The media, with marching orders likely coming from the DNC, has stopped delineating between illegal and legal immigrants. They moved from illegal to "undocumented" and now outright pretend like the current WH administration wants to deport every person who was not born in the USA.
Also, have you noticed how the word "cruel" is suddenly used ad nauseam? Enforcing the laws on the books is not "cruel" and it is actually "cruel" to law abiding, taxpaying Americans to not enforce the law.
Top-15 episode.
We haven’t heard from Buck in a few days…
Betas don’t have strong necks.
Watching the BIG championship closely as I did. The Penn State OC has Oregon on the ropes and gassed running the ball during their comeback and stupidly pissed the game away trying to be an offensive guru aka Sark.
I believe 90% the psu OC gave away a win during their comeback second half. If that happens the ducks are seeded differently and probably don’t face Ohio State until the final four.
I blame Stan Love because he was a Duck.
I always thought Judd was a recruiter and it was one of the reasons he was the top realistic guy on my board. With the holes Jimmy's no recruiting, DeBoer's limited recruiting, and the post-2023 exodus left, we had to hire someone who could TBS, and hard.
I thought his first class was a bit underwhelming but it now looks like they needed some Tim to get away from the stink of the early-2024 nightmare, develop some culture, get NIL inline, and get reads down.
Feels like if they can start winning 10+ games we could be back up to top Peterman level. Just in Tim for Judd to take another job.
My in progress takes …
Spaun isn't an unknown quantity and him getting in the Playoffs at The Players probably deserves more respect from me than I give it but The Players has always been a strange tournament that has often produced a strange leaderboard … I don't think anybody behind him is afraid of him running away with anything. I'll say that I'd be impressed if he shoots 73 or better tomorrow.
Koepka probably got more out of his round today than he played so that's encouraging for him … his round today reminded me a bit of some of the stuff I saw with Bryson around Augusta where there were some smoke and mirrors early that caught up with him eventually. Let's see how tomorrow goes as he's not really been stringing rounds together as of late in Majors.
Most impressive round for me today was Rahm … he looked to be in solid control of his game and putting himself in a position where he was having relatively low stress. I think he would take 3 more 69's and take his chances.
Also need to acknowledge that Spieth probably was unlucky today to shoot even … I'll continue to say that courses where par is a good score set up well for him as his "Seve ability" gets him out of trouble that he's going to get into on any course anyway.
Rory will be an interesting watch tomorrow as he had the Jekyll and Hyde 9's … if he's able to go shoot something like 67 or 68 tomorrow and pull himself up to +1 or +2 after 36 holes he won't be in a terrible spot come the weekend
Not surprised at all with Scottie's day as I said before the tournament … this is a course that accentuates his "weaknesses"
I still suspect that anything at or better than par will be a great number come Sunday with the forecast coming …
Today was probably the best scoring conditions that you can get.
Tomorrow will likely get a little rougher and I wouldn't be shocked to see the scoring average jump by a full shot tomorrow.
The weekend is going to have a lot of weather challenges and if it puts water on the course then you're going to get a combination of the course playing longer and the rough becoming even more of a challenge as those thick lies just get heavier and more inconsistent.
