Of course it bothers me. Don’t forget in the months leading up to the war I was the lone voice urging the U.S. to provide Ukraine with the military assets necessary to defend against the invasion. I knew once Russian acquired that territory it was never being returned. Ukraine loses a war of attrition. Ukraine will be in a worse position two years from now than today from which to negotiate. If you have a better solution then I’m all ears

We have crossed so many supposed red lines by Putin. The Russians are so full of junk in their supposed red lines. The have no response.

Ukraine has held off the Russians with the most part with weak help. They lost lots of ground while the republicans doddled around and bent over to lord Donald.

The Europeans have woken up that we are propably not in on the Future. America is showing signs of abandoning the world stage under Trump and the rest of the world knows it.

If we don't have the stomach for a fight with no American lives on the line against Putin, Xi knows we have no stomach for a fight over Taiwan. None. Zero. We have zero credibility.

Trump doesn't care about the outcome for Ukrainians, europe, nato or the European Union. He thinks it is some kind of zero sum game with the Americans not being able to play with the Russians. He would prefer to be able for himself to have access to Moscow hotel investments that give the Ukrainians freedom or what that could mean for American investments and what it represents for future. It is some sick stuff.

Fire him TOMORROW!

Vince Carrilot was fired during the summer of 1970 for recruiting violation that landed TU on probation. Claude "Hoot" Gibson was a serial womanizer who the players did not respect. Dave Rader was fired mid-season 1999, which was a totally bungled deal. Mid-season (or late season now) firings rarely produce positive results, unless waking a program out of a coma is achieved.
ECU is 3-0 since firing their coach mid-season, but I do see your point.

With the portal now, getting a jump on finding a new coach is necessary. The players we want to stay, regardless of what some have said about them on here, will possibly be more willing to stay if a coach is named quickly. So today, firing mid season, while it may not show immediate results, could be beneficial sooner rather than a long rebuild.

Yeah they are playing too many minutes against somebody we were up by 30 on, and beat by 23 after throwing a bunch of reserves in. You play them with a lot more minutes in a game like this. It figures that it would take something so convoluted for you to find to criticize. The fact that you criticized at all in a game like this is amusing.
Uh… Reed was a starter? Lol

McWright didn’t just play in scrub time either (and he has 2 years of previous observation)

I didn’t just mean to criticize. Odom, Barnes, Archie, and Willis have been awesome. I will feel a lot better when we get Garcia back and he is in game shape. I feel like this team could potentially have 20 wins with a healthy Garcia and the 4 I mentioned playing 24-28 mpg. Also glad to see Amadi on the floor. Smikle continues to be in front of where I anticipated.

Exactly. The system worked last time but as we have seen in places like Turkey, if you insert your people into the courts, civil service, and military, de facto you end up with a coup of the system. This is my worry. And hearing smart folks like Chris not being too worried just concerns me more!
Things would have to change a lot to have the likes of the FBI and top military brass even support Trump in every day life much less a coup of the government.

My only fear is that Trump will break down those checks with both the house and Senate going Republican. He will be given carte blanche on appointments and attempt to change the civil servants hirings and firings, that he has so far been forbade from touching.

Yeah, but I want you, and others to comment on my point! That was why I made the point. 😜 Our non conf schedule just got a little better.
Ok how about this I acknowledge that UCF edged out Texas A&M. Hopefully A&M is really good as expected so that a win to UCF will give us the boost we need to the schedule on a "Neutral" court
