  1. Ole Miss tonight against Gata is elite. This is top 3 or so in the SEC.
  2. The bottom of the SEC is what makes the conference better. The fact is that almost every team is stocked with dudes who will be in the league. More than any other conference. Any team is capable of playing well for a few quarters and jumping all over a better team that isn’t at its best. Auburn, SCAR, Florida, MSU exemplify that. Beating them is not easy.
  3. Beamer was so unnecessarily mouthy at the half. Could have easily said something like ā€œno, I’m not surprised, we’ve had great weeks of practice, we still believe we have things to accomplish, and now we need to come out and keep executing in the next half. Can’t forget we are playing a good team.ā€ Team fed off him and drove into a wall. He looked like a tweaker on the sideline.
  4. The football gods smote Beamer for hubris today.
  5. Nah, y’all are decent but not great. I’ve posted before so won’t again but GaTech got some great wins well beyond what should have been expected. It’s painful when the crash comes for sure. I promise that it’s easier on your ticker and brain to enjoy this sport by taking a step back and honestly looking at what you see. Rarely as bad or as good as it looks.
  6. Forced to bet something important? I’d take them on a neutral field.
  7. This is gonna be unpopular but: if you’re still dismissing Notre Dame, that’s all just based on message board smoke and not watching them play. They were not bad in the losses and are much better now. Carr is the young QB I’s choose to build my team around. Love will be in NYC and would be a contender if it wasn’t a QB aware. OL plays smart and tough, entire D has grown into themselves. Freeman is an excellent, excellent coach. They should be in the CFP and will be extremely scary from the bottom half of the bracket.
  8. Every season it’s the same story, overall a .500 record.
  9. Hats off to Elko and the AD for building the sickest ever roller coaster yet for me.
  10. Seems like that’s been reported three times or so in the past month….but, it will be a great hire for them. It’s completely possible he will have VaTech in the CFP before PSU fixes itself.
  11. That segment on the UGA TE and his brother punched me in the feels.
  12. This will do incredible things for mental health.
  13. Fetterman is nowhere near as bad as Sinema or Manchin; he’s a +90% D voter and those other two were around 70% or below. You get Senators like them because states like Pennsylvania and West Virginia exist.
  14. We have the same lawyer to blame for that. After he originally issued his extreme fatwa based on the 19th century anti-deficiency act, he moderated it by clarifying the ā€œlife, safety, etc.ā€ exception that formalized making people work without pay. Instead, he made the threat of shutdown just painful enough that it became useful as a weapon. It can’t be said enough: before this opinion Congress would get lazy and let funding lapse before getting around to it. People just kept going. No one cared. We could even argue things were more sane. This whole thing reminds me of dysfunctional self-harm rituals on a societal level. ā€œIf I fail this test I’ll cut myself, that will motivate me to study.ā€
  15. The House needed an additional signature on a discharge petition to move forward with an obligation to release. The new Arizona rep provides that, and could have long ago but Mike Johnson sent the House home and refused to swear her in until the Senate voted on a budget resolution.
  16. I’m workshopping an idea where these super conferences incorporate a ā€œpodā€ format that distills things down into a manageable, round-robin format to produce one champion. Maybe these pods could be regionally grouped and structured with important rivalries, and they’d be small enough where teams could also do fun or historic ā€œcrossoverā€ games with other pods. Then at the end of the year the pod champions could play other pod champions at a cool stadium in a neutral site, maybe name the games something local or evocative. IDK, probably not cooking here at all.
  17. 1. Everybody should be paid. ATC, essential workers, non-essential workers. 2. Congress doesn’t have to do shit to stop shutdowns. We didn’t have them until 1980. The AG then issued a legal opinion saying a shutdown was required if a budget wasn’t passed and no one questioned it. They just went along. Any AG at any time could issue a new one that says ā€œwe re-examined this and it turns out we were wrong in 1980. If Congress doesn’t pass a budget we will keep paying employees on credit and meeting ongoing obligations until they do.ā€ Literally that easy, can’t be repeated enough that this happens because political leaders want it to.
  18. Oh, wow, megaconferences with no clear divisions have arcane and counterintuitive routes to a championship? Been amazing to see how long it took sports media to internalize that the thing guaranteed to happen, would happen.
  19. Curious why? To be clear I think PSU is going to downgrade from Franklin most likely. Brohm is from Kentucky; State College is firmly in Pennsyltucky. He has Big 10 coaching experience at Purdue; lots of East Coast coaching ties. They could do worse in terms of fit.
  20. It’s all just noise to me at this point. You want to be poised to have a bye and enough meat yet to keep it or move up and get one. If you’re bunched at 1-4 it will work out. If A&M finished with wins over USCe and Texas while Indiana closes with Rutgers and Purdue, my eyes will raise a bit if we don’t jump at least IU. Either IU or OSU will take an L if not two given the Big Ten CCG. An undefeated SEC champ should be 1 overall and a 1 loss SEC champ should be no lower than 2 IMO. But could see the committee saying that tOSU stays 1 till they lose. If we lose a close one versus Texas and that shoves us behind both Bama and Georgia that will be obnoxious. Maybe justified based on overall body of work, but for sure not a clear-cut call.
  21. Whats the score? Who’s playing? Is this an important game? I didn’t know there was a team there!
  22. I used to work with this guy who was a real sad-sack. Always smelled bad, dressed all frumpy, and was this complete horn-ball who whined about not getting women. I felt bad for the guy, so I’d invite him out for beers to the strip club or Hooters to try and get his confidence up or break the mystique around women. He was super uptight about it though. I thought maybe he needed to unclog the pipes so I offered to let him use some of the porn I had at home. He didn’t want to though. Really picky for a guy who wasn’t getting laid. He eventually started hanging around more with this other guy at the office who talked a lot about eating ass. Don’t know what happened to them.
  23. What I like is to go to a bar by myself and look for other middle aged guys like me who are there alone. I figure they’d like someone to talk to so I try to break the ice, maybe by asking a bunch of questions about the game he’s watching or about the menu.
