  1. Past hour
  2. You mean in one whole year of playoff history it has never been done? Wow, stop the presses.
  3. 100 percent accurate. And to complicate things further, stats start doing counter-intuitive things that go against the way people colloquially talk about a “difficult” schedule. Two simplified models for the five game “meat” of two schedules: Team A: Four games where they have a 75 percent chance of winning, one game that is very hard against a very good opponent and they have a 25 percent chance of winning. Team B: Five games, they are all favored, all have a 60 percent chance of winning. The probability of running the table for both teams is basically identical (a bit under 8 percent), and in fact Team B has a slightly lower chance. But most fans and observers will greatly reward Team A because of that one very good win, and comparatively dismiss Team B because they are all games that they “should have won.” And that’s where a committee needs to plunge beyond surface “best wins/losses” discussions and get deeper on analytics when weighing teams. In general, humans tend to do two things when looking back at events have have happened whether sports, elections, or games of chance: 1. Are over-impressed when something happens that is “against the odds,” even something that only has a 10 or 5 percent chance of happening WILL happen. And when it does, it doesn’t mean the original odds were wrong. 2. Are under-impressed when something happens that the “odds favor,” as cumulatively these things begin plummeting quickly.
  4. I love this. Sorta like a "call phone flop out".
  5. Pretty reasonable stance by Mexico considering their past and present. If you can barely control los indios/bandidos/carteles/whatever-they-call-em-next-year, you don't need to encourage extra filibusteros and other pirates trying to peel off new strips of land. Oh right. He "forget."
  6. I mean, yeah. Pretty much. We could have stayed in the Big 12 and had an easier path to the playoffs. That is correct. No one has made the playoffs as a three loss team. It's gonna happen one day. But I don't think we have a particularly strong case to be that team when we lost to a team that fired its coach and has only one other conference win, had to perform a miraculous comeback to win against a team with only one conference win (with that lone win coming against Arkansas who has zero conference wins), and was forced into overtime against a team with only two conference wins. So yeah, if you're hoping to sneak into the playoffs as a three loss team, you can't have a bad loss like Florida while also looking completely lost for half the year.
  7. This clown show is more looking more and more like this:
  8. He's gonna need a bigger mullet.
  9. Eyes pretty close together. So def aggy. story seems plausible. does wife know she’s married to you?
  10. Front left is the daughter, right is one of the twins that played the son (other one killed himself awhile back). Suitcase in corner is funny. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/everybody-loves-raymond-reunion-five-023000543.html
  11. There should be a generally sad reaction. For texts like this when generally good but misguided people realized they fucked up. Like this, but in a reaction:
  12. 52-80

    2025 Christmas

    wife and i decided we wanted to explore the landscape of flavors of rum flavors - our new favorite sips - through 2025 xmas “gifting”. basically a flimsy pretense to restock the liquor cabinet.
  13. Jumpman Jr. is still one of my favorite games.
  14. Man, I need to bone up on violent revenge and immortality.
  15. when you're to the hilt on coke or quaaludes anything is funny
  16. Well, when I first saw this bit I was five. So physical comedy was my jam. I thought Mr. Bill was the peak of comedic humor.
  17. That was fast, officially official.
  18. holy shit - this kid from san diego is the meat pimp of merit badging - all 140 also, brisket, ask your cousin if his scoop is classified, or do we all need to put in sell orders for market opening tomorrow?
  19. True, but that team has quit. A bunch of them are sitting out or hurt. It’s not the same team.
  20. I never understood why Steve Martin’s stand up was funny to people.
  21. Trump was simply pissed off he couldn't brag about "hot chick's on a yacht" again because there was no invite again to Jambo #TotallyPoliticalPost #FKegseth
  22. Looks like weather may be a factor in this one. We’ll see.
  23. Yep. We were moving the spy around all game. 4 is the spy here and by the time he is peeling off the pressure look the ball is already coming out. In 99% of football if a guy in Taafe's position sees the RB leave the backfield they go with them. We used to call this a green dog blitz back in the day. Not sure what the kids call it now.
