OOTB's Political Thread . ..

This would ruin any other politician's career... any other celebrity's career. It won't change or even remotely affect Trump. There could be explicit photos of him with girls who were 16, 17... wouldn't make a difference at all. He's impervious to any kind of sexual misconduct. Nothing would matter to his supporters.


Just knowing him is hardly a crime.
does it occur to you at all that all you needed to say was the last sentence? Instead, you first imply that 'knowing him' IS something that should cause him to lose support. You take any inappropriate opportunity to dump your TDS bucket. And yes, you are most definitely a TDS sufferer.

OOTB's Political Thread . ..

his supporters aren't concerned with detractors making asses of themselves trying to make Trump's every gesture an act of evil. Those detractors should know by now that while they are oblivious to the reality of it all, we supporters understand and recognize the symptoms of TDS, having observed them now for years.

And before you go into the idiocy of claiming intellectual laziness in laying it all off to TDS, do yourself a favor and step back just a little and take a look. The extreme collective onslaught of defamation against Trump does not stem from normal behavior. You of course will tend to think 'well yeah, not normal behavior on Trump's part'...but that isn't what I mean at all. The only thing really abnormal about Trump's behavior is that it is so visible and open to the abnormal and unfounded hatred of those who happen to support someone else just as rabidly as any Trump supporter.

You might think each individual should be analyzed separately but we don't care enough to do that. We just lump all their insanity together as TDS and are quite happy that the shoe fits very well.
TDS is a fiction.

You've already made it clear that you're homophobic. I think you tried to walk it back by saying "I wish homosexuality didn't exist."... paraphrased, maybe. So, anytime you mention it, your prejudice is baked-in. The shame and guilt is screaming out. And, the feminine insults just piles it on even more.
as usual, you assign characteristics to someone just so you can exhibit your imagined moral superiority. You accused me of intellectual dishonesty while as per usual, you exhibit exactly what you accuse me of.

If you were intellectually honest, you would try to see what the reality is instead of creating in your mind windmills to joust. I have a healthy, normal regard for homosexuality and homosexuals and your need to mischaracterize that for your own satisfaction doesn't change that.

The funny thing about people like you who want to criticize and judge, is that you never even attempt to try to justify your criticisms, because that would reveal the reality and would defeat your goal of creating demons to rail on where no demon actually exists. You never ask questions, you just jump to the conclusions that fill your needs. 'Shame and guilt screaming out'? The only thing I'm screaming out is how psychologically strange you are.

2025 recruiting....

I fully believe, have believed for months now, I expect Denis to commit to UNC today and when he does I will support him to the best of my ability, I am just not excited with the addition. I posted early today what I did with that very notion, not the guy I would take but it isn't my call.

Just a question. How excited were you when we signed RJ Davis? IIRC, he wasn’t that highly ranked, but he obviously had that it factor that he wouldn’t be denied. Not saying he does, but maybe Denis has some of those traits too? (Notice the 2 o’s when too means also, it’s not that hard to type that extra o).

Preseason Rankings: AP vs Pomeroy

OK, so WW, my apologies right now, you know I respect you a ton but that "trained Chicken" line was the most funny thing I have ever seen gary say! It reminds me of Kevin Skinner, from I think it was AGT. They asked what he did to make a living and his reply was, "well, I was a chicken catcher for many years". The follow up question from Hassaloff was "so, how many chickens did you catch in a night"? His reply, "well I ain't a maff-a tis, I am not good at math but one guy caught 20 at a time"... Just really funny stuff!

He's been steadily climbing the rankings (now #47 on 247sports.) He's got long arms, good height, he's athletic, he's got a good 3pt shot, he has experience playing some point guard. I can't see why anyone would be down on this addition. Especially when we could literally lose most of our guards this spring.

We could easily have 8 or 9 scholarships we need to fill before next year, and as of this moment we have 1 commit.

His supporters aren't concerned with anything he does that is reviled by everyone else. In fact, it will just create stronger support for him.

It certainly looks like that now. With guys not having to sit a year to transfer,if they aren’t playing and it isn’t working out they will just transfer. I don’t see it as a big deal.

About ten years ago a kid speeding to school through the neighborhood crossed the center line and ran me off the road within sight of my house. I was in a jeep with no top. I rolled several times but didnt eject thanks to my seat belt. Unfortunately though I rolled over a pile of hurricane debris in someones yard and got the skin on my face and scalp peeled back and lost most of my ear. . So I have a nasty scar extending from top of my forehead to below my cheek. I can tell you with certainty that people treat me differently after the scar. I’m not whining about being a victim but it’s just I can tell people look at me differently. What gets old is going out to the bars and after people get lit they invariably walk up to me at random and want to comment on it.
Holy hell, dude. You definitely have a perspective that very few people ever have.

and there you go again. I didn't type even a single syllable suggesting that I thought there was anything wrong with him being gay. I was questioning if you hadn't made the same observation as Carlson simply because the man has gay written all over him. But virtue-signal away, it's not like anyone could stop you from fulfilling your emotional needs.

Denis reportedly wants $600,000…even if we can’t afford that, he’s not even worth 1/4 of that! That’s why Hubert backed off..I agree NIL is a problem right now, but a mid 4 star that might transfer after a year doesn’t deserve that!

Ty Claude Cleared to Play

I watched Claude live last year in Athens when GaTech played UGA, and Claude was a beast in offensive recounding. Granted, he didn't convert sh**, but he will rebound. He's not a 5 per se, but can be an effective role-player.
Yeah, the Blue/White game showed me, and everyone else, Claude playing with UNC talent and coached players. I looked at him thru more of a GT lens. I was just really not only surprised to an extent but very pleased to see both his level of physicality (which I place great stock in guys willing to get physical) as well as his wide open motor. When the kid steps out there he isn't trying to look cute, he puts his hard hat on and roles up his sleeves, he goes to work and if it comes down to a fight, he will fight ya (speaking in sports terms).

I know this thread is about Claude now being eligible, knew he would but was not sure if it would happen before our first regular season game. Know what this kid is, he is a really good garbage man, don't under estimate the value of a really good garbage man, a guy that is not looking to be something he ain't. For me, the ultimate garbage man and one of my favorite all time players was Dennis Rodman. While never a fan of his off court antics, that guy on any NBA roster made that team much better. No, I am not calling Claude Rodman, simply saying don't under estimate the value of a garbage man... (we are about to elect one president after all;-).
