    Why are you giving closetohumping credit? I thought @BurntOrange&White constructed this. Compared to all of his idiocy in getting accidentally trolled on twitter/x, I thought this one was actually funny. 

    In the great tradition of making a joke funny by explaining it, was making fun of closetohumping for reposting transfer tweets that he saw online. The joke being that the only possible way to have seen this was in this very thread. There, now I made it funny.

    Well your longer post is also incorrect.

    Massey - 1.) SEC 7.99 2.) Pac-12 7.85 3.) Big 12 7.85 4.) Big 10 7.80 5.) ACC 7.61

    So virtual tie for 2nd

    Sagarin (combining divisions)  - 1.) SEC 80.09 2.) Big 12 78.28 3.) Pac-12 78.08 4.) Big 10 76.55 5.) ACC 73.91

    This is the theme. SEC is first, Big 12 is second along with the Pac-12, then Big 10 and ACC in clear 4th and 5th, respectively. "The Big 12 is utter dogshit" is a stupid and verifiably false statement that is itself utter dogshit.

    It's also worth noticing that in both systems the SEC lead over Big 12 and Pac-12 is less than the gap between Big 10 and ACC. The SEC is still the strongest strength of schedule but I strongly suspect that the gap between #1 and #2 is less than the average over the last 10 seasons.

    SEC Championship - You know an SEC team is getting in, that is either 13-0 Georgia or 12-1 Alabama

    The SEC and PAC champions are both getting in even if it is Oregon and Alabama.*  Our only hopes are on Michigan and/or FSU losses

    * There is an outside chance of jumping 12-1 Oregon or Alabama if they play like shit and win a 5-3 OT game while we cruise over OK St.

    Stop it. You don't know. Nobody knows until the committee announces it in that case. The SEC is down this year and you'd be asking the committee to ignore Head-to-head. They might, of course, but stating it like a fact is silly.

    Show me the history with a comparable situation. History shows that conference champs trump non-conference champs of equal record. I absolutely agree it is unlikely that the SEC gets left out, which is why I gave it a 1% chance of happening. Again, I think that would take Michigan, Washington, and FSU winning, and Alabama winning with Milroe going down in the closing minutes and being unable to play in the playoffs. 

    With a win, Texas is in if either Louisville or Iowa wins. Texas has a very good shot at being in if Bama and Oregon win (combinations are Texas/Bama at 60%, Oregon/Bama at 38.5%, and Texas/Oregon at 1%, and Bama/Georgia at .5%). Texas has a low probability of being in if Washington and Bama win (along with FSU and Michigan). 

    I'm not sure why you keep bringing up Pac 12 title game as if it is relevant. Even if Oregon wins, your own example shows Texas / Oregon only going in 1% of time. I agree that there is a sliver of a chance that Texas passes Oregon but it seems pretty damn low to me. The two realistic games that matter (assuming Texas wins of course) are ACC and SEC title games.

    Anyone who states conclusively what will happen if Alabama wins is a fool but I do think there is a >50% chance that Texas goes in over Alabama.

    Do you think Elon’s lawsuit against Media Matters has merit? If so, why?

    according to Techdirt.com. You forgot to add that.

    I think (hope) he was just commenting on the many references in the image, which I did find kind of funny.

    I thought Trevor was vindicated by the lawsuit against the woman who specifically texted her friends about her plot to extort money out of him with false claims of abuse? Is there some other bad stuff he did, because afaik the domestic violence stuff was bogus. 

    I believe that he was absolutely vindicated against one woman accusing him of violent sexual acts (the decision from a month ago). He has also faced accusations against at least three other women. As far as I know none of the other accusations have made it to court. Also as far as I know he has not denied the rough encounters took place, just that they were consensual. I have not committed these details to memory so I could be off, just my recollections.

    Just my opinion but if someone I knew got off on rough sex leaving bruising and lacerations, even if consensual, I would think it was pretty damn skeevy. I don't know if I would call that person a scumbag but would certainly have a negative impression of him/her.

    Genocide? Please. 
     
    The Holocaust was attempted genocide against the Jewish people. 
     
    What Turkey tried to do to the Armenians was attempted genocide. 
     
    What the Hutus tried to do to the Tutsis was attempted genocide. 
     
    Israel is not attempting anything like genocide. Calling it genocide is a form of anti-semitism, implying these accusers learned more from the Holocaust than the Jews did. 

    Oh for fuck's sake, these takes are getting more and more ridiculous. I frankly am not interested in arguing over what level of killing innocent people rises to the definition of "genocide" but it is not a goddanm form of anti-semitism to call it that as used in common discussion. I am not even saying Israel should or should not be doing what they are doing but you continuously conflate criticism of Israel with anti-semitic views. They can overlap of course, but are not one and the same.

    Now, you should probably get back to that mediocre graphic you're making for your boss' TPS report before they discover that you're doomscrolling in the snack room on your phone again.

    You take that back. It's going to be an excellent graphic. I am using animations and everything.

    So I’m reading this rube’s drunkstumble into this thread with his equivocations.  I’m like “this is a new guy. geez. “ Then I see that he’s got plenty of posts and rep. I’ve never seen the handle. 

    Then I checked his activity. Shockingly, he’s a Cloak Roomer who pops out of that shithole every now and then to post about the NBA and neg other posters on random sports threads. 

    Fucking Cloak Room. 

    Can you show us where the Clock Room touched you? Do you enjoy just making shit up? I looked at his last 4 pages of his posts because I am procrastinating on making a chart for work and 27% of his posts are in CR. He's a fucking idiot to be sure but he has more posts in both Football (proving the fucking idiot part) and basketball than CR. CR doesn't claim him.

    Folks…it was not good today. It was unequivocally bad. Maalik drug his nuts over our and their faces tonight. I still think this team wins out even with MM, but holy fuck. 
     

    @ztejas you summoned me and let this be known. Any time you summon me the bet is paid. You have 48 hours to make right or I pay it and you are gone until you square up. 

    Wait, are you sure @Jewish Wang feels any more comfortable with you having his payment info?

  11. Jfc, do people really think the "sexy" SBF sketch is an actual court sketch? I guess I believe that DT Jr believes that but I am hoping that people in general aren't as gullible.

    For the record, this was one of the actual SBF sketches:
