frick this team. Get down 8-0 to Italy you got no business winning this.

US has no grit or energy. Need to reevaluate everything.

Venezuela has just been flat out better in every aspect. Better AB’s, better pitching, better management. Harper was bound to run into one but Venezuela has been the better team.

I’ll be damn some shortened up swings and nice base hits to opposite field actually helps you.

The whole swing for the fences or strike out approach is killing American baseball. Just awful AB’s.

Can’t home run your way out of this deficit. Italy will take solo shots all day with the US swinging at everything.

Last night wasn’t great. This isn’t a very good baseball team. Some good individuals, but this team isn’t built to win.

“Scary” US lineup my arse. These AB’s have been trash.

That was the entire point of the discussion. It sounds like they’re playing in Mexico City. Not a U.S. city.

No, but I doubt the entire stadium would be there with me cheering against the country’s home team.

Sounds like theyre playing in Mexico City. Kinda pisses me off ngl.
Whoever pisses whitey off is a safe bet.

What? Fake money going down makes you stop believing in the earnings power of companies? da frick


Maybe not the earnings power of companies, but in what their stock price represents, sure. There is manipulation.

Fake money doesn’t reach 3.5 trillion in value and gain institutional adoption. It’s worth considering what has happened since October and especially the last 48 hours. Of course its flaws are weighed heavily right now.
This drop is making me lose confidence not just in crypto but in stocks or any other asset period. Basically all markets in general.

I understand the lack of intrinsic value argument. But did we just decide that in the last week as a society? This is Black Swan territory. There’s not even a hint of support. We all just collectively decided that we’re done with it.

At this point I’m riding to zero.
There’s a reason they blew up the sport via NIL/portal, and this is it. The sport had to break the containment the South had on it. There was just too much potential to lock it all up in one region, and the only way to break that was to upend it.

Coincidentally, immediately after that happens, the conference with the most unlocked eyeball numbers reels off 3 in a row by its biggest brands, and one of the losingest programs of all time who also just happens to have the largest living alumni base won the whole damn thing with an arguable GOAT team.

You couldn’t script it any better if you were negotiating media contracts.

The SEC had to decline in order to unlock a gold mine. It’s going exactly as planned. Even better. USC or Oregon is primed to win it all next year and continue the realization of the sport monetarily.

We have a true playoff now where teams have to win on the field against teams from other conferences.



Were national title games in the BCS era and semifinals in the 4 team era not played against teams from other conferences? Do those games not count? Are all titles prior to 12 teams nulll and void? Were they played at all?


quote:

Who knows how many SEC teams would have won in the past under a true playoff system.


Mathematically, adding more teams decreases the chance of a particular team from a particular conference winning the title because every time a game is played there is a chance to lose. So, yes, it is mathematically less likely that an SEC team wins it all in all of those years. That is just basic math. But we didn’t have a 12-team playoff then.

There are other explanations for this, though. Correlation is not causation.

The level of shenanigans and paying within the SEC was at the institutional level, embraced by the member universities themselves. No other conference comes close.



Where is the proof of this? The entire argument is non-falsifiable anti-SEC fodder. “They were only good cause they cheated” is loser talk.

Football is becoming a much more cerebral game and the South is lacking in that department, especially in the high school ranks.

Can’t just roll a ball out on the field and out-athlete folks anymore.
