  1. Past hour
  2. I wasnt complicating anything. I just said get rid of any guaranteed spot. That seems pretty simple to me.
  3. That's a lot of brown for an aggy elevator.
  4. That doesn't really matter nor does it mean we need a condensed, weird playoff format headed by a committee like we have now. 24 team playoff, 8 byes, top 20 or whatever automatically get in and you have some play-ins for the rest. It's not that complicated and doesn't need to be.
  5. If she had already been diagnosed with depression, and was being treated for it, let's not lose sight of the fact that for some young people certain antidepressants can amplify suicidal ideation. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it could contribute.
  6. dollar stores are a scam: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/03/customers-pay-more-rising-dollar-store-costs
  7. College football is a bit different than other sports. Most sports have conferences where every team play each other and, in many cases, it is a home and home. In that world the conference championship is decided on the field. There is a lot more luck and nuance in CFB
  8. November malaise is over. Just beat closing ATH for S&P. Still 25 points for intraday ATH.
  9. don’t forget that these garbage time wins (the dak special) will drop our 1st round draft pick about a dozen spots. not that we need young talent or anything.

    Mad Men

    I was responding to a Reddit post about Diana and why Don decides to try to find her, and ended up finally putting some thoughts down about the last few episodes. I could be completely off base, but I've been meaning to write it down for a while The last few episodes have a few vignettes in which we see several of Don's relationships with women where he seeks a connection (he wants to feel needed) and is rebuffed. It happens with Diana's estranged husband (Diana in abstentia), Sally, Betty, and Stephanie (lover, father ex husband, and whatever (Stephanie doesn't know either). Finally, he gets to Peggy, and she doesn't rebuff him ("come home"). Anyway, Diana is a stand-in for all of the lovers to some degree. But she resembled Rachel, which was the initial attraction, and her husband says something to Don about her that is an indictment of Don's character (I can't recall precisely). Anyway, Peggy's ultimate acceptance of Don seems to give him a sense of identity in the professional realm, and that leads into the group session where Leonard talks about being the item in the refrigerator which just wants to be chosen. Leonard describes himself as a commodity and this allows Don to connect with him (He's an ad man afterall), experience empathy, and also forms the seed of the Coke Commercial with people as the product who just want to be needed.
  11. Instead of 2 things, why not just one thing?
  12. Then it sucks they are caught up in it
  13. The timing is curious, though. (I still want to believe. Just give me this one. Ok and Fake Melania.)
  14. @Thatguy, your vid gave me flashbacks. Congrats on the scholly!
  15. You just cannot play safety of all positions and miss every spring semester playing football. He’s going to be a baseball player.
  16. Maybe Buzbee wants to pin it all on CDC.
  17. I think we all saw the warts in the terrible roster management this season, so this should be obvious. Easy examples are the OL and RB room. I said in another thread that Texas missing the playoffs might be best for the future of Sark and Texas. If Texas got into the playoffs Sark could ignore the issues and say he and his staff did a good job. Missing the playoffs should make him re-evaluate the entire program. I would be more worried if @closetojumping said he thought 5-8 would be the number. That would mean Sark is sitting pat and did not see the issues that many of us saw.
  18. Big12 defenses >>> ACC defenses Think hes the type of coach who would do well at unc. They need a coach less crusty than the last two guys
  19. This reads like one of those old Big Cigar fantasies that Nahlin would conjure out of thin air and have the audience eat it up. At a minimum, I’ve heard different stuff on at least 5 guys from that class. I hope his info is better. Unfortunately, I’ve heard the same stuff from completely different places on a few of them. As an example, Jonah Williams is going to be a one sport player, one way or the other, more sooner than later. That may not be a forced thing, but returning to FB as a 4th or 5th guy on the depth chart would tell the tale anyway. I wrote that post thinking of your head exploding. I have no idea what to tell you, as I have the same issue. They like the dude and he’s likely to be getting a raise.
  20. Guess its better than David Ellison buying them https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce91x2jm5pjo
  21. no idea. I received an email from them with this message
  22. As somewhat expected, Netflix won the auction and signed the deal overnight. From a quick scan of the merger agreement, looks like WBD will complete the spin of its linear networks to its shareholders, and Netflix will acquire the remaining business for about $72 bil of equity value. The most interesting part is what happens from a governmental approvals perspective. Lobbying from Paramount and others will be intense. Even ignoring the wild card in the White House, this transaction would receive heavy antitrust scrutiny. With the wild card in the White House, all bets are off. I honestly can't remember if Netflix has done something to aggrieve this president in the past, which will be the main sticking point. I didn't parse every word, but looks like Netflix will owe a $5.8 bil break fee if the deal fails for regulatory reasons.
  23. Yeah…way to draw out the family’s agony and grief, assholes. Plenty of solid flags indicating suicide. And saying “but suicide doesn’t make sense” is no rebuttal at all: suicide is very often not a rational decision. You could come up with all kinds of reason why the deceased shouldn’t have done so….but those reasons weren’t enough. It doesn’t make sense. Shit, it’s why the word “senseless” exists.
