As the world looks on-

For years Putin said he was going to reunite the old Russian empire. The U.S. along with all of European countries, NATO, and non NATO countries, trading partners, oil companies etc etc knew this. So why in the hell did we and our allies wait until men, women, and children were being slaughtered. We shouldn't lame this on the right or left sides of our politics. Both parties have been in power and held Congress since Putin declared his initiative. What we are doing now could have been done shortly after Putin's plan was announced Is the world going to watch China take back Taiwan? Sure-the world keeps on doing the same thing over and over.

CFB : BIG Conversations

The next 5 years could really impact what we know college FB to be. We all know this to be true. Here are two of the better conversations I’ve heard with some good insights and I thought all of us CFB knuckleheads might eat up!
(I don’t have time at the moment to share my thoughts beyond sharing this.)
The time stamps are below in case you have a particular conversation you want to hear and not the whole thing.

Rule Changes, Playoff Expansion, Attendance Concerns and more…

I wish

I love the fact that we toughed it out and won another big 12 championship. Testament to the grit of this team and our coach. We have some warriors.

That said, I feel like we are either a three point shooting team or a pound it into the post team. Wish we had players who were comfortable shooting mid range jumpers. Seems like a lot of those are open and we refuse to shoot them.
