  1. I've been curious how a top 50 prospect can't get run on this team, but whatever. Vok is the best I've ever seen at getting his arm pulled by the opponent. It's like an art. There was a stretch in the second half where I think he got his arm pulled 5 times in 2 minutes. We hit more free throws and this is a 30 point game.
  2. That last meaningless pass to Pittman before the last interception won me my fantasy semi in one league. In the other I benched Stephon Diggs and Jeanty for Egbuka and Trayveon Henderson. Lost by 50. Would have won. This game is dumb.
  3. I was watching Home Alone 2 yesterday with my 8 year old and was thinking Kevin could be charged with attempted murder. So that skit hit close to home.
  4. TIL you can foul someone with your shin.
  5. It really sucks that Cooper Flagg is on the Mavericks. He is so good.
  6. Someone embed the link with the Lollipop Guild song to the Pavia brothers walk down the hall.
  7. Because they boat raced a team we lost to? It’s all in circles and we know what the rules are now, so cancel Notre dame and schedule Indiana or Virginia
  8. He might be . . . Next year. I’m not kidding.
  9. Seems like L is clearly group of death but perhaps Ghana isn’t any good anymore. If Panama gets the right ref (not a UEFA ref) they can beat all three of those teams by CONCACAFing it up. Hopefully Turkey isn’t the team coming out of the playoff.
  10. I would have done something like that last summer. Not now. They can get Tari with him agreeing to a deal with them, Capela, Van Vleet and picks including the Phoenix pick and we’ll take Kouzma if they require it, or they can pound sand. They’ll then tell us to do the same, and that’s ok. And after yesterday any team looking at him better get every image available of that calf and Achilles
  11. So if ND were called UCONN (the other independent) but with exact same results against exact same teams. they are ranked behind Vandy by the committee, right? Not an argument to get us in. An argument against ND.
  12. First Rockets game in 20 years tonight. Sat behind Kings bench. Schroeder is a funny dude. He looks 16 up close. Kings back row coaches were cool and were making fun of Raynaud because even though he has a career night on offense, Adams and Sengun just cooked him on the other end. They like that dude though. Russ seems like a good teammate all things considered - was helping Nique and Raynaud all night. Keegan Murray is a robot. No emotion. Doug McDermott and Saric are living the life. They knew they weren’t playing tonight and just had a good time dapping teammates and watching the baby races and other time out shows. I need that gig.
  13. Cancel ND and call Indiana. 3 years from now they are crashing back to earth one way or another. And it looks great now and screws ND. When/If they refuse, put out a press release. I half kid.
  14. I enjoy the cautious optimism but I’ve accepted we are cooked. Hope I am wrong. The committee has completely changed things up this week in the past to get their desired outcome after CCG weekend though so who knows? Setting us aside, if Bama and BYU win which of OU, ND and Tech are left out?
  15. So apparently the Broadway play is canon and the nerds that saw that know everything that is happening? I dunno, I had fun and feel that Will may break bad, which I am down for.
  16. So that was a penalty, right? I have no dog in this fight but that was helmet to helmet.

    “Why don’t you ever take me home?” ”To Big Spring? What, to tour the fuckin’ prison?” I chortled.
  18. OSU, Indiana, Georgia, Oregon, Aggie, Tech, Ole Miss, OU, Bama, Notre Dame. That’s 10 teams we won’t be ahead of this week, all of which are locks (unless Georgia crushes Bama by more than 35-10) or have a specific replacement (BYU for Tech). That’s presumes we jump Miami (who should jump Notre Dame, but won’t), Utah, Vandy (who just crushed Tennessee), and BYU. So, again, 11 is best case this week and next without some epiphany/shenanigans and if we are 11, the ACC and Group of 5 knock us out. I enjoy running scenarios and trying to make the argument for us on a Sunday morning before the NFL starts. But I also have accepted our Citrus Bowl fate.
  19. The power 4 can help this by requiring 1 game against other power 4 conferences to be playoff eligible starting in 2027 or something like that. It doesn’t solve it, but imagine scheduling Indiana 5 years ago when they were shit and catching them now (or getting lucky and catching Clemson this year). I get the Go5 and FCS teams that are getting games cancelled will raise hell but we are <10 years from seeing the Big 4 fully break off anyway so all OOC are against the Big 4. There is a lot of grumbling about a shakeup in rankings this week that will help us. It’s fools gold because I do not see how we are better than 11th still in a best case scenario, which means we aren’t in.
  20. All this is to say, Go Duke! I hope they beat Virginia then catch Aggie in the first round in the 11-6 so I can go to Kyle Field and watch Mensah work those d-bags.
  21. We are being punished for 3 losses, not who they were to. If we beat Florida and lose to OU we are still on outside looking in. If we beat Ohio State and lose to OU we are on outside looking in. If we beat Georgia and lose to Mississippi State we are on outside looking in. As someone upthread suggested, this is locked. And a two loss BigXII CCG loser isn’t supplanting any of the other 12 unless it’s close and Georgia destroys Alabama. 3 B1G, 5 SEC, ACC, Big XII, Go5, ND = 12.
  22. So if Va Tech or Cal can get the upset Duke is in the ACCCG with 5 losses. Let chaos reign.
  23. Aggie is going to be #6 (I presume they drop behind Oregon, Georgia and Ole Miss). Which means if we slip in and are ahead of the Group of Five team…... at #11.
  24. Van Buren is . . . Not good. In any event my guess is the committee is putting both Big XII teams in if last year in the ACC is any indication. I also think Vandy will be ahead of us for same reason OU is which is dumb because we lose out for our Ohio St game. But number of losses have always been the core stat in college football for better or worse. I am sanguine about it at this point. If the committee comes to its senses we are ahead of OU and Vandy. It won’t.
