Back when I used to read the DawgVent, there was this surly septuagenarian who would always update us on This Day In Confederate History.

Also The Blacks are a blight on our society, what with the rippity rap and the saggy jeans, which is why Jesus is working through Mark Richt to save their souls, he even got that Mowshon Knoreno feller to wear a tie.

Sometimes I read the politics board on TexAgs just to help me understand how things are the way they are. Observing Texas politics and Trump from inside Austin, it's like "How the hell is this even possible? Who thinks this is a good idea?" Then I go read some threads over there and it all becomes so horribly clear.

A while back, I had seen that professor Steven Weinberg, nobel laureate in physics, but on his syllabus that he was not going to allow handguns in his classes.

God drat, the comments responding to that were something else.

I saw Texags had an article posted about reseach TAMU was doing regarding social nets and how these resources tend to benefit people achieving happiness, their goals, and a sense of accomplishment. The posters on Texags did not respond favorably to that.

There are a couple CFB boards with bigger liberal sentiments though

The Penn State 247 board isn't bad. There are some stodgy old and vile Paterno People, but it's mostly not. A good example recently is someone posting a thread complaining of a well-thought out video a Penn State redshirt freshman posted about kneeling during the anthem and police violence. The person who posted the thread was shouted down by virtually everyone.

Yeah, for me it is here, /r/CFB (which is surprisingly good), SBNation, and AJC's UGA page. I used to borrow a subscription for Rivals, but the guy let it lapse and never re-upped it, so that went away.

Malik Rosier, the first running QB we've had in forever. He's fun to watch. His first start was actually against Duke in 2015 when Kaaya was hurt. Our offense, when it's clicking, is real fun to watch. When it's not, it's the worst. I'm hoping fun Richt calls plays tonight.

He throws a seriously beautiful ball.

What's up with the defense? Is the toledo offense that good or just a flukey game?

Bit of both. Our pass defense has been utter trash so far this year. All 4 of our starting DBs last year are in the NFL on rosters now, so it's taking a lot to replace them. There's been a lot of miscommunication among the DBs, with some people playing man and some playing zone leading to some big plays. We've also mainly stayed in our base package, so we might have just been playing conservative. The layoff didn't help. Both Bethune Cookman and Toledo had gameplans about short passing plays, which neutralized our really good front 7 for the most part. Our run defense has been fantastic, and we've shut down the run so far. Toledo does, however, probably have the best QB we'll face this year, and a really really good passing offense. We held them under their normal PPG by around 3 touchdowns.

Rosier has been way more fun to watch than Kaaya was.

History shows, again and again, how nature points out the folly of man.
The only CFB places I go are SA, reddit cfb, SBNation's UGA page, and a Georgia fan blog that's run by a pretty cool guy and frequented by occasionally very toxic commenters.
