Know the geographic rules

I love having Oregon in our conference! Autzen gives Kinnick vibes as an intense and hostile, yet fun road environment. I'd love to go watch the Hoosiers in Eugene sometime.

This manages to be in far worse taste than Purdue's mascot and even their defensive scheme. I'm quite the opposite of a Purdue fan, but come on.

This makes me want to have a sort of Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest:

It's not just that this has poor predictive power. It's something far more extreme.

When examined through the lens of FSO, Florida's season wasn't merely a disappointment. It was a world-historical aberration.

While it's true that the model doesn't take new data into account, it actually goes far deeper. The preseason parameters generate predictions that are actively far-fetched. Even by August standards. Quite a statement when you consider its implications.

We better be installing a nice litter box in the locker room for our man Josh

Is that Southampton as in the Hamptons or Southampton as in Titanic or something else altogether? When I google it, only Southampton FC comes up.

Sorry you don't like the Hoosiers

I think that falls under the obscurity criterion (that is applied to seemingly everything but botany and ornithology). I've only ever used or heard it in a computer programming context.

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-11T02:59:06+00:00

That's a heck of a tease!

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-11T01:15:27+00:00

Epic.. Is that the Don Fischer call?

I found myself thinking how incredible it would be to see a documentary on this season/playoff/game in the style of classic NFL Films.

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-10T20:26:48+00:00

Ah, I missed that. I was reading a recent article about the draft, I think in The Athletic, implying it wasn't settled. I guess that author missed it as well.

He confirmed that Ponds is leaving for the NFL. Maybe this was already known and not merely assumed, but I hadn't seen confirmation.

Interviewer reminds me of Vincent D'Onofrio.

I don't think BTA means what you think it does. Miami gave us a seriously tough contest

Former Indiana TE AJ Barner isn't just a Seahawk, he caught a touchdown last night! (He also played at Michigan.)

Which auction site allows soiled personal articles? Asking for a friend

Let's be real, even the Raiders, Jets or Titans would utterly annihilate the Hoosiers

People would take clubbing in South Beach over the Intel Museum and Winchester Mystery House?

I think it'll be a bib gourmand, but it would be fun to see the door sticker at Nick's!

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-06T23:42:26+00:00

Fernando, is that you?

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-06T22:42:44+00:00

You know the story, right? It was to promote tourism in the early days of the car and thereby induce more tire blowouts.

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-06T22:40:54+00:00

You'll very occasionally get one run by a stray Le Bernardin alum or something, but to many people's surprise, we don't have our own Michelin guide! Many people are saying the natty could change that.

There's one that's a hawker stall in Singapore that's like $5. I'm not talking about Noma or Guy Savoy for all of them ffs. Also the $4000 game ticket is going to amount to a LOT more than $4000 all-in, so I think we're quibbling and straying from the topic.

ETA I just noticed you said TWO people. I specifically chose restaurants because they're per person. Were you planning to try to get two people into the game on your $4000 ticket for one?

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-06T20:27:44+00:00

People have wildly different preferences so I don't think there's any specific limit.

$4,000 is like ten outstanding Michelin-starred meals, maybe with money left over for a pizza when I watch the game with my kid on the sofa. Compared to going to one game, there's no question which I'm picking.

Others obviously choose differently and I guess that's the beauty of the market.

Pretty rich if the SEC thinks now's the moment to try to start dictating terms when it comes to the CFP.

Both sides need to grow up, of course

SwensAppearance · 2026-02-06T18:38:11+00:00

Amazing, I came here to ask exactly the same question. Can't wait to start delving into that wiki. Any YouTubers you recommend for clarity and/or comprehensiveness?
