Rep. Steve King Threatens Trump Over DACA Deal: 'The Base Will Leave Him'

MAGA Twitter Livid Over DACA: 'At This Point, Who Doesn't Want Trump Impeached?'

WATCH: President Trump Addresses DACA Deal: 'The Wall Will Come Later'

CNN's Ana Navarro: 'I Wholeheartedly Agree' With Trump DACA Position

That last one is especially rich.

" puter understands this, because this is about big-time cfb. Your lack of clarity on the subject is certainly understandable."

Wow, I haven't heard anyone refer to Tennessee as being about big time cfb in years. You have more losing seasons than winning ones in the past decade, and a couple of those "winning seasons" were 7-6. And you lost to UNC in a bowl game what amounted to a home game for UT. Big time cfb!

[bluetick]

Triggered.

I think I used that right.

2000 to present doesn't account for the 13-0 National Championship Tennessee won January 4th 1999. Just sayin'.

[DooKSucks]

Over the past ten years, measley UNC would be in 42nd for win percentage based on on-field results and not bullshit from the NCAA. Tennessee's position would be 57th....

[DooKSucks]

So, 100,000 people funnel into Knoxville from the surrounding hills and hollers to spend thousands of dollars each year watching subpar football? Sounds like an intelligent group of folks...

Hope springs eternal and all that.

9-4 is indeed subpar around these hills and hollers. Not so much at other places. hello

3 stars. Not as risky as The Kinks. Or Todd Rundgren.

If I were AA, I would be shouting, "GET THIS CRAP OFF PNN!" but actually I'm enjoying the change of pace.

Wait. In your I-am-AA-fantasy, it's really him that is enjoying the change of pace, n'est ce pas?

Certainement. Bien sur. Mais pourquois?

As a big fan of Will and Burns, I saw the first episode. It was superb.

[Professor Tiger]

This is decidedly NOT superb: a couple of college professors (one from UNC, by the way) wrote this colossal pile of excrement:

The Perilous Whiteness of Pumpkins

This article examines the symbolic whiteness associated with pumpkins in the contemporary United States. Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte, a widely circulated essay in McSweeney’s on “Decorative Gourd Season,” pumpkins in aspirational lifestyle magazines, and the reality television show Punkin Chunkin provide entry points into whiteness–pumpkin connections. Such analysis illuminates how class, gender, place, and especially race are employed in popular media and marketing of food and flavor; it suggests complicated interplay among food, leisure, labor, nostalgia, and race. Pumpkins in popular culture also reveal contemporary racial and class coding of rural versus urban places. Accumulation of critical, relational, and contextual analyses, including things seemingly as innocuous as pumpkins, points the way to a food studies of humanities and geography. When considered vis-à-vis violence and activism that incorporated pumpkins, these analyses point toward the perils of equating pumpkins and whiteness.

Nothing particularly unusual here, except the guy is merely suspended. Somehow they need a future meeting to decide his future with the FD.
