Kansas State Football / Re: Future schedule update...
« on: January 13, 2021, 01:40:02 PM »
Sigh, I guess I "get" it, but we keep putting so much money into our home stade/Manhattan and here we decide to not use it or give it back to the community. We haven't played 7 home games in like forever, and everything could use the boost after last year. Just, kinda pissed about it.

Twitter libs. People think the cover is too casual for someone who is the VPOTUS. Apparently, she didn't want this photo for the cover, but it isn't, it was a digital cover. People are surmising that Anna Wintour is racist and her not listing to Kamala's people is another thing indicating this. They also think that Annie Leibovitz doesn't know how to properly shoot black people, which is accurate.
I had to look these people up, which tells me this thing is way too down the rabbit hole and a lot of mostly fake outrage, which probably bad on me, didn't know Annie Liebovitz was so bad at photographing black people but there you have it. Moving on.

Having Fletcher back is solid, agreed it's be great to get a stud transfer, but we gotta take everything we get at that position.

It's not truly going to be fixed until a) Saban retires/quits and/or b) there is some mechanism beyond just recruiting (and everything that means) to get kids to go to certain schools. College (all college sports really) is just so head coach success driven vs like, the NFL, where most talent is obv done via the draft, and trades, waivers, etc allow teams to supplement over time. While it can obviously be messed up by GMs and the front office, you at least know that come next year if you had a shitty year you got the first crack at the best guys next year.
I am a staunch believer in the whole 8 team (5 P5 confy champs, 1 top G5, and 2 at larges) to make it more interesting (and fair) but that still won't fix the Alabama "problem". They'd still get in, run all over most teams, and while it'd be better cause hey, more teams technically have that shot, it won't happen that often.
Dynasties rise and fall, and quite honestly we kind of live in a very unipolar age where it's basically Alabama, sometimes Clemson, rarely tOSU, and then a few powers in a conference that get in and that's it. I'm sure in the 60s/70s it would've felt very similar with UCLA and Wooden doing that in basketball (or NDSU down in FCS now), and now UCLA is basically irrelevant in most seasons of the game, it happens.
Other examples would be like UConn in women's basketball, Penn St on volleyball, etc. Heck, Tennessee women's basketball used to be basically the Clemson to UConn's Bama and after Pat Summit passed now look at them, also basically irrelevant, or at least no where near the success when Pat was there.
I think Saban will ultimately go down as an often imitated, rarely achieved level of success that I think will be very very hard for other schools to lock in. When he exists the stage many more teams will rise and fill the gap.
I do agree it seems like the CFP playoff seems kinda irrelevant, a party for only certain types. I don't think I've watched a down in nearly 3 years of any playoff game.

« on: January 11, 2021, 10:47:37 AM »Should people not be allowed to influence private businesses? What is your solution here if you don’t want the government to impose regulations?The leaders of your movement proposed regulation and a break up precisely because they determined those companies were too powerful.
Now your movement is saddled up with the same companies demanding they exercise even more power in the marketplace.
First recognize that duplicity and we can continue.
It's most hilarious your movement wants so much free market crap, and then when it happens to you, now it's tyranny. You created the mess and allowed them to be able to do it, people are pointing and laughing at it making it choices, no need to cozy up to crap, just following the rules you wanted in place

« on: January 08, 2021, 01:37:18 PM »My biggest takeaway from all of this is that federal dollars really need to be spent to destigmatize and provide access to mental health services. It also might really be time to get rid of social media. These are mostly fully functional people who really need to get help.
Agree with the social media thing. Federal dollars have been getting pumped to mental health organizations all over rural America. The problem is many don't know the $$ is there so they do not apply for it, and others just have no idea how to use it.
Yeah, I'm fine if all social media went away too
