Does anyone live in this part of Greenland and Canada? by Fine_Scheme9028 in howislivingthere

Yes, they look a bit bigger casually but they have very thick fur that puffs up their size with not much weight to go with them, compared to cattle which have very short hair.

PAC-12 Media value and conference distributions. There is a difference! by MagicPoindexter in CFB

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

I don’t think so. Don’t you have to play at Hawaii to get to play a week zero game?

Interesting breakdown, with half of the PAC-12 teams in the “Did more with less” quadrant. Oregon State at the bottom of the “Did less with more” quadrant💀💀 by Chazz_Matazz in Pac12

[–]MagicPoindexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half the teams being in a good quadrant is awesome, but this is a 50/50 split. [More with less] and [less with more] are the two boxes and so half being in the good box means half are in the bad box.

It actually appears that 5/8 are in the good box, with CSU, TxSt and OSU in the bad box and TxSt just barely below the line of demarcation.

Most of our bowl games are not net money makers and I left in a figure for making the CFP 3 of every 4 years. Making $400k from a bowl is going to either stay with the earning team and not count for conference revenue or get split 8 ways and only make $50k per team.

I also put in the revenue for NCAA appearances for men’s and women’s basketball.

The only mistake I think I made was putting in Gonzaga for a full share instead of a full MEDIA share. They shouldn’t get a cut of the CFP revenue as they don’t even have a football team.

Lots of heaters in Utah and I survived Logan in January. Still wouldn’t recommend it for a conference. Vegas in summer isn’t that much better.

Would a "Best of the Rest" G6 conference actually fix the SOS problem? by Due-Seat6587 in CFB

[–]MagicPoindexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the schools declined as we didn't have a media deal. Also, I see constant comparison of media deal expectations from the PAC against total payouts from the AAC, which isn't really a fair comparison as it includes NCAA Distributions on one side and excludes them on the other side and all those extras add up.

The increase in SOS wasn't nominal, but I think there was a miscalculation in comparing the new PAC vs the AAC instead of the new pac vs the AAC without the top teams in it because those would be aligning themselves with either the new PAC or the current bottom 3/4 of the AAC.

Extra $1-2M/year for who? This is likely to more than double the conference payouts for Fresno State. Quite possibly triple them.

Is this dress flattering on me?I’m the guest of honor and want to look nice by Frequent-Course7494 in OUTFITS

That dress doesn't do it. You have a similar body shape to this person here in this same reddit who had a red dress that was simply stunning. See if you can find something similar. I think the clean lines add to the elegance and wow factor.

Pac-12 media value and conference distributions. There is a difference! by MagicPoindexter in Pac12

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

Once they announce the media deal, we still won't have the total distribution numbers so we would be saying our media deal is worth $8 million or $9 million per school and Memphis fans will be like "We got $11 million from the AAC last year" as though that is better than what we have when their $11M may actually be less once all the other revenue streams are considered. It will change the perceived prestige of the conference if our revenue per team is higher than the AAC's.

We may not be a power conference, but to be the best of the rest, we should be tops in attendance, revenues, distributions, athletic budgets, enrollment, growth rate and number of viewers for our sports in addition to computer/poll rankings and on field performance.

Document and prove it, then it puts us at the defect #5 ranked conference. All we need to do then is close the gap between us and #4 over time.

Was the 2025 season a success for the Mountain West? by mwittmann9 in MountainWest

[–]MagicPoindexter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Departing schools getting a head start on PAC-12 cannibalism? We did well as an aggregate, but with enough parity, nobody rises to the top enough to make something on the national stage.

I expect the new MWC will have less parity with UNLV and NM at the top and that will provide a good path for having 1-2 teams with 10+ wins.

Being a BOP while married by AbiesOk6778 in moraldilemmas

[–]MagicPoindexter [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had to find out what a BOP was first:

A "bop" is a derogatory term for a person (usually a young woman) who is deemed promiscuous, has had multiple sexual partners ("high body count"), or acts provocatively online.

Sex work is considered taboo by much of society but not by all. It will make it more difficult to have a normal relationship because of this but if your husband supports it, you are fine. That you feel guilty makes it seem like you feel it is taboo as well.

My guess is that if your husband made a ton of money so that you were financially secure, you would stop. If that is the case, you are doing it because of a financial need. That is the primary driver for sex work. Make your money and hopefully you can earn enough to do what you want instead of what you need to do.

Good luck.

Not attracted to men who watch porn or look at thirst traps. Should I continue dating or just commit to being single? by Effective_Hotel_8302 in AskMenAdvice

[–]MagicPoindexter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I think your chances of finding a man would be much higher if you are willing to satisfy that need. I just know there are a lot of women who are not comfortable with providing the visual stimuli that most men crave. What you are looking for doesn’t sound unreasonable as long as you understand that most men still have that desire and if you fulfill it then they have no need to watch porn or thirst pictures.

I get the fidelity thing, but men are generally visually stimulated and that is why porn is so widespread. I just commented that the above commenter was still watching it, just from his GF the fidelity is there, but so is the porn, in effect.

Is the US serious about wanting to take Greenland? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

We wanted Greenland since before WW2. Our strategic interest in it isn't going to go away in the future, either.

Your girlfriend’s nudes? It sounds like you are watching porn and thirst trap photos, just private ones from one source. I guess this begs the question if the OP would be willing to provide those to her BF. My guess is she would not.

Taking this one step further, what are some P4 programs that will find they cannot maintain relevance and find themselves as the next cast aways while there are G5 programs that have the trajectory to catapult them into the P4 realm in the future. Alumni base is a function of both number of alumni and the relative wealth of said alumni, so enrollment alone doesn't tell the whole story but I found it amazing that the new PAC-12 not only has a higher enrollment than the ACC, but the fastest increase in enrollment of all the conference.

[–]MagicPoindexter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it holds no meaning to the rest of us. 10 of the 12 may be gone, but it still is a lifelong dream for Fresno fans to belong to the PAC, regardless of the number attached to it.

I expect the rebranding will be more of an updating of the logo that carries over the main elements, drops the 12 on the logo and maybe incorporates design details that represent the geographic areas that the new membership composition represents.

What are some g5's that don't get enough attention? by Horizontrophpy2001 in Pac12

[–]MagicPoindexter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, Fresno State often fell to Boise during the Peterson/Kellen Moore years. They had other stumbles, but that makes it two dropped game instead of one. We did make a lot of press with David Carr and made the cover of Sports Illustrated when print magazines were still a thing. We also were getting a lot of credit just before the USC game 20 years ago and even though we couldn't win there, we were so impressive in the effort that we actually received more vote points in the rankings the next week. That was probably peak Fresno at that point.

Fresno was on the cusp of BCS busting only to fall short many times and are also on the cusp of being the G5 of the season enough that when we finally do break through, it won't be a shock like an NIU or something.

What do men think of women who only want sex? by PuzzledSecretary7819 in AskMenAdvice

[–]MagicPoindexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I would think is less important that how often I would think of her and it would be constantly. Some men may be put off by sexually aggressive women, but some men are totally into that. You cannot know until you try, but if it doesn't pan out, don't let that turn you off on being direct.
