Anyone else just not watching our games anymore?

I’ve even stopped watching the highlights from the recording, it’s just sad

What highlights? When there are none, I also quit watching. There should be a lowlights, dropped passes for a large gain, failure to stop the opponent on third down with 15+ yards to go, missed field goals, screwing up receiving kickoffs and punts, the list goes on and on. I guess now a highlight is what would be considered by other teams a normal average play.

I was an active duty US Army officer for 28 years. Your suggestion of a SECDEF with extensive combat experience may sound like the appropriate credentials, but that experience does not bring the right set of skills to the table.

There is a vast transition going in military munitions. Lloyd Austin predicted that Russian tanks would overrun Kiev in two days, but Javelin missiles that were carried and fired by single soldiers took out virtually every tank with ease (link). Tanks are now essentially obsolete. Ditto armoured personnel carriers.

The same is true of aircraft carriers. They are obsolete. China, Russia and Iran all have "carrier killer" hypersonic missiles that can destroy them. They fly at Mach 5 (a bullet from a rifle flies at Mach 3) and while our carriers have anti-missile missiles that can intercept them, when fired in swarms at a carrier several are certain to get through. FYI, DOD opened a hypersonic missile lab at Purdue last year (link).

Fighter jets are also obsolete. Modern surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles can easily take them out.

We need a SECDEF who understands that the future of warfare will be drones, fire-and-forget missiles, a sub-surface Navy, AI-piloted aircraft, the much-ridiculed Reagan Star Wars and ground troops who are not massed together in clusters.

i wouldn't say we were overly full because Painter showed he was willing to go over the scholarship limit. Regardless, Painter didn't need a class of 5 freshman, he could have stayed at 4 freshman and dealt with obvious holes in the roster through the portal.

But, completely agree. Also, we wouldn't even need someone like Cliff, just some middle of the pack transfer center I think would make a huge difference and set us up better for a run. And why couldn't Purdue pitch that center?

The only thing I can think of is he was all in on the two-year plan and wanted to give Jacobsen this year to develop for a run next year. But man, that's such a big risk and feels like a waste of a year with Braden and Fletch, not even mentioning the injury to Jacobsen.

So you think calling people Hitler is okay? Do you believe he's going to try and exterminate a race? Do you believe being called a Marxist is a bad thing?
Click to expand...
I wouldn't call Chump, Hitler but I would say that his rhetoric is out the playbook of fascism. Just look how he wants to control the media. Faux News was State run, propaganda television when he was president the last time and will be again. To answer your question, being called a Marxist is not a good thing but that's how y'all see Harris. And Chump being a fascist is how I see Chump.

I have had that thought too. But @ the time wasn't our roster overly full??

Still, imagine this team with Clifford Omoruyi who left R for AL. Watch him tonight, and tell me about our FF team chances again with him @ the 5. Pretty good imo.

Once you are done checking on the number of Jews Trump killed in his first term, tell us what you as a self-proclaimed student of history think are the qualifications for AG and DOD?

Harris was qualified to be VP. Her qualifications was comparable or better than previous VPs that held the position. Just because she is not white doesn't mean that she is not qualified. If I was Biden, I would have selected Harris as AG. But her as VP was fine.

Nobody is saying, when comparing Chump to Hitler or fascism that he killed any Jews. That is intellectually deficient.

For me, DOD qualifications will be someone, most likely 4 star general material, that have had extensive experience command US troops in battle. As with Austin, someone that has experience commanding an entire region of command.

As far as AG, perhaps someone like a Trey Gowdy. Someone that has extensive federal prosecution experience. Or someone that has held state AG positions. Certainly no one that has been accused of serious crimes such as sex trafficking.

What say you. Is Hegseth qualified for DOD? Is Gaetz qualified for AG?
