@PJSobkowski Also, this could have an impact on kids staying at a school vs transferring. Almost all professional sports leagues have a playoff for the top 25% college football essentially will that too.
@PJSobkowski I’m not a hater of this and seem to be minority. There are upsets within top 25 all the time, greater atmosphere/ experiences for college students (including athletes) and as a fan more likely to feel like you have a chance.
I hope I'm wrong.
But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.
Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.
I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.
But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.
Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.
But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.
I hope I'm wrong.
🚨JUST IN: #Ravens superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk — saying celebrating the death of anyone is awful.
“Celebrating the death of someone you don't share the same beliefs as is wild. Seeing it play out in real time is disgusting”
Charlie Kirk, a name synonymous with having the courage to speak what you believe and seek/welcome conversations with those whom you disagree with.
I’m not a political person but I am a proud American citizen and today was startling, saddening, and maddening all at the same time.. I’ve realized that I’m a bit naive to how crazy it all has become but watching a man get hunted and slayed in broad daylight because of his opinions made me disgusted and devastated.
This can’t be what we actually are or become as a country.. I believe that the good people will always outnumber the evil people but damn… today was an alarming day in our country’s history.
2 kids lost a dad.. a wife lost a husband.. and societal discourse lost a voice.
RIP @charliekirk11.. I send my prayers, thoughts, and love to his family and friends.
@PJSobkowski Gotcha. I understand what you’re saying now. I can get behind that. I didn’t quite interpret the stats so bluntly but I certainly can see it that way too. Have you read any of the opinions from the controversial cases last week?
@PJSobkowski Wouldn’t the argument be the exact same if the lean was 6-3 the other way? I don’t maybe I am over simplifying this. I haven’t read the decisions so I’m not giving an opinion but most issues before the Supreme Court probably could fall either way.
@PJSobkowski When I read the statistics what I take from it is that the Supreme Court isn’t quite as split on all issues like the media makes them out to be. I guess the statistic is misleading because political/ moral issues are mostly following where the politics seem to lie but
🏈 46-6 JC varsity football win on Friday night.
🏈 170+ K-6th kids for JC flag football practice at the high school this afternoon.
🏈 Close to 60 playing JC 5th/6th grade tackle football at the middle school this afternoon also.
🏈 Football is growing in JC
Would you believe in the year Hank Aaron passed away, the @braves won 44 games before the All-Star break, 44 games after the break, and won the World Series the 44th week of the year. Aaron, of course, wore #44. Maybe the Braves had a secret weapon after all.
@DangeRussShaw Respectfully, I don’t understand the argument of extra games on unpaid bodies. They have the choice to not play, most are on free housing, free food, and free tuition. The extra games is likely less than three games. 6 of the teams won’t even play one extra game.
