Why are so many people in Vail specifically phobic of 5G wireless frequencies? Some even artificial scents?

24/7 sports wrote a junior high tabloid on our AD eyeing Wisconsin. Please do not read this article as fact.

How many coaches in the Big XII in any sport actually don't report to the AD? 🤔

Just for fun.

#5 (Lily): She is definitely annoying and condescending towards the toys at first but Jessie wasn't exactly warm and welcoming either. I don't think Lily herself is evil and just operates the way she was programmed, in an ill-fated attempt to "optimize" Bonnie's life and find her "friends." She desires to make Bonnie happy and is a symbol that technology isn't inherently bad, it's how people use it. Her throwing herself in the donation box upon realizing Bonnie was cyber-bullied indirectly do to her tells me she's not evil.

#4. Gabby did some shady stuff in the beginning and had a creep factor along with the henchmen dolls helping her but evolved into a good character. Her desire to be loved lead her down a wrong path that was evil but she was redeemed as a sweet doll.

#3. Stinky Pete (The Prospector). This dude was very two faced and seeing his manipulation of Woody's Roundup gang come to a head when he sealed the vent shut in Al's apartment was an alarming revelation that he had nefarious intentions all along. His desire was admiration, not love, and his reveal as a cold and calculating character intending to deprive the other toys of their autonomy was shocking.

#2. Sid. This one goes without saying and some may be surprised he's not #1. The kid is demented and dismembered and literally blew up toys. The main reason I didn't put him #1 is that he is unaware of the sentience of the toys he's hurting and believes they are inanimate objects. When it is revealed that they walk, talk and have feelings, he freaks out to a degree that we can safely assume he never harms another toy. Still a psychological nightmare of a villain.

#1. Lotso. This guy is the most evil villain in my book. Not only is a manipulator and runs the daycare as a dictatorship, but has the darkest and most depraved thoughts about toys (that they are plastic meant for the trash). His own trauma of being forgotten and replaced is projected onto all other toys and they are disposable wastes of space unworthy of love (he doesn't even believe love is real). Then of course, he refuses to save the toys from the incinerator even after calling for help and Woody risking his life to save him.

Lots of misinformation being spread about our AD

I implore you to read this wonderful article from Southern AZ's biggest newspaper.

We should be saying "thank you" for her courage and grace despite so many attacks and negativity for no reason other than doing what she was hired to do and putting UA Athletics in its best position for the future.

I know there are thousands of posts about the Sorsby debacle and here's another.

This BS is exactly what TTU wants.

We are talking about a relatively obscure program in the middle of nowhere that controversially dismissed the most popular coach they ever had and has screwed up any chance of success they have had.

They haven't had much success until NIL and the expanded playoff opened the doors for them, only for them to get utterly humiliated.

They know that the integrity of the sport lies in their hands and what they're doing is causing unprecedented outrage. And what else does it cause? Attention and views.

If your didn't know where the heck Lubbock was, you do know. If you never planned on watching a TTU game in your life, millions plan to now.

Hate watching is a real thing (hence why Bama, who is pretty universally hated, gets so many views of their games).

TTU is already the most talked about program and is THE story of next season. Forget all the crap Lane Kiffin pulled and LSU.

TTU is going up be the draw of most weeks and will be the constant conversation piece for all the talking heads.

Controversy, outrage, and pushing the envelope for what you can get away with is what sells in America these days and it's allegorical to a bigger picture I won't get into (but most of you can easily find the parallel I'm referring to). Particularly since the power players involved in this mess support the same mentality that drives our bigger picture.

TTU or Sorsby aren't the main villain. We the people are for allowing what they're doing to be what creates attention and what sells in America.

Now that TTU has exposed themselves as having no integrity they are getting bashed but who else in this conference is lacking in morals?

Shameful! TTU may be public enemy #1 but we need to make ASU #2!!

This will be my last post of the summer.

To all that insisted DRF was being terminated by May, the UA website recently updated her bio to reflect overcoming the deficit, multiple athletics achievements (including the Final 4), and securing incredible naming rights deals to overcome the deceit.

Way to go UA Athletics! Let's keep pushing strong 💪

Will be back in the fall to celebrate Brennan's on field successes 🏈

I am so impressed with all the naming rights opportunities secured for U of A Athletics.

Through the Bear Down blueprint, a great deal of fiscal solvency has been achieved. Casino del Sol was especially an incredible opportunity to secure funds for NIL and football, the true future of college Athletics.

Are there are any other naming rights opportunities for on campus opportunities?

This forum has wound down a lot.

First, I love the new iteration of the Big XII and the parity in the conference is unreal. The fact Arizona was able to pull off 9 wins this past season shocks me and I definitely think futures are bright for a lot of schools.

I am seeing though a very similar trend perception wise to what the Pac 12 went through. Lots of good teams that beat up on eachother and very little elite teams that have the juice to make a playoff run.

In the entirety of the playoff era, only one Big XII team has won a playoff game (TCU vs Michigan in Jan 2023). This includes multiple appearance by Oklahoma and one by Texas when they were still Big XII members. The playoff record since 2014 is 1-9.

What will it take for the Big XII to start winning playoff games? I would imagine the degree of first round exits surely does not do the perception of the conference by the rest of CFB.

Honest question. He is vehement that the J'6ers were wrongly prosecuted and is trying to crodwsource a government repirations fund for them. Has he ever once said his thoughts are with the Epstein victims? One source of him saying something like that, I'm just asking for one.

American here, I'm fascinated with the fact that Australia gets opposite seasons and am opposite sun path as the US. (I know this is probably a weird thing to be fascinated by but I've always loved studying and observing where the sun is at various times of day and at that time of year).

We are getting close to the solstice, where for us, the sun will be as high as it ever gets at noon in whereas you'll have the lowest high point in June. And even crazier to me is the fact your sun is mostly traveling across the northern sky whereas ours travels across the southern. And weirder yet how in your summer the sun rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest whereas in our winter that happens etc.

If you could share pictures of anytime of day and year of the sun being out outside and just mention what direction it's facing and what time of day it was, that would be really cool.

Is it just me or is Vail oddly and specificly eccentric?

I'm talking, folks who voted MAGA because they think Wifi and 5G interfere with the nervous system? That certain strong, calm conviction where ideas such as believing artificial scents cause lung cancer so they use creosote soap and prickly pear toothpaste are just a part of everyday life.

It's like this paranoia about the world which is why they chose to live in a suburb that's tucked deep in the very corner that the Rincon (Spanish for corner) Mountains are named for, but they are actually pretty chill and welcoming so long as you don't actually move there and infringe upon any more desert they've claimed as their own?

Or is it just me?

Not only was a plane waiting to take Lloyd to Chapel Hill (he threatened to use it unless he reported immediately to the U of A president which is why the UA president chartered a flight there) but two players were so angry that Lloyd had failed to hold a walk through on Thursday before the game, as he was negotiating and making these demands with the president instead, they both comitted to declaring that night. This was a huge part of why the energy and focus was absolutely missing during the game against Michigan and also why the turnover on the team after the end of the season was unusually high with declarations and transfers despite an increase of "roster cash."
