I watch the FSU game in horror last night as the Gators play calling at the end was just absurd and good grief if the place kicker could have just knocked in one of the two last FGs...what might have been.

Ok.  So, bowl wins decides who's best?  And no bitching if your guys don't make more bowls than the other guys.  What was that you said, "Win.  The. Game.?"  Let's go with that.


Sorry, Airboy.  That was more directed at the SEC haters here.  Although, it was a LITTLE bit about winning the Iron Bowl ;)

Hey, I'm not an SEC hater.  Remember that after NC State, my next loyalty is LSU.  I'm a realist, though.  The SEC was pretty unbalanced this year, as was the ACC.  But the ACC still has 11 bowl teams (Wake, Syracuse, UVA not going) and by the end of it all, FSU could have a 'hit list' of 5 teams with 10 wins each.  Everyone has been bagging on FSU for a weak conference, but they just went 4-0 against everyone's favorite conference last weekend.

All that said - I don't know who's going to beat 'Bama in a playoff.

Sad ending to this story.

OLUMBUS, Ohio -- The body of missing Ohio State defensive lineman Kosta Karageorge was found by Columbus police on Sunday after a search that started after he went missing on Wednesday.

Karageorge, 22, was found dead in a dumpster of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was identified by tattoos at the scene, and a police spokesman said the investigation would continue with both the dumpster and the body of Karageorge being transported to the county morgue.

I just read a story about Kargeorge's apparent suicide.  Just a real tragedy.

this is a shit show of a game for the Dolphins.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.


BanzaiCat

Yeah, but they're 7-5 now. An ugly 7-5, but still.

Damn Texans are playing like a 2-10 Jets team but managing to eke out the 6-6 record is a bit shocking. People here are nuts talking about playoffs - they'll have more chance of hitting the lottery than winning a wild card game, but stranger things have happened I guess.

Vikings win, Cowboys and Patriots both lose.  Not a bad weekend. 



On the other hand, the Steelers lost to the fucking Saints, plus I was actually rooting for the Packers yesterday.  I felt dirty.

Well as a Dolphins fan, it's more likely you'll get a Patriots loss.

and that's why American sports need promotion/relegation.  If the loser spends next year in the minor leagues until they earn their way back, suddenly they give a shit about trying to win a late season game against another crappy team
