  1. Houston Baptist Huskies driving to tie the game!
  2. There should be conference wide relegation or something in play if a conference goes 0-3 against the Sun Belt on a given day.
  3. This is as embarrassing as anything that has happened today with respect to the Big 12. What a garbage conference.
  4. I think it's more of a downward trend in talent than anything.
  5. B12 going 0-2 against the Sun Belt today lmao.
  6. I don’t think he was really guilty of doing this on Thursday, although it’s a problem that has been a persistent problem for him in the past. BOB is obviously the main culprit and the way he has been permitted to manage the org does not speak well to the oversight provided by the McNairs. Good owners hire well and provide oversight. The McNairs on the other hand are fucking idiots and the Texans fans best hope for the future of the franchise is a Donald Sterling situation.
  7. Watson is pretty good, maybe as good as Dak. He does have a bad habit of holding on to the ball though.
  8. Even in situations where they aren't covering up some malfeasance, I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't done deliberately to build up the idea that only quacks question the official account of a given event. The government lies about pretty much everything but when it comes to one of the most important events in our lives don't you dare question it.
  9. You're assuming that they are not taking that additional context into consideration, which is incorrect.
  10. If there is no connection, then why is the Justice Department keeping the FBI files closed as a state secret? The reason why the files must remain secret is even a secret lol. https://www.propublica.org/article/attorney-general-barr-refuses-to-release-9-11-documents-to-families-of-the-victims
  11. One upshot of the prevalence of 9/11 conspiracy theories is that it has made the event impossible to discuss. The chair of the 9/11 commission admitted that the investigation was nerfed by lack of funds and official obstruction but if you dare state this fact you must be one of those "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" people.
  12. What do you take issue with exactly? If we already know everything that is worth knowing, then why are relatives of the victims currently trying to uncover information linking Saudi Arabia with 9/11 as part of their lawsuit?
  13. It sucks that there are so many insane conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 because it's beyond obvious that we are not in possession of all material facts of what happened. I don't know, maybe there are so many conspiracy theories because the 9/11 commission was such an utter farce. If anyone is interested in a real fact-based critique of the official account, I would recommend perusing the 9/11 consensus page (http://www.consensus911.org/), and particularly the "9/11 points" section which discusses areas where the official account deviates from the available evidence. For instance, the disparity between the skill of the supposed hijacker pilot of Flight 77 (Hani Hanjour) and the difficulty of piloting Flight 77 along the trajectory upon which it traveled is really interesting. http://www.consensus911.org/point-pent-3/
  14. The only reason you would adjust the grading of a particular play based on leverage (e.g., by throwing out garbage time plays entirely) when you are otherwise accounting for the context of the play (air yardage of a throw, ball placement, tightness of the window, decision making, etc.) would be because players can magically ratchet up/down their true talent level in accordance with the amount of leverage for a given play. This isn't true for football or for any other sport, and moreover makes no logical sense.
  15. Why should the grading be context dependent? The objective of grades isn't necessarily to say that one player was more valuable (in terms of win probability added) than another in a given game.
