Illinois cleared their guy, Mihailo Petrovic, like two days ago. played in the same league as Luka.

famous for saying what he means, that man

as every conservative poster ever has, you've DARVO'd the absolute shit out of this exchange. what do your own delusions about Mamdani's supposed terrorist sympathies have to do with his accurate observation from two years ago that the IDF trains the NYPD?

me: maybe he's actually talking about the IDF! you: yes, possibly. but then what's the connection between the NYPD and American capital? me: y'know, the noted, SCOTUS-defended, police prioritization of protecting capital and property over people. you: no, actually, "capital" means Jews! that...

a) if that was your primary exception, then why bring up "the Jooooooooos" at all? b) plenty of people believe, with reason to do so, that police prioritize the protection of capital and capitalist interests over that of common people.

that common shorthand for "Jews," "the IDF." Not "Israel," "the IDF." Surely he couldn't have been talking about the well-documented phenomenon of US police forces, including the NYPD, going to Israel and being trained on surveillance, crowd control, and individual repression techniques by the...

i think this is massively jumping the gun of optimism. "i see reason to give year 2" is a reasonable statement. moving all the way from that to "they should get year 2" is ludicrous. Lombardi in particular needs to go. he's done nothing to prove he should even be on staff, let alone the highest...

like somebody else said, it's not like he's ever coached DL before. the DL hasn't been actively bad; it's not like i'm saying he's Tim Cross - but i don't have high expectations for him either and it's yet another example of how poorly and thoughtlessly this staff was constructed.

he's hated by fans of just about every school he's worked for since his success with ND, comparable to how most people see Gene Chizik atp. the corny interview stuff wouldn't matter if he'd been good at his job for more than a year in the last decade-plus. from 2014-2016, he compiled the worst...

there's a much more recent, even ongoing, attempt to kill UNC athletics from right inside the KFC that the rest of us are reacting to. and bob diaco, even before getting hired here, was the biggest joke in college football.

guys like McMichael, Ritzie, Dalton, and to a lesser extent Gainer (though he was injured most of his year at UNC) got their cup of coffee in the NFL due to athletic traits, not necessarily because they were good football players. McMichael has spent time with three different teams the past...

maybe i'm misunderstanding your post but to say that Howell, Tomon Fox, Richards, Ezeudu, Duck, Downs, and Rucker "weren't all that impactful at UNC" is absolutely bonkers.

by moving the goalposts from "it didn't happen" to "it maybe happened but isn't a big deal," you're engaging in bad faith.

UCF is 58th in SP+, Cal is 78th. they're worse than UCF by a measure and that hot start looks like an anomaly caused by a freshman QB that opponents weren't prepared for. SDSU and Duke are both pretty mediocre teams.

chris rock stopped telling that joke exactly because he got uncomfortable with white people reproducing it, IIRC. it was supposed to be an internal critique and it became a vehicle for just reproducing racism - there's a big difference between a black person encouraging another to rise above...
