The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.

That this was probably the best game Carolina’s played all season and the Gamecocks still found a way to give the game away despite leading by eight points with ten minutes to play is ... telling.

Nine of nine, rarity score of 7, Red Sox (and Red Sox caps) only.

Probably could’ve shaved a few points if I’d swapped Rice and Dewey, but I don’t think an all-Sox-caps zero is possible, so I kept ’em in their natural positions.

Sub-1 for Manny is neat, too.

I’ll say it again. Not only did they invent this theory. They CHOSE to deliver it to THIS guy, a dangerous raving selfish moron. They could have waited four years and given it all to President Vance or whatever. They chose to give it to Trump.

Unitary executive theory is not wearing well, to say the least. Soon the judges and legal scholars who hatched it (based mostly on some tiny bits and pieces of constitutional text and a tendentious historical account) are going to be lepers. And they are going to richly deserve it.

Carolina probably won’t make a bowl game this season. It might not finish with a winning record.

I’ve seen plenty of frustrating Carolina teams in my days. This one is perhaps the most vexing.

EL KABONG @weekendsofsound.bsky.social · 8d

zero points.

Carolina would cross midfield only three more times in the game. Five drives ended in a three-and-out.

Of the brutal stretch games against five consecutive Top 15 opponents, this one seemed like the winnable one: a banged-up Oklahoma team reeling from a loss against a middling Texas.

Rashul Faison scramble, found the Gamecocks with first-and-goal at the Oklahoma nine-yard line. Four unimaginative run calls later, the Gamecocks had netted just four yards and turned the ball over on downs. Final tally: ten plays, seventy-two yards (more than half of them from that Faison run),

Sunday morning thoughts on Gamecock football, week eight: This one was doomed from the start.

After Oklahoma scored on its first drive, covering seventy-five yards in ten plays and a hair over five minutes, Carolina responded, in its way, with a sputtering drive that, after a thirty-nine–yard

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

Vance does this all the time. He posts vulgar trash that's just absurd or kitsch enough that he can later renounce it as a troll job - the fucking coward.

Well, he succeeded. He trolled me. I'm goaded beyond reason. In fact, I've never been this mad in my life. I hope you are too.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.

The American people do not bow down.

Nine of nine, rarity score of 1, Red Sox caps only.

Martínez never pitched for the big-league club. The Sox dumped him after he put up an ERA of nearly three touchdowns across a handful of innings in Pawtucket in 2022 (and before he got popped with back-to-back suspensions). K’d 200 for the Cards.

opponents are actively trying to give the game away and misses a bowl game entirely?

Who knows. I get a sense of déjà vu, sure—but of another season where Carolina regresses to mediocrity in the face of high expectations instead of exceeds low ones.

its own one-yard line (!) down just a touchdown (!) in the early goings of the fourth quarter (!)—muffs it in these upcoming games?
