Don't want this to get political but trying to be proactive. With tariffs on the horizon, what should the average consumer buy now vs holding on for later in the year?

Maybe cars if you know you will be on the market? Electronics/TVs/Computers. Feels like those are the obvious ones. Anything else I should be thinking about?

Laying off employees… could be the end!

Micah Hudson was just seen on campus. That part is fact but no idea what it means. Let the speculation start........

Utah @ Houston

Kansas @ TCU

KState @ BU

Utah. Is. ASS.

Hey everyone,

We own a business and I have noticed over the years that the Google reviews are becoming more and more important. (Even bots and competitors see the value in dropping negative reviews)

So, I thought I would start this thread for business owners to post their businesses and RRS users leave reviews. It takes less than 30 seconds.

Please post a link to your company in the thread, a quick two sentence synopsis about your company and a couple buzz words that people can use if they want to say anything in the review (you can just leave a blank 5 star review as well, very quick).

Edit - I will like your post when I have left a review.

I'm betting this preacher:

As of yesterday, we are six months out from Election Day. Figure we need a new thread to bring in some new posters with some refreshing takes! Let's not run them off right way NYC and RRR, give them a chance to partake.

Who will win the worst Presidential Election in the history of our great nation?



Unless there is a serious slip up, not just one of his usual gaffes by Biden, I think he wins. I just don't see how Trump with his half a dozen trials he's in, wins.

Do you think we will win a natty (football) in your lifetime?

Happy College Basketball Eve, everyone! Just like previous years, this thread will have general discussions of Big 12 and college basketball, schedule and standings updates, highlights, and whatever.

I didn’t see anything started for basketball specifically.

I can delete if we are going to continue using the same thread as we did football tickets.

I do know of two West Lot parking passes that are available for the whole men’s basketball season if anyone needed them.

Edit: Parking passes have both sold

Here is my story on one of the state's highest upside offensive tackles.

Why does this matter you might ask? Hopefully this means redraidersports dot com can be in attendance, as it was much too difficult to pull off last year in Vegas.

It may be behind a pay wall, but this is the SI Top 25.

https://www.si.com/college-football/sports-illustrateds-2025-way-too-early-college-football-top-25

Here's the capsule on Tech:

22. Texas Tech Red Raiders​

Assessing the programs that hit the transfer portal heavily can be a challenge, but anyway you strike it, the Red Raiders are one of this offseason’s big winners. Joey McGuire is adding 17 transfers, including seven former four-stars, making for arguably the best transfer class in the country. Adding that talent on both sides of the ball, along with returning an experienced quarterback in redshirt senior Behren Morton could help Texas Tech climb out of the muddled Big 12 middle and into position for an automatic bid. As always, expect the Red Raiders, who ranked ninth in total offense in 2024, to put a lot of points on the board.

Regardless of partisan leaning or training in the law, all U.S. citizens should read and consider these two simple sentences from Section 3:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 3 is no anachronism or relic from the past; rather, it applies with the same force and effect today as it did the day it was ratified—as does every other provision, clause, and word of the Constitution that has not been repealed or revised by amendment.

Section 3 requires no legislation, criminal conviction, or other judicial action in order to effectuate its command. That is, Section 3 is “self-executing.”

Section 3 is “expansive and encompassing” in what it regards as “insurrection or rebellion” against the constitutional order and “aid and comfort to the enemies” of the United States.

The bottom line is that Donald Trump both “engaged in” “insurrection or rebellion” and gave “aid or comfort” to others engaging in such conduct, within the original meaning of those terms as employed in Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment. If the public record is accurate, the case is not even close. He is no longer eligible to the office of Presidency, or any other state or federal office covered by the Constitution.

Absolutely absurd. Paraphrased “I’m pardoning them, but not because they did anything wrong..”

Biden used he’s last 30 days to solidify how much of a chump he has been over his 5 decades of office. Thanks for killing the progressive movement tho

Ludwig at minus 3 and has just driven the 12th in first round at The Sentry. T-11th.

If it’s already started, a thousand pardons.

The GOP is at an historical and precarious crossroads. Lifelong Republican here. Never liked Trump as a person. Could even say I despised him as a person and even argued with other republicans on here adamantly two years ago about how he was going to tear apart the party and lose the next election with his antics, and that turned out to be true.

That said, I 100% got the appeal and supported the vast majority of his policies. And with my fear of the radical left extreme nonsense ever creeping closer to home, I voted for the lesser of two evils.

Now we find ourselves with a small but loud faction of almost religious like support for a moronic bully that I guess makes people feel empowered because he wouldn’t take any crap from the left and was able to make fun of and call out the lunacy of the left, but did so in such an irritating and undignified way.

If the Trump followers either break apart or become apathetic again, the GOP is in trouble for the foreseeable future. There needs to be a dynamic candidate that emerges to appeal to both factions of republicans and also pull some from the moderate left. Doubling down and continuing to find another Trump like candidate will be a losing proposition in my opinion.

Background:

My wife and her family are all from Ohio, attended Ohio State, and for the ones that didn't are big OSU fans. Needless to say, they were all excited on Monday. However, my FIL complained a bit, mostly because he's also a diehard fan of the Browns and Guardians who never win anything. He literally expects OSU to be top 5 all the time, etc., which is how I would classify most legacy school fans.

Anyway, literally after the game was over and the confetti is falling, he complained that "they just had to make it hard" and "surprised they didn't blow it" which got me a little peeved so I told Mrs. Swamp I'd give my left nut for Tech to PLAY in the national title game in football with no guarantee of victory, even if the other team was supposed to blow us out in a Tech '08 OU-style beat down. And given that we've never even played for the conference title, I think I would literally let them remove one of the boys.

So it got me thinking: say, 'ol Mephistopheles shows up and says 1 year of your life for a guarantee that Tech wins the national title in the next three years. The catch is that he also knows when you are supposed to die, so you're gambling that you were going to live the at least three years to guarantee you would see Tech win it all (if you were going to die in six months, for instance, the bet means you are now immediately dead and don't live to see the game, but you die with the knowledge it is coming).

Would you take that bet?

(and yes I'm bored)
