Have you been to all of the NY6 bowl games?

Fiesta (Glendale), Rose for the Buckeyes

Peach (old stadium in ATL) when it was a second tier kind of Bowl but not for Buckeyes.

The only Bowl I’d likely travel to again is Rose. The rest are all just meh. Glendale in particular can go fuck itself back to the hell it is a portal to. It’s fucking cursed.
Glendale is the Ross-Ade of the west. They both have GOT TO BE mass burial grounds of some sort.

Who would have won in 1997: MeCheatAgain vs Nebraska?

I don’t know where you got this idea, but Brian Bosworth was suspended for the 1987 Orange Bowl due to a positive steroid test

Just sayin': Good catch, my mistake......

I do appreciate people pointing out my errors. 1) maybe I won't make the same mistake again, and 2) shows I'm not wasting my time posting as someone is actually reading my posts.... :biggrin:


The NCAA passed legislation banning the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances in 1973, according to NCAA director of sports sciences Frank Uryasz. Uryasz said the ban included steroids, though it didn't single them out specifically.
  • Initial Ban: The NCAA passed legislation in 1973 that banned the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances, which included anabolic steroids.
  • No Enforcement: However, this initial ban was largely unenforceable as there was no drug testing program in place until 1986.
  • Drug Testing Program: The NCAA started its drug-testing program in 1986, making the steroid ban more concrete as athletes could now be tested and penalized for violations.

DL Kenny Peterson (All B1G, National Champion)

Not a smart move, especially considering that Peterson's former teammate, Will Smith, was shot to death in a road rage incident. Small guns can easily take down large men ... and you never know who's carrying.
This. CCW's are everywhere. Hell Kenny could have been packing. The balls to spit at a large black male.

TLDR; we suck as a species.

Star Wars (May the Force be with you)

I still have to watch the last one (episode 12) tonight, and there are a lot of story arcs to try and tie up in 42 minutes or so, so I'm interested to see how that all turns out and how it leads into Rogue One, which I'll probably watch again this weekend.

They really made some interesting decisions in this season, and in general. One is the rise of LH's prominence as the prime (young, besides Mon Mothma) female character...in season 1, it was really Vel, but she's been reduced to a bit part this season, other than tying up her love story with Cinta. I really like LH obviously, I think everyone does, and I hope her career takes off after this series. I like the actress who plays Vel too, I've seen her in plenty of other stuff, so I was a bit disappointed we didn't get more from her in S2. The rant she had against the French frat boy didn't really lead anywhere either, which I thought was too bad...they could have done more with that.

Andor has been back, but still isn't the primary focus of any of season 2. It's been Mon...and Syrill...and Meero...and LH/Luthen. Even Krennic at times. But not him. Which has been OK, except for the fact I thought he was wasted in the weakest (and probably only) terrible arc in season 2, using the bunch of useless goofs to introduce Yavin. I assume he will play a big role in episode 12, as he will have to lead into Rogue 1.

I too would love a Saw Guerrera series, but I don't know that Disney will ever be willing to push a drug-addled murdering anarchist as the lead character in a series. I think he's probably by far the most interesting though. He, the Mandalorian Armoress, Thrawn...some characters just leave you wanting more.

Dallas Mavericks (2011 NBA Champions)

Sources: Mavericks plan to draft Cooper Flagg, won't trade No. 1 pick

After making the biggest leap in NBA draft lottery history to land the No. 1 overall pick, the Dallas Mavericks plan to select Duke forward Cooper Flagg and will not entertain the possibility of trading away the pick for a proven superstar, sources told ESPN.

The Mavs had only a 1.8% chance of winning the lottery after being eliminated in the Western Conference's final play-in game to end a tumultuous, injury-ravaged season.
