  1. Thanks, that certainly supports what my instinct was.
  2. That seems logical in some ways but I'm not sure that's how it plays out. A bye can't possibly be worse odds than a scrub. And there is zero injury risk. And your second round opponent isn't necessarily better than the #4 seed. You're playing the 8/9 winner. I think in the long run it will be about the same either way but if you win your conference then you're a conference champion. And contrary to what Mack Brown apparently convinced some people around here of, that does matter.
  3. A top team from those conferences that loses their title game will play the first round at home.
  4. Nothing wrong with byes and it was the best (only) way to make winning the conference championship game important. The conferences still make a lot of money on those so they don't want them to become irrelevant.
  5. The article isn't clear but the quote accurately states what the study found. That many schools had a significant percentage of respondents who called Texas "a rival" not necessarily their main rival. And that agrees with what we've all seen.
  6. Confused and senile or predictable? Your inability to choose one proves that you're either trolling, dumb, or both.
  7. Is this hypothetical I just came up with true? If it is then I'm so upset! Do you also get angry when you imagine that your husband is thinking of other women?
  8. The father issues in FoD aren't "heterosexual." Gay sons face the same issues (if they have a decent father so their sexuality isn't the dominant issue).
  9. Taylor Swift should publicly offer a $400 million loan.
  10. That logic means that it's pointless to discuss anything here. Which while quite possibly true may not be the marketing angle immamac is looking for.
  11. But poor judgment would be his best shot, so he definitely wouldn't fix that.
  12. That actually is exactly what it says. A similarly tortured reading as your Second Amendment interpretation if applied to the First Amendment would mean that the right to peaceably assemble is only protected if the group is petitioning the government.
  13. Insert it in my modem language translation and that has zero effect on the meaning. The controlling clause is the part where no law can be made. The preceding is simply a justification. It's the same as the below: Reproduction of the species being necessary to the continuation of society, the right to have sex shall not be infringed. That says no laws can be made infringing on our right to have sex. It does not say the sex has to be for the purpose of reproduction. The above amendment would also be a bad one needing to be repealed, by the way.
  14. But it's not the right thing to do. The language of the 2nd Amendment in no way limits protected firearm use to militias. It basically says in modern message board English "Because access to firearms is required to organize a militia and being able to organize a militia is so fucking important, you can't make any laws limiting access to firearms." Yes it's antiquated as hell and should be repealed, but that's what it says.
  15. Not any sillier than worrying about other people who make that choice. Not your choice? Cool.
  16. Oh I'm sure he's doing a fine job relatively speaking but at the same time it's basketball in the transfer portal era. It's a lot easier to have a first season turnaround in that sport right now than any other college sport ever. Obviously time will tell but I'd bet on him to have on-court success, of course.
  17. I'm not sure the Democrats can take much more bad news.
  18. I'm old and lazy, someone give me the brief update on this situation. All I see is Ole Miss losing every time I see a score against a good team and then I see they're #62 in KenPom. He just not get his guys yet or what? As of right now his team is shittier than ours.
  19. I mean I'm not sure I agree with his implication, but how is the fact that Mahomes was productive in his second season a counterargument to the idea that Reid developed him in his rookie season?
  20. What about if it's about how she doesn't look like she'll ever take me to dinner?
  21. That describes all of us, but we smart ones let OU fill that hate bucket all by themselves.
  22. So your theory is that Goredho was talking about you when he said "they" multiple times. Seems like the problem is you're too sensitive, you feel guilty that he was actually describing you, you can't read, or some combination of those.
  23. Who? Where? Quote posts. And I think the Kelce behavior was a bigger deal than jj does simply because he made hard physical contact with his coach. That's over the line. It's not like it only takes a light tap to knock Andy Reid over. He didn't brush up against a lightweight. I don't think it was horrific or anything but it was a bad look.
  24. There has been a triple overtime NFL playoff game before, guys. I hope I'm missing sarcasm here about the game possibly just ending still tied. Dammit my childhood memory failed me. The above is not accurate (well the part about it being silly to think it would just end in a tie was accurate).
