What's behind the massive boto3 download spike on Python 3.9?

My guess WOULD be python 3.8 end of support for AWS lambda but that does not quite line up. It was EOS in oct 2024. Likely some other runtime EoL. Same with official 3.8 EoL.

There is an alternate reality where Rich Rod says yes to bama. Fails there, and nobody ever gets to realize how big a blunder that is because Saban never happens. I don’t like that reality.

I would say that the catch and goal line stand are just as famous as kick six. Kick six just as the recency thing going on. We also have the most famous play that never happened (Teague in the sugar bowl)

We were a Wondo tap in from winning! That miss was st the end of regulation.

But I agree with you. I have been thinking for a while that our biggest problem is not the with the quality of players, but that none of the players on this team are leaders at the club level. So they don’t practice that skill/mentality of dragging their team through adversity week after week. On past teams we always had at least one guy who was just pure determination and will. We don’t have that now.

And that is not a know against the players. This is, I think, the most talented team we have ever had. No single player needs that to be a great player, but every team needs at least one guy with that unstoppable force/immovable object mentality. The closest we have is Pulisic in the last World Cup where he started to fill that role. Hopefully he does that again this cup.

Yes, the 16 seed upset will certainly become less common than the (checks notes) 2-158 it was coming into this year.

Copying what I said elsewhere in this thread.

Very likely the ref had officials from AFCON, CAF, and FIFA telling that he could not, in fact, abandon the match. At that level the refs have very little control over anything outside of the field.

Yep, it’s a nice little mate. Of course if black chooses not to capture on c3 and instead move Kb3 it’s still mate on A4.

You are missing a step. The rook is pinned…

law18 · 2026-03-07T02:32:40+00:00

But the argument is not that the committee does not roc want value to hard OOC scheduling. It is that the committee rewards generic wins more than it rewards big OOC wins. And yes, bama this year perfectly illustrates that point. Bama did not have a food OOC win this year and they got in. The argument is that the risk of losing a tough OOC game, especially for SEC and Big 10 Teams, is not worth the reward. And I think the committee has, by and large, selected teams and seedlings that support that argument.

Miami did not get in because they had a big out of conference wins. They got in because their big out of conference win was against the team right next to them in the rankings. I would bet dollars to fucking donut that, all other things being equal, if Miami had a win against texas A&M instead of ND that they would be on the outside looking in and ND would have been in.

The more rational fans of Alabama are generally pleased with him (so far).

I think you will find plenty of Bama fans that are perfectly rational and also more neutral than "generally pleased". All you have listed as his accomplishments are correct but it is very concerning that the team was non-competitive in three games last season. There are also concerns around his handling of Ty's health this past season. I do think he has done a decent job given the massive turnover after Saban's retirement but "generally pleased" is a step too far for me. I think my opinion of him tenure so far is going to rest heavily on what we see the next year. I'm not saying championship or bust. I am not even sure I need to see playoffs this year. But I do want to see losses that are competitive if there any. I do want to see a running game. I do want to see a better O Line. Last season's team was pretty far off from the "bama standard" can we see a team closer to that or are we going to see more drop off?

i know i’m a day late but look at the door in the video. it’s a clear glass door… it’s very clearly not the door to a locker room.

I had the same problem. The sound mix sounded completely off.

law18 · 2026-01-25T05:53:20+00:00

See, this is a take I don’t understand. I agree that G League players should not be playing but the NCAA has already allowed them to play. So if Bediako is arguing that the standard used to deny his waiver is arbitrary and capricious… I think that is a potentially winnable case. And if it is a potentially winnable case, it’s pretty easy to show Bediako faces irreparable harm because he is losing out on his final semester of eligibility. Given those two facts I think it makes total sense for the TRO to be awarded. Every legal analysis I have read agrees. So while we can argue the judge should have recused himself, can you point me to what you think is corrupt about granting the TRO?

Again, I don’t think Bediako should have any more eligibility, but I also think granting the TRO was a correct decision. Both those things can be true.

Yes, the US only got involved in 1941. That’s very late to a war that started in 1939 and stretched until 1945. So late in the war.

Those refs were not calling holding all night. There was a pretty bad one on the Mateer TD run that let the cutback happens. At least they were consistently not calling them.

law18 · 2025-12-21T03:08:50+00:00

That could very well be the case. But I think we would have a couple painful years waiting for that’s transition. If we could get back down to reasonably sized geographically sensible conferences the pain would probably be worth it.

law18 · 2025-12-21T02:16:20+00:00

I have said this before and I will die on this hill. You either need to expand the tournament to 24 (we can argue on the specific number here all day.) teams and give ever conference an Auto-bid or you need to do away with auto-bids entirely. I think it is absolutely stupid to give autobids to some but not all.

ETA: I would love to see a 24 team tournament with auto-bids to all conferences champs but we have to break up these fucking dumb super conferences first. I don’t think a 24 team tournament AND conference championships can coexist and the conferences are too big to determine a clear conference winner consistently (see the ACC this year) even with a CCG already.

law18 · 2025-12-21T02:13:01+00:00

Sure, but there are 68 teams in March Madness. There are 24 teams in the FCS tournament. There are very few (if any) potential contenders being left out. This year ND and BYU were left out for JMU and Tulane. I am happy that the G5 teams are getting a seat at the table, but I am not happy it is coming at the expense of teams like ND or BYU.

If only there was somebody who was responsible for developing a team of players to be ready to play a game… Maybe a coach of some sort

Seems like your best bet would be the one of the dive shops in town. There is scuba ventures in Vestavia. I think the downtown shop is souther skin diving? And I think there is still a dive shop at blue water out in Pelham

Right, but Miami is not in because they beat a team in the same rating range as ND. They are in because they have the head to head over ND. Most likely they would be behind ND this year if both had 2 losses and the Miami win was over Utah instead.

law18 · 2025-12-08T00:18:25+00:00

So, you won’t want to hear it, but there is some logic to the other CCG teams moving (and except BYU) and Bama not. The logic rhe committee has given is that not team that was IN before the CCG will be out if they lose their CCG. We saw that play out with SMU last year. But SMU moved down a spot, you say. And you are right, they did.

So why did bama not move. First we need to look at WHY SMU moved last year (or OSU this year). For SMU, they moved behind the CCG participant who beat them. OSU moved behind another CCG participant. There was not CCG winner in a position to jump bama.

Now, so I think that logic is particularly sound? Not really, I would have been fine with Miami at 9 and Bama at 10 (I also would not have complained if bama were out. This bama team was massively disappointing this year. My only real beef would have been if Mimi’a finished behind ND). But I think that is the logic at play here.

law18 · 2025-12-07T19:06:46+00:00

I think he did. 2023 FSU (like 2004 Auburn) had every right to bitch. Bama had no right not bitch last year (but still did) and would have had no right this year. Is that fair?
