Just booked my tickets to DFW. Hold mah diiiiick

Fuck. Yeah. Don’t even care if BYU loses. We won 10 games for the first time ever and beat Iowa and KSU in the process.

Hour 45 from Farmageddon 108 kick off and I’m about ready to puke.

The Big 12 is getting in unless we have a 3 loss champ. And you know what? I have no issue with a 3 loss team getting left out.

I think I’m raising a squirrel. She just ran behind the garage bar and emerged with a cracker of the type we had been eating in here Sunday. Obviously she stashed it somewhere and retrieved for later snacking.

How different is this conversation if the ACC is beating each other up and the Big 12 has a bunch of 1 loss teams? Maybe it looks the same, but I’m guessing it’s flipped.

I don’t think that was ever really a thing for you guys. Your brand transcended it.

Yeah all of Minnesota’s Eisenhower Administration natties mean something now as they struggle to fill a 50K stadium.

He would 100% do this

2/3rds of the Big 10 are indistinguishable from the average Big 12 or ACC program. They’re just lucky that Ohio State and Michigan enjoy propping them up financially.

Yeah, he’s been appearing in permutations of this thread since he was 4 or 5. Got plenty of his uncle’s personality. I’m really nervous about Saturday. Obviously we have a lot more to play for. Obviously that don’t make a shit.

No one really deserves autobids, but it’s clear the Big 10 and SEC want them, ergo it will happen when the playoff expands, which seems inevitable. The Big 12 and ACC bring enough viewers to the product to get something, but not enough for equal footing. If you think any of this is motivated by what’s earned on the field of play, I’m not sure what to say. By preserving some access to the schools outside the SEC and Big 10, you keep all their fans watching your product without having to share anything with them.

I think it’s gonna be the 14 with 4 SEC/Big 10 bids, 2 Big 12/ACC, 1 G5, 1 at large, but there will be no bye for being a conference champion. The byes will go on seeding, and the top 4 seeds will always be from some combo of SEC and Big 10 teams. Bye teams will host on campus games and keep the gate.

Last year he said he was just yelling "BOOBS" at the end of sentences. It was great entertainment. For me anyways. I could see my brother's few remaining hairs falling out of his scalp in real time.

Gonna be interesting this year, potentially. Failure to Launch Stoner BIL upped his threats of self harm to the point of being committed this summer. While it seemed like he started to get on a better track after getting out, he's falling back into his loathing and self pity. Most of it revolves his belief that he's a friendless loser, which while true, is entirely of his own doing. He still complains about getting made fun of in high school (he's 33) despite having been a college athlete and a guy that women generally find good looking (until they talk to him and his negativity is an immediate turn off). We're hosting the in-laws and Friday and he's not coming with, which is just fine by me. Having to be around his mopey bitching just takes all the life out of a room. I just hope for my wife and in-laws' sake that he doesn't do anything drastic in the next month (I doubt he will). Went to my brother's place in St Paul on Sunday (for my mom's side) and going to my old man's tomorrow. I doubt either one of those will create drama, but my 9 year old nephew is almost always good for a few one liners. He's starting to get openly horny and my brother has no clue how to address it. We grew up German Catholic, so anything like that was snuffed out with swift and severe punishment for generations. My SIL is far more of a gentle parent than mine or (any previous generations were). So I wouldn't put it past him to reference having a boner at the dinner table.
