Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
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. -

Official 2025 Holiday Insanity Bitchfest
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. -

What’s Your Preferred Playoff Format?
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. -

What’s Your Preferred Playoff Format?
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.
