    I'm guessing most 12 year old girls don't enjoy watching this scene with their parents.

    If we are being real I bet most married men don’t enjoy watching it with their wives
..reminds them of things they lose along the way.

    She really failed to appreciate Surly Bevo’s distinction there. And here too:

    You could have been a good parent and explained it to her.

    Christmas Vacation in a runaway landslide. Elf is great for an hour, but is (slightly) overrated. A Christmas Story is a great movie and anyone who hyperbolicly says it’s overrated is absolutely retarded. Love Actually is fucking outstanding and we watched tonight but I hadn’t seen in years and forgot about the porn actor scenes. My 12-yo daughter didn’t like that and my 14 yo son laughed his ass off. 

    Porn actors?  You mean the people standing in for the actors to frame the shots and get the lighting right?  They’re not filming a porn they’re live action mannequins otherwise known as stand ins.

    Yeah, they went all in on the Vol Invasion blowing up in their faces. Their jackassery has well documented by the Columbus and national press. I pray to God we never play them in a meaningful game in Austin. They’re the closest thing the SEC has to Buckeyes fan. Truly hilarious the most insufferable fanbases, sans aggy, met in a playoff game. 
     

    I’ll agree SEC Shorts really hasn’t figured out to make fun of Texas. They  did a McConaghey locking himself in the press room gag after the home loss to Bama and it didn’t really pan. The voice was spot on though. 

    After the home loss to Bama their bit was Bama in the ER.

    Now do the list of non wild card champions. 

    Well that would be everybody else.  That said, in professional sports the teams with byes are usually clearly the best teams (longer regular seasons more balanced schedules blah blah blah) and yet it still happens there. This set up....eh maybe.   tOSU getting that Michigan loss taste out of their mouth I think helps them more in a rematch with a team they lost to by 1 point then if they had sat around waiting...we shall see.

    People are hugely underrating the importance of getting a bye. It's a week of extra rest and time to gameplan while your opponents beat each other up and come into the game tired. Not to mention, every extra game is an extra opportunity to lose.

    I guess we will see but we have seen plenty of times in professional sports the team that kept playing and kept the mojo going come in and take down the team that sat around getting cold.  Happens more in baseball but has also happened 5 times this century where a wild card team has won the Super Bowl...and that isn't even taking into account divisional round upsets.  Will be interesting to see how that plays out at a college level.

    The smoke is awesome. Fuck the haters you old grumpy fucks. 
     

    There are always gonna be some minor quibbles and yea some of the music choices sucked but then when a Texas game is on the line in the 4Q I don’t really need music to get me fired up. YRMV

    Generally the only major thing is that Bob Cole is still involved at all. His demotion to the band only was great but means he still has too much run in the pregame. Fuck Bob Cole.

    ASU is a team of scrappy guys with a few above-average talents mixed in riding some good old-fashioned Ted Lasso BELIEVE.  6 game win streak, after some early losses and close calls against teams you wouldn't normally expect conference champion playoff teams to be having close calls against.  There's power to that, so I suggested that we get out early, get up by 2, or 3 possessions, and strangle that belief out of them.  Sark needs to take points that extend leads (especially if it tips things from 1 possession to 2, 2 possessions to 3) every time he has the opportunity.  They are not some team of dregs. They are mid to slightly above mid level talent with what appears to be an excellent coach who has them pretty motivated. The best way to handle is to put them down early.

    Have you been watching this season?

    Yea....you have a point?  Mine would be that the most points our defense has given up in a 2H all season is 14 so being up by more than that would be the way.

    I will tell you right now if we try and tackle this guy above the waist he will kill us for extra yards.

    Get his ankles.

    I get what you are saying, but our defense ain't fucking Iowa State.
