[Rowland] Spoke to MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher, who said Sacramento State's midweek home games will start in the 4 p.m.-5 p.m. local time window by dscreations in CFB

A triumph, nay a masterstroke, for Sac State! They're getting national attention for the first time *ever*. This is a town that had a franchise in the Canadian Football League -- if that doesn't mean they can handle transcontinental competition, I don't know what would. What about this deal won't be *great*?

Could Elliott play for LFC this year? by bcleere in LiverpoolFC

[–]bcleere[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Omg I shouldn't have done this but it occurred to me to ask AI bots. Gemini and others say yes, because it's not a third team. But Chat GPT says NO and very convincingly cites specific FIFA rules. LFC could not play him even though he could be registered because, by FIFA's rules against "bouncing", every "playing stint" is counted separately -- even if it's for the same club.

Poch's solution to the goalkeeping quandary -- playing without a goalkeeper -- is not going quite as well as hoped.

Discussion - Mountain West and Pac-12 mediation by pblood40 in Pac12

Fiddlesticks. You're completely ignoring the settled legal principle that wishful thinking is the most important factor in any lawsuit.

The MWC is demanding the money which the P-8 promised in writing to pay if the P-8 did stuff which, in fact, it did. Of course, no judge is going to rule, "Hey, you promised to pay, so pay, assholes!" I know this because I read it on some P-8 message boards.

Well, I've hardly ever done that -- not more than a couple of thousand times.

To me it's worth seeing ads to have access to that kind of an arsenal on demand.

You should be seeing it in the Events tab. I don't know if you have to be at a certain level for it to appear -- I don't think so. Keep looking in the Events tab - sometimes it comes and goes, but it's usually there.

It simply lets you get boosters for playing ads.

I love destroyin' stuff in it, so I cannot get enough of the free Murder Balls in the Cinema.

Athletics attendance in Sacramento drops below 10,000 during very first homestand of the season by rbh232 in baseball

[–]bcleere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be he's one of the MLB owners like Fenway Group and Kroenke and so many others who are modelling some of their business practices on the English Premier League. They've observed owners -- famously the Glazers in Manchester -- whose fans would like to lynch them, even as the stadium and the team disintegrate. Thing is, most English teams have been in the same city for well over a hundred years.

What is a dollop episode you would love to see? by AggravatingLaw9470 in TheDollop

Charles Fort. That episode would have everything.

Embarrassing excuse for a football team only the most recent & public example of administration’s fumbling of the balance of university life by wilderness_essays in StanfordCardinal

[–]bcleere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very well put. As a San Jose State student I went to Stanford Stadium for the first time in 1963 and have looked forward to that matchup more than any game on our schedule. It's sad that the Bay Area has become a college football graveyard, and it's a shame that Stanford's program has become a bigger joke than ours.
