I just think the bottom line is if you lost more than one game and you get a playoff berth it is a gift.
I am not going to lose any sleep our 3 loss team didn't make it. Even if some less deserving teams made it in. We had a shot to get it done and we didn't.
And yes I understand the perverse scheduling incentives that creates. If it is solely about your losses and not your wins then why take any risks? But college football has always been that way.
Fair. So long as no undefeated teams get left out again I am alright. 2017 UCF deserves to get blown out by the big boys like any basketball mid major.
If we get one major G5 upset every decade in the playoffs I say it was worth it.
I do not understand this whine. The G5 gets to compete in every other sport.
They get one spot. If they at some point get a super team they will have their shot to win it.
I have zero issue with them being in the playoff. Now maybe make it so the G5 school has to be undefeated or something. Sure. But I am not interested in some lame bullshit where some G5 team goes unbeaten and doesn't get a shot. That's fucking bullshit. We set up this damn playoff to stop that garbage from happening and you losers want to bring it back.
The frustrating part was is that all through that period when they were attacking Biden for being a mush brain, I would agree but point out Trump was in pretty much the same place to crickets. Oh but now we are hypocrites for pointing it out but they aren't. Oh no.
And yes the Dem base revolted as well as many major Dem insiders when it became clear to us what condition Joe was in. But I guess that never happened? I am so tired of the endless rewriting of history to make the whataboutisms work.
Yeah and Franklin was supposed to be awesome because he won at Vanderbilt.
Getting it done at a small school doesn't always translate to being able to run a major program.
I sort of think the separation of the Executive and the Legislature is a mistake. I think Parliamentary systems might be better...or at least less suspectible to the sort of one man rule our system seems to be.
But, to be fair, I haven't done any deep studies on this. Just my impression.
Not me. My cars are cheap.
But I can't afford to go to UT Football games anymore. Or barely non-Tuesday UT Baseball games. Or non winter break UT Basketball games.
100K obviously isn't crap anymore. Tons of you fuckers are making me look poor as fuck.
Yes. This has been true for decades. The Founders were wrong and the underlying foundations of the Constitution are flawed. They assumed that Congress would want power. Congress does not. It is weird they assumed this because this exact same process played out in many of the ancient civilizations the Founders were enamoured with. The privledges? The prestige? The wealth? Yes. The power? No. Having power means work and taking risks. Congress is happy to put as much on the President as possible and just keep getting re-elected.
It just blows me away that the President now has the power to just undo acts of Congress with an Executive Order. I know that is standard procedure since January of this year but damn. It's so weird.
