This is how NBC gets to “good news for Harris abortion is top issue”….

Their headline this morning is that trump and Harris are now tied in the popular vote poll. With Trunp picking up 6 pts from their last poll.

Obviously disappointed with this no way to get around it death knell kind of news given the fact Biden was up 10 at this point in 2020….here are the gymnastics they used to objectively state “great news for Harris, now abortion is the number one issue for voters”. Ready? Here’s the poll question.

“Is there one issue you feel so strongly about that you will vote for or against a candidate solely on that issue?”

Abortion was number one. Forget the fact that the way this question was asked, it avoids the relevant question of what issues are most important to the electorate. Makes you have to pick one single issue rather than ranking several. And generally feeds into a left leaning voter probably unanimously picking this one by default. If for example economy and immigration were your top issues but equally important, you couldn’t pick either. If you are a democrat concerned about the economy, this question forces you to pick abortion.

Why not just ask what issue is most important, like literally every other poll where the economy is number one and immigration two?

Could it possibly be that NbC crafted the question to get a desired outcome?

So freaking dishonest.

Let’s not overthink it…

Kirby has won with better talent than his opponent, deeper roster than his opponent, and superior team leadership from a championship culture. Our lines of scrimmage are not close to elite (OL injuries, DL roster), our pass rush and run defense is “very good not great “, our OL doesn’t not get push in the running game, and our secondary is inconsistent with players that are not elite. Our WR/TE room has not come close to backfilling mccconkey and bowers. two transfer WRs are suspended. I am frustrated to watch this team make the same mistakes off the field over and over. We’re not as talented and the team leadership is harder to develop in the era of portal transfers. It’s a new era, ask Saban who is sitting in the booth. We’ll figure it out…but not in 2024. This is a 3 loss team.

What would it be?

Ohio State board complaining about similar things to us

they are venting that they are not putting teams away like they used to, not really whipping anyone anymore, they feel they dont have the mental toughness that they used to and are concerned about the fact that their OL hasn't been as good as it was 2 years ago, also feel they dont have disruptors on the DL like they used to. Also, they lost one of their best OL in the Oregon game likely for the season. I thought it was interesting and felt the need to pass it along.

A Couple of Positives

27 point first half. After being very stagnant in the 1st 30 minutes all year it was good to see us have a good 1st half point wise.

Dan Jackson has been a favorite of mine since he gave his entire body up for Kelee. He flies to the ball and is a hitter!

I'll defer to y'all on the negatives. Y'all have done a pretty good job pointing them out so far......

Playoff first round might be legit afterall ??

Looking at how there really isn't the typical divide between the top 3-4 teams from the pack and then it gets even more muddled than usual and you can't A convince me who will even be the top four seeds (who knows how championship games are going to go) Texas could run the table and then lose to Vandy in SEC championship game :)


B which 5 seed is clearly going to kill anyone because it is looking more and more like the NFL model this season. I use to think playing a 12 seed was a gimme. Ummm gimme a bye instead.

I mean Oregon has not looked amazing by any stretch this season..... yet ...they are gonna be ranked second.

They beat Idaho by 10 and Boise by 3.

Imagine if UGA football did that??? Lot of venters would jump.

THE OHIOS STATE...most talent blah blah

And Texas...maybe they are the dream team but ...I mean their toughest game was a rivalry game against a team without receivers at a neutral site...then Michigan who well they are top 25 but eh. They handling business but they play the least sec like schedule of any SEC team


We have lots of warts too ...but remember when Tenn was looking scary? Bama is even better without Saban? and that ole miss team has a defense? Just some early narratives that don't seem so true anymore.

If you let it...this can be a fun season...but some of you just love to toss matches at everything

I am not gonna defend this team anymore and going to enjoy watching trolls and actual fans crap on our team and just smile knowing they don't get this is a different type of college football now.

Just got to be good enough during the season then peak at the end. Not like the old days where you HAD to be great 90 percent of the time for style points or you were left out.

Some of you love to be bat shit crazy ..I'm just gonna watch you holding matches lol
