2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Imagine a completely algorithmic ranking system that comes up with teams 1-12, and imagine that some other team played all 12 teams (obviously with no others) and went 7-5. Would they arguably belong in that top 12? If your ranking system can't reach that conclusion then I would argue it is flawed.

2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
LOL. Look, slorch, I know it's hard to comprehend, but no matter how good the 2025 Tceh team is you're just not a marquee opponent. If we're going to take a legitimate chance at a loss, it's going to be to a blueblod, and y'all ain't it. Sorry, little brother.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
I heard quite a bit of this prior to the game. Never mind that it ignores the facts of a conference title and two final four playoff appearances in the last two years, it ignores the fact that they haven't done jack shit since FedEx was delivering their signing papers. Aggies will never get over the hump until they recognize that they are the problem, and that ain't happening any time soon.

Where is the benefit to UT in scheduling Texas Tech instead of, I don't know, our typical run of strong out of conference opponents like Ohio State, Michigan, USC, LSU, Georgia, Notre Dame? Those others draw far more national eyes and in particular the eyes of recruits. Texas Tech might as well be Utah State in the eyes of the public.

2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
When I look at last week's CFP rankings, I see us at #16 and a 3-2 record against teams in the top 14. This doesn't include whatever jump we "should" make for beating #3. It's very hard to wrap my head around the idea that we aren't worthy of a playoff bid. We played a very tough schedule with great results against the top teams in college football, so what? I have to believe that getting left out represents a shift on the committee's behalf from "tough losses don't matter" to "all losses matter".

These Go to 11 - The Guitar Amp Thread
Purchase update: I grabbed one of these in black a while back when my Vox was in the hospital. I haven't played it much, but took it to my buddy's house for a writing session the other night. Holy crap, it's really good for the money. It doesn't crunch up very well but if you keep it between the ditches it has a really credible oh-so-slightly gritty tone. Fender Pro Jr. IV LTD:

I honestly don't think I've ever seen her without a smile on her face. She has a very sunny disposition.

The Guitar Pron Thread
That's a lot more expensive than my anecdote, but it resonates in a similar manner: Years ago I was driving down Airport Blvd and I saw a guy on the sidewalk carrying a 7-11 bag. This was Friday evening, right at quittin' time. Out of nowhere the bag burst and his just-purchased 6er of bottled beer disintegrated on the sidewalk. The look on his face was gut-wrenching. He was probably gonna have a nice night, drinkin' some Buds, watching some hockey or some such but no, God stepped in and destroyed his evening.

Trump’s America
Anybody remember when Trump used to call Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas"? I do. I assume "Sitting Bull" or similar is incoming for good old Markwayne Mullins.

Concerts you are attending
First time for sure. I thought the crowd was good, but I thought the sound was underwhelming. They need to go study the PA rigs at Radio East, Mohawk, Stubb's, etc. Good beer.

Someone needs to replace those with "Person, Man, Woman, Camera, TV" place cards.

I heard the show started late because it took him longer to bicycle to the venue than he expected? LOL Thanks, they were definitely "on". Interesting place.

The comeback against MissState was kind of astonishing, too.

Any pianist fans?
My sister is a pro, but focuses on vocal accompaniment (mostly solo voice). She did play on this recording, which is cool in my mind:
