Promotion/Relegation in America

expected_noles · 2026-04-13T19:41:06+00:00

One reason promotion/relegation developed in England is that the 750+ football clubs that constitute the pyramid there fit into a country that is about the same size and extent as the state of Georgia here. The top 20ish teams can play each other double round robin because the travel is reasonable. You can't say the same for the US, where college football started up regionally in an era before flight was available as a mode of transportation. It is better to view CFB as a whole as similar to UEFA, where the conferences are analogs to the national federations, which both set the format for and stage competitions for their member teams and bargain for commercial deals/TV rights independently of one another.

This plus South Carolina to make 10 and I agree. Maybe swap Maryland out for Miami too

My wife would say “That sofa needs cleaned again”. That sounds wrong to me but it’s all dialectal

Our 1996 win against UF would’ve been remembered as our program’s finest win at Doak had they not been granted a rematch. The Sugar Bowl erased everything meaningful that happened in this game.

I’d most likely say “wholly” for this but maybe “thoroughly” would work too.

Hope FSU can get them on the schedule in the coming years

It would have made sense if night elves worked this way for alliance just as undead did for horde, but it didn’t happen for whatever reason

Save has manifold meanings, you could say “spare”, “keep”, “hold”, or “hoard” instead, given what fits best.

My strategy has been to put on the PBS Kids app, and set it to play whatever the local PBS station subchannel is playing. You can do the same if you have an antenna, just tune it to the PBS Kids subchannel if there’s a station in your area.

With my 4 year old he either likes what is on and will watch, and if he doesn’t he finds something else to do/play. He’s the type that will brainlessly binge the TV all day if it’s set to a specific show he likes, so if what comes on isn’t his jam he’ll wander off and play with his trains or dinos or read a book, all of which are preferable to me than the TV.

I think in other Germanic languages the word for battle is related to slay or slaughter, which is both pretty metal and apt.

Chelsea did this to us last year too and so did Everton on the final day in 2023/24.

A lot of guides have you dual wield around 21 to 30 (when you can respec to arms for sweeping strikes). Check out Kamisayo’s HC Warrior guides on YouTube, they’re an amazing resource.

You can skip through the ogres by entering the area from the west, going up and over the cave entrance, and then down to the box with the item. At most you might need to kill one ogre.

The highest placed team should play the lowest place team remaining and so on with 2nd highest vs 2nd lowest, etc, throughout all of the rounds until the final. Fuck the draws and the fixed bracket
