  1. I take a perverse joy out of them never playing Georgia, so I will be happy with an 0-1 effort. I mean, we've played Georgia 3 times in the past two years, and admittedly shit the bed on balance, but their avoidance is astonishing. Let's keep it rolling as long as it doesn't make a difference.
  2. How would you rate the 'bama loss to FSU this year?
  3. Hey, at least the stars have 5 points.
  4. Why did Marge wear a sweater on 60 Minutes tonight that featured an American flag which only had 25 stars?

    Tex Mex

    In a city with few great pizza options, Home Slice is near the top. Back to TexMex.
  6. Ben Johnson is mildly regarded. Holy shit what a stupid call.
  7. Playing in a bowl game allows more practice. It's not nothing.
  8. I think that's Brisket with a hit and run hangover.
  9. Sweet Premiers! Gotta love a good Brit brand.
  10. Who exactly is going to abolish the EU?
  11. I'd take Marcel Reed over Carson Beck any time.
  12. This bickering about which loss kept us out is silly. Let's imagine a collection of road games against top 5 teams VS a collection of road games against teams barely in the top 40. Which opponents are more likely in the long run to saddle us with losses (which are apparently the #1 criteria of the committee)?
  13. Well, there is a non-zero chance tOSU or Michigan pulls the plug on playing us in Austin. I wouldn't be upset if they did. They'd have to pay us.
  14. He also called anyone who thought 10-2 Miami would get in over 9-3 Texas "mongoloids". The criteria are fuzzy, and so the results can seem absurd. Until the CFP committee locks down the criteria (which would likely mean they render themselves irrelevant) there are always going to be head-scratcher results. Ultimately, I'm not all that upset, because this team just isn't great. It's very good, but I don't think a run to the finals would be in the cards. I would have liked to have had the chance, though.
  15. I have been following college sports for decades, and fans consistently posit that expansion of the field will solve these who gets in, who gets left out arguments. Whether it's March Madness, the CFP playoffs, or whatever, it never does. It just shifts the argument to slightly less capable teams. The selection crtiteria are the problem, not the number of teams.
  16. Ohio State was #6 in the final CFP rankings just last year.
  17. Well, we used to get called "soft" by the media and other fanbases, but at some point in the 90s we started scheduling really salty nonconference games, and it helped dispel that perception. Now that it's clear those games do not help should a team lose, fuck it. Cancel them all.
  18. I wouldn't have a big problem with our final slot had the CFP committee stuck to their stated ranking criteria. They didn't.
  19. That's too simplistic. If we're going to be penalized for losing at Florida, then Alabama should be equally punished for losing at FSU. Quality of wins and losses should matter, too, and that goes in our favor against most if not all of these CFP contenders.
  20. Not familiar with Octopus Project. Links to listen to?
  21. We can't get Florida off the schedule, but A&M can clearly get UGA off the schedule? OK. SEC pundits are like SEC fans -- average IQ of 85.
  22. A couple of friends went to the Austin show last night, and they raved about it. Enjoy.
  23. I can't stomach being slotted below BYU. That just doesn't make sense. They have no wins of note. We have 3. Alabama is a tougher call, because they did beat UGA once. But, they lost to OU at home and we beat the snot out of OU at a neutral site. And, their game against UGA was less competitive by a good margin than ours was. We will get fucked because we played and lost to tOSU in Columbus, book it. So much for what the committee says.
