Realignment Talk Not Going Away....
None of this should matter, and you are a fucking weirdo with how hung up you are on this shit. Oregon is better at winning football games than most schools. They've had a ton of entertaining players over the years. The gate keeping of college football to only the biggest brands and a handful of historic free riders is the dumbest shit ever. 2/3rds of the Big 10 are free riding. 40% of the SEC is. Caring about this is dumb as fuck.

Realignment Talk Not Going Away....
The idea that a team like Oregon should maybe not be part of high end college football because they don't get enough ratings is the dumbest fucking shit of all time. It's everything that's wrong with this sport. Your obsession with TV ratings is fucking weird, but I guess there must be more people like you than I realize.

It's the wrong realignment thread.

Nerdsplaining Movie Plot Holes
My favorite little detail of this movie is how Leo communicates through T9 word predictor without looking. It sets it to an incredibly short window of time, and anyone who used it can completely understand how plausible that is. It'll be wild trying to explain that scene to my daughter when I have her watch it someday.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Pine trees might be in every state except Hawaii though. Just seems way too universal to delineate anything.

If Pedo tires of Franklin, I could see Campbell to State College. IMO he's been holding out for Ohio State or Notre Dame (he's from Ohio and his whole family is still there; he's also Catholic) but think he'd take Michigan or Penn State. All the jobs he's turned down previously were in the south or on the west coast.

He's getting fired for sure. I had thought that he and Satterfield would both get fired, and Fickell would go back to Cincy, but now it looks like Satterfield is saving his job.

Hasn't Fisch openly craved the Florida job?

Uniform Pron
I can't think of a single 90's rebrand that has stood the test of time. Even if they're still in use (like these) most fans clamor for the old ones. The NBA and NHL had some truly hideous combos in that time frame as well.

I wonder if you can bet on whether UNC or TCU finishes the season with more ACC wins?

Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff
I low key love Tropicana. It's kind of a pastiche, but he is so earnest and unflinching that he pulls it off.

These Cardinals helmets are excellent. The uniforms? Not so much.

Hegseth & the Boys
I'm thinking less of a purge and more of a Distraction War. Too many "release the Epstein files" memes on Twitter these days. Gotta distract the populace. Greenland? Iran? Who knows!

Beer 2025: Merry Christmas Everyone, Including the Haters and Losers
That would be right in my wheelhouse. This seems like a backwards way to say it's a hoppy lager, and I've long been a fan of those (back to the days when Sam Adams made Noble Pils).

Sam, we’re a little worried about the Gilroy game
TIL that Tweeder is Jimmy Caan's son. Guess I should have read the credits closer.

Miss Davis, would you go to prom with me?

This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.
No. I had a very different experience on the way to Kyle (the one bad part of the trip). One of my buddies got separated from the rest of us wandering into the game, and I'm yelling at him over the phone out front of Kyle Field, undoubtedly dropping F-bombs, when some unhinged old guy runs up to me (I'm like 23 at this point) and almost rips the phone at of my hand and starts screaming at me about how "WAY DON'T TALLK LIKE THAT IN FRUNT OF WIMMIN SUN". I was just utterly shell shocked, and his entourage quickly peeled him away from me before I had a chance to even consider a reaction. My buddies and I just stand there stunned, when some other guys our age run up to us and say "Y'all know who that was? You just got your ass chewed by RC Slocum?". Utterly surreal moment. We found my buddy shortly after, and then he dropped an F bomb during the game, and some lady behind us grabbed a state trooper, who drug us up to the concourse and threatened to arrest us for public intox. Everyone else was pretty cool though.

Way better. Stillwater doesn't have the cult vibe. People are laid back, friendly, and like to party. Good music scene. Just way less "stick up ass"/weirdo shit. I've been to a game at College Station as well. Stillwater was far more my scene. I had fun in College Station, and was treated well, but I felt like I was interacting with aliens. OK State peeps felt like Iowa Staters in orange.

Same. Stillwater, Manhattan, and Ames are all basically the same place. I've been to games in both Stillwater and Manhattan and was always blown away by how natural/comfortable it felt. As long as ISU, KSU, and OSU are in the same conference, that feels like a world I can live in.
