  1. If we make it to Friday, that's gonna be tough. Can't really trust any of the 1-2's
  2. I'm ready now if y'all are kicking people out
  3. Venmo sent 1 - North Carolina 2 - Iowa State 3 - Baylor 4 - Auburn 5 - Gonzaga 6 - BYU 7 - Florida 8 - FAU 9 - aggy 10 - UVA/CSU winner 11 - Oregon 12 - Grand Canyon 13 - Charleston 14 - Morehead State 15 - Long Beach 16 - Montana St / Grambling winner Wild Card: Texas Tech (6 seed)
  4. Would have had the backdoor cover if RT didn't call timeout for the "teachable moment" full court press / hand them two FTs. It's March 5, just play defense, cut the lead to 7 and let Baylor dribble out the clock.
  5. I think we'll cover the spread? Based on BU being on more of a high after a mostly easy whipping of Kansas. Also with so many days off coming up, no reason for our guys not to ball out until the final whistle, even if we're behind most of the time. Backdoor cover
  6. I like the theory that USA is bound for Philly on July 4, assuming a favorable path to the final 16
  7. Glad I'm not there this weekend, but really curious what it will be like. So many of the strip hotel rooms will be occupied by NFL or NFL-adjacent employees who have strict no-gambling clauses in their contracts. Then cheap-ass Niners fans who are always in Vegas anyway. Kinda suspect there will be a lot of empty $50+ tables at the mid-range casinos. I also think a lot of people fly out before the game on Sunday, which is unusual for a Vegas SB weekend.
  8. Where are they now update....
  9. John Ourand wouldn't be wrong about something this big. Congrats again to O's fans. Private equity generally sucks but has to be better than whatever the Angelos family would have done
  10. I've stayed in Livonia a few times. It's convenient to the airport and Ann Arbor, without going through Detroit. Mostly chain hotels and restaurants, but there are plenty of them so cost isn't bad. If you stay right by the airport (Romulus), there are practically no restaurants or activities. Game day traffic is kind of like Norman, OK...there just aren't many options so prepare to go early. Luckily there's lots to do and see around the stadium and the weather should be nice (or not as hot as Texas, at least). Glad to hear Detroit is rehabbing well. So much potential left over from the auto days
  11. Lots of fucking in this show. Reminds me of a saying I heard way back, I think it was about Upper Peninsula Michigan: In the summer, all they do is fish and fuck. In the winter, they don't fish.
  12. The Eagles winning at the Cardinals' stadium today would be salt in the wound here in Philly
  13. 11 am local kickoff, looks like a Cardinals pre-season game in there CFP expanding just in time, because the four non-playoff "NY6" bowls have been total duds
  14. Actual Traylor quote during the trophy presentation:
  15. It was refreshing to see that big digital effects don't have to be used constantly throughout a movie. After a few of the slow/exposition parts, I realized each of the Godzilla scenes was going to be even more badass than the previous. So it was worth waiting through the quiet dialogue scenes (which weren't too cheesy or anything).
  16. I saw this at SoFi, it's legit. Not sure how many suites Revel has, but they will sell out. I think it's possible to not spend a dollar on food/beverage the entire afternoon/evening if you're in this package. (Morning you're on your own if that's your thing)
  17. I can believe no one used the term "SEC" in the meeting. But they know damn well what's at stake if they downgrade Bama. While I don't feel the slightest bit for FSU and their fans, those two backup QBs got a really raw deal. Basically their entire program was sent to the kiddie table because they couldn't score a couple TDs. It's good that there are two of them otherwise one dude would be a college football Buckner/Bartman for life.
  18. All this Mandel bashing is appreciated, but his initial point that the committee can sidestep the H2H argument by ranking Bama 2-3 spots ahead of us is definitely plausible. Our main hope is they decide a QB-less FSU would be overwhelmed in a semifinal.
  19. He's from Hershey PA so now I actually like him
  20. I'm sad that I'm aging out of GameDay's target demo but more sad that ESPN is gonna fuck up the strategy of reaching the new demo. If they even need a new demo.
  21. Aaron Nola staying in Philly! Seven years and $172 million
  22. Least "celebrity" celebrity guest picker I can recall. I'd have gone with the JMU lacrosse coach or something. But I know I'm not the target demo for this clown (or McAfee for that matter)
