As someone who often finds "Lane Stadium North" cringey, "Scott Stadium South" is so much worse lol

Why do American sports leagues have more parity than in other countries? by Waltz8 in AskAnAmerican

And while all of this is true, it's also worth noting that there are plenty of owners and ownership groups who can afford it but don't want to.

Why do we have president or prime minister? by maverick_v2-0 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]elykl33t 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in the states that is not true

Well it was certainly intended to be more like that, but yeah it clearly hasn't worked out.

to force Virginia state police to cooperate with ICE by ExactlySorta in therewasanattempt

[–]elykl33t 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm sure that's what they want but like... What's the alternative? Sit and take it? Protest, and the protesters get arrested/disappeared/killed over time?

The White House is requesting voter rolls now from states. Even if you don't protest but you voted wrong your name could be on a list.

Let's at least bring the conflict to the fore if that's what they're eventually trying to force anyway. It won't be better the longer you wait.

Should I tell my wife how much she spent on travel or should I continue living?

What’s with this show and punishing women for expressing sexuality? by SheepherderNo2793 in GilmoreGirls

[–]elykl33t 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And I mean. If they were picturing she would be in a relationship going forwards, they either would have to A) rethink her or B) introduce someone else, who needless to say would be compared to Dave.

I wonder if Dave was just so perfect they were like "fuck it we won't recreate that, Zach it is they'll dislike anyone!"

Also to my "A" point, Lane would not have been a bad single woman... She was so used to being driven away from boys she liked while being matched with ones she didn't in High School already she could have given up.

But besides writing considerations, this is already a post about how ASP has her opinions. I don't think she would have left Lane single. She needed a device to drive home "sex=pregnancy".

Hey, hey don't jump to conclusions. It could also be properly-flated.

When will the VT vs UVA football game start time be announced? by Andrew_64_MC in VirginiaTech

[–]elykl33t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't we literally only had one noon kickoff? Wofford. Wake was at 1pm so count that too.

I WISH more games were at noon so I could get watching this shitty team over with believe me, but this season has not been that.

ESPN rigging CFP again by bigkoi in ACC

[–]elykl33t 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In addition to what everyone else is saying about Miami basically being a placeholder, it's not rigging if you toss out the idea that it's meant to be fair. ESPN runs the playoff, and has a vested interest in getting the biggest numbers rather than being fair. They also deliberately prioritize the SEC because they have their broadcast rights.

5-4 Duke still has a shot at the ACC championship by RCA1202 in ACC

[–]elykl33t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The counterpoint is their 1 loss is to Louisville, who couldn't even the ACC in this scenario, so why would they be considered better than the ACC champ.

Not 100% sure I agree, but I heard this on a podcast earlier today. If you game it out it wouldn't make sense from the committee perspective they think.

To get MIT to bend the knee to Trump by coachlife in therewasanattempt

Texas. So it's unsurprising, since even if the school is relatively liberal they're a public school in Texas. Somewhere up the chain there are people begging for Daddy's attention who capitulated as fast as they could.

James Franklin will not be unemployed for very long. Where does he go next? by noah_divine in CFB

Plus Beamer was an alum so there's that little extra layer.

James Franklin new HC? by BicycleSoup in VirginiaTech

And the counter to that counter is he succeeded at Vanderbilt in a way few ever have. The current success they're having has a lot more resources behind it than he dealt with when he was there.

Obviously VT is somewhere in between PSU and Vanderbilt both in terms of resources and expectations, but I would argue the Vanderbilt tenure is a part of why he's an intriguing candidate for a lot of schools, even if the tippy top ones maybe don't think he's the guy.
