  1. This is what I predicted years ago, and IMO make way more sense. I THOUGHT they'd go from 4-8. In the 4-8 transition the CCG winners get home field first round. Then second round championships use the big bowls. Essentially I thought that model would then morph into 16 and your model. I was wrong on the process but still believe ultimately it's where we end up. So you're saying there's a chance. Man, I really hope they let me take video if it comes to pass.
  2. I'll go out on a limb and bet there is more than one Russian wife who got her husband to sign some "Volunteer" papers while he was hammered on wadka.
  3. At this point if they shoved CU in and left out the Big 12 champ, I wouldn't even be surprised.
  4. How in the fuck did @MissingInAction end up running a tank for the Ukrainians?? He musta clicked on an add for Ukranian wives. "Come meet your future wife. We will fly you here and you'll be perfectly matched."
  5. There's absolutely some strange shit going on in this one. I'm lost as fuck but perhaps that's because the current details are sketchy at best. Lots of things don't track for me. I'm not going to dismiss some mental illness issue possibly leading to the fathers estrangement from his daughter. Likely a big factor in his suicide as well. However, even without a child, and admittedly no bad mental illness issue, I can't imagine dying before resolution. I also can't imagine being in those shoes so.. It's also suspicious.. lots left unclear.
  6. Honestly it's bad for "business" that being business being ratings. They will want ND for example to play another Helmet blue bloods if possible in early or later round match up. Texas, Georgia, Bama for example. ND vs SEC loser in first round, with them matching up much later vs the SEC winner. Then they'll look for big cross regional matchups where they can get them Georgia vs Oregon or a Arizona State vs Penn State in the first round. That won't be the primary guide for seeding but will absolutely be a substantial factor.
  7. This is full on aggie style, Kyle. (And your name is suspicious too)
  8. Does if you're War Eagle and the season they've had. If you look closely, they've had a gut wrenching one and based on their history this season and past... I thought they were going to choke that game away.
  9. I agree with your larger point. Missouri is a paper tiger for sure. However, against Miami or CU I wouldn't bet it either way. I'd say the same for LSU, Ole Miss and Bama. I could see them beating BYU, Miami, ND, CU or SMU. Of course, I fully admit I could see it going the other way so as not to sound like an SEC homer. I think there is a lot more parity broadly speaking but who is great in the Big 12, ACC or B1G. As a Texas fan which conference do you think would have been tougher to get where we are today?
  10. I've never bought into the rust theory. My take is that the risk of a major injury or even a somewhat minor one (ankle injury anyone) plus just additional wear and tear greatly outweighs any perceived rust issues. Teams typically perform better post a bye week. If anyone knows of any good quantitative metrics that take out subjectivity and I'd truly love to see it. I know it's a conjecture item people love to fight over, my question is, is there data supporting either side. Real data, not singular examples.
  11. Yah, and I for one despite my disdain for them, actually want Miami, ND, SMU, and CU in. Mostly because I think Texas matches up really well against all of them. Granted we couldn't play them all. But.. I would love it if we could. Also, win and in. That's the "key take away". I'm perfectly happy to get a bye week and watch all the teeth nashing about who does and doesn't make it. It will be glorious.
  12. Only reasonable plan.
  13. Oh, my spelling and grammar are absolutely shit. It's comes free with the regarding I found.
  14. Jesus.. put in Arch
  15. Just gonna say, you have more than 1 qb in the qb room in case your QB1 gets hurt. That's the entire fucking point. Not putting in your backup when QB1 is very, very clearly hurt, is shit head coaching.
  16. I already owned it, but neither of you pussies manned up and bet me. So calling me out, after I owned it, when you don't have nuts to put money where your mouth is.. special.
  17. Let's review some more shit
  18. This fucking ending
  19. Done
  20. I know a lot of gamblers weren't fans. Of course, probably about half that number was.
  21. Hmmm... well... shit.. starting to look like I'm am NOT a genius level moron.. but good news is, despite being a fool, none of my money will be departed.
  22. I'm going to look like a blathering regard or genius level moron depending on the outcome of this game. I've pimped IU more than everyone else combined on this board. So.. my well regarded reputation is clearly on the line. For the record not a single shit talking Surlyite took me up on the points I offered. So.. I don't want to hear about how much people knew if IU doesn't win. Of course, I sure a shit will and my shit will be on blast, but I called my shot and I'm still confident IU not only keep OSU from covering, but wins.
  23. It was @South Austin's mom.
  24. Just for the record I like you too Chewy. Don't go getting all jealous.
