    I don’t think the available facts make it unreasonable to assign blame. Both have culpability, but how obtuse does one become arguing about the decimal points in this situation?

    I know for a fact you're not new to Surly. 

    Thus, this question is really stupid because this place lives nearly exclusively on the decimal point argument.

    Why would I confuse a very reliable veteran player in Moore for a for a mid-level newcomer in Mosley?

    If Arch was better to start the year and Moore was healthy his numbers would be fantastic.

    From mistaking one WR for another, very poorly interpreting who's play was best to blaming Arch for the failures of a WR, you've gone full circle on the idoit logic train in a single post. Fantastic work!

    Someone saying incredibly, objectively incorrect things in a very confident manner will always be hilarious. It's basically Ron Burgandy.

    Ahhh DeAndre Moore, the Longhorns finest receiver!

  4. Sometimes you open a thread with very low entertainment expectations and anticipate a lot of shit posting.

    I will always appreciate when that exact thing happens, but its SO bad it makes me laugh. So here's to you Mr. NocluewtfImtalkingabout, aka @lazygringo, thanks and keep on keeping on.

    You can't have a Cinderella when the field is 4 teams big.  It's only been a 12 team playoff once so far and even that year, there was a clear top 4 or 5. This year might be different, the top 10 feel a lot closer to together.

    I won't repost stats I already have too many times, but the net is they really point out 4 excellent teams, then everyone else. The also rans tend to have a pretty big issue on D or offense and most of them are defensive issues. Then are a few that have inconsistent QB. Miami and Aggie have QB and D issues. 

    However, there even the 4 "excellent" teams outside of Indiana have show some weaknesses (Georgia for example). So I get where your take comes from but I see it less as top 10 parity and more and lack of domination or schedule weaknesses by the "excellent" 4 which can create a false perception of broader parity.

    Clemson was the 12 seed last year.

    Someone will lose 2 early, get hot make the playoffs and win it.  

    Ever is a long time.  Generally I agree its an astronomical long shot, but ever doesn't hold up.  No 16 ever beat a 1, until they did.

    Sigh.. fine, but I've a very high level of confidence this ain't that year.

    I agree that there is a greater matrix of variables involved in football success versus basketball.  

     

    My point is year 1 of the 12 team playoff was won by an 8 seed.   Its inevitable that a 12 will win it.  

    If the G5 remain in and take the 12 seed, they will never win it. Ever. 

    No G5 is winning the CFP. In fact, no only will the 2 G5 in this year lose badly in the first round, the TV numbers are going to be massive losers too. 

    That OSU was seeded 8 last year is a much bigger slam on the stupid committee process than it is a support of Cinderella stories in college football.

    The whole Pavia love affair was only because none of the people who adored him had lived around or met trashy New Mexicans.   
     

    However, his behavior is why I love trashy New Mexicans.  

    I've said it before but native New Mexicans are a uniquely peculiar kind of crazy. I had one family member by "marriage" that was bat shit and have know a few in my life. 

    Think of that one odd ball in some group your in that everyone just shakes their head at, or the distant family member which causes everyone eye brows to raise when they hear they're comming to an event. 

    That's pretty much the entire state, particularly the poorer part.

    It's been reported that she only went to the University because Moore wouldnt stop calling and texting her after she dumped him.  We know exactly why she turned whistleblower.

    We know what was reported, we know the end effect. Point of fact, we do not know why she turned whistle blower. We can logically speculate, but not know. Something went really sideways, but the timing, escalation and what's being said now is A story, we may or may not know THE story.

    I'm a Hilton guy too but was too lazy to actually call them and inquire about this, so thanks for that. (In Knoxville I prefer the Cumberland House or the Graduate).  Got a VBRO booked just in case (but it is not as close to downtown as I prefer). 

    Damn you!!! Revealing all my secret locations. But yeah Cumberland House is my go to, but parking is goofy.

    The Marriott hotels downtown were all showing as sold out for all fall weekends before the schedule reveal. I don't think they have opened up yet.

    This, for Hilton, I called because my preferred place wasn't available and I wanted to see if there was a wait list. Booking for Hilton's downtown opens 6 months prior. So if Marriott is the same it will be week of April 13th. You're welcome.

    Nah, that post was 100% the type of shit that Gabe would have said. Although he would have quoted Donne correctly. 

    Do people unironically like Big Red? Really? That's a children's drink. 

    Has nothing to do with being woke. Prosecutors from Texas to Maine prosecute for everything imaginable and then plea down to what's reasonable. Has nothing to do with race, politics, whatever. 

    See, now this is a lawyerly answer. 

    Apparently. Who knew?!?
