  1. You are correct. I could not get my keyboard to let me change it to "entertaining" after looking at what I typed first. I'll stand behind the scorpions and frogs reference, though.
  2. Exciting while it lasted. Turns out you actually need a roster. Scorpions and frogs, etc.
  3. But sir, the objective FPI has ND at #10!
  4. [Olin] Violets are purple, roses are not our passing game is feculent snot
  5. I don't remember your previous 5400 posts as this obviously daft.
  6. After reading Daddy98's (I think) insurance sales analogy, I am at least 50% convinced he is a Surly sock running a long con.
  7. Sorry for joining the sidetrack-- I'll post once and then leave it. Our society is perfectly designed to fatten up humans. Those who have said you can lose weight on your own are right for the overwhelming majority of people. Focus on a few simple (yet requiring commitment) rules. If you burn more than you take in, you will lose weight. Most adults reach a point past which exercise in sufficient quantity to affect their weight is unlikely, so the focus should be largely on intake. 1. Only eat at meal time, and stop when you are full. Most people snack or graze at some point. 2. Only eat food over which you have control-- your own from home. The restaurants and food trucks, the sales people with donuts, etc all want to feed your pleasure centers rather than help you moderate your intake. 3. All carbohydrates (except dietary fiber) are sugar. Don't eat sugar if you are watching your weight. You will likely get plenty of sugar even while trying to eliminate it (some people have a medical condition like diabetes or hypoglycemia and need medical supervision on this one). Throw away the sugar in your house from the fridge and the pantry and don't replace it with more. Meat, eggs, greens, and "keto" formulations (the tortillas tend to be edible) are not sugar. Chances are that whatever else you are tempted to buy/eat is sugar or is high in sugar. Fat intake does not lead to the metabolic consequences that make weight loss hard the way that sugar does. Some bacon is OK, but throw away your sugar. 4. As stated above, do not drink calories. Milk is sugar water. Skim milk is sugar water with the delicious fat removed and the sugar retained. Fruit and fruit juice are sugar. Water, unsweetened tea, and unsweetened coffee are not sugar. Artificial sweeteners and diet sodas may increase cravings and impair your satiety signaling, so consume even them with caution. 5. Tell the people around you that you are trying to get in shape. They will be much less likely to sabotage you by inviting you to unhealthy eating and drinking opportunities, and they might even actively support you. 6. Don't go crazy, but give yourself a meal once a week without all the rules. You won't lose all your progress from one meal, and we tend to do better with occasional breaks.
  8. I can almost hear Gordon Lightfoot
  9. The Michigan helmet is not original-- it was copied from Princeton. Bevo, our helmets, the Hook'em Horns, etc are ours.
  10. Nice model in a lot of ways. Humorous that it has ND at 10 and OU at 11.
  11. Monday afternoon aggy fact: As of right now, SMU has won two more games this year than A&M, LSU, and FSU have combined.
  12. Texas 30 Michigan 17 Michigan receiving 150
  13. Kyle Field All-time Record as of ND game 2024: 374-170-26, giving them credit for all the games they played against FCS patsies and real teams alike. That makes .679. [334-156-12 through 2015 (per A&M media guide via Wikipedia), 40-14 since 2015 (per sports-reference.com)] Our record at DKR is 400-122-10 (per UT Athletics via Wikipedia), or .761. Tell me again about the tougher place to play.
  14. You are not through paying until at least 6 hours after eating Taco Bell.
  15. Don't go for CR-light. Be CR-free. If you are at all tempted to mention CR in justifying your post, make it on CR.
  16. Yoga Berra is quoted as saying that it's hard to make predictions, especially about the future. That said, money talks. The NCAA is a leech that lives off of basketball tournament money, and that money is eventually going to find a home with someone who has something to offer other than being pretentious. 20 years from now, and probably much sooner, NCAA will have ceased to have meaningful existence with respect to big college sports. Conferences may not disappear though, because they have meaning, function, and value outside of CFB and basketball. Call whatever contract settles how the teams in Prestige Worldwide interact a super-conference charter, but don't be surprised if vestiges of the old system remain.
  17. SEC TEXAS, UGA, Ole Miss, Bama B1G tOSU, PSU, UO, UM ACC UM B12 Utah G5 Biberty IND ND
  18. You originally listed it as separate from UTHSC/H to make your list of 4. If you meant schools that offer medically related (but not actually MD) degrees, your list is missing quite a few. If you tell me what you really meant by one of only four medical institutions, I can make fun of your real point more easily. I'm just having fun here waiting on our season to start-- no hard feelings I hope.
  19. MD Anderson is a medical school? Someone should tell them.
  20. You migh wan o loo a he pos he quoed in which he highlighed he word schick. 🙃
  21. Texas 50-10 WRR 300
  22. It’s good throwing but it wobbles, and the balls get in the wrong places
  23. Haha. I guess it could qualifiy by virtue of changing previously bad news in a way that subtracts some old bad (PCL, apparently good chance of complete PLC) that seems to outweigh new bad (I don't remember previous mention of ACL).
  24. In a way, it seems better for us if this company is an aggy NIL donor. Some of their sport dollars will be redirected to us.
