Thanks for playing, Speaker Ryan.

Those of you who think sports and politics don’t mix…

Maybe you’re right.

    Or like when Florida plays Auburn? Don’t you root for the earth to be destroyed by an asteroid? Start thinking like that.

      No but I do pull for the Goodyear/Metlife blimp to crash. I guess I’m just a little more selective with my choice of catastrophes.

    I can (barely) stand to root for bama or lsu in the natty but I’m damned if I’ll ever root for something wearing orange.

    I remember when the USSR national basketball team toured the U.S. and played Tech. My only thought then was, “Go Commies, to hell with Tech!”

    You’d think a modern day politician would understand the irrationality of tribalism perfectly well.

    If I thought Ga was in play, I would vote Repub (I think the lesser of two evils, I think)…that said, I almost always vote Libertarian. It fits me much better than the two mainstream parties.

      I was just telling my technicians; the thing I want to see most out of this election, is for people to finally realize they have more than two choices. I gotta hope for this change…

    Well, Mr. Speaker, no, I don’t think any self-respecting Aggie would pull for Texas. And, I sure as hell wouldn’t pull for Tech, Auburn ,Tennessee, or Florida.

    I will say that my opinion of Alabama has softened after the way Saban supported Smart in his transition.

      How in hell would Tech, Auburn, UT or FU winning a nattie be good for the Dawgs? I only want stuff that helps Georgia. I want those 4 teams to lose every game.

    Ryan may be smart, but he’s an idiot. This is the most boneheaded thing he’s said in the the past 24 hours. The only thing that makes it not the most boneheaded thing from the RNC in all is that their convention is on. King took care of that last night.

      This was addressed to Ryan, not something Ryan said. Ryan is smartly trying to position himself as The Guy if Trump fails.

    Reasonably sure Aggies cheered when Colt let himself get plowed by a 320 pound DT generating +3,800 pounds of force at impact in a national championship game.

    My lord. If Tech somehow cheated their way into a national championship game, I’d root for a series of gruesome injuries en route to a thorough thrashing by Tech’s opponent.
