I will lol when you guys get donkey punched out of the playoff. Sucks you lost your QB, I don't see you winning without him. Maybe against Louisville this weekend but certainly not against one of the contenders. For the record...the all time record between FSU and Miami still favors Miami...oh and those pesky FIVE rings (should be seven but that is my quibbling) As football winds down we move to BBall. Miami off a Final Four appearance started the year 5-0 and is currently ranked #8. We also stole your best player in the portal Matthew Cleveland...man that's gotta suck. I hope you guys keep Leonard Hamilton forever, so glad we dumped him. All these years and he can't get you past the Sweet 16 and you are on a downward trajectory finishing #12 in the ACC last year...BAHAHAHA...that's gotta hurt.

Haven't invested the time to care...

Spent the last two days completing my company's DEI and Microaggression training. I am now prepared to employ microinclusion...oddly I still hate Navigators.

Looks like some leadership folks at Minot picked sides and implied negative career action should you attend a Charlie Kirk rally...supposedly it was corrected. Critics bash Minot AFB after airmen told to avoid conservative rally

Completely agree. Also think a well organized group of federal law enforcement officers would have ended that situation very quickly.

Hinting at employing the military implies some sort of martial law...seriously bro, that is ungood. I agree the optic of allowing the riots go on and federal property to be attacked and burned is very bad. That being said, there were more than enough federal assets to employ without rolling in the military. The federal government certainly has a responsibility to protect the citizens and federal property but even hinting at employing the military is 3rd world banana republic type stuff. If they didn't have enough Marshalls, FBI, ATF and other federal officers perhaps they could use the Guard under Title 32 but even hinting at the active duty military is complete and utter non-sense.

My wife and son say the same thing about me, my wife can't believe it, especially with my propensity to overlook chores around the house "how did you see that?" The product of playing Pop Warner, high school and college football. RPO has made the game even faster and I am glad the refs have kept up. I was reading some game analytics the other day. The average high school QB has 4 seconds to throw the ball, the average college QB has 3 seconds and the average NFL QB has 2.2 seconds. I thought about volunteer coaching at my son's school but my work travel has been stupid the past year, maybe when I retire.

Trump hints at expanded role for the military within the US. A legacy law gives him few guardrails So much NO here...

Shocking how good some of those guys are and what they see in the blink of an eye. Still, I am glad the system is there, I don;t ever want a game decided on a bad call.

Haven't seen Miami players spitting in anyone's face, but in addition to spitting I did see a couple of Florida players spear FSU's QB on the ground.

Just when I think we've seen it all the Florida Gators set a new low by spitting in the face of an opponent. Filthy animals.

Slife...He has envisioned a special ops support squadron and harvested manpower from the ops squadrons to do it. When it came time for the AC-130 folks to pony up more folks the gunner union pushed back and said they needed the extra body to run the 105...Slife HATES the gunship and used that issue to remove the 105 and harvest the manpower.

As I understand it this was not a pre-planned strike. The AC-130 was patrolling and noticed the launch, they followed the smoke trail back and conducted a self-defense strike.

Big ole Karma punch. Now if Mike Norvell will just take the job in College Station all will be right in the ironic world.

A tour of the old neighborhoods and clearly a message.

The thread has devolved into a broader discussion on divesting older platforms in the name of making difficult choices given current threats which may be true but is NOT the case with the potential 105MM removal. It will actually COST money to take the 105MM off the gunship. This is a punitive decision made by a cud eating lunatic and endorsed by his caustic clown-penis puppet. It started as an exercise to harvest ops manpower for functions that have nothing to do with SOF core competencies. With regard to divesting other legacy platforms I certainly agree that in many cases it makes sense given the capabilities of 5th and 6th gen platforms. We make fun of Fat Amy but the simple fact is in the air to air realm, if the Raptors and Fat Amy are playing it is an unfair fight, as it should be. The problem is our single-minded focus on this one mission...yes we have a duty to kick down doors and project airpower and national policy, but we also have a sacred duty to protect those on the ground. Luckily the benefit of our 5th and 6th gen capabilities extends to stopping an enemy air force but it is myopic to think it ends there. I am sorry but a cloaked up Lightning with 181 rounds of 25MM and a couple GBUs does not replace an A-10. When all is said and done we are spending a TRILLION dollars on Fat Amy, perhaps I am a dinosaur but I think we can part with a few $ to find away to provide CAS for future generations.

Draco has done many incredible things through the years, much of it unrecognized. A toast to them for some much deserved recognition.

SpaceX continues to advance the ball down the field. A few minutes ago they successfully launched Starship. It appears Starship reached space and will continue around the glob before re-entering near Hawaii. The booster was not so lucky as it had a "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" after the hot stage separation. SpaceX continues to outpace the traditional defense government sponsored primes.

He currently is the HAF/A3....BUT has been nominated to be VCSAF. Waiting on Tuberville and the Sentate.

True but thank god she has that fine ass IYKYK)...especially given the history of the B-2 and her rear end. One ass hat senior general fell on his sword saying the B-2 "might" have to go low which led to a complete redesign, years of delay with massive cost overruns and a paltry fleet size of 21.

Your link is bad and might not be the SOAR. The NYTimes article says MH-60 and special forces but the U.S. Navy operates a small fleet of MH-60R/S helos that support ASW and SOF. Regardless, a sad day.

They owe Jimbo $76M which they will likely negotiate down a bit but still a nice payoff to be an asshole, hell I do it for free everyday on this forum. I am all about loyalty, in sport and in life and watching Jimbo and Kelly do two programs dirty was sickening...even though I can't stand either program. Football coaches shaped my life and helped my success, I know everyone wants to get paid but at what cost to everyone else. Jimbo will be paid out by private donors so it won't hurt the school except for recruiting and another 5 years of mediocrity while they try to rebuild and suffer as you noted above.
