  1. I was trying to find different ways to offer advice to someone who looked to be hurting that I thought might lead that person to find a path that would be less painful with my recent posts. The ones about the rape programs were just straight up unsolicited opinion. Sorry if I offended with either.
  2. It is the rare internet denizen that engages in arguments ready to be swayed by evidence offered contrary to his opinion. Armed with this knowledge, those not enjoying the tilt may wish to consider how much they truly help themselves with each additional rejoinder, however compelling they find their own lines of reasoning.
  3. I actually heard that you were special. Now you know, too. Congratulations.
  4. If we were there, every team would practice for us year-round and make us their Super Bowl, and B12 refs would oversee the action.
  5. 1a Pedo State 1b Baylor 2 3 OU 4 5 (as one hates to have stepped in something) A&M For me, the covering up (and punishing victims of) rape thing is unfathomably bigger than anything else.
  6. The average clavicle fracture will heal without surgery over the course of 2+ months. Some are bad enough they won't heal without surgery. With surgery in a young athlete, I would expect good healing within about 6 weeks.
  7. Especially should ISU stumble, Boise could potentially get a bye and force the b12 champ to slide into the 5th champion spot.
  8. Your land is given to whoever beats you each time you lose. The Aggies have taken land since losing their initial allotment. ND lost what it had when playing NIU and hasn't claimed enough new land yet I guess. If you beat people who already have a loss, they may have nothing to forfeit to you.
  9. Dominate comes from the Latin adjectival dominatus (from the deponent dominor), and in addition to its most common usage as a verb, it can also be used in its more etymologically congruent sense of what we more commonly term dominant. Be careful correcting grammar or diction, lest you be corrected.
  10. I thought it was started after the 2020 season and before PK coached a down of D at Texas. I don't know/remember what the original title was. Those who expected him to field a D worthy of the Texas name in his first season and before NIL had a chance to overcome the Baggins clan might not have been entirely rational in their criticisms and/or expectations.
  11. Back when things didn't count, what with their being an all-male millaterry colludge.
  12. That's fair. I like: A field that includes the top 10-- no legit claimant to the NC should be left out. A reward for winning the conference (the bye is a great reward IMO) A chance for at least one Cinderella (the 5th conference champ is a good choice IMO) Not so many teams that the importance of excellence in the regular season is diminished In short, I like the 12-team field. But I understand that not everyone sees it my way.
  13. If you have 16 and give the top four a bye, you have 10 teams standing in the second round. 12 with byes basically is a 16-team format but kicking the bottom four teams out in recognition that they would never have won it.
  14. If refs don't call hits on QBs that are already sliding, they are begging for fights. No self-respecting OL is going to sit around and let guys take free shots at their QB. This was an officiating failure.
  15. He has 2 fewer wins than Indy, and he looks to be in a place with which he is not altogether familiar.
  16. I hope and can half-believe that we are witnessing phase I of our breaking OU. Not broken as badly as UNL, but dropped from their perch nevertheless. The 12-team format rewards being the big dog of a conference. OU's following us to the SEC means that their days of being "the" big dog in Big8/Big12 are definitively over. They have a significant fan base and non-zero state commercial support for NIL, but they are unlikely to match what we can now do for D/FW guys and other contested potential players. They have been living on "Sooner Magic," the mystical power of pre-NIL cheating and/or dominating MBTF/FUPM squads (followed by the dark days of Strong Tom). They don't have an unfair advantage or a functionally retarded opposing coach to help them. Their recipe for success, regardless of their own perception of it, has been based on bullying, cheating, and our beta behavior at the CB. Now they have tier 2 NIL, a blue blood reputation, proximity to Dallas, and the prestige of being in a P2 conference. But now they can be bullied, and our having a down year won't give them freebie shots at national prominence, should it occur: Bama, UGA, etc. are all going to be elbowing for the front of the conference position. A great coach could still lift them to great seasons. But they may not be fortunate enough to find a great many great coaches, and I am here for it. I hope/think they may be headed toward post-cheating A&M-level long-term success.
  17. Oh no harm no foul, I just couldn't pass on the cheap bilingual pun I used to point out the spelling issue. None of us has time to proof our posts to perfection.
