@JakeCrain_ 2019 LSU @ Alabama, no question. Close second would be the 2016 Clemson v. Alabama National Championship.

What’s one game that if you had a Time Machine you would go back and watch?

never forget what the jacobins did to Louis XVII, he was just a child when they tortured him, he was only 10 when he died, and keep in mind this is just what wikipidia is willing to have up, imagine how much worse the full truth is.

@LSUReport As the commissioner would say, ASSAULT

Your mom is the craziest thing I’d do to guarantee a natty, Jake.

@BackThenFB @bakermayfield @TimTebow @Jaboowins @JManziel2 @JoeyB @_bryce_young @MichaelVick @TouchdownTommie For college, not NFL, it has to be Burrow, Cam, and Tebow. There's an argument for Manziel, but I think Tebow gets the edge.

@Sachinettiyil Unbelievably based. Love to see this.

Archbishop Alexander King Sample of Portland has instructed that the St. Michael Prayer be recited in churches across the archdiocese after Mass.

@piecemealTemp @Strangeland_Elf I'm willing to concede the Hobbit movies relying on too much CGI, but unless you're (unreasonably) asking for 100% practical effects, the LotR movies have the best blend of practical and cgi effects of any movie. The movies are far from tedious too, in fact they leave out a lot.

@Strangeland_Elf Dude no. LoTR movies are excessively melodramatic theater kid garbage, excessively cgi, and tedious. I know there's a huge fanbase for them but I just don't get it. There has yet to be a good LoTR adaptation.

I grew up watching The Sound of Music. Good movies are good movies. Not to mention everyone in my generation was watching the original Star Wars. And the LotR films have aged better and have better acting than those.

Pubs were in England before mosques. Maybe the mosques should move and leave the pubs alone.

One reason many Catholics no longer go to confession frequently is that the sacrament subtly drifted from “confession and absolution” toward “spiritual counseling.” Most Catholics are willing to accuse themselves of sins briefly and regularly. Fewer are willing to enter into an extended personal conversation every few weeks. The traditional confessional, the screen, brevity, clarity, and sacramental reserve all lowered the barrier to grace. The sacrament felt objective, medicinal, and accessible rather than emotionally burdensome. Confession is not primarily therapy or spiritual direction. It is sacramental mercy.

@Blain_Crain Derrick Henry, I would think

Who’s the greatest player in ALABAMA football history? Let’s hear it. 🐘👇

@Blain_Crain Tyrann Mathieu, Justin Jefferson, Billy Cannon, or Gelnn Dorsey would be my picks if not for one guy. Personally, #1 has gotta be the main man, Joe Burrow.

@JoshPateCFB That's our commissioner

Here’s a third scenario the consultant firm AI bot that generated your either/or reply didn’t tell you… “Run your organizations in a fiscally responsible manner on the front end ”

@TaylorRMarshall @MargoCatholic Honestly, Quik Trip has been my gas station of choice. Short lines, clean premises, and cold brew on tap is great.

@MargoCatholic Have you been to one in the last few months?

Buccees has fallen. It was once a unique glamorized gas station with clean restrooms. Now it's a crowded third-world stopover with long lines. Ratchet-coded.

@PGuy77 This is what they want to take from us. I understand the coaches wanting a bigger playoff format job security, but the people actually making the decisions really just treat the playoffs and CFB like an ATM, as @JoshPateCFB would say.

Thinking about what the 24-team playoff would’ve done to the 2007 season gives me tremendous sorrow. So many colossal upsets. So much chaos. We were on the edge of our seats for four hours in that triple overtime lost to Arkansas. Not because LSU wanted a better seed in the playoffs - but because that game was the championship - or so we thought. The loss was emotionally. Devastating for LSU fans. As were losses for each of the teams lined up to go to the championship who fell opening the road for LSU. West Virginia fans still talk about the backyard brawl as if it were a tragic life event. And that made, the magical run to the national championship that Moooore special. With a 24 – team playoff, that season goes from magical to mundane. Playoff expansion takes the magic of the entire regular season, and gives it to a handful of games in January. As someone who truly loves college football and thinks it’s by far the greatest sport in America, I genuinely hope and pray this playoff expansion does not happen.

The Egyptian sorcerers who confronted Moses were able to transform a wooden staff into a serpent. That was not by the power of God. And it certainly wasn’t by an ordinary human power. It was an effect with a particular cause: namely, human and demonic will. Cooperating. Commingled. Demons are “natural” creatures, meaning, they are part of nature. They are NOT supernatural. Only God is supernatural. But because of the power of their angelic intellects (which are far superior to ours), they possess a knowledge of nature no human being can ever hope to match. This knowledge gives them great power over the forces of nature, IF God permits them to exercise it, since—particularly since the Incarnation, death, and Resurrection of Christ—their actions are strictly limited by God, who through the blood of His son purchased the full rights to man and his fallen nature, which He then brought back to spiritual life through grace. We are assured by Scripture that Satan and his minions will be restrained by Christ’s redemptive work in the first century (Apoc. 20:1-3)—allowing the building up of the Church on earth and in heaven (Apoc. 20:4-6)—but they will no longer be restrained sometime near the end (Apoc. 20:7-10), followed by the Day of Judgment (Apoc. 20:11-15). We are also assured in numerous places in Scripture—particularly by Christ in His teachings on the binding of the “strong man”—that when once a previously bound demonic force is unleashed, it comes back WORSE than before (apostasy is always far worse than simple unbelief). Before Christ, the “strong man” transformed a wooden staff into a serpent. Then Christ bound him. The result was the transformation of Egypt itself into a fortress of the Catholic Faith. Magic and sorcery were severely weakened. The atmosphere was cleared of demonic entities (as St. Athanasius observed in “Incarnation of the Word”). The demonic oracles went silent. Pagan altars fell. Catholic altars rose. The sign of the cross, the Eucharist, the sacraments, sacramentals, relics of the saints, and the priesthood pushed back the forces of demonism and idolatry that had dominated the majority of the earth since ancient times. The result was the dramatic conversion of the chief of pagan empires, and the spread of the Catholic Faith to the most remote parts of the earth—even despite the sins, failures, and corruptions that from time to time infected the Church’s priests and laity. But at some point, Christ will once more loose the “strong man” on earth, and we can be assured that what results next will be far worse than a staff being transformed into a serpent. As in, “with all power and with pretended signs and wonders” (2 Thess. 2:9) worse. That is not to make you afraid. It is to make you aware of what we know by the testimony of the Scriptures and our Fathers is both possible, and assured. Even as this loosing takes place, the Church Triumphant is bigger and more populated than ever before. The moment it receives a new soul in a state of grace, it will NEVER get any smaller. The bounds of its empire never cease to expand. And as the fortunes of the Church Militant dip into catastrophe, the Church Triumphant will be at Her greatest and most resplendent, all the more ready to descend to inaugurate the New Heavens and the New Earth under the eternal reign of Christ the King—fully God, and fully man (to the great chagrin of the fallen “non-human intelligence”).

@JoshPateCFB I think a lot of them do still hate that culture, just that most of them like their jobs more. Unfortunately, we've made the playoffs the end goal of the season. More teams in, more coaches can keep theor jobs.

Surely I haven't listened to coaches trash participation trophy culture for a decade only to watch them attempt building one for themsevles

@PGuy77 Tim Brando usually has some good takes, but unfortunately, it seems like he's on the wrong side of this one. There is no world where going 8-4 should get you a playoff spot. 24 team playoff is a garbage take.

8-4 teams making the playoff is the real garbage take. College football is special because it’s the one true sport where every game matters. We lose a little more of that with every playoff expansion. We’ve already seen the effects of it. We had a #1 vs. #2 matchup in the Big Ten Championship, and it barely mattered because both teams were safely in either way. College football is at its best when elite teams face real stakes every single week of the season. At the end of the season the only games that really matter are the mediocre teams with 3-4 losses fighting to be cannon fodder. Thats gross.

@TradVat2 LDS are all horribly ill-informed. I don't even bother dealing with them in matters of "theology" as they don't present serious arguments and typically only seek to feign a brotherhood with Christians that simply does not exist. Whole lot of people duped by an evil scam artist

You are simply uninformed. This question is deep lore. It doesn't mean what you think it means. The real ones--people familiar with the historical record surrounding the claim--know why I asked them to give me a month, a day, and a year for the event. As a small primer: (1) there is NO contemporaneous historical account of this miraculous ordination; (2) JS first started circulating the account in 1835 (give or take), to the shock of many of his early followers who had never heard such an account; (3) it was at a time JS was deliberately retconning concepts of priesthood and priesthood offices to consolidate power against challenges to his authority; (4) it involved documented retroactive edits to his "revelations" to add the such visions (like the John the Baptist one, which DOES have a month, date, and year) into LDS "scriptures" that didn't have them up to that time; (5) the historical record demonstrates a complete absence of hierarchical priesthood offices or even a concept of such hierarchy until much later; (6) JS was actually ordained to the "high priesthood" in 1831 by one of his followers; (7) stories about visions of Peter, James, and John tried to place the event in the summer of 1830 (if I recall), but this can't work because it is AFTER April 6, 1830 (the date the LDS church was organized, and which they believe Smith HAD to have the higher priesthood BEFOREHAND in order to organize the church), and so on and so forth. Lots more to it, but don't assume you know why I asked the question.

@TaylorRMarshall Disgusting and disgraceful. We've sacrificed the sacred and beautiful at the altar of "progress."

This is divine judgment. It should make us sad. “Dollar Tree”

@JakeCrain_ Among current coaches, I'd say it has to be Lane Kiffin, Charlie Weiss Jr, or Steve Sarkisian. Definitely a lot of really good ones, but these three are the most consistent. If I had to pick one, it would be Lane.
