  1. Soooooo.. I assume the NCAA is also going to open an investigation to the 2001 Oklahoma Texas game as well.
  2. This is the second year in a row Oregon has lost to UW due to Lanning being unnecessarily aggressive on 4th down.
  3. Jfc. Ducks look like ass
  4. Both my kids could have seen it, but sadly it’s cloudy in Eugene. Boy 1 saw it in San Antonio and said it was one of the coolest things he’s ever done.
  5. Just running the dive, playing off coverage to force the other team to take 3-4 minute drives, and milking the clock right out of the gate should get you the W. What a disaster. Looking at that schedule, I’m not sure I see another win except maybe Arizona.
  6. Reminds of when I saw Ewen McGregor had returned to the Star Wars universe a couple of years ago and I was musing outloud "why?" and my wife immediately answered "Oh, I saw he just got divorced...."
  7. Rape is rarely about sex/sexuality.
  8. Feels like a legal plant so Thomas and Alito can play the next round of “Wildcard, Bitches!!!”
  9. The joke around here is nobody actually gets into UCLA. They hire actors for the basketball games. LSU is so desperate for enrollment they continued to stalk my kids a year after they matriculated, basically offering money for them to transfer. Thirsty AF.
  10. In all deference to Adventure Time and Ricky and Morty, Pinky and the Brain might be the best absurdist cartoon ever.
  11. Not UC San Diego. University of San Diego. Private Catholic College.
  12. University of San Diego, as I recall, has one of the prettiest campuses in the country and will offer a top student pretty good merit.
  13. I’m pretty sure they fixed it. My mom’s realtor said she knew at least two families about 10-15 years ago in Westlake who basically decamped to the hunting lease in South Texas for their senior year to avoid the bloodbath for UT admissions on Westbank Drive. At least one wasn’t much more than deer camp. That probably sounds like Heaven to half of you. Not my bougie East Coast ass.
  14. If Wake doesn’t eat those innings in Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS, we don’t win that title. Legend.
  15. Man, it got fucking weird in here overnight.
  16. Sadly the reverse lead me to eventually smoking for 20 years until I kicked the habit.
  17. I mean, I’ve found them very pleasant to work with. But I have a vested interest in them continuing on. Putting my desire to make my client happy aside: it can go either way. Some interim’s kee staff on, some don’t. Tina Smith shitcanned Al Frankens whole office like 6 weeks after swearing in .
  18. This is the correct answer.
  19. Part of it has to do with the fact that the Senate, push come to shove, is ultimately a majority rules institution if the majority wants it to be. It’s tyranny of the minority by tradition and self imposed rules. You can always go “nuclear” and overrule the ruling of the chair. So ultimately, if the Democrats wanted to, they could do it.
  20. I believe this is correct.
  21. Yeah. He’s got a wandering dick and unlimited ambition, but he isn’t stupid.
  22. Este. Those running footsteps you hear is Manchin inserting himself into shutdown negotiations even as I type. This is gonna fuck up judiciary committee work for sure. I was negotiating with her office on something earlier this week. Furk.
  23. Newsom will appoint the replacement to serve out the term. The only question is if he picks among the already announced candidates or a placeholder. He’ll need to move fast though, otherwise Machin is going to insert himself into shutdown negotiations as the swing vote.
  24. Boy 2 is getting 12k a year plus a tuition lock from Oregon and is in the Clark Honors College. Not as generous as the SEC schools, but I’m kinda snobby about schools and I wanted him to go to an AAU (plus my coparent couldn’t get down with a Deep South state). @CooterBrown is correct: work the Common Data Set. It’s a treasury trove of info: how hard schools lean on early admission, applicant demographics, testing stat breakdowns, degree breakdowns, retention rates, how far short Admissions is falling and having to take off the wait list, etc.
  25. There is this concept of “Buyer and Seller” schools. Buyer schools have to pitch and offer students to get their class full. NC State and Michigan State are buyer schools. They will offer money, sometimes generously, to gifted OOS students. Michigan and North Carolina are Seller schools. They don’t have to do shit. To quote the sargeant from HEAT: this shit sells itself. Small schools have much going for them: small classes, personal contact with professors, usually very charming environments. But running into all your hookups every day in the dining hall can be a bit exhausting.
