  1. We've done Texas Live before the B12 title games and it's fun/fine for Arlington from 8-10:30 AM.
  2. It's amazing how much information is easily available and yet dullards never pick it up. Pro tip, chief - sadness <> depression.
  3. Yeah, I think playing off the pod winners would actually suck. It places WAY too much emphasis on your 3 pod games and on the random distribution of teams. Super dumb to have a "four team pod playoff" of 3 5-4 "pod champs" and one 9-0 "pod champ" when there is an 8-1 team that only lost to the 9-0 team and dumptrucked all 3 of the other "pod champs". It also creates a lot of meaningless games where, say, a team is 5-1 in pod and the other 3 teams are 2-4, 2-4, 1-5 and have all lost to the 5-1 team, the 5-1 team is "guaranteed" a playoff spot and the last 3 games are meaningless. Sucks.
  4. nah. the pods aren't officially "divisions" they are just scheduling metrics. there won't be "pod standings"
  5. Same, but I would prefer ScarJo offer me an alternate thank you.
  6. Everyone knows fucking a five/six that you've never fucked before is waaaaaaaay more appealing than fucking a five/six that you've fucked hundreds of times. Come on. Also, for OU/Texas, the teams you listed were the top marquee available home games. ISU at least got to host OU and/or Texas. Now, the Ole Miss or Arkansas teams, equal to top available games before, will be the filler home games, with 1-3 of Bama, Barn, Gata, Georgia, LSU, Tenn, aggy really getting the juices flowing (aggy included b/c they are hyped to that level to some extent plus the enjoyment of putting them back in their place).
  7. Or Green Bay. Or Chicago.
  8. Anyone who can look at this and think that anything other than "vaxx is the solution" is just emotionally attached to another answer and beyond help.
  9. Vegas?
  10. CDC can’t and never has “required” masks. They don’t have that authority. Previously it was recommended also. Think of it as they have recommended that they be required. Thank an anti-vaxxer today!
  11. I think that's the current 2nd best option, behind giving every team their own unique "personal pod" of 3 annual rivals, then the other 6 teams rotate either swapping home and away first, then swap 6 and do them home and away, or go first 6, second 6, first 6 opp location, second 6 opp location. That gets everyone playing every team both home and away in each 4 year cycle. Glorious. The "personal pods" just make the fine-tuning of keeping the best games easier.
  12. No you don’t. Top two records play. People are making this waaaaayyy harder than they need to. Only 1/3 of your conference schedule is your pod. People are acting like you just play a pod triple round robin. Hosting and visiting teams like Florida, Georgia, and Bama once a decade is traaaaaassshhh. If you are the first team out of the conf title game either you will make the playoffs anyway or you got lucky with the schedule and aren’t a top 6 at large. It resolves itself. I think people are just not envisioning the effects of the expanded playoff.
  13. Pods or "3 set and rotate for the other 6" are way better than divisions. Everyone here has mocked the SEC for things like Aggy playing at Georgia 0 times in 12 years or whatever and it will just be worse with more teams added. Trashcan to join SEC and play Bama once per 8 years at home and once per 8 years on the road. GTFO. You take the top 2 teams and play in the CCG. With an expanded playoff, a team that goes 9-3 because they got buttfucked on the schedule strength can grab an at-large easily.
  14. I agree in general, but we have a "steaming" "maniac" so you play to exploit those tendencies. The guy called 20 bigs pre with 86 and then $125 on flop with mid pair no kicker to the person who 3b and then fires into multiple opponents. And jeeeeeeeeeeeeesus christ at that AA238 hand. PUKE.
  15. I pointed out to my dumbass antivax brother that the states and areas with the lowest vax rates are also uniformly at the top of the least educated, poorest, fattest, unhealthiest, methiest places in the goddamn country. So either these people literally can't figure out a single good decision for their health OR they always choose poorly EXCEPT here they all uniformly somehow got it right on not getting vaxxed. It worked roughly as expected.
  16. I agree, can't fold. If he's truly steaming, I am cool check-calling turn and river to get him to do something stupid. I don't think he will stop spamming a J and jamming now takes away any bluffs he might have.
  17. Double that guy's salary immediately.
  18. What would be the likelihood of being thoroughly boned arriving at Cattleack around noon on a Thurs?
  19. I’m folding. Too good a chance we are low on outs either bc someone has a set, straight already, or the nut flush draw. Don’t like getting 100 bigs in with king high and zero nut outs.
  20. Face is also expensive, with big TicketMaster fees too. I bought direct last time and paid $300 or so for 3rd level club seats straight on to the ring. The top level is pretty cheap, but you're there to soak in atmosphere and watch the screen at that point. I bought a few sets and flipped a few for a small profit to help offset, but that's a pain in the ass, esp with digital tickets and not a friendly selling environment in Arlington.
  21. Yep, was a super fun time, except I had some drunk crazy bitch with her cameltoe out (in the words of AJ's theme - you don't want none) who then passed out during Edge/Roman and then puked on her dude in her sleep and then he peaced out and left her literally sleeping there. We moved just in case of additional pukage, I would have to go berserker mode if I got spewed on. It's super shocking how loud the pyro is, when I first took my girls, they hated "the booms", then they went without pyro for a while. It is loud AF, and the fire is hot. Sorry your little man got shook and the ear plugs next time will help a ton!
  22. Dealer at my poker table said she has been around people with Covid and she didn’t get it so she’s clearly just not going to get it. She was also looking for transportation to the next series and said there was a bus but you had to be vaxxed to take the bus, how stupid. Then joked she should forge a vax card. Uh or you could take 30 minutes and $0 and get vaxxed you stupid shithead toddler
  23. Fatter and heavier in England, ostensibly to hold up to frequent gusty winds.
  24. Zinger said like 5 times in 30 minutes that this may be Louis’ last good chance at a major. He’s fucking 38 and has gone 2-2 in his last two majors!! Just impossibly stupid awful take. Insta-fireable esp since he said it 20 fucking times, not just an ill-thought off the cuff thing.
  25. He was literally 3 back when he teed off this morning and was in the lead before the turn. Plus, I’m sure Louis is under pretty extreme pressure given all the runner-up talk.
