Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Dutchrudder replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
It's crazy for the #16 ranked team to beat the #3 team by 10 points and then only move up 2 spots while they move down to #7. Both should have moved more spots. -
This really does beg the question of "what does the playoff committee do with Ole Miss?" Either they keep them in as an easy speed bump of an opponent for a favorite big name school that kinda sucks (Notre Dame) Or They kick them to the curb and leave them out all together, which allows a team like Texas/Bama/Miami to sneak in. It wouldn't be unprecedented with the way they treated Florida State in the past, but it would make for much better football games.

Well, at least they didn't lose to the Colts.

Don't think we have the linemen for the Tush Push strategy. Probably shouldn't do that again.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I think it's really shitty that coaches can leave and be hired while the season is still in progress. Ole Miss will almost certainly have a playoff spot, but will not be near 100% without Kiffin, and with the way the portal works, his players will be distracted by recruiting and figuring out where to go next year instead of the game ahead. It's also extremely unfair to the players and fans that outside forces derail a great season. It's not the school's fault, because this is how the business is, but it would be nice if the NCAA put in a hiring moratorium for all schools until 2 days after the championship game is played. A freeze on recruiting too, and spare the portal transfers and announcements until then as well. The NFL has a similar deal where teams still active in the playoffs cannot have staff poached until they lose in order to maintain continuity and focus on quality games.

It would be funny if some new Wendy's food accidentally killed her or something. Need more Mike in the next season. The daughter and his interactions were cute. She supported him, no matter how crazy things got. You know how kids can be like that and think the world of their parents before that trust is used up or shattered. One thing this show did really well was making an odd cast of characters and using people that play small roles. There were so many random encounters with people we never see again, but they add to the mystery and keep you guessing because some of them do come back. It also builds that small town feeling of oddballs. I enjoyed all the random encounters, never knowing if any of them would amount to anything. I never thought after the first episode that the guy who unbuttoned his shirt to run away would be seen again, but now they are best friends. I figure the next big mystery could involve his former employer. That way they could bring back LDP, Douglas, etc and work some angle there. Maybe the changes to the plans went poorly and the mall never got finished. Maybe Ron keeps trying to find another way to expose the Tecca conspiracy. Plenty to work with.

I don't have a clue where a season 2 would go after all that. So he solved the mystery, but can't go through with it because he loves his wife too much. So weird. Kind of a funny show, but no where near as good as ITYSL or even Detroiters.

It may be frowned upon, but yeah beating them in the road with various melee instruments would make the game inside the stadium much easier.

I think it reads that the Sox are taking on a 1 year 31m deal + either a 10m buyout or another mutual year at 30m. That's 41 million minimum for 1 year? Seems a bit too pricey for a 4.28 ERA to me. But maybe he will have a big year with a new club that doesn't suck. JV is just for fun to me. I figured this would be his last year and he would retire with the Astros who he won 2 rings and 4 pennants. Yeah he's like a 5-6th rotation guy, but he's a big name and probably worth signing just for tickets and merch sales. Hopefully a gesture like that would mean he goes into the Hall with an Astros cap instead of a Tigers. Not sure how that is decided, but it is something to consider as a club.

He's pretty expensive for a 36 year old, look what the Red Sox wound up with. Plus we probably have JV coming back for one last hurrah for like 10m. "Gray, 36, waived his no-trade clause to leave the Cardinals. The three-time All-Star went 14-8 with a 4.28 ERA last season while not missing a start for St. Louis. He had been guaranteed $40 million for the next two seasons: $35 million for 2026 and a $5 million buyout of a $30 million team option for 2027. His contract was changed to guarantee him $41 million: a $31 million salary for next year and a $30 million mutual option for 2027 with a $10 million buyout."

Should probably check the country of origin on the account she's talking with. I wouldn't put it past the French to make up a fictional character in the government that's sending her fake information to see how easily she laps it up without verification. Then present the fake info in court to prove she has no integrity or intelligence and win a huge defamation lawsuit to bankrupt her. 4d chess. -
I watched it the other night and enjoyed it. It's more clever and witty than laugh-out-loud humor, but worth a watch. Some of the relationship discussions felt pretty realistic and sad, but the movie did well walking that line between humor and their marital problems. I thought it was funny that the name of the restaurant was so similar to the pet store in Dumb and Dumber. Kate McKinnon wasn't in it a whole lot, but what's with her being some one-note weirdo sex pest character in every movie now? I feel like every time I see her, she's constantly hitting on someone inappropriately and making crude comments. Not that there's anything wrong with that as a character, but it's all she does. It's odd because she had a real range of characters on SNL, and I thought she would do more. I looked up the house that Theo built, and sadly it's not a real home. They built it as a set for the movie, but the style and design were very intentional. I found this article that highlights the details and choices for the architecture. The corkscrew shaped wine cellar was an interesting choice. Just an absolutely beautiful home and set, I think it will get an Oscar nom for that. https://fredericmagazine.com/2025/08/screening-room-the-roses/ The dinner scene at the end was hilarious. The part where the other people try to do the mean 'banter' reminded me of this ITYSL sketch:

No way would the Rangers trade him to Houston, or anyone else in the division. They sent him to the NL for a reason.

When they got it to 1, need to let Denver inbound and foul immediately for 2 FTs. Might have had a shot to tie it if there were 4-5 seconds on the clock instead of 2. -
