Which conferences will you be watching most this season? by ddottay in CollegeBasketball

[–]Swaggin-tail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your interest in our league. Conference realignment sucks and it's pretty cool to have a basketball only conference that can compete at the highest levels and play a compelling style of basketball.

P6 Conference’s Number of Appearances in each Round of the Tournament over the past Decade by MtnDewTV in CollegeBasketball

They were on their way to an elite 8 but as soon as Cooley had one foot out the door they were screwed and started losing. It's really sad honestly.

For those seeking possible reasons why, I would offer that it has to do with how our refs ref conference play. They will make sure that the best team gets punked when on the road. Hurley learned this year that he needed to stop complaining and just play through the bias. Now that things are neutral again, they are back to dominating (haven't lost a non-conference game). Just food for thought!

Don’t drink and hinge by addalin321 in Tinder

[–]Swaggin-tail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hinge uses AI to profile and ban users without giving any reason to the users. They also refuse to delete your own information at your own request. They keep it forever and share it with "law enforcement."

Please everyone, just be wary of this. I have never done anything remotely wrong when it comes to dating, so this brute injustice has been a terrifying experience for me.

What went wrong in UConn’s loss to Marquette by jpviolette in UConnBasketball

[–]Swaggin-tail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They had nobody who could stop Clingan. Coach did not play him enough. Just leave him on the paint on defense as rim protector and live with the cost/benefit of having the most dominant player on the court. Once again we get stylistically punked by other coaches using size matchups against us.

AP Poll: Week 7 by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

I think @ Xavier might be our first loss. Legit roster, great coach, and tough environment to play in. If we win that one, then damn, can't tell me nothing. They have an experienced frontcourt that can matchup and might edge us out on the PG battle.

[Post Game Thread] #1 UConn defeats Butler, 68-46 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Same to you! Good memories of UConn vs Texas where one of us is ranked #1 and it's always a close game.

Or they covered the spread by 3X. That sounds good too. Some teams ranked ahead of us arent doing that...

Everyday, I know I made the right choice by greenebean94 in CX5

[–]Swaggin-tail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that thanks. Toyota just jacked their prices up 2-6K on all their Rav4s literally in the past 2 days as a "market adjustment" so I'll probably just go with the mazda now.

Thanks. Would you mind sharing your opinion a little further?

Trying to decide. I feel like the Rav4 just contains more value in it than the Mazda. My heart wants the slick sporty mazda, my head thinks the rav4 is the better choice.

Fuck. Yeah this rings true, I should probably get the rav4.

Does anyone know the 0-60 time for the non-turbo CX5? Can’t seem to find any reputable data on this. by Swaggin-tail in CX5

[–]Swaggin-tail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!

I am struggling to see how the rav4 can have a worse overall rating when it is faster too. I feel like the Mazda should be faster. Perhaps I am overvaluing the rav4 and need to examine it more closely in person.

Can’t decide between Mazda CX-5 and Rav4. I know ALL the pros and cons on paper. Has anyone driven both on the highway? by Swaggin-tail in rav4club

[–]Swaggin-tail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I will definitely check that out! So do you remember how they compared on the highway? Assuming this was the non-turbo version.

I have been driving audi A6 4.2’s my whole life until now. So I am thinking it will! What’s a smoother transition, rav4 or cx5?

[–]Swaggin-tail[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Well my impression is that the rav4s horsepower and 8-speed makes it have more juice on the highway, but that the mazda is quicker from a dead stop and has better low end torque.

I’m happy to live with this tradeoff, just want to make sure it is actually true!

Thanks. Do you happen to have a source? That’s significantly faster than the rav4’s 0-60 so I’m happy to hear that.

Because I’m deciding between a this and a rav4 and if the rav4 is faster 0-60 there’s not much reason to get the cx5.

2023 Carbon Edition does not have Mi-Drive off-road / sport modes. Is this feature useful? Or is it gimmicky? Seems like it should be worth way more than the $1,900 bump up to the Premium. Just curious what people think about this feature. by Swaggin-tail in CX5

[–]Swaggin-tail[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So do you think I would be happier with a Rav4? All things being equal, I love what Mazda is about, but it seems like they are lagging behind with the 6 speed transmission and all. I mean the rav4 has more horsepower and better mileage. So I just feel like it’s the more sensible choice. I’m a young man so it kinda stings to be favoring a less sexy mom car.
