    I feel safer knowing there are male Karens staying in airport hotels for a week in one of the greatest cities in the world, and that they're out there remedying the many outlandish grievances afflicting white male boomers today. 

    FYI, there's a great Chili's near your hotel. Check it out!

    Love the false assignment of any social value whatsover to being on a work trip.  LMAO.  
     

    Also, not remotely a boomer, but keep rollin...
     

    Great grasp of reality there. 

  2. I don't go to Chilis

     

    The past 10 days have been great from a food perspective. Multiple legit taquerias, multiple deep dish pizza joints, a mom/pop diner that was outfuckingstanding, and a little Italian place 2 times. Had Asian food yesterday and it was great too. 
     

    Yeah, the hotel ain't my choice, and it positively has to be the dumpiest Marriott in which I've ever stayed.  
     

    Oh well.  Will be back in Texas on Friday.

    splain me how domer's 50 million nbc deal split 18 ways is worth it to the b1g or sec?

    domer is going to want a full share PLUS 50% of their incremental add

    they are going to have to feel pain in the form of a sec/b1g boycott by the 11 teams cancelling their current contracts and waterboarding nbc

    this presser is going to be goald

    You asked why. 
    You didn't say it had to make sense. 
    Being stupid in spite of reason or logic is at the very core of this (very profitable) pile of shit.

    I don’t have a lot of sympathy for the teams that got left out. It’s really hard to say a team with 2+ losses is deserving of a shot at a championship. That said, I think UT and ND are more capable at making a run at it than at least 7 of the teams that did get in. That tells me that 12 isn’t enough. It also confirms my bias that 16 was the right number for a playoff  since before they went to 4 teams. 

    This year it could be argued that 4 would be enough. Last year showed that at least 8 is needed to identify a champion. 12 could have been enough this year if bama and 1 of the G6 teams were left out. 

    I think 16 is the right number. It doesn’t discourage compelling early season matchups. It preserves the value of the conference championship games. It includes at least two G6 teams for the occasional Cinderella story. Plus it puts into play the possibility of a G6 team that goes undefeated in their schedule to host a blue blood school for a playoff game delivering the type of event that would only be possible in college football. 

    I think the bids should be:

    the conference champions of the B1G, SEC, ACC, and Big 12. You win that game and you’re in. That is the biggest piece of not punishing good OOC games. 

    The next two bids should go to the two highest ranked g6 teams. I think including these teams is good for the sport and creates much more interesting story lines for everyone except the fans of the 5th or 6th best sec/b1g team that gets left out. I don’t give a fuck about them. They are probably a better team, maybe, but we know they aren’t one of the best 4-5 teams in their conference. They can get fucked. 

    After those 6 conference champions, give me 10 at-large bids. 

    The committee should be granted some latitude in the seeding to avoid rematches in the first round. 

    My bracket for this year sets up thusly:

    1 IU - 16 Duke

    8 OU - 9 Miami

    5 Ore - 12 BYU

    4 TT - 13 Texas

     

    6 Miss - 11 ND

    3 OSU - 14 Tul

    7 A&M - 10 Bama

    2 UGA - 15 JMU

     

    IU’s reward, or OSU’s punishment, for the B1G championship game is that OSU and UGA are on the opposite side of the bracket.

    I didn’t spend much time on seeding, just avoiding 1st round rematches. Looking at it now, I’d get bama away from a second round 3rd game against UGA. But I think that’s the only major flaw I see in this bracket. 

    Should aggy win their first rd game, Ohio State also gets the reward of playing a defacto home game against A&M at JerryWorld.  
    Did the committee just not GAF?

    A pundit on some sports talk radio show said that may not be good for tech in the playoff which made sense. 

    It's absolutely not good.  I've bitched about it all season, but have been told "Morton is better than average."

    It's either Morton or the play calling but someone screws the pooch on the regular in that department.
