Re-evaluated drunken expectations….

Man, after watching this season unfold it’s become glaringly obvious that the portal has vastly superseded (sp?) high school recruiting in the world of team building.

There is a large collection of teams that have come from nothingness to competitive to even championship seasons after just one good cycle in the portal.

In fact, I’m willing to bet that the four teams left wouldn’t be in that position were it not for some valuable acquisitions in last years’ portal. Sure, the newbie recruits are still playing a role in depth building, but there have been some MAJOR shifts this year based solely off the portal.

If you get the right guys in the right situation….shit can snowball in a hurry. I feel like we were so close to hitting that downslope this year. A couple of calls or injuries go our way and we were right there till the end.

Get a couple of spark plugs for that offense and fill in a couple of gaps on that DC that needs to be lit on fire and we’re back on track. It seems to happen REALLY fast these days.

Also, blahhhh blaaaaahhhhhh bllaaaahahahahaahahahaahaha…..and some other stuff. This shit gets exhausting sometimes

Tik Tok Ban

Today Supreme Court, in a per curiam decision, unanimously upheld the constitutionality of a law saying that if Tik Tok does not divest itself from Chinese ownership that it is banned. The issue will land squarely on Trump's lap who campaigned on saving Tik Tok. However, this was not an executive action, it was a law passed by Congress with strong bipartisan support.

As for the decision I am surprised only by its per curiam nature (though my perception is there have been an increasing number of those recently). The Supreme Court is historically loathe to intervene when national security concerns are raised. Some time ago they were willing to allow the racist imprisonment in concentration camps of tens of thousands of innocent American citizens, without any due process, or even charge, because a president claimed it was necessary for national security.

To be sure, the national security concerns are more legitimate this time around. Though I am uncertain how valid the concern is when applied to simply private citizens posting everything from stupid cat videos to recipes. It is certainly a concern for government and critical industry users. Critical to the court's decision was the finding that the law was "content neutral" in that it did not discriminate for or against any particular perspective.

Funny Notre Dame Story

In 1993 #1 FSU played at #2 Notre Dame in what was billed as the "Game of the Century."

A group of us from Seminole Boosters, Inc. flew up to Chicago on that Thursday then drove over to South Bend to take in the sights as I recommend you knuckleheads do next year....If you can definitely book this game you won't regret it.

We went to a Friday press conference in this small room...we thought for a game of this magnitude the conference room would be much larger.

Anyway I end up standing barely inside the double doors and I look down and there's a dang Cotton Bowl Trophy being used as a door stop....they had a Cotton Bowl Trophy holding the door open.

Tell me you're a big time football program without telling me you're big time.....using a major bowl trophy as a door stop....I got all of my buddies attention and pointed down to the trophy and we were all starting to realize we were on the holy ground of college football for sure.

Unfortunately FSU lost the game 24-31 on that Saturday but went on to win their first National Championship a few weeks later.

Anyway all of our trophies are on display under security glass with LED lights on them including a Cotton Bowl Trophy....I hope FSU gets back to winning big again and I live long enough to see us use a Cotton Bowl Trophy as a door stop.

Happy New Year Ags

Yeah I’m not going through an offseason on here

My biggest frustration with Elko when he was the DC here is he couldn’t protect a late lead. My text group all agreed that we scored too early and you knew what would happen.

But as for this place, I can’t take the endless smart ass comments and shitty attitudes. It actually affects my real life by surrounding myself with negativity. I’m going to take a break from here for a while. Good luck to everyone and hopefully this gets better at some point.
