Any chance I might have thought of Kavanagh as angry over being wrongly accused went away when he started talking about the 2016 3lection and the Clintons.

Flake (that pathetic sad-sac) said yesterday that this was all so very complex—so many different aspects to this…..No, there are not. In the absence of any other testimony, this is all very simple. One of these people is telling the truth and one of them is lying. It’s not as if Kav is arguing that he was there but didn’t do anything to Ford. It’s not as if he was arguing the details of this or that. He’s claiming that he wasn’t there at all, and she’s claiming that the face that was six inches from her face as he held his hand over her mouth was his. A clear choice…..you either believe her clear and concise description of the event or you believe the histrionic self defense that he presented, complete with angry shouting, pitiful crying and attempts to drag his own family into his self-made pity-party.
The second part of the day where the Republithugs jettisoned their imported woman prosecutor was not an attempt to find out anything from Kavenaugh. It was a naked display of how the Pugs were going jam his appointment through come hell or high water. Pure and simple.
These Republicans MUST be voted out of office. As many of them as possible. There can be no higher priority.
It also must be noted and remembered what a tremendous coward Jeff Flake has proven to be and that he should never be given any serious consideration for any elected office ever again.

The thing we are not talking about is the OSU running game which really is the wild card here I think.

‘Wild card’ is an excellent term for it. They have two experienced running backs with an improved O line. If they use the pass to open up the running game they should do well. They can’t allow PSU to fill up the ‘box’ with eight people to stop the running game and then to blitz the QB if he drops to pass.

Not to down play experience, but give me talent. I suspect Meyer agrees, which explains LSU's starting QB.

I can certainly see how you might argue for talent. You can’t teach natural ability. But even the most talented can screw that up with poor decision making. It’s like watching a freshman play as compared to a seasoned senior. A really good team can still win with an average QB who doesn’t make critical in-game mistakes, but even the most talented can lose you a game due to mental mistakes.
P.S.—The LSU QB might be a perfect example. Nobody thought that he was the best college QB that they have ever seen. And nobody would trade him for the current OSU QB. But he won that Auburn game with steady (if unspectacular) play—by not making mistakes and turning the ball over and making just enough positive plays to win.

I wouldn't have taken you for one of the punctuation police. But, sorry Driver dude really.

Well, normally I’m not. I do like the proper use of words like to (to, too, two)—or your vs. you’re. For some reason, improper use of these words just seems to catch my eye. I just figure if were going to have slagging matches we could at least keep them on a high level. You know—kind of dress it up when demeaning and tearing down your opponent. Particularly when things start slipping into the ugly zone (as they have seemed to with your lawyer pal).

I think one of the key matchups is going to be QB play Driver. My boy is a pretty good QB, but the OSU lad has been putting up Heisman numbers. Bosa being out will hurt.

PSU will put some points on the board. OSU defense has not really come together as a unit (yet)—but they do have a lot of very good athletes on that side of the ball. By seasons end they might be very scary (particularly if Bosa returns). They need to apply constant pressure on Penn State's QB.
I think you are correct about QB play. I have long maintained that the most important person on a college football team is an experienced QB (a certain talent level doesn’t hurt either). Experienced QB’s don’t make the kind of mistakes that give the other team a short field….or kill drives with offense-killing mistakes.
The question for you is going to be on defense. If they give Haskens time to throw he will pick them apart and score a lot of points.

Your a fucking joke. I read you like a dime store novel.

Well, as long as discussion of football seems to have ended we can go to one of my pet peeves…..You want to use the word you’re in this instance Cap, contraction for you are. Not your….meaning something that is of the person or belongs to the person you are speaking of.

Trump complains that China is relaxing sanctions on North Korea, for some reason. Mr “President”, you got played, dope.

    The Orange Idiot figured he would handle the Chinese leader in the same way he handled his real estate business…..invite the mark to his ultra-swank, high end golf club for a couple of days…lay a couple of free steak dinners on him…in addition to some free rounds of golf and SHAZZAM!—he’s putty in the hands of Mr. Art of the Deal…So much for that ‘plan’….Xi and his cronies were probably laughing all the way back to China.
    Of course he followed that up with a bravura performance with his now ‘good friend’ Kim in Singapore where he achieved absolutely nothing for the United States while giving the North Koreans just about everything that they wanted…..
    And finally, he was so emboldened by his self-evaluation of the Singapore meeting that he decided to appear as Putin’s bitch in Helsinki. The lowest that any American president has ever sunk to in our entire recorded history. Nice job, Donny! High five!

For The Ten I see OSU#4, Penn St, 7, Michigan 19.

Initially I was surprised by the Lion Cubs poor performance against the A. Hillbillies…..I thought “Oh good….maybe for once going to Happy Valley might not be like pulling teeth….” But then I remembered some of tOSU’s early season performances against heavy underdogs (creampuffs) in the past and I tempered my enthusiasm for the early unexpected demise of PSU. Now, I fully expect them to be their usual pain in the behinds by the 29th. They better be ready though—this QB for OSU appears to be the real deal, and paired with two experienced running backs the OSU offense is going to be very tough to handle.

The person who wrote the op-ed in the NYT is a moral coward.

Oh, I don’t know……perhaps they knew what the reaction was going to be to their ‘piece’ and they figured that they might just as well skip all that. It really wouldn’t change much for them to be identified…..some people would love them and some people would hate them and a huge number would just keep drifting along in same old fog they’ve been in ever since the Orange Ogre was elected. Would being identified make anything they said be more true….or less?

He and Skippy would probably vote for someone else just out of spite.

Well, I stand solidly behind you (so to speak)—except on Sept. 29th. If Greatest Asshole in the Forum is your goal I say go for it. It will be hard to edge out Hammy, but I believe you can do it. Goooooooooooooooo, Cargo.

I vote for me.

Sorry Cap—You’re not allowed to be so self-serving when promoting yourself as Chief Asshole. No voting for yourself in this category….you’ll have to get your lawyer friend to vote for you. Think this will this be a problem for you?

Chuck Grassley who is 3-steps off the ledge of lucidity, can speed read 42,000 pages of exhibits in a few hours.

It’s Snake-In-The-Grassleys exaggerated sense of patriotism which fuels his sometime miraculous abilities. Of course if this Republican thing falls through, he could always finance a remake of Mr. Smith Goes To Washington—with him in the supporting role as the evil Senator from 'back home' (—Iowa? Nebraska? Kansas?) who fucks over the boy scouts for cash.

Buckeyes slamming an obviously overmatched Oregon State team.

Yes—doing it on both sides of the ball, too. I figured Oregon State would be a little less cupcake-ish then their usual early season opponents, but apparently not.

TCU showing why the Buckeyes should take their game against the Frogs very seriously.

Certainly—looks like it will be a high scoring affair—made more difficult by it being a road game to Texas. It would be a good idea to shape up their ground game to try and keep that TCU offense on the sideline.

Sorry my hate isn't up to your stellar standards

Damn, Cap…..quite the slogging match that you’ve got yourself involved in…..you’re probably making Utley super envious. “How is this guy slinging shit all over the place and I’m not involved? I must be getting old…well, older anyway” Sports…..who would have thunk it?

So Trump has let it be known, through his "lawyer," that he will pardon Manafort once the Mueller investigation is over.

It would be just like the Trumpster to renege on that (just as he is being hauled out of the White House himself).

My doubt is driven by what seems to me the obvious weasel ways for Trump to deny that his hush money was really a campaign contribution.

Maybe he will allow his ace TV attorney, Rudy 'G' to come up with the explanation, since Rudy’s explanations always make sooooo much sense. Logic personified.
