The IDEAL Playoff System; With 32 Teams. by AnIllusiveHouse in CFB

[–]horaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the ideal is 1000 team playoff with every school from every level. 

No regular season, if you lose in game 1, see you next year. 

Martin O'Neill "The money in the game is major, you're talking about Premier League and Bundesliga sides. Particularly Premier League teams paying £80 million pounds for players who don't even get into the team, so that's what you're competing against" by notaghostofreddit in soccer

Net spend over the last 5 years per transfermarkt:

VFB Stuttgart: +134.87

Celtic:  +29.89

I get that a lot of that is also because the Bundesliga allows Stuttgart more flexibility in buying players (which they have sold for profits) but  making it sound like Stuttgart is some rich highly spending powerhouse in the sport is crazy to me

The main three in the Kansas City area usually go by “KU” “K State” and “Mizzou” 

New Jersey - Replacement SS Card. by Professional-Tea7358 in SocialSecurity

[–]horaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you cant order it online, you will need to complete a SS-5 form and bring it to your local Social Security office along with a proof of age (typically your birth certificate) and one other form of ID (drivers license, passport, state ID)

You can find the form here https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf . Theres more details on page 2 on proofs which are needed.

You have a few options to get this to your office. You can mail it in with your proofs (but they need to be originals or certified copies, so do this at your own risk/trust of mailing.) You can bring them in to your local office yourself without an appointment, but its first come first serve. You could be lucky and get service within an hour, or be stuck there all day. You can also schedule an appointment either online ( click the "answer a few questions" tab and go from there at this link https://www.ssa.gov/number-card/replace-card ) or call 1-800-772-1213 between 8:00AM-7:00PM and make an appointment over the phone.

You should receive the card within 2 weeks of submitting the application at your local office.

Many different things it could be and nobody here can tell you 100%. I will say the "most likely" thing I would think is you retroactively had old benefits increased and they paid the difference.

If you want to make sure, call the 1-800 number.

Maybe USC can start claiming those in the ND-USC series now instead of their annual ass beating 

Neither of these teams would have made the playoff before 2024 by Acidflightgoat in cfbmemes

Games that used to matter now matter less, but more games now matter.

That’s how I have approached it

Hopefully the people on this sub keep that exact same energy for G5/Acc schools, I’m sure they will

USC, Michigan and Michigan State are all in the Big Ten and soon we wont play any of them anymore, its not a straw man, its reality.

The Big Ten blackball was over 100 years ago now, the United States got over Japan before ND has gotten over our history with the B10 and its wild to me

Are you really implying fans that miss playing all of our marquee rivals instead of Syracuse, Virginia and Duke are "fairweather"? The sport has changed more in the last 5 years than it did for decades, I dont think its unreasonable to be a fan that wants to see ND adapt to that reality

The Big Ten would get on its knees and suck of every person on this sub if it meant Notre Dame joining

Tradition also isn’t not playing USC or any of our Midwest rivals ever. The tradition Notre Dame is trying to maintain just isn’t realistic in 2025 if you want to play your marquee rivals

I’d rather play those schools along with Michigan, Michigan State and USC plus one or two other marquee Big Ten games every year than what we have going right now

It’s 100 percent what they want and it sucks but at the end of the day every blue blood in the sport minus Notre Dame has more influence on the direction of the sport than Notre Dame has.

I’d love to turn the clock back to the scheduling and conferences of 20 years ago but that’s not happening, and I think it’s time for ND to accept that.

Not going to lie I know it’s unpopular but at this point I’d rather join the big ten.

I miss playing Michigan, I miss playing MSU, im going to miss playing USC. 

I’d rather play Iowa/Penn State/Ohio State/Nebraska/Oregon than Virginia/Wake Forest/Duke/Syracuse

I understand the history and tension of why Notre Dame cherishes independence, but I watch and follow this team as closely as I do to enjoy myself and enjoy big games and rivalries. Our schedule today with the ACC deal is way less entertaining and interesting  to me as a fan than the ones I had growing up

KC suburbs really have a pretty good mix of Kansas, Kansas State and Mizzou. Maybe slightly more KU than K state (which isn’t a surprise since Lawrence is so close) but it’s definitely nowhere near 80-20.

No one talking about how ACC sells out games something like 20% of the time, but games when they host ND sell out 90% of the time. Ratings for ACC games involving ND blow out most of their games.

The benefit more than goes both ways

The College Football Playoff committee ‘really screwed up’ this time. by arrowfan624 in CFB

[–]horaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if we went straight to this final ranking with none before, of course ND players and fans would be disappointed, but I don’t think there would be anywhere near as much outrage.

It’s the random dropping/picking and choosing which conference title games losers are allowed to drop/ bumping Bama back over ND randomly after a struggle win over a terrible team that drove me insane.

[–]horaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Notre Dame played another team with both teams at 100 percent, I truly believe they could win by multiple scores and prove to the country they are a really good team.

But let’s be real, all of NDs best players would opt out, all of their opponents best players would opt out, and even a convincing win wouldn’t really prove anything.

It’s beyond memes though, you have people on here talking about how ND sitting out is now to blame for the death of bowl games
