Quote from: WellsstreetWanderer on Today at 12:42:56 PMWell if states can't clean voter lists of people who were born in the 19th century or who vote from vacant lots and mail box stores something ought to be tried

Instead of these moronic arguments you throw out there, why can't you be man enough to admit that you just want our form of government overthrown by the fascists?

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 04:35:18 PMBYU has more money than all of those schools.

The argument is Schertz isn't going to look to bolt to a high major at the first opportunity because SLU is providing him the money, facilities, and resources to be a power in the A10. He can choose where he wants to go instead of thinking he has to make a jump to the first P4 school that offers him.

But he's going to get good high majors to offer him, and he'd be a fool not to jump at that.  They can be an A10 power all they want.  The A10 is being left in the dust just like everyone else outside of the football conferences.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 04:16:43 PMThat was simultaneously awesome and a total dirt bag move.  For 1 game? I say worth it. 

Reminiscent of Randall Simon vs Italian Sausage.

As far as the Cavs trade?  I'm not a fan of Harden, but Garland hasn't been close to the same player since his toe injury.  He's also a better pick and roll player so he should ostensibly help Mobley.  I think it's probably a net positive, but when it counts I expect Harden to not show up. 

The Mavs getting rid of Davis is hilarious.  So they essentially traded Luka Doncic for slop and late 1st round picks.  Lol.

Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 03:50:36 PMI think its gotten better due to technology being more precise, but the issue that makes it unwatchable, and I don't think can be fixed without specific rule changes around it, is the "judgement call" aspect.  Offsides reviews could be seamless and useful quickly.  But when they allow either the ref or the video assistant to track back as far as they deem relevant, it gets cumbersome and stupid.

I watched a random match on Peacock in December, can't recall which.  Counter attack, really nice passing, great goal.  VAR pops up.  Commentators couldn't figure out why, all attackers were aside by a mile, acres of space on the attack with no challenges.  Turns out there was a "foul" on the change of possession, but not just on the change...the LB tackled an attacker, ball went to another attacking midfielder, who moved to the center for a dribble or two and then got stripped, which ignited the counter attack.  But that LB tackle, that the ref didn't even look twice at, was suddenly deemed beyond the pale in super slow-mo ruling out a goal almost a minute later. 

Yep.
It's akin to overturning a touchdown because an offensive tackle got away with holding five players earlier on the drive.

Best suspension ever?

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 03:20:20 PMCan you remind me what we've disagreed on other than you being out on Shaka and me thinking he absolutely deserves a chance to fix it? 

Granted, that is a big point of contention. 

 I'm not "out on Shaka" unless he insists upon going forward with RGV as his operating system. I want the original version of Shaka back for next season, not this Coach Don Quixote version of him.  He deserves a chance to dump his wildly unsuccessful RGV as an operating system and return Marquette to where he had us, and he needs to say adios to players like Hamilton.
