The complete listing of bowl game results from the 2005-06 season, courtesy of ESPN ... (linky) - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:49 5
- Yeah, Joel, you need to look at the dates. - David Jan 2, 22:53 4
  - Yeah, David, you need to look at the dates. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:55 3
    - which is the 2005 season... - David Jan 2, 23:00
    - oh just sleep together already you two -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 22:56 1
      - Oh great now im gonna have nightmares tonight just thinking about that -- nm - eag Jan 2, 23:02
Radar Love? (the song that causes the most speeding tickets) -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 22:45
It's a little late, but I'd like to officially congratulate the Utah Utes on their National Championship! - musubi Jan 2, 22:16 22
- It's their punishment for Prop 8 -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 22:36 1
  - Nah, that was the whooping Arizona put to BYU. (nm) - musubi Jan 2, 22:48
- I agree with you, but now you need to start arguing that the Pac-10 is a stronger conference in football than the SEC. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:27 19
  - Im a huge Pac-10 guy but im not sure I would say that - eag Jan 2, 22:38 4
    - Yup, behind the SEC East and the SEC West. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:41 3
      - You could make an argument that the Mountain West was better than the Big Ten this year -- nm - eag Jan 2, 22:44 1
        
        and after tonight, the SEC too -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 22:49
      - *giggle* (nm) - musubi Jan 2, 22:44
  - I don't need to argue, the numbers speak for themselves. (nm) - musubi Jan 2, 22:28 13
    - USC is like early 1990s Florida State. They always find a way to not win a title but still get a top 5 ranking. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:38 11
      - Yup, it's called, "SEC voter bias". - musubi Jan 2, 22:45 10
        
        Usc and Florida would have been an intrguing matchup this year -- nm - eag Jan 2, 22:50 3
        
        Certainly would have been. - musubi Jan 2, 22:56 2
        
        Florida may be the only team that I think could have given the trojans a game or beaten them -- nm - eag Jan 2, 23:00 1
        
        Till someone actually beats Utah, I'm not willing to say anyone (even the Trojans) are better. (nm) - musubi Jan 2, 23:03
        
        aka the Beat Oregon State, Oregon and Stanford and there would be no need for crying. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:49 5
        
        Who's crying? I'm celebrating 3 consecutive Rose Bowl wins. - musubi Jan 2, 22:50 4
        
        Beating the second best Big 10 team the last couple of years was better than a national title? - David Jan 2, 22:55 3
        
        Meh. National titles are nice, but they're mere icing on cake, not real substance. - musubi Jan 2, 22:59 2
        
        Ohio State didn't go to the Rose Bowl the last two years because they were in the title game instead. That's what I meant. -- nm - David Jan 2, 23:03 1
        
        Yes, but this season when they were supposed to be just as good, USC man-handled them. - musubi Jan 2, 23:06
    - ("Seven.") -- nm - Monica Jan 2, 22:38
"Why don't you ask me about Buffalo Bill?" -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 22:11
I thought Sheen was more interesting than Langella in Frost/Nixon, but I'd be most interested in hearing a Langella acceptance speech. -- nm - Max Jan 2, 21:52 5
- Yeah, Langella's a great speaker but I think Sheen is seriously underrated. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 2, 22:08
- You think a) too much, and b) dumbly. nm - Dignan Jan 2, 22:06 1

Welp, laid off again. Wonder how long it'll last this time. -- nm - the darcy Jan 2, 21:23 15
- don't worry - pigby Jan 2, 22:08 3
  - You promise? :D -- nm - the darcy Jan 2, 22:27
  - shut up just SHUT UP! It's not going to happen, so S.M.D. Beyotch! -- nm - Trish Jan 2, 22:18 1
    - I wonder how long it's going to take for me to not laugh out loud at this. - TFox Jan 2, 22:21
- sorry :/ hopefully not long at all. -- nm - b! Jan 2, 21:58
- That sucks. Get a job at Target next time. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 2, 21:25 9
  - I seriously wish. Walmart's the only 'department' store we have around here. :( -- nm - the darcy Jan 2, 21:26 8
    - You must live in a nightmarish land. - JaxSean Jan 2, 21:36 7
      - We fondly refer to it as the antechamber to Hell. -- nm - the darcy Jan 2, 22:07 4
        
        I'm imagining it as Mordor. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:10 3
        
        At least Mordor had a bitchin' tower. We just have a Walmart. -- nm - the darcy Jan 2, 22:26
        
        It's more like northern Mordor--where the border meets Rohan. - Trish Jan 2, 22:20 1
        
        Year is still real young and you have very stiff competition -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 22:33
      - With horns that pierce the sky? -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Jan 2, 21:39 1
        
        For $300. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 2, 21:41
I did watch the method, dano. it was *super.* you're right about it being required business school watching. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 2, 21:19 7

  - Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 21:45 5
    - boiler room, too. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 2, 21:53 4
      - Surprisingly not quite as relevant: Taking Care of Business. nm - Dignan Jan 2, 21:55 3
        
        for ethics classes, that eddie murphy bill murray movie should be screened. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 2, 21:59 2
        
        Do you mean Trading Places? nm - Dignan Jan 2, 22:04 1
        
        She's either mistaking Jeffrey Wright for Murphy or she's saying all white guys look the same. - Max Jan 2, 22:21
For those interested, the Top 100 H$Moneymakers of 2008, courtesy of KaiGee. -- (link) - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Jan 2, 21:15 1
- some of those advances are really something. -- nm - b! Jan 2, 21:58
watching the Miss America pre-series on TLC. the girls were asked: why does the sun darken our skin and lighten our hair?.most ladies were baffled :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 2, 21:06
The unborn ads make me laugh every time - shay Jan 2, 21:06
Was there any Rolling Stones on the vh1 list? Talking Heads? I'm thinking this is the Top 100 they can get licensing for -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 21:04 11
- Yeah, those Talking Heads were a kickass hard rock band. - TFox Jan 2, 21:06 10
  - Burning Down the House? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 22:30 1
    - Hardest ass shit I ever heard. That's why Momix danced their encore to it when I saw them in November. - TFox Jan 2, 22:32
  - I think they did a good job, everything they picked was "hard" rock. They didn't get a bunch of pop songs in there and try to pass them off as hard. - Trish Jan 2, 21:10 2
    - Paint it Black? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 22:32
    - I am in the agreeance. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 21:12
  - "psycho Killer was their hardest song, and that was barely a pop song -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 21:09 4
    - I laughed my ass off when they used Psycho Killer in this year's Simpsons Treehouse of Horror. - Trish Jan 2, 21:25 2
      - Another easy disqualifier? Seeing David Byrne once. Ever. - TFox Jan 2, 21:29 1
        
        It's the same with The Cars--they had some great tunes, but I wouldn't ever call them hard rock. -- nm - Trish Jan 2, 21:36
    - spoils - TFox Jan 2, 21:11
Repost: ESPN Streak for the Cash. Group = SlackerTalk, Password = berymander. -- (link) - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:50
they chose a lame selection for the Clash, I mean come on, LONDON BURNING -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 20:49 16
- You mean London Calling? -- nm - Trish Jan 2, 21:18 7
  - There's a song called London's Burning too, on their first album. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 21:19 6
    - gotcha--that just wasn't ever a stand out for me like London Calling was :) -- nm - Trish Jan 2, 21:22 5
      - This has inspired me to play my live Clash album, and has improved the quality of my Friday night. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 21:26 4
        
        Heee! See, you should play Rock Band. "Should I Stay or Should I Go" is on the setlist for RB1 - Trish Jan 2, 22:05 3
        
        If I had Rock Band, I would lose another 20 lbs just from drumming. - TFox Jan 2, 22:08 2
        
        You should get an xbox for your birthday or anniversary or something :) - Trish Jan 2, 22:24 1
        
        SheFox wants a Wii. XBox is very much not her speed. - TFox Jan 2, 22:29
- what did they pick? -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 20:57 7
  - should I stay or should I go -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 20:59 6
    - In a lot of cases, they didn't pick the "best" song a band has ever done, but they picked the most influential. - Trish Jan 2, 21:04
    - One of their many brilliant songs. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 21:01 4
      - This is one of my favs -- (link) - lileve Jan 2, 21:01 [youtube] 1
        
        The Urge did a great cover of that on the Clash tribute album. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 21:03
      - Safe European Home -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 21:01 1
        
        Guns of Brixton -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 21:05
2 down, 25 to go! -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:46
I can't wait to see wait Utah will do in the next round. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:43 1
- They belong. - zunk Jan 2, 20:49
Roll Tide! -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 20:42
RC, the toughest conference in the land that just had it's #3 team get beat up on by like the 5th or 6th best from the SEC? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:36 33
- Don't try and be rational with him. The concept of defense is foreign to the man. -- nm - David Jan 2, 21:28
- Well, if we're going to go by a single match-up, then I guess we'll both agree that the Pac-10 is currently the toughest conference in the land. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 20:40 30
  - I'd go by the fact they were 5&0 in bowls to make that argument myself, but really - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:42 28
    - My point is that if we're going to use a single snapshot as the only basis of conference strength, let's at least use something broader ... - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 21:17 23
      - So, let's ignore the game where a second tier SEC team beat a top tier Big 12 because that hurts your argument? -- nm - David Jan 2, 21:36 22
        
        No, not at all. I'm saying that one game doth not a conference make. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 21:42 21
        
        Which is better, 5-2 or 3-2? - David Jan 2, 21:56 20
        
        Which is better, 5-2 or 5-0? - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:01 19
        
        Show the actual stats rather than vaguely mentioning them and we'll talk. Until then, they're irrelevant. - David Jan 2, 22:12 18
        
        What do you think I've been working on for the past week? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:18 4
        
        A list of people who are in no way, shape or form the same level of box office draw to Adam Sandler, apparently. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:22 3
        
        Ppppffffttt -- that took me half an hour. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:26 2
        
        I don't know whether you mean the Sandler List or Big 12 stuff, but I'm assuming it's about equal in terms of nonsense. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:30 1
        
        My comprehensive statistical analysis of the SEC versus the Big-12 has occupied about 2 hours a day for the past week. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:32
        
        2007 bowl results... - David Jan 2, 22:18 12
        
        2006 bowl results - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:23 5
        
        No. - David Jan 2, 22:28
        
        looks up... looks down... well something's not right. -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 22:24 3
        
        Just like a Big 12 guy: all offense, no defense. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:29 2
        
        Isn't Iowa State in the Big 12? Doesn't that settle it right there? -- nm - TFox Jan 2, 22:33 1
        
        Since they weren't in a bowl game in 2006, not really. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:36
        
        2006 bowl results... - David Jan 2, 22:22 5
        
        I don't know what you're looking at, but it's wrong information. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:24 4
        
        I think you should do your own research rather than crib off someone else. -- nm - David Jan 2, 22:29 2
        
        I'm using Wikipedia as a handy-dandy little shorthand to combat you here and now. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:31 1
        
        See, that would be cribbing off someone else. - David Jan 2, 22:35
        
        2005 bowl results - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:25
    - You're not giving Mississippi enough credit. They seemed to play to their competition but they won at Florida and LSU and played tough at Alabama. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:45 3
      - They're a good team, but they ain't national title worthy as proven by the 4 losses - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:47 2
        
        Yeah, Ole Miss is certainly not among the upper tier of SEC teams in terms of talent. That was just embarrassing for Texas Tech and the Big 12. -- nm - David Jan 2, 21:31 1
        
        Utah is certainly not among the upper tier of the NCAA in terms of talent. That was just embarrassing for Alabama and the SEC. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 22:09
  - naturally -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 20:41
- Overall Mississippi was #4 in the SEC, but realistically by the end of the season I would have put them #3. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:38
I just made a run through the new DLC stuff. Now Kelly's going through and getting what she wants - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:35 9
- I'm picking up RB2 tomorrow....I'm excited, i've never played before -- nm - J Jan 2, 20:43 1
  - Honestly, I liked the playlist for RB1 better, but the play is improved 100% on RB2. - Trish Jan 2, 20:48
- The last dlc I bought were the 3 Foo Fighter songs last week. - Trish Jan 2, 20:38 6
  - I'm glad to see they're expanding to add some country songs as well. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:40 5
    - I swear, I came *this* close to getting that Brad Paisley song and I don't even really like country overall. - Trish Jan 2, 20:42 4
      - I just told Kelly that if Paisley tours this way, I'd like to see him. He's a fun act. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 20:43 3
        
        Ahh, the things we do for love. - kelly Jan 2, 21:00
        
        ...and he's hot -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 20:48 1
        
        He's just adorable, isn't he? I had no idea he was so cute until I saw his album cover in the RB dlc. -- nm - Trish Jan 2, 20:49
LIR: Trish, that list is completely different from the one they did maybe 5 or something years ago... kinda funny -- nm - Gwaahjo Jan 2, 20:33 5
- ohhhhhh, hard rock! now i see -- nm - Gwaahjo Jan 2, 20:33 4
  - This was all "hard" rock--they included some metal, grunge, hairband, and prog stuff in the mix. -- nm - Trish Jan 2, 20:39 3
    - you guys gotta see The Wrestler. -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 20:42 2
      - Is the funny Jericho guy in it? - Trish Jan 2, 20:44 1
        
        no it's the Mickey Rourke movie with nekkid Marisa TOmei. -- nm - Remlik Jan 2, 20:59
(.)(.) -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 20:23 2
