My youngest kid and I are going to see the Cats in person for the first time in a long time. It’s nice to be excited about basketball again. Hopefully they’ll put on a show and he gets to experience Rupp at high volume.
Here in 3 hours I’ll be loading the kids in the SUV and driving 2 hours to the small town of Dennison, OH for the polar express train ride. It’s about 2 hours, has people perform the hot chocolate song, they meet Santa at the North Pole, the works. All 5 of us will then stay in a hotel room together where me and my wife will sleep on the pull out couch. These kids better remember all this **** I did for them when they’re older.
They will man, that’s an awesome thing for the kids!
So my kid commits to a small D3 college in upstate NY bc he loves the coach, but then gets offered by the big Ivy League school in NYC and changes his mind. Feels terrible bc he loves the coach. Last night we get a phone call from old coach in upstate NY who just accepted the head coaching job at the Ivy League school in NYC!
Head explosions.
Small world.
Don’t burn bridges.
College football is crazy.

Going to be rooting like hell for 05.
I was looking forward to making you donate to NAMBLA but sure. It is a bet.
About 12 years ago somebody made a joke about NAMBLA on here and I wasn't familiar with it so I typed it into my work computer and clicked on the first link. Dear God, I thought I was going to get fired and arrested by the FBI on the same day.
I don't see how Georgia can feel comfortable if they take an L today and FSU wins. Last two years are irrelevant. You'll have 1) Michigan (undefeated), 2) Washington (undefeated), 3) FSU (crappy w/out their QB, but undefeated) and then Texas, Alabama, OSU and Georgia with a single loss.
Who has the best body of work out of that 3? If you go buy wins over Top-25 teams it's Bama.
Bama has the best wins, Texas has the win at Bama, and UGA has the third best resume between those three which seems crazy to me.
UGA should be in no matter what. Even with a loss, how can you say a different one-loss team deserves to be in ahead of them? Only way I might be convinced otherwise would be if Bama blows them out.
I agree the last two years are irrelevant to a compute based on this season.
But humans are the final deciding factor, and as a person you can’t watch them win that many games in a row, while winning the last 2 championships, and see them lose to #7 Alabama in the SEC Championship and say they aren’t getting in.
If that happened we might as well just stop ALL the BS and declare no winners, champions or have any bowl games and just simply admit this is all a big charade to generate lots of corporate sponsorships to push BILLIONS of dollars but the outcome of a game literally means nothing!

I don't understand why Google sucks so bad showing the schedule of teams, so some of my data was off.
Georgia has beaten four ranked at the time teams:
1) UK (20)
2) Missouri (12)
3) Ole Miss (9)
4) UT (18)
I guess their signature win is the Ole Miss game. I don't understand why they didn't schedule a real non-conference game this year. Ga Tech was their best non-conference opponent.
Now look at Bama. Their games against top 25 teams (at the time):
1) Texas (11) - Loss
2) Ole Miss (15)
3) Tennessee (17)
4) LSU (14)
So if you look at this head-to-head, UT played a real non-conference game and lost whereas Georgia didn't really schedule one of those.
If Bama wins today against Georgia, it's a pretty easy argument to make that Bama has the better resume.
Where it gets interesting is Texas:
1) Bama (3)
2) Kansas (24)
3) Oklahoma (12) - Loss
4) K-State (23) - OT
5) OK-State (18) - In progress.
I think it's easy to argue that they should be ranked:
1) Texas
2) Bama
3) Georgia
Never saw ol white Wayne using kid’s abbreviations but here we are.
And yes back to back and undefeated this year, so far. If that’s their only loss and the others have one loss put them in, they’ve basically smoked everyone.
If you think KSU or KU barely in the top 25 being signature wins, great, I don’t. I’d rather play that B12 schedule all day with a few ranked opponents than go through the SEC down or not. I’ll guarantee you Texas would have a second loss playing in the SEC.
If we’re all going to sit here and say UK would be second in the ACC because we beat UL due to schedule well I think UGA would be undefeated with Texas’ schedule as well. I think you give UGA anyone’s schedule they still have the same record.
So yes I am FR fr, now go get the bag because it hits different, not suss’ at all and totally bussin’, no cap.
Ehhhh... who you beat matters but losing/how you lost also matters. You have to consider that the Texas win over Bama was by double digits and at Alabama. The Texas loss to Oklahoma was on the last play of the game in a neutral game.
And it's early but Texas is murking Ok State.
I'm as cynical a person as you'll ever find. Generally devoid of humanity and sentiment. All well known around these parts.
But, seriously... That sounds fantastic. You will be a GOD to your kids.
That is an 11 out of 10 on the "Dad awesomeness scale"
It's getting dusty in here...
Georgia was scheduled to play Oklahoma this year but the SEC killed the contract when Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC. The SEC allowed the Bama/Texas game because it was the 2nd game of a home and home.
Man did some of these league presidents make sure their team gets in or what? Questionable calls in the Big 12 title game. With that said, OK ST is awful and has 5 losses or more in the SEC.
I don't think Tiger is done.
Really, and I mean really looking forward to seeing what Bradshaw brings to the table today.
If UGA and FL ST loses, I still think they put OSU in.
Daughter passed her drivers permit yesterday. For those of you getting close, study the manual. Do not rely on practice quizzes on the interwebs.
Oh and because of that, FML.

-Tiger is very unlikely to win any decent event but I’m here for it for sure.
-Did the drivers test get harder? I didn’t study anything. Just walked in did the common sense written portion then went out and took the driving portion, got a 93.
Can’t imagine studying for it unless it’s completely changed and likely has since I took it almost 30 years ago.

-Left the gym and decided to grab a bottle of tequila on the way back home for 1-6 night caps after work tonight seeing that I haven’t drank in almost 2 months and am off tomorrow.
No wallet since I came in from the gym and dude insisted on carding me, guess it was a sign to not drink tonight.
-Well Nelly is STILL awful despite all the nostalgia in here for bandaid faces and HORRIBLE rap. Never got the love for that abysmal rapper. He’s basically Sisco that shook Tupac’s hand once and got a scintilla of street cred from it.
-One of the perks of slinging drinks for a living is watching sports the whole time and talking about it with patrons. Nothing like someone giving you $20 to talk sports with them and hand them cold cans.

The Dr Pepper halftime thing needs to move the contestants back and require them to throw overhand.
Texas has a trump card on Bama.
Washington has to be in.
Michigan has to be in (assuming a win).
I understand the argument against Florida State.
But I don’t see any way the SEC should get 2. If Bama wins, Georgia is out. Sorry bout it.

And where do they always find these nerds?
Texas kicking the **** out of OK State ended that argument. The only way I could see the SEC getting 2 in was that FSU loses, Texas loses, and Bama beats GA.
I am not ashamed to say I'm rooting for UofL today. They suck balls and for them to win the ACC would be hilarious this year. It would actually make our win even better.
Did this last year. The North Pole is a 3 minute visit and then you go back in the other direction. Santa does go through the cars and takes pictures with the kiddos. They also have a limbo contest that the kids lost their minds on.
Really good pizza place a couple of blocks from the station. Good times!!
Aaron Bradshaw. Here we go. This mf'er better play well.
I was told the minimum time to prepare for, and obtain a CDL was 3 months.
Ummmm, I learned the written portion in one night, and other than getting the "geometry" down, with respect to parallel parking a 40 foot long vehicle, could have easily obtained my CDL in a week. To be clear, I'm not talking a Class A CDL (semi-trailers, that's a whole 'nother ball game)
The school system wasn't having it. If they say it takes 3 months, they're going to MAKE it take 3 months.
The point being: No, driving isn't difficult. Unless you're a woman or Oriental.

I don’t know if it got harder since I took mine 40 years ago, but at the last minute I made my girl read the manual and she was glad she did.
She had taken practice quizzes online and said a lot of those questions were not on the test. Manual stuff was.
Lots of good answers and better answers.
Here was one I remember:
What is the age by Ky law you cannot leave a kid alone in a car? 10, 8 or 6?
To me all of them are correct, but the actual law is 8.
The correct answer is: Parental discretion
Also, driving laws have almost nothing to do with "being a good driver" Honestly, they get in the way, more often than not.
Cautious "rule followers" are the most dangerous drivers out there. Remove milquetoast indecision, and there would be far fewer wrecks.
Let's see what Bradshaw can do.

So Wagner will be out 3 weeks. Much better than it could have been and might not be a bad thing to kind of let other lineups have some time to breathe before getting things set in stone.
If I recall my GYEROistory correctly, UNCW is Tommy's alma mater.
Okay, I like Bradshaw already. He's like a kid in a candy store right now, all willy-nilly, but the enthusiasm is beauty
Having Bradshaw out there, really makes you aware of how "small" we've been playing. It looks like a bunch of friends were playing pickup in the driveway, and then one guy's older brother gets home, and joins the game.

We get a 7-footer in there and everything goes to ****.
Wilmington has done their scouting. I'd buy stock in their coach's future. They know exactly where those diagonal passes are going.
