Anyone still here? I'm curious what y'all think of the 2026 regulations? Personally, I love the way the cars look, but the racing was AWFUL. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen the race yet, but yeesh... It's hard to call what they did yesterday racing. Lifting before major...

Back to middle east stuff... I disagree with the U.S. getting involved in foreign countries like this. On what basis are we able to murder people without trial across the globe or attack foreign nations and kill their leaders without a declaration of war? Is this all somehow falling under the...

I started very "conservative", quickly moved towards libertarian through my late 20's and 30's, and have drifted towards wanting more regulation over time, realizing that we're out of balance currently (private corps have too much power).

My mom is a classic, oldschool conservative/Christian/traditional person, and has recently been ostracized by all her friends due to her "extreme" viewpoints. Get this - the people who are de-friending and cancelling her? The Trump supporters. Why? Because she had the nerve to not support...

Our daughter is also in second grade, and this somewhat tracks with our experience (except for the teachers, they've both been excellent). Perhaps our biggest objection is that (for both years in public school) the teachers reward our daughter for excellent performance by giving her tablet time...

The "problem" is that we're in a (supposedly) excellent district. We moved here specifically for the public school. But it's not close to offering what we hoped. Maybe that would change as the kids get further along, but our current experience doesn't give us much hope. Again, this is...

I didn't attend public schools in Oklahoma, so I'm hoping to get some insight from those that have navigated this topic already. We recently started our kids in a fantastic public school district in Oklahoma, and initially felt really good about that decision. We wanted to do our part to...

He cares about being a college football head coach at the D1 level. Wild thought, huh?

It's a complete circus.

Hey, folks! Following up to a music video I posted a while back, we've now released the full album titled "Honky Tonk Therapy" (finally!) Take a listen on your favorite service. We'd love any clicks, likes, subs, etc... if you feel so inclined. Hope you enjoy :-)...

The current system sucks as a whole, but with the amount of money randomly distributed across a huge number of schools (and constantly changing based on donor activity), I can see how it would be foolish to not look around at as many schools as possible to potentially find life-changing money...

I definitely get a Moneyball vibe from the coaching staff and GM.

I know it's the current system, but you gotta feel bad for NT. They are basically being penalized for succeeding. I know it's happening elsewhere, but this is just so bad for college football. Completely unsustainable.

It wasn't a matter of skill. It was a matter of effort. Little interest and effort were devoted to it, and it really exposed that approach once NIL + open transfer happened.

I know it's an oversimplification, but I don't think anything will change until ESPN starts losing money or the federal government gets involved to force changes. I'm hoping both happen.
