  1. They can't come out and say "Iowa can't make the CFP without help" or "We need to keep Charleston Southern on our schedule" so instead we get weeks of posturing. Neither B1G (4 guaranteed spots) nor SEC (stay at 8 conf games) has a good argument. At least at this point we're basically having a stare down over whether Iowa or South Carolina makes it in a certain year. Not a ton of money involved either way.
  2. Attendance at bowls and fan travel are the last things they're thinking about. Those get dwarfed financially by the TV rights
  3. Sappy finale but I guess they know their audience. Same reason they were always brief and vague about the Gilead revolution and takeover. Viewers like us on this board would be into that but the show is about the women and their struggle.
  4. 16 of the Eagles' 17 games next season will be against teams who voted to ban the tush push. Of the nine teams that voted with the Eagles, only Detroit is on their 2025 schedule. Seems like they lobbied mostly non-west AFC teams who could force the AFC West (plus Buffalo) to face the tush push and maybe hurt their wild card chances a little bit.
  5. LOL your spoiler is why I turned it off early
  6. Pussy ass haters shut up and send your D-lines to the weight room
  7. Unfortunately women's college softball is a very choke-prone sport. Liberty needed to pile on after 6-0. They're fucked now, next game will probably be a blowout too.
  8. Love this format. Fuck a loser's bracket
  9. Tiger Stadium and Ford Stadium are both (partially) in the official graphic at the top of the page
  10. ^ Same here. I think TWD got so bad, and I stayed with it so long, that it hastened my abandonment of this series. There's probably some really good parts happening, given the acting and cinematography, but not worth enduring even 1-2 weekly scenes that are TWD redux
  11. I hope it comes out they got their negotiating strategy from The White Lotus finale
  12. The word "strategy" didn't enter my mind until watching last night's games. Probably for the best as I would have bombed out with BYU or something if I got cute.
  13. I'm about to be 0-6. Strategy of picking low seeds only works if you pick the right ones.
  14. Bulletin board material! I'll be faxing this to the hotels of my selected teams
  15. Robert Morris @Derka
  16. Agh, I'm still awake so Montana @HornOnTheBayou
  17. It's midnight for me, so if it gets to my pick that will be in the morning
  18. 1 seeds: Auburn 8 seeds: Miss St 9 seeds: Baylor, Creighton, OU 14 seeds: Lipscomb, Montana, Troy, UNC Wilmington 15 seeds: Bryant, Omaha, Robert Morris, Wofford 16 seeds: Alabama St, Norfolk, SIUE and the winner of American/Mt St Mary
  19. Oh yeah, I saw that but just typed it anyway....Auburn is the final #1
  20. While we wait for Huck's return, my review indicates these teams are unpicked: 1 seeds: Auburn 8 seeds: Miss St 9 seeds: Baylor, Creighton, OU 14 seeds: Lipscomb, Montana, Troy, UNC Wilmington 15 seeds: Bryant, Omaha, Robert Morris, Wofford 16 seeds: Alabama St, Norfolk, SIUE and the winner of American/Mt St Mary Pretty sure it's accurate as there are 17 teams listed and that's how many picks remain
  21. Same here, but it's just as bad to watch your blue bloods passed up by someone else's high seed for just winning a game or two. As I recall, this thing is often settled or at least down to a couple guys when the Final Four starts.
  22. Utah State @Derka
  23. Ah that was my pick. So on to the next, challenge accepted: UCONN @HornOnTheBayou
  24. ^ Speaking of "bad for a couple months"
