    Finebaum’s primary argument this morning is founded on “FSU’S starting QB is injured”. No one is calling out the same situation with tOSU 10 years ago. It’s irritating me. Finebaum is stumping for the SEC as he should cause that’s his money but the talking heads should bring up tOSU to counteract his argument.

    This. It should Mich, Wash, FSU and Texas. Seeding is debatable. I say this as an OU alumn.

    Pretty simple. Wash and Mich are undefeated. The consensus opinion is these teams faced tough opponents, beat them, and played their way in. 2 spots left. tOSU and Oregon are out because they recently lost to mich and wash, respectively. FSU, texas, georgia and bama for two spots. Bama over georgia. That was decided Sat. Texas over bama. That was decided in tuscaloosa. Bama or FSUis the question.

    Bama had to convert a 4 and goal from the 31 yd line to win against a 6-5 auburn team. Texas already beat bama in tuscaloosa. I know this is unfathomable but maybe no SEC team played their way into the playoffs.

    So, teams can win without an exceptional QB.

    The argument of losing the starting QB falls apart when looking back to the first playoff in 2014. Ohio State was on their 3rd string QB, Cardell Jones. Jones first starting game was the big 10 champ game. tOSU was winning with their running game (zeke) and defense. Jones only threw 17 passes in the big 10 champ game. tOSU beat #1 bama in the semis and oregon in the champ game.

    Got 2 tickets on stubhub. My wife is a longhorn fan, and I’m an OU alumn. She went with me to the OU Georgia rose bowl a few years ago. I’m returning the favor and will be there for the horns.

    Am I missing something? What does this mean?

    Coming to austin tomorrow for the Fri and Sat night Houndmouth shows at Antoine’s.

    I suggest you carry a roll of toilet paper. When he makes some comment about your kids identifying as something, hand him the roll of toilet paper and say nothing; just look at him and wait for his questioning response. Then say, “oh I thought you might need this now that you identify as an asshole”.

    I prefer to do the ad absurdum approach and enthusiastically with them. I take the maga argument to such levels of ridiculous-ness that it becomes obvious it’s pure satire. They fall silent when I do it. I enjoy looking at their expressions and wonder if there’s an ounce of self reflection going on in there. I’m old and have zero dependence on any of them so it’s risk free.

    I’ve been interested in a couple of their styles. I tried on one pair at the tecovas on south congress and the other at northpark in dallas. Each pair had a dye defect. I took an uber in austin last month. The driver and I talked about boots. He said he used to work for tecovas and said they have QC issues. I want to like tecovas but their quality is suspect. If the finish is poor, I suspect what’s under the hood is defective as well.

    Average temps look to be low of 7 with high of 14. That’s very cold but not prohibitive. Was it windy there? Wind combined with those temps would be difficult to withstand.

    Wife and I were spitballing vacation ideas for the week between christmas and new years. Banff was suggested. Anyone been there? Suggestions on where to stay? Recommendations on skiing lake louis, banff or mt norquay? I boarded since ‘95 but have aged out of it. I ski blues. Not interested in moguls; looking for steep blues primarily. Wife is going for the views. I doubt she’ll put on skis but would get in a gondola to see the views. We’d prefer to be walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Seems like downtown banff kinda fits the bill but looking for suggestions.

    It is oddly remote, and the south side of the peninsula is oddly sparsely populated. Then you pop up in the port of LA. I’m in the logistics software biz and found the drive on the 47 over the port fascinating.

    Palos Verdes Estates -the views from the north side of the peninsula to redondo beach are epic. But goddamn, that’s a rough commute to USC everyday as opposed to driving around norman.

    I made a prediction on some other thread a week or two ago - Riley to Univ of Miami. Riley likes cities as opposed to college towns. Great pool of recruits. Although, I’m unsure if there’s a good NIL program at miami.

    That ain’t God talking; it’s the undiagnosed schizophrenia.

    A thread on the indictments of a former president derailing into submissions of the dorkiest band. Classic surly. Well done.

    I think NFL owners will shy away from Riley. You need to field a defense in the NFL. Riley has shown he’s incompetent wrt any aspect of defense or choosing a defensive coordinator. I suspect NFL owners consider Coach Bro’s experience at the cardinals as a lesson in college coaches who know nothing about defense. Recruiting to Miami would be easy given the HS talent there. I have no clue if Miami has a NIL program but I suspect there’s wealthy people around miami that just want to be hangers-on and are willing to pay through the nose for the privilege.

    Doing yardwork this morning, I came up with a crazy-assed idea that Riley is interviewing elsewhere. The year he left ou, it was apparent in retrospect he was mailing it in. Ou won a lot of games but the team was scraping by games that should’ve been blowouts. Riley was pissed that ou was going sec. Same thing happened at usc except now he has a lot more travel to the rust belt. I think he wasn’t into the small town life on norman. Granted, it would be a pain in the ass to get coaching advice when you’re just trying to buy stuff at the grocery store. In a city, no one gives a shit who you are. I’m calling my shot. Riley to Univ of Miami. It may be the bourbon talking.

    I bet she has no idea that Harbor Freight’s HQ is in the liberal hellscape of Calbasas CA just north of the Santa Monica Mountains. I’v made that drive from Calabasas to Malibu through those mountain pass. Say what you will about HF tools but that’s a pretty much ideal location.
