scrimmage. I don't think its open, But don't know that for sure.

I am not sure if there were any property taxes anywhere in the USoA at the founding but I am sure that property ownership was so sacred to the founders most would have opposed any property tax. Do you really own your property if you have to rent it from the government every year?

LMAO. Banks don't lose track of money the climate grifters stole it.

Imagine that, Al Jazeera, one of Dan's propaganda outlets has at least 6 journalist working for it that are members of Hamas? Dang. almost like we tried to tell him or aomething.

But wait I thought these woke POS were all about following the science and doing what is in the best interest of these kids. ow they are worried about their report being weaponized against them to hold them accountable for ruining the lives of these kids. SMFH pure evil as is every single person that supports this sickness.

Sample:

Bezmenov describes the results of Demoralization:

Exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. ... Even if I shower him with information with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures, even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camps, he will refuse to believe it until he’s going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When a military boot crashes into his balls, then he will understand, but not before. That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.

Demoralization/Indoctrination is also known as gaslighting. Prominent podcaster and radio host Dan Bongino describes it this way: “You have to lie, lie often, and lie confidently while isolating people from the truth.” You can listen to television newscasters from all across the country, repeating the same words and phrases. The objective is to gain power and control over other people by distorting reality.

Temple = dead last in 3rd down D last yr

OU on 3rd downs vs Temple: 1-12

OU board all abuzz about how bad O line was against a terrible opponent, with salt to the wound several key injuries

HC's and assistants for a long time have been given 4 and 5 year contracts at the college level, to match the eligibility cycle of the players they recruit. I don't think long-term contracts makes sense anymore unless you have a proven winner in their prime. And if you are going to hand out a LT agreement on a new Coach? He gets less for each year that you normally would pay but provide the added security of a longer contract.

Probably more than ever before, with the current transfer portal rules, you drift in to losing season(s) and the potential damage to your roster can be devastating. The only way to be able to "fix" that, is with a war chest of money for the portal, or you have to hope to hit it big at the HS level and have young players on your roster that are going to have a break out season. The other side of the equation is do coaches need to be terminated?

You would like to think eventually we get to the point the "free agency" issue of college football is solved. It is in the Coaches' best interest to do so, particularly those that are good developers of young players and can program build. That is why we have the current contract structure for coaches.

You have several programs with a win now attitude at all costs, particularly in the SEC. Coaches are going to get fired left and right with so much open free agency. It will look like the NFL in terms of firings. Handing out these long contracts and every 2 or 3 years firing and having a huge buyout? How many cycles will those schools be willing to do that? Will they have so much money they don't care?

Having a GM that can money ball talent and manage what NIL you have is a BFD. We need to hope Kenyatta is one of the best, it might the most important staff position in an open free agency market. AD's that see with clarity - is the problem talent, coaching, or both? They will be very valuable.

We also better hope OSU is "tampering" right now, it is not being enforced, OSU can not afford to put itself at a disadvantage.

Programs like OSU IMO, we really need to invest in a QB and probably will be forced to spend a much higher % of their NIL dollars than say TOSU will have to on a QB. This also means OSU might have to over spend a little to get a really good QB.

Some schools with limited resources might be forced to decide how much do they invest in coaches and how much in NIL? Which will move the needle more currently?

We know more change is coming, and what does it look like? I think we agree the goal is to add some player stability. In the short-term, player instability is probably going to lead to Coaching instability. Colleges are handing out 4 and 5 year contracts when the business cycle for the players is 1 year. If coaches are honest, they really can't plan a roster or try to build one with a 4 - 5 year player business cycle. It is a recipe for eventual failure as a College HC if you are expected to win big every year. The NFL has a much better way of spreading the talent, and NFL Coaches still get fired left and right and they have fewer excuses now than college coaches.

Colorado has addressed this by hiring a HC known to every single football player in America, and a mindset to fully embrace the one year player cycle. Colorado is sacrificing coaching pedigree and ability, and has embraced: You are one and done if you suck. The players have no loyalty, so no loyalty back to the players: Perform or pack your shit. Colorado probably is correct in this mentality, they may lack the overall coaching on their staff. We shall see.

If you are an AD right now you have to be pulling your hair out. Look at UTN, if they end up as bad of record as they might, what happens to their roster and the ability to recruit HS and portal players? Will Joe C be FORCED to fire Vegy and eat that huge buyout? With the money that is at stake, and being a self described blueblood with NC expectations every year, can you afford to fall further behind? Where is their dollars best spent? Coaches or NIL? Even a program like UTN does not have unlimited resources.

The one year business cycle for players is really making life tough for Coaches, AD's, and donors. It is going to be total chaos moving forward if nothing changes and massively expensive to make fast coaching changes with the current industry contract mindset.

I will apologize in advance for the length of this post. At 83, I reflect back on past NCAA tournaments and several memorable tournaments come to mind but I was thinking today of one that
stands out in my mind and in a ode to nostalgia I have decided to write about one tournament in particular. It is not one that we won and as a matter of fact we placed 4th behind Iowa, Oklahoma and Iowa State. Forty-three years ago KC Scott and I decided to drive to Princeton, New Jersey for the 1981 NCAA Tournament. We were definitely rabid fans as Oklahoma State in a "down" year had just placed 3rd at the Big Eight Tournament held in Stillwater. Oklahoma was the Big 8 champion and Iowa State was a close 2nd. Oklahoma scored 80 points and we were a distant 3rdwith 56.5 points and one champion. Randy Willingham was our only champion wrestling at the then official weight of 118 pounds.
I had an uncle that lived in Trenton, NJ and I called him up out of the blue and asked him if he could put up a couple of Okies for a few nights and he agreed. This was my Dad's brother Lawrence and I was named after him. Trenton is only about 20 miles from Princeton where the tournament was to be held. We spent the first night on the road in Indianapolis, home of my wife's older sister so we were going on the cheap and decided this would be a good road trip. We must have been quite a sight travelling in my 1980 Subaru that suffered a break in the back window the day before the trip and it was patched up with plastic sheeting and duck tape and flapped in the breeze as we drove. The day of the tournament we followed my uncle's daughter to her work in Princeton. She worked in a stained glass shop just off the Princeton Campus but about a 6 block walk to the Arena. As mentioned we were going on the cheap so we parked at her business for free and walked back and forth. There was a local bar next to the stained glass shop called Rosso's that catered to the working man and definitely not what you would describe as Haute Couture. More on this bar
later.
The #1 seed at 118# that year was Gene Mills of Syracuse and he coasted through the bracket and won by a fall in the finals. He was the largest 118 pounder I had ever seen. Randy Willingham was seeded #2 after winning the Big 8 but he lost his first match 9-8 to Tom Reed of SIU/Edwardsville. He then proceeded to win 5 straight matches to take 3rd place pinning his first opponent Tom Reed in the conso finals. At 126 pounds OSU wrestler Jerry Kelly was seeded 4th after placing 2nd to Derek Glenn OU in the Big 12 tournament. Jerry won his first three matches but lost in the semis 6-4. He ended up finishing 3rd with a fall in the conso finals. We were seeded 5th at 134 with Thomas "The Snake" Landrum who used the Snake to get a fall in his first match but in the second match he met an unseeded wrestler from Auburn by the name of Clar Anderson who destroyed him 17-3. Thomas lost again in the consos and did not place. Auburn dropped wrestling after that year and Clar Anderson transferred to Oklahoma State after his 6th place finish and became a Cowboy National Champion.
At 142 pounds a freshman named Kenny Monday was seeded 4th after placing 3rd at the Big 8. Andre Metzger of OU was first at both the Big 8 and at Nationals. Kenny Monday won his first match 19-4 but this was the highlight of his first NCAA as in the2nd round he was defeated 13-9 by Bernie Fritz. (Time for Pennstate1985 to gloat as Fritz was from Penn State and BTW we sat
next to his parents at this tournament). Kenny lost again and did not place as a freshman. Fritz ended up placing 6th. At 150 pounds Matt Skove of OSU was seeded 9th and did not place.
At 158 pounds Dave Schultz of OU was seeded #1 as he had deserted the good guys the year before to wrestle their hated enemy. The rumor was that OU had a better freestyle coach and thus he decided to transfer. Ricky Stewart of Oklahoma State was seeded #2 and Schultz had beaten him the week before in the Big 8 finals 4-2. They were to live up to their seeds at nationals and were in the finals against each other. In one of my most memorable experiences, at the 4:50 mark in the match Ricky hit a fireman's carry on Dave and pinned him in 4:56. This was worth the
drive in itself. After the tournament had ended KC Scott and I were on the mat and I had Ricky pose in his OSU warmup for a picture. Many years later I sent this pic to Ricky and received a very nice letter in return.
OSU had another freshman in 1981 who was the only wrestler in the country to have beaten Kenny Monday in a high school match. At 167 pounds Mike Sheets, up two weights for the team had placed 3rd at the Big 12. He was unseeded in the Nationals and lost his first match to #3 seed Mark Schultz brother of Dave Schultz 13-6. Mark Schultz went on to win the tournament with
upsets of Perry Hummel of Iowa State who had beaten him at the Big 8 and then upsetting Mike DeAnna of Iowa who was the #1 seed for first place. Meanwhile in the consolations unseeded freshman Mike Sheets upset #6 seed John Reich of Navy on the way to placing 7th at 167. Mike Sheets was my favorite wrestler in my 64 years of watching Cowboy wrestling. At 177# Rey Martinez of OSU was the 12th seed after placing 3rd at the Big 8. Rey won his first match 14-7 but after that he lost twice and did not place. At 190 pounds we had our last wrestler Greg Hawkins who had placed 3rd at the Big 8 and was seeded 6th at Nationals. Greg won his first match but then was upset in the 2nd round and eventually lost again and did not place. OSU did not have a qualifier at heavyweight which was won by Lou Banach of Iowa to match his Brother Ed who won at 177 pounds. Steve "Dr. Death" Williams was third that year and Lou Banach pinned the #1 seed Bruce Baumgartner of Indiana State.
This was one of my most memorable tournaments and I have not missed many since 1961. I promised a little more information about Rosso's Bar where we parked between each session. Rosso's was not what one would think of when pondering watering holes near the prestigious Princeton University. We spent several hours total there between sessions drinking beer and discussing the tournament. As mentioned my cousin worked at the stained glass business next door but she had never darkened the doors of Rosso's as it apparently did not appeal to
her more refined tastes. KC Scott and I persuaded her to accompany us to this establishment after one of the sessions. You had to go up to the bartender to place your order in this small pub
and at the time the bartender was a grizzled older individual wearing a what would have been a white apron but was stained with the various foods or drink he had been serving. KC Scott asked my cousin what she would like to have to drink and she mentioned that a Harvey's Bristol Creme Sherry would be to her liking. KC approaches the bartender with our order of two draws and the afore-mentioned Sherry and he was promptly told by the bartender that "Harvey did not live here anymore and that she had the choice of a New Jersey Red or New Jersey White." I believe that was her last visit to Rosso's. One last observation to this egregiously long post. In the course of writing this "Book" I wanted to know if Rosso's still existed on Spring Street in Princeton north of the Campus. My research shows that Rosso's was sold in the latter1980's to a Hot wings place known as "Chuck's Spring street cafe." This would be the end of the story except that I learned that this cafe and bar was purchased in 1989 by Lyle Menendez of the infamous Lyle and Erik Menendez murders. After the two brothers had killed their parents in Beverly Hills they had told the police that unknown assailants had killed their parents and they were free for several months to spend overf$700,000 dollars on jewelry, a porsche carrera and Chuck's Spring street Cafe. Lyle had previously attended Princeton as a freshman before being suspended for poor grades and plagiarism. The two brothers are still in prison. THANKFULLY, THE END

LMAO. She has to take a day to prepare for a softball interview from some Democrat Activist Journalist. This coming after she tries to say Trump is exhausted and can't handle the rigors of thee campaign trail. SMFH

You must be so excited! Think how many Iranians your beloved Bibi will kill! Do you supposed your step-father’s family will be among them? The anticipation must be more than you can bear. Don’t you love the smell of rotting human bodies in the morning, as long as they’re not Israeli bodies, of course.

You troll. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seeing more and more people suggesting this. Have no idea how this would work, then again we were told it wouldn't work if they put Kamala in and somehow they did it.

Cankles the October Surprise?

Does anyone know where I can get the full high-resolution picture of the library like the one by my name. Seems like someone on here took that picture. I would like to get it and make a metal picture for our OSU wall.
