    I think we'll cover the spread? Based on BU being on more of a high after a mostly easy whipping of Kansas. Also with so many days off coming up, no reason for our guys not to ball out until the final whistle, even if we're behind most of the time. Backdoor cover

    I rarely cry "refs" either but that was a trophy-changing call

    This will go great

    I like the theory that USA is bound for Philly on July 4, assuming a favorable path to the final 16

    Glad I'm not there this weekend, but really curious what it will be like. So many of the strip hotel rooms will be occupied by NFL or NFL-adjacent employees who have strict no-gambling clauses in their contracts. Then cheap-ass Niners fans who are always in Vegas anyway. Kinda suspect there will be a lot of empty $50+ tables at the mid-range casinos. I also think a lot of people fly out before the game on Sunday, which is unusual for a Vegas SB weekend.

    Where are they now update....

    John Ourand wouldn't be wrong about something this big. Congrats again to O's fans. Private equity generally sucks but has to be better than whatever the Angelos family would have done

    I've stayed in Livonia a few times. It's convenient to the airport and Ann Arbor, without going through Detroit. Mostly chain hotels and restaurants, but there are plenty of them so cost isn't bad. If you stay right by the airport (Romulus), there are practically no restaurants or activities. Game day traffic is kind of like Norman, OK...there just aren't many options so prepare to go early. Luckily there's lots to do and see around the stadium and the weather should be nice (or not as hot as Texas, at least). Glad to hear Detroit is rehabbing well. So much potential left over from the auto days

    Lots of fucking in this show. Reminds me of a saying I heard way back, I think it was about Upper Peninsula Michigan: In the summer, all they do is fish and fuck. In the winter, they don't fish.

    The Eagles winning at the Cardinals' stadium today would be salt in the wound here in Philly

    11 am local kickoff, looks like a Cardinals pre-season game in there CFP expanding just in time, because the four non-playoff "NY6" bowls have been total duds

    Actual Traylor quote during the trophy presentation:

    It was refreshing to see that big digital effects don't have to be used constantly throughout a movie. After a few of the slow/exposition parts, I realized each of the Godzilla scenes was going to be even more badass than the previous. So it was worth waiting through the quiet dialogue scenes (which weren't too cheesy or anything).

    I saw this at SoFi, it's legit. Not sure how many suites Revel has, but they will sell out. I think it's possible to not spend a dollar on food/beverage the entire afternoon/evening if you're in this package. (Morning you're on your own if that's your thing)

    I can believe no one used the term "SEC" in the meeting. But they know damn well what's at stake if they downgrade Bama. While I don't feel the slightest bit for FSU and their fans, those two backup QBs got a really raw deal. Basically their entire program was sent to the kiddie table because they couldn't score a couple TDs. It's good that there are two of them otherwise one dude would be a college football Buckner/Bartman for life.
  16. Bartles
    All this Mandel bashing is appreciated, but his initial point that the committee can sidestep the H2H argument by ranking Bama 2-3 spots ahead of us is definitely plausible. Our main hope is they decide a QB-less FSU would be overwhelmed in a semifinal.

    He's from Hershey PA so now I actually like him

    I'm sad that I'm aging out of GameDay's target demo but more sad that ESPN is gonna fuck up the strategy of reaching the new demo. If they even need a new demo.

    Aaron Nola staying in Philly! Seven years and $172 million

    Least "celebrity" celebrity guest picker I can recall. I'd have gone with the JMU lacrosse coach or something. But I know I'm not the target demo for this clown (or McAfee for that matter)

    Pete sure typed that in a hurry

    Guarantee you the unspoken policy is we aren't doing shit until they play PSU and tOSU. Because a loss in either/both of those games allows everyone to stand down and save face. CFP can easily find four better teams, then the school and Harbaugh have tons of reasons for him to take a leave of absence for whatever bowl they're assigned. If they somehow make 12-0, the Big Ten will need to show its marbles or lack thereof.

    Bochy seemed to have a similar overall presence. Let the veterans do their thing, but trust the young guys as well without having to scream in their face. A lot of the country doesn't realize how many legit baseball fans have followed the Rangers for decades. Dallas folks played a part, but there are so many families from mid-cities, FW and even further who have been paying customers since Arlington Stadium. They didn't demand fancy stadiums with suites, they just wanted a winner. Congrats to all of you who finally get to enjoy it. And I don't think the Phillies would have beaten TEX. Presumably some better games, but the Rangers lineup was relentless.

    I'll seriously take all that over what most cities go through. The entire season is more exciting because you know you've got a chance. Then the whole city is bustling with excitement for however long the playoff run lasts. Me and several friends have been saying we're not sure our livers can take a World Series this week. The finality does suck, but we move on to our NFC champs showing no signs of backing off. Funny thing about that graphic, in terms of shocking defeats, the MLS one was probably worst. Had the lead in fucking stoppage time of extra time

    Props to Arizona. They figured out how to pitch us, tons of off speed mostly out of the zone. In a Game 7 our meatheads were chasing all that. Go Rangers. Lots of folks been waiting since the Arlington Stadium days
