    Indiana played Old Dominion, Indiana State and Kennesaw State in non conference play. Schools I didn’t even know had a football program until this year.

    It is ridiculous a school can do that and be evaluated in the same sandbox as a Texas or Ohio State.

    Yep. Who was it that played fucking Charlotte the other day? Charlotte? Never heard of it even as a school, much less one that has football. What is that ... Charlotte CC? Seriously. I have no fucking idea.

  2. The key here imho is the ability to give the Committee cover for a decision to put us in the playoff. Just give them a way to frame it so that they don't look like idiots or crooks. In the past they've shown that if given a solid, justifiable rationale, they'll include a team like ours, that was on the bubble or on the outside looking in.

    I think, between Sark in the video above and Bianco in the tweets, they've done that in spades. They've presented multiple very solid arguiments and I think, now, that we'll probably get in. But who knows. None of us knows shit about fuck.

  3. So, how would y'all like a new high-level OW series based on, say, a spec V10 & spec chassis the first season, with teams able to develop them independently going forward, under a cost cap? And let's say that series was going to start in 2028 ....

    Sounds like it has potential to me.

    Agreed and loved his interview before the race.

    Oh, just incase I wasn't clear above, FUCK ZACH BROWN.

    Yep. It's always striking to me how calm he is in the leadup to the race on Sunday. ETA: Especially today ... and I think part of that was because he was probably 90% resigned to his championship ending today barring something crazy. And something crazy just happened to happen, courtesy of McLaren themselves.

    Hamilton doesn’t get out of Q1 in Sprint Qualifying. Wow.

    It's sad. Lost to his teammate 3 of the lasst 4 years now iirc. Lewis sounds completely broken in the pen interviews.

    So I know nothing about F1, I’m fully a Netflix fan. But it seems to me that it kinda sucks that many races are mostly about pitting strategy vs actual racing / passing. Also, there’s something about the F1 cars not looking like “real” cars that makes it kind of overly clinical. 

    By comparison, I’d watch this every week if it was always like this:

    Carry on. 

    100% V8SC does not disappoint. I go back and forth between them and MotoGP being the best racing on the planet (outside of karting). Great stuff.

  7. LOL ... well done McLaren. You don't wanna lock this shit up today? OK. Cool. Max is here for it.

    how are they so bad at picking tracks for sprints? outside of ALO dropping down, how many passes happened after lap 1? 

    "let's just make every sprint race a shitty version of Monaco without the glitz where literally all that matters is quali and the first 30 seconds of the race"

    I don't think they pick the tracks based on any sprint-friendly characteristics. It's more about which circuits want a sprint. COTA has had one every year since they were expanded iirc. That's because they were desperate to make a better showing on Fridays to help justify the state subsidy money, and at the same time, it seems he uses it as an excuse to further weaken the support series slate for the weekend.

    It should count sure, but when comparing resumes with a clearly worse team a 7 point loss to the #1 team on the road to start the season should matter less when we are rolling down the stretch. It shouldn’t just be a straight up 3 loss vs 2 loss comparison. If that’s how the committee treats it we will schedule accordingly in the future, no love lost.

    Este.

    We are not the best team in the country this year, but…there's not more than 4 teams that are better.

    When we fell out of the top 25, my 19 yo said we deserved it etc. I said dropping us out of the poll was just as stupid as putting us #1 was, and that there weren't 25 teams in the country better than Texas. He laughed. I said 'OK then. Name 25'. He gave up pretty quickly.

    “Mo Bamba went here” on the jumbotron

    while blasting Mo Bamba

    omg i died. Ultimate aggy troll, seeing as how their fans think its their tradition/song

    I suggested a while back that they do something like that during this game. Glad to see it happened.

    So it wasn’t a Reimer?

    It records all versions. When you select from library you can “choose a version” of the recording to watch. 

    That's weird. My yttv DVR only shows the KVUE version, the SEC Network original broadcast, and the SEC Network replay. No skycam.
