They don't have the 80s JS payroll advantage. FedEx ain't deliverin' a win for them this time.

Mensa qualification = top 2% on any of over 200 accepted "intelligence" tests. Allowing for variation of performance day to day and instrument to instrument, it is fair to estimate that sets the bar at roughly 4% of the population eligible. Other than special programs, Texas auto-admits top 6% by exactly one metric, one that does not permit re-takes. So Mensa is perhaps slightly more selective than is Texas. And is full of nerds who think scoring well on a standardized test is something about which they should structure their lives. Plus/minus coke, monkeys, and strippers.

I've not read the entire thread, nor have I gone back to watch the game over. I may be wrong, but I have come to think a few things on this matter: 1. QE, though a man of significant talent, can not be relied upon to take the top off a defense 2. Playoff teams will scheme for this and smother us. The only really good team we've played handled us. 3. All wise-cracks aside, Arch may give us a chance to hit those throws 4. It stinks to bench a starting QB, especially when we sit at 9-1, but it needs to happen because 5. The future is likely to be better the sooner we start working on it in games Hookem and thanks, Quinn, but I think its time to let the team move on

Here's some avocado dip, Quinn

Duck around and find out

Yes, I was re-designating it rather than following the Aggie lead.

One of the first symptoms of Brainless Aggie Syndrome (aka "BAS" or, less redundantly, "aggy") is the crippling and nearly complete inability to take in information that contradicts a fantasy worldview. Close behind is the departure of the capacity to draw simple conclusions from clear and relevant data.

This would be helpful, as would breaking up crews and assigning officials as individuals and tracking officials with quality metrics. There should never be a "team" wearing black and white stripes. If you are a quality official, you don't need any kind of "continuity" to interact with the other officials. You position yourself according to your assigned role and watch what you should accord to your assigned role. If someone on your crew is making a mistake, you have incentives to speak up in-game and after the fact to ensure you don't get the mark of shame for missed calls made by your fellow officials.

What would 16 look like? Autobids for top 6 conference champs and top 3 CCG losers, 7 at large? Retain top auto-seeding of conference champions? Conferences won't like a plan that diminishes the value of their CCG unless they are highly confident in the offsetting gains stemming from the new way, and maybe not even then.

Is that when you give a cynical Brit an enema?

Cignetti?

Not being an ag, I would rather spit and roast the pig than engage it intimately, however violent that contact might be.

Meh, by joining we would have 1. ditched the B12, its officials, and its officers; 2. resumed more frequent games against the aforementioned teams; 3. begun to schedule games against Bama, Georgia, Florida, etc on the (semi-)regular; 4. secured a spot in a much more financially rewarding conference; 5. removed a massive recruiting disadvantage; 6. avoided ever having to play at Tech or Cougar High again among other benefits. If the schedule collectively only had only one or the other of Arkansas or A&M, I think travesty might be a bit of a strong word. I like re-opening the rivalries in a general sense, but the Aggies are piss-poor rivals. They and hopeful future ones run their yaps incessantly with boasting when they win and pissing on Texas when A&M loses. They whine, cry, and generally spread their obnoxious idiocy much more loudly since we are back in conference with them. Winning doesn't shut them up the way it does fans I know of other schools we play. They're too aggy consciously to process their status.

Nooo waai, man. Even if yer built like a brick house, ya gots ta show out. Gag me with a spoon about not talking jive. Can you dig it? Bitchin rad words like tuddy are tooootally here to stay, man.

That's a little bit favorable, but I'll allow it.

Maybe Utah would rather help paddle OSU's and WSU's canoe. I don't remember UU's outrage on our behalf on the occasions that refs jobbed us. They were snug and happy in their west coast league with no concerns about B12 refs. Then their shared business plan of group freeloading on the media demand for USC games fell through. They had every opportunity to do something called due diligence. KM is not new to the B12. If they cared about officiating, they should have addressed it before signing up for the money (once their old stream dried up). I abhor the way bad officiating ruins a game, but Utah walked into a league previously quite publicly rife with bad officiating. They have to sleep in the bed in which they lie.

SEC refs call far from perfect games, but the pain of being under B12 refs was inhumane. Good riddance to that trash fire.

I would love to claim credit, but it is an homage to Home Alone.

I saw the list. In fairness, who minors in petroleum engineering? It had never occurred to me that one would minor in engineering at all.

Grade 2 sprain means on a macro level that part of the tendon is torn in 2. Either (a) he was never going to play, (2) he was going to fail miserably and worsen his injury, or (d) the MRI report that was in the wind was false.

All the young Surlyites should be getting into nursing school if they can. Seriously, though. Become anesthesia APNs and get hired starting at minimum 100/hr.

Playing one week after a grade 2 hamstring strain is crazy.

Except 1915-1919

I am not offended, and thank you for the thought! Hookem!
