    And that's the rub.  If you went back and told 1996 me that the Clintons would look trustworthy compared to the current crop of Republican leaders,  and that the GOP panders to a fucking cult that thinks Tom Hanks and Oprah Winfrey are drinking the fluids of child slaves to stay young, I would have laughed heartily at you.

    You might as well have told me that the Astros would switch to the American League and win a World Series.  I'd have an easier time believing that.

     

    This is the world we currently live in. Meanwhile China and Europe are the most stable they have been in a long time and are making significant economic and technological progress while we sit here in America telling everyone how awesome we are.

    That's pretty bitch ass as far as tsunamis go.

    i mean it's like a surprise no warning flash flood at your house, not a tsunami that will just scrape the landscape. This ruined all that shit.

    We didn't really establish who the best team was this year either.  Bama beat Georgia, and in the rematch the inverse happened.  So it was basically a coin toss.  Georgia was just better that day.   These rematch games (against very good+ teams)  tend to favor the loser of the first encounter from what I recall.   FSU-Florida, LSU-Bama, TX-OU, TX,-Colorado (OK, CU wasn't a very good team), etc. 

     

     

    You want them best 2 out of 3. They destroyed everyone else. No one else stood a chance. 

    I would be okay with the argument if they didn't absolutely dumpster everyone else the entire season. Aggy fluked Alabama at home and Georgia outwilled them in the national championship down 2 of their top producing WR (not an excuse, just important detail) 

    You are arguing that Baylor or some other shit ass team should have played? Alabama ran Cincinnati out of the fucking stadium. Even OSU proved Notre Dame was trash. OSU is hot garbage. You think they even score a td against either of these teams? 

    Georgia allowed 16 touchdowns in 14 games or something ridiculous, just stop with your hurr durr we don't know if they are actually the best team.

    The exact opposite seems to be playing out. What programs can launch  things like the Pancake Factory? I know Tech tried something, but the elite talent is going to go to the winners with the most money to offer. 

    Transfers are going to the winners with money as well.  Georgia and Bama over the last two years have picked up Gilbert, Kendrick, Smith, Williams, To'o To'o, Ricks, and Jahmyr Gibbs. All but Tykee Smith were top 100 recruits. 3/5 available played significant roles in the championship game. Ricks and Gibbs will be huge for Bama next year. If you aren't familiar with Gibbs, remember that name when you play them next year. Georgia hasn't even started on the 2022 portal. 

    If Bama and Georgia can't plug holes with elite talent that's immediately eligible to play, I think we see a different championship game the other night. 

    And then a handful of those guys are transferring penalty free. We are seeing a lot of 1 or 2 year shuffles. 

    We are also seeing a complete rebalancing with NIL and pancake factory and other things aren't going to be the only things they are just the early leaders. It won't be hard for any school that takes football seriously to get 4.5M to players which is about 85 scholarship players getting 50k a year. It's hard now because it's pioneering and no one knows if it's necessary, when it's tablestakes people will just buy tickets. How much do you think every one of these 80-90k stadiums makes at the gate every year per game? 

    80*65 = 5200 * 1000 = 5,200,000 

    Well looks like for 1 extra "home game" a year without even buying concessions for a normal fan at not ridiculous face is enough to pay the whole team more than 50k. 

    When NIL gets normalized to the masses 20-30-50k per player is doable by anyone who actually should be fielding a football team (e.g. their fans actually give a shit and come watch). Right now no one feels like they need to participate, that will change in 2-3 years. No one is going to be going to the highest dollars offered because it's the only place or because it's the difference between 0 and 50k (hint, that's a very big difference, 50-75k is not a crazy difference like coming from 0 is.)

    Anyone used cedar to grill up a ribeye?  Does it impart too much unwanted flavor? 

    We have many campfires each winter at my ranchito that are primarily cedar-fueled since we have plenty of cedar to chop down....and I've never wanted to cook up ribeyes because grilling them normal way is so fn delicious and I'd get mad being all hungry and ruining my ribeye. 

    But think it would be fun to try it so I'm curious if anyone has experience with cedar and steak.

    You can use a dutch oven or something that will keep the fire/smoke off the steak and let it cook inside. You don't want to expose any food you want to eat to cedar fire/smoke directly it will taste like straight ass.
