, but here is the dashboard cam video of Antonio Morrison being arrested for barking at a police dog. http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2013/07/22/dashcam-video-of-antonio-morrison-arrest-for-barking-at-a-police-dog-is-as-stupid-as-youd-imagine/

I'm sorry but this is just stupid, no reason he should have been arrested.  Looking at the video it also seems like the Gainseville police went a bit overboard while arresting him.  3 officers, are you kidding me? Didn't really look like Morrison was giving them much trouble other than being pretty confused and shocked that he was being arrested. It's no wonder that you hear how young black males feel like they are singled out by police.
