Honestly, I don’t see why a religion that has unmanly teachings like “turn the other cheek” shouldn’t have women pastors.

Cool it with the anti-Semitism, bro. Some of the Jewish people on this website might be upset at how you’re arguing the Old Testament doesn’t matter.

All 365 days of the year are already paid days off for federal employees. What difference does one more paid day off make?

I find the spread to be kind of surprising with Ole Miss' chaos.

So, would the spread be 31.5 without Ole Miss' chaos? Or are the books just not adjusting the spread at all due to Ole Miss' chaos?

Didn't Nebraska help lead to this by being one of the first teams to switch conferences?

There are still plenty of bad NFL draft picks today. And punters and FG kickers used to be drafted higher than they are today. The reason why kickers aren’t drafted as high today is ironically because of the greatly increased quality of punters and FG kickers. That’s made most punters and FG kickers pretty interchangeable with each other, so there’s really no need to draft one before the 5th or 6th round.

The Big Ten actually only changed its official name to the Big Ten just 3 years before PSU joined the conference. The Big Ten was officially called the Western Conference until 1987 even though nobody really had called them that name probably since WW2. So the Big Ten really should have changed the name to Big 11 when PSU joined since they had the name Big Ten for such a short period of time. But they didn't.

They're under the ACC GOR in their non-football sports. And IIRC, the GOR gives the ACC the right to all ND athletic events (except for football), no matter how many other teams are at the event. That would be problematic enough for basketball. But it would be even more problematic for something like track and field, where the ACC would then have the TV rights to the entire Big Ten track championships if just one ND runner make the track championship. And, as stupid as it sounds, the BTN basically has to air stuff that nobody watches like track and field championships just so that TV providers won't drop the BTN from roughly mid-March until late August of every year.

The legal validity of the GOR isn't really determined since FSU, Clemson, and UNC settled out of court. But if the GOR is legally valid, there's really no way the Big Ten can take ND.

It’s because the ACC would have been furious if they didn’t get a team.


The committee actually could have easily solved that problem by putting Duke in the playoffs over JMU. As I discussed in my previous post.


But instead the committee ends up seeming retarded by letting a #60ish JMU into the playoffs rather than a #35ish Duke, and jumping Miami over ND when both are idle.

It’s presumably because Duke upset UVA and the ACC fans were going to be furious if no ACC team made it.

UVA would have been 11-2 and would have had a decent enough resume to make it over JMU and Tulane. Duke on the other is 8-5, including a head to head loss to Tulane.
