Bandwagoning the Aztecs now that they've beaten BSU?

Glad to have you back, though...one thing the BTPCF forum has been lacking is some good MWC threads.

Bandwagoning? LMAO.....my family's had 8 people graduate from there since my Grandfather. Uncle was on the board and built that student housing that's right next to the arena before he died.
Hell......my kid saw Strasburg pitch almost every home game his last season because we were living right down the street and could walk to the games

So?



Bring that shite to BTPCF and you'll probably gert runnd because you weren't here propping them during spring drills.

Shit....I didn't even know I still had an active nic here until today...took me forever to remember the password. Only checked in to see what the post-Apocalypse-day threads were looking today.
Guess if the Aztecs keep winning we could have them and BYU here for the Poinsettia Bowl. One Cougar Hater here ready for that game, if so

[Mikey]

I became a lifelong Aztecs fan when Marshall Faulk went for 386 against UoP.

I follow them closely every year they go to a bowl game.

Why? Because the Republicans shot themselves in the foot. Look at the demographics of the country and look at the results. Republicans were trying to show how tough they were on immigration, Romney was one of the more rational ones with his "let them self-deport" comment, and gosh what a surprise Hispanics voted for the other guy. Then of course the war on women -- yes, it exists, and yes, women also voted for Obama. Also, young people voted for Obama, for reasons that included marriage equality and being pro-choice on the issue of abortion.

Overall, it was a clear victory for progressives and a clear defeat for conservatives.

Republicans have to decide whether they want to be relevant again, and if so, then they will have to take a hard look in the mirror. A party cannot alienate large segments of the population like it does and win.

Bulllshit! We gonna own this bitch in four years! Where's the tea party at these days? They need some scratch?

Sin,

I don't like the guy's policies, and I am concerned about how badly he can fuck up the country in the next four years. But the People voted him into office again, and I accept that. Let's get all this political shit behind us and actually fix the problems here. The Fiscal Cliff being the first priority.

[Screw_Michigan]

Woah! Rack John Boehner!

“If there’s a mandate in yesterday’s [election] results it’s a mandate for us to find a way to work together on the solutions to the challenges that we all face as a nation,” Boehner said in a speech at the Capitol on Wednesday.

These challenges, Boehner said, include the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts at the end of the year, automatic defense spending cuts, the debt limit increase and the expiration of the continuing resolution that’s keeping the government running without a formal budget.

He insisted that House Republicans are willing to work with the president to avoid the so-called “fiscal cliff.”

“Mr. President, this is your moment,” Boehner said. “We’re ready to be led not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans. We want you to lead not as a liberal or a conservative, but as the president of the United States of America. We want you to succeed. Let’s challenge ourselves to find the common ground that has eluded us.”

I think Boehner is being sincere but the problem has been convincing his Republican counterparts to go along with any compromise he and Obama work out. Let's hope both sides are willing to compromise and get down to the business of running the country.

[Truman]

The lad's got talent. I don't suppose you've dropped him a link to this shithole, have you? Just the kind of spirit we need.

'Course, somebody would probably call him a cunt, and after posting an "I'm leaving here" thread, he'd take a week to leave...

[Left Seater]

Uhhh, Scott might want to let your NYC friend know that the city is still running Sandy shelters in all 5 boroughs. Anyone that is freezing in the city is doing so because they want to. You could also tell him to take it up with his local union hacks who sent away more southern non-union linemen on Monday.

I understand he might not have agreed with the campaign spending but why should he be entitled to any of it? Plenty of us have made monetary donations post Sandy.

Also where is his sense of self responsibility? When natural disasters happen we should look to ourselves first to solve our non ER room issues.

For real. Most of us (those who vote Republican anyhow) would have gone into the woods to harvest enough trees to run utility lines directly from our house to a working power station down in Dixie.

[M Club]

Figures you'd read Dixie and suddenly start masturbating. I was actually just referencing the fact the Northeast was having issues getting the power back up. Any other dumbfuckery you need addressed?

[smackaholic]

Where the fukk is the national guard/reserves?

I am not talking about just NJ and NY guard. I am sure they are there. We could have a dozen states guards/reserves there, myself included.

I am in a SeaBee unit. A mobilized construction crew. WTF are we not in the middle of this shit with our heavy equipment/lectrishuns/builders/etc. It's not like we don't have the money. Every fukking year we fly the entire battalion down to gulfport and play army in the woods for a few weeks. Why not set up camp in the middle of this mess and actually put our real skills to use, which is construction, not shooting M-16s.

Don't have the answer, but it might have something to do with local construction contractors bristling over not getting the work in favor of having SeaBees do it. I worked on the SeaBee base in Port Hueneme (or Port Who-needs-me, as the haytahs refer to it) for 18 yrs, and almost all the construction done on the base was performed by private contractors. Seemed stupid to me, since the SeaBees stationed there could've done it. But apparently there was an agreement between the Feds and local gov't that base construction work would be contracted out. I know the circumstances you're talking about are different, and there likely is no such agreement in place. I'm just trying to think of a reasonable explanation why you're not there with your unit "in the middle of this shit" rather than polluting this fine forum, and not coming up with anything.

racks to Boehner, I only hope he's sincere about this.....Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter....we're all Americans and it's time to put away the divisive political agendas and work together to get our fiscal house in order.....first order of business is to kick Timothy Geithner to the curb and find a new Secretary of the Treasury....Erskine Bowles would be a decent choice as he seems to get along with both Republicans and Democrats.....if Obama wants to look to the republican side, Robert Zoellick or Kevin Warsh would be good picks.....Obama needs to put partisanship aside and pick the best person regardless of his political leanings.....that's the first step towards bipartisanship

Geithner is a fucking douchebag, and the sooner that asshat is gone the better off we'll be

first time i've seen a lib actually have something bad to say about one of barry's crew.

still trying to figure out how the hell a known tax cheat gets the keys to treasury?

J-j-j-just re-re-recently, I su-su-su-suppose.

Maybe it's like when they hire a hacker to catch other hackers, because he knows all the tricks?

dude, I'm fucking sick of the partisan bullshit and political hackery that is stunting the growth of this country.....obama needs to quit spending money and find some people that are interested in fixing the economic problems in this country.....I don't care if it's a republican or a democrat, just find somebody that knows what the fuck they're doing and lets get our fiscal house in order......Boehner took the first step toward compromise and he sounds sincere....the dems need to step up.....

first order of business should be for obama to jettison all of the dead weight in his cabinet and find some people that really want to turn it around.....

obama should be handing Geithner his walking papers as we speak....

[smackaholic]

dude, I'm fucking sick of the partisan bullshit and political hackery that is stunting the growth of this country.....obama needs to quit spending money and find some people that are interested in fixing the economic problems in this country.....

bullshit.

Obama has failed at everything other thanspending money and blaming others for being a complete failure at everything other than getting some old perv in a bunker in pakistan whacked.

so, which is it, are you being disingenuous or just a fukking moron?

[Left Seater]

Fail. Union membership hardly equates to skills.


But just for the sake of those poor people without power for multiple weeks, don't you think they would rather have power even if it took the non-union crew an extra 4 minutes to complete?

[mvscal]

Let's get all this political shit behind us and actually fix the problems here.

Personally, I'm looking forward to four more years of Congressional gridlock. Nothing makes me more nervous than idiots in Congress getting together to "fix things." You know...like healthcare?

[Dinsdale]

Non-union linemen are inherently less skilled.

First... you're using yet ANOTHER word that doesn't mean what you think it does.

Next -- any sort of data to back that up?

Ever worked in the trades, dumbass? Anyone who thinks a non-union tradesman is "inherently" less skilled than their union counterparts obviously hasn't, and obviously has their head up some democrat's ass.

As a person who actually works in the trades... I can absolutely assure you, beyond any doubt, that you're wrong.

In fact, while they're generally equal, union tradesmen can fuck up a bunch more, and retain job security... which they take full advantage of.

Where the two groups differ radically is getting the job done. Go hang out on a jobsite (which you obviously never have) on a thursday afternoon (assuming it's 4 10's, or a friday if it's 5 8's), and take note of who is staring at their watch doing nothing for the last half of the day. You don't even need to ask if anyone is union -- it's pretty obvious.

[Truman]

This. I network with a group of tradesmen, Dins, many of whom got their start in the union.

Instead of trading their freedom for comfort and security, and subjecting themselves to the political gamesmanship that is a hallmark of union membership, these guys embraced American entrepreneurialism and ventured out on their own to start their own businesses. And they’re thriving. Bigtime. Makes a BIG difference when you’ve got skin in the game...

[Moving Sale]

As a person who actually works in the trades...

Shoveling shit and sticking square headed deck screws up your ass is not "working in the trades" you bugeyed fuckdoughnut.
