  1. Refs f#&%ed us on that too, said it was a forward pass when it was not.
  2. The chart is the way, the truth, and the life. All hail the chart.
  3. Yeah, you've got me confused with someone else, who I was sarcastically poking fun at with my post.
  4. jeez why is everybody so obsessed with this guy?
  5. Every once in a while someone comes along that is awful enough and influential enough that begs anyone decent to actively stand against. And then alongside those folks are a bunch of virtue signaling opportunists desperate to pat themselves on the back.
  6. I'll take the wager. Loser has to have an iowa avatar with a bunch of hearts for a month.
  7. I certainly don't like it, but at the end of the day, bowl games were originally created to be exhibitions and nothing more.
  8. Have you considered the idea that blue people moving away can make an area more red and there's no need to ponder in terms of adding new voters.
  9. What universe does that guy live in?
  10. I'm still yet to see him throw a slant or swing route but f#&% it who cares, not like we've ever had a player perceived like this ever.
  11. I think this is a classic case of clout chasing, but I'm open to being proven wrong.
  12. I've definitely experienced this plenty and lived it myself, and on the flip side of this experience I can't explain how liberating it feels to start living out a reality where you host and don't always have to do that. I spend a *lot* of time in and fostering community and am really fortunate to have a wide and rich network of people all over Atlanta that feel like an extended family of ~100 or so folks in the art community that are all relatively tight knit. Our house is one that people have come to expect as being one of the main big gathering places for parties, events, etc., and a year or two ago we started doing an open door, self hosting policy every Sunday. Essentially just telling people we'll be home, have no plan, and would love for people to drop in whenever they feel like and do whatever they want, whether that be hang with us or just read a book or paint or watch tv or whatever. We usually all end up hanging out together anyways, but we make very little effort towards putting a best foot forward and it feels so nice.
  13. He looked good when he was healthy. Unfortunately, he tore his throwing elbow in week 3 (I think) and had to hobble through the rest of the season and did it quietly and with dignity and class.

    NFL 2023

    It's the right call, no doubt. And not in defense of Mahomes, but just as a general annoyance, that same call gets missed multiple times per game in every game on both offenses and defenses.
  15. You've never played in a club, intramural or recreational league before?
  16. We could start with an easy one. Could be his parents told him he could only do one of the two for financial reasons - this was the case for me in middle school. Or even not bothering to try and offer interpretations, but just refuting the 'proof' that it's a lie which is the delaware history of high school lacrosse... recreational and out-of-school club leagues for sports are a thing.
  17. There are all sorts of ways that you can interpret this that don't immediately jump to "he's lying".
  18. Saira Rao is one of the wildest twitter accounts. I follow her solely because she's deluded and insane enough that she almost reads like an actual parody account.
  19. Suh wasn't part of the 2010 team, but actually was the breakout leader on defense Ganz' senior year.
  20. That's part of it for some (I'm much less conspiratorial), but for me it's more that the committee operates in a closed room without any transparency or accountability to any actual metrics. The BCS was better than the current solution which is a room of people just chatting and making decisions based on their feelings and opinions. I don't know why we ever went to a committee in the first place - the only problem with the BCS was that there wasn't a playoff, but of course we overcorrected with adding a playoff and a committee and then overcorrected again by going to 12 next year instead of the 8 we should've been at all this time.
  21. @Guy Chamberlin, sorry but I'm calling absolute bulls#!t on the committee's propaganda piece. There are all sorts of ways to expose how inane this is, but here's a couple. One - if the argument is ranking the best teams off of nebulous 'belief', then FSU at #5 makes absolutely zero sense. Consistency there would put them below Georgia, Ohio State and Oregon, who would all be favored. Two - taking all their PR spin at face value this week exposes their inconsistency in their own logic the week prior when FSU was still #4 even though the same evaluation should have taken place according to the "...section in the committee's protocol that specifically refers to the "unavailability of key players ... that may have affected a team's performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance." Their ambiguous "make it up as we go" criteria for evaluating is unfathomably unjust. "Who we think is better" is no actual way to primarily rank teams, as evidenced by Oregon being a Vegas and a fan/media/coaches favorite over Washington both times they played. It also begs the question of how Alabama is suddenly viewed as one of the best 4 teams based off no actual metrics but just 'vibes', when they struggled against more than one terrible opponent, and their only big accomplishment is squeezing by Georgia who has looked vulnerable all year and was clearly only #1 due to the poll and reputational momentum of years' previous (similar to 2014 FSU).
  22. The system should have worked perfectly this year There were 5 power 5 champions. 3 were undefeated. The other two had the same record and a head to head matchup for a tiebreaker This couldn't have been any simpler.
