Your “She’s A Trigger, That Golden Girl” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Hopefully you didn’t spend the day in the same doghouse I did. Sure, I didn’t vacuum before work on Thursday, but I don’t think the police officers cared that the house wasn’t clean when they arrived. I literally

got the “clean underwear in a car accident” treatment over it. Dammit – that calls for booze.

Zlatan Ibrahimović scored a beautiful 500th career goal tonight. Check it out when you can

Sharkbait

Sometimes I wish I went to a bigger school that had a minor league NFL team. I can’t get into it now. I just watch for the upsets mainly. If at all.

ballsofsteelandfury

I understand completely.

Senor Weaselo

I have never attended a school that had a football team. Not in HS, not in undergrad, not in grad school.

Probably not my DMA.

ballsofsteelandfury

Even BETTER playoffs idea:

16 teams
Each conference winner gets in and is seeded based on conference winning percentage in non conference games vs FBS schools.
The rest are at large.

King Hippo

my 16 (the serious proposal) would skip 8 entirely, conference champs if in the Top 25 via some kind of SOS-based mathematical formula like Sagarin, the rest at large. Better seed is home the first two rounds. Would have to work hard on the formula to prevent gaming the system, but we have plenty of neeerrrrdddds who could dae it!

ballsofsteelandfury

That only works if you move the lesser conferences to FCS. No way all the conference champions make the Top 25 because it’s a popularity contest.

...

All conference champs or pound sand

herodotus450

I say we make it 120 teams, they play each other sort of randomly throughout the year, then the national champ is chosen by a secret enclave of rich and powerful football old white dudes.

King Hippo

Mine would mean Boise gets in, not like 6-5 North Texas. Trust me, that’s how you want it. And it’s Sagarin-ish Top 25, not polls.

...

If North Texas somehow wins their conference with 6 wins, they’re in. (That won’t happen, of course as even the winner of a weak conference probably gets 8 wins)

King Hippo

to me, that encourages bad conference affiliation. I don’t like it. There needs to be a threshold when only at 16. There will still be bowls.

...

Conference affiliation is about nothing but TV dollars and teams can not upgrade themselves at will, so this a horrible standard to judge teams on

King Hippo

Happy Appy has been aggressively upgrading itself. It can be done. You have to balance equity and quality. Otherwise, 3/4 of the opening round games will be liquid shit, and awful TV.

...

Only if you don’t stagger the bracket. Do it like the Big East did their basketball tournament when it had 16 teams and you’ll end up with more competitive games

King Hippo

correct, you could make it larger than 16 so the small leagues play-in for the “automatic” berths, but it will just put the Boise-type schools at an even larger disadvantage.

ballsofsteelandfury

If you don’t want North Texas, drop them to FCS. There is no point in being “FBS” if you can’t compete for the championship on the field.

King Hippo

sure you can compete on the field, have a 10 or 11-win season

...

The basketball side does not care which conference you are in and in the process has shown than a number of supposedly unworthy teams can hold their own from time to time.

No sports association/league in the world arbitrarily excludes whole groups of teams because they simply don’t think they’re good and college football’s problem has ALWAYS been its subjective evaluation of teams.

King Hippo

basketball is much less dependent on physical dominance than footy, and is a larger tourney.

Almost by definition, a conference champ that doesn’t make the cutoff is gonna be one that lost every non-conference game against a power-conference side.

ballsofsteelandfury

If they can’t compete, they shouldn’t be in the top division.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Good job, Nevada. 4-3 works a lot better, huh?

When Ohio State has to play a “real” team they tend to be exposed for what they are, King of the Cupcake Eaters.

King Hippo

As bad as the B1G is this year, tOSU can easily absorb a loss here and still make the playoffs.

King Hippo

Better playoffs idea – 8 teams, 4 seeds for the SECCCCC PAWWWWWLLLL, 4 for the plebians. Seed against one another in the first round, of course, for maximum bragging rights. It just means MOAR!

theeWeeBabySeamus

WTF defensive set is Nevada going with here. Looks like a 3-1-4 which I don’t think is actually a thing.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

All right, time to watch some robots smash each other.

herodotus450

First of all, they’re Lizard People not robots, second of all I don’t think they do that anymore with each other, and third of all how did you get that footage of the Clintons?

Senor Weaselo

I look forward to the heat of your taek. You will know the one.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

The etymology of the Texas Christian University mascot comes from the late 1880s when biology professor Dr. Mordecai Johnson showed the students a nude female depiction and the Disciples of Christ students became so aroused he said, “they were like horny frogs, just hopping around with their tongues out’. After that comment football coach Wilton Pennypacker decided it was such an eloquent description of masculinity that after some tweaking the Texas Christian Fasters became the Horned Frogs.

Senor Weaselo

Are you saying the Christian Fasters aren’t masculine enough?

Isn’t there another big free agent WR available out there? Big tall guy, went to Okie State? What’s his name… Justin Blackmon?

There’s a North Eastern powerhouse that would probably be interested in a receiver

I’m thinking he’ll check with Baltimore, Pittsburgh or Cincinnati first to see if they’re interested. That way he can destroy Cleveland twice a year.

Cincy already has a shiny John Ross they are insistent on not using. Yinzburgh is loaded at skill positions. Balmer…maybe.

I’ve taken two naps today. Feels good man.

By an interesting coincidence, I’ve taken two nips today. Also I’ve had several beers.

What that BYU-WISC recap didn’t show: BYU coach calling two timeouts in an attempt to MEGA ICE the kicker and then feign a third timeout and a ULTRA ICE attempt and then celebrating like he just won the Price is Right Showcase Showdown when he successfully got a young man to choke after standing on the field for two minutes thinking about the kick.

King Hippo

I thought he was wasting timeouts, but maybe the head fake on #3 was worth it after all. He got his result!

Top Eight Signs on College GameDay per USA Today

8. Even LeBron left Ohio

7. Where’s Urban?

6. I’d insult Urban but he isn’t here

5. What’s a buckeye?

4. Win or lose…

3. I had a better sign but Urban Meyer covered it up

2. An Ohio State University

1. The Buckeyecracker

ballsofsteelandfury

#3 is my favourite

Redshirt

I’m kind of partial to #2 though, but I would’ve changed to “An Ohio State University – Columbus Campus”.

Now I want Ohio State to create a lower league football team on one of their regional campuses. Just imagine everyone’s reaction if both “The Ohio State University” and “The Ohio State University at Lima” makes the playoffs.

“The first round is the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Ohio State Lima Beans.”
