  1. I think they are doing both.
  2. The show definitely needed some sort of explanation for the significance of the green dress, but providing it as the dress was being revealed was lazy writing. Should have had a conversation an episode or two earlier talking about the different colors of flame and what they mean, sort of how Game of Thrones explained a whole lot of things with Jon Snow's conversations with the maester at the wall.
  3. I think it would have made more sense if the insects infected with cordyceps would have started attacking humans.
  4. Yeah, I also thought that was a pretty big plot hole.
  5. Kansas/KSU: Winner gets a bouquet of sunflowers and a big ass box of chocolate chip cookies, plus 20 gallons of milk. BYU/Baylor: If BYU wins, Baylor has to display a book of Mormon in a prominent location on campus. If Baylor wins, same thing but it's a regular bible and not King James version. KSU/ISU: Winner gets presented with 100 pounds of cornbread and two industrial sized tubs of butter. OSU/Tech: The loser has to supply all of the clowns at the winner's next school rodeo.
  6. Probably smart of the conference to try to help OSU as much as they can. That's a program that will get some benefit of the doubt from the national media, despite having a roster that looks like it could finish 14th in the conference.
  7. Expansion didn't make sense until Texas and OU were leaving. Why would you give up a true round robin for any two of the four teams that got added? If Texas and OU would have stayed, we would be getting ready to add Oregon and Washington.
  8. They have all of the resources to succeed, but it's entirely possible that Venables sucks and they end up taking a walk through the wilderness for a decade or two trying to find a coach to turn things back around.
  9. Yeah, I really don't see how the league could have been more accommodating, short of having different schools that made more money. The schools in the conference have done everything they possibly can to keep Texas happy.
  10. I'm curious how you believe the Big 12 was giving the middle finger to Texas. They allowed unequal revenue sharing for a very long time when all other conferences split revenue equally. They allowed schools to keep all tier 3 revenue and allowed Texas to have their own network when no other conference would have even considered that. Frankly, the biggest anti-Texas voices in the conference bailed, and now Texas is leaving to rejoin one of them. Texas has been kneecapping themselves competitively all on their own.
  11. This isn't a reboot of Scooby Doo. It's a show dedicated to mocking Scooby Doo.
  12. TCU will still be TCU, even if they win. Georgia will regularly get recruits that Texas wants. TCU won't.
  13. I don't understand how anyone could watch TCU play Michigan and still believe that Michigan is bigger and more physical up front. I don't know who is bigger, but TCU completely dominated the LOS.
  14. Yeah, Deuce has commercial money, merchandise sales, and a deal that lets him drive a Porsche around Manhattan. I could see NIL pulling non-skill position players from mid-level programs to blue bloods, but I really don't see standout stars leaving.
  15. Honestly, I wouldn't put it past the Gaetz crew to intentionally cast just the right amount of votes for McCarthy to create a tie if they went to a plurality vote. It wouldn't be hard to do, given that the vote doesn't have many hard and fast rules and you can change votes after the initial count.
  16. None of the 20 holdouts are going to admit to the McCarthy camp that they would change their vote. It's going to take a leap of faith to go for a plurality vote.
  17. On the 13th vote, JFK Jr. will get nominated. He won't win then, but he will eventually prevail and only then will he reveal himself. At that point, even the democrats will be true believers and they will all fall in line to impeach Biden and Kamala, then install Jr. Trump will be appointed vice president.
  18. The magas are better off allowing Jeffries to win than dealing with McCarthy at this point. He's not going to forget this embarrassment. Plus, they will always have enough votes to recall Jeffries.
  19. Jeffries winning would be funny, but the Rs would get their shit together enough to recall him within a week, and then still not be able to get anyone elected.
  20. Yeah, he's out there looking like losing 6 times in 2 days is his fetish.
  21. Just 5. It's amazing that they keep voting, like McCarthy is going to swing 15 votes. Even if he changes the rules so a single member can call for his removal, he's not going to get 15 of them on his side.
  22. The voting is rigged. The nominee is supposed to negotiate, give concessions, and make promises to secure enough votes to ensure victory. McCarthy is the first dumbass in 100 years to not be able to do that before his first ballot.
  23. The games you win matter more than the games you lose. Winning a national championship is better than winning a conference championship, but if TCU loses to Georgia, they didn't win anything. And I agree that the Big 12 championship game is pointless, but we only have the game because of TCU, so it's hard to feel sorry for them.
  24. I think NIL and the transfer portal might actually be helping mid-sized P5 programs. They weren't beating blue bloods for recruits before, and now they can be an attractive destination for former high level recruits who aren't seeing the field.
  25. SEC fatigue is very powerful and very real.
