Erk Russell is NOT in the HOF. 16 years as UGA DC. Started a team from scratch at Georgia Southern and won 3 Nattys, 83 games, a .788 win%, and a 15-0 team. Because he only had 8 years as a HC he is omitted. 37 years in College Coaching. FIX THIS!!!!!!!! #GATA#HailSouthern#DGD
Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
I played rec ball for the Western Auto. Orange and Black logo. So, our catcher’s gear matched. Cause everyone had the same orange and black catchers gear
Let me reframe this for you. This is the government questioning the government to see if the government covered up for the government in the Epstein files. Shockingly, the government told the government that the government did nothing wrong.
@SXCStatesboro@AnthonyDasher1 There are multiple coaches currently in the Hall with less than 5 years coaching experience. And they are in as coaches. It’s just them being dumb about a dumb rule that they ignored in the past and are changing for Leech now. They just need to put him on this ballot.
Erk Russell should be too. Nothing against Mike Leach. He deserves it. HOWEVER…if he’s going to be on the ballot then Erk (89-22-1) in 8 years (three IAA titles) needs to be there too. No excuse if he’s not. @NFFNetwork
@AnthonyDasher1@WTMIV@NFFNetwork It’s BS that Coach Russell is not considered! Leach is more recency bias and cause he was a viral walking sound bite. Coach Russell shouldn’t be punished cause he just won and wasn’t controversial?!?!?
This dude is like the villain at the beginning of the Spiderman movie before you find out who the actual/cool villain is. What a complete and absolute douchecanoe.
Bessent on Iran:
We have seized about $1 billion of Iran's crypto — just outright grabbed the wallets.
Some of them may be typing in right now and might not realize their wallet has been grabbed.
This is money that's stolen from the Iranian people.
Many of us who served in the military or in the federal government remember that when we visited a government contractor facility and they put out coffee and doughnuts someone in our group would grab a cup and we’d all toss in a couple of bucks to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
Now, the Trump regime laughs at the appearance of impropriety and embraces actual impropriety to shakedown government coffers for their personal enrichment.
Make corruption wrong again!
This panic about James Talarico is pure smoke and mirrors.
He is a public school teacher and seminary student whose standard Christian theology on helping the poor and protecting healthcare is being twisted into cultural heresy to scare you.
Voting for a man who actively abuses his power just because you're terrified of a phantom socialist toolbox isn't "policy over perfection"
It just makes you complicit to the corruption that is poisoning our political system. And for choosing a culture war over actual good policy, well that would just make you a coward.
@Moon_flawless_@okTerryTory@ShitpostRock2 He only spoke on it to make sure they followed the correct policy and procedure for owning humans. That literally is the authority figure sanctioning the behavior.
Bob Horner and I were destined to be teammates somewhere. I signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Arizona State before I was drafted. Bob played at ASU and ended up in Atlanta my first full year in the major leagues—1978. One way or another, it was bound to happen.
From the minute Bob Horner joined the Braves, all us players could see he was good. I mean… really good. And that swing—short and quick, x or and could turn around anybody’s fast ball. And Bob knew the strike zone. He just did not swing at a bad pitch (like I had a tendency to do a little too often…) He was a unique talent and I was very lucky to be in the lineup with him most of my career. All of my numbers were better when he was hitting behind me. And that fact is not lost on me. I know my career was better because of him.
It’s been a hard few weeks for the Braves Family losing Ted and Bobby—and now Bob. These 3 men all had such a profound impact on my career. I am forever grateful.
Nancy and I will miss Bob and our hearts go out to Chris and Trent and Tyler, along with their entire family.
The older we get, the more we cherish wonderful memories and this past month has brought a flood of them back to us. The gratitude we feel for them all has been overwhelming.
Rest well, my friend and teammate.
