To your first question, I think it’s very easy for them to say he took them to the CFP semis last year and guarantees the program does well financially. I’m skeptical they take a move like that after a single down year- even if I think they should.

Booster politics. The rabble idolizes Rhule.

Feels too obvious that Matt Rhule is the next head coach if Penn State actually moves on (still skeptical they will)

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

This is exactly how you have to phrase it to appeal to simpleton swing voters

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

College football is awesome because you can be locked into purgatory with James Franklin and lots of people will repeatedly ask you "well who else is out there????????"

Even if I’m down on how it ended (I am), he plays a position notorious for volatility, is young, and is on a cheap contract.

You’ve gotta admit it’s a little messed up the holder on field goals can catch the ball with his knee down but nobody else can

They may have decided they’re not extending Nakobe, so Jihaad really did fill both a short term and long term need. Mukuba was the one I wondered about the time, and still do. But even so, that really was a need

If you want an example of bad process (which never actually got executed), the better one to me is that he wanted to trade up 9 spots to get Jihaad Campbell instead of 1.
