No surprise this is your response. Must really chap your ass that someone you and @Dattier wont criticize, pops you and him between the eyes with such a true statement.
And something said decades ago is still true too.

One of the first to recognize the devastating, usually unintended consequences of the White Savior. Not sure if he actually used that term then but the shoe fits. The White Savior was used as a useful idiot to obfuscate the true goals of colonialism in most cases: exploitation of raw material and cheap, sometimes free, local labor

I was surprised like most others that Belin came in instead of Loftis. I liked the way he took charge and was disappointed we never saw him again. It might make sense to mix him in for some true RPO's since Murphy isn't going to fool anyone that he's going to run with the ball.

Part of Diaz's strategy in playing fast is to tire out the defense and I wonder if our (comparative) late success in running the ball and throwing it around on the edges was due to fatigue on Northwestern.

Most of all, the team played pretty badly on offense and yet hung in there and won. This was an important game bowl-wise and Duke got the W. I'm hopeful for 7 wins now.

Promise surf, I am withholding fire....lol.....Henry impressed me Friday nite. At the time in fact, I questioned taking him out, as he seemed to be driving us well in his limited stint.

Week 3 - UConn-Duke - 6 p.m., 9/14

ConorONeill
Thread for this week's game is here. Duke is 2-0 with two stellar defensive games and an offense that's hit or miss.

One programming note first: I'll have a remote story on this one even though it's a home game. Wake Forest plays Ole Miss on Saturday night and while I think I've got a good handle on what that outcome will be, it's one of the teams I cover playing an SEC team, and the No. 5 team in the country, to boot.

As for coverage of UConn-Duke, I'll still have you covered during the week. We've got a press conference tomorrow with Manny Diaz and both coordinators, player interviews on Tuesday, and another presser scheduled for Wednesday with Diaz.

I don't have injury updates; that will likely be the subject of the story from tomorrow's presser.

Just to catch you up on some links:

Duke's win at Northwestern wasn't pretty, but it's still a win.

Australia? 🤣 🤣 🤣 You know darn well we're talking about the USA. It's worked out spectacularly in Australia, btw.

VP Harris' misuse of a direct quotation is nothing compared to Sen Vance's lie. Or the lies you repeat about masks, vaccines, and gender-affirming care. Which is another way of saying it's nowhere near the ballpark of what she was talking about regarding social media sites. I mean, I'm using exact examples and you're still struggling to connect the dots?

You are a dense fool. You're now attempting to deflect the conversation to your claim of my lies about vaccines?? What have I said about vaccines? Don't answer, not relevant. And gender affirming care. You are absolutely not using exact examples. It isn't in the ballpark for YOU. Because you feel politically obligated to avoid acknowledging it. According to her, Elon should be held accountable for the AP posting that tweet and her retweet for it to still be up even though it has been proven to be a lie. The AP at least deleted their tweet. Kamala's disgusting comment is still up.

If you really want to compare what you are saying is Vance's lie and what Kamala did, you will fail to be on the right side of that argument as well. Vance is presuming what her intentions are based on her own previous comments. He may be wrong, and is certainly pandering to an audience, but not comparable to what Kamala did. And you know it.

Australia would be all the examples you would need. Last rime I speak on this.

You can say that Vance lied when he said that Harris wants to take your guns. Even if it is a lie, it has absolutely nothing to do with what the real issue is here. So AGAIN, this does not make me a hypocrite for ignoring something irrelevant to the discussion. You failed again.

The mask and vaccine paragraph is weird. I don't follow.

Shit, datt. Just say shit. This is a safe place. Even for you. The mods have told you directly that you would not be banned and yet you still constantly whine about your supposed ban for using an acronym. Not surprising from the spokesperson for victimhood. As far as the death threats. What I should have said was death wishes. The tweets I was reading wouldn't be considered actual threats as they weren't saying they would do anything. Just that they wished someone would. So accept my correction or say that I was lying. I don't care.

Can you play by the rules for one second here and stick to the topic? Can you explain to me how what Harris did here is any different than what she wants to use the DOJ to go after social media sites for allowing people to do?

Murphy’s lack of mobility concerns me as well. In today’s football, most QB’s can at least run when they have to, even if they don’t call a lot of running plays for themselves. The DLs and LBs are so quick, you need to be able to get out of harms’ way. He does have a cannon for an arm, but he needs to develope a little touch. Not every ball needs to be a laser - case in point, before we kicked the tying field goal, Jordan was wide open on a slant across the middle, but Murphy sent a fastball that was slightly off, but if thrown more softly, would have been something Moore could adjust to and catch.

Spot on. Murphy's touch needs fine tuning, and we need him to work on his mobility.
