FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Urban legend in my opinion. The non CCG folks should have a better idea of what to expect vs their peers...than any CCG loser vs the field. 6:17

Wanna hear my conspiracy theory? Well too bad, I have bourbon. Committee could put us 7 to plant the appropriate "should-be-8-team-playoff, and teams playing 3 times is crazy" seed. 1)Ore 2)UGA 3)BSU 4)Clem 5)ND 6)UT/PSU 7)UT/PSU 8)OSU 9)ASU 10)Tenn 11)IU 12)Bama

Tell Me About Texas a&m
There is a chance I forgot how much I hate them the past decade. Had to watch with two family members (both TEMU) in a rural, beer-only bar. Hallmark, nonsensical bitching/conspiracies ensued: "Refs were paid" "Sankey agreed TU could have championship their first year if they joined. I know because I keep up with this stuff" "Slocum would have set the refs straight" "Our law school doesn't have enough influence yet, so we won't get the calls" "Klein has been phoning it in for 3 weeks because he was offered a good HC job" "Poor decision to let TU in CCG. Nobody will watch them play UGA again" "Elko too fat" (agree. Bad for health) Insufferable. Picked up the tab, told them I'd see them Christmas, left early to watch at a house. Will probably make some off-maroon "TEMU: best 8-4 team in the country" shirts on 4imprint to take care of their Christmas gifts. Maybe a subtle Jimbo in the clouds above it, some Chernobyl scenery.

Blackjack - the martingale system
Found this dangerous thread while looking for CFB "locks." Martingale will make you a sad person. It also takes away the scenarios in which you eat into the house edge trying to get to -0.5% like doubling down, splitting, surrendering, etc. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the times I've lost 10-12 hands in a row. Consider those bad runs a certainty. I discovered martingale in high school and proudly told my father that I would print money when I turned 21. I also thought I had a shot with Jennifer Love Hewitt if I could just get her to visit. My alternative? I don't have one, and nobody should listen to me. I quit a shoe if I'm up 3 units and wait for the next one. Since counting is frowned upon by the people who matter, and booze are free/disorienting, that seems like too much work for me.

2024 CFP SEMIFINAL SUGAR BOWL FUNDRAISER - TICKETS ARE FOR SALE NOW
I'm in 105 at DKR, which is one of the cheaper areas. I didn't even make the Arlington cut, so my optimism is nonexistent. Operation Blackmail a Politician or Two commences 12/9.

Texas vs. byu - 2:30pm on ABC
In-depth pro analysis on the playcalling from Section 105 When did they start making fat Mormons I thought Matress Mack was cancelled Worthy wasn't in the huddle, perfect time for timeout instead of interception Joseph Smith must have approved fake tiddies Magic underwear probably works best, but during a 3-game test, Under Armour has beaten Puma and Adidas as best for smuggling flasks through TSA. Avoid violent sneezes Hire Jackie Chan. If you're never going to get a holding call, teach them kung fu to get out of the choke holds I saw some Miller Lite empties on the way out and am desperate to find out where they're sold on the home side. I am too fat to drink real beer this year, and Michelob Ultra makes me sad/mad Saw a navy "I soak" shirt and thought it was kind of funny but then remembered that soaking is not fun after you turn 15 Taysom traveled but did not suit up:

5-5 on the season. I am confident that I have learned lessons, but historically, that is probably incorrect. ND -7.5 Utah -7.5 KSU -16.5 JMU -6.5 UMass +7 Wash -34 Oregon -6.5 FSU -31 OkSt -3

College football '23
2-2 so far this season. I always bet on way too many games. ECU @ Mich over 51.5 Tennessee -28 Colorado +20.5 Not because Colorado/Sanders. Because TCU. Low confidence, but I want to believe they are trash, and gambling helps me believe. Washington -14 Rice @ Texas first half over 30.5 Thinking every RB sees time 2nd half, answers Sark's hopes/fears, and eats clock Texas -35.5

"Texas needs the best OC. Herman needs experienced assistants who are good at recruiting. And I get paid to write this." Pure genius. Totally worth $9.95.

Texas opens as a 5 favorite v Kansas State
Disagree. Kansas: Shit. Always shit. Bert's: Shit. Always shit. Texas Tech: Garbage. Fans are annoying and oblivious. Bill Miller's: Garbage. Fans are annoying and oblivious. West Virginia: Far away next to farms where people make their own alcohol. Not very good. Salt Lick: Far away next to farms where people make their own alcohol. Not very good. TCU: Got kind of good for a while. Not so much lately. Stiles Switch: Got kind of good for a while. Not so much lately. Oklahoma State: Financially buoyed by rich, former guy. In Stillwater--named after still water. If you have to partake, do it for the mullet. County Line: Financially buoyed by rich locals. Next to some still water. If you have to partake, all-you-can-eat beef ribs. Iowa State: Year after year, nobody really knows until the end-of-season "meh"...but please beat Iowa. Green Mesquite: Year after year, a hard "meh"...but please be open when I can't find parking at Terry Black's. Kansas State: People might not know it yet, but solid. Valentina's: People might not know about it yet, but solid. Texas: Fuck you, I still enjoy it and will tune in once a week. Cooper's: Fuck you, I still enjoy it and will eat lunch there once a week. Oklahoma: Fuck Oklahoma. That place on 35 south somewhere around Oltorf attached to a hotel: I assume fuck them. It's attached to a shitty hotel. Baylor: Got decent, did terrible things, should have received the death penalty. Looking for comeback. Mueller's: Got decent, did bad things, and got shut down by the comptroller. Looking for comeback. Haven't tried Studdard's trailer, and I'm not proud of that.
