  1. He will say anything in a cameo and delivers with enthusiasm RPReplay_Final1701788309.mov RPReplay_Final1701788583.mov
  2. Book now on Cameo. lulz.
  3. I’m not irritated with the committee and their criteria. It’s subjective. FSU got hosed. All they can do is win their games, and they did. Including a win against LSU. What’s irritating me is Finebaum. His argument is FSU lost their QB so that should exclude them from the playoff. History has shown a team can win it all with a 3rd stringer. I’d like for the talking heads to at least mention this as an argument against his weak point.
  4. I got news for you. All the teams left the choice up to a committee. That’s how all of this works.
  5. Wisky had 4 turnovers. tOSU had 300 yds rushing. It’s a stretch to say the QB hung 60 points when it was a total team domination.
  6. Finebaum’s primary argument this morning is founded on “FSU’S starting QB is injured”. No one is calling out the same situation with tOSU 10 years ago. It’s irritating me. Finebaum is stumping for the SEC as he should cause that’s his money but the talking heads should bring up tOSU to counteract his argument.
  7. This. It should Mich, Wash, FSU and Texas. Seeding is debatable. I say this as an OU alumn.
  8. Pretty simple. Wash and Mich are undefeated. The consensus opinion is these teams faced tough opponents, beat them, and played their way in. 2 spots left. tOSU and Oregon are out because they recently lost to mich and wash, respectively. FSU, texas, georgia and bama for two spots. Bama over georgia. That was decided Sat. Texas over bama. That was decided in tuscaloosa. Bama or FSUis the question.
  9. Bama had to convert a 4 and goal from the 31 yd line to win against a 6-5 auburn team. Texas already beat bama in tuscaloosa. I know this is unfathomable but maybe no SEC team played their way into the playoffs.
  10. So, teams can win without an exceptional QB.
  11. The argument of losing the starting QB falls apart when looking back to the first playoff in 2014. Ohio State was on their 3rd string QB, Cardell Jones. Jones first starting game was the big 10 champ game. tOSU was winning with their running game (zeke) and defense. Jones only threw 17 passes in the big 10 champ game. tOSU beat #1 bama in the semis and oregon in the champ game.
  12. Got 2 tickets on stubhub. My wife is a longhorn fan, and I’m an OU alumn. She went with me to the OU Georgia rose bowl a few years ago. I’m returning the favor and will be there for the horns.
  13. Am I missing something? What does this mean?
  14. Coming to austin tomorrow for the Fri and Sat night Houndmouth shows at Antoine’s.
  15. I suggest you carry a roll of toilet paper. When he makes some comment about your kids identifying as something, hand him the roll of toilet paper and say nothing; just look at him and wait for his questioning response. Then say, “oh I thought you might need this now that you identify as an asshole”.
  16. He didn’t come here to play school
  17. I prefer to do the ad absurdum approach and enthusiastically with them. I take the maga argument to such levels of ridiculous-ness that it becomes obvious it’s pure satire. They fall silent when I do it. I enjoy looking at their expressions and wonder if there’s an ounce of self reflection going on in there. I’m old and have zero dependence on any of them so it’s risk free.
  18. I’ve been interested in a couple of their styles. I tried on one pair at the tecovas on south congress and the other at northpark in dallas. Each pair had a dye defect. I took an uber in austin last month. The driver and I talked about boots. He said he used to work for tecovas and said they have QC issues. I want to like tecovas but their quality is suspect. If the finish is poor, I suspect what’s under the hood is defective as well.
  19. Average temps look to be low of 7 with high of 14. That’s very cold but not prohibitive. Was it windy there? Wind combined with those temps would be difficult to withstand.
  20. Wife and I were spitballing vacation ideas for the week between christmas and new years. Banff was suggested. Anyone been there? Suggestions on where to stay? Recommendations on skiing lake louis, banff or mt norquay? I boarded since ‘95 but have aged out of it. I ski blues. Not interested in moguls; looking for steep blues primarily. Wife is going for the views. I doubt she’ll put on skis but would get in a gondola to see the views. We’d prefer to be walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Seems like downtown banff kinda fits the bill but looking for suggestions.
  21. It is oddly remote, and the south side of the peninsula is oddly sparsely populated. Then you pop up in the port of LA. I’m in the logistics software biz and found the drive on the 47 over the port fascinating.
  22. Palos Verdes Estates -the views from the north side of the peninsula to redondo beach are epic. But goddamn, that’s a rough commute to USC everyday as opposed to driving around norman.
  23. I made a prediction on some other thread a week or two ago - Riley to Univ of Miami. Riley likes cities as opposed to college towns. Great pool of recruits. Although, I’m unsure if there’s a good NIL program at miami.
  24. That ain’t God talking; it’s the undiagnosed schizophrenia.
