  6. why is that a conspiracy? truthful things look truthful
  7. they fired all of their expensive talent and replaced them with drones they don't create shit - well, maybe 30 for 30 counts - and some of the football docs inre: content investment, they don't own the content, they just pay for it, and the day is coming when we will pay every league (rights aggregators) for their content for a day, week, month or season, delivered by starlink, kuiper, eutelsat/oneweb and 1 or 2 others resulting from the mergers of the legacy geostationary operators disney's career as a serial rapist has a limited lifespan but for now we suffer
  8. welcome to late stage capitalism and the great enshittification did it begin with the nixon nuke on bretton woods in '71? reaganomic deregulation? graham-leach-bliley in '99? citizens united in '10? the race to the bottom began round about when many of us on this board were born or growing up a very very small number of "big M&A" deals have been nixed in this century, notably comcast/timewarner and at&t/tmobile..... microsoft was NOT forced to break up, the original bell system breakup resulted in death stars, usair acquired aamerican regardless of the obama admin's attempts to stop it, google pays antitrust fines by handing over free data, XOM (exxon+mobil) required the 2 entities to 'divest' 2500 gas stations, but they just wrote new paper for the new storefronts (7eleven, tetco) and made MORE MONEY on the downstream without the retail overhead, the list goes on and on and on in this particular situation, google v. disney, the culprit was the telco act of '96 which allowed broadcasters to bypass their cable distribution agreements this was an almost 100% bipartisan catastrophe the results of which we feel today were never envisioned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996 our entire system of economic governance is corrupted by the captured reality of campaign finance and the "special interest" industry which made reversal or remediation impossible, and that was before the iphone, social, post-truth, alternative facts and the oligarchs came on the scene i was going to quit uverse and start fighting the streaming wars earlier this year i thank god every morning that i have nonshittified instant-on zero-fuckery linear tv that costs a fucking fortune except like last year when disney and att went to war
  9. there is enough money in college football to move 200 guys 1000 miles a week with a pre-negotiated contract with the big3 for first class airfare with 10 day advance notice so that no aggy, rape, tceh, thief or pig is never reffing a Texas game NFL referees have an average annual salary of around $205,000, but pay varies by experience, with new officials making between $100,000 and $150,000, and veteran officials earning closer to $250,000 or more. They receive a base salary plus performance bonuses and higher pay for playoff games, which can be in the range of $3,000–$5,000 per game, and the Super Bowl can pay an additional $40,000–$50,00 there are 17 crews of 7 each for a total of ~120 nfl refs in the pool - let's call it an average salary of $200k - that's $24m - that same spend can ensure every b1g and sec league game - and ooc between the b1g and sec - and the playoffs - is called by professionals who GO TO JAIL if they are caught in the cookie jar because if they spend that much money, the leagues will prosecute and won't just sweep fuckery under the rug - that level of spend will ensure there is always someone who wants your job and won't think twice about flagging that fucker kirby every other down for being 3 yards out on the field spend nothing, get nothing results
  10. had never heard his name before today i'm so checked out i could only name 3, maybe 4 players after dak thoughts and prayers i blame jerry jones may he die a natural painless death as soon as possible
  11. 9-3 Texas, 5th in the sec, is going to push out 10-2 domer that's a bridge too far regardless of sos or the location or the 'quality' of 1-score losses to top-5 teams
  12. not going to look it up, you can research and counter if you wish, but that caveat was meant/intended to account for a loss that had *already* *occurred* due to a key player being out injured it was never intended, and i do not think the language stated, that the caveat in question allowed the committee to discount a ranking based on losses that were *going* *to* occur as ctj posted, nolenation thinks of 2023 the way we think of teaff, 08 lubbock, 08 switzer, 15 oSu, etc.
  13. klatt graphic while touting our balls to schedule fosu
  14. lou police work disagree there with you at least until i see the klan are eliminated from atlanta kiffin had an argument last year and he will go postal if the klan gets "screwed" this year if we're 10-2 then absolutely we go over 10-2 klan because of scheduling fosu if we're 10-2 and they make atlanta and lose they go over us at 10-3
  15. utah are not getting in even if they win out they have 2 losses, and only total chaos puts them in the rig title game and requires their inclusion if they win there are 2 rigs already priced in - we only have upside if they eat each other this month i make it 50/50 only 1 makes it
  16. maybe, probably, but as i just posted, it's not going to be 3, and 2 are already priced in, so there is only upside for us in how it plays out crockett is wishcasting his own enemy in to a position of agency they do not have - utah are 5th in the rig this morning overall losses: brethren - 0 tceh - 1 cincy - 2 kitties - 2 ute - 2 conference losses: brethren - 0 tceh - 1 cincy - 1 kitties - 2 ute - 2 barring total chaos, cincy are the 3rd team with a say in the matter - they host the brethren on the 22nd could be problematic
  17. 2 rig teams are already priced in above the cut line and the math to get a 3rd doesn't compute if you beat tceh they have 2 losses - they would have to then somehow win the rig12 to get in - which would require you or uu to lose in the title game - which is not a problem for you - assuming you win out - but does prevent a 3rd rig team from making it - 1 rig with 1 loss and 2 rigs with 2 losses is fetch if you lose to tceh - and assuming you win out - you have to win the rig title game to get in - and that winner will have 2 losses - and you will have 2 losses - and the other team that didn't play will have 2 losses if you lose to tech and drop another you likely aren't in the title game and then sit in the 2-loss bucket....... could be problematic
  18. and yet this studio crew said they had the best metrics and should be #1 it almost felt like a troll
  19. what the fuck did rhoades just say when asked about metrics? zero context re: metrics in these answers
  20. 9. Texas: For three quarters, Texas played its best game of the season against a hot team (Vanderbilt). Then almost blew it. Not buying it just yet. Next: Bye. 12. Vanderbilt: The classic potential 10-win team that might be left out. The problem: all anyone will remember is the ugly loss to Texas β€” no matter what the final score says. Next: Auburn. vandy: fake final score, ugly loss = acknowledgement of beatdown then fuckery Texas: acknowledgement of beatdown then 'almost blew it' i'm trying to interpret this as something other than we're somehow responsible for the fuckery and yet he has us at 9, higher than any AP voter /confused
  21. don't wait for the tower or belmont to get involved cigars need to buy a billboard in birmingham visible from the conference offices:
