  1. As a late arrival with a kid at Oregon I’m feeling very nostalgic. Even before he attended, I always loved Pac 10/12 after dark: fucking wildest ride in cfb. Im glad Shoe Daddy got us a landing spot, but it’s not the same when your games are in *checks notes* Lafayette as opposed to ogling co-eds in Tempe after the weather turns in Late October.
  2. Fuck Dan Lanning and his “we’re too smart to do the smart thing” Tom Herman bit.
  3. Oregon looks like complete dogshit. Maybe they are puffed up bullshit.
  4. I always feel like Newsom is one insult away from pulling out his dong and doing the LBJ “because of this “ bit
  5. I don't feel tardy. Greatest ad-lib throwaway line in Rock n Roll history.
  6. Did she dress up like a nurse and do junk checks? Asking for me.
  7. I was wondering when the BJP stans would show up.
  8. I won’t speak ill of the dead. As someone who has visited and loved Cambodia, I will let Bourdain do it:
  9. Here's a couple of shots I took from about a decade ago. Me standing on the x in one, some rando on the other (which really gives it scale).
  10. The I am Legend travesty will always send me into aphorisms of rage. The book is literally the script to the movie, it needs minimal edits and can pretty much be shot as is. How Hollywood has managed to mangle it 3 fucking times just blows my mind.
  11. Oregon State had them on the ropes and for some unfathomable reason put it in Uiagaleli's hands right at the end when all they needed was a field goal.
  12. I'm sorry, did somebody say Aubrey Plaza?
  13. Fuck I miss shopping the Westlake HEB as a fresh divorcee in the spring after church. Sundresses for miles.
  14. Agreed about Alabama, that SECSECSEC bias is real and bullshit. Washington and FSU are still undefeated. They get the benefit of the doubt at this stage in the season. And Washington has a ton of underwhelming wins. To your larger point: prolly time for me to step back on this thing.
  15. Texas, for better or worse, has lots of games where they’ve let opponents stay within a score or two most of the game. Ultimately, a W is a W. But when you are surfing channels on a Saturday, Texas, post Alabama, is the top ten team most likely to be in a dog fight when other big top ten names are sitting 4 TD leads middle 3rd quarter. And a lot of voters, for better or worse, take an impression off that. When it took tOSU 4 quarters to get a handle on Maryland, people noticed. Texas has multiple games like that.
  16. They also see middling Texas victories against KSU, ISU, TCU, and Houston where the Longhorns allowed overmatched opponents to stubbornly hang around. The committee isn’t going to consider injuries. And yes that’s exactly bullshit beauty contest stuff. I don’t disagree with any of your metrics, but I’m just saying that there is a very strong chance that if UO beats Washington bad on Friday, they won’t care and the Ducks will make the playoffs. Particularly if Texas doesn’t blow the doors off the pokes. And several of us on this thread are trying to prepare the fan base for that. But I’ve already been told to stfu. So here we are.
  17. I suppose it’s more about the nostalgia of games That Matter on January 1 and the wildness of that day instead of a mid January Monday night. Point Taken.
  18. In a sense, we are still, to some degree, at the whims of a beauty contest. I totally agree we need to expand the playoffs, but short of giving the P5 conference champs auto bids and then some sort of ranked wild card system (which still creates a beauty contest issue), I don’t know how you don’t end up with somebody complaining that “We did x, y, and z, and it’s total bullshit that this other team is in and we aren’t”
  19. While I don’t disagree with the gist of this post, I’m not sure hanging your hat on underwhelming victories over *checks notes* Penn State and Notre Dame is where I’d build the foundation for my thesis.
  20. SECSECSEC and all that puke. I do think Texas might be the most dangerous team in a playoff with that defense. And that is probably the best argument for Texas jumping any and all 1 loss teams, including Oregon. I just don’t think the Committee goes to that level of 3D chess.
  21. I understand why you negged me. You want go full Aggie, that’s a choice. Squeeze those nuts, Sallie.
  22. To a degree, the PAC 12 championship game sorta doesn’t apply to Texas. If the Huskies win, they are in the playoffs. If Oregon wins, they are probably in (barring an uninspiring performance and a monster Texas win).
  23. Throwing positive rep to you for being a dim, but loving fan of your team. Rage all you want, I didn’t design the system. I’d have left it the way it was 25 years ago and just let the writers pick after all the dust of the New Years Bowl’s settled.
