Ann Arbor / Detroit (Y'all are coming for the UT-UM game, right?)
As a note, the area between Orchestra Hall and SS is fine, but IME the other directions can get desolate and sketchy quick. Also, the area around the Shinola hotel is lots of fun, and I really enjoy Le Supreme, which is located in that area.

Seldon Standard is top notch, can confirm.

SEC Catch-all Thread
I'm a Vandy grad from the Dallas area, got a graduate degree from Texas. Some of the Vandy fandom is shitty, just like some of the student body, but there are plenty of good, dedicated fans. Even more so when considering the general nature of the product.

Ann Arbor / Detroit (Y'all are coming for the UT-UM game, right?)
I've taken the Wolverine a few times, typically from Detroit to Chicago. The stop in Detroit is in a fine part of town, not far from the DIA and other cool things, but the station area is not a hopping place at night. It'll likely be pretty empty, YMMV on how you feel about that. I figure you will be with other fans who make the same transportation choice, so that's probably good for feeling safe in a city you don't know. If you hang out in the station till your ride appears, you'll be fine. I'd do uber instead of parking a rental there, personally. The A2 stop is close enough to the stadium, and if you are exploring the campus it's sort of on the way to the stadium. Depends on how much you like to walk. You will get to avoid the hassle of game day parking and the traffic headed into A2. There is a lot to do there after the game, so I wouldn't worry about filling time till your return train. The train itself was always fine. Clean, charging ports, etc. I found it to be reasonably on time as long as the weather isn't crazy.

Season Ticket Renewal
This is what I did for the Michigan game this year. Hoping it works out. They haven’t announced the cost of the season tickets yet. Not sure what the secondary market is for Vandy games? When I went to college there, games always had lots of empty seats.

We could ask him, but I would be afraid of the length of the answer.

Ann Arbor / Detroit (Y'all are coming for the UT-UM game, right?)
I live a little north of Detroit. Great place to live, lots of fun stuff to do. Some really cool architecture. Things have changed since I moved here in 2009. Some run down parts of town, but no worse than any of the other big cities I’ve lived in. Ann Arbor is a nice college town. I work there periodically, and it’s a fun place to visit. The big house is a great place to watch a game. I take my son to a game every year, and it’s always a good atmosphere. Detroit isn’t particularly close to AA, and the game day traffic can be bad. If you don’t plan to get there really early, 14 can be a tough slog. If you can make it work in AA, I would. If you’re just looking for a cheap place to stay, Ypsilanti is a drab town, but it has a state university, Eastern Michigan. I bet there will be hotels there, and it’s much closer than Detroit. Lansing is about equidistant to AA relative to Detroit. It’s not a town I enjoy visiting, though MSU has a beautiful campus. Another option.

Tell me about Iowa State
What do you mean? The point was that ISU plays down to teams worse than them every year. ISU was a 9 point favorite, was ranked 23 spots higher in SP+, and had a higher composite recruiting ranking. You stated Memphis had more talent than ISU and the players they have now are better, but all the above disagrees. Teams play up and beat more talented teams all the time.

Tell me about Iowa State
5 year composite recruiting rankings don't agree.

Tell me about Iowa State
Maybe if you build your culture around out-efforting more talented programs, it’s hard to find the effort against the schools with similar or worse talent. Seems like ISU plays shitty against a bad team every year.

The Home Stretch - Big 12 Championship Scenarios
ABC just said Texas is in with a win or a KSU win or a OSU loss. They also said KSU is eliminated. OU needs OSU to lose or Texas and KSU to lose.

Good point. I assume the conference doesn’t see it that way, but that’s the way it is worded.
-
The Home Stretch - Big 12 Championship Scenarios
I think the confusion is if the tiebreaker re-ranks when it restarts. If not, then the above scenario holds as Texas has the best record against the number 4 teams. If we start all over and rerank with Oklahoma as 1, then OSU has a better record against the highest common opponent, OU.
-

Yeah, you are right.

I think is the next highest common opponent. I think it comes down to Kansas vs Tech’s ranking order.

Fuck Big 12 refs
Just coming here to say that! So frustrating. And reviewable, as well.

Have we mentioned that Mitchell was clearly being interfered with on the called back TD?

Jim Harbaugh NO LONGER coaches at Michigan
"... the pride of Lake Orion" That's the same Lake Orion (LOHorn) from my handle. Maybe I can get to the bottom of all this. Or maybe I am Conner Stallions myself and this is all part of my reconnaissance for when the Horns play Meat Chicken in the playoffs.
