  1. I'm not worried in the least, I think we have #1 overall seed locked up today no matter what else happens. I just wanted to point out how stupid the RPI turns out to be. Not the first example
  2. I think its been discussed but the RPI turns out to be truly regarded. As of this morning it has Georgia, Auburn, and Vandy ahead of us. I know the unbalanced conference schedule can account for some of the discrepancy, but lets look a little closer. RPI #1 - Georgia -- fifth in the SEC with an 18-12 conference record. In nonconference played made up schools or at least nobody has heard of them. In conference play, swept by TX, Auburn, and Vandy. Played Arkansas and Alabama but also played almost all the bottom half of the conference - MO, A&M, OU, UK, FL. RPI #2 - Auburn -- sixth in the SEC at 17-13. RPI #3 - Vandy -- I actually respect their schedule and record at 39-16 overall, 19-11 conference with no MO or SC RPI #4 - TX -- 42-11 overall, #1 SEC at 22-8 makes no sense at all
  3. We are gonna sweep these mouth breathers (meth breathers?) Witherspoon the first and Crooks are their only pitchers worth a shit, and we already handled them. While Crooks could go again this series, I don't think he will because with us playing loose having locked up the title, OU won't have a late lead. Hook Em!
  4. In BCS its pronounced *clinch*
  5. You forget to hit "submit reply" on this one back in January?
  6. Vanderbilt at 16-11 without having played MO or SC is impressive. FUCK OU
  7. I imagine they still have us winning the SEC regular season title, and its hard for the seeding committee not to give the SEC champ the top overall seed when it is so stacked
  8. Riojas threw 35 pitches against Florida. He'll start the first game against OU if healthy. BTW is there any truth to the team illness rumor?
  9. Lol teams ranked 2-5 all lost their series. #2 Clemson got swept by NC State, #3 Oregon State got swept by Oregon, Florida State lost to Louisville, Arky to FL. I'm loving this team and can't wait to see how they finish it off!
  10. That pitch on the bunt s.o. was so filthy
  11. Too late to edit but I should add, that is 3rd best in the SEC right now
  12. Didn't we used to worry about Galvan's bat? His OPS is 1.250 right now . . . ridiculous
  13. Lol! Honestly they could have been in any order, I just didn't want surly to slip. Badass that they got so fired up to chase em!
  14. what kind of creatures laid these eggs?
  15. I came to add a few more and I see gsoda3 added Banks, Majors, and Collins. Can't leave out guys like Simmons, Trey Moore, Golden, etc! Great work man
  16. Im sure I'm not the first to say this but Ana you fucking suck so hard
  17. Pics aren't loading?
  18. Holy shit this is almost identical to the plot of Damascus Station, a fun spy novel where they (spoiler alert!!) finally get the Assad henchman who was in charge of torture just like this
  19. I'm sure its been discussed but nobody will be rooting harder for SMU tomorrow than the committee. You know that with a loss, they would want to drop SMU out of the field -- but would have no explanation for dropping them 4 spots while the losers of the SEC and B1G ccg's only drop behind the auto top 4 bids.
  20. Fair - but with QE I wasn't so much thinking long bombs, more like 10-20 yarders over the middle. Just need a couple to soften things up a lot.
  21. The first game, Georgia's defensive game plan was to deny QE the throws he really likes, i.e. screens and short passes to the wr, te, and rb. We came out trying to run those plays and they jumped all over it. It was like Sark was trying to run the base plays first to set up his counters, but Georgia had watched so much film he should have started with the counters. They denied us enough to rattle us in general and turn over the ball too many times. Their D is not great statistically. I don't think we will be out schemed/out prepared again. It won't be too hard to connect downfield, have some success running the ball, play action, and open up Georgia's D. Horns make a statement. Hook Em!
  22. Cottonmouth thinking about chilling for the winter
  23. I made a super long post the other day in the "Active Measures . . . Propaganda" thread that I won't copy here, but I agre 100% that propaganda is at work. What I think people aren't comprehending is that it is not disinformation per se, it is the pervasive demonization of liberals since the 1990's beginning with conservative talk radio to Fox News to today with all of that plus podcasts and a proliferation of information sources that, as noted above, are coordinated to amplify eachother and to enforce echo chambers. I'm a former conservative/republican voter and still run in a lot of those circles. We have gone from a time of good faith debate to today when every attempt to talk about it ends at "yeah but liberals are trying to destroy the country." No amount of insanity, stupidity, racism, hate, crime, and treason from Trump could break through that simple message that has been pushed for decades and has poisoned more than half the electorate. I think one solution would be to try to make propaganda a topic in the conversation. HIghlight studies like the one mentioned above showing conservatives favor democrat policies when they are presented without , put out documentaries about propaganda affecting americans, keep spreading the word. If enough people realize they are being conned, they won't go back to voting that way. If we don't, democrats will end up trying to change in ways and fix things that aren't really the problem, and voters will keep ping ponging back and forth when they get pissed enough.
