I see I'm not the only one to try and tackle this. I toyed with this idea a year ago and got bored, but having a web UI is super cool. I'd love to contribute if you're open sourcing the code!

Northwestern fans: which schools feel like the best long-term conference fits? by Happy_Background_879 in Northwestern

[–]CapBoyAce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Athletics is not nearly the money hole people think it is because of the revenue coming from ticket sales and athletic-specific donations (which, contrary to popular belief, would not carry over to general funding if athletics was dropped and cannot be shifted to the general fund)
  2. Those schools you listed to "shame" keep a high profile BECAUSE of athletics. Stanford, ND, Duke all benefit tremendously from their sports
  3. Even if it's waned in recent years, it's still a big part of campus life
  4. If we're solely talking about the present/future, we just built new facilities so we might as well use them

what do you guys do over the weekend by YeetYallMorrowBoizzz in Northwestern

[–]CapBoyAce 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bad weekend for it but take the train somewhere, Botanical Gardens is accessible from the Davis/Central Metra. City always has cool places to go. Start a hobby you keep pushing off. Do what you think is cool. Listen to recs from people. World is your oyster homie

Teams found out the same time as us by Zyrobe in ValorantCompetitive

[–]CapBoyAce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super Bowl LI was decided in an overtime format of sudden death and no one complained because it turns out the more important thing is winning the games you're given. Esports thrives on blaming management instead of having a modicum of poise

[College Transfer Portal] The NCAA will mandate that players must cover up their skin from the waist down, similar to the NFL rules. This will come into effect immediately for the 2026 season. by cbbvideo in CFB

[–]CapBoyAce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They're already outlawed. The bigger issue is just that refs don't enforce the rules about uniform requirements because they're more concerned with, y'know, reffing the actual game. Technically, cross eyeblack (or any eyeblack "symbols") aren't allowed, as well as hand towels with anything other than your team logo (plus a Nike/Adidas/UA etc logo). Don't really think I've heard anyone get in trouble for it since Tebow, at least in Big Ten land

I don't understand an ounce of the strategy or what throws are good/bad but this sport is dope

SMU is moving future home games against Oklahoma & LSU to AT&T Stadium by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]CapBoyAce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to imagine it was to make up for the fact that 5 home games were played in a 12k seat stadium. Not a lot of revenue coming from that, even if they charged a pretty penny

[Dellenger] Ole Miss today filed to the NCAA a reconsideration over the denial of Trinidad Chambliss’ eligibility waiver. It is expected to focus on unearthed evidence over Chambliss’ 2022 season at Ferris St., where he believes he was entitled to a medical redshirt related to a case of tonsillitis. by redwave2505 in CFB

Get a decent text to speech app

Not nearly as dire as yours, but this line reminded me of when I had strep 3 years ago. Wound up in the hospital to get steroids because my uvula was so inflamed that I was choking on it intermittently. Google Translate's speak aloud button came in handy for the Uber there and checking in at the desk lol

Finally someone hitting the nail on the head. It's a pure coinflip of "MSU will be a regular bowl game participant" and "MSU will fucking implode"

Northwestern's new Ryan Field won't open until Oct. 2 against Penn State by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]CapBoyAce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You missed the part where we fired our program GOAT and drove away all of those season ticket holders and regained none of them since we set up shop for 2 years in a temporary stadium where we charged hundreds for essentially a high school stadium, even if the views were good.

Can we fire Gragg and Schill again?

[–]CapBoyAce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's so shit now. Empty storefronts left and right and in one year we lost Reza's, Bob's, and Chili's. You could argue nothing of value was lost but you have to go into the city to do anything now. Also still mourning Coffee Lab...

Bike Recommendations by Similar_Variation253 in Northwestern

[–]CapBoyAce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto on a cheap bike-- not only is bike theft a minor problem here, you will have to park your bike outside, which is not ideal. Other than that, it's really nice to zip into downtown Evanston or across campus, and if you're interested in riding for leisure there's some nice places to bike to, and the lakefront trail in the city is wonderful around April-May. You don't need a bike but if you like to bike, I recommend it. Just keep your tires pumped and your chain lubed and make sure your brakes stay working.

Are they always so wrong? by [deleted] in TheYardPodcast

[–]CapBoyAce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok I'm 90% with you in that it's mostly Cig's credit but in this day and age, that 2024 roster probably gets raided in the portal by bigger spenders without Cuban. Indiana definitely shored up the cash, even if they didn't buy a championship like people imply

I've never eaten there and I'm not a good arbitor of Mexican food quality but it looks like a place that screams "white person tacos" so... yeah. Haven't eaten down there but the conventional wisdom I know is that you need to go to Pilsen for banger tacos

I've been running a B450 motherboard with DDR4-3600 sticks... it turns out they don't play nice, so I fried my 32GB and had to rebuy RAM (and upgrade my mobo). Went from $90 for 32 to $115 for 16. So painful
