  1. Michigan fans need to get some schooling from OU fans on how to properly throw the Horns Down. 
    I prefer Gameday but it's not the worst show. That said, it was a much better show when they were doing it in a studio. A lot less buffoonery. No dumb music artists. 

    I’m in Ann Arbor and had multiple Michigan fans hit me with the “Hang Ten” down lol

    Admin getting cooked for this, and rightfully so.

     

    Whoever is running their social media is bitchmade just like their coach.  OTOH maybe they should just lean into being the heel?  It's kinda rare thou for the heel to be total ass, usually they're somewhat a threat.

  3. Can someone talk me out of betting NDSU+10?  I'm having a hard time seeing cu convincingly beating a well coached tough team.  And no I cannot name a single player or coach for the bison.

    I also want to. But cu is such a wildcard and I can see Deion and shedur chucking it late up 7 easily

    Silas had the year he had with DJU. 

    Good for him?  Bolden caught 54 of DJ's 180 completions last year, so a third?  He was targeted a lot.  Can't find any reliable YAC stats Bolden to see how many of his 750 yards were him vs. DJ.  Did you watch a ton of OSU last year?  I suspect we're going to find out this year that Bolden is elite at making his QB look good, which is awesome for Quinn.

    DJ is still an average college QB, and was very inconsistent.  They pumped his completion percentage today by tossing a lot to the sidelines.  He made a few clutch 4th down tosses, credit there - but also airmailed a ton that resulted in those 4th downs.  Last year he only completed 57%.

    The FSU I saw today is 3rd - 5th place in the ACC.  Couldn't stop the run, defense looked lost.  Inconsistent on offense and in creating a push up front.

    Rhoback is similar to every single other performance golf shirt out there. I've got a couple of their golf shirts but I prefer Peter Millar, Johnnie O, Stitch, Greyson and Onward Reserve.

    The worst thing about Rhoback is that obnoxiously placed huge fucking dog logo on the shoulder.

    You're the one queefing about how there is absolutely nothing the NCAA can do, we're saying updating the fucking website is the bare minimum. Also I've been an astros fan since I was a kid, went to every home opener going back to the 80's. Watched so, so fucking many years where they were dogshit but didn't care, still went. I'm not indignant about the uproar over the signal bullshit from 17, I absolutely do not hold my middle finger up about that shit. How about you have some standards and stop being a rolled over bitch? Cheaters fucking suck.

    You need to go smoke some of that weed and chill the fuck out.  I never said cheaters don't suck, so get those words outta my mouth.  I said the NCAA can't do shit about it, and that's by design.

    The NCAA recognizes football BCS/CFP/AP national champions, and has vacated them in the past as well:

    https://www.ncaa.com/history/football/fbs

    See the asterisk next to Southern Cal in 2004? Read the comment associated. They can absolutely, 100% vacate Michigan's participation in the national championship game, even retroactively, because they have in the past.

    That means less than nothing.  An asterisk, oh no!  They can't take the trophy back. There is no effective punishment the NCAA can dole out.  Post-season ban?  Punishes future players who had nothing to do with the infraction.  Punish the coach?  Oh the one who is gone to the NFL now?  Fines?  UM will laugh at that and can afford it.  Scholarship reductions?  The boosters will replace them with NIL deals of equal or more value.

    If this were Texas we'd have our middle finger held high for the world to see as we basked in our championship.  The UM alumnus I know are doing the same.  If I ask them would they rather have a Championship* or Lloyd Carr the answer is crystal clear.  So yeah they cheated and they got away with it.  If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin'

    NCAA: "He's a cheater in a multitude of ways and no one is allowed to hire him for the next four seasons without a year-long suspension."

    Also NCAA: "Here's your title trophy you earned. Congratulations!"

    Fuck this organization and all the ways they are corrupt and incompetent.

    The NCAA doesn't give the title trophy, the CFP does.  NCAA != CFP and the NCAA can't revoke a title they never gave for that reason.

    It's popular to bash the NCAA.  Remember that the NCAA was created at the behest of and with the buy-in and support of the universities that created it, like UT and all of our new SEC friends, the B1G members, and so on.  They created the NCAA to do what they struggled to do themselves but wanted, which was to provide governance and more importantly to be a punching bag for all the unpopular decisions they didn't want to put their stamp on, like scholarship limits, academic standards, retaining amateurism, and penalizing rule breakers.  

    It's a heck of a lot easier to sit back and say "those corrupt fat fucks at the NCAA are holding us down" "They're the ones preventing athletes from monetizing their NIL!"  Why do you think the NCAA did any of that?  Why do you think they held on so long that they get bitchslapped at the SCOTUS?  It wasn't for fun, it was because their membership wanted it.

    Now with all the money in major college football, there is a schism in the NCAA membership between the have's like UT in Power 2 and the have not's in the G7 and below.  With the P2 programs turning profit it's no longer a "sports problem," it's a "sports opportunity" and the university presidents at those places are starting to care more.  Board members like Eltife are even getting involved at a level previously not seen publicly.  The power conferences are going to split off soon in football to establish more permissive rules for scholarships, recruiting, etc.  They will form a new body, like the NCAA but just for major college football.  The NCAA won't die, they don't even want to govern major college football because they don't make money on it and only get headaches.

    So yeah I can empathize with NCAA, they're stuck in the middle between stakeholders who want diametrically opposed things.  They can't pick a winner because their membership is both.  They can't split the middle either.  Every choice is a losing choice for them.  They've also had some truly foot-in-the-mouth leadership along the way too, which doesn't help.

    Also fuck you for making me defend the NCAA.

    Finally, FINALLY a game that accurately depicts college football.  I for one appreciate having 5 of the top 5 Heisman candidates.  I'm 3 games into the season and Trey Moore is a cheat code, I have about 25 sacks with him in 3 games.

    Looking forward to our 100 point MoV this year, anything less is a disappointment.

    Thanks, that clarifies some things for me.  She was never particularly "overweight" although she would have been happy weighing maybe 20 lbs less.  She's always eaten pretty well, but there was certainly a sugar component via lots of fruit and a fair amount of breads & other carbs.  She has never been a drinker (or drugger).

    The diagnosis wasn't fun, but she now sees that there will be an upside and of course it's good to keep these kind of health issues front and center.

    If she's on metformin it's 99.999% gonna be Type 2.   Which was always going to be anyway considering her age and genetics and the population at large.  9 out of 10 diabetics are Type 2.  Type 2 usually presents later in life, and can be managed via diet and lifestyle - sometimes even eliminating the need for drugs, but not always.  Type 2 is strongly genetically typed, so your kids will need to look out for it.  Certain populations (Native American, Hispanic) are more susceptible.  Type 2 you usually still make your own insulin, just your body becomes less and less sensitive to it.  Drugs like metformin can increase your sensitivity, as can weight loss and changing your diet.  Most Type 2's don't require supplemental exogenous insulin, but those who can't/won't make the lifestyle changes might require it.  Type 2 is where the diabeetus memes come from. :/  

    Type 1 (formerly "juvenile") diabetes typically presents in childhood/teens, but over the past few decades later incidences in life have become more common.  I was diagnosed Type 1 at 29 years old, and didn't have symptoms until that year.  Type 1 is not strongly genetically typed, my kids have only a ~3% elevated chance of getting it because I have it.  They don't know the cause of Type 1, it's an autoimmune condition and theories range from a virus to environmental to stress.  Regardless in Type 1 your body attacks your insulin producing cells and kills them off so as someone said upthread you must take exogenous insulin - as I do via an insulin pump.  My insulin sensitivity however is fine, I just don't make any.

    I've practiced for 2 days, I think I have offense down.

    Now on to defense.

     

    I'm so old.....🤣

    Same.  I do really like how they did the mini games, they're kinda fun and challenging to get gold, especially if you're against Georgia's defense.

    That guy annoys the hell out of me.  The idea that Sark was a reach because he was being hired as Texas HC from Bama OC completely ignores his HC experience at UDub and USC, and while he didn't set the world on fire at either place, he did well, and was fired for non-football reasons.  Just ignoring that is an editorial felony.  He barely mentioned anything about his "personal problems" and how that changed the narrative and career arc.

    Pate is the worst of the college football commentators, except for all the others.

    LMFAO Tech fans bitching about the masked Rider not being in the game. Comment section is gold 

     

    The most unrealistic part of that video is Texas playing @ Tech.  That ain't ever happening again.

    Two Georgia Players Arrested for Reckless Driving

    On Thursday morning, it was announced that two Georgia football players were arrested for reckless driving, one of which was also charged with racing, first reported by UGAsports.com. Offensive lineman Bo Hughley was involved in a single-car accident and the incident included failure to maintain lane and reckless driving. Linebacker Smael Mondon was also charged with reckless driving and racing. The two incidents were not connected and were separate.
