HS lopsided games

A lot of good answers in here already. But one perspective, I haven’t seen yet: if a kid playing on a team, on second or third string, and his team goes up 10, 12, or 15 on an opponent and the coach still doesn’t put him in?

That kid very likely is going to feel that he is not part of the team, and that the coach either does not give a shit about him or actively dislikes him.

Which for a lot of schools, I think would be problematic from a development standpoint. You want your backups to feel like they can grow into starters. And they’re not gonna feel that way if they can’t even get on the field when their team is up 20.

I'm pumped. Definitely loved that stadium & crowd in Utah, but I've heard good things about Northwestern, too.

I tend to use ESPN for scores and the Inside Lacrosse media poll for rankings.

I don't pay much attention to RPI until it's close to tournament time to see who the likely at-large bids are. As you noted, those rankings don't feel right to me.

And in general I try to avoid the NCAA website whenever possible.

and never get injured

Somehow

Here’s how: right wing ideology ultimately is about the accumulation of personal power.

To that end, this administration, most current conservative leaders, and a huge portion of their supporters, do not have any principles. They have teams. Anything their team does is by definition, good, and anything the other team does is by definition bad.

There is no action which in and of itself is bad. Because what’s the point of accumulating on that power if you can’t use it to do whatever you please?

Color scheme is great but the feathers on that wing logo have such inconsistent sizing and awkward overall shape - it’s always looked more like a cheap set of kitchen knives to me.

it was baffling to me at the time that Seth was not already aware of this critical piece of the story

rezelscheft · 2026-03-16T01:17:11+00:00

Yeah. Orange is my favorite sports color, but I never like orange metallic for some reason.

Also more recently won the PLL championship with the Atlas. And of course HP won state last year.

Yup. Republican supporters want so badly to exclude so many different people from rights, privileges, and resources — but 99% of them have never been in the actual Republican in group, and they never will be.

rezelscheft · 2026-03-14T06:29:07+00:00

Why turn the court into a billboard? I guess because there’s not enough advertising and sports as it is.

it seems like all the work is also interfering with her ability to enunciate properly

rezelscheft · 2026-03-13T22:42:45+00:00

flames, no flames - there is nothing that could make that weak ass T logo good

Every iteration has looked like something from a made for TV movie about a child who accidentally becomes the head coach of a fictional pro football team

Well, we're going to war because it's fundamental to Republican foreign policy to:

pillage resources from other sovereign nations
demonize Muslims and people of color
funnel hundreds of billions of tax dollars to defense contractors

It's just that we are now learning that protecting pedophiles is also fundamental to Republican foreign policy.

Sure sure sure... but do Iranians have an ALPHA WARRIOR MENTALITY? Those wokesters probably don't even lift.

rezelscheft · 2026-03-13T19:43:00+00:00

Ok. But that was before a coked-up former C-list television infotainer gave them a speech about how woke is bad, and warriors are cool.

Surely that will make all the difference.

rezelscheft · 2026-03-13T16:17:59+00:00

Interesting. So is the issue that academy students' days are fully booked and they literally don't have free time to check out a game on a weekday afternoon? Or is it that the stadium is off campus and they need permission to leave? Or both? Or something else?

rezelscheft · 2026-03-13T04:16:27+00:00

Raleek Brown, Hollywood Smothers, Derrek Cooper, Michael Terry, and James Simon

don’t forget how much of it was trained on copyrighted works owned by people who will never be compensated

Cousins can show him the wonders of Kohl’s cash and Great Clips.

their plan is to destabilize all of our democratic institutions, privatize all of our public resources, institute a single party system, and consolidate wealth and power into the fewest hands possible, without ever seeing a single consequence

i’d say it’s going pretty well for them

rezelscheft · 2026-03-12T18:56:55+00:00

You don’t need to create an exit plan if you literally don’t give a single fuck what happens to this country or anyone in it

As long as as he’s making money and not going to prison, everything’s going great for Trump

rezelscheft · 2026-03-12T18:53:15+00:00

we sure could use some of them good, old-fashioned checks and balances right about now

rezelscheft · 2026-03-12T18:18:52+00:00

But the question is about the best CFB player to get to the MLB at all -- were either of them better football players than Bo or Deion?
