I am so sick of hearing about the playoff in September. There should be a freakin embargo on the word "playoff" in college football television, radio, and print media before October 20th. For all it's faults at least the BCS kept that under wraps until later in the season.

You have the same chance of dying in a school shooting as you do of being struck and killed by lightning. Hit me with them thunderstruck memes.

"I have no argument so I'm going to be unbearably smug instead."

"You don't have to wear that" is a political statement now? Do you hear yourself? Kids shouldn't be wearing masks in school ever. Nearly every single other country in the world got this memo except for the terminally online doomers who have done nothing but suck down fear porn for two years. Just stop already.

Keystone XL has suffered from a decade of hilarious and hyperbolic messaging from both parties. Dems think it's bad for the environment even though we have tens of thousands of miles of pipelines and it's by far the best way to move oil. Pubs think building the pipeline is the ticket back to $1 gas even though the Keystone pipeline already exists. XL was to take a shorter, more direct route to the refineries. I have a degree in supply chain management and I cringe every time I hear about it. It's a great punching bag if you need re election though.

This is the biggest non story since Trump got two scoops of ice cream.

Months of rioting and violence resulting in several dozen deaths and billions in damages is the same to you as the truck drivers' protest which resulted in no deaths, no collateral property damage and no looting. Do I have your view correct?

Other than injuries the only thing that worries me about this team is below average 3pt shooting. If we were closer to 34% or 35% we'd be a pretty big favorite to win it all. But we're so good at 2pt shots and on defense that we're still pushing most teams around.

I don't know what Kentucky was thinking putting Tyty out there tonight. He didn't look right and he may have injured himself again. Toppin at least looked like a basketball player even though he wasn't 100%. Tyty stirs the drink for them. What does Cal do now? He clearly doesn't trust anyone else in that role and they've got several tough games still to play.

Several important games tonight in CBB. #10 Villanova @ #8 Providence - It's a shame this game is on CBS Sports instead of ESPN or FS1. The Friars have won like a million close games and are getting dinged by the computers for it. IIRC they have either the highest or second highest luck rating ever seen on Kenpom. A Providence win puts them in command of the Big East and could move them up to the 2 line. Florida @ Texas A&M - UF still has chances to improve their resume but they're on the wrong side of the bubble and they're running out of games. If they lose tonight to a TAMU team that hasn't won in a month their bubble is probably burst barring a red hot finish. #4 Kentucky @ #16 Tennessee - If we're ever going to get any help from anybody it's gotta be tonight. Kentucky could be without Toppin and Tyty and they only play seven or eight guys anyway. We'll know by the first TV timeout which Tennessee we're getting tonight. Good Tennessee looks like a top 15 team, bad Tennessee would struggle to score against a team from the YMCA. I've seen UT play a half dozen times and I still don't know if they're a good team or not.

Only down three is a huge win. We looked like we were going to lose by 30 about 15 minutes ago.

Lid on the rim tonight

Jesus everything is a charge

Yay or nay on Zephaniah tonight?

Bump

They're both known quantities... being that they are both 4+ loss coaches. Are you going to act like Nick Marshall and Cam Newton didn't make Gus look competent? Liberty lost 5 games last year with Willis. What's going to happen next year without him?

Jeff Grimes is the budget pick with the biggest upside and we know he can recruit linemen. Hugh Freeze will be Gus 2.0 but with way more personal and NCAA baggage. Anyone seriously floating Muschamp is on drugs and needs an intervention. Pretty uninspiring list overall but what can you do when it's February and you're airing your laundry for the whole country to see?

Q3 loss for Duke is going to do a lot of damage. They probably weren't getting to the 1 line unless they ran the table but that might bump them off well off the 2 line now.

Aaaaaand it's deleted.

I'd say 50% chance UK wins out. They've got some tricky games left @Tennessee, @Arkansas, @Florida, and another tilt against the bammers. I doubt they're going to shoot 10% from three again. If they do I'm going to laugh my ass off.

Honestly I don't feel good about this one. We need Zep back bad or we're going to be out of gas with ten minutes left. Just looking at some stats it seems Arkansas does a lot of the things we do. They're good from 2, rebound and get to the line well, but they only shoot about 30% from 3. We have not looked good in our last two road games against overmatched opponents and we're going to get everyone's best shot with our ranking.

Any truth to the rumor that he's got strep?

Could do a lot worse. He can recruit the big uglies at least.

Marquette is a team I don't want to see come tournament time. That's a sweep of Villanova. There's something rotten down at Texas. Shaka Smart won at VCU and now he's turned Marquette into a contender but couldn't put it together at UT.

Zep's 3 point stroke. He's already an incredible defender... this team is a three point assassin away from being completely unstoppable. If you added 2019 Bryce Brown to this team we would win every game the rest of the year by 10+ en route to a championship.
