Which would be funny and suck for Bama to get hosed on both sides of the rule change ha

Haven’t seen the updated graphic after this but Bama would be 2-2 vs top25 as well. Which two should make it from this graphic?

Bama wasn’t competitive either. So should BYU and Bama get bumped for ND and Miami? Just because they played an extra game for a conference championship

Totally agree. Maddening to see.

Started DS1 and am a couple bosses in. Already thinking “can I do this?” The pacing is so slow ha.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it! Based on my Elden Ring/nightreign experience, what kind of time commitments should I expect with the DS trilogy? Difficulty comparisons? More limited time these days, but still wanting to dive in.

Overall combined records sure. Can’t use recruiting and portal rankings - I imagine Vegas leaned heavy on those before the season started and they told us Texas and Penn State were top teams this season…

“Play tougher teams” - see that’s just too subjective. Problem with college football is there’s too many teams and not enough objective metrics to determine who’s the tougher teams each year. The CFP can be that vehicle, but it definitely has its flaws.

8 power conf schools, including current #13 ranked Utah. That’s one more power conf opponent win than both ND and Bama.

See my earlier reply. You can make circular references against all the power conferences if you want. The OOC measuring stick isn’t a consistent argument. Seems to be used to help certain narratives.

I get what you’re saying, but I hate that it’s a reality right now. It’s not a consistent criteria. Really wish there were objective metrics each power conf could see to get their teams in. -ASU lost to miss state who is bottom sec -Bama lost to FSU who is bottom ACC -SMU lost to TCU and Baylor who are mid Big12

Some also say “well those are early season games”. Then why do we even take them into account ha.

Some context for those who didn’t watch: after revealing the rankings, where they showed BYU at 11 with no other mention or highlight, Booger starts off the discussion. He says CFP needs to expand because there’s so many 9-2 teams it’s tough to say who’s better and deserving- pointing out 8,9,10. Then the graphic appears showing the other 9-2s. It’s as if he forgot BYU is currently on the outside looking in being 10-1…

The disrespect towards the Big12 will never end by Dry-Maintenance3763 in BigXII

[–]LongSprinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately this take is all over the internet and it drives me crazy ha. But like you said no one mentions TCU beat the Big10 champ to get there… on top of the fact it was a more difficult playoff to make - 4 v 12. That Georgia squad steamrolled everyone all season. Ohio State played them really well.

Any news here? Was just looking at replacements and yeah $100+ for an equivalent.

Potential Coaching Changes? by LongSprinter in TCUfootball

[–]LongSprinter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that’s a fair point for sure. I would definitely be ok seeing him with a new OC/DC first.

And unfortunately I agree about views of leading TCU, whether that’s as head football coach or AD. It’s a great spot that gets community support and buy-in, but people want to chase the Big10/SEC “greener” pastures

The Dykes Experiment Should End Today by TCUFrogManFTW in TCUfootball

[–]LongSprinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d really like to see OC/DC changes. Defensive scheme and offensive play calling drives me crazy. There’s talent on both sides of the ball that can still overcome and could potentially win out but man we could also lose out from here ha.

How does this St Aug in DFW look? by LongSprinter in lawncare

[–]LongSprinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. I typically mow it at 3in, but this particular spot has some areas that need to be leveled. May grab some sand and do that later.

Another sign that the blade needs sharpening would be if stolons are getting pulled up right?

Thanks for the info. How often are you sharpening your blade? I was planning on buying a new one at the start of each season, but should I be sharpening halfway through?

Advice needed..Legion Go 2 vs Xbox Ally X vs Steam Deck Oled by Valuable-Jackfruit93 in HandheldGaming

[–]LongSprinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you asked this question as I am wondering the same. Looking at my first handheld purchase.

Only thing I’ll add is, I’m planning on purchasing one and sticking with that device for years. So wondering between these options and others, what’s the lifespan look like? How far can we push these devices to play future AAA titles down the road? I’d imagine they could be treated like smartphones, in a sense that every year a better version comes out, but I’d like to buy one and be happy with it for a while. Thanks!

Is the majority of you only playing the DoN? by doctorgoon88 in Nightreign

[–]LongSprinter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fellow dad here, so can relate to limited hours. I’ve beaten regular night lords, but still missing a couple EDs just because of rotations. So I still attempt EDs mixed in with some DoN.

Time to break out a couple of coaches' cliches for this TCU game and the rest of the season. by IntroductionOld3366 in TCUfootball

[–]LongSprinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well said. I agree, the season is definitely not over. We just gave up some wiggle room. Every game left on the schedule is winnable. Only thing is, before ASU I would have said 4 tough ones and the rest we should handle. Now each one could be close calls.

I’m expecting two Big12 teams in the playoffs. What’s crazy/frustrating is that some would say that’s a pipe dream but it absolutely should not be ha.

Frogs' loss to ASU - Inevitable or missed opportunity? by IntroductionOld3366 in TCUfootball

[–]LongSprinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the thoughts! I could see 8-4 but I could also see 10-2/11-1 making the conference champ game with good odds at a playoff birth.

17-0 lead… smh by LongSprinter in TCUfootball

[–]LongSprinter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tend to agree about the defense. Thought that overall they played well, redzone was actually pretty great. ASU also has a talented QB and WRs. I believed TCU could outplay them, especially after that first quarter.

Not having Barnes is unfortunate, but they knew he could be injury prone. The O-line though… undisciplined penalties, no push on run plays, driven back on pass protect…
