Way too much aggie-like "we have good losses" in here. We have 3 losses. I don't care who they are to. If we get in by a hair, great, i'll take our chances and hope. But if we get left out we have no one else to blame but ourselves.
And you can't just use head to head; otherwise Georgia can't be ahead of Bama who can't be ahead of OU who can't be ahead of Texas who can't be ahead of Georgia.
ND would run for 400 yards against us - if the metric is If these two teams played, who would likely win. I'll take ND.
I agree that "good losses" are an aggie thing, but a loss to OSU is different than a loss to Arizona St.

I mean why not just cancel the season and award it to the preseason #1 team?
Huh? I think you missed the point about the rankings being bullshit. In fact, there shouldn't even be a fucking preseason ranking. That's probably dumbest of all.

I just imagine David Attenborough narrating:
"In the first video, we see the model image of what corps members see as the ideal Aggie - the yell leaders. Voted on by the cadets, these individuals are the most bought-in to Aggie tradition."
"In the second video, we see the bizarre tradition of first year cadets, who they refer to as "fish," chasing down and capturing the yell leaders in a simulated gang rape ritual."
"In the third video we again see the yell leaders at what the Aggies call "Midnight Yell," where the students gather in the stadium at night to worship the yell leaders and practice their chants. In perhaps the most disconnected of all Aggie traditions is the yell leaders using strange body language and intonations while making "jokes" about the opposing team. In a show of solidarity and hero-worship, the students pretend to laugh."
"Finally, we see the essence of Aggie corps culture - the awkward language and actions of closeted and conservative homosexuals who, being insulated from outside opinions through their elevated status and praise of their fellow Aggies, have no idea how strange and ridiculous they actually are. It's a sad tale."-

The rankings are bullshit. Head-to-head wins don't matter. Strength of schedule doesn't matter. The metric should be - if these two teams played, who would likely win? We have losses to the No. 1 and 4 teams in the country. In a vacuum, that could mean that you are ranked as high as No. 5. But it almost never does. The loss to Florida fucked us in this current system. Losses to unranked teams count too much. Losses to higher ranked teams, especially in the Top 10, don't count as a positive factor at all. Use the head-to-head metric. Who would likely win if we played Tech, BYU, Miami? We'd win every one of those games. We've already beaten Vanderbilt (12) and OU (8). How the fuck are teams we beat "better" than us? Makes no fucking sense. I'd take our odds against anyone ranked outside of the top 4. Oregon lost to the only really good team they played. Penn St. was No. 3 at the time Oregon beat them, but that ranking has proven to be way fucked. Wins at Iowa at 20? USC at 15? Please. Our wins over OU and Vandy are both better than those. Ole Miss lost to Georgia by 8; we lost by 25. They have wins over LSU (then No. 4) and OU. I'd say they should be ranked ahead of us. Tech hasn't played a bluebood. Wins over No. 16 Utah and No. 7 BYU. And a loss to unranked Arizona St. No fucking way they should be ranked ahead of us. ND lost to Miami and A&M. They had no other games against really good teams. USC and Pitt are their best wins. Fucking please. I could go on and on.

Me: So what do we have going on this weekend?
Her: Well, today (Thursday) you pick up boys X, Y, Z from school and I'll come get them at your office at 4:30. You then have a Scouts meeting at 6:30. What time will you be home? I need you to be home by 6 so I can take boy X to baseball. Can you pick him up at 9? Friday, boy X is camping and doing the long hike for Philmont. You saw where they changed the venue to be able to get a longer hike, right? He's going with his friend and his dad and they are bringing him home on Saturday, thank God. They are so great for doing that. Saturday, let's see, I talked to boy X's coach and they might have some games. It's the last weekend of the season for actual games. They don't start up again until February. But I told him he can't do any games on Saturday until probably 3 or 4, so I'm waiting to hear back from the coach. Boy Z has basketball at 8 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. because the gym wasn't available at the school so they moved it to a park. So I'm going to take him instead of going to work out. Then I'm going to get a massage because a girl is doing them for only $40. So I'll bring Boy Z home from basketball. Then nothing until Boy X gets home and you have to take him to his baseball game because I'm going to assist with that training when Chica comes to town and she'll be here this weekend and I will make $50 an hour. Is there a game on this weekend? Do you know what time it is? Do you want me to Google it?
Me: It's at 2:30. But I don't care about it.Her: Okay, great.
Me: And Sunday?
Her: (Honestly, at this point all I heard was Charlie Brown adult voice, "Wah, wah, wahwahwah.")

Fun piece from Wittes/Lawfare on this.
Oh.
ETA: Also like Wittes' conclusion here.
All of this evil incompetence would be comical, except for the real world effects—incompetent evil being funny only in the movies.
Because what is the point of all this abuse and rake-stomping? It is all intended to deploy the legal system to establish a falsehood, which is that James Comey lied to Congress eight years ago and then doubled down on that lie, and thus obstructed a congressional investigation, five years ago.
And why is it important for the United States federal government to establish this lie as official truth? Because if Comey is not a liar, then a lot of things are true that aren’t allowed to be true—like, for example, that Donald Trump had, and may still have, an untoward relationship with Russia and its president that warranted serious investigation in 2017 and still warrants scrutiny today, that the Russia investigation and its progeny were not a witch hunt, that Trump has tried to rig the justice system from the earliest days of his presidency, and that an entire political movement has eagerly lied to itself, and to the public, to deny these reality. And that it has been doing so—however incompetently and malevolently—for eight years and counting.
Just like Lindsey Halligan.
You know, I don't know whether to be encouraged or discouraged. It is encouraging that Trump (Stephen Miller) is slowly failing at just about everything he is trying to do. The foundation of American democracy is holding. That should be encouraging. Except, a plurality of American voters wanted this and they want Trump (Stephen Miller) to succeed. That is discouraging.
I had another thought - American democracy has to expose itself to risk in order to maintain itself. It's like the tradeoff between security and freedom. How do we put restrictions on the president so that this kind of shit doesn't happen, while still allowing him or her to act as necessary for the benefit of the country? There are benefits to a strong executive when they are a good faith actor. Not so much when you have a bad faith actor who is literally constrained by nothing.

Why do they allow questions at these things at all? Why not just do the photo op and move on? Maybe because nothing matters? I don't know.

LOL, this. Don't these dumb motherfuckers know you should wait until the end of the season? If he gets in the playoffs, wins a couple of rounds or whatever, then pay him. Until then, he ain't done shit. And you are rewarding "ain't done shit" again. The A&M AD is the ultimate fail upward job.

I didn’t mean throw coffee on someone specifically. I meant flip out, etc. Which is why I said something like that.
I said she was wrong, and she was.
But the difference is beat described by Sheriff Buford T Justice: “You can think about it… but don’t do it.”
When I was a poor student I had a Wells Fargo bank account and I overdrew it on occasion. I learned that what WF did is they would put through bigger checks first so that every subsequent transaction would rack up additional $35 fees. I thought that was fucked up and evil and I was in the office of one of their assistant branch managers to tell him so and he had a heavy brass business card holder that I was very, very tempted to throw at his smug ass face.

Unlike Debbie Downer Futureman, I thought this was hilarious. The surprised look on the guy's face and body language like, "Was that wrong? Is that kind of thing frowned upon here?" The sales guy, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Then the other customer saying, "Boollsheeit" when they explain he's training to be a cop.

Window Salesmen: Renewal by Andersen quotes a quarter of the value of your house for window replacement (I think we got quoted 3700 / window) and their sales tactics are more aggressive than a used car salesman. What they do is not terribly difficult, but most of the big box stores won't sell drop-in replacement windows for standard sizes, so even Lowes / Home Depot get you by the short and curlies trying to force custom orders and install fees.
HVAC techs. Granted, when you're paying $400 for a capacitor replacement, you're paying $20 for the part, $100 for the diag and labor, and $280 for not having to drive to the HVAC supplier and waste half a day to get said part and do it yourself. My number 1 complaint about HVAC is the suppliers seem to be open from 10a to 3pm M-F, and you usually find out your crap's broken on a Friday afternoon at 4pm. Either pay the tech fees to get it fixed in a few hours, or sweat out the weekend and hope you can get to the parts depot first thing Monday.
Plumbing, well, you pay the premium for the tools, experience, and most importantly WARRANTY. The barrier to entry to do PEX is a big enough step to keep most plumbers in business.As a former replacement window salesman, I can tell you that you don't know what you are talking about and you are doing it wrong. Andersen is one of the highest priced windows you can buy. Wood windows, generally, are the highest priced windows compared to the other materials available - vinyl and aluminum. When it comes to sizing, there really is no such thing as "standard." Sure, a 3050 single hung window measures 36"X60" most of the time, but it's not the frame size you have to worry about - it's the opening size. That is affected by the type of siding you have - wood, Hardie, brick, stone, stucco, etc. I would recommend some good quality lower-end vinyl windows.

She's playing her cards.
You are the leader of the Venezuelan opposition. You don't have the resources to depose Maduro.
There is mercurial, childish man with a fragile ego to your north who has AMPLE resources to assist your cause. And he fucking LOVES him some flattery. Shit, talk about how his brilliant handling of Venezuela thus far is surely a sign that he is a capable and impressive lover, whatever it takes. Play the cards you've got, and "play to Trump's ego" is a big fat Ace.
Yeah, at least she's sucking him off for a righteous purpose, which is more than I can say for his cabinet and enablers.

You are the Nazi because you dared to look and see what kind of nazi shit may or may not be happening instead of burning down your house and shooting at them through the window.

I forgot where I was, momentarily. This is no place for civil discourse. To be clear, though, I'm not downplaying anything and I'm not a moron. I'm legitimately asking how bad is this, really, because I'm struggling to grasp the severity of what is happening. I know it looks and seems very, very bad. It may, in fact, be very, very bad. If so and I'm ignoring something, then list it out. It's possible this is all just reality TV of a fake fascist takeover with the sole purpose of enriching and giving power and position to those who will stoop low enough to play along. I think almost all of this is leadup and, as someone upthread said, a test to see just how far they can go. Oct. 18th may be the day when shit pops off. I'll be closely watching.

The TNG is already embedded with ICE. They announced that today. If they hit more resistance, they will invoke the Insurrection Act.
Who will they arrest? You seriously think they have nobody to target? Protestors. That's why they are ramping up the pressure. Did you see the march through downtown Chicago last night? That's the type of people who will be targeted. Along with people who help organize it. They arrested a sitting US Congressman on fake charges already and today indicted the AG of the state of NY. They'll go after people who donated money to candidates or causes. More politicians. will be targeted. Advisers to politicians. Journalists.
They flat-out murdered people on at least 3 boats. All they've alleged (and have offered zero proof) is they were drug running. Even if you take them at their word, drug running is not an offense for which you're legally allowed to kill a person. Now consider they're thousands of miles from the US. They have no fucking idea who or what are on those boats. However, if the wanted to know, the US military has many times before interdicted a suuspect boat and arrested or checked out what's going on. That's the legal way. Just murdering people is flatly illegal. Again, they are blatantly violating the law now on "easy cases" and building their way up to even more violations.
You can think they're failing because you look out your window and don't see war. That doesn't mean it's not happening. Downplaying what's going on is horrible. Oh they only shot a pastor in the head with mustard gas pellet 7 tiimes. For no reason. WTAF. Mustard gas isn't a chemical munition? In fact it's internationally regulated as a chemical warfare agent.
To claim what they're doing is backfiring requires wearing the rosiest of glasses. They've met some resistance in the courts but that's the only thing so far that's kept us from falling fully under an autocratic regime. You haven't even seen the criminal undertakings they have planned for the elections. Barring a miracle, the USSC will not stop any of this. They have yet to lift a finger, they continue to rubber stamp Trump's crimes and they've given every indication they intend to continue to do so.
/rant over
I hadn't seen the news about the TNG getting there today.
I know it's protestors and that's what I said. I see what they are trying to do. The people they have arrested or indicted will be exonerated. Do you know of anyone who they have targeted who has actually received a prison sentence?
Totally agree on the Venezuelans. It was dumb and weak to say "Someone should look into it." I don't know what jurisdiction that falls under? International Criminal Court? Military investigation? Whatever can be done, should be done.I agree that if I was in LA, Portland, DC or Chicago right now seeing armed troops on the streets I might feel differently. Just giving my own perspective. Am I the frog in the boiling pot? Entirely possible. I have certain markers that I'm watching. If those things come to pass I will actively support and join the resistance. I have a family and shit to lose. I want to be damned sure what I think is happening is actually happening before I make myself a target and put my family at risk.
Disagree about the courts. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about what the rulings actually say and mean. I do think SCOTUS is trying to stay out of real difficult, important and dangerous decisions as long as they possibly can, which is wrong in it's own right. I'm waiting until that moment comes.-

What the fuck are you talking about? Texas National Guard troops are there right now.
That's probably still the case today. There's no guarantee it'll still be the case six months from now.
It's four to six boats now. Yeah, this is the kind of thing that got us into WW1, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. It's just a fun little performance for TV, it's not like they're killing anyone who matters, right? Fucking lol at "someone should look into it."
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. You have not one fucking clue how many citizens have been illegally arrested by ICE. You have no fucking idea how many people have been shot with various munitions by federal agents.
How much longer are you going to downplay the severity of the harm he's doing and the danger he poses? You've been doing it since he was elected. What's it going to take to make you think "actually maybe I won't post like Neidermeyer"?
You are a deranged asshole. I don't know what your problem is, but you can take your lunatic rants and shove them up your ass.

Same. I'm part of two different Scout groups - one Boy Scout and one Cub Scout. I'm a den leader for the pack and on the parent committee for the troop. I've been on many campouts and other events and I can happily say that politics never came up. I have occasional thoughts about where certain people stand politically, but it's not germane to what we're doing. Both groups have a lot of really high-quality people running them, so we've been lucky, I guess.
