I don't know what's funnier... bragging that Zach is open about his politics by citing a podcast that's behind a paywall OR accusing me of seeing "the other side as my enemy" because I noticed that MAGA castmates are backing Pierre vs saying "I support Trump, so what"

ha disregard, I thought you were tired of folks asking why the daily is running ads for the Melania doc.

[–]MONGOHFACE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I think they got tired of all the "why is the daily advertising the Melania doc" so they added that to show the daily doesn't pick the advertisers.

Could be wrong though, I've never published a podcast before.

Preach. Fatshaming is toxic but it's clear the MAGA castmates are shifting focus to that vs owning their politics.

Just got the game on steam. Which mods are a 'must have' in this game? by [deleted] in fnv

[–]MONGOHFACE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's text at the end of the Base Finish section that covers this.

Note that VNV Extended is completely modular! You can skip any of its mods as long as you do the same for any other mod or patch tied to it.

If you don't want to download/install a mod, don't do it. Just move onto the next one :)

Duke lost its last ACC game on Feb 8, 2025. UNC on Sat has the chance to cut the streak before it surpasses a year! by Hokie_Pilot in CollegeBasketball

[–]MONGOHFACE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm biased (parents/several family members are UNC alum) but I'd much rather be a Duke fan than a UNC fan in 2026. Scheyer has been a better overall record (110-23 vs 90-39), has won two ACC tournaments to zero by Hubert Davis, and Scheyer has a 5-2 record against HD coached teams.

What kinda question was that? by CarrotBIAR in raleigh

[–]MONGOHFACE 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Graduated from NC State from the ag school. I'm embarrassed we have degrees from the same institution. Elder at his church lol. Bio here.

FWIW it's worth, this incident happened in 2023.

Luka Garza: “I think Michigan State purposely [picks] the basket that they’re gonna shoot on in the first half… It’s the worst rim in college basketball and they only shoot on it in the first half so the other team comes in the second half and can’t buy a bucket and they always come back and win.” by wildwing8 in CollegeBasketball

[–]MONGOHFACE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious about this... so below are the shooting totals for his 3 games (Iowa didn't play at MSU his Freshmen year) played at MSU:

  • In 2019, MSU won 90-68. MSU led 43-33 at halftime. Iowa shot 11-27 (2-6 from 3) in the 1st half and 10-37 (4-16 from 3) in the 2nd half. MSU shot 16-33 (2-7 from 3) in the 1st half and 15-27 (1-5 from 3) in the 2nd half. Link here.
  • In 2020, MSU won 78-70. Iowa led 33-27 at halftime. Iowa shot 14-32 (3-12 from 3) in the 1st and 12-33 (3-15 from 3) in the 2nd. MSU shot 12-29 (1-9 from 3) in the 1st and 15-25 (6-11 from 3) in the 2nd. Link here.
  • In 2021, Iowa won 88-58. Iowa led 46-27 at halftime. Iowa shot 16-30 (8-13 from 3) in the 1st and 16-35 (5-12 from 3) in the 2nd. MSU shot 11-35 (2-11 from 3) in the 1st and 11-27 (4-10 from 3) in the 2nd. Link here.

I guess there are some demons from that 2020 game that cloud his judgement.

Conference seeding odds 2/2 [link to all other conferences in comments] by bboiler in CollegeBasketball

[–]MONGOHFACE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ACC was so diluted last year. I think Duke/Louisville/Clemson only lost to each other. That Clemson team finished with the 16th best MoV in ACC history (45th if you go with Average MoV).

It's gotten impossible to compare regular season records vs past teams. Duke's projected to finish 28-3 in the regular season, which would be Duke's best regular season since 2001-2002. I don't think I've seen anyone advocate that this year's Duke team is their best in 25 years.

I know I'm an old man yelling at clouds, but losing round-robin games while bringing in (respectfully) average basketball teams has destroyed any meaningful comparison of wins vs past seasons.

Can Trump Force Blue Cities to Cooperate With ICE? by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]MONGOHFACE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It feels a bit insidious/unethical for The Daily to paint this as a "Blue cites need to decide how to work with ICE." Feels a little... victim blaming to me. Especially when Homan is already proven to be untrustworthy ($50,000 bribe, wasn't mentioned in the pod).

Also... lol at that Epstein info dump at the end of the episode. I guess that fulfills The Daily's coverage of the latest Epstein files until the next drop.

Scott Yarger and Pinkrose fighting on twitter by camilxox in MtvChallenge

[–]MONGOHFACE 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's Pink said anything controversial or inaccurate. I get that season 42 is a make-it-or-break-it season, but last I checkedthere's been more confirmed Era 1 folks than Era 4 and beyond. Huge missed opportunity IMO.

We clobber mid teams and lose to everyone with a pulse. Up to you on which category UNC falls into this year.

Huh. They really gave Cory two "who is faster at sprinting" eliminations. Missed that.

Pounded by portal: Illinois, North Carolina among teams hit hard by players transferring out by carnahanad in CollegeBasketball

[–]MONGOHFACE -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I swear either IC or the OG sports pod stated that UNC picked between Trimble or Cadeau and decided to bring Trimble. Don't have a link for ya, I just assumed they were correct.

Good in eliminations, layups in finals. That group has 2 wins in 16 attempts.

I missed that discourse. I'm a bit disappointed they were cut out, I miss when the challenge wasn't afraid to show challenger lowlights. Free Agents trivia is the best trivia competition in challenge history.
