When I saw this thread I thought the exact same thing. Then I also wondered if the manifesto came out today, what would Ted Kaczynski be on about.
It also includes a matching $1m donation in 2027.
Fair point that 15-25 years ago they would not have been able to transfer in all of Cig's players. Which would have made it harder to build a winning team.
However, 13-0 Indiana is definitely making the BCS Natty game unless there are 2 other undefeated teams. And then they only have to win 1 more game to be champs. This year's team went 13-0 then had to beat 3 other playoff teams.
Harder to say which era would be more impressive, but considering it was the first time in 30 years that we had a new champ it is clearly still unbelievable.
Why, pray tell, would someone have a laptop stand in their bathroom in the first place? Luddite that I am, I have a trac flip fone for when we're separated, and a Jitterbug smart phone I use for text and phone calls only. I do get the medical advantages, but I prefer my life to not be inundated by, or firmly connected to the internet or a telephone. I truly wish for the days of just computers, but no internet, while knowing those days are way behind us.
Jerry Jeff Walker had a song on his Viva Terlingua album about Rollin' Wheels. "Rollin' wheels, they're rollin' on, Takin' us all on our way, taken back all that they saved." I kinda have that feeling about technology, while not wanting to go back to horse and buggy days.
3rd. He very famously said "they will have to hit me harder than that" when they had cameras in the locker room at halftime

Or maybe he and his mom just like to joke around with each other. I didn't like it but having a sense of humor isn't immaturity.
We needed the sweep last week and couldn't do it. Beating Liberty would gain a bit of cred and a nice morale boost. Losing either game to UNCG would be devastating.
I think the big red flag was how he clowned his mother.
Doing the bait and switch, without updating the person sitting next to him, is a much smaller red flag.
I know nothing about fundraising or data or AI.
My completely unqualified thoughts:
(1) maybe they can glean information from purchase histories to figure out the best way to request donations from folks. Idk.
(2) maybe, with sufficient training, the AI can analyze tape to determine tells faster - I.e., maybe it can help someone notice that a lineman only lines up a certain way if he is going to pass protect, etc. Coaches already notice this stuff, but maybe AI can help them notice faster or self-scout to avoid those things better.
The internet is wonderful because it gave everyone access to information and everyone a voice. Unfortunately, we grossly underestimated how many of the people were really, really terrible. Also, how dangerous partial or misunderstood information could be, especially at scale.
Wow! Much deserved, that program has been stellar for the past decade.
I don't know how it happened, but LinkedIn has become the new Facebook where it somehow became normal and acceptable to share the most batshit posts imaginable.
Its staggering to read so many insane posts on there. Regardless of what you believe, why the hell share that kind of information on a website dedicated to letting potential employers know who you are. Either politics or some of the worst crass humor you'll see, its incredible just how much of a shit hole the site has become.
I found that it exploded after taking my daughter on her official tour of University of South Carolina earlier this spring. After booking transportation, my spam calls (which used to be low like yours and a small fraction of what my wife gets) went up by several times. Cannot prove it, but feels like that was the pivot point where they are hacked or they just posted the number to people.
There was a charity race I used to run and, right after that race, I would be deluged with charity solicitations and/or scams. 95% sure it was from signing up for that race. Either the main central charity sold my data or the local affiliate that organized the local race sold my data or the race director/their company sold my data. It was clockwork, year-after-year. Run this 5K in December and charities calls or regular mail solicitations would go up 5-10 fold for the next month or two.
I finally started telling these people, someone is going to have to come up with a charity to benefit me if I donated to even half the people hitting me up for money.
Risky move to be putting Mom on the spot like that.
I've heard people describe those born then as effectively being the "last chopper out of Saigon". We threaded the needle perfectly in terms of learning how to survive pre-internet and being taught how to navigate the internet era. Many of the lessons learned before the internet have proven to be very translatable.
