Yeah - that's funny. I think we've brought it up here, before: "Show up 30 minutes early for your 11:00 appt." Just make my appt. for 10:30, then!!! Okay, but I have a new pet peeve: confusing dollars and cents. Like in this picture: 0.27 cents is not the same as 0.27 dollars. At 0.27 cents...

Difference between Big Ten and SEC is illustrated starting around 3:50 into this video. They start talking about a possibility of a 5th SEC team to get into the playoff, and then it goes into a discussion of which conference will get more teams in. My thoughts: 1. I don't care how many Big Ten...

Let's call this Part 1 of the plan. I'd like Part 2 to be "Keep throwing it until we have 120 on the scoreboard". And Part 3 should be tip over the team buses and make them walk home.

Ha - you are not wrong about whether the cheaters suck. But I said you can't use an if/then statement in an argument if the "if" part is false. I'm not saying that it make the argument wrong, but that it makes the whole argument worthless because the you can't make the "if" part true. (Yes, I...

Your article says 7:30. This one says 8:00. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/ohio-state-breaks-tradition/ar-AA1PK0AZ?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=690a9ac1871f4b4f93d0bbebd018529d&ei=9 I'd more likely believe your article over msn. Ha - never mind. In the msn article there's a link to an X...

I think if they ran this model 20 more years, last year would stand out as an anomoly. 1 was boned when Ohio State lost to the cheaters and fell to #6 (and to a #8 seed). 2 was boned when they lost their quarterback. 3 was boned because they're Boise State. 4 was boned because they're Arizona...

Laughable? Who should have been the 4th SEC team? Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee got in with 2 losses each. Texas's second loss was in the conference championship game. Missouri and Ole Miss each had 3 losses. Alabama had 3 losses. And who do you replace? Oregon, Clemson, Boise, and Arizona...

I'm as much of a football nerd as I want to be. Is it strange that he blew by a defender who lined up 12-15 yards upfield?

It should have worked out. They didn't count on the best team being an 8-seed. Note that I strategically used the word "theoretically".

Didn't Alabama claim one despite losing 3-4 games?

Agreed. The only time I saw a worse "targeting" call get picked up was MHJ against Georgia.

Number 1 theoretically plays the easiest 2nd round game. And, if all lower-seeded teams win, has the easiest path to the championship game. They'd play #8, #4, then the championship against #2. They might also get to "choose" which bowl game to play in (from the list of choices) for each round...

Their message boards seem to all be paid services. Boof.

Your point is valid. They aren't always the fruit basket in the hot tub. But, as of a few years ago, Purdue had the best record against Ohio State of all Big Ten teams. I won't ever mark them as an easy win. Yeah. We lit Iowa up pretty good. I had some function with my wife's family and group...

That wasn't my intent. They'd absolutely resort to shit like that. Maybe I skipped some steps. Yeah - "We were just driving our cart and the starting QB just ran out of nowhere. We couldn't avoid him!" I'd fully expect some kind of hit-job like 2013, too.
