We will disagree.
What hurt the ACC this year was a weak ACC.

FSU spent part of the season campaigning the Big 10 or SEC to take them from that tissue paper conference.
Pac 12 had 2 teams that were good. Oregon Washington
Big 10 Had OSU and Mich
SEC had Bama, UGA and Ole Miss

ACC had FSU and no one else.

We bitch all the time the SEC doesnt play anyone
Bama plays a Playoff conetnder in texas and loses and they should be punished.
IF Bama had played North Alabama instead of FSU playing them Bama would have been the #1 seed. so we want to punish teams for playing good teams?

Bama had the #5 Strength of schedule
FSU #55

Bama's best win was #6 UGA #11 Ole miss #14 LSU and lost to #3 Texas
FSU Beat #14 LSU and beat #15 Louisville (who lost to Kentucky the week before)

But Bama beat 6-6 Auburn by 3, and FSU beat 6-6 BC by 2.
But Bama was tied at the half with USF and FSU was down by 13 to North Alabama in the 2nd

Liberty is 13-0 and no one wants them in the playoffs because they played no one.  So the moral of the story is doesnt matter you play tougher teams all that matters is you go undefeated against weak teams.

ACC voted against expansion and delayed it a year

Bama gets curbed stomped? Well lets see if it happens. We might lose, this isnt a typical Bama team, but I picked Georgia last week and was shocked at what I saw.

Michigan is favored by 2 for a reason, maybe Harbaugh can get Saban's signals or maybe Saban changes them in time.

Avatar bet?

Crewe, I am pulling for UT for a rematch. I like Bama's chances.

Congrats man, Michigan out played us. I will change my avatar even though we didnt do a bet. Hail to the victors.

The XFL and USFL merger is about to be complete. Rumored to be renamed the UFL.

4 teams from each league is rumored to be in the new league. Supposed to have the stallions so I am excited.

Did I know you got married? I think I knew that? Not sure, but congrats if I didnt say so lol
A new house is fun and stressful. Ive been in mine about 5 years now and just got it settled in last year, everything the way I want it lol
It's fun project though.
Why dont you get some more cats/ lol
That really sucks though, it's the only downside to pets. You have really have to start making quality of life observations.
My dog is 13 now. when he was 9, we found a large mass in around his heart and esophagus so there was no way it was going to be removed.
At the time it wasnt really affecting him as we caught it on a checkup xray. Doc said his breed mix etc and the mass, maybe two years. Well he's made it two more plus so we are on bonus time.
Although I had to drop nearly four bills on him the other day, but totally worth it seeing that happy boy. He's diminishing quickly though, we agree this is probably his last year, if that long.
I told her Im counting on her to help me see when he's hurting because I don't trust just me to notice.
Till then though, whee... lol

I cannot believe your kid is 18, thats unreal dude. it just can't be lol
thats gotta be cool though, having your boy graduate and move on. that's your retirement plan lol
Glad things are well other than the cat hiccup.

I've been on a movie tear for a while now. My other and I are movie buffs and like,almost the same genre although she isn't down with war movies, but I don't like musicals so I consider us even.
We go to movies as often as possible.
I have that bucket list movie poster of 100 to see before you die and just finished it off.
I have one more to go (West Side Story, speaking of musicals) on the AFI original top 100.
Then I have about 9 more to go on the AFI 10th year anniversary list. It's a fun hobby.
For Christmas, she got me everyone's a Critic movie book. it has 52 genre categories defined (pick a famous stars first movie, pick a movie from the depression era, pick an academy award winner etc...)of movies and you are to watch one a week and it has short 2 page questionnaire about the movie, why you chose it etc, what you liked, didn't like etc...
She has one too and at the end of the year, we are going to trade books and watch each others list, so that will be fun.

So, get to the movies, or at least watch at home while hermitting lol

Glad to hear that pooch is doing good.

One thing I got into was action figures ... masters of the universe to be exact. It started during covid, and loved MOTU when I was a kid and saw they were doing a modern version and said

"I will only collect Skeletor and He man" Next thing I know I have most of the line LOL

When I get my new house i will post the room. I also pick up a few Spiderman and Batman here and there.

Yep, gonna try to enjoy this one. Last of an era.

And yes, count me as one of the ones that understands realignment was going to happen but I'm really not looking forward to it.

Agreed, not a fan of re alignment. Expected it. I think the conferences will contract in the future due to money not being as much in the future.

I find myself not really a fan of much in the way of new content. Maybe it's just me being my usual stubborn self, maybe I just reject modernity when it comes to content, I don't know (nor do I really concern myself with it). I've been rewatching The X-Files with a group of my friends, and one of the things I've noticed is my growing contempt for the show. When I was younger, I loved the series. When I watched through it last time, it was with someone else that I no longer associate with, and even then, some of the episodes ground my gears all wrong.

Yesterday we watched Humbug and The Calusari. Humbug is one of my favorites, whereas the Calusari I absolutely despise. And as much as I like the concept of the series, as fondly as I think of the series, I kind of only really like the first season. Some of my favorite episodes are not in the first season, but the first season has some of my favorites, like Ice and Darkness Falls, Jersey Devil. Of course it has Tooms, a villain I didn't really like. We're finally coming to an end to season 2, we should have been way beyond season 2, but like a prick I've put off watching X-Files with them and instead we watched other stuff. But like a bad case of leprosy, it's just kind of dangling out there, ready to fall off, so finally I shrugged and we're going to finish season 2. Only 9 more to go! Seasons 6-9 are just god awful, and season 10/11 are thankfully short. I haven't even seen the final season, to be honest, the revival series filled me with the same dread I had for Twin Peaks: The Return, and just like Twin Peaks' revival series, I didn't much care for what I saw in s10.

Reinvestigated some old series that they don't even play anymore on TV, like Spicy City and First Wave. They're both a bit rough around the edges, but they're not the worst. First Wave reminds me of The Outer Limits (90s revival series) where they throw in sex scenes, but it was regular network TV, so any nudity was always off-screen. I hate those scenes for the same reason I hate nudity in an HBO series, it's just not content I ever cared for in TV.

We watched the original Ghost Adventures "documentary", and then the first season of the show. Yeah, don't do that. Usually I have a pretty strong tolerance for crap, but I'm a hard skeptic and that one just made me want to punch holes in the wall. Zak Bagans is like Adam Sandler, if you get joy out stupid, you might like it.

I am enjoying Twisted Metal and futurama reboot

I havent been to the theatre since Top gun last year. Work gave us tickets.
Finally saw Guardians 3 on Disney plus. Pretty good, did not like this groot version.
But enjoying twisted metal, damn good series so far.
