Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

You mean in one whole year of playoff history it has never been done? Wow, stop the presses. -
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.

I love this. Sorta like a "call phone flop out".

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."

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. -

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:

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.

True, but that team has quit. A bunch of them are sitting out or hurt. It’s not the same team. -
I never understood why Steve Martin’s stand up was funny to people.

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 -
Looks like weather may be a factor in this one. We’ll see.

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.
