The part that everybody is missing is that bypassing cloture takes a simple majority. If you want the input of the opposition party, keep it in place and negotiate with them. If you don't, vote to skip it and take the consequences.

Republicans need no Democrat votes to end the shutdown. They have a majority in both houses and the President. To end the shutdown, they need only to have all Republicans vote on a continuing resolution that they agree on. Right now there are two possibilities: 1. Republicans can't agree...

If there were any indication that he could replicate his 2023 numbers maybe, but this Liberty team is not that Liberty team. His numbers now aren't far from his 2024 numbers and it's against better competition.

Salter has played in every game and started the past two.

The funny thing is the review process as-is is intentionally slower than it can be. The review can be conducted and finished from the booth without the input of the game officials at all. The whole ceremony of having the game officials stop and look at the play is only meant to reinforce the...

Arkansas fired him for pretty egregious team management stuff. You shouldn't expect to be able to hire your incompetent mistress for important staffing positions.

It does highlight that we legitimately need to improve red zone defense. They did come up big in overtime when we needed it, though.

You have right next to it a more relevant stat: yards per play. We’re not great in that (something like 11th in the league) but we’re not last. We’ve faced the most pass attempts, however. We’ve also faced the most run attempts. Our defense has faced significantly more plays than any other SEC...

The intended lineup is for Perry to be at guard, I think Umarov is the one who steps out. I appreciate that he's working hard but he's not grading too well.

At least on the second his arm was grabbed by the defender before the ball reached him. Both balls would have been easier to catch thrown lower, though whether that was possible with whatever Joey was dealing with in the pocket I don't know. It used to be that the rule was one hand on it --...

Bishop averaged 5 yards a carry before the OT run. Everybody else averaged under 4.

They were still having to do the designs manually for a lot of shows when I marched in 2003, though they used software to print them rather than sketching by hand. The software would tell them two marchers could not pass so close to each other. Technically correct but we "made it work".

It's pretty much my read on the situation. Nico would have played better here this year than he has so far for UCLA, but perhaps not if he continued to lack any dedication to development. He looked like he was slow to make progress, though, so there's some risk he has a low ceiling to start with.

The fact that it was in Louisiana was even funnier to me.

It also strongly resists saying it doesn’t know the answer to a question, because nobody is going to pay for an answer machine that admits it doesn’t know the answer to 30% of the questions asked to it.
