    Starship troopers the book is a longing adoration for jingoism and fascism without a hint of irony.

    Starship troopers the movie is dedicated to pointing out how fucking stupid the book is and making fun of its ideals

    This is a great one. When what you've been asked to adapt is sophomoric, satirize it. 

    I want Verhoeven to do Heinlein's full catalog.

  2. I don't disagree with OP's belief that the CFP is destroying college football. 

    The difference is, I see it as removing pestilence, not wrecking a work of art. 

    Paying players, allowing them to transfer, having a real playoff and getting rid of the old boy network bullshit that gave some schools a boost just for being those schools are curing a sickness that infested college football for far too long. The old ways were rancid and vile. Fuck em. 

    I'll take a missed playoff opportunity here and there over the bullshit we had before.

    Well, I'm not a Star Wars geek.

    I find your lack of faith disturbing.

     

    Anyway, Notre Dame picking up their ball and going home since they (rightfully) did NOT earn a playoff berth is the funniest thing about this whole postseason.

    First off, you don't see Texas whining about this. "It's not about what happened to us, it's about what are we going to do moving forward." And yeah, Michigan is a great opponent, Orlando is a great place to play. Nothing shitty about that. ND vs BYU in the absolutely legendary Pop Tart bowl would've been great, too. That ND can't see that just shows how petty and stupid it is.

    Having both of our teams out will move the playoffs to 16 teams, at a minimum, and sooner rather than later. We both have a right to be in it, and everyone knows that, to say nothing of the sheer money being left on the table. I'll be surprised if the Citrus Bowl doesn't get more eyeballs and generate more money than most of the playoff games.

    But ND's little hissy fit is gonna be remembered, and not in a nice way. I think this will be the moment that Notre Dame will more or less permanently move into the realm of "Great CFB Has-Beens That Never Will Be Again" along with Yale, Rutgers, Georgia Tech (sorry, bugs) and Clemson (lol).

    This bickering about which loss kept us out is silly.  Let's imagine a collection of road games against top 5 teams VS a collection of road games against teams barely in the top 40.  Which opponents are more likely in the long run to saddle us with losses (which are apparently the #1 criteria of the committee)?

    you really missed an opportunity to start with "this bickering is pointless"
