It does really say it all about the current state of our so-called "news media" that the right-wing, Murdoch-owned WSJ has been more outspoken and aggressive in going after Trump than our "legacy mainstream news media" like the NY Times or CBS News or even CNN or MSNBC or ABC News.

This times 100x. Trump has made it clear since his first term that he isn't the president of all the people, he's just the president of those who voted for him and back him 100%. His MAGA followers may occasionally taunt liberals with "he's your president too" but they also know that he doesn't...

I suspect that more and more smaller colleges are going to fold in future years as the eligible pool of students shrinks, the number of donors for small colleges shrinks, and they exhaust their relatively small reserves of money. I don't see how a lot of these smaller colleges complete already...

Yep. Pope has wanted total control of UNC for many years, and he's finally gotten it via Roberts and a BOT and UNC System now packed with MAGAs appointed by his minions in the legislature, like Phil Berger. A New Yorker article way back in 2011 entitled "State for Sale" pretty much laid out...

If If he does then we're screwed for the rest of this season, imo, even if Caleb comes back.

One of the main purposes of high school civics classes for generations has been to encourage students to participate in civics events and activities, and that includes peaceful protests. If people like Paxton have their way we just need to do away with high school civics classes because it will...

Only the best people. Trump 2.0 is filled to the brim with the dregs of humanity.

Not surprisingly, most of the comments and replies to his remarks are supportive - "everybody talked like this 20 or 30 years ago, I miss it", "bro is just telling the truth", "Liberals are fine with Olympic athletes talking shit about Trump and America, but talking shit about gays and trans...

Rufo is a flat-out white supremacist and homophobe, but he's far more clever and social media savvy than many of his MAGA contemporaries. He's very aggressive in going after anyone who criticizes him on social media and he doesn't hesitate to threaten lawsuits unless people or news media sites...

I hope. But given how our first game against them ended with them going on that huge run I'm not taking anything for granted. Without Caleb and Henri I think no game is an easy or certain win, even at home. And even with Caleb and Henri we've struggled in some games where we should have done...

Roy always made beating State a priority every single year, and beating them clearly gave him a great deal of pleasure. And no doubt much of that came from the fact that he was old enough to remember when State was a major rival and not mostly an afterthought program with no national relevance...

Oh, yeah. They are decent but also very flawed, and they'll suffer some more lolstate losses like the ones to Louisville and Miami. And I doubt they'll get very far in the NCAA tourney either. But they beat us, so it's fire up the tractors for a parade and give Wade an extension time.

State is a decent team this season and we're playing them on their court without two of our top players and scorers, and they're a traditional rival. So I don't agree that this was likely a fifty-fifty type game. Yeah, we played awful, but I actually don't think we're all that good without Caleb...

They'll probably lose their next game, it often happens with them. But they beat us so that's all that will matter for many of them for the rest of the season.

I disagree, without those two we're an average team, and State was always going to be fired up to blow us out, as this was Wade's first game against us and he no doubt wanted to make a statement. And they had the home court advantage. This State team isn't horrible, and if they're playing well...
