  1. Yeah she's obviously not going to do it, but the only thing I can imagine being as dumb as spending all two billion dollars one has earned is dying with all two billion dollars one has earned.
  2. Okay so that's the first "worst throw of the season" I've seen this year. Good to get that out of the way.
  3. Dammit my bad. I thought 11th but I guess I added a bonus year of suffering.
  4. Quinn Ewers accomplished more than Rick Barnes at the University of Texas by leading his team to two Final Four finishes.
  5. Holy shit I bet you actually think this is true.
  6. Chris Simms was better at playing QB than guys like Laguna are at literally anything.
  7. They are by definition the same thing in one direction (it's possible to be NFL caliber but not in the NFL; the reverse is not). The problem is people saying "NFL caliber" when they mean "quality NFL caliber" instead.
  8. It is one of the hardest things to fix, though, if it doesn't click quickly. Mental processing speed is absolutely the main reason that NFL QB draft picks flame out so frequently. Some guys can see shit before it even happens (think TJ Ford on a basketball court) and some guys can't see it until a second after it's already happened. It's another ability but is the hardest to identify and test.
  9. No, people have pointed out his problem repeatedly but you refuse to hear it. He holds the ball way too long and always has. That's how you can be a QB who causes his team to lose games while completing 70% of your passes. Allow me to rephrase that. That's how Sanders IS a QB who causes his team to lose games while still completing 70& of his passes.
  10. That's correct, last time the US didn't win was when Lufkin got beat by Japan.
  11. Texas 30 Ohio St. 20 Manning - 288 total yards
  12. Kansas, Northwestern, Rutgers, Cal, and Stanford's phones have been ringing off the hook with calls from the 979 area code.
  13. They make fantastic sense if you care about a championship game making sense and what made college football great (familiarity-based rivalries). Wildly divergent schedules from freeform conference scheduling is completely nonsensical from a competition perspective. Divisional setups ensure that each representative navigated a very similar schedule compared to the half of the conference they are representing.
  14. I can't believe I solved this over 4 years ago. But I did.
  15. That's not actually that bad although I assume they have a much higher participation percentage than highly populated metro areas in the contiguous 48 just because travel is obviously not as big of a thing. My local league has a similar total population in our boundaries but probably a fraction of baseball players participating in LL compared to Hawaii.
  16. Ah yeah that makes sense. Also, crazy that Hawaii goes home being shut out twice. The Helo Curse is powerful. Florida and Hawaii went I think 2-3 after he said nobody was stopping them.
  17. I didn't see it but in LL the fingers on the bat are still a HBP.
  18. Huge losers bracket game at 2pm between South Carolina and Hawaii. Have to give the nod to Hawaii of course but SC is capable of winning it all if they play well and get some breaks. Losing to Nevada with Giuletti on the hill may have finished them off though. We will see today.
  19. Didn't they partner with TexAgs before that? Hard to nosedive from rock bottom.
  20. It really is incredible, but I will say that I wouldn't bet against Hawaii winning it from the losers bracket. They have the pitching depth to do it.
  21. Texas rosters under Charlie Strong were average in most places. Nothing about Texas's roster last year was average except punter and placekicker when the kick mattered. But I'm done with the conversation, we're at the point in a program upswing when fans completely forget what average looks like.
  22. So the problem is that you don't know what average means. You're saying now that when you say we were average at a position you mean average for the top 8 programs in the country? What use is that description?
