Berhalter’s replacement may not have been to Oklahoma,

TU_BLA
So I know USSF has a pay equity policy, but what if Nike came in and told Jurgen Klopp, "If you coach the USMNT, we've got a $10M endorsement deal for you over the life of your contract"...would that work? I'm sure there are some USSF/USMNT sponsors who would gladly fork over that $ for the endorsement and the possible extra eyeballs on TVs when the USMNT plays.

🏈 News/Notes Some portal info

Chris Harmon
Just wanted to pass along a few items. I'm pretty sure it was previously mentioned about Tahj Gary entering the portal. He wasn't going to be available until some time in September due to a knee injury.

Reeves Baller will likely be entering the portal, which opens up an additional scholarship spot. If I remember right, Baller had been academically ineligible. At this point, I believe TU has 3 open scholarships, which will most likely go to some deserving walk-ons on a one-year basis.

Zero chance we hire someone whose coaching resume is 3 years with a U19 team imo. Not saying he wouldn’t do a great job. However, I don’t see US Soccer making such a move due to his limited coaching experience. I would take him over Berhalter btw.

May be all we can afford!

Policy is pay equity for men's and women's teams right?

The First Debate

My personal observations from watching this board is that we have very few right wing zealots (sorry ATUfan, you might be the only obvious one). We probably have a few more rabid left wingers than right wingers actually.

Others like Huffy and Lawpoke come across as thoughtful conservatives and/or Biden critics rather than blind zealots. It keeps things interesting to have smart people providing differing views.

US Olympic Swim Trials

I started doing triathlons a few years ago because I can't afford a Ferrari and I don't have the energy for a 23 year old GF. I've been really surprised by how hard swimming is. It also seems to be a love it or hate it thing. I haven't talked to anyone who was like "swimming, I could take it or leave it."

It is a lot more work than it looks like. I cannot tell you how much stronger she has gotten since she started as well as how much her endurance in the water she has gotten. I mean she swims like 2 hrs straight 4-5 days a week in practice. It's insane. She is swimming 5 races on Saturday (maybe 6) this Saturday in a meet organized by her club and the one in Bartlesville because there was a meet in Edmond that they canceled due to the pool's AC being out. She is swimming the 400 IM, 200IM, 50 back, 100 back, and 50 fly (and maybe 1 more). It's an extra meet to try to drop times for D2/B times and/or meet state meet qualifying times in an event. She's pretty close to state times in all of these events...and I'm not 100% sure why they have her swimming the 400 IM...they don't even run that event for her age group at the state meet.

This week practice has been at 7am all week (ugh) and they have to swim at McClure Park because it's OSSAA dead week and swimmers can't use the district's facilities (there are a number of Union swimmers at her swim club, including her, and they wouldn't be able to practice there all week).

Lesser aides not having regular contact with him is a warning sign. Maybe that works for a while, but the longer it goes on, the louder the buzz gets. Especially in the middle of a campaign.

It would resolve problems to have a caucus, but probably not in the way that he wants. There are problems there that likely cannot be covered up in a setting like that. Even if the problems don't hinder him in most situations of carrying out his duties, the Republicans & conservative media would shred him and never let go. The Democrats in the caucus would know that in the caucus. It likely would take mental exams(not the fake ones from 'ronny' that Trump bragged about.) and a lot of talk from doctors, to convince people if he is still capable of his duties. That won't happen. I don't think there is going to be a route out of this situation for Biden. He is going to lose or drop out.

Evidently, he hasn't even spoken to Jeffries since the debate. I agree that they could and maybe should hold a caucus meeting with Biden present, but the only way that ends well for Biden is if Biden is vigorous, of full faculty, and doesn't have a single slip up that a malcontent member might leak to the press. And yeah, maybe follow that up with a couple of public unscripted interviews and an independent cognitive assessment. He passes all that, and he might recover his standing.

I don't know if he is capable of that. And if he is, then all I can ask is what the hell is he waiting for?

It's not hard for me either, we've had diminished presidents before. Wilson, Reagan, and possibly a couple others. Not ideal, but can be managed. We've never had a dictator wannabe with a fresh license to bend the law to his whims before, and that scares me a hell of a lot more.

A candidate that is clearly of full faculty would make the decision a lot easier for some people, or draw back in some of those that are saying they'll vote for Kennedy in protest.

I think you have a situation where he's been so shielded from most Dems even on Capitol Hill, that nobody really actually knows what kind of mental state he is in. That's part of what is causing the absolute panic. The regular rank-and-file house members feel like maybe they were lied to about his true condition, and frankly, so do I.

He did rattle off lots of factoids and actually got better as the debate wore on, which is a mitigating factor.

But the fact that the party leaders themselves seem to be in the dark as to if their candidate is actually in decline or not is a problem, even if he is perfectly fine. It means he's so isolated that when he stumbles, nobody knows what the hell to make of it.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has signaled support for trying Liz Cheney via a military tribunal for treason on national television. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/02/trump-boosts-cheney-military-tribunal-post/74281288007/ And we all know what the penalty for treason is.

I feel like I am in that split second between realizing I am about to crash my car, but not being able to do anything about it. I know that whatever happens next, it's going to hurt.

Personally, I'd rather have a well intentioned animated corpse than a power-hungry maniac that will disrupt many of our alliances. Sucks that is the choice, but that is the current choice.
