  1. Hegseth Says He Didn’t See Strike on Alleged Drug Boat That Killed Survivors EDIT: I guess a link might’ve been helpful https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/hegseth-says-he-didnt-see-strike-on-alleged-drug-boat-that-killed-survivors-d0f5b0e3?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqcuoqwHBUmcjy3Q8lViemLxoOaii7Cj0FjyfhkSHRfjIqbBSEan8KHnHge8N1I%3D&gaa_ts=692f5b0a&gaa_sig=-gXoeWylsVGKaxoHEVCe4fP1qAB5Y1h66lsVo3t5ZG64hsPVbDoWnDhbO9x3cNVNlnK8bVEE03gMxMqJ2_NdOQ%3D%3D

  3. It's not entirely incorrect is it?
  4. I get it but I don't want Texas cancelling the return Michigan or Ohio State games. First off, it looks bad. Second, we're owed those games for going there. But I would 100% start cancelling any that are further down the line. Replace them with easily-winnable games. The statements kind of contradict each other. Yeah, you won enough to keep Venables around a little longer. You know the coach who hasn't been able to score a TD in Dallas in three of the last four meetings?
  5. Well, to be fair you have four teams from every Texas HS district get in the playoffs. That kind of eliminates any chance of error. We're trying to seed a 12-team tournament from 125+ teams. There are 247 Class 6A high schools in Texas right now -- 128 of those make the playoffs, I think. This is sarcasm, right? Agreed. I hated seeing FSU get left out due to the QB getting hurt. They were 13-0 after all. I would've had no big issue with them getting in as long as it was FSU vs Bama for the fourth spot and not FSU vs Texas as we feared. Fortunately, the H2H with Bama appears to have been a factor but Travis getting hurt might've just given the committee the out it was looking for. It would've been criminal for Bama to be in the Final 4 and not Texas. The issue was that FSU getting in effectively gave somebody a huge advantage in the semifinal, if not a full-on "bye" to reach the championship game. Also, if Ole Miss doesn't make it because Kiffin left that would be a goddamn travesty. In reality, Ole Miss's resume isn't that great. The one win of note is beating OU in Norman. The Rebels have played two games against teams in the current Top 25.
  6. Hmm ...
  7. I have no doubt that there are people who think Driscoll would be miles better at SecDef, err SecWar, and might be doing some things to persuade Trump to cut Whiskey Pete loose. It could be as simple as a whole lot of people are appalled at Hegseth and want him gone. Trump is easily influenced after all. This isn't some Deep State conspiracy.
  8. I have no problem with Texas (and others) listing rankings at the time of the game in historical records (media guides, etc). However, when you're trying to figure out the best 12 teams to put in the college football playoffs, you *have* to look at the rankings as they currently are. That is 100% the better way to overall evaluate what team has done the most and has the best resume.
  9. Jigsaw has a theory:
  10. I doubt it was dotard doing all the posting. I'd put money on this guy being behind it:
  11. Wife and I just finished this tonight. Had no idea that was Fern until I perusing IMDb tonight. She was terrific. Loved the show. Hawke was great. It really picked up the second half of the series. I’m not sure it was as strong as Rez Dogs but I enjoyed it just the same.
  12. I’m Team Silver Jews
  13. “Every group needs a fall guy.” — Cris Carter Trump’s ‘fall guy’ is looking for his ‘fall guy.’
  14. WGAF if he's fired in three years. I'm sure he doesn't. They'll owe him the rest of the $100M and he likely isn't unemployed very long. He's got a much greater chance of winning a title at LSU than he did at Ole Miss.
  15. What part was wrong? If any of BYU, Virginia, James Madison, North Texas or Tulane lose there's no chance any of them get into the 12-team playoff. That's what I was saying. I understand things start to get messy if Duke and BYU win, etc. I don't think any result in the B10 or SEC Championship Games will knock any of those four out of the final 12-team field. It will have an effect where they're all seeded.
  16. Well, can you point to aggy or Ole Miss or Oklahoma playing additional games against top 5 or top 10 games this weekend? The CCG is do-or-die for Virginia and BYU for sure this weekend. Should Tech get a pass if it doesn't beat BYU this weekend? I'm not certain of that but I'd be shocked if they're not firmly in no matter what happens this weekend. It's also do-or-die for North Texas, Tulane and James Madison this weekend. (It also might not matter for North Texas/Tulane if James Madison wins.) It's not do-or-die for Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia or Alabama due to the strength of their conferences.
  17. You got me there. It's not in the official CFP rules. But I can tell you the runner-up from the undisputed strongest conference in the nation isn't getting left out of the 12-team playoff in place of teams behind them because they lost the extra game. And Bama has already beaten the Dawgs once. I don't disagree. The Big 10 is even worse. Of their top four teams -- Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon and Michigan -- there were exactly two games played between those four schools. Michigan/Ohio State and Indiana/Oregon. That's it.
  18. This is the same school that employed -- and celebrated -- Les Miles and Ed Orgeron.
  19. We won't have the same record. We'll have the same amount of losses but one fewer win -- and they will have played an extra game against the #3 team in the nation. Again, aggy should be sweating this far more than they are. Hell, so should Ole Miss. They beat OU by less than we did (albeit in Norman) and have only played two teams that are in the current rankings all year.
  20. aggy should be sweating this more than Bama but they're not. aggy's SEC opponents were a combined 18-43 in the SEC this season.
  21. The problem with this is that Bama isn't considered a "bubble team" at this point. The SEC is the strongest conference in the nation this season and the two teams that play in the CCG are getting in. Period. You can't compare this to basketball because the method for determining conference champ is one game between the "top" two teams -- not everybody in the conference in a seeded tournament format. So if Duke wins, that opens the door up for a second G5 school to get in. Does it have to work that way? Or does that open the door for Texas to sneak in?
