  1. My head says to cheer for OU since we already beat them on a neutral field, and it wasn't nearly as close as the final score says, while we lost to WVU at home. But I just can't do it, too satisfying for OU to be sitting at home watching the Big XII championship between two teams they lost to.
  2. If you want my real takeaway it's this: at some 4th rate college in the UK with 3000 students and that has only been a university for 6 years, a staffer in the journalism school sent out a memo saying don't use ALL CAPs in your messages to students. The professors and students both laughed off this suggestion. Yet some idiot decided this was still worthy of a new thread. Great job.
  3. What the fuck is a "university lecturer"?
  4. Is everyone in this thread a millionaire yet?
  5. Looking forward to her being grilled on CSPAN for 8 hours over this.

    USC@UCLA- Fox

  7. Honestly Alabama could lose 2 or 3 and still be in at this point.

    Fuck that "good enough to win". They won despite giving up 45 points. He played a nearly flawless game.
  9. Not pretty but a win is a win. On to Cincinnati.
  10. Seems like he made the right choice. If he hadn't transferred he would have been put in the game today and lose his last year of eligibility.
  11. Calling my shot: Michael Dickson to win Rookie of the Year.
  12. UCLA suspends 6 players for Week 1, including Soso Jamabo. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2792862-soso-jamabo-among-6-ucla-football-players-suspended-for-opener-vs-cincinnati
  13. "Tell the Navy to go Fuck themselves" seems like a ... not ideal campaign slogan for San Diego county.
  14. Yes, that's the best part. Transfers need to give some kind of "mitigating circumstances" to get a waiver to play right away. These aren't reported to the NCAA but to the new school. So it was Sumlin that decided to leak this to the press. Info from here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2018/08/21/texas-am-faces-ncaa-scrutiny-former-player-eligibility-jimbo-fisher/1052434002/
  15. 95% chance of Hunter win per 538 (before this story of course).
  16. Cohen charges aren't being brought by Mueller. They handed off the current set of Cohen crimes to NY because it isn't directly related to the Russia investigation.
  17. Following up, this is my new favorite comedy. I'm just sad it took me so long to hear about it. More people need to be watching this.
  18. Looking at 2019 recruiting, how is UCLA ranked 84th on 247? Shouldn't Chip Kelly + UCLA be a recruiting powerhouse? They are 10th in the Pac12 somehow.
  19. Agreed. The "biggest stadium" era is over now that the in-home experience is so good. Improving the quality of the fan experience at the game is much more important than stadium size.
  20. I avoid the target date funds personally but for most people make sense. The .15 ER is 4 times higher than .04 for the all-market Vanguard, but that is misleading since .11 is already such a small amount. What that buys you compared to building the same allocation yourself is the automatic rebalancing. Not everyone wants to set a reminder to rebalance constantly. I do it, but for most people the target date fund lets you set it and forget it for a relatively low price.
  21. If you are convinced there is a crash coming, cash or VGLT (long-maturity treasuries).
  22. If you follow the statements of Trump's top immigration advisors, the focus was always going to be on legal immigrants. They see an Asian CEO in Silicon Valley as more of a problem than an undocumented Mexican farmworker.
