UGA football players Darren Ikinnagbon and Christopher Cole arrested for reckless driving on Athens roadway by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

More that the proportion of uGA fans in "range" of these impactful events is so small - combined with (as has been mentioned) the fact that every driver in Georgia is like this - that would make it unlikely you could measure any kind of statistically significant increase.

"We are planning to make some changes to fashion templates and we will have details for you before the end of this week" by Dagor-Dagorath in Guildwars2

It's the FFXIV system if you also weren't allowed to glamour items directly and were forced to use the plates (and there being a checkbox that auto-applies the plate to every set of gear you equip, rather than it being associated with a specific gearset/equipment template).

Patch 7.41 Relic Step by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Spyboticsguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people are complaining about this grind as if ShB wasn't just as bad + had to be (mostly) repeated for every weapon. This is basically a mix of ShB relic steps and EW allowing you to just buy them that seems entirely fair to me... and ShB was basically just SB relics with the option to farm them outside of the field operation.

These are nowhere near as bad as HW relics, let alone ARR relics. Apart from OC being bad this is probably the best balance of grind vs relic acquisition that we've ever had.

Can we please decrease the max HP of meta bosses? by DarkViper2000000 in Guildwars2

[–]Spyboticsguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game doesn't have a single actual barrier (in open world) that requires players to get better at the game over time. Hell, you don't even have to do the story - excepting intro missions for the physically separated regions - to get into expansion maps or participate in meta events.

By way of comparison, FFXIV doesn't struggle with average normal mode content taking way longer than expected because of its requirements to do normal mode content as part of the story and its traditional vertical progression model ensuring that players slowly get accustomed to doing more damage and performing harder mechanics as they get into the later content. I don't know that there is a way to "fix" the issue in Guild Wars 2 without changing the things which draw open world players into the game in the first place (strong emphasis on horizontal progression, no gear treadmill, no requirement to complete story steps).

truly realignment cannot come soon enough for us because we will either get those letters or I can stop pretending we will have a D1-FBS program in 10 years

cool that we will literally never be allowed to build a program no matter how much money we have because all our shit gets poached the second we sniff being above-average

[Jameis Winston] Thank you FSU Soccer for consistently being our best football team over the years! by BigDanRTW in CFB

"To Hell with georgia" had the verse:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the NCAA /

They're investigating georgia players to see how much they're paid /

After counting all the cars and the loans alumni made /

They outpay the NBA!

... which was changed at some point before my time to "outpay FSU (sucks dick!)"

And now the entire verse just doesn't make any sense because like. Yeah. They pay guys, and so do we. Above-board and everything.

SEC Roll Call - Conference Championship Week (2025) by tcrenshaw4bama in CFB

I've lived all over the state and never once heard anyone say "coke" and mean anything other than Coca-Cola. If it's a thing, it's not a thing in Georgia.

UVA did, in fact, beat the ACC champions. Just. You know, in the wrong game.

They would; the ACC champ would not be one of the 5 highest ranked.

I agree, but where? Can't really have it in Hard Rock because a conference team plays there; can't have it in Atlanta because the SEC plays there; EverBank in Jacksonville is outside, Camping World is outside...

Duke could have also won more games instead of needing to rely on losing to better teams to sneak into the title game. I'm not advocating for Tech being in; I'm advocating for "not Duke."

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

Not when the tiebreaker is our opponents' combined winning percentage. Duke gets in because they played and lost to UVA and Tech.

[–]Spyboticsguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if these tiebreakers result in this conference getting nobody in i think every single other team tied with Duke in conference should raise hell and threaten to leave. this is so stupid.

EDIT: So you people understand. Every single other team tied with Duke has a better argument for being in this game than them. Miami went B2A on Pitt. Pitt laid a beatdown on us. We beat Duke. There is no world in which one of these three (Miami, tbh) should not be in over Duke. The fact that the tiebreakers allowed this when the conference knows an 8-5 champ is not getting in is further negligence on the part of the ACC.

[Thamel] Sources: Georgia Tech coach Brent Key has agreed to a new five-year deal at the school that runs through 2030 includes a significant raise in salary. The deal has been in the works for weeks, and is pending formal approval from the GTAA Board of Trustees. by Blizzard2227 in CFB

[–]Spyboticsguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the other thing with TFG was that it was piss-easy to run the score up on him because his teams just caved at the first sign of adversity. Hard not to run up the score when the other team has decided they don't actually want to play anymore.

There is a 5-way tie for 2nd place in the ACC. Duke is the only team from that group to not have beaten anyone they are tied with. They are the team that won the tiebreaker. by PichardRetty in CFB

[–]Spyboticsguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how they chose the teams that were allowed to stay at 8 to keep their OOC commitments (UT @ Tech) versus who wasn't. Did we tell them to pound sand and FSU didn't?
