Ticks, Fleas, Yellow Jackets, Carpenter Bees, stink bugs (Chinese ones), fake lady bugs all come in way before the Sooner and most before Fire Ants.

You willing to introduce her to my single friend. He's not a regarded degenerate sick weirdo and doesn't post on Surly. So... /obviously asking for a friend

Now do what I did on another thread and compare the win/loss record of the teams Oregon has beaten. Add to it the scores of common opponents. A case can be made for IU being behind Oregon. I already pointed out that IU would, at worst, have the same record as Texas had they played the same schedule. Yet, somehow, they suck cause they've never won shit before. Too many people here haven't actually watched IU play. For the record, the defense they run is...wait for it... just like the one Ousux and Georgia ran against Texas. They're solid at every aspect of the game. They've been every opponent on their schedule. Oh wait.. average IU 43.9 opponents 13.80 So maybe they've played a lack luster schedule but they're OWNING every opponent. Now compare that margins of victory to BYU or Miami. Or Texas or OSU. Look at the win loss records of those schools opponents. Then tell me again why IU is a shitty team aside from, They haven't been good in the past. Breaking News, aside from last year, neither has Texas since 2009.

I honestly wonder why they waited so long.

Do you have any reputable source for this regarding popularity among the people? On the popularity I'm suspect of most sources as the propaganda machine runs so strong I could see the truth being buried.

I've watched every single IU game you dumb fucking idiot, but obviously you missed that point. Now get fucked.

This is a terrible take. IU has been working nearly every opponent they've played. They would have soundly beaten: CSU Did beat Michigan UTSA ULM MSU OUSux Georgia (this would be a pick em with the 3 int QB) Vandy Florida The only one in possible doubt is Georgia, if you think IU would have lost any of those others you haven't been watching them. They're the best team D, O and ST in the B1G save perhaps Oregon. So either Texas and IU are both dog shit or you don't know wtf you're talking about.

I think Vandy does have another upset in them. I won't pick said upset, but prepping for their offense is a challenge.

The Georgia vs Tennessee game is very much the same boat as Georgia vs Old Miss was for me. Those are 3 very swingy teams. I don't have confidence in either team winning but think Texas matches up better against Bama than Tennessee.. so.. there's that.

Maybe be the topic is correct about one aspect:

How many games did we have this year during which zero starters were injured? Which games?

It's gonna cause some real mental issues in aggieville and shit tons of excuse making with lots of BOM conspiracy.

This is a terrible take and you should be ashamed. You keep over looking playing the game in between they have to play, and if you think Sark or any conference champ team coach is just gonna cut the players loose for 3 weeks.. well.. okay then.

Not exactly. They hero worship a good deal. Hell, how great and awesome was SC this week? Amazing.. no hate.. they are awesome.

Not accurate. First round is home the 20th or 21st. Champs will get 7th of Dec to Dec 31st or Jan 1st off (depending on which Quater final game) They also don't have to play a top team risking injuries 2 weeks prior. So, that's 3.5 weeks or nearly a month. If you don't see that as a massive advantage I dunno what to tell you. College football playoff schedule

Yeah I'm with Opus on this one. I admit, I dropped out of EE cause it was boring but I can't see having a minor in second engineering degree. In fact, I would submit broadening horizons by business engagement or something more in a "teams building" would be better. Or, "Getting along better with others for Engineering Majors". We've completely derailed this thread.

MOST folks with Sociology degrees go on to be Surly 1%ers that own their own companies.. well.. maybe some.. okay.. I'm not a Surly 1%er but do own my own company. Leave me alone! On a serious note, Sociology degree with a deeper dive in Social Media Marketing/Management or polling methodology and funding is better applicable post grad training path. Tying over into social media/business/politics is a better path than diving deeper into a specific niche unless you're planning on grad school with a potential Thesis around that area of specialization/focus.

1st time I saw them play was at 21st Street CoOp with "Little Sister". It was a while back.

I wouldn't be too confident about that call. They've been beating the shit out of all their opponents, crappy or not.

You know it sort of brings up an interesting question that could probably be it's own thread. Which fan base is most annoying and arrogant in each conference. Obviously it won't be a scientific study but it would be interesting. I've been exposed to all the of Big 12, almost all of the B1G, most of the former Pac and live in "SEC country". My quick vote: Most arrogant/Biggest assholes: B1G: USC fans win this when the team is doing well and Ohio State fans say hold my beer. SEC: Georgia with UTenn coming in a ways back for second. Texas fans, are.. Texas fans. ACC: Miami (but only when they're winning and 99.9% not actual graduates) SMU fans are just arrogant all the time so.. Clemson fans have zero historical reference and think they are a blue blood. Duke fans are pretty insufferable and not just because of basketball. Big XII: Colorado fans are insufferable when the team is doing well, silent when they aren't. BYU seems to be trying but I've not had enough personal exposure to say for sure. TCU fans are pretty bad.

You don't know that man! Maybe the entire team were FFAPA. Future Farmers and Punters of America!!! Don't assume.

Weirdo, it's football season

Whoa there amigo, Dartmouth is playing Princeton right now. This is an important game... and... actually... a pretty good one.

Well, as a regarded middle aged, middle class guy, unlike most of Surly, I have to settle for 7s and I'm okay with that reality.

I know, her pointy knees are hideous right?
