OT: Hypocrisy in politics

M
Honestly though, deplatforming conservatives was probably the best thing that could've happened to conservative movement. Instead of relying on 1 "conservative" media network, a thousand independent voices have emerged and created parallel platforms, media groups, and followings that aren't restricted by a controlled narrative or investment arm. It also opened a ton of the middle ground eyes as to the control of messaging the big networks have.

Memphis game on the MW network?, Really!?

It works fine for me on my iphone, appletv, AND fire stick.

Also, I don't think people understand what a pure ESPN+ game is. ESPN just broadcasts local video with either the schools TV broadcasters on their app, or simulcasts the radio hosts. It's not like ESPN has hired a bunch of camera crews and sportscasters to call hundreds of games per week. A game on ESPN+ is the same as a game on the MW. There is no difference.

On the plus side we have to be making some money with all the advertising we do on breaks. Schools like CSU are stupid as they rarely sell any local advertising. For me I see it as if it's available take advantage of it and make some money.

Was at the NAU game. As a team they look slower than last year. Also, their shooting doesn't seem as good. (21% and 24% from three for their first two games.) Last year teams spent a lot of energy guarding Desi and that left our shooters more open.

Great rebounding though. If we can deny on defense any second chances that will be great for us. A big bonus on offense as well. Brackens rebounding was great. She just gets to the right spot. Now if we can do that with Arizona that would be sweet.

Lady Rebels

WYNN or Dye
It is going to take some time, playing without a dominate player.
They, are still trying to figure out their roles. 3 point shooting, is definitely a concern though.

The things, that I am encouraged are the low turnovers.
Last year, UNLV was the number 2 team in the country with the least amount of turnovers per game 10.4.
This year, it is 7.5 turnovers per game.
Also, UNLV can have any 6 players go off in a game. Thus, harder to guard than 1 or 2 dominant players.

Looking forward to playing at Arizona next game. This, will be a big test, if the Lady Rebels can beat them this Tuesday.

LA Bowl projections

rebelzzz
USC being 4-5, they have to win 2 of their remaining 3. They are not going to beat Notre Dame. Means they have to win their next 2. They should be able to beat Nebraska at home. UCLA at UCLA will be tough mainly because it is a rivalry game and both teams will more than likely need that win to become or still be in the running for bowl eligibility.

There was so much manipulation of the American people. Don’t get wrong, both sides do it. But this time around, it was dramatically amplified while the other side was completely silenced. It’s beyond criminal to me. I don’t like thought control, I don’t like the complete lack of basic freedom. At all.

They changed the course of so many decisions in life …. political, medical, etc.

I’m the type, think what you want, say what you want, do what you want, listen to who you want and I’ll do the same. It’s all good. Go about trying to live your best life. Good luck to you, good luck to me, you be the driver of your own destiny, step back big brother and let people live their lives.

I could probably name 100 people off the top of my head that should be jailed for life or worse for their actions/inactions.

I tried and tried to find another source for the speech by Trump regarding ending this fact checker problem, and all I found where thousands of stories by NPR, PBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc... all attacking Trump and saying how their fact checkers have investigated every one of his speeches and found 1000's of lies. No doubt it is time to remove the media fact checkers that only check facts based on their political beliefs and definitions of the truth.

This is the first political speech I've watched all year in it's entirety.

WOW!

I think it's awesome that he's removing the censorship and he goes directly after public institutions (government agencies and Universities) that engage in it.

I would like to find another source to sue to repost the speech since I do not have a twitter/X account. Was one of the banned/censored ones without reason.

This will mean that many of these social media platforms will be forced to allow the 10's of millions of banned conservative accounts to come back, and it is possible they could also be opened up to lawsuits for damages.

Northern Illinois out, North Dakota St. in?

The program actually did very well with a profit of $1.4 million for the 2021-2022 year with a fiscal year ending June 2022. They had a total revenue of $4,828,029.00 in ticket sales for the season. No doubt the 2023 season was even more profitable with the Michigan game, and this year will have a far larger ticket revenue than past seasons. This will be three profitable seasons in a row after decades of losing money.

Good point, it seems like the move to Allegiant reduced game day costs, or at least stadium upkeep costs.

Last year the football program was "in the black" for maybe the first time in 20 years. I am pretty sure that was even before the championship game and the bowl game, but don't quote me on that.

We didn't have a big paycheck game like we did against Michigan last season, but I would guess the increase in ticket sales will have us surpass the surplus from last season. We won't get the revenue from a home MW championship game, but I think it will still be better.

The guy is a polarizing ego hound, but this is strong and hits me perfectly. We’ve had posters here (and from UNLV) that wanted voices here silenced, for some reason, I guess just control of information, painting a false picture, because they need unicorns and cotton candy blown up their asses …. Obviously, it’s something I never considered because the absolute foundation of America, in my opinion, is freedom of speech … thought and expression. Everyone has a mind and a voice whether you disagree with them or not, but if they want to speak it, it should be allowed. So yeah, what he stated here, I’m on board with 100%. Sadly, I think this country and people all over the world would have benefitted from it five years ago. A lot of uninformed decisions were made, imo, by following MSM and their lies and especially the subsequent squashing of opposing voices.

I didn’t watch the whole thing, don’t know if he mentioned the death of Obama’s ultra controlling Smith Mundt Act of 2012, but I pray he did.

If you feel what he says is wrong, you don’t believe in America or democracy. It’s pretty cut and dry.

I am curious how long before some of these hidden fact checkers end up going to jail. Facebook, twitter (X), Youtube, etc.. could have some real legal issues regarding the fact checkers who now may be forced into hiding. FACT: They are now coming for you fact checkers!
