So while stuck in traffic I was able to listen to the Panthers game. - nubby Nov 30, 16:45
So, we just watched Fred Claus so we can ship back to Netflix. What a decidely mediocre movie. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:42 8
- I currently have Giant (always love that one) and The Princess Bride....haven't seen this one yet - J Nov 30, 16:45 7
  - PB is overrated. I saw it a year or two ago. Didn't live up to the Godly hype. - Redmond Nov 30, 16:49 5
    - You hate Peanut Butter? -- nm - amoxy Nov 30, 16:59
    - I am sensing a pattern here. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 16:55 2
      - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I didn't see the first Rocky until about 4 years ago and loved it. Godfather first time I saw that was about 6 years ago. - Redmond Nov 30, 17:00 1
        
        I wasn't too crazy about The Incredibles -- nm - J Nov 30, 17:01
    - David? -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:49
  - Princess Bride!!! -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 16:48
hmm, maybe the US won't be the first one to nuke the radical areas of Pakistan -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:38 1

Holy Falcons. Matt Ryan for MVP! -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 16:36 1
- so happy I drafted him in one league, - truman Nov 30, 16:36
I'm seriously considering tickets to the Glory of Christmas at the Crystal Cathedral this year. Then again, I've - MojaveMeg Nov 30, 16:35 2
- i'm all for supporting local theatre, but i think the cathedral could be really cool for a one-time thing. - b! Nov 30, 16:56 1
  - This one has live animals and 'flying' angels. It's quite a production. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 30, 17:03
is guy on st right now? - truman Nov 30, 16:35 2

That'll teach Hillis not to wear a cup. -- nm - nubby Nov 30, 16:33
I have to admit, I will almost feel bad if the Pats do not make the play-offs. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 16:32 1

    - heh -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 16:30
i don't mind Oklahoma jumping over Texas in the BCS standings but that shouldn't be used to determine the conference title - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:28 31
- It sucks primarily because a computer over-ruled the people. Furthermore, OU won't win the NC, and there are 4 reasons for that. - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 16:39 12
  - Ummmm....how do the past year's results impact 2008? - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:43 10
    - If you don't believe past results are a predictor of future performance, you must be a Cubs fan. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 16:48 8
      - Well, since you put it that way, throw out any game older than 2005, since none of the talents now were playing then. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:51 7
        
        The point is that computers shouldn't overrule 2 human polls. They should just run NCAA '08 and make picks from that. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 16:57 6
        
        This system is and always will be a joke, that's a given. I'm waiting for Obama to deliver a college football playoff. -- nm - Dano Nov 30, 17:02 1
        
        he's got so many other promises to fulfill first; if he gets to that, it would be during a 2nd term -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 17:07
        
        Well, at least you're now arguing 2008 should be used instead of 2004/06/07 -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 17:00 3
        
        Pfftt....the bottom of this thread has you defending Texas, and up here you're arguing for OU. When you make up your mind, get back to me. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 17:05 2
        
        It's possible the Big 12 has 2 of the top handful of teams in the nation. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 17:07 1
        
        No, my *logic* is that people should decide if we have no playoff. If we're going to let computers decide everything, then we should've had a Gallup - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 17:10
    - They can score, but their defense is vulnerable. It's OK, as long as it's not OU-UF. Then, I'd root for Al-Qaeda and Muslim extremists in Miami. -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 30, 16:47
  - the schools agreed to be ruled by the computer in exchange for gobs of BCS money. they can't complain about it now -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:43
- I do. They got beat by them. Many years, we don't know who's better. This year, as in 2000 (FSU/UMiami), we got a direct answer. 45-35. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:37 11
  - But then Texas Tech should be ahead of Texas, but then Oklahoma should be ahead of Texas Tech, but then Texas should be ahead of Oklahoma... -- nm - Dano Nov 30, 16:43 10
    - Tech lost out when they got flat out embarassed by Oklahoma. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:46 8
      - how can you eliminate Tech when they beat Texas? -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:47 7
        
        A 45 pt loss. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:52 6
        
        Does Oklahoma get credit for a 45 point win? -- nm - Dano Nov 30, 16:54 1
        
        Not nearly as much as the head to head once you pick out the weakest link. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:58
        
        but they beat Texas -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:53 3
        
        You have to eliminate someone. First out will be the team that got embarassed. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 16:54 2
        
        Texas was embarrassed when they lost to Tech -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:57 1
        
        33-32 on a last second td is not even close to the same idea of a 45pt loss. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 17:01
    - "Primer II" -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:45
- Problem is there's a three-way tie and the teams are all 1-1 against each other. -- nm - Dano Nov 30, 16:34 4
  - then you go to heads-up scores -- nm - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:34 3
    - YEAH!!! -- nm - Steve Spurrier Nov 30, 16:37
    - In this case the result would be the same, and I think in general the polls take scores into account so it would be a factor. - Dano Nov 30, 16:37
    - As in points differential? -- nm - JD Nov 30, 16:36
- What color is the sky in your world? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 16:28
Golden Satellite Nominations - Dano Nov 30, 16:25

      - Ooh a nerd technicality. Admiral -- nm - Redmond Nov 30, 16:28
Is Norv Turner still the coach of the Chargers next year? - Redmond Nov 30, 16:14 1
- is herm edwards still the coach of kc? does gonzales come back next year or just retire? -- nm - truman Nov 30, 16:17

  - And he just got you again -2 -- nm - Redmond Nov 30, 16:11 2
    - Thow. The ball. To Moss. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 16:14 1
      - you would think someone had paid him a tidy sum to turn it over as much as possible - pigby down under Nov 30, 16:23
All I need is 80 points from Matt Forte, Kevin Walter and Josh Scobee. -- nm - Reagen Nov 30, 16:01 2
- It could *totally* happen! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 16:05 1
  - down to 76. -- nm - Reagen Nov 30, 16:38
Cassel picked, but not his fault. tipped -- nm - Redmond Nov 30, 15:54 4
- cassel sucks, but its not his fault, the other defenses are not playing nice. -- nm - truman Nov 30, 15:59
- It is almost like he *wants* eag to beat me. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 15:54 2
  - Im almost conceded this week after Thursday - eag Nov 30, 16:01 1

  - Oh yeah he's getting a fine. -- nm - Redmond Nov 30, 15:37
with a minimum of snark can someone tell me how the Steelers got their last possession? - Mel Profit Nov 30, 15:35 17
- Cassel fumbled -- nm - Redmond Nov 30, 15:39 10
  - again? - Mel Profit Nov 30, 15:40 9
    - This one wasn't his fault. It was a blindside hit. -- nm - Redmond Nov 30, 15:41
    - And to think, I was defending the bum earlier! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 30, 15:41 6
