re: Rate Zendaya

She’s in shape, and has an average face. That alone is above average.
Next time you are at the grocery store take a look around. There is no way 30% are more attractive than she is.

Attractive, but she doesn't turn my head.
Do people not know what "average" means
The average woman in the USA weighs 170 lbs and is 5'4''
She is 5'10'', 130 lbs. So she is far taller than the average and 50 pounds lighter.
She is at the minimum a 7 in the USA. I am saying that because people in relatively good shape are already above average. You can't compare her to the sorority girls at Bama when they are 19. Compare her to the 38 year old former sorority girl who has 2 kids and has decided she can get away with a lot and looks sloppy
Again, she's not even my type, but to say she's a 5 is laughable

Fencing? Maybe? I know next to nothing about the sport, but it looks to be pretty much entirely dependent on skill and quickness. Even so you'd probably have to segregate divisions by height though.
It may have one of the biggest disparities of any sport.
A good under cadet under 17 male would beat the Olympic champion woman. I did it at OSU and would routinely beat our olympic level women like 15-8 and I was like top 30 in under 20

SEC is a tougher gauntlet than your average big 10 schedule
But that is just not true anymore.
The gauntlet is just a mirage. Vandy was a pretender all season, as was South Carolina. OSU beat Texas, Iowa beat Vanderbilt, South Carolina wasn't good
You can't just use the "regular season" where one overrated SEC team is against another overrated SEC team week in and week out. The only way to know is OOC games/Bowl Games and Playoff games. The B1G was 11-5 in bowl games and playoff games and the SEC was 4-9.
So the SEC teams are great when they play each other, but have been terrible recently against anyone outside the confernce. Means all those great teams are overrated
Fantasy land?
Indiana beat Bama be 35 fing points and could have won by more. Last year OSU beat Tennessee and Texas and beat the team who beat the SEC champ.
Michigan beat the SEC champ in 2023 on the way to winning it all
The B1G has a far better bowl/playoff record the last 3 years than the SEC. Those are just facts

Buckeye06 - Do you think Ole Miss with Kiffin could have played with Indiana?
We will never know, but Kiffin could have won it this year if allowed to coach.
I think Kiffin was at Ole Miss for 5 years, and was never able to get anywhere near the national title game as a coach.
IMO, if he really thought the team this year was good enough to win, he wouldn't have gone to LSU. We will never know as you said, just like it is not a sure thing he ever is that close at LSU over the next 5 years

Ok, now add the schedule into that analysis. Sec and Big Ten are not the same.
You're right, the B1G is harder and has proven it on the field the last 3 years.

I would say Curt Cignetti understands it better than Kiffin. He took a team who was the worst in the history of CFB and in 2 years won a national title with transfers.
If Kiffin was as good as Cig he would have won national titles at a school who had far better talent when he got there

when Wisconsin played in Tuscaloosa (which had one of those embarrassing 11am kicks), and they were calling us pussies because the bars on the strip weren't already open at 6 o'clock.
Yea in Columbus we would do kegs and eggs at like 5:30 am on gamedays
To be fair, the B1G has way more noon kicks so you gotta drink early
re: How do Olympians afford to live and train?
Posted by Buckeye06 on 2/17/26 at 9:26 am to GeauxTigers123
A ton of Olympians are already on that level in high school. So they are still living with their parents. So their parents, then they choose to go to college or not. I assume now you can make some good NIL cash if you are an Olympian.
That gets you to around 22 if you go to college, 23 if you skip a year for the Olympics. Post college, the ones I knew (like 10 years ago) did small jobs on the side and had 3-4 small sponsors each. You may work 15-20 hours a week, then train 25 hours a week. Have an energy drink sponsor give you $2k a month, a collagen company give you $1k and a company for your sport give you another $2k a month or just free equipment.

It’s a moot point I guess. I just don’t understand how a team that made two obvious mistakes gets awarded a season high score while a team that was near perfect
That's fair. I don't know enough about ice dancing. If it's like diving the Chinese always do way harder routines/dives so even if they aren't perfect they get scored higher as a baseline.

The French judge was the only one who had the French pair far ahead of the Americans
Judge 9 and Judge 3 have the French far ahead. Judge 6 also has them ahead. Judge 4 has it split. Again of the total top scores on the day, Judge 9 gave the French the highest score, then Judge 5 for the Americans (the US judge), then judge 1 for the French (the French Judge), then Judge 8 and judge 3 were about even for one team each.
The US judge has a pretty large disparity as well, just not as massive as the French judge. Again, I get the issue, but I see other judges scoring the french just as high (or higher)

she severely underscored the Americans, and the French made two very obvious mistakes. The other judges apparently noticed the mistakes, why didn’t the French judge?
So did 2 other judges, having the French far ahead of the Americans.

this is an even bigger scandal
Again, the French had 4 of the top 6 total scores, so 3 of the other 5 even excluding this French judge. 2 other judges had the French at least 3-4 points ahead
Judges 3 and 9 had massive advantages for the French duo as well. Another judge had them exactly even.
This doesn't seem like that big of a conspiracy

No sh*t
No matter who you are doing 50 reps at 2X bodyweight is legit impossible in today’s world
If you could do 20 reps at that it would be likely impossible without central nervous system failure

The pressure of the Olympics is so high and people who have never competed anywhere near that level can’t understand any of the pressure
I was a college athlete who was a top 20 guy in my age class in the USA. Nothing like being at world championships and that is nothing like the Olympics. The pressure ramp is insane

last 20 years
What about the last 5 years or so when NIL has been such a large impact on players.
Kids are choosing to stay in school over being 4th round picks because they can make $500k and be in school
I feel like the easy fix here is to have 9 judges and get rid of the highest and lowest score or top 2 and bottom 2. Then you have to have a lot of collusion for this to be an issue
However, looking at this graph, the French had 4/6 of the top 6 scores total and judge 4 had them as the exact same.
Am I reading that wrong? No one is complaining about Judges 3 and 9 who had the French far ahead
