  1. Her name was Stephanie. Raleigh, North Carolina. September 1993.
  2. Really, that's probably their best option at this point. And he can say the word "family" like the normal asshole he is.
  3. I think I lost my virginity to a girl who felt sorry for me.
  4. To be fair to Helobious, it's more relevant than Eric Estrada.
  5. Are you talking about "forever" in dog years?
  6. Eh, Klein as the aggy OC never really worried me. They might luck into an improvement.
  7. Pretty sure MAGA discredited George Will years ago. He's too much of an intellectual RINO.
  8. I wouldn't be surprised if he woke up, forgot what year it was, and referred to him as Little Marco.
  9. Yep. It's a huge fucking difference in the CFP committee's perception of Ole Miss as a playoff team. They might not go far without Kiffin at the helm, but their odds are a hell of a lot better with at least Weiss calling the plays. Ole Miss is in.
  10. Pretty sure BYU would hire a Scientologist.
  11. William F. Buckley, Jr. has never been in my kitchen.
  12. I thought that maybe a party in a suite hired the mariachi band to play for someone as a birthday surprise, and then they told the band, "Hey, there's a big football game going on out there. Want to play for the crowd during a break?"
  13. Weird. My wife asks me that all the time.
  14. Though I was far from objective, I had no problem with FSU getting left out. At the time, only four teams got a shot at the playoffs, and giving FSU one of those because of a 13-0 team that clearly did not reflect the strength of the team at the end of the season would have been a waste. The Texas/Washington and Michigan/Bama semi games were both competitive right to the end. If FSU got the nod over either Texas or Bama, the semis would have been a snooze fest. That's not what the playoff committee is trying to produce.
  15. This is a very good point. I recall FSU looking like dogshit and limping to a conference championship. Texas fans at the time were praying for Louisville to beat FSU in the conference title game, but apparently after that the committee thought, "Well, we've seen enough of FSU." If the committee debates at all whether to keep Ole Miss, I can see an argument of "Who knows how this same team will perform without Kiffin and the offensive staff" weighing in favor of giving them a shot.
  16. I get that perspective, and understand I'm arguing in a vacuum. But if part of the discussion is -- as it has been in the past -- who are the best teams right now for the playoffs, an 11-1 Ole Miss team right now is going to be worse that the same team was a week ago. That much worse to drop from playoff consideration completely? I don't know. But it's a valid discussion.
  17. Maybe. But in the discussions over whether to drop Ole Miss, or where to seed them if they are in, I can see committee discussion along the lines of: "Sure, their DC is staying. But who's calling the offensive plays? Who's scouting the first round opponent and formulating an offensive game plan? Who's managing the clock and making halftime adjustments on the offensive side of the ball?" I can't think of a data point for comparison, but has a highly-ranked team finished the regular season, only to play a bowl game after its head coach and offensive staff left the program? I have to imagine that throws even highly-talented teams in disarray.
