Western Europe is dramatically changing, but it seems to get little attention from the traditional press. Some argue these changes will lead to civil war. Stanford professor Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Somali-born Dutch and American writer and activist who recently noted to (controversial) Tommy Robinson that "we may lose the Continent". Look at recent events in Ireland. (Ms. Ali suffered FGM, and has had 24 / 7 security for over 20 years because of her viewpoints.) Ms. Ali is as knowledgeable, understated, and dignified as they come.

An Aggie alum, professor, and frequent traveler seemed equally ignorant until I educated him about the so-called "grooming gangs" that have committed unspeakable evil, brutal acts against 300,000 to 500,000 British children.

The London Metroplitan Police just updated their crime statistics: 2200 r*pes in Q1 in London, 6700 sexual offenses, over 12,000 cases of stalking / harassment. How many were purposefully buried?

So London in Q1 has matched the r*pe total of New York City for all of 2025 (2000). So that's 4x the rate.

This is the 'OT Board", and any parent or elder will want to warn young people about the changes, especially big cities and nightlife in Europe (London cab drivers have also become a big problem).

Independent journalists and citizens cover these changes on Instagram and elsewhere.

MTBAggie - great to hear, but young women often have a very different experience. I saw a young Spanish woman who said she feels safer in the UAE at midnight than Barcelona in the daytime.

How is it possible that Sports Information, the Associate AD who oversees football, and the Ass AD for External Relations blew this - over multiple years?

On top of all this, I believe it was noted here repeatedly. Is it possible without all of these lapses he would have been invited to more pre-draft combines?

QB Cole Payton of NDSU went to the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round, with the 178th overall pick.

SDSU has 4-5 guys getting a shot.

Thirty years ago I was told that the typical breakdown was one third large donors, one third medium, one third small, and raise 30% of the monies in the 'quiet phase' before announcing a campaign.

With new hedge fund and other fortunes, that may have changed a little. I was told one benefactor funded our field hockey facility, and monies to the baseball stadium diminished in value as campus types drug their feet over Title IX, and construction costs exploded.

Haven't Cal and UCLA routed tens of millions to ICA?

Hassons
Eason
Bryce Rogers and Father...

If we don't have the guy, move somebody, and / or make sure we have 2nd / 3rd player prepped.

Hasson - 6'5", 310, double Legacy.

Plough on Cofield, 20 pounds heavier.

Is Cofield fast?

Parnell only played five games his senior year, but look at these advanced plyometric workouts! Solid build, 6'2".

Fatality at the train station today.

We were decimated by then, without the Connors, several other players, and our stud DE.

Solid write up. Hennessy played in all 13 games last year as a true Frosh so they must like his speed and hands. His drinking game too easy.

Given new realities and with Caden Pinnick as an example, and our tight QB battle, I hope whoever ends up at #2 gets more snaps than in the past.

RB Ulonzo Gilliam in football entered but stayed here.

The Connor brothers also had a year of rest.

But this was in the spring?

President Trump proposed new limits.

AI: "On April 3, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order, "Urgent National Action to Save College Sports," targeting NCAA transfer and eligibility rules, aiming to limit student-athletes to one transfer during a five-year eligibility window and, generally, to one transfer without sitting out."

"Legal Standing: The order faces significant legal hurdles, as previous court rulings (such as in West Virginia) have already deemed NCAA limitations on multiple transfers to be illegal, leading analysts to believe the order may not survive legal challenges."

Schools face losing federal funding.
