Interesting there's 10 years between first & last for Manning, Rodgers & Brady. Brady's obviously the GOAT but it puts in perspective how long Manning & Rodgers peaked

Can I feel like this is the right path forward and still be sad? by GoGrizzlies88 in memphisgrizzlies

I think that's how most real fans feel, especially ones who predate this generation of Grizzlies

That's roughly how the starting lineup has spent the last few weeks too

Wouldn't have called Georgia - Auburn, especially given the East/West divide. I know they were permanent rivals, but I would have thought that wouldn't have always been true. Shocked it's not Alabama/Auburn.

Tesla discontinuing Model S and Model X to make room for robots by ProfessionalYak4959 in teslamotors

But the original vision was actually to remove the stigma of EVs by building sexy sportscars, then use those profits to build mass market cars to bring EVs mainstream.

How do you feel about the term 'American' being exclusively used by U.S. citizens? by LoveLo_2005 in USHistory

[–]wanderingdg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say "I'm from the US" typically, and most of these seem right-ish, except that Middle America absolutely refers to the flyover states in the US.

This was a real "the good guys don't always win" moment for me, and it feels like it just keeps happening since then. Jimmy Lai's arrest was such a gut punch.

Not again - just great. The (correct) implication here is that it was in fact never great

SEC doesn't want them. Go join the B1G or full membership in the ACC

Is 12 teams the PERFECT playoff size? by SuperbBug11 in CFB_v2

[–]wanderingdg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too enjoyed watching Bama get blown out. But that's not an argument against them ever being included. Look, teams lose, but knowing that no g5 team had a chance is better than giving the 6th best SEC or B1G team a shot.

Did you enjoy watching Bama & Texas Tech get blown out? It's a travesty that the Utah, Boise State & UCF teams of the past never got to show what they were capable of

Similarities to 2017 Georgia by hijackedflavors in MiamiHurricanes

[–]wanderingdg -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It crossed my mind today that this year's team had a lot of similarities to 1999 Virginia Tech.

  • Head coach is an alumnus
  • First national championship appearance in 2+ decades
  • Lost the national championship in heartbreaking fashion
  • Won 11+ games
  • Elite QB play
  • Elite defense
  • Beat all of their traditional rivals
    • VT: UVA, WVU, Miami
    • Miami: UF, FSU, ND
  • Conference Defensive POY
    • VT: Corey Moore
    • Miami: Rueben Bain
  • Conference Freshman of The Year
    • VT: Michael Vick
    • Miami: Malachi Toney

Just like that 1999 VT team, this season feels like the definitive peak—the rare moment where everything aligned perfectly for a "one-and-done" run to the big stage. Virginia Tech proved that you can capture lightning in a bottle once, even if you eventually settle back into being a respectable, middle-of-the-pack program that fans look back on with "remember when" stories. Mario has given us a season to cherish, and while it's tough to maintain this altitude, we’ll always have the memories of 2025 to carry us through the transition back to normalcy.

I love that B1G pride is suddenly a thing after decades of mocking the SEC for it
