Not to pile onto the kid, but the second half of the season makes on wonder if he's played himself out of the draft (in the sense that it would be better for his short-term and long-term term financial interest to come back).

Novak Djokovic has a much better resume. and arguably against better competition. Phil Ivey is the GOAT.

This might be the dumbest thread on VN. It is amazing to me that Americans truly don't understand the massive, massive geopolitical advantage the US has via geography + Canada. Having a large country with unbelievable natural resources guarded by an ocean on the East, an ocean on the West, a...

I would add that the Polynesian culture fosters a family dynamic where the child is subservient to the parents (even if they disagree or already an adult) in a way that non-Polynesians don't fully appreciate.

If I recall correctly, he's a Nigerian guy living in Nigeria that is hopelessly trolling on social media all day for Russia.

We absolutely would not. We have historically kept our black programs very close to the vest. Strategic national security interests > diplomacy (show of force is a form of diplomacy). We had ICBM technology long before NASA's moon landing. Strategic national security interests > space...

The frustrating and disheartening thing about Trump is that some of the policies/objectives he pursues are worthwhile (in some shape, scale, or fashion) but the execution/tact/application are so egregiously stupid that it poisons the well for the policy/objective moving forward.

Probably the most optimal situation for our first loss. It was going to happen at some point and the pressure to stay unblemished grows every game. We are about to go on the road for our first SEC away series. This loss simultaneously pops the unblemished pressure bubble, affords Tony to get...

In an ideal world, Russia would be a liberal democracy with Western values. After the fall of the Soviet Union, there was a small window of opportunity for this scenario to play out but that time is long gone. In many respects, it is one of the biggest geopolitical fumbles of the Western world...

The West is still over the moon that Putin is in charge. In fact, that is precisely the reason the West is collectively thawing support for Ukraine at the moment.

Marcus was going to be a project coming into the season. The goal is for him to be consistent by the postseason. Just have to be patient in the beginning of the season.

Today reminds me of the old Lenin quote of "there are decades where nothing happens; and weeks where decades happen". It is going to be very interesting how this plays out. Does Europe finally find their balls and grow up? If so, America wins (both long-term and short-term). Does Zelensky...

Hard to believe an SEC program has such trash rims. Makes you wonder if Buzz perfers them to help muck the game up with his playing style.

Surprised they didn't challenge that. The replay looked like Marin might have got him.

Super early in the season, but I can't remember a team that had such promising freshmen...everywhere.
