    Fox is incapable of hosting a meaningful debate. There are probably 100s of YouTube accounts that would do a better job. 

    I'm in a good mood (because I've just transferred my liquid retirement fund to physical gold), but I don't think this was that bad.

    Take Desantis and Vivek out of this and it's not just barely odious.  For the Republican Party, that's high praise.

  2. So who are we rooting for?  Without thinking, I'm thinking that the least odious three are, in order Christie, Scott and Hutchinson.)

    I don't know Burgum but North Dakota should be an Indian Territory at best and shouldn't even have a Governor or or two senators.

  3. Eh, so depressing.  I was an undergrad during the Elway years, and we didn't have that many people then either, and given that the stadium then held over 80K, it wasn't a great look.  But you could take kegs into the stadium and it was pretty damn fun. 

    Was about 18 rows up from the trombone player at Cal at the Big Game with The Play.

    It's hard not to imagine that if this were happening a decade ago that Stanford would have gotten a closer looks from the Big10.  It's too bad they couldn't have kept the southern cal rivalries front and center, and competitive.

    Please explain to me why the Big 12, a conference who should be desperate to raise their academic standing, wouldn't take arguably the preeminent academic university in the world, who is dying to be added?

    Harvard was my safety school. 

    You wouldn't understand a thing I said if I tried to explain it to you.

    Who cares.  Harvard has a better academic reputation than Stanford. Nobody is trying to add them to the ACC.  The academics don't matter at all.

    Stanford and Cal should form a league with Rice, SMU, Tulane, etc.  Pull in Duke and Georgia Tech eventually when the ACC crumbles.  Be the "smart conference that also cares a little about sports".  Own it.  Stop partnering with the Oregon States of the world.

    That's a really misinformed statement and you should feel bad about it.  Stanford's academic rep has been on the same level as Harvards for the past few decades under any measuring stick. But more relevant to this discussion, the athletic success has been way about the schools you mention.  Stanford has had success in NY bowl games in recent memory, but those schools don't come close to Stanford in terms of frankly ANY sports other than Duke in basketball. 

    We live in a new sports world and Stanford doesn't fit in any currrent model very well, but your post pretty dumb.
