It's much more obvious what would have happened if the US had stayed out of WW1. If the US stays out of WWII, it's hard to say what would have happened. Almost anything is on the table.

WVU practice facility.

The assumption around here is that this is going to be one of our worst teams of the decade.

Are you a Christian?

Did mine on 23andme. 99.5% European. Apparently .5% North African/West Asian. 37.9% French and German - North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, Saxony 20.9% British and Irish - London, Lancashire, Essex, West Yorkshire, Merseyside, Leicestershire, Tyne and Wear, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh 2.2%...

Anybody here have thoughts on protein shakes vs just shoving meat / eggs / milk down your throat? I've seen / heard both sides argued and of course your never quite sure who to believe on these types of issues. I'm not a body builder, but I do lift weights at home 3-4 times per week to help...

He's been decent on the economic part of America First. Remember, the Trans Pacific Partnership would most likely exist if Trump had not won the Republican nomination, and we would be on to negotiating one with the EU. That alone is probably worth his victory. The judges give us a bit more time...

I almost decided to root against the USA team, but once the match started I decided to pull for them. I'm sure some of the quieter team members are fine people. It wasn't even the equal pay thing that bothered me. I can't fault an employee trying to get a bit more money. What really started to...

Anything you'd recommend about Lubbock if I get down that way for a game? I've been to Austin twice and Ames once since we've been in the Big 12. I'm going to try and hit up one away game every two or three years probably. I've spent quite a bit of time in various parts of Texas (Houston...

Two things: For some rich whites it's high status to be a Democrat. The social / economic downsides of holding conservative positions might not yet outweigh the negatives for rich whites of a Democratic regime. For young whites who are social losers, I can see how it would make sense to side...

Is it true that Texas Tech has the fans that everyone in the Big 12 hates the most? That's what I keep hearing at WVU games. We were of course the dark sheep of the Big East, but I'm not sure how the Big 12 fans perceive us. They all seem pretty nice when they show up. Certainly a lot less...

Vandy wins. I had to laugh nervously as they were describing the hardships of one Vandy relief pitcher. Dad abandoned the family. Drove his passed out mom to hospital at 13. She dies of cancer. Something bad happened with new family. 2nd new family finds out he's reading at 3rd grade level and...

The black pill in the poll is that the % who supported "gay rights" hasn't budged. Young people are just less personally comfortable around them. It may be that gays are starting to be viewed more like blacks, in that everyone supports "civil rights" but most people are wary of the excesses that...

The way I remember it Creed was very popular with teenage girls who attended church, but they were a "spiritual" not a Christian band. Scott Stapp had grown up Christian, but he had rejected that belief for "spirituality" in general. They were into American Indian spirits and stuff like that...

I'd recommend you read the book Tell Your Kids the Truth referenced above before deciding if weed is no worse than alcohol. It may be a cause of everything from school shootings to our confused sexuality. It turns out there's good evidence that Reefer Madness is real.

An even bigger drop when you consider that in 2017 the % for 18-34 yr olds was 63%. A drop of 18% in 2 years. The generation that deals the most with homosexuals up close is starting to see why every society in history requires the closet to keep them in check.

Good news on the horizon? https://news.yahoo.com/young-americans-increasingly-uncomfortable-lgbtq-191412250.html “The percentage of non-LGBTQ adults reporting being ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ comfortable with LGBTQ people across seven scenarios remained stable,” the new results show. (That’s a group...

Yeah, I'm sure the upgrade to first class on a flight to Paris for fashion week is massively more than $1500.

When it comes to racial politics there are two reasons to "screw over" the other side. One is based on legitimate interests. I don't begrudge anybody seeking to support their legitimate interests. Whites segregating schools or blacks seeking affirmative action fall into this category. Then you...

Artie Lange says that if you have to leave the room with prostitutes in your house that you make them clap their hands until you return.

Michigan over Texas Tech and Vandy with a 9th inning comeback over Louisville to set up the College World Series Championship Round. The key to growing college baseball into a major sport will be involving big time programs with massive existing fanbases for football and basketball in the...

A lot of the appeal of baseball games are cool stadiums in hip parts of town. Especially in getting the casual fans out to multiple games per year. I've been to both Olympic Stadium in Montreal (not for an Expos game) and a Rays game at the Trop. Both stadiums definitely lacked in those...

Prohibition does work to decrease certain activities assuming the police are active in prosecuting the crime. Do you think prostitution would happen more if there were legal brothels in every town? Would there be more or less driving at unsafe speeds if we eliminated speed limits on interstates...
