  1. those kids arent going hungry thats guaranteed
  2. It has a shot at TTU and Oregon. Its body of work and their body work says it would be the disfavored team, and that it does not deserve a shot. TTU has run roughshod over everyone, with 2 convincing ranked wins, and just 1 squeaker loss on the road. The season's results says it is closer to #1 than Texas is. So it would be a bigger travesty if , for example, TTU lands at #5 and is excluded from a 4-team playoff and a crack at the NCG than Texas landing at #13 and is excluded from its shot. I'm a Texas fan but have to be objective too. We're fighting for scraps here.
  3. This is conditional on 2 things that have not been true for half of the season, Arch playing Elite and the Defense playing elite. The defense allowed 38 by MissSt and for Arkansas to almost do what they wanted. We're also changing the original agreement: that qualification is based on the season's body of work. It's never been "what team is hottest" or "what team could win when playing at their best". Otherwise we'll have to allow Tennessee, Michigan, Utah, etc in the picture.
  4. There's a sort of re-framing fallacy that comes up often in sports discussion. None of this matters because Texas isn't winning the championship. The playoffs isn't the goal. The championship is. Arbitrarily cutting playoff qualification to #12 is required for matter of practicality. The historical and predictive chances of these late-entrants actually winning the championship is basically zero. All this scheduling and perceived strength (=ranking) handwringing is moot. It mattered in the BCS and 4-team era, where being #2 vs #5 means a tons. Being #12 vs #15 doesn't change shit. If Texas had scheduled a cupcake instead of OSU, but still lost to Florida and Georgia, while squeaking by Kentucky/MSU/Vanderbilt, it would meaningfully change the strength the team or its championship hopes. This hypothetical Texas team would lose to TTU/Ore in Round 1, and get assblasted by the T4 in the quarterfinals.

    2025 Christmas

    wife and i decided we wanted to explore the landscape of flavors of rum flavors - our new favorite sips - through 2025 xmas “gifting”. basically a flimsy pretense to restock the liquor cabinet.
  8. Is time to join the future.
  9. We're prepping our house for a sale and fixing all of the little bugs so that it presents perfectly. Things like sagging door / sticky door frames, recaulking some tiles and such. Knocked it all out of the way over the last weekend and it was so goddamn easy and fast I just kinda wonder why I was so lazy to tackle it earlier when we were using the goddamn house.
  10. this thread reads like an M Night Shima movie.
  11. Fucking hate Ring. I did not realize the extent to which the device is just a platform to upsell on endless subscriptions and accessories. It seems every other functionality is locked behind tiers and there's constantly prodding on the app and through emails to buy new Ring shit. I don't care at all for monitoring the house while away. I just wanted to see who's ringing the door. Thinking about putting in a vanilla security camera above the door and just whipping out to view the footage on-demand.
  12. That sounds awesome, actually. When my siblings and cousins became parents ourselves, we really started to appreciate huge family gettogethers.
  13. order of average salaries in the NFL: LT >> QB > ILB ~= OLB > EDGE ~= DE > OG ~= DT > C > WR...
