He's the backbone of the program.

My worry is that ASU loses Molinaro after this season. I'd place that at like 50/50 right now. Not because of anything I've seen or heard, but I could see another program offering him more money, and him with a family to think about getting a pay raise for doing the same job he already has. I don't think Pritts would leave, but I could be wrong there. The one coach I doubt they'd lose is Thompson.

Because Biden was never implicated in doing anything wrong. It sounds like his son used his dad's name to get things and his dad probably had no idea or had told him to tread lightly. Which Hunter probably ignored and bull*I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*ted people into thinking his dad was on board or more heavily involved so people might be more inclined to give him money. Gaetz was much more involved with what he was accused of and can't have any plausible deniability.

Not that I know of. They knew that this would happen and have a half assed answer to it, which is about as impotent as a Nevada boxing commissioner. What they should have done was listen and do whatever they had to in order to keep that going. Now the face of the program for the last decade is gone. They aren't bringing in top recruits anymore, and they can't compete in the NIL era without somebody backing the program in a big way. After this season I wouldn't be shocked if half the current starters transferred, and we're right back to where things were when Zeke took over.

Too bad they didn't get DT. Maybe somebody can get JB when Zeke is ready to retire. That would be the only name big enough to make a big impact.

None of the money goes to Alex Jones which is a very good thing.

The military has done that since before WW2. It actually costs less to replace the equipment left behind than to transport it back. Also this keeps the various defense contractors happy because whichever congressional districts have big manufacturing for defense contractors basically will make sure the money keeps flowing no matter what. You'll also never eliminate all fraud and waste with the Pentagon. There are a ton of things that us mere mortals don't know about that get funding that's basically a black hole.

When you hold public office you give up your right to privacy.

It looked like Tyson was holding back in the early rounds and then just got tired and was kinda like "Eh screw it" and just stuck it out without doing much else. There were a few times when he moved quickly and had the angle to throw something with bad intentions and just didn't.

I wonder if he fell on the sword for Gaetz or something like that, on the promise or hope he could get pardoned in the future. Kind of like what happened with Roger Stone.

ASU didn't plan long term at all and now that their biggest financial backer rode off into the sunset, it's going to be really tough to compete especially in the new NIL era without somebody else who can pick up the slack. Zeke was told this could happen years ago and nobody did anything to prepare.

"The sequence and timing of Mr. Gaetz's resignation from the House raises serious questions about the contents of the House Ethics Committee report," Durbin said in a statement Thursday. "We cannot allow this valuable information from a bipartisan investigation to be hidden from the American people. Make no mistake: this information could be relevant to the question of Mr. Gaetz's confirmation as the next attorney general of the United States and our constitutional responsibility of advice and consent." Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas told reporters Thursday morning he "absolutely" wants to see the House Ethics Committee's report on Gaetz. "I think there should not be any limitation on the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation, including whatever the House Ethics Committee has generated," he said. The Senate Judiciary Committee, which will be chaired by a Republican when the new Congress is seated in January, will conduct confirmation hearings for the nominee for attorney general.

The point is you're not going to get rid of it in one fell swoop by appointing a guy whose only interest is continuing to get richer from the kind of contracts and supposed fraud or waste he is supposed to be preventing. It would be like you saying you are going to become a spokesperson for quick hair growth or being able to do basic accounting. Nobody's going to believe it.

A big part of how and why they waste money is because of how contractors are set up. Especially military. Various people in Congress have their own interests for whomever they represent, and if let's say a military base is in their district and they are going to be closed down and put a hole in the economy of that district, the congressman in that district might take action to prevent the base from closing. Even if the base uses and trains on outdated equipment. One of the best examples was the A10 Warthog which was kept around for years despite being a money loser and outdated. Maybe the factory to build them was kept open by somebody else in Congress too. Most of the waste, just off the top of my head, probably comes from the military doing things like this.
