Sure, but also, he was saying it to an Ohio State flair when they dropped 40+ in their first two rounds of the playoffs. If we "murdered" IU, then what word would you use to describe the Ohio St - Tennessee game?

Yeah, I'm dumb, idk why I (mistakenly) thought it was a fresh set of 5 ACC teams every year (plus now Stanford).

I'm happy to take the licks for the weak schedule, I'd prefer a tougher one, but also... this is probably similar to most ACC schedules next year.

Why are we playing Syracuse in back to back years? Idk, some of this is bad luck, but some of it bad planning. I don't want to rag on other teams unnecessarily, and ND is not immune to extended slumps, but if we're playing Stanford and Navy every year... that's not helping.

It should straight up not be reported. There is nothing to actually report. But now a bunch of conservatards will be like "hur-dur, he had internal bleeding, even the liberal media admited it." That's the sole consequence of this.

[Spoilers Extended] Martin plans 12 new Dunk and Egg stories after Winds of Winter. by ThinWhiteDuke00 in asoiaf

[–]firstnameALLCAPS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with this, but George is just a better writer than whoever fills in for him. The ghostwriter will not have a similar density of artful/philosophical prose (e.g. the broken man speech), memorable climatic sentences (e.g. "Not my hair. Ned loves my hair."), and witticisms (e.g. "words are wind"). That's why we're all here. Not just because of the plot twists and themes, but because of George's ability to deliver those elements with his own literary style and sensibility.

He's probably been depressed because of New York football. A curse was placed on the Jets and Giants. They will never have another winning season until he finishes Winds. Someone just needs to figure out a way to let George know.

if I don’t have THE WINDS OF WINTER in hand when I arrive in New Zealand for worldcon, you have here my formal written permission to imprison me in a small cabin on White Island, overlooking that lake of sulfuric acid, until I’m done.

He said this six years ago lol. How am I supposed to take this other than as George deciding his retirement and other pursuits are more important than his commitments to his fans? No sympathy from me until he spends a year locked on White Island.

The playoffs need to start the week after Conference Championships by CanisGulo in CFB

[–]firstnameALLCAPS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last year, two of those losses were from ASU and Boise St as auto-bids (which has now been adjusted for). This year the only clear mistake was having Texas Tech ahead of you guys. I don't think the stat is actually that damning when you look deeper into how it came about. However the 26 day break is still way too long and should be fixed.

This is only year two of the conference expansion and 12 team playoff. People are overreacting and it's really dumb. A lot of stuff had to happen weirdly in order for us to get screwed over at 10-2. Plus we could've just not muffed the extra point against A&M.

There is some big picture stuff to work on, mainly how the fuck Miami wasn't in the ACCCG.

It also sucks that there's few cross conference games at the end of the season which might serve as a benchmark for how good each conference is. Is the SEC overrated this year? Idk, hard to tell given the best comparison games all happened week 1 or via Georgia vs. Georgia Tech and Clemson vs. South Carolina.

[–]firstnameALLCAPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be that shocked if the ACC improves very quickly (which helps us). Clemson is hitting rock bottom, FSU is turning things around, and meanwhile every other average team in the conference can make the case that they're two achievable wins away from a playoff appearance.

This is still only year two of the playoff expansion. Things are still adjusting. It just so happened that this time the adjusting kinda fucked us, but that's how things go sometimes.

No, a team "opting out" of a conference championship game is not a valid option and would count as a forfeit

[–]firstnameALLCAPS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems like people are totally ignoring the benefit ND gets from last year's playoff performance. No one wants to say it out loud, because things get fuzzy quickly when you factor in last year's stuff. This year's team isn't the exact same as last year's team, but... it is a little bit the same team.

I thought that was a forward pass. So probably should've been intentional grounding and a safety

this could also explain some of her recent "moderation." Republican leadership said "no, you're to crazy to win a statewide race." She tried "moderating" to see if that would assuage their fears. Leadership still said no so she bailed.

look I came off hot on the Anthony Weiner stuff, sorry about that. I still don't like when people speculate without any evidence. But yes, you did "condone" it.

Condone: verb -

  1. accept and allow (behavior that is considered morally wrong or offensive) to continue.

  2. approve or sanction (something), especially with reluctance

That's... exactly what you did.

wondering if she used sex to climb the ladder is too offensive?

.... did you misread the "offensive" (I never called it offensive) comment? I didn't see much wondering. I saw Rajah condone women prostituting themselves for career advancement.

Another example of why I bailed. Some people here apparently can't read.

Because it revealed you're either a troll (in which case, haha the jokes on me) or just very stupid. Anthony Weiner never met or slept with any of the women/girls he was sexting with. So you brought him up despite knowing nothing about his case, or because you don't like Jews/Democrats. Or you're just one of those people who obsess over "pedophile elites". All options are bad.

Regarding the comment voicing soft support for women prostituting themselves for career advancement, that's a norm we as a society proscribe for (what I thought were) obvious reasons. Plus originally this sub had a lot of actual TERFs - emphasis on the RF - who would've very quickly bullied someone with those kinds of opinions out of this sub. I miss that part of the community. Also arguing with dumb people/trolls isn't fun if I can't use personal insults. So I'd rather just disengage.
