But does that disqualify us from making fun of him for it?
Geez, macd. The season starts tomorrow. McGregor just threw you a perfect comedic alley-oop and you fumbled it off your face out of bounds. Have you been working on your game at all in the offseason?
Screw you, you cul-de-sac doofus.
Is that better?

Not a GT fan, but Georgia is Georgia, and I as a team in Georgia, I wish GT would move on from Paul Johnson.
It's nowhere near as simple as just saying, "Uh get rid of CPJ." Saban couldn't win under GT's administration.
AJCTech wants to keep Johnson. That might not be an option
The belief is that Todd Stansbury, Georgia Tech’s athletic director, doesn’t want to fire his football coach. Events, however, aren’t cooperating. The Yellow Jackets are 3-4. The only Power 5 team they’ve beaten is Louisville, which might be the worst Power 5 team.
It’s still possible, at least mathematically, that Tech could win its division, though it has three ACC losses. (No other Coastal team has that many.) But still: A coach at a Power 5 school cannot have three losing seasons in four and expect any reservoir of job security.
The belief is that 5-7 would leave Stansbury hanging. A 4-8 season might be enough to force his hand; a 6-6 year, while nothing to celebrate unless the sixth victory is over Georgia, would surely mean that Paul Johnson returns for 2019. (Assuming he wants to be back.) But there could be a bigger issue than W’s, or the lack thereof.
Tech lost Saturday to Duke for the fourth time in five seasons. Last month, Stansbury conceded in an email to supporters that Tech has “slowly fallen behind our competition in terms of the resources needed to assist our student-athletes and coaches when they line up week-in and week-out against programs that have those resources.” That’s true when the opponents are Clemson and Georgia. But can we say that Duke football has, resource-wise, lapped Georgia Tech?
Owing to the two-year extension Stansbury granted Johnson last spring, Johnson’s contract runs through 2022. At the rate he’s going, it’s hard to imagine him getting to 2020.
There was a time when Johnson could take his 3-stars and, to use Stansbury’s phrase, “fight above their weight class.” That hasn’t happened as much lately. These next five games should serve as Johnson’s closing argument. If he wins three, he figures to keep his job. If he doesn’t, it could force Stansbury to do something he doesn’t want to do.

CBS News -- 2018Colorado votes to abolish slavery after proponent receives burning campaign fliers
Colorado voters have approved changing the language in the state constitution so that it no longer allows slavery as a form of punishment. The vote came a day after someone left a pile of burning pamphlets on the front porch of the ballot measure's leading proponent.
CBS Denver reports that Amendment A passed, which means Article II, Section 26 of Colorado's constitution will be changed.
It had read: There "shall never be in this state either slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
It will now read: "There shall never be in this state either slavery or involuntary servitude."

No idea but i like it here. Of course if everyone comes over from hs then i won't like it so much. Be selective who you tell Soth!
BTW, i'm thinking you were right about the volt. I'm already tiring of it. Was watching the Nuggets game thinking "damn their unis and court are nice"

In fairness, there's only like 1 or 2 dudes from HS that are super annoying ... and I'm one of 'em so ....
Maybe the site is still up, we're all just bann'd?
If it is ded, we should have a funeral. Let sapphron give the eulogy.
On the volt, I think the issue is the uniform design and not necessarily the color scheme. The Nuggets have some of the best uniforms in the league IMEO.

I just don't understand the joy of beating the same dead horse agenda over and over like some folks at hs, who shall remain nameless, like to do. I mean you don't see me bringing up that horrible Kyrie trade that the Cavs blew over and over again. I mean really. Could that have been any worse?
