Strunk'sDessert

I was hopeful while having my eyebrows raised for most of those offseason moves. However, I didn't expect Cushenberry to play like he has this year. That seemed, to me at least, a rock solid signing at the time. Maybe I missed some signs, though.

I think this is true for most generations, they don't realize they're making history with their current actions. Where the future goes from here is too be seen, but history won't look kind on us if the current state of global affairs continues. It's really easy to ask, "why did you let this happen?" Most will or have simply answered with, I was just trying to care for MY family/in-group/social status. It didnt seem like a big deal at the time. Sadly, we're not rising up to the moment now, yet there's still time. We'll see if this is the cattle prod up the ass that we all need.

Didn't realize that. Immense respect for the survivors and the liberators. I've often wondered how odd it might've been for the prisoners that were surely elated to be freed and the soldiers that were clearly there to help, yet had horror on their faces to see them and the atrocities. Also, incredibly important history that he saw. As that generation has mostly passed, society as a whole needs their first hand accounts more than ever. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Which is the land of purgatory of you don't draft incredibly well.

@oldschool pulling his best @Pragidealist impression.

This might be a bit hyperbolic, but I consider a good amount of Republicans over the last decade - elected representatives across all levels, influential personalities, media members, "proud" citizens - similar to the citizens of Dachau. They saw the building supplies shipped in, the influx of soldiers, the construction, the trains of people, the screams and smoke and smell of death. The money flowing into their community from providing such a large operation that they had no idea about or could make an educated guess about. No one could've known or guessed. Note for our resident Republican snowflakes, I'm not calling these Republican groups Nazis. I'm just calling them complicity ignorant. https://medium.com/@blazecurrie/what-we-should-remember-about-dachau-44b444a8dccc

I mostly agree with @ChesterCopperpot1 on this. If comparing the Temple HC gig vs. Any NFL HC job, sure it's not even a competition. However, if you're comparing SEC/Big10 HC good to NFL gigs, I don't think it's a contest on who is putting in more hours a year - it's the collegiate level in those leagues. Quality of life is always hard to quantify - different people prioritize different things. I'd compare it with audit vs. tax in public accounting. If you can sell, socialize, brown-nose and love living out of a suitcase, you're probably going to like audit. If you just want to grind 4-5 months out of year while almost always sleeping in your own bed, tax may be a better fit. I'm not acquaintances with any of these people, but I have talked to various low level Titans, Vols, Vandy coaches through the years that have been at both levels. I don't recall any of them ever saying the Power 5 level was easier than the NFL. I do recall a couple making it very clear the opposite statement (NFL was less time) was true. Didn't think it was much of a debate to be honest.

Well, I just agreed with you then saw this...in that vein: Fuck ya mother, you uppity rat cunt!

I'll agree with this. Crunchies actually makes sense on multiple levels depending on the context in which it's used.

While his existence is annoying and bothersome, the A instead of the O makes his name palatable. Edit: But just like my real life boss, a curmudgeony 50 year old tech exec that believes they know everything, @oldschool saying "prog" will absolutely haunt my dreams.

For me, it's simply phonetically unpleasant. Look at yourself in the mirror and say "progs" 5 times in a sentence. You're going to like yourself much less afterwards.

I'm aware. About 15-20 years younger than you with middle school nieces & nephews and a young kid of my own. Progs is an abomination.

"Progs" is the worst language offense from this board in the past decade. I hate it, you hate it, we all hate it. If a word is something you Google on accident when halfway looking at your phone and you're returned with no search results while pondering if you made some odd watch list, it's not something that should be let into the wild to breed. Incinerate it now and never look back.

Hey! Kalen Reed didn't make much impact as a player, but seems like a decent scout! Oh... we're talking about Jerrick. Same height as Bob Sanders, so... yeah, good ole Jerrick.

Yeah, Farley had explosive traits, but he totally backfired. He just ended up being a Class B corner when healthy. Complete shame because his dad really held his feet to the fire before the fire department came - his own feet that is... At least Farley didn't burn any bridges in the league. His body just wanted to spontaneously combust it seemed. Wish him well. It'd be nice to have back draft picks like him, though.
