  1. Past hour
  2. Closer to 70:1 today. My average purchase price ratio was 55:1. I hear you about not swapping until the ratio drops even more, but the thought of carrying just 3 oz of gold instead of lugging around 240 oz of silver (that I don't intend to keep in the long run*) sounds wonderful. * Keeping my maples, libertads, Fijis and a bag of Franklins.
  3. I cant count how many holidays my parents insisted everyone come to their tiny house and wouldn't have a fucking thing to eat, drink, etc. Those gatherings lasted about an hour before everyone would leave to eat at an Indian or Chinese restaurant. I'd go to a friends where they already had a place set for me.
  4. The playoff system is for a field of 16 teams, with four slots decided by play-in games. Notre Dame and the Group of 6 would have to play their way in, even if they're ranked number one in the AP poll. Why? Because fuck ND they need to join a conference, and I want the Group of 6 to maintain their sacrificial lamb status without being in the 16-team field. Only four teams would be selected by the committee, and the rules could require them to choose from the eight highest-ranked teams that didn't earn an automatic bid through a BCS-type formula. They'd have to explain in writing, with a press release, why each selected team is ranked ahead of the teams they bypassed. Structure: The playoff system includes 12 automatic qualifiers and 8 play-in teams, with 4 pay-in teams being automatic qualifiers and 4 being at-large play-in teams. Each Power 4 conference ends up with a predetermined number of automatic qualifiers (SEC: 4, BIG10: 4, BIG12: 2, ACC: 2). Each Power 4 conference ends up with one play-in automatic qualifier, and each of those teams gets to host a play-in game, with the hosting conference keeping the revenue. 4 at-large play-in teams are selected by a committee, with one being for the Group of 6. Committee seeds play-in match-ups and play-off field after play-in game Key benefits: Group of 6 team gets booted during play in weekend. If we are the team that gets to play these guys we probably can do it with our backups and reduce injury risk. We at worst end up in a play in game playing weak ass ACC, BIG12, or lower tier BIG10 team to get into 16 team field. The play-in games remove the argument of conference bias by sending the weak conference teams home with on-the-field results. The system replaces the conference championship game revenue, as those games will become irrelevant.
  5. If teams get into a playoff based on their performance during the season (duh) then there has to be scheduling parity to have anything that makes sense. Because of money, we can't and won't have scheduling parity. There has to be a financial reason to change this fucked up system and right now, there is not. Maybe having both Texas and ND miss the playoffs this year would spur some change. But you've got schools in the Big 10 and SEC making $70M per school per year. Are any of those schools going to voluntarily give up tens of millions of dollars just to make a "cleaner" or "more fair" playoff system. FUCK no. This is a financial problem, not an idea problem.
  6. Isn’t it John Strong (?) who always says that? Maybe they both do
  7. He’s going to fuck it all up. He will be on the hot seat within two years and then it will implode. He probably can’t help himself, but fuck him.
  8. I don't disagree, but I also don't see the harm in Texas throwing their hat in the ring and being mentioned a team vying for that kind of talent. Also, it tweaks the fuck out of some of the dipshits on this board, and that is its own reward.
  9. The BOD meeting has two agenda items. 1) Approve Matt Campbell contract. 2) Fire AD.
  10. Sure but it cost us absolutely nothing to get involved with the potential being massive
  11. Nothing fake about a big $$$ offer. It would've been a bit bizarre if he chose us. It doesnt hurt a single thing to have our hat on the table in a super public announcement. If nothing else it's a signal to other recruits that we are still currently dropping big money.
  12. "pending indictments" refers to indictments that were pending.
  13. Rob Stone sighting - FOURTY FIVE MINUTES DOWN!! FOURTY FIVE MINUTES TO GO!!!
  14. This thread has gone about as well for OP as the one about ditching the Bowl game thread did for that OP.
  15. Crazy story. Bey has indicated that once he turns 18 he will almost certainly switch to Ohio State. It looks like Tenessee will grant his release and good on them for doing what the kid wants.
  16. He definitely rethought his situation, but he has almost no relationship with Texas, the decision was likely always between Ohio State and Oregon.
  17. Man, Woman, Person, Camera, TV ... Ball with name inside.
  18. haha his dumbass just looks so goofy
  19. Opening these balls is considered a cognitive test for Trump.
  20. Paramount had agreed to re-release Rush Hour 4 to please the director of the new Melania movie. Netflix probably needs to do a Don Jr movie where plays the role of John Matrix as a Commando taking down the Venezuelan cartels.
  21. Oh come on, Donald is just getting into his material.
  22. What the crap is this?
